Ning Lan had no idea what Zhao Kailin had done. Seeing that Shuo Shuo was no longer holding her and just lowered his head, she comforted him twice: "Shuo Shuo, be good. Your aunt will buy you something delicious later. We will be obedient!"

Seeing Ning Lan being so gentle, a trace of hatred flashed in Zhao Kailin's eyes again, as if she saw how she treated Ning Xi and others when she was a child.

But she didn't show it. She just pulled Ning Lan's arm and said, "Mom, this time it was my brother-in-law who helped me. You must remember to thank him."

Her tone sounded as if she was on Ning Lan's side, and she had completely forgotten how unwilling she had felt in the mediation room just now.

Ning Lan, immersed in the filter of her daughter's sensibleness, didn't find it strange. She nodded and said, "You're right. I still have to thank him."

"Then remember to find time to invite them to dinner at home. Then I will apologize to my sister again and ask her to forgive my previous ignorance." Zhao Kailin said.

Ning Lan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll tell your sister later."

Having achieved her goal, Zhao Kailin was too lazy to chat with Ning Lan anymore, so she found an excuse and left.

But she didn't expect that Old Lady Zhao and Zhao Kaifeng were still waiting outside. When she saw her come out, Old Lady Zhao took a quick step and slapped her in the face.

Zhao Kailin was unable to react in time, and although she dodged for a moment, she was still scratched on the face by her dry and rough fingers.

"Grandma, what are you doing!" Zhao Kailin covered her face and glared angrily.

Old Lady Zhao opened her mouth and spewed out another mouthful of thick phlegm, "Bah, you want to be that ungrateful person too? Go find your bitch mother and stop calling me grandma!"

Zhao Kailin dodged her thick sputum, her heart filled with resentment and anger.

Since she was a child, Mrs. Zhao has always favored her brother and either beat or scolded her. Today, she even dared to beat her again!

Zhao Kaifeng just stood aside, pretending not to see anything, not caring at all about what her grandmother would do to her.

Zhao Kailin was filled with resentment and wished they all died!

However, thinking of the proud Ning Xi, she suppressed her anger and stepped forward and said, "Grandma, what are you talking about? I'm a member of the Zhao family. If not grandma, what should I call you?"

"Bah! What were you talking about with your bitch mother just now? You were being so affectionate and thought I didn't see it!" Old Lady Zhao hated both of them in her heart, Ning Xi and Ning Lan.

Just now, when I saw my granddaughter walking over and being affectionate with Ning Lan, how could I not be angry? I felt that my granddaughter had betrayed them and was going to be with Ning Lan.

Ungrateful person!

As expected, all ungrateful children born to ungrateful people are ungrateful!

Seeing the old lady Zhao's face that was black with anger and the way she was spraying her breath in her face, Zhao Kailin clenched her fists, but still suppressed her nausea and said, "Grandma, I did that just now because I wanted to find out about Ning Xi's husband."

Mrs. Zhao was stunned when she heard this, and even Zhao Kaifeng looked at her straight in the eye.

Zhao Kailin concealed her hatred for them and smiled, "Ning Xi has been raised by my mother all these years. She's half a member of the Zhao family, right? My mother said that her brother-in-law is quite rich. Since he married a member of our Zhao family, how can he not show any gratitude at all?"

She stopped there and watched Old Lady Zhao's eyes rolling left and right.

Yes, even though he is an ungrateful person, he was raised by the Zhao family. How can he get married without any expression when he said so?

At least you should give a betrothal gift!

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhao's complexion quickly improved.

Zhao Kaifeng, who had learned her true teachings, also thought of it and said, "Grandma, that old man didn't give us any betrothal gifts!"

"Bah, do you need to say that!" Old Mrs. Zhao glared at him, but compared to how she treated Zhao Kailin just now, she was extremely kind.

Ning Xi said that the old man was rich and powerful, so the betrothal gift must not be less.

She muttered for a moment, then her eyes lit up quickly and she said, "Five hundred thousand! He must pay five hundred thousand!"

"Ah, so much!" Zhao Kaifeng was shocked, and then he was ecstatic: "Is it okay? Will he give it to me?"

"He dares not to give it a try. The bride price is a rule passed down by our ancestors. How dare he break the rule? That would be illegal. In the old society, landlords had to give several taels of silver to concubines. Could it be that the ungrateful boy is not as good as a concubine?" said Old Lady Zhao.

But Zhao Kaifeng was really worried about this. What if Ning Xi was not his wife at all, but a mistress?

After all, there is such a big age gap between the two.

"What are you afraid of? If they dare not give it to me, I will have someone break Ning Xi's spine! We are not lying this time. We are not afraid of her!" Old Lady Zhao said as she straightened her slightly hunched back.

Zhao Kaifeng listened to her completely. After all, he had food to eat and money to spend as long as he followed his grandmother.

Zhao Kailin was very satisfied with their performance. As long as they dared to make trouble with that man, with so much money, even if they were extremely wealthy, they would definitely disgust him. Then...

She hid the light in her eyes.

Old Lady Zhao suddenly stared at her, frowning, "You're so much younger than Ning Xi, and you're not bad looking either, so why can't you find a man like her? You're really useless. No wonder your bitch mother would rather take those two sisters with her than you!"

These words directly struck Zhao Kailin's heart. No matter how well she concealed it, she could not hide the resentment and hatred in her eyes.

After giving Old Lady Zhao an angry look, she turned and left.

Old Lady Zhao yelled angrily, "Why are you leaving? Stop right there!"

The family then walked away.

After Ning Xi inquired about the submitted documents, she learned that it would take another seven working days for review before it could be approved, so she went back to find Ning Lan and Shuo Shuo.

"Aunt, let's go."
