After a long while, Fu Xiuyu smiled faintly, turned to look at Jiang Can, and gently took her small hand.

"Where are you thinner? I think you look perfect!"

Sun Meifen was stunned.

Looking at Jiang Can, Fu Xiuyu didn't seem to be criticizing her like other mothers-in-law would when looking at their daughters-in-law; instead, she looked like a loving mother looking at her own daughter.

"Why be so fat? A big belly will make childbirth painful and difficult, and it'll be hard to recover afterwards! Our Cancan is just right; she'll be as beautiful as before after giving birth!"

Sun Meifen realized that something was wrong.

What's going on? They just said "exercise," didn't they? Fu Xiuyu...

"Big sister," Sun Meifen said with a smile, "Big sister is right, you shouldn't be too fat, so you can recover better after giving birth! Hehehe, actually I think Cancan is very pretty now, otherwise how could your Zhixing not even be able to leave the house?"

“Isn’t it natural for a couple to have a good relationship?” Fu Xiuyu shot her a sharp look.

Sun Meifen's heart skipped a beat, and she froze on the spot.

"What's the meaning behind your sister-in-law's constant talk about these things?" Fu Xiuyu sneered. "What, can't stand seeing the young couple having a good relationship? Or are you standing up for someone?"

“You…” Sun Meifen’s eyes widened.

Fu Xiuyu rolled her eyes at her.

She knew exactly what kind of guts this mother and daughter were!

Before Huo Zhixing met Jiang Can, Fu Qingyan would put on a show every time he returned to England, coaxing him with all sorts of seductive poses.

Because the Huo family still had Yao Manning at that time, Fu Qingyan didn't dare to be too blatant.

Moreover, Fu Xiuyu trusted her son's composure and simply pretended not to see it.

But now that their son is married and their child is about to be born, how dare that mother and daughter still try to make a move on him?!

This is truly intolerable!

Fu Xiuyu snorted softly, raised her hand to protect Jiang Can behind her, her ambiguous smile revealing endless coldness.

"Sister-in-law, since we've come this far, I'll make things clear to you!"

"I'm happy that my son and daughter-in-law have a good relationship. However, you can't just slander our Cancan's reputation like that!"

“Sister-in-law,” Fu Xiuyu glared at her, emphasizing each word, “how do you know what my son and daughter-in-law are doing at home?”

Suddenly, Sun Meifen's expression changed.

"Ha, did you perhaps install some kind of camera in my son's house to monitor his every move?"

Fu Xiuyu deliberately spoke loudly, attracting sidelong glances from those around her.

Everyone was well aware of the conflict between the two of them, and regardless of who was right or wrong, people just watched with amusement.

"No way? Hiding a pinhole camera in someone's house?"

"I don't think so, Meifen isn't that kind of person..."

"Hey, could it be that Princess Chang could have wronged her? Ha, the quietest dog is the one that bites the hardest!"

The crowd whispered among themselves, and both the unpleasant and the pleasant words reached Sun Meifen's ears.

She always presented herself as a virtuous wife and loving mother, so she couldn't stand this and immediately protested, "Sister, how can you say that! When did I spy on them? I... I was only doing it for Can Can's baby! She really can't..."

"Can't what?" Jiang Can's voice wasn't loud, but it was full of force. "Aunt, please explain yourself clearly. What shameful thing have I done?"

“Mom!” Jiang Can said seriously, turning to Fu Xiuyu. “I know that you need to be extra careful when you’re pregnant, but can’t I even do prenatal yoga at home? Zhixing was just worried that I would bump into something, so he stayed by my side and helped me with the exercises… It’s just an exercise, why is it being made to sound so terrible?”

Sun Meifen was stunned, her face flushing red and then turning pale.

Jiang Can wasn't about to give up. Since she had already offended someone, she might as well go all the way.

She glanced at Fu Xiuyu and said softly, "Mom, I don't think this family welcomes me very much... Rather than being gossiped about here, I'd rather go back to my parents' home!"

Fu Xiuyu rolled her eyes, secretly pleased.

When did this young wife learn her true skills and become adept at using retreat as a strategy?

Since that's the case, she can't let her daughter-in-law's efforts go to waste!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law exchanged glances and immediately understood what was about to happen.

But before Fu Xiuyu could get into character, a deep voice came: "Who wants to go back to their parents' home?"

Jiang Can was taken aback.

The surroundings immediately fell silent, and an invisible sense of oppression enveloped the area above.

The crowd parted automatically to make way for Old Master Fu, who walked slowly forward. His hair was gray, and he wore a gray plaid suit with a British-style top hat. Although he was already in his seventies, the arrogance and prestige he exuded could still awe the entire audience.

Jiang Can felt a little flustered and lowered her eyes slightly.

Sun Meifen hurried forward. She had just been worrying about how to turn the tide, but now, the old man was here!

"Oh, Dad!" Sun Meifen called out warmly, "Don't blame Cancan! Young people are so immature, making a fuss about going back to their parents' home over such a small thing. I've been there too, I understand how that feels!"

"Today is a special day to welcome my eldest sister back, Dad, you absolutely mustn't be angry!"

Fu Xiuyu glared at her, thinking, "She's really good at playing the victim!"

She was about to say something when she saw Old Master Fu smile slightly. "What, do I look angry?"

"……dad?"

The old man walked towards Jiang Can, smiled kindly, and patted her head.

"Also, when did I ever say I was going to blame CanCan, huh?"

Jiang Can looked up and met her grandfather's kind gaze. The old man didn't blame her; instead, he straightened his back and stood in front of her, coughed heavily, looked at everyone, and finally fixed his gaze on Sun Meifen.
