Just as Chen Xihua and her three siblings were about to get up and leave, someone suddenly asked, "Whose daughters are these? They're quite pretty. Especially the eldest one, does she have a boyfriend?"
It was a young man's voice, with a flippant and flirtatious tone.
The person he was referring to was the third sister, Chen Meihua. Since the second sister, Chen Jinhua, was still attending classes at school, Chen Meihua was the oldest among the four.
"Aunt Chen, won't you introduce her?" At this moment, a woman in her forties or fifties asked, looking at Aunt Chen.
This woman looks a bit like the young man from before; they must be mother and son.
Chen Xihua glanced at these people as she passed by.
The table we just sat at was occupied by the bride's maternal grandparents and uncles, including her aunts and cousins. They were being received by Aunt Chen.
Li Xiaoling's family members were personally entertained by her aunt Wang Fen, who sat at the main table talking to them.
“My dear in-laws, those are my second brother’s children. Apart from the two eldest daughters who are not here, these are the four younger ones.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaogu immediately spoke up, smiling as she explained to the woman who had just asked the question.
The woman's surname was Xue, and she was Li Xiaoling's maternal aunt. The first person to ask a question was her nineteen-year-old son, Huang Tianming, who was also Li Xiaoling's cousin.
"Meihua, Xiaosi, you guys come over here for a moment and meet your eldest cousin's aunt's family." Although Aunt Chen was a little reluctant, seeing the Huang family's intentions, she had no choice but to beckon Chen Xihua and the others over.
Meanwhile, Chen Meihua had already tensed up when she heard the man's voice, and moved slightly closer to her younger sister, Xiao Wu. Now, hearing her aunt's call, she twisted her arms tightly, feeling extremely resistant; she didn't want to go over.
Moreover, the man with the brownish-yellow hair had a malicious look on his face as he stared intently at his sisters.
Chen Xihua frowned slightly. Without even looking around, she knew that many people in the living room were looking at them, so she could only walk ahead and greet those people. "Hello."
"Hello, sisters of the Chen family. My name is Huang Tianming. Let's get acquainted. This must be Meihua. As expected, her name is just as beautiful as she is."
Huang Tianming winked at Chen Meihua, grinning and tossing his brown hair, trying to look cool with a carefree attitude. He took a step forward, leaned closer to Chen Meihua, and sized her up.
"Little Five!" Third Sister Chen Meihua immediately dodged to the right of her little sister, Little Five.
"Trash, rubbish!" Chen Xihua was angry, her face darkening.
"Tianming, speak properly." Although Aunt Xue from the Huang family was scolding her son and seemed to be blaming him, she was all smiles and didn't think her son had done anything wrong.
Moreover, Aunt Xue looked at the Chen siblings meaningfully, her gaze mainly fixed on Chen Meihua, with a hint of disdain. It was as if she were saying, "She's just a prettier vixen."
Chen Meihua and Chen Xiuhua were both a little embarrassed and blushed because of the Huang family, while Chen Baohua was already very frustrated and her face was also red. Just as she was about to speak, Chen Xihua spoke first in a calm tone.
"Your name is quite good, Tianming. You should know your place and be aware of your own limitations."
"Pfft... Who is this little girl talking? It's hilarious." Someone burst out laughing.
"Shh...don't speak, this is Chen Lao Er's son, Chen Xiao Wu, don't mess with him." The one who spoke in a low voice was one of the workers from the textile factory who had been invited by Uncle Chen. He knew a little about the inside story of Chen Lao Er's family.
"You brat, what are you saying?" Huang Tianming's face turned ugly instantly, and he glared angrily at Chen Xihua.
Don't think he doesn't hit women. Even though this girl is quite pretty, she's still just a young, inexperienced girl.
"That's right, Aunt Chen, the girls in your Chen family are so rude." Aunt Xue from the Huang family also looked very angry and wanted to get an explanation from Aunt Chen.
