Feng Qi said, “Hehe, Fang Xiaonuan, I advise you to be self-aware. Look at your whole body. The word ‘cheap’ is written on it. The Fang family cannot even measure up to one-tenth of the Ji family. You know very well how you married into this family. How can you compare to Rou’er? The two of you are completely different!”
Fang Xiaonuan glanced at Feng Qi, and then her gaze paused on Feng Qi’s neck. She looked at the expensive necklace, and said, “Yeah! I’m cheap, unlike you! That necklace is worth tens of millions. Those who know about it know where the money came from. Those who don’t know would think that big brother was embezzling and taking bribes!”
“Impudent!” Old Master Ji said sternly. In just a short while, he was so angry that his entire body began trembling. His eldest daughter-in-law was extremely stupid although she was middle-aged, while his second daughter-in-law was so young, yet so rude.
One was talking about Lin Rou, whom he hated the most, while the other was daring enough to say such outrageous things. It was simply worrying.
Ji Kangde’s expression was not too good either. “Fang Xiaonuan, seeing that you’re still young, I won’t pursue this matter.” After saying this, he looked at Ji Lingchen and said, “You’re not young anymore. Take care of your woman.”
Even though Ji Lingchen’s felt uneasy, he still appeared calm on the surface. He replied, “The same goes to my big brother.”
“In the future, no one is allowed to speak like this at restaurants. In the future, if anyone speaks like this again, they will have to get the h*ll out!” Old Master Ji gritted his teeth and declared. As soon as he finished speaking, the four people who had spoken earlier suddenly stood up and walked out of the restaurant at the same time.
Fang Xiaonuan followed behind Ji Lingchen. She said, “See for yourself. That’s who I am. With me around, your family will not be peaceful.”
“I really didn’t expect you to dare to speak up.” Ji Lingchen stopped in his tracks and turned around to say.
“That means you’re not ready to move out, right?” Fang Xiaonuan was about to explode from anger. She had deliberately said such outrageous words today to get Ji Lingchen to move out of the mansion with her. She did not expect this guy to be so stubborn.
“That’s right. Anyway, you’re the one who’s angry at them, not me.” Ji Lingchen smiled wickedly. Then, he left the house and got into the car to go to work.
It was over. She had offended everyone. Fang Xiaonuan clearly understood this. She returned to the bedroom and locked the door tightly. She sat on the sofa dejectedly.
The more Fang Xiaonuan thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. She missed home. If her parents knew about her experience in the Ji family, they would definitely take her away without hesitation. She had not eaten anything last night. This morning, she was even more hungry. Fang Xiaonuan’s tears streamed down her face.
……
The hungrier Fang Xiaonuan felt, the more aggrieved she felt. Ji Lingchen’s meaning was clear enough. He would not take Fang Xiaonuan away from the Ji family’s residence.
Fang Xiaonuan thought that she should not offend the Ji family again. She had not meant to infuse so much venom in her tone this morning to argue with Feng Qi. Instead, she wanted to make Ji Lingchen feel that she was capable of offending someone that much. That way, he would move out with her as soon as possible. But unexpectedly, she had offended Ji Kangde and Old Master Ji. Her goal had not been achieved yet.
‘I’ll stay for another ten days or so, then I’ll find an excuse to go back to school. I better act more obedient in the coming days!’ Fang Xiaonuan thought to herself.
Thus, for the next few days, Fang Xiaonuan barely left the bedroom. She tried her best to hide from all the Ji family members. She thought that she could continue hiding like this, but Feng Qi had humiliated her parents.
On this day, Fang Xiaonuan’s father and mother were worried that their daughter would be treated poorly in the Ji family’s home, so they wanted to visit their daughter. Before they came, they had bought expensive gifts. It was their first time visiting, so Fang Xiaonuan’s mother was a little embarrassed. She was worried that her words and actions would affect her daughter’s situation in the Ji family. Feng Qi saw this and scoffed at her.
Feng Qi received the two guests as the matriarch of the Ji family. When she saw the gifts they brought, she immediately expressed her distaste for them. Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang wanted to see their daughter, so Feng Qi asked the servants to go upstairs and call Fang Xiaonuan down. However, Fang Xiaonuan was not called down. Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang stood up and left without saying a word.
Fang Xiaonuan only found out that her parents had just come when she went downstairs and saw Feng Qi stepping on the gifts that her parents had sent. Fang Xiaonuan stood behind Feng Qi and asked, “Who sent these?”
Feng Qi snorted. “Hmph! They’re as cheap as you are. Only your parents would give these sort of gifts. I just chased them away.”
