Lin's mother's sister-in-law frowned when she heard this series of accusations, but she also knew that what her sister-in-law said could not be fully trusted.
She subconsciously glanced at Lin Yan, who was chatting nicely with several girls from the Lin family's side branches, and asked after thinking for a moment.
"Tell me what's going on so I can help you make a decision. Why did Lin Yan contradict you?"
Mother Lin did not hide anything from her sister-in-law and told her what happened in a few words.
"Tell me what's wrong with him that he couldn't come back and tell us, but had to embarrass Jiaojiao outside. Do you think she's holding a grudge against us for letting her marry into the Lu family?"
"Now that you have the Lu family as your backing, you don't even take me, your mother, seriously."
Lin's mother's words made her sister-in-law silent for a few seconds. Looking at her sister-in-law with an ugly face in front of her, she suddenly didn't know how to persuade her.
Those who don’t know would think that Lin Yan had done something very vicious, but this is the result?
It was Lin Jiao who turned down the marriage and gave it to Lin Yan. This had already wronged Lin Yan. Now that she's living a good life, she's unwilling to accept it?
Lin's mother's sister-in-law is not a fool either. It is obvious that Lin Jiao is unwilling to give up a good marriage and is regretting it.
But she was her sister-in-law after all. If she offended the Lu family, her own family would be implicated. She could only take a deep breath and speak.
"She's married now, so you have to give her some time to meet up. You have to think about Lin Qi, right? I know you feel sorry for Jiaojiao, but if you offend the Lu family, it will be Lin Qi who will suffer."
These words successfully silenced Lin's mother. Lin Qi was her only son, the one she had raised since childhood.
Moreover, no matter how much a daughter is loved, she will get married, and she will still have to rely on Lin Qi in the future.
"Is it me who doesn't give her face? It's her who doesn't give me face." After a long while, Lin's mother couldn't help but say something.
Lin's mother's sister-in-law didn't want to argue with her about this topic, but frowned and talked about another thing.
"Tell Jiaojiao not to say those things outside. What would people think if they heard it? What if the Lu family heard it?"
Lin's mother heard her sister-in-law's accusations against her daughter and subconsciously helped to explain: "Jiaojiao has been spoiled by us since she was a child. She is very proud and accidentally said the wrong thing. Besides, it's nothing to say a few words. Is there any need for her to make such a big fuss?"
"Besides, her disturbance caused a conflict between the Su family's child and Jiaojiao, and the cooperation between the two families was affected."
Lin's mother's completely different attitudes towards her two children made her silent again.
Lin's mother's sister-in-law took a deep breath. Why was her sister-in-law always confused about things like this? Her tone became a little heavier: "Didn't Jiaojiao go out and talk nonsense first? How can you just talk about this casually?"
"It was Jiaojiao who refused the engagement in the first place. She cried and made a scene, and even attempted suicide. Now Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai are married and living a happy life. You should just let this matter go and don't bring it up again."
Mother Lin was still dissatisfied, and even blamed her sister-in-law: "Sister-in-law, are you also afraid of offending Lin Yan because she is married well and speak up for her?"
Lin's mother's sister-in-law was so angry that she wanted to curse, but in the end she held back and said nothing.
If she continued talking, she would be in the wrong. However, she would go back and talk to her husband about this matter. She hoped that her sister-in-law would not offend the Lu family and implicate her mother's family.
However, Lin's mother was not too outrageous. She seemed to still care about Lu Jinghuai. It was probably because of the pressure from Lin's father that she did not dare to make a scene in public.
Lin's mother was complaining to her sister-in-law, but Lin Yan had no idea and didn't care.
At around eleven o'clock, the group left the hotel. Lin's mother's birthday party was still held in the largest hotel in North City.
Lin's father had also sent out invitations to the upper-class and wealthy circles in North City. Many people came today, and most of them would give Lin's father a favor and come.
However, there are also some people who are willing to come for Lu Jinghuai's sake, because Lin's mother is Lu Jinghuai's mother-in-law.
Putting aside other things, Lu Jinghuai will most likely show up today as the son-in-law, and that will be the best opportunity to establish a good relationship.
Those in the North City business community would naturally not miss this opportunity.
Lu Jinghuai was too embarrassed to admit his shame. He was annoyed at Lin Jiao's ignorance but he had to give face to Lin Yan.
Until a familiar figure appeared at the door of the hotel, Lu Jinghuai's face softened in an instant, and many people present fell silent and looked at the Lin family members.
Song Jingya came in from outside. She was wearing a simple dress. If you didn't know her, you would think she was attending a high-end dinner.
As expected, when Song Jingya entered the door, she did not look at the host of the birthday party, the Lin family, but directly looked at Lu Jinghuai and Lin Yan on the other side.
Especially when he looked at Lin Yan, there seemed to be a hint of provocation.
Then he walked directly towards Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai.
"Are you surprised to see me?"
Lu Jinghuai also frowned slightly, as if he didn't understand why Song Jingya appeared here and directly showed up at Lin's mother's birthday party.
Song Jingya also noticed that the atmosphere was not right, but the more wrong it was, the more proud she became. Why should she let Lin Yan have an easy time?
She smiled a little more, but this time she looked at Lin Yan: "Ms. Lin, is it your Lin family's banquet that our Song family can't attend?"
Before Lin Yan could say anything, Lin Jiao, who was not far away, heard this and came over.
"Why can't Miss Song come?" Lin Jiao said confidently, "I invited Miss Song."
As soon as these words were spoken, the people around fell silent again. Some people looked at Lin's father and mother, as if they wanted to ask if Lin Jiao had a problem with her brain?
Cao Qin's expression was a little complicated, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Everyone in Beicheng knew that Song Jingya and Lu Jinghuai had a relationship in the past. Song Jingya liked Lu Jinghuai and there was even a suicide scene at the wedding.
Letting Song Jingya attend Lin's mother's birthday party would indeed embarrass Lin Yan, but Lin Yan is the daughter of the Lin family.
The others were probably laughing at the Lin family's joke. Lin's mother's sister-in-law and aunt Lin all looked unhappy.
They were all relatives of the Lin family, and it would be shameful for them to see their niece do such a stupid thing, so they curled their lips.
Lin Jiao wouldn't think that Lin Yan was the only one who suffered an awkward fate in this farce, right?
Although Father Lin's face was not very good, he did not dare to go up and offend the Song family. Although the Song family's business was not as good as the Lu family's, it was much better than the Lin family's.
Therefore, even though the situation had begun to become chaotic, he could only curse inwardly, thinking that his adopted daughter had really been spoiled by Mother Lin, what a fool.
At this moment, Lin Yan's expression was remarkably normal: "Miss Song, if you want to participate, of course you can."
[I don't feel particularly angry, I just feel it's weird.]
