Luo Shaoqiang's smile remained unchanged. "Since she abandoned my sister and me, we've lost our mother. Auntie, please take a seat! The meal is about to begin."

Sun Shujing also smiled, her smile was very bright, "Don't worry! If you don't invite me, I will do it for you."

As Sun Shujing finished speaking, a woman wearing shabby clothes that looked like they belonged to the 1970s and 1980s walked into the hall. The moment she saw Luo Shaoqiang, she burst into tears before she even spoke. "Qiangqiang, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me! I've suffered so much over the years. I ran away from home out of necessity, and later I had to fight for custody because my second husband pressured me. Qiangqiang, I love you and Yingying."

Zhou Xiang frowned. This woman was indeed Ji Hong. She had lost the elegance and gentleness she had forced upon herself, and was no better than an ordinary old woman. But how did she get into the lobby? Was there no one guarding the hotel entrance?

Seeing his mother like this, Luo Shaoqiang felt relieved but also a little uncomfortable. The smile on his face deepened. He looked at Sun Shujing,

"Aunt, what's your intention in finding someone to pretend to be my mother? If you don't like me, I can just not come. After all, I didn't invite you, right? To put it bluntly, you and I are only related by marriage, and you are just a nominal elder. You want to interfere in my Luo family's affairs. Don't you think you're overstepping your bounds?"

Originally, Sun Shuxian was unhappy because her younger sister was causing trouble for her son-in-law, and was ready to say a few words to help. But now, after hearing Luo Shaoqiang's disrespectful words, Sun Shuxian felt that her son-in-law was not giving her or the Sun family any face.

"Luo Shaoqiang, how can you talk like that? That's your aunt." Sun Shuxian's tone was like she was scolding a servant.

"Mom!" Xiao Xiaoxiao was so angry that she burst into tears. Not only was the Hundred Days Banquet ruined by these people, but her own mother also teamed up with her aunt to bully her husband. She couldn't stand it.

"Mom, if you feel I've embarrassed you, you can sever ties with me and announce it when you return to the capital. That way, no one will laugh at you when you go out socializing. But I won't allow you to bully my husband. He's my daughter's father. No matter how bad he is or how poor his family background is, this is my own choice. I need to walk my own path in the future. It has nothing to do with you, and even less so with my aunt!"

After scolding her mother, Xiao Xiaoxiao scolded her aunt, "Aunt, I really didn't invite you to be my guest. Since you are here, you should behave yourself. I am not happy about you messing with my little family like this, and you don't want to be happy either."

After that, he called out to Kong Keyan at the kitchen door, "Manager Kong, please ask someone to kick that beggar out, and also ask Sun Shujing and her family to leave."

"Xiaoxiao?" Sun Shuxian exclaimed, "Are you embarrassing your mother by doing this?"

"Mom!" Xiao Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with tears and she shouted angrily, "You are the one who embarrassed me! When I was little, I was stupid, and you always wanted to keep me at home, saying that I would embarrass you if I went out. Later, I came to my senses, and you calculated the benefits and wanted to marry me off to a richer man. I knew clearly that it was impossible for me to marry a richer man, but you were unwilling to let me marry a poorer man, so I decided not to marry, and I planned to die abroad!

After so many years abroad, my grandfather missed me and asked me to come back, but when I think of your behavior, I would rather disappoint him again and again than come back to face you. You always do things that I hate under the banner of doing good for me.

If Grandpa hadn't loved me, you would have given up on me long ago during those years of my foolishness! You knew your aunt wasn't on good terms with you, that she flatters the powerful and bullies the weak, yet you still brought her here. Were you hoping she'd do something to vent your frustration? Were you hoping to use her to humiliate this son-in-law you despised?

I tell you, no need! My husband doesn't need you to look up to him, he doesn't need your approval, he is just my husband, Xiao Xiaoxiao!

I hate your hypocrisy, the hypocrisy of putting profit and face first. I tolerate you because you are my mother, and I avoid you because you are my mother. But, do you treat me as your daughter? Have you ever thought about how I will live in the future after you humiliate my husband?

No, you haven't thought about it, because you look down on my husband, because you think that the Xiao family's granddaughter married an ordinary person, and people should be happy to flatter and coax her,

During those years of wandering abroad, it was Luo Shaoqiang who gave me warmth, took good care of me, and warmed my heart which was broken by you after I woke up. As soon as I returned to China, I came here directly and was with Luo Shaoqiang directly because I didn't want you to interfere, and I didn't want to face your hypocrisy.

How can you say the word "embarrassment" to me so arrogantly? Didn't you bring this embarrassment upon yourself? Wasn't it your own sister who started it first?

Sun Shuxian was stunned. Did her daughter harbor resentment and hatred towards her? What was wrong with her? Why had she pushed her daughter so far away?

Old Master Xiao stood up and slowly walked to his granddaughter, standing straight with his crutches, "Xiao Zhiyong, Sun Shuxian, take Sun Shujing's family and get out immediately. From now on, no one from the Sun or Su family is allowed to set foot in our Xiao family, otherwise I will break their legs.

Sun Shuxian, if you are not convinced, you can go back to the Sun family. That way, you can live in love with your family for a long time. Xiaoxiao is my granddaughter and has nothing to do with you and Xiao Zhiyong.

"Grandpa~" Being protected by her grandfather so domineeringly, Xiao Xiaoxiao hugged her grandfather's arm and couldn't help crying.

Old Man Xiao raised his other arm, wanting to pat his granddaughter on the back, but his arm was too clumsy to reach. He could only stare at Luo Shaoqiang, who was standing there stupidly holding his daughter, and said, "You little bastard, your wife is crying, and you don't know how to comfort her?"

The guests, who had watched a family ethics drama, all laughed in good-natured laughter.

"That's right, Chief Steward Luo, go and coax your wife!"

"Yes! Director Xiao is so strong in supporting you, you have to show your support."

"Yes, hurry up and go pick up your wife."

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see he was holding his daughter?"

"You're the fool! Hold your daughter in one hand and your wife in the other!"

"Then you can demonstrate to General Luo. My sister-in-law is right next to you!"

"Hey! You men are talking about us women, why are you bringing us women into this?"

"That's right! You men hurt each other, don't hurt us too. Our sister-in-law never hugs outside."

"Well, you're teasing me in a roundabout way. I think you're itching for trouble."

What followed was a round of jokes and banter. On the stage, Luo Shaoqiang had already hugged his wife in his arms, and the guests immediately gave him applause, cheers and whistles.

Kong Keyan and the hotel security took the shabby-dressed woman out.

Ji Hong struggled and called out "Qiangqiang Yingying", but her cries were drowned out by the applause and cheers. She kept looking back at the lovely couple snuggling together and hugging their baby.

She truly regretted it. What she had just said came from the heart. She had been wandering around for years, growing older and older, and even the job of washing dishes was no longer hers. If only, if only she had taken good care of her two children, would she have been able to enjoy her old age in peace? Tears of regret flowed down her wrinkled eyes.

Zhou Xiang saw Ji Hong's regret clearly, but he would not sympathize with her. Everyone has to pay the price for what they do.
