I also understand that my grandmother was just afraid of putting me in a difficult position, since it was my husband's family.

But she would never let anyone or anything cause her family distress!

Grandma was touched. Her daughter had always valued them, the elders, so how could she not love her?

She patted her hand and said, "Just stay put. It's just a few meaningless words. I'll just ignore them."

Bai Yajing frowned deeply; she wasn't going to let this go so easily! "Suffering a loss is a blessing?" Pshaw! That's just something incompetent people say to comfort themselves!

If you have a grudge, settle it on the spot; that way you won't have trouble sleeping at night.

Just then, both children finished their milk, and after she dried herself off and got dressed, she handed the children over to her grandmother.

"Grandma, please help me put my two little darlings to sleep. I'm going out for a bit."

Grandma knew what she was going to do at a glance. She wanted to stop her, but then she thought that her child had never suffered a loss or been humiliated in her life, and she was afraid that she would really upset her.

She simply waved her off, but as she opened the door, she couldn't help but add, "Nannan, they may have sharp tongues, but they don't deserve to die. Be careful."

Bai Yajing waved her hand behind her to indicate that she understood.

She opened the door and went into the bustling main hall with a faint smile.

"Mom and Dad, we have guests at home? Why didn't you tell me? I could have come out to greet them."

She gave the two elders a reproachful look, knowing that although they had lived to this age, they were still very simple and sincere, and she couldn't be bothered to argue with them.

When Xiao's parents saw her come out, they quickly waved and smiled, "Ya Jing, come and sit down. Oh, we didn't expect Xiao Jiao and her mother to come back from the countryside."

Bai Yajing understood immediately; they had come without prior notice.

She nodded and greeted the two people sitting on the sofa with a graceful demeanor.

"Hello, I am Bai Yajing, Xiao Che's wife."

The two people sitting on the sofa were stunned. Wasn't Xiao Che's wife supposed to be a country bumpkin?

How could she be so beautiful, so otherworldly? And you could tell from her speech and every gesture that she was well-mannered.

The two men, who had been so arrogant since her appearance, immediately became dejected.

Mrs. Deng nodded stiffly, "Hehe, okay, hello. Oh, we're from your grandfather's subordinate's family, and also good friends of your parents. We were taking care of the elderly in the countryside with our children before."

"That's why I came to visit my friend as soon as I got back."

The girl beside her didn't have her composure; her beautiful face was full of disgust.

Hmph, if it weren't for her grandmother's illness, which she and her mother took care of in the countryside for a year or two, this woman wouldn't have been able to become A-Che's wife at all!

She and Brother A-Che were childhood sweethearts, and their parents had long since approved of their marriage. If she hadn't been too young before, and then the Xiao family had another accident, they would have been married long ago! It was all because of this hateful woman who interfered!

It's all her fault!

Her mother nudged her daughter, who couldn't keep a secret, with her elbow, signaling her to greet them and not be outdone.

She rolled her eyes slightly, looking unconvinced.

"Hello, I am Deng Jiao. I grew up with Brother A-Che. When we were little, we were in the army camp. The adults were always busy, so Brother A-Che took care of me."

As she said this, her face was full of pride and satisfaction.

Bai Yajing's eyes darkened. Xiao Che hadn't told her about such a person, so there was only one possibility: in his eyes, this person was unimportant.

Thinking about this, she felt that the woman in front of her was being incredibly pretentious, subtly and overtly displaying her relationship with Xiao Che, and, well, it all seemed utterly ridiculous…

She did smile.
