The Fake Heiress's Husband Reborn

For Xie Jing, it seemed she was always a supporting character. Though the eldest daughter, her parents favored her twin younger siblings, Xie Wuyi and Xie Wuyou more. In terms of family affection, ...

Chapter 31 Returning Home

But Xie Jing only found it funny when she heard this. She hid the smile on her lips by holding Liu Limin's arm and said falsely, "Thank you for thinking about me, Mom. I'm fine. Jiyun treats me very well."

Liu Limin patted Xie Jing's hand and said, "As long as he treats you well, that's good. Come in quickly. Your grandmother, aunt, and your aunt have already arrived."

Xie Jing thought she had guessed right. Hui-Mian (returning home) is a time for a married daughter to return home, and her family should be present. But with all the relatives standing around, Xie Jing felt as if she were back on her wedding day.

Xie Wuyang helped Zhou Jiyun carry back the wedding gifts. Seeing these valuable cigarettes, alcohol, tea, various fish maws, cordyceps, etc., Xie Xuerong was in a very good mood and even said a few polite words: "You guys just came back, why did you bring so many things? We don't need them at home."

"Etiquette cannot be abandoned," Zhou Jiyun said calmly, "I have to reassure my father-in-law and mother-in-law, so that you can safely leave Jingjing to me."

"Don't worry, we definitely won't worry." Xie Xuerong nodded repeatedly: "Jingjing is very lucky to have met you."

"I am the luckiest person to have met Jingjing." Zhou Jiyun corrected him, "I am both lucky and honored."

Xie Jing's ears twitched. No matter what time it was, Zhou Jiyun never hesitated to protect her dignity. If Xie Jing had thought it was just an act before, but now looking at it again, it seemed that it was more than just an act?

But why? Even if it was love at first sight, could a person's emotions suddenly become so heavy? Xie Jing couldn't figure it out. She saw Zhou Jiyun's eyes several times, and she felt that Zhou Jiyun's eyes were so heavy that she felt a little sad.

Xie Jing didn't dwell on it, and the most important thing was to deal with the people in front of her. Since she had already decided to continue her relationship with Zhou Jiyun, she didn't rush to get answers to everything.

So today's return visit was divided into two groups. One group was the relatives of Zhou Jiyun and Xie Liu. The men sat together drinking tea and chatting, analyzing current affairs and economics, or talking about business matters.

Zhou Jiyun was able to make a significant difference in all these matters. Injecting capital into the Xie family was a condition for the marriage, but Zhou Jiyun wasn't so charitable as to offer his help to every single person in need. In person, however, Zhou Jiyun didn't offend anyone, simply stating that his abilities were limited and that if there were an opportunity, both parties would definitely cooperate.

The other group was Xie Jing and the women from the two families. As for Xie Wuyou, he hadn't said a single word since Xie Jing came back.

Xie Jing didn't care. She and Xie Wuyou were just maintaining a superficial peace. In reality, they both disliked each other, but it wasn't time for a real falling out yet.

Grandma Liu took a look at what Xie Jing was wearing, then glanced at the peace locket on her neck, a gleam in her old eyes: "This peace locket has excellent water content. People say that wearing jade can bring safety. Jiyun really cares about you."

Xie Jing's radar went off quietly, but she didn't brag at all: "I didn't know there was such a meaning. Ji Yun just asked me to wear it to show off."

"I'm his wife now. If I become too poor and shabby, it will only bring shame to him."

Speaking of the peace locket, Xie Jing thought of the scene in the morning. Thinking of the awkward and beautiful morning, Xie Jing quickly passed it over and focused on dealing with the group of noble ladies headed by Grandma Liu.

Liu Limin was embarrassed: "Jingjing is blaming me. You got married in such a hurry, and I'm short of money. I really can't afford to buy you more jewelry that would be suitable for you."

"Mom, I didn't say anything," Xie Jing said with a half-smile. "You can put the hat of complaint on me now. Did I object to you saying a word when you were preparing my dowry? No, right?"

"Jiyun is just being considerate of me and gave me a peace locket. Mom, that's all you think about. What do you want me to do? Should I refuse anything Zhou Jiyun gives me in the future? Only then can you be satisfied?"

Liu Limin was stunned, thinking, how could that be possible? If Xie Jing didn't accept Zhou Jiyun's things, how would she benefit from it in the future?

Seeing Liu Limin's frozen face, Grandma Liu couldn't help but secretly curse her for being useless. She hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "You kid, your mother just said a few words, and you have so many things to say to her..."

Xie Jing knew that the old lady was biased and would definitely not speak up for her. Or perhaps Liu Limin's actions were a plan between them.

Perhaps this was an opportunity to test her attitude towards the Xie family and see if she and the Xie family were of the same mind.

After thinking this through, Xie Jing knew what to do: "Grandma, I understand that you feel sorry for my mom, but I didn't say anything from beginning to end. Mom looks like I've wronged her. Between us, who is more wronged?"

Liu Limin's sister-in-law laughed and said, "Jingjing, you were wronged in the marriage, but your parents can't do anything about it, right? They raised you... How sad must your mother be when you say that?"

"Isn't this my return?" Xie Jing interrupted her aunt with a smile. "The Zhou family gave me benefits, but I didn't get a single cent. I have more than enough money to support dozens of those small targets. How else do you want me to repay you, aunt?"

"Mom, you can't sell me out once and expect me to come back and forgive you, right? Who will forgive me?"

Liu Limin clutched her chest, feeling a bit shaky. Xie Jing calmly drank a sip of tea and said, "Mom, please don't faint. If you do, Jiyun might think you don't welcome him to come back with me."

Liu Limin immediately lowered her hand from her chest and even glanced towards the living room on the first floor: "You...you're using Zhou Jiyun to pressure me?"

"Yes, I just relied on Zhou Jiyun's influence," Xie Jing put down her teacup. "After all, it was you who actively facilitated my marriage with him. What's wrong with me using my husband's name?"

Liu Limin was so angry that she fell backwards: "Okay, I said you pretended like that before, but I didn't expect you to be waiting for me here... I shouldn't have let you go when we arranged the marriage..."

Xie Jing jokingly glanced at Xie Wuyou who was sitting on the sofa: "Let Xie Wuyou go? But your good daughter doesn't want to marry, so in the end you can only push me out."

"The way you are acting now looks like a trial in court," Xie Jing was still smiling. Seeing these people dislike her but can't get rid of her, this feeling made her feel better, and her smile became brighter.

Grandma Liu was worldly-wise: "What nonsense are you talking about? It's your turn to visit your parents today, so why would you want to have a trial? Your mother and your aunt just love you. I know your mother has been partial to you over the years, and she's wronged you."

Xie Jing raised an eyebrow: "No more?"

"Ah?" Grandma Liu was stunned: "What's gone?"
