Chapter 887 Shang Xun is completely unworthy of Miss Black Fox

"..."

Upon hearing her mother-in-law's words, the second wife suddenly looked up and answered guiltily.

"That was before; I don't have that thought anymore."

An Huini hid it so well; thankfully, she was exposed.

otherwise--

I wonder how much trouble it will cause if I marry her.

"snort."

The old lady grew angrier the more she thought about it, and slammed her chopsticks on the table.

The old man next to him was so frightened that he immediately put down the quail egg he had half-eaten.

"I don't even know what to say about you, you..."

With younger relatives present, the old lady, mindful of her feelings, refrained from launching into a tirade, only saying, "How can you have such poor judgment in people? You dare to bring all sorts of scoundrels into your home."

"Also, I've heard that Shang Xun has a girl he likes, hasn't he?"

The old lady said coldly, "Wuwu's older sister."

“They’re quite different,” the second wife muttered, feeling wronged. “And their family backgrounds aren’t a good match either.”

"..."

Second Master Shang quickly nudged her. What time is it? Why are you still bringing up family background?

Pei Jinwu was still sitting down; wasn't saying this a slap in her face?

His wife is good in every way, except that she's a bit naive and a little slow on the uptake.

"..."

The second wife realized what was happening, raised her head slightly, and glanced at the girl across from her who was eating shrimp.

Pei Jinwu also looked up, meeting her gaze, and a curved smile appeared on her lips.

But, well, the way he laughed was a little creepy.

"Cough cough cough..."

The second wife was frightened and coughed uncontrollably.

Are you alright?

Master Shang quickly patted her back to calm her down, looking rather helpless: "What are you afraid of when Wuwu smiles at you?"

"What do you think I'm afraid of?" The second wife glared at him, feeling utterly humiliated. "Husband, let's go."

She ate the meal with trepidation.

If this continues, she really won't be able to breathe.

"That's not a good idea..."

Master Shang frowned; this was a family gathering that the Shang family held twice a week.

No one should be absent or leave early unless it is an urgent matter.

"If you have something to say, just call. Stop whining and making a fuss. What kind of manners are these?"

When Grandpa Shang spoke, the couple had no choice but to sit obediently.

"You just said that Shang Xun and Black Fox's family backgrounds are not a good match?"

The old lady straightened her posture, her aged face showing a touch of seriousness.

"I……"

The second wife opened her mouth, wanting to speak but stopping herself, not daring to utter any more nonsense.

Suddenly, the old lady said, "Indeed, their family backgrounds are not a good match."

"?"

The second wife was bewildered. What did the old lady mean by this? Did she agree with her statement?

I told you so.

Although Pei Jinwu is very capable, her family doesn't seem like a business.

They are wealthy and powerful, and also a century-old prominent family.

The old lady, after all, was a young lady from a prominent family.

How could she possibly be interested in someone like Black Fox?

Thinking about this...

The second wife's panic vanished instantly. She grinned, about to speak.

The old lady interrupted, "Miss Black Fox is a world-renowned special forces instructor. Those trained by her are protecting peace all over the world."

"Her parents are medical professionals who sacrificed themselves to save people. They are still working hard to develop the country's medical cause. They have made great contributions and deserve our respect."

"Her older brother is a movie star who is famous all over the world."

My second brother is a member of the International Medical Association.

"Third Brother, a renowned race car driver."

"The remaining three sisters are a pharmaceutical genius, a casino owner, and..."

Speaking of which...

The old lady turned her head to look at Pei Jinwu, her lips curving into a smile, her voice softening: "I don't need to elaborate on Wuwu's achievements, do I?"

An absurd number of identities.

If I were to introduce everything, we probably wouldn't have time to finish the meal.

"..."

The second wife pursed her lips, unable to fathom the meaning behind the old lady's words.

I dared not speak rashly again.

"And what about the merchants?"

The old lady gave a cold laugh and said slowly, "Besides having some money and some power, what else do you have?"

"What else do you think there is?"

Old Master Shang: "..."

Second Master Shang: "..."

Shang Shiyan: "..."

The three merchants exchanged a glance and silently lowered their heads.

"So I think my second daughter-in-law is right."

The old lady changed the subject, "The two families are indeed mismatched. Shang Xun is not worthy of Miss Black Fox at all."

"!!!"

The second wife stood frozen in place, as if petrified, her mind nearly shutting down.

Is Shang Xun from her family not good enough for Black Fox?

This is utter nonsense and alarmist!

But when I tried to refute it, I couldn't find any compelling words.

The old lady's words made so much sense that she almost convinced even herself.

"mom--"

The mother couldn't bear to hear her son being scolded like that, and the second wife tried to argue back.

"Don't speak yet."

The old lady interrupted her, her voice icy: "The Shang family is neither a remarkable family nor something unapproachable."

"The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so many years. Even I, an old fogey, know about freedom of love. You shouldn't interfere in your child's love life."

"Don't let your son end up disloyal to you; it's not worth it."

"..."

The second wife listened quietly. Although the words were unpleasant, upon reflection they made a lot of sense.

She painstakingly planned everything, only to almost end up marrying a scourge.

Now even her son doesn't contact her anymore.

Shang Xun may seem unserious, but he is actually a very opinionated person at heart.

Once you've decided on someone or something, you won't easily change your mind.

She only had one son...

If things continue like this, the mother and son will drift apart. What good will it do if the mother marries a daughter-in-law she likes?

Why.

never mind.

"I understand, Mom." The second wife frowned and said dejectedly, "My original intention was also to do what's best for Shang Xun."

The old lady couldn't bear to scold her dim-witted daughter-in-law, so she softened her tone and said, "Shang Xun is a good girl. Her recently founded drone company is also doing very well."

"As a mother, you should trust him."

"Um."

The second wife nodded, feeling much more at ease.

As for Black Fox...

Perhaps she doesn't understand her.

Anyway, there will be plenty of time in the future, and we will eventually be able to get in touch with each other.

We'll learn more about it gradually later.

"Oh, right, there's something else I hope you know as well."

The old lady paused for a few seconds and said in a low voice, "Miss Black Fox is Wuwu's relative, and her family members are from the Shang family."

“An Huini dared to slander her like this, so she should pay the price she deserves.”

Not to mention, she has a blood on her hands.

She committed intentional homicide, and regardless of whether the victim is dead or not, her conscience is extremely wicked.

Such a person, placed in society, is practically a ticking time bomb.

"Mom, you mean..."

The second wife hesitated, looking troubled: "Isn't the An family on good terms with us? Won't doing this damage the harmony between the two families?"

"So what if she's hurt?" The old lady slammed her hand on the table again. "I'm so ashamed to have raised such a daughter who isn't even human, and to be friends with them."

Then he nudged Old Master Shang next to him: "Speak up, stop pretending to be dead!"

The old man swayed slightly, then nodded with a wry smile: "You're right!"

When she speaks, how can he possibly interrupt?

Why ask him?

——

Good night.
