“Miss Ye, we were unaware of your identity before and treated you poorly. We had some misunderstandings regarding Miss Xiao Hui's matter, and we have come here today specifically to apologize to you.”
The father was very polite and picked up the gift he was carrying, intending to give it to Ye Yun.
However, there was an iron gate between him and Ye Yun.
The gift bumped against the iron gate, making a slight knocking sound that sounded extremely grating to Xing's father's ears. Embarrassed, he forced a smile.
But he didn't put the gift down.
He spoke to Ye Yun through the iron gate, seemingly telling her silently that he should let her in first.
"Old Xing! What are you doing?"
However, before Ye Yun could make a move, Xing's mother, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand it anymore and tugged hard at Xing's father's clothes.
Xing's mother's eyes were full of disappointment and frustration. She kept giving her husband meaningful glances, urging him to look at Tian Xiaohui who was standing next to Ye Yun.
With their future daughter-in-law backing them up, why are they so afraid?
Give her some face and that's enough.
Tian Xiaohui knew perfectly well how much she wanted to marry their son.
Thinking of this, Xing's mother forced a somewhat amiable smile, reached her arm through the iron gate to grab Ye Yun's arm, and said with a smile on her face, as if she were very familiar with Ye Yun, "Sister-in-law Xiao Hui, we've known each other for a long time, so please don't stand on ceremony!"
After saying that, she turned her attention to Tian Xiaohui, saying with a hint of reproach, "Xiaohui, you're such a child. You didn't even properly introduce your sister-in-law to me. It's so embarrassing to have caused such a big misunderstanding."
"This is all Xiaohui's fault. The child is so immature. Sister-in-law Xiaohui, please don't be angry, right, Xiaohui?"
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Tian Xiaohui.
Tian Xiaohui dared not not speak up for her, after all, this was a major matter concerning whether Tian Xiaohui could marry into the Xing family.
However, the next second...
"Hey, you old witch, who are you glaring at?"
Tian Xiaohui slapped away Xing's mother's hand, which was about to grab Ye Yun's arm, and reached out from the railing gate, pushing it mercilessly towards Xing's mother.
Caught off guard by the push, Xing's mother staggered back several steps.
After she finally managed to stand up and understand what Tian Xiaohui said, she looked at Tian Xiaohui in disbelief, her eyes widening in surprise.
"You think I'm immature? Who do you think you are? It's one thing for my mother to say I'm immature, but what right do you have to say that! If you're here to apologize, then apologize properly; otherwise, get out!"
Awesome!
Tian Xiaohui felt relieved.
She doesn't need to consider Xing Yujie's feelings; she can openly confront these people!
Xing's mother was completely shocked.
If she was only surprised when Tian Xiaohui attacked her earlier, hearing Tian Xiaohui's words now made her feel like she had seen a ghost in broad daylight!
"Tian Xiaohui, is this how your family raised you? How dare you lay a hand on me?"
"So what if I hit you? You reached out your hand first. What if you tried to push my sister-in-law? Can't I even defend myself?" Tian Xiaohui put her hands on her hips, snorted, and was quite arrogant.
This made Ye Yun laugh.
This little girl, it turns out she dragged her here to teach Xing's mother a lesson.
“You… this…” Xing’s mother was repeatedly rebuked, clutching her chest, leaning against Xing’s father’s chest, almost unable to breathe.
She couldn't believe that the person who wanted to marry her son just a few days ago had become so fierce. Did she no longer want to marry into their family?
"Old Xing, take a look..."
Xing's mother tugged at Xing's father's clothes, hoping he would stand up for her and make her future daughter-in-law respect her as her mother-in-law.
However, Xing's father's attention was no longer on Xing's mother at this moment. The humiliation his mother was suffering was far less important to him than his future. He picked up where Tian Xiaohui left off, saying, "Yes, we are here today to apologize."
He patted the gifts in his hand and said with a smile, "Miss Ye, why don't we go inside and talk? The sun is about to get very strong, your health is important, don't stay in the sun any longer."
No wonder he's a seasoned official.
She has a pleasant voice.
Unfortunately, Ye Yun wasn't buying it.
"Say what you have to say right here. We've had a lot of unpleasantness between us, and I'm sure you're well aware of that, Lao Xing," Ye Yun said with a smile.
What was meant as a joke sounded incredibly harsh to Xing's father.
But he had no grounds to argue, so he resignedly put down the gifts in his hands and said earnestly, "Miss Ye, I was unaware of your identity before and offended you greatly. I, Xing, have come here specifically to apologize for what my wife did to you. If you can forgive us, we will do whatever you ask in the future. Is that alright?"
That's it.
Ye Yun scratched the back of her head and clicked her tongue: "Old Xing, do you really think there will ever be a day when I need your help? If that day really comes, what I can't do, you can do?"
That's not what I meant.
Mr. Xing quickly tried to explain, saying with a wry smile, "Miss Ye, you should understand what I mean. Stop toying with me."
Ye Yun scoffed coldly upon hearing this.
Before she could speak, Xing's mother suddenly said as if enlightened, "Yes, yes, yes, as long as you forgive us, we'll do anything you ask. Besides, Xiaohui and Xiaojie are not young anymore. They want to get married. I'll go back with his father and we'll make preparations. We'll definitely marry Xiaohui in a grand and glorious way!"
Now that things have come to this, she finally understands Tian Xiaohui's stance.
She couldn't count on Tian Xiaohui anymore.
It's not that Tian Xiaohui wants to marry into their family, it's that their family is asking for her hand in marriage!
Tian Xiaohui rolled her eyes. "Who would want to marry into your Xing family? With a mother-in-law like you, there wouldn't be enough beams in your house for people to hang themselves!"
