"Mom!" Xia Xi interrupted her hastily, her grip on the steering wheel unconsciously tightening. "Please don't say such things again, especially in front of the children. What happened in the past is in the past. He and I will never be together again in this life. We were not from the same world from the beginning. It was my youth and ignorance that provoked him."

Grandma couldn't get a word in and could only sigh.

The cell phone rang. Xia Xi looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Xia Xuan calling.

She was not in a position to answer the phone, so she handed it to Su Jinru, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and asked her to answer it.

Su Jinru quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, gathered her composure, and answered the phone: "Hello, Xuanxuan, your sister is driving, what's going on?"

The person on the other side asked how much the extra money for the banquet and room booking was today, and she turned around.

Su Jinru didn't know either, it was all arranged by Xia Xi.

She turned on the speakerphone and let Xia Xi speak for herself.

Xia Xi: "It's not much money, no need to transfer it to me."

Xia Xuan was unhappy: "Brothers should be clear about their accounts. You contributed money and effort to this wedding, so how can I ask you to pay for it? If you don't say anything, I will directly transfer 60,000 yuan to you."

Xia Xi had no choice but to compromise and offer a price.

Then, Xia Xuan transferred the money over.

Su Jinru said, "Your sister is right. You have two children to raise, and you need to buy a lot of things when you return home. You should think more about yourself. Your sister is married now and can make money by painting. Chen Songbai has also been promoted and received a raise, so there is no pressure in life. But you, on the other hand, are still undecided about marriage. What do you think of the guy I introduced you to last time..."

"Stop." Xia Xi didn't like to hear the curse of urging marriage. "I'm driving. Let's go back and talk."

Su Jinru scolded, "You kid, you always interrupt me every time I mention a blind date."

While everyone was having a good time here, Xia Xuan started arguing with her boyfriend in a tense atmosphere.

"What are you doing? Are you going to transfer money to your sister?" Miao Cuixia jumped up from the sofa. She had just complained of back pain, but now it was completely gone. She pointed at Xia Xuan's nose and angrily said, "Your sister said in the hotel that she would pay the extra money. Now that you've married into our family, you don't consider the family at all and are even leaning towards your own family. Is this how you behave as a wife?"

Xia Xuan was a soft-hearted person, not good at arguing. She blushed and paled at the words, "This is Song Bai and my wedding. It's inappropriate for my sister to pay for it... Besides, my sister paid for the wedding venue, and she's been busy entertaining guests all day."

"Xiaoxuan, you can't say that." Miao Cuixia's face turned grim. "Don't you think about it? Your sister is a famous designer abroad, earning millions a year, and you're in poor health and can't go out to work. The family relies entirely on Songbai to support them. How can it be the same?"

"I……"

Xia Xuan couldn't argue with her, so she pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers and looked at Chen Songbai for help.

Miao Cuixia was always strong at home. Seeing this, she hurried forward to block her view. "You have a heart disease and can't have children to carry on the Chen family's lineage. Do you know how much pressure I endured to agree to this marriage? It was only after Song Bai knelt down in front of me and kowtowed until he bled that I agreed. You should learn to be grateful!"

Xia Xuan was almost crying with anger.

She just knew how to be grateful and didn't want to trouble her second sister for everything. The money for her surgery was given by her second sister.

"Mom, this is getting more serious." Chen Songbai walked around his mother, grabbed Xia Xuan's arm, and shielded her behind him. He frowned, "I was just about to ask you, where do all these relatives come from? There are so many faces I haven't even seen. The fifteen tables we originally booked were more than enough, so why are there so many people here today?"

Miao Cuixia felt guilty and her eyes flickered.

She sat back on the sofa, her hands clasped between her legs, not daring to look at her son. "Yesterday I called your cousin back home and told him you were having your wedding in a five-star hotel. Those old-fashioned people wanted to see it, and they brought their whole family along."

As he spoke, he also became angry and spat: "Bah, one person pays and the whole family joins in, even the wool is fleeced like this, it makes me angry to death."

Chen Songbai understood. His mother called the poor relatives in her hometown to show off. The relatives were not stupid either. They simply took advantage of the situation, gave a gift, and took the whole family to a five-star hotel for a big meal. After all, the air tickets and hotel were all included, so they just treated it as a trip.

"Look, this is clearly your fault. How dare you let my second sister pay for it?"

Seeing that her son was not on her side, Miao Cuixia was furious. Knowing that she would not get any good out of confronting him head-on, she slapped her thigh and cried, "Well, you unfilial son, you have a wife and you forget your mother. You even don't like me. I won't live anymore!"

"That's enough. How can you keep crying at your age?" said Chen's father, who had been smoking in silence. The short, dark man's face was filled with irritation. He exhaled a puff of cigarette and looked at the woman hiding behind his son. "Your mother is right. You have cut off the Chen family's incense. This is a great act of treason."

As these words came out, Xia Xuan's face completely lost its color.

She confessed everything before marriage. She had a congenital heart disease and had undergone surgery a few years ago. The doctor did not recommend having children because there was a high possibility that she would not survive the operation.

When Chen Songbai proposed to her, he clearly stated that he did not want to have children.

If they want to have a child in the future, they can go to an orphanage to adopt one.

As for the two elders of the Chen family, Chen Songbai came forward to persuade them, so she didn't have to face them.

Who would have thought that after the wedding, the two old people would bring up the topic of having children.

"Dad!" Chen Songbai said impatiently, "Didn't I explain everything to you guys last time I got home? Why are you bringing this up again?"
