Chapter 121 My brother didn't say anything, and you're already getting all worked up.
After watching her leave, Jin Ningxi turned to Sang Qian and explained with a smile, "Mom probably drank too much tea just now, haha."
Sang Qian smiled politely in return, but didn't say anything more.
Jin Ningxi knew that Sang Qian's relationship with her mother was somewhat delicate, so she took the initiative to change the subject. After chatting for a few minutes, she said,
"Sister-in-law, is it alright if we have dinner here tonight?"
Sang Qian looked at the girl's bright smile and said, "Of course."
"Then sit down for a while, I'll go and ask Aunt Li to prepare tonight's dishes."
Jin Ningxi: "Okay."
Aunt Li just came out of the kitchen, and Sang Qian walked over to her. "Aunt Li, Ningxi and the others are having dinner here tonight. I'll have to trouble you to cook a few more dishes. Oh, just make the ones Ningxi liked last time."
"OK."
Aunt Li agreed, then, remembering something, added, "My husband just messaged me saying he'll be back to cook for you tonight. I haven't had a chance to tell him that your wife and daughter are here yet. Should I tell him now that he doesn't need to come back to cook?"
Before Sang Qian could speak, a voice came from behind her, "What? You actually dare to ask my son to cook for you?"
Sang Qian turned around and saw Jin's mother angrily walking towards her. "Sang Qian, explain yourself clearly. What do you mean by asking my son to come back and cook?"
“My son is the president of the Jin Group, the current head of the Jin family. Every minute of his time is precious. You want him to waste his time cooking for you and serving you? How dare you do that?”
Seeing her aggressive approach, Aunt Li quickly stepped in front of Sang Qian, "Madam, you've misunderstood. The master came back to cook for you because he felt sorry for you during your pregnancy."
Hearing this, Madam Jin became even angrier, as if she had finally found a reason to vent her dissatisfaction.
"Oh, so you're using the child to blackmail him."
Mrs. Jin was relentless. "Sang Qian, now that you're carrying a child from the Jin family, you dare to act so lawlessly?"
"With your lowly status, if it weren't for the old lady's kind heart and willingness to forgive, do you think you could have married into the Jin family? Now that you're pregnant with our Jin family's eldest grandson, you're getting cocky. Don't you know your own worth?"
"Let me tell you, even if you give birth to a child for the Jin family, the one with a noble status will only be my grandson, a descendant of the Jin family, not you!"
Sang Qian waited quietly until the shrew finished her tirade before speaking softly:
"Since you are a descendant of the Jin family, what are you so arrogant about?"
"Do you have the blood of the Jin family flowing through your veins?"
Are you a member of the Jin family?
"..." Jin's mother was speechless after being confronted with her three questions in a row.
"You're just a daughter-in-law the Jin family brought into the household. What right do you have to talk so arrogantly about me?"
Unexpectedly, Sang Qian would retaliate so ruthlessly and sharply. Jin's mother felt embarrassed and that her dignity as a mother-in-law had been trampled on.
Staring wide-eyed, she said in a trembling voice, "How dare you talk back and disobey your elders?"
"When elders are kind, juniors are respectful."
Sang Qian glanced at her indifferently, "You should wait until you become a qualified elder before judging other people's behavior."
Jin Ningxi, who rushed over upon hearing the noise, saw Sang Qian coldly pick up her phone and make a call before she even got close.
Three seconds later, she said coldly into the phone, "Your mother is at your house. You'll have to come back and entertain her yourself!"
After saying that, she seemed to hang up the phone without waiting for a reply.
Jin Ningxi took a deep breath; this call was meant for her brother.
Oh no, her mom's gotten into trouble again.
Jin Ningxi quickly walked up to Sang Qian, trying to smooth things over, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry..."
“I’m not angry.” Sang Qian put away her phone, her attitude towards her still gentle. “I’m sorry, Ningxi, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do tonight and need to go out, so I won’t be able to have dinner with you at home.”
Jin Ningxi was taken aback. "Oh, you're going out? Now?"
"Yes, your brother will be back soon. I'll treat you to dinner again next time."
Stunned, Mrs. Jin snapped out of her daze and said angrily, "What do you mean by this? Are you deliberately trying to make my son misunderstand that I kicked you out?"
Sang Qian found it too noisy and didn't even glance at her. She simply said goodbye to Jin Ningxi and turned to leave.
"What kind of attitude is that? You stop right there!"
Feeling ignored, Jin's mother was so angry that she tried to stop her, but Jin Ningxi stopped her, saying, "That's enough, Mom."
Aunt Li quickly followed Sang Qian out the door, anxiously advising, "Miss Sang, don't be angry. You should wait at home for your husband to come back. He will definitely stand up for you."
Sang Qian stood in the courtyard and smiled reassuringly at her, "I'm not angry. That's his mother, and I don't need him to make any decisions for me."
Aren't you angry?
Aunt Li looked at her and asked, "So... what's this?"
"Go outside for some fresh air," Sang Qian said to her. "It's better than facing that loudspeaker inside, blaring and giving me a headache."
Aunt Li was stunned for a moment before realizing that the loudspeaker she was referring to was Jin's mother, and she couldn't help but suppress her laughter.

inside the house.
Seeing her daughter blocking her way, Jin's mother was a little angry, "You brat, I'm your mother, why are you siding with her?"
"Mom, Grandma sent you here to smooth things over with your sister-in-law, and look what you've done..."
Jin Ningxi sighed, looking at her helplessly, "You should think about how you're going to face my brother later, and how you're going to explain things to Grandma when you get back."
“Last time you made your sister-in-law angry and she left home, my brother was already very angry. This time you made her angry again and she left the house. You… sigh.”
"What's wrong with me?" Jin's mother asked, her eyes wide.
"I'm doing this for him. I just don't want that woman to lord it over him. Does he expect me to blame him?"
She originally wanted to find an excuse to get revenge on Sang Qian for all the suffering she had endured over the past month, but she never expected that the woman who had always been docile and dared not contradict her would reveal her true colors after becoming pregnant.
Relying on the fact that she was pregnant, she dared to give her mother-in-law a hard time.
"Hmph, even if this matter is brought up to your grandmother, it's still her fault as the daughter-in-law. I refuse to believe that your grandmother would tolerate her for being spoiled and arrogant, ordering your brother to cook for her, and doing such outrageous things."
Her son was born into a life of luxury and privilege, the eldest son of the Jin family. How could he be tormented by a woman and forced to do the work of a servant in the kitchen?
“My brother hasn’t said anything, and you’re already getting all worked up,” Jin Ningxi said. “My brother isn’t stupid. If he doesn’t want to, can your sister-in-law force him to do something?”
"Isn't she just taking advantage of her pregnancy to cause trouble?" Jin's mother said angrily. "Besides, she doesn't even respect me, her mother-in-law, anymore."
Jin Ningxi: "I think you're the one causing trouble."
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Jin's mother was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped her on the forehead.
"Where did I lie?"
Jin Ningxi analyzed for her, "You just don't understand the difference between the big and small kings. In our family, before, the biggest person was Grandma. Two years ago, after Grandma relinquished her power, the biggest person in the family was my brother. Now that my sister-in-law is pregnant and my brother dotes on her, isn't she the biggest king in the family?"
She looked at Jin's mother, who was listening in a daze, and said, "So, Mom, I advise you to stop putting on airs as a mother-in-law. You should first figure out your place."
"If you make your sister-in-law unhappy again, you'll end up at the bottom of our family's food chain."
