Chapter 78 Just Call Me Sister Xu Xian

Listening to her pretentious voice, not only Wen Tingyun felt uncomfortable, but Zhai Jin was even more jealous to the point of madness. She clenched her palms tightly, trying not to show any trace of anger.

Wen Tingyun was so angry that her face turned blue and her eyes were sparking. She couldn't say that there was something wrong with her own son.

Seeing that she didn't move, Zhai Jin could only smile awkwardly and said, "It's so boring to stay at home for so long! Nowadays, society advocates for independent women in the new era. Women still need to have a career to be respected by everyone."

"It's not enough to rely on men. We girls also need to have our own personal charm."

The implication is that Xu Xian's current life as a canary, just being a personal secretary, has no ambition at all, and will only be looked down upon by outsiders.

Xu Xian rolled his eyes in his heart.

She pretends to be a liar and doesn't even look at who she is facing.

Then, she curled her red lips and said with a half-smile, "Ms. Zhai's words make a lot of sense! But I can't compare to Ms. Zhai, who has a father who is a chairman. My original family was broken, and I couldn't afford to study abroad. After graduation, I returned home to work for my family's company."

"But God has been kind to me, letting me meet Shi Bai."

After saying that, Xu Xian pretended to squeeze out a few tears, took a tissue and wiped the corners of her eyes which were tearless. Her gentle temperament made her look pitiful.

Zhai Jin relies on her father, and she relies on her husband, there is nothing wrong with that.

Wen Tingyun didn't understand what Xu Xian meant. Seeing Xu Xian suddenly crying, he was a little at a loss and slightly dazed.

Although she didn't like Xu Xian, she only made a few sarcastic remarks and didn't really want to do anything to her.

Xu Xian was frank about her family situation, which made Zhai Jin a little confused. She had always thought that someone like Xu Xian, who would do anything to get ahead in society, must have a strong sense of self-esteem.

She couldn't mention the current situation of her family at all. She originally wanted to mention these things to hurt her, but she didn't expect that she didn't care at all.

What's more, what she meant was that Zhai Jin's current successful career was entirely due to her good fortune.

Xu Xian: How much is self-esteem worth?

Seeing her wiping her eyes non-stop and her shoulders shaking slightly, Wen Tingyun spoke hesitantly, his tone a little stiff, "Don't cry, or Shi Bai will hear about it and say that I bullied you."

She knew Shi Bai's personality and was extremely protective of his people. If he knew that she had made Xu Xian cry today, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Oh! Then I won't cry." Xu Xian took the opportunity to back down. After spending several times with Wen Tingyun, she knew that although she had a sharp tongue, she had a soft heart and did not actually have any particular ill intentions.

There are so many people in the world who don't like her, and she won't lose any meat.

Just treat it as a teasing to her.

The speed at which his expression changed left the two people present speechless.

Especially Wen Tingyun realized that she had been deceived, but she could only swallow her anger.

Seeing that the two of them didn't follow up, Xu Xian was too lazy to deal with it anymore and said straight to the point: "Auntie, what are you doing here today? If you have nothing else, I'll go upstairs first. I haven't had enough beauty sleep yet!"

She yawned gracefully, covering her mouth with her hands. Her body was slouched, and she looked like a boneless person, and she was spoiled.

Having said that, her butt didn't move at all.

She was simply curious. How did the two of them know that she was resting at home today, and why did Wen Tingyun bring Zhai Jin to her house?

As expected, Wen Tingyun seemed to have a small handle on her and raised his chin and said, "This is my son's house. I can come whenever I want. Do I need to let you know?"

"Of course not." Xu Xian said indifferently.

She was not a vicious daughter-in-law, so she would not forbid Wen Tingyun from appearing in Repulse Bay, provided that he did not disturb her life and rhythm.

Zhai Jin's eyes flickered when he heard Xu Xian addressing Aunt Jiang.

She didn't know whether to say Xu Xian was smart or stupid.

Aunt Jiang is Brother Shi Bai's biological mother. She didn't respect Aunt Jiang in her words, but she wasn't afraid that Brother Shi Bai would feel uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Zhai Jinrou explained softly, "Miss Xu, don't be angry with Aunt Jiang. This is all my fault. I just returned to China and was catching up with Aunt Jiang at home. We talked about how we met in Japan some time ago. It happened to be almost time to get off work, so Aunt Jiang said she would bring me here to introduce myself so we can visit often in the future."

"We didn't inform you in advance. It's all my fault. I caused you trouble. Don't worry, there will definitely not be a next time."

She lowered her posture and escalated a simple matter into a conflict, and everything between the lines was her own fault.

But every word was poking at Xu Xian's ambivalence, making her seem unreasonable and calling politeness rude.

She deliberately asked her out today on the pretext of having just returned to China to give Aunt Jiang a gift. She casually mentioned that she and Brother Shi Bai had met once in Japan, and calmly mentioned the business between the two families.

Aunt Jiang had no doubts at all. Thinking that the two families would have frequent interactions in the future, especially the younger generations would need to keep in touch, she brought her to Repulse Bay.

When they heard the nanny say Xu Xian was resting at home, they were both surprised. They thought they would have to wait until the young couple got off work.

Wen Tingyun's originally calm expression changed slightly, and he looked at Xu Xian unkindly.

I didn't expect Xu Xian to be so petty. As her mother-in-law, does she have to inform her when she brings guests home?

"Xu Xian, you—"

Before she finished her words, Xu Xian interrupted her with a smile, his face gentle but his eyes staring at Zhai Jin without a smile.

"Miss Zhai, there's no need for us to be distant. I don't mean to unwelcome you at all. On the contrary, you've always been polite to me! You've been calling me Miss Xu since we met. How awkward!"

"I remember you called me brother, so how about this, you can just call me Sister Xu Xian."

After she finished speaking, she leaned over, picked up the water glass, and drank several sips gracefully. She had talked too much and her mouth was dry.

A few words diverted Wen Tingyun's thoughts.

Her interruption made Wen Tingyun completely forget what he had just thought. Instead, he agreed with Xu Xian, "That makes sense. Jinjin, you should spend more time with your brother Shibai in the future. We should be more open with each other."

Although she didn't like Xu Xian and didn't want to acknowledge her as her daughter-in-law, she knew that she couldn't change anything.

At this time, asking Zhai Jin to call Xu Xian more intimately was nothing more than a superficial effort to make the two families visit each other more frequently, so that Shi Bai would not have any opinions about it and develop a prejudice against Zhai Jin.

Zhai Jin's face froze, the nails on his palm moved slightly, and the protruding bones on the back of his hand turned white.

She always called Xu Xian "Miss Xu" because she didn't want to admit that she was Brother Shi Bai's wife.

But now not only has Aunt Jiang turned against her, but she has also put her in a dilemma.

How could she be willing to call a love rival "sister"!