"Hehe, Auntie-in-law, Xiao Wu is still a child, don't take it too seriously." Aunt Chen smiled and smoothed things over. She knew how sharp-tongued Xiao Wu was, and she couldn't directly criticize her niece.
"That blond uncle is so rude. Doesn't he know there's a difference between men and women? He should keep a certain distance from girls and shouldn't stare at them directly. That's really rude."
It was the righteous and stern voice of a boy around ten years old. Chen Baohua had already stepped forward, head held high, chest out, serious and earnest, and also quite angry.
Chen Baohua felt that he was a man, the only younger brother in the family, and he had to come out and protect his older sisters.
"Hahaha... This kid's not bad, he even knows to protect his sister." Someone chimed in at this point.
"You brat, you gotta get a beating." Huang Tianming saw that it was just a little kid who dared to curse him like that, and the people around him were starting to look at him strangely. He immediately raised his hand, ready to step forward and push Chen Baohua away.
"Try it if you dare!" Chen Xihua's icy voice rang out.
"Xiao Liu..." Chen Meihua and Chen Xiuhua called out simultaneously, also tense.
In the blink of an eye, Chen Xihua had already stepped forward, pulled Chen Xiaoliu behind her, and then stood firmly in front of Huang Tianming, her eyes slightly narrowed as she stared at him.
Huang Tianming slowly lowered his raised hand, startled, and quickly took two steps back. Aunt Xue also went to her son's side, supporting him, glaring at Chen Xihua, and even more furiously wanted to curse.
Interrupted by Chen Xihua's cold voice,
"You Huang family members are polite, but you come to the Chen family to cause trouble?"
As if they hadn't seen a woman in ages, do they stare intently at any female, as if they couldn't wait to pounce on her?
If this had happened ten or twenty years ago, they would have arrested your son on charges of hooliganism.
"What are you saying, you little brat?" Aunt Xue suddenly became furious and embarrassed.
"Fifth Sister, aren't you leaving? You should go home first." At this moment, Aunt Wang Fen, who had already noticed something was wrong, quickly came over to persuade Chen Xihua and the others to leave first.
Is this Chen Xiaowu someone anyone can mess with? Don't ruin your son's marriage.
"In-laws, what do you mean? Your Chen family's younger generation insulted our Huang family, and you think you can just leave like this?"
Aunt Xue was very unhappy. She thought that Wang Fen had come to speak up for the Huang family and that these brats should at least apologize. Why did she let them leave?
"Dad, come here for a second." Chen Xihua frowned, already very impatient. She didn't want to argue with someone in front of so many people; wouldn't that just be a spectacle for them to watch?
Moreover, he and his siblings are still the younger generation.
So she looked up and started looking for Chen Lao Er, who was drinking enthusiastically with guests at another table.
"Who, who called me... It's Xiao Wu, I'm here." Chen Lao Er also heard someone calling him and felt that the voice sounded familiar. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Xiao Wu. He knew that something must have happened.
He quickly got up, staggered a bit, pushed aside the people in front of him, and came to Chen Xihua's side.
"Xiao Wu, what's wrong?"
"My aunt knows, Dad. You can ask her. My eldest aunt is here too. Let's see what they say. We'll be leaving now." This kind of thing requires Chen Lao Er to handle.
After speaking expressionlessly, Chen Xihua turned around and left with her two older sisters and Chen Xiaoliu.
Chen Xihua had a pretty good grasp of Chen Lao Er's personality. Recently, his true nature had been fully revealed. In his youth, he was probably a good-for-nothing, idle, and immature teenager, shameless and shameless enough to be a rogue, and he was somewhat useful. But he wasn't the kind of person who was cunning, deceitful, or committed all sorts of evil deeds.
Chen Xihua was quite relieved and summoned Chen Lao Er to confront the Huang family.
"What? Did your Huang family bully my daughter?" Chen Lao Er was very perceptive and didn't even listen to what Chen Xiao Gu was about to say, wondering what had happened.
