Chapter 128 Betrayal? Ingratitude?
As soon as she finished speaking, Aunt Meihua quietly turned around and went back to her own house, leaving Jiang Xixi and her husband looking at each other in bewilderment.
“Daughter-in-law, what Aunt Meihua said…”
“Let’s talk about this when we get home!” Jiang Xixi interrupted Wei Laicheng and gave him a wink.
Back home, the two sat down at the dinner table, and it was Wei Laicheng who couldn't contain himself any longer.
"Wife, what did Aunt Meihua mean by that? And who are those Li family members?" Wei Laicheng went out late and didn't know about this yet.
"Who else? The one who stole your college acceptance letter."
Since no one was around, Jiang Xixi had time to ask Wei Laicheng the question that had been bothering her for so long.
"What's the story behind your acceptance letter? What address did you fill in when you applied for the university?"
Why is the address on the acceptance letter different from his home address? Was it due to Wei Laicheng's carelessness, or is someone behind this?
Thinking about the latter answer, Jiang Xixi's expression became somewhat serious.
"What? This is the address I filled in. Isn't it correct?" Wei Laicheng said, picking up the envelope in his pocket to see what was going on.
"Huainan Hutong? What's going on? I clearly wrote Huaibei Hutong!"
He stared at the address on the envelope, somewhat incredulous.
“Honey, I really wrote Huaibei Hutong. I was afraid there would be a problem, so I checked it several times. There’s definitely no mistake.”
It's important to know that although Huainan Hutong and Huaibei Hutong have similar names, they are actually worlds apart, one in the south and one in the north, separated by three hutongs including Huaihua Hutong and Qin'an Hutong. The differences between them are quite significant.
"Could it be that others didn't know the difference between these two alleys and made a mistake when copying them?" Wei Laicheng reasonably suspected.
"If it was truly an unintentional mistake, then this staff member is far too careless." The worst thing is when someone deliberately stabs you in the back.
Jiang Xixi didn't say the last sentence, but after being together for so long, Wei Laicheng could roughly understand what his wife was thinking with just a glance.
Hopefully, they're both overthinking it!
"And what Aunt Meihua just said, we've taken to heart. That Li Fang really doesn't seem like someone to be trifled with; it seems like she hates us."
Jiang Xixi reminded her.
Although Wei Laicheng wasn't entirely clear on what had happened, he had one redeeming quality: he was very obedient to his wife.
"Okay!" Wei Laicheng secretly vowed to himself that he would stay far away from that Li Fang from now on.
At this time, Wei Laicheng had no idea that this idea would soon do him a great favor and lead him to a lifelong friend!
Liu Family Old House Hall
Chen Yi was sitting on the sofa, her brows furrowed with worry.
"Jiaxin, hasn't your apprentice sent you any news these past few days? Is there still any Snow Skin Cream left? Our phone has been ringing off the hook these past few days." There was a hint of resentment in Chen Yi's tone, though not obvious, but Mrs. Jiang could clearly sense it.
Before Mrs. Jiang could say anything, Mr. Jiang, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but speak up.
"Sister-in-law, Laicheng and Xixi have just arrived in the capital. They're probably busy settling in these past few days and haven't had time to make the Snow Skin Cream. Don't worry, let the two children have some time."
"No time? Do you believe that? I certainly don't. How long have they been in Beijing? Have they spent all that time cleaning the house?"
I'm curious how big the house they bought is? I think they're just sulking about what happened last time.
"They're so petty! They let such a small thing delay our cooperation. They have absolutely no sense of the bigger picture!"
Chen Yi's initial remark had already made Master Jiang uncomfortable, but he tolerated it out of respect for his wife.
Seeing that Chen Yi was going too far, Master Jiang's anger surged up instantly.
"Sister-in-law, you should speak from your conscience. What do you mean by being petty? What do you mean by the big picture?"
Even if the two kids weren't the type to be calculating, I still think what they did was perfectly fine.
How can you be so self-righteous as to think that the two children must do what you say after doing something so shameless and hurting their feelings?
"Who gives you this confidence? You love your own children, and I love my apprentices too."
"Old Jiang!" Mrs. Jiang stared at Master Jiang in disbelief.
How could you talk to your sister-in-law like that?
Mrs. Jiang's face turned red with anger as she questioned Mr. Jiang.
"Ha, why wouldn't I dare to talk to her like that? She's already done it, why would she be afraid of what others say?"
And you, those two kids call you "teacher's wife," and they treat you almost like their own mother. Last time your sister-in-law said those things to the kids, and you just stood there and watched.
Liu Jiaxin, I really misjudged you!
Mrs. Jiang was furious, but Mr. Jiang was even more furious.
God knows how angry and incredulous he was after hearing about it from someone else.
"I……"
Speaking of this, Liu Jiaxin also felt guilty and wanted to refute Master Jiang, but after circling the words on her lips a few times, she finally swallowed them back.
She knew that what she did last time was not right and had hurt the two children, so she could understand why they hadn't come to see her recently.
Mrs. Jiang had originally planned to visit the two children in Huaibei Hutong in two days to explain what had happened last time.
To her surprise, before she even arrived, her sister-in-law pulled this stunt again.
Chen Yi's expression turned quite pleasant after hearing what Master Jiang said.
A mixture of blue and purple hues, nothing more.
His lips trembled with anger; he was truly furious.
When people get angry, they can't think straight and may do or say things that can't be taken back.
"Where did I go wrong? It's clearly Jiang Xixi who's being unreasonable. The Snow Skin Cream was supposed to be a collaboration between us, but everyone knows that she and her husband are taking advantage of the Liu family."
"If it weren't for the Liu family, who would know what Snow Skin Cream is? Who would know who Jiang Xixi is?"
"She not only doesn't appreciate our Liu family's influence, but she also dares to bully my daughter. In my opinion, she's an ungrateful and treacherous villain!"
Chen Yi even stood up while speaking, and her voice was very loud; after she finished speaking, there was even an echo in the hall.
"You—" Master Jiang was almost laughing in anger at Chen Yi's words.
How come he never noticed before that his sister-in-law was so unreasonable and irrational?
Did Jiang Xixi take advantage of the Liu family?
It's more likely that the Liu family got the better deal from Xixi.
Leaving aside distant examples, just consider how many collaborations and connections the Snow Skin Cream has secretly brought to the Liu family. I don't know how my sister-in-law has the nerve to say such things.
"It seems Aunt Chen has been dissatisfied with our cooperation for a long time. How about this, we will not take advantage of your Liu family anymore, and our cooperation will end here!"
After all, I can't bear the stigma of ingratitude and betrayal!
