Sweet Beauty

Chapter 998: She Had Lost All Her Face

Yu Meilin pursed her lips in disgust.     

Jiang Huifang, however, was still not angry. She was still smiling. When she saw Wei Xiaoqing had almost finished peeling the apple, her eyes lit up, and she walked over with big steps.     

Just as Wei Xiaoqing was about to eat the apple, Jiang Huifang snatched it from her hand and took a big bite.     

Wei Xiaoqing: “….”     

The Hou Family didn’t care about her and her birth mother didn’t care about her either?     

“Mom!” Wei Xiaoqing immediately shouted angrily, “How can you eat the apple that was peeled by a pregnant woman? Don’t you feel ashamed?”     

The deafening roar was clearly meant for the Hou Family to hear.     

But the people of the Hou Family were expressionless and pretended not to understand what she meant.     

Jiang Huifang took another bite of the apple and looked at Wei Xiaoqing blankly. “I ate an apple that you peeled, what should I be ashamed of?”     

Wei Xiaoqing was so angry and really didn’t know what to say anymore.     

Wei Xiaoqing felt that Jiang Huifang was sometimes like a retard. She didn’t understand what people were saying at all.     

Wei Xiaoqing sat there sulking. She didn’t want to eat anymore even though she was hungry.     

She was so angry until she was full.     

Jiang Huifang pretended not to notice Wei Xiaoqing’s expression. She just sat down next to her without caring. After eating the apple, she ate the candies. After eating the candies, she ate the dried fruits.     

This attracted Yu Meilin’s attention and she looked at her from time to time. She muttered disdainfully. “It was as if you had never eaten anything in your eight lives. Did you come to our house to satisfy your hunger?”     

Jiang Huifang heard Yu Meilin’s words, but she wasn’t angry. She even laughed and put the dried fruits in her mouth. “Hahaha. I woke up too early this morning and didn’t have time to eat breakfast.”     

Wei Xiaoqing also looked at Jiang Huifang and felt embarrassed.     

Because of her, she had lost all her face!     

If she knew that Jiang Huifang would be like this, she wouldn’t agree to let her come here to celebrate the New Year!     

They were sitting in the living room. Apart from Yu Meilin, who cursed at Jiang Huifang, no one else said anything.     

Wei Xiaoqing was very angry and didn’t want to talk.     

Jiang Huifang saw that no one cared about her and could not find anything to say.     

They sat for a while and the housekeeper came out saying respectfully. “Sir, madam, the food is ready. Shall we start eating now?”     

When Jiang Huifang heard this, she immediately stood up. She ran towards the dining room with enthusiasm. “Aiya, it’s time to eat. Time to eat!”

Yu Meilin looked at Jiang Huifang’s happy back and angrily turned to Wei Xiaoqing. “Is your mother the reincarnation of a hungry ghost? Did she come to my house to freeload?”         

Not to mention Yu Meilin, even Wei Xiaoqing, herself, did not like Jiang Huifang’s behavior.     

She was very embarrassed.     

In the dining room, Jiang Huifang continued to chatter about her own life.     

Hou Shihong’s expression was always gloomy. Hou Yingyi was also eating while playing with his phone. Yu Meilin lowered her head and cursed Jiang Huifang ten thousand times in her heart. Hou Zexian even more so. He was as usual, not talking much and thinking more about himself. He ate a few bites and then went upstairs.     

Meanwhile, Jiang Huifang still didn’t know her own limits. She still didn’t stop talking.     

“Mom!” Wei Xiaoqing finally got impatient, “No one likes to listen to your stupid things. Can you shut up? I can’t even eat in peace, and I’m losing my appetite!”     

“Why are you losing your appetite?” Jiang Huifang pursed her lips in displeasure. “You’re pregnant, so you must eat a lot. Look at your in-laws, they’re eating quite happily!”     

Hou Shihong: “….”     

Yu Meilin: “….”     

It was said that the New Year was a family reunion. It was the happiest day of the year, but their family was filled with all kinds of demons and devils. The more they saw the sight before them, the more they hated it.     

Hou Shihong didn’t even drink a drop of water. After he finished eating, he put down his chopsticks and left.     

When Hou Yingyi saw that, he also immediately put down his chopsticks and wanted to follow his father out.     

“Yingyi!” But Jiang Huifang had other plans. She called him from behind.     

Hou Yingyi impatiently turned to her and put his hand in his pocket. He asked in an unfriendly tone. “What?”     

Jiang Huifang acted as if she couldn’t hear Hou Yingyi’s annoyance. She smiled at him with her heavily powdered face and said, “It’s a New Year. Can you give me more living expenses for this month?”     

Hou Yingyi really didn’t want to look at her face.     

An old and wrinkled woman trying to act cute. Who wanted to see that?     

Hou Yingyi shook his head. He didn’t feel like dealing with Jiang Huifang anymore. He took out his wallet and looked at the cash inside. He didn’t count it and threw it all in front of Jiang Huifang.     

Jiang Huifang excitedly took the money and counted it. It wasn’t a small amount. It was thousands!     

It was enough for her to buy a piece of clothing.     

The more Wei Xiaoqing looked at Jiang Huifang, the more irritated she became.     

Jiang Huifang was like a beggar. Every time she came to the Hou Family’s villa to ask for money, she would put on a licking face.     

Wei Xiaoqing slammed her chopsticks on the table and got up to leave.     

Jiang Huifang put the money in her wallet and asked, “Xiaoqing, are you done?”     

Wei Xiaoqing left the dining room and didn’t look back. “I’m full!”         

Jiang Huifang put her bag aside and looked at Wei Xiaoqing’s back while asking Yu Meilin, “In-law, is Xiaoqing’s appetite in this period of time not very good?”     

Yu Meilin frowned and put the bowl in her hand on the table. “What are you trying to say?”     

Jiang Huifang was immediately stunned when she saw Yu Meilin’s frowning face. “I… I didn’t mean anything…”     

Yu Meilin looked at her and she felt that Wei Xiaoqing had been living well here.     

So what did Jiang Huifang mean by asking this question?     

“Jiang Huifang, just say what you want to say. Don’t beat around the bush in front of me. Let me tell you, with me here, whatever Wei Xiaoqing wants to eat, I would cook for her. And you accuse me of treating a pregnant woman unfairly?”     

“I really didn’t mean that!”
