Chapter 223 Protecting one's own makes the old man sick.
Old Master Chi was very displeased upon hearing this and frowned as he spoke.
"Yanzhou's wife, who are you throwing your chopsticks at?"
"No matter how harsh your second aunt's words are, she is still your second aunt, your elder. How can you be so rude to your elder?"
"Quickly, apologize to your second aunt," Old Master Chi scolded.
Li Cuiwei covered her face in agreement: "Dad, I really didn't mean to upset Yan Zhou's wife. I just spoke my mind."
"Yanzhou's accident has really scared us all. We all know that my sister-in-law is in tears every day."
"Now that Yan Zhou has finally woken up, I'm thinking that if he and Xiao Huan can have a child of their own soon, my elder brother and sister-in-law can hold their grandson soon and enjoy the life of being surrounded by their grandchildren."
Zhang Xianya sneered upon hearing this: "What business is it of yours to meddle in my family's affairs?"
"Your Zhenghao also works in the military, and his missions are very dangerous. Why don't you focus your energy on him?"
"If you want to live a life of luxury and doting on your grandchildren, then you should find someone for your Zhenghao first and get him married. You haven't even had a good life yourself, why are you worrying about me?"
Li Cuiwei was so embarrassed by Zhang Xianya's words that she wanted to disappear into thin air, and her face turned bright red.
Xia Yuhuan secretly gave Zhang Xianya a thumbs up.
Mom is awesome! Mom is amazing!
When Zhang Xianya saw Xia Yuhuan's subtle movements and silent lip-reading, she almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
She held back.
At a time like this, she can't be all smiles and jokes. If someone sees her laughing and thinks she doesn't care about Xia Yuhuan as her daughter-in-law, they might bully her later. That would be infuriating.
Grandpa Chi frowned and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, how can you speak so rudely?"
"You know perfectly well that's not what the second son's wife meant."
"Besides, the issue we're discussing now is your daughter-in-law's disrespect for her elders, and she needs to apologize to her second aunt. What right do you have to interfere?"
"Yanzhou's wife, hurry up and apologize to your second aunt. Once you apologize, this matter will be over."
Chi Yanzhou, who had been silent until now, spoke up calmly at this moment: "Did my wife say or do something wrong? Why is she apologizing?"
"We won't apologize."
Without any hesitation, Chi Yanzhou took Xia Yuhuan's hand in front of everyone.
"She is my wife. She married me when I was at the lowest point in my life. I have wronged her."
Now that I'm awake, I can no longer allow anyone to bully her.
“My wife did nothing wrong today, and no one can force her to bow her head and apologize for something she did not do wrong.”
Chi Yanzhou's voice was extremely cold, showing no respect whatsoever to Old Master Chi.
Grandpa Chi was so angry that his face turned red.
Privately, Chi Shaokang and his son Chi Yanzhou didn't listen to him and embarrassed him.
Right now, it's Chi Rui-de's 60th birthday celebration.
In front of so many outsiders, Chi Yanzhou directly embarrassed him, which infuriated Old Master Chi.
Chi Yanzhou had no intention of further provoking Old Master Chi.
He looked at Li Cuiwei and said calmly, "Second Aunt, my mother is right. Zhenghao and I are both soldiers, and we may face dangerous missions at any time. If you really care, you should worry about him more."
"After all, I'm already married, while Zhenghao doesn't even have a girlfriend yet."
"You don't focus your attention on your own child, but instead you focus all your attention on me and my wife. What, are you trying to give me and my wife maternal love?"
Upon hearing this, Li Cuiwei's face flushed red with anger.
Chi Shaoning, who was standing to the side, was furious.
But unfortunately, it was Li Cuiwei who started the trouble first. When she couldn't win the argument with Chi Yanzhou's family, it was still Li Cuiwei who made the first move. He felt ashamed to even offer to help.
But Chi Shaoning knew that if he didn't speak up, there would be more trouble today.
He hurriedly said, "Brother and sister-in-law, Yanzhou, Yanzhou's wife, I'm so sorry, my wife was happy today and drank a few too many cups. Look at her, she's starting to talk nonsense."
"I'll take her downstairs to sober up. You guys keep eating, we'll be there in a bit."
Without waiting for Li Cuiwei's struggles, Chi Shaoning pulled her up and left the banquet.
With one of the two parties at the center of the incident gone, the matter naturally stalled.
Grandpa Chi had just been calmed down by Chi Ruide and had stopped losing his temper.
Chi Yanzhou, however, was not afraid of making a big fuss.
His gaze swept over everyone present, and he said calmly, "I apologize for what happened today."
"However, I also hope to make a statement through this matter."
"That is, no matter what happens, you'd better not try anything with my wife."
"If anyone dares to make my wife suffer, I will get my revenge tenfold."
"As everyone knows, I, Chi Yanzhou, always keep my word."
As Xia Yuhuan listened to Chi Yanzhou's firm words of support and felt the warmth of his hand holding hers, a smile involuntarily spread across her lips.
Very good, she didn't fall for the wrong person. Chi Yanzhou is indeed reliable, just like his parents.
Xia Yuhuan was having a good time, but Old Master Chi, who was next to Chi Ruide, was so angry that he pointed at Chi Yanzhou and said, "You wretched child, you..."
As Grandpa Chi was speaking, he suddenly seemed to lose all his strength and slumped to the ground.
"Oh no!" Xia Yuhuan immediately stood up and ran towards Grandpa Chi.
Chi Yanzhou also quickly released Xia Yuhuan's hand, not becoming an obstacle for her at this moment.
The women present couldn't help but gasp in surprise when Old Master Chi collapsed.
Fortunately, Chi Shaokang was sitting right next to Grandpa Chi and caught him in time.
"Dad, how are you, Dad?" Chi Shaokang called out to his grandfather with a tight heart.
Xia Yuhuan hurriedly said, "Dad, please let Grandpa sit in the chair and help him while I take his pulse."
"Okay." Chi Shaokang quickly agreed and helped the old man Chi to his feet.
Xia Yuhuan quickly took Old Master Chi's pulse.
While taking his pulse, she also flipped open Old Master Chi's eyelids, pried open his upper and lower jaws, and showed him his tongue.
Then, she took out her needle kit and quickly performed acupuncture on Grandpa Chi.
Everyone present was terrified, although some felt that Xia Yuhuan's actions were inappropriate.
However, seeing that Chi Shaokang's family did not object to Xia Yuhuan's treatment of Old Master Chi, they naturally did not dare to speak up.
Not long after, Xia Yuhuan removed the needles from Grandpa Chi's body.
Old Master Chi, who had been keeping his eyes tightly closed and had a pale face, slowly opened his eyes.
He stared blankly at the crowd before him, his voice hoarse as he asked, "What's wrong with me? Why are you all looking at me like that?"
