Chen Derong raised his eyes and saw Chen Kexin and Wang Weixi standing at the door. He smiled and said, "My dear daughter, my good son-in-law, you are here. Come and sit down."
Wang Weixi nodded slightly and greeted politely, "Dad, hello, aunts." He was very polite, yet distant.
But Chen Kexin turned her face away without saying a word.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.
Wang Weixi pulled her over to sit down, but found that she had become the focus. The aunts who were dressed extremely elegantly were staring at Wang Weixi with sharp eyes. They seemed to be used to being ignored by Chen Kexin, and did not say anything.
Wang Weixi found that because he was too nervous, a fine layer of sweat had appeared on his back.
The dining table was strangely quiet, with only the servants busy serving the food.
Chen Kexin looked around, looking for Chen Keren.
"Is this the man Ke Xin is determined to marry at all costs?" Finally, a woman sitting closest to Chen Derong spoke up, breaking the false silence.
Wang Weixi frowned slightly. No one would feel comfortable hearing this.
Chen Kexin was about to get angry, but Wang Weixi just pulled her hand and said, since it was Chen Derong who invited them, let Chen Derong deal with it.
"Yeah." Chen Derong nodded, with some displeasure on his face.
"I can't tell much. She's just so-so, with a nice figure. But as for her temperament, oh, she looks poor. Derong, you and your daughter are really like 'the younger generation pushing the older generation forward'." The woman sitting in the second seat said sarcastically.
Wang Weixi was speechless. He had already cursed this woman many times in his heart. Was it necessary to belittle himself like this? But on the surface, he still just smiled.
Chen Kexin was so angry that she gnashed her teeth, but Wang Weixi still held her back and told her not to get angry. He just sat there calmly, not showing any emotion. As the saying goes, elders should always be polite when meeting each other. Moreover, only two of the five aunts had spoken. If he got angry now, wouldn't the other three have no chance to say the sarcastic words they had prepared for him
Wang Weixi was able to bear it well, and he didn't want his initial rudeness to tarnish the reputation of Chen Derong, his father-in-law who was very proud.
"Second sister, what you said is a bit too much." Chen Derong said with a forced smile.
Chen Kexin also calmed down and said coquettishly: "Yes, Second Aunt, you always speak like your rank is the same as mine."
Wang Weixi turned around and looked at Chen Kexin with some amusement. As expected, his wife was not a good person.
It turned out that the person sitting there was Chen Kexin's second aunt Chen Duanrong. Chen Duanrong didn't understand what it meant, but just asked curiously: "What do you mean?"
Chen Kexin said calmly, "It's nothing, just the most popular compliment on the Internet right now. Second Aunt, aren't you always very fashionable? How come you don't even know these?"
Wang Weixi really wanted to laugh at this moment, but he said very gentlemanly: "Kexin, don't tease Second Aunt, Second Aunt has a lot of
How can I know these things when there are things to do? "
Unexpectedly, the second aunt ignored Wang Weixi and said with a red face: "Of course I know, how could the second aunt not know? I was just teasing you."
Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin looked at each other and said nothing more.
At this time, the third aunt started again. "Wang Weixi, right? I heard that your family lives in the most remote village in Y City. When you got married, your mother didn't come. Is this true?"
The aunts looked at each other, with provocation clearly in their eyes.
"Your brother-in-law is not your son-in-law, why do you care so much?" At this moment, Chen Keren came over, stared at the aunts coldly, and then slowly sat down.
When Chen Kexin saw Chen Keren, she said happily, "Keren, what were you doing just now?"
Chen Keren glanced at Chen Kexin indifferently, and then rolled her eyes at Wang Weixi. It seemed that she didn't like Wang Weixi's timid and submissive attitude. "I went to your room to rest for a while." She replied lazily.
But I don't know how I ended up helping him. Didn't I come here to see Wang Weixi's show? Chen Keren thought with some frustration.
Seeing Chen Keren coming, everyone at the table remained silent, as if frozen.
The third aunt's face looked really ugly. She was actually spoken to like this by a junior in front of the new junior. It was really an embarrassment to her.
Chen Derong coughed dryly and said, "Let's eat. We can talk after we finish eating."
