Chapter 9: You're a Waste, Just Quit

"Mom, Dad, sister, I'm here." In front of them, Lu Yanshen maintained the most basic courtesy as the son-in-law of the Xie family.

Unlike Xie Wantang, she didn't call Madam Lu "Mom", but instead called her "my dear mother-in-law" with great irony in every word.

"Yan Shen, where did you find this girl?" Xie's father felt both grateful and guilty towards Lu Yan Shen.

She was grateful that he had rushed back from abroad just for Xie Wantang, the trouble-making girl. But she felt guilty that he was still calm towards her family members and did not take his anger out on them because of Xie Wantang's ignorance.

"My dear relatives, where we find the item is not the important point. Tangtang's safety is the most important thing." Old Madam Lu stood on Xie Wantang's side. She stood up and protected Xie Wantang.

"Yes, yes, yes." Father Xie nodded with a smile. Since the old lady had spoken, he naturally agreed with a smile on his face.

Xie's mother is very dissatisfied with Xie Wantang.

Letting her marry Lu Yanshen would mean she was marrying above her station in the Xie family.

Before we got married, I told her that the city of Beijing was different from their Shanghai, and the wealthy circle was even more divided into different classes.

The Lu family is at the top of the wealthy circle, and their Xie family is just at the bottom of the wealthy circle.

She was able to marry into the Lu family thanks to her good grandmother, who had accidentally saved Old Madam Lu's life by chance. Old Madam Lu was grateful and, upon learning that she had two granddaughters, gave her grandmother a token of love.

In this way, the two old people made a verbal agreement to become in-laws with their children and grandchildren.

Otherwise, no matter how you rank them, their Xie family will never be ranked among the rich and powerful.

As a result, Xie Wantang didn't cherish her. Just because Lu Yanshen was busy and didn't rush back in time to celebrate her birthday with her, she started to make a fuss. In the end, she even disappeared and ran away from home. What's even worse is that she wanted to divorce Lu Yanshen?

I don't know what's going on in her broken head.

If Lu Yanshen hadn't refused, they would have let Xie Bailu be exchanged with her in the second year of their marriage.

She still wants a divorce?

Does she know how many women in Beijing are trying to succeed her?

"Let's eat first. If you have anything to say, we can talk while we eat." The old man of the Lu family spoke at the right time.

"Dad, it's like this. There are a few dishes left that Aunt Liu and the others aren't very good at, so I told them to leave them aside and wait for Wan Tang to come and cook them. Look, the dishes haven't been cooked yet. If we want to eat, Wan Tang might have to trouble her a little."

Mrs. Lu stood up and said that she didn't expect that Lu Yanshen also called Xie Wantang's parents.

Mr. Lu stared at his son.

Mrs. Lu was also feeling a little uneasy. She just wanted to make trouble for Xie Wantang and take the opportunity to teach her a lesson on behalf of her son, make her run away from home, make her disappear, and make everyone in chaos.

But she never expected that she would cause her husband to be blamed by her father-in-law.

"My dear mother-in-law, isn't Aunt Liu an elder in the family? I think I've only been married to the Lu family for more than three years. If Aunt Liu isn't good at cooking the dishes you like, I suggest you just fire her."

"What do you think?"

When Xie Wantang was named, she glanced at Aunt Liu, then looked at Madam Lu, and spoke very frankly.

"...What did you say?" Mrs. Lu was stunned. For a second, she thought she was hallucinating.

Shouldn't Xie Wantang stand up obediently and say to her in a nice way, "Okay, Mom, I'll go fry it right away. Can you wait a moment?"

As a result, Xie Wantang actually suggested that she fire Liu Ma?

Liu Ma is not only her confidante, but also the cook given to her as a dowry by her family when she married into the Lu family. She has been with her all her life.

What kind of bullshit suggestion is this from Xie Wantang?

The food cooked by Liu Ma is so delicious. She has been eating it all her life and is already used to it.

Also, it’s not that Liu Ma doesn’t know how to cook, she just said that in order to let Xie Wantang do it.

Would Xie Wantang not understand?

She looked at her intentionally.

But why did Xie Wantang do this?

How dare she do this?

"Grandma is really old. I'm standing so close to her, and her voice is quite loud. How about this, let Big Brother or Yan Shen help you make an appointment with an ENT doctor to check you out. Hearing loss can be a serious problem or a minor one."

“…”

Xie Wantang seriously suggested that she go for a check-up and hinted that she was old. Mrs. Lu was almost driven crazy by her.

But unfortunately, at this moment, she couldn't really lose her temper.

She had to maintain the dignity that she deserved as Mrs. Lu in front of the two elders and the Xie family.

Old Madam Lu laughed in her heart, thinking that Tangtang should have been like this a long time ago.

"Auntie Liu, can we still have dinner at home today?" Mr. Lu asked Auntie Liu with a cold face.

"Yes, old man." Aunt Liu replied tremblingly.

"Okay, let's serve the food."

"yes."

Mrs. Lu didn't say anything in the end and led Xie's mother to the restaurant.

Xie Wantang's sister-in-law came over to lead Xie Bailu.

In the living room, Lu Yanshen and Xie Wantang were soon left confronting each other.

The two were silent, communicating with each other through eye contact.

Xie Wantang: Lu Yanshen, what do you mean, you called them here?

Lu Yanshen: Don't you want a divorce? The two families were married off, so if you want a divorce now, it has to be discussed between the two families.

Xie Wantang: Call them over. This marriage must be divorced. They can't stop me.

Lu Yanshen: Then let’s go.

"Yan Shen, Tang Tang, come and have dinner." Mrs. Lu called.

"Here I come."

The two responded in unison, showing great tacit understanding.

Bah bah bah…

Xie Wantang spat silently three times.

At the dinner table, Mr. Lu sat in the first seat, with the old lady on his left, then Lu Wentao and his wife, followed by Lu Yanze and his wife, and finally Lu Yanshen.

On the right are Xie’s father, Xie’s mother, Xie Bailu, and the last one is Xie Wantang.

Xie Wantang and Lu Yanshen arrived late. When Xie Wantang sat down next to Xie Bailu, Xie Bailu looked at her and pursed her lips, indicating that she should look at her phone.

Xie Wantang took out her phone and saw a WeChat message from Xie Bailu: "Wantang, what's wrong with you? I heard you're divorcing Lu Yanshen?"

"Yes." Xie Wantang typed out a word.

Xie Bailu took a look and gasped in shock at her decisiveness.

How could she respond so decisively?

Doesn’t she love Lu Yanshen?

How could you bear to divorce and give up your position as Mrs. Lu?

Xie Bailu didn't understand.

Xie Wantang didn't need her to understand.

She loved Lu Yanshen, but she was not stupid enough to let Lu Yanshen betray her with his whole heart. She still loved him without regrets.

"Now that everyone is here, there is something I want to say before we start eating." Xie Wantang glanced at Lu Yanshen opposite her, and seeing that he was indifferent, Xie Wantang lightly bit the flesh beside her lip and stood up.

"Wantang, you are so rude. The old man and the old lady haven't said anything, and you stand up. What a shame!" Xie's mother scolded Xie Wantang angrily.

"Madam Xie, you only gave birth to me, but you didn't raise me. Three years ago, you went to Hai City to pick me up. I didn't get a penny of the betrothal gift they gave me. You have already taken all the benefits of giving birth to me."

"I'm not arguing with you, and you don't need to act like a mother and lecture me now."

"Xie Wantang, you--" Xie's mother was almost fainted by the retort.
