Chapter 222 Sowing Discord? She threw down her chopsticks.

Xia Yuhuan noticed Chi Yanzhou's unusual behavior.

She asked, "What are you looking at?"

As she spoke, she tried to follow his gaze.

Chi Yanzhou reached out and grabbed her.

"That cake tasted good, I want more, Ayu, can you feed me?"

Hearing this, Xia Yuhuan had no choice but to give up and feed him cake instead.

When Chi Yanzhou was being obedient, she could never bear to refuse his requests.

The two were deeply in love when someone rushed over to find them.

"Yanzhou, Yanzhou's wife, the banquet is about to begin. My father wants you to sit at the head table," the person said.

He is Chi Rui-de's eldest son, named Chi Zheng.

"We don't need to sit at the main table, right? We can just find a table nearby," Chi Yanzhou refused.

"No, that won't do. My dad said that since you're already here, we can't be negligent. He told me to make sure you sit at the head table," Chi Zheng hurriedly said.

"If you don't come with me, my dad will come to invite you in person later. Wouldn't that cause an even bigger commotion?"

Chi Yanzhou frowned.

Xia Yuhuan said, "Then I'll trouble you to lead the way."

Chi Zheng: "Hey, no trouble at all, just follow me."

He led the way, and Xia Yuhuan pushed Chi Yanzhou to follow in her footsteps.

"Don't be angry. What's done is done. We're already here, so let's just adapt to the situation. Who cares?" Xia Yuhuan whispered in Chi Yanzhou's ear.

Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly in response.

Soon, the two arrived at the main table.

Chi Shaokang and Old Master Chi sat on either side of Chi Ruide.

Upon seeing Chi Yanzhou arrive, Chi Shaokang said indifferently, "There's really no need for all this trouble. Just call him over here and let him find a place to sit wherever he likes."

Chi Rui De said with a smile, "That won't do. I won't say anything if the person hasn't come yet, but since they have, they must sit at the head table."

"Moreover, after Yanzhou woke up, we didn't hold a banquet for you to celebrate your recovery. Today happens to be my sixtieth birthday, so we'll celebrate it for you as well."

Chi Yanzhou said calmly, "Uncle, you flatter me. My awakening is just a small matter, not as important as your sixtieth birthday banquet. I am a junior and cannot bear such a responsibility."

"Alright, you two stop chatting here. It's time, everyone's hungry, let's eat something." Old Master Chi said from the side.

Upon hearing this, Chi Ruide immediately smiled and agreed, then quickly invited everyone to eat together.

Chi Yanzhou and Xia Yuhuan had eaten something earlier to fill their stomachs, so they weren't very hungry at the moment and just picked at whatever they could find to eat.

Xia Yuhuan was more interested in food and drink than Chi Yanzhou.

Basically, she would take a bite of any dish that was turned to her.

If you like her, you'll take a few more bites; if you don't like her, you usually won't take a second bite after just one.

Chi Yanzhou noticed that she liked one of the dishes. When she tried to pick up the dish, it was turned away, so he quietly turned it back to her.

Xia Yuhuan was feeling down when she saw the dishes return, and she was overjoyed. She quickly reached for the dishes with her chopsticks.

After Chi Yanzhou waited until she had eaten her fill and buried herself in her food, he let go of her.

"Xiao Huan, why didn't you bring Xiao Jie today?" Li Cuiwei asked.

Xia Yuhuan was enjoying her meal when she heard Li Cuiwei speak. Her mouth was bulging, and she didn't have time to reply.

Chi Yanzhou, who was standing next to her, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief and said calmly, "Eat slowly, there's no rush to go back, don't choke."

Li Cuiwei's expression stiffened upon hearing this, feeling as if Chi Yanzhou was deliberately targeting her.

Xia Yuhuan smiled at Chi Yanzhou, quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, and then spoke.

"Thank you for your concern, Auntie. Xiao Jie wasn't feeling well today and said he wanted to rest early, so I didn't bring him along."

Upon hearing this, Li Cuiwei responded with an "Oh," and then said, "I see."

She then said, "Yanzhou, you don't know, Xiao Huan was so good to Xiao Jie when you were unconscious. You made the right choice in marrying her. With her, Xiao Jie will definitely not be bullied by his stepmother."

"But now that you're awake, you should start thinking about having a baby."

“Your accident really scared us. Your mother has been crying every day, she looks like a baby.”

"Your job is so dangerous, you should leave an heir for your family as soon as possible, so that your parents will have something to look forward to, in case something happens and there is no one to carry on the family line."

Li Cuiwei spoke earnestly, offering her advice.

Although these words were unpleasant to hear, they were well-intentioned advice, so others really couldn't say anything to Li Cuiwei.

But what she said next made Xia Yuhuan very unhappy.

Li Cuiwei said, "But what will happen to Xiao Jie if you and Xiao Huan have a child?"

“Xiao Jie is adopted, so he’s someone else’s child. No matter how good we are to him, he’ll definitely want to go back home when he grows up.”

"Raising someone else's child is definitely not as fulfilling as raising your own."

"You guys..."

Xia Yuhuan slammed her chopsticks on the table with a loud bang.

Everyone at the table turned to look at her, and the room fell into a deathly silence.

"There's no need for Second Aunt to worry about that. Xiao Jie is my and Yan Zhou's child, and we will raise him well."

"Regardless of whether we have children of our own in the future, Xiao Jie will always be the eldest son in our family, and his status as the eldest son will never change."

"You worry so much about your family, but I've never seen you put that same effort into your own home."

"If only Second Aunt had put the same care she had for us into your Wenhong, she wouldn't have been raised so badly, wouldn't you say, Second Aunt?"

When Xia Yuhuan started to criticize, she didn't give anyone any face, which made Li Cuiwei's face turn dark.

Li Cuiwei's targeting of Xia Yuhuan stems from a past grudge.

Especially the last time, Xia Yuhuan actually made her hit Chi Wenhong herself, which made her resentful even more.

Seeing that Chi Yanzhou and Xia Yuhuan were both present today, I wanted to use He Xiaojie as a starting point to bring up the topic of having and raising children, so as to make the two of them unhappy.

As the saying goes, with a stepmother comes a stepfather, not to mention that He Xiaojie was not Chi Yanzhou's biological child, but adopted.

Don't be fooled by Xia Yuhuan's current kindness towards He Xiaojie. Once she has her own child, she will definitely shower all her affection on her child. What place will He Xiaojie have then?

Since Chi Yanzhou adopted He Xiaojie, he must be responsible for him. If Xia Yuhuan treats He Xiaojie badly, Chi Yanzhou will definitely be unhappy.

She's planting a seed of conflict, hoping that it might make future arguments about the child even more unpleasant.

But she didn't expect that Xia Yuhuan would disregard the presence of so many elders and throw her chopsticks at her.

This caught Li Cuiwei off guard, and her expression turned ugly.
