Chapter 919: None of them are easy to deal with

I already realized what kind of situation I would be facing. Xiao Shiqiu looked calm and composed.

Seeing that I suddenly became a little nervous, he gently shook my hand and said in a warm voice, "Don't be nervous. With me here, they can't cause any trouble. I expected what happened today."

As soon as I walked into the living room, I felt several gazes directed at me, some probing, some hostile.

I guess I'm getting in someone's way.

The spacious U-shaped sofa in the middle was already full of people, including older uncles and several cousins ​​who looked about the same age as Xiao Shiqiu.

Sitting on the main seat nearby were Old Man Xiao and Xiao Xiao Shiqiu's father.

Mr. Xiao was resting with his eyes closed, looking like he didn't want to bother with anyone.

I noticed that the most hostile look came from the man I met in the club, who should be Wu Wanqing's lover.

Xiao Shiqiu looked around and there was no place for us.

"Auntie Chen, move another chair over." Xiao Shiqiu ordered calmly.

I was a little puzzled. Why did he ask the nanny to move a chair? Did he want me to sit on him?

There are so many people here, including elders. It would be so embarrassing. Even if the daughter-in-law is a certified worker, it would not be appropriate.

When Old Man Xiao heard the voice of his precious grandson, he opened his eyes and looked over. His face immediately turned into a chrysanthemum smile. "Xiao Qiu and Xiao Yu Mao are back. Come, find a place to sit down."

Soon, a carved wooden chair was brought and placed next to us.

I was hesitating whether to sit down first, but he pulled me back.

Xiao Shiqiu looked at the young man on a large single sofa and said, "Xiao Zhening, get up and sit on the chair. I'll give this sofa to your aunt."

Although the man was not very old, he looked to be around twenty-four or twenty-five years old.

He looked at me with some dissatisfaction, but facing his cousin Xiao Shiqiu, he still got up obediently and sat on the hard bench.

Xiao Shiqiu hugged me and squeezed into the single sofa. Fearing that I would feel uncomfortable, he even said loudly, "This single sofa is spacious. It would be a waste for one person to sit on it. It's just right for two people."

Xiao Zhengning looked at his son's carefree look, shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Old Master Xiao continued to look at his grandson with a smile on his face, not caring at all about who he had just driven away.

At this moment, a well-dressed middle-aged man cleared his throat and spoke first. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of scrutiny. "Hey, Shiqiu, why are you back so suddenly?" He glanced at me sideways, then looked away again. "I heard that you got your marriage certificate today. Such a big happy event, why didn't you tell your family in advance?"

Xiao Shiqiu's lips curled slightly, and his tone was neither salty nor bland: "Fifth Uncle, what are you talking about? What do you mean by coming back suddenly? This is my home. Do I need to notify you in advance when I go home?

Besides, getting married is my own business, do I need to hold a family meeting to decide?"

Uncle Xiao Wu's face froze, obviously not expecting him to retort so directly.

A wealthy woman next to him, who should be Xiao Shiqiu's aunt, immediately responded, "Shiqiu, you can't say that. Our Xiao family is not an ordinary family. After all, we are a well-known and famous family in City A.

Since getting a marriage certificate is such a big thing, you should have informed your elders first. It is not appropriate to let them know about it only after seeing the news online.

Besides, your wife is so young, she hasn't even graduated yet, right? You got the marriage certificate so hastily, could it be that she's pregnant?"

As she spoke, she glanced at me with a hint of disdain. "In our circle, we've seen many girls like this. In order to marry into a wealthy family and to avoid unexpected changes, they rush to get pregnant at a young age."

As soon as he said this, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly became subtle.

I clenched my fists and felt uncomfortable. Although I am not a chaste and heroic woman, I felt like quarreling after being framed like this.

Xiao Shiqiu smiled faintly, grabbed my hand and placed it on his lips, kissed it gently and said, "If I wasn't afraid of the long night and the dream of the wife I have been thinking about for so long being abducted, I wouldn't have wronged her and become a married girl just after she reached the age of getting a marriage certificate."

Married girl? The first time I heard this word, I almost laughed out loud.

Seeing that Xiao Shiqiu was unmoved, the uncle of the Xiao family's third branch sighed and turned to Old Man Xiao: "Second brother, I know that Shiqiu has always had his own ideas since he was young, and we, as elders, don't want to interfere with his marriage.

It's just that our Xiao family's company is developing so well now, so the issue of equity distribution must be carefully considered. This girl is so young, much younger than Shiqiu, what if in the future..."

He didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear. He was just afraid that I would take away the company's equity.

Old Master Xiao frowned and said nothing.

Seeing that his father didn't say anything, Xiao Zhengning also kept silent, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and just glanced at his son, meaning to let him handle it himself.

I saw the quarrel between the father and son, and knew that both old men did not want to get involved in this mess, but because of their family ties, they did not want to fall out.

In the eyes of the older generation, relatives in a large family are still very important.

Xiao Shiqiu's eyes showed no emotion, but his tone was icy, "Third Uncle, I founded the STG Group. How I want to distribute the shares is my business. As for my wife, she has reached the legal age of 20.

What do you mean by that? What's wrong with her being young? Do you think I'm too old and are you worried that she'll abandon me or that I'll die too young?

Xiao Zhengning couldn't stand it any longer. "Xiao Qiu, don't talk nonsense like that. You're already this old, but you still can't control your words."

A girl who looked about my age looked at me with a smile and said, "Little aunt, was Grandma Si right just now? Are you really pregnant now?"

Xiao Shiqiu glanced over calmly and said, "You two are more concerned about whether my wife is pregnant than I am. Don't worry, you will definitely have a full moon wine party when the baby is born."

The expressions of several people around changed slightly. One of them, a man in his mid-thirties, said in a somewhat gloomy tone, "Brother Shiqiu, congratulations to you. However, we should do a paternity test after the child is born.

Don't let it be like last time, raising someone else's daughter for eighteen years in vain."

I was sitting there without saying a word, but Xiao Shiqiu's head was already glowing green because of what they said?

I think I should learn from Huang Tianyi and start complaining about everything.

Xiao Shiqiu seemed to have noticed my intention and patted my hand calmly, telling me not to worry about it and let him handle it.
