Chapter 103 The Qin Family's Indifference and Scrutiny!

"We, the Qin family, do not need to rely on a woman to gain fame through such sensationalism!"

Qin Weijun's words were like a heavy stone slamming onto the dining table.

The lively atmosphere from just moments ago vanished instantly.

Everyone stopped eating and looked cautiously at the old man in the main seat, not daring to breathe.

Song Liyun and Liu Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing gloating smiles.

They knew that the old man would never accept such a "mysterious" granddaughter-in-law.

Attention-seeking?

To gain fame?

Qin Lie's blood rushed to his head instantly.

He suddenly stood up, the chair scraping against the floor with a screeching sound.

"Dad! How could you say such things about Xiaowu?!" His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at his father. "She saved my life! She's a benefactor to our whole family! Instead of being grateful to her, how can you insult her with such words?!"

"Sit down!" Qin Weijun slammed his chopsticks down on the table with a loud "crack!" "Do you even have the right to speak here?!"

"Old Qin! Why are you taking your anger out on the child!" Zhong Tinglan was also anxious. She stood up and stood in front of Qin Lie. "Ah Lie is right! What you said today was too hurtful! Xiao Wu, she..."

"Shut up!" Qin Weijun pointed at Zhong Tinglan, his hands trembling with anger. "It's all your fault! It's all because you spoiled him like this! Look at the state he's in now! For a woman, he dared to slam his fist on the table at his own father! He's gone too far! He's really gone too far!"

A heartwarming welcome dinner turned into a family war.

The relatives were all silent, wishing they could shrink into a ball.

At the heart of this storm, Jiang Wu remained calmly seated.

She even had the leisure to pick up a spoon and slowly take a sip of the chicken soup in front of her.

She raised her head, her gaze passing over the arguing crowd, and looked directly at the enraged old man.

"dad."

She called out softly.

Her voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to possess a peculiar magic, instantly silencing the entire noisy restaurant.

All eyes were on her.

“You said that the Qin family doesn’t need to rely on women.” Jiang Wu put down her spoon, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and moved with the elegance of someone attending a high-class banquet.

"I agree with that statement."

“But,” she changed the subject, her eyes sharpening.

"Have you ever thought about where your son Qin Lie would be now if it weren't for a 'attention-seeking' woman like me?"

"He may already be a cold corpse lying at the bottom of the East China Sea."

"What you see now is not a son returning home in glory and being promoted to deputy division commander, but an urn covered with a red flag."

"Your proud Qin family certainly doesn't need me to gain fame. But at that time, what you gained was the sympathy and pity of the entire military region."

"Do you think the 'jokes' of today are more appealing, or the 'condolences' of that time better reflected the prestige of the Qin family?"

Every word she uttered was like a sharp knife, devoid of any emotion, yet cutting to the bone.

It directly hits Qin Weijun's seemingly tough but actually fragile self-esteem.

Qin Weijun's face instantly turned a deep liver color.

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

Because what Jiang Wu said was true.

It was a bloody truth, one he dared not think about, yet had to admit.

The entire restaurant was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Song Liyun, Liu Yan, and the others were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped.

They never imagined that this seemingly quiet country woman would dare to speak to the old man like that in front of everyone!

Has she gone mad?!

Qin Lie was also stunned.

Looking at his seemingly delicate but actually fierce wife, he felt an overwhelming sense of admiration and pride.

No wonder she's Qin Lie's wife!

That's how tough I am!

"You...you..." Qin Weijun pointed at Jiang Wu, stammering for a long time before finally letting out a furious roar, "You sharp-tongued woman! You really...you really have no manners!"

"Dad, whether I have good manners or not is none of your business." Jiang Wu slowly stood up and handed her quiet daughter, Qin Zhao, to Qin Lie beside her.

"I only know that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. If someone saves your life, even if you are not grateful, you should at least shut your mouth."

“I saved your son. I don’t expect your Qin family to treat me like a saint, but at the very least, you should give me the most basic respect.”

"Instead of what they do now, walking in the door and adopting a judgmental stance, criticizing and accusing me."

"To put it bluntly," Jiang Wu's gaze swept coldly over every Qin family relative present.

"You are not qualified."

Impressive!

Arrogant!

Yet it's something that leaves no room for argument!

Everyone in the Qin family was stunned into silence by her words.

They had never seen a woman like this before.

I never imagined that anyone would dare to say such things to the patriarch of the Qin family on Qin family territory.

"Good! Good! Good!" Qin Weijun exclaimed three times in a row, then slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"I, Qin Weijun, have spent my entire life on the battlefield, and I still can't handle you!"

“From today onwards, you…”

He was about to give some order.

"Wow--"

A loud baby's cry broke the tense atmosphere without warning.

Qin Zhan, who had been held peacefully in Jiang Wu's arms, suddenly burst into tears.

The crying was loud and clear, filled with grievance.

It was as if she was speaking out for her mother.

The sudden crying stunned everyone.

This also interrupted Qin Weijun's harsh words that were about to spill out.

Everyone's eyes instinctively turned to the baby whose face was red from crying.

Qin Weijun was also stunned.

He looked at the woman who was swaggering in front of him, and then at his own grandson who was crying his heart out.

For a moment, I didn't know what to do.

His burning anger seemed to be extinguished by this cry, which seemed to dampen half of it.

In this eerie silence.

Qin Weijun suddenly lifted his foot and walked towards the stroller.

Everyone's heart was in their throat.

What does he want to do?

Is he going to take his anger out on the child because he's angry with Jiang Wu?