"I'm afraid that your two precious daughters, Derong, don't want to chat with us after eating." At this time, the fourth aunt said sarcastically.
Wang Weixi originally wanted to have a good tantrum, but Chen Keren's joining made him feel that he didn't need to say anything at all.
As expected, as soon as the fourth aunt finished speaking, Chen Kexin said indifferently: "The fourth aunt is still so self-aware."
"Yes, among the aunts, she has always been the most self-aware, aunt, don't you think?" Chen Keren continued to add, as if she was still afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
The faces of those aunts turned green.
At this time, Fifth Aunt began to smooth things over: "Hey, what's wrong? Why are you talking so harshly? Aren't we all here for a family gathering? It's a rare occasion for us to get together, so let's be happy."
"That's right, what's important is to be happy." Chen Derong had not dared to interrupt, but this time he saw the opportunity and quickly agreed.
Chen Keren gave him a sharp look, and Chen Derong immediately stopped talking.
Wang Weixi's stomach was growling with hunger.
He kept criticizing those women in his heart. It seemed that this family gathering would really become a silent murder scene. But what was killed was not the human body, but the human spirit.
The aunts knew that Chen Keren was not a good person, so they kept silent. Then everyone started to eat quietly.
"Abalone is something that gets more and more boring the more you eat it. Derong, can't you prepare some fresh dishes?" After a while, the aunt started
Spoken.
Although Wang Weixi had never eaten abalone, he really didn't like it very much. He was used to eating simple meals, and the food of these so-called "rich people" really made him lose his appetite.
Chen Derong smiled and said, "Big sister, what do you want to try? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it."
The eldest aunt smiled contemptuously and said, "I'm tired of all the delicacies from land and sea. I said, my nephew-in-law from the countryside, you should be able to cook a lot of home-cooked dishes, right? How about it? Do you want to make some for us?"
Wang Weixi raised his eyes and met the aunt's conspiratorial gaze. It was clear that she was taking the opportunity to mock him.
Chen Derong quickly said, "How can this be possible? My son-in-law is a guest, how can we let him do this?"
"Is your family's chef only able to cook aristocratic meals since birth? If you want to eat, can't you ask someone in your family to cook it?" Chen Kexin said unhappily.
Chen Keren didn't say anything, just ate by herself.
Wang Weixi smiled and said, "I only cook for my family. I never cook for others. I'm sorry, aunt." His smile seemed so natural and elegant. There was not a bit of the "rustic flavor" that those women wanted to see. Instead, it was aggressive, making the eldest aunt look unhappy.
"You mean, we are not a family anymore? Oh Derong, look at your good son-in-law. He wants to cut off relations with us just because I teased him a few times. This... I really can't afford to come to your family." The eldest aunt said with a cunning smile.
Wang Weixi looked at the eldest aunt who was talking speechlessly. Just one aunt was not enough, and the second aunt was also intervening and said, "That's right, we, as aunts, are really like 'daughters who are married off and spilled,' and have no relationship with the Chen family anymore? The nephew's husband's words are really interesting."
"But Ke Xin is also a married daughter. I wonder if in the eyes of her niece's husband, you, the father-in-law, are not also a member of the family?" The third aunt was indeed a tough girl.
Only then did Wang Weixi realize how damn naive he was. Was he considered a coward because he didn't say anything at first
Chen Derong was in a dilemma and could only comfort both sides by saying, "It's just a joke by the kids. Don't be angry, sisters. This is the first time Weixi has met you. You guys were indeed a bit harsh in your words. Don't blame Weixi for not listening."
Those people stared at Wang Weixi angrily, but Wang Weixi smiled at them innocently.
"Since we can't ask our niece's husband to do it, I wonder if our niece Ke Xin can be asked?" Suddenly, the fourth aunt asked with half-closed eyes, "After all, if you marry a man like this, you can't afford a nanny, right? So you have to do it yourself, right?"
Wang Weixi was stunned, and Chen Keren looked up at her in surprise. Her pretty face was filled with a sickeningly hypocritical smile.
"Hasn't Ke Xin always been living a life of luxury? Second sister, please don't make things difficult for the young couple." The fifth aunt said like a "goody-goody".
Wang Weixi couldn't help but get angry. These women said they could do it, but how could they say that about his own women
