Wan Qiqi happened to walk over and overheard what Old Mrs. Chen said.

This person wasn't really inviting them to Old Chen's house for dinner; he was clearly just subtly trying to get a share of the food.

Or perhaps, Old Mrs. Chen had taken a liking to the Chen family and wanted to bring her people to the Chen family home for the New Year.

Wan Qiqi walked in without changing her expression and said with a smile, "There's no need for such trouble. Grandma, just bring Yunniang and the others to eat. I have plenty of room here."

"Okay...is this okay?" Old Mrs. Chen clearly wanted to agree directly, but she forced herself to take a roundabout approach.

Wan Qiqi walked over with a fake smile and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, we're all Chen family!"

She thought to herself: If you behave yourself, you will get a share of what Wang Zhi gets; but if you cause trouble, consider this a farewell dinner, and don't expect to get any benefits from the Chen family again.

However, Wan Qiqi's smile immediately vanished after hearing Old Mrs. Chen's next words.

"Qiqi, it's not that Grandma is saying anything... Insect Mother is about to give birth, so there are some taboos to be aware of. Someone in your brother's family just died, and they're carrying bad luck. If that happens to the unborn child..."

As Grandma Chen continued speaking, she noticed that Wan Qiqi's expression was off, so she chose to shut up.

Wan Qiqi sneered, "If Grandma thinks my brother is unlucky, she doesn't need to come to the Chen family."

“My elder brother was a successful candidate in the provincial examination back then. He is a person blessed by the God of Literature and should be the top scholar in the future. The baby in my mother’s arms should be blessed by his good fortune. How can there be any talk of bad luck?”

She stared at Old Mrs. Chen, her eyes narrowing slightly, "Grandma, don't listen to other people's nonsense and cause your own people to become alienated."

Overwhelmed by Wan Qiqi's imposing aura, Old Mrs. Chen couldn't help but take a step back in fright.

She knew her granddaughter-in-law was formidable, but she never expected that the other woman would say such things to an old woman like herself.

Each glance brings a greater sense of fear.

She fled like a mouse caught stealing food.
