Xu Huaiyuan glanced at the figure casually, and his eyes were suddenly fixed on a figure.
Wang Chungui was still fantasizing about how capable her son was, how he could show off in the future, and how he could make Jiang Tong furious and then trample on her annoying new daughter-in-law!
Seeing that both the father and son were watching TV, she muttered, "What TV show is so interesting? Neither of you is paying attention to me. Let me see!"
As soon as Wang Chungui finished speaking, she saw a familiar, pretty face locked onto the TV screen—Jiang Tong?
She immediately exclaimed in surprise, "What?! How did Jiang Tong end up on TV?!"
How is that possible?
Xu Shengfu couldn't help but exclaim, "What is Jiang Tong doing now? How is she able to go on stage to accept an award? Wow, she's really amazing! After not seeing her for a while, she's really made something of herself. She's dressed like a celebrity!"
After saying that, she felt uneasy again. She wasn't his daughter-in-law anymore, so she said sourly, "A woman should be a virtuous wife and loving mother. I think she was right before, staying at home to take care of her husband and children, and managing her own little family well. Now she's pretty, but she looks like a vixen. Who is she dressing up so beautifully for? It's really outrageous..."
Wang Chungui stared intently at Jiang Tong, who was particularly dazzling on the television screen. Just as her husband had said, she was as beautiful and radiant as a big star.
But she was feeling incredibly frustrated, so she yelled, "Change the channel! Seeing her brings bad luck! Now that life is better, she doesn't even care about people like us anymore! She's even corrupted the children; they don't recognize us anymore!"
As Wang Chungui was speaking, she reached for the remote control, but Xu Huaiyuan snatched it away. He held the remote control in his hand, his eyes fixed on Jiang Tong.
There were many people receiving awards on stage, but she still stood out. Standing there, she wasn't intimidated at all. She was completely different from the Jiang Tong of the past, and seemed quite unfamiliar.
Xu Huaiyuan's eyes stung from staring, but the dazzling Jiang Tong no longer belonged to him.
Seeing her son like this, Wang Chungui didn't dare to snatch the remote control from his hand. Instead, she couldn't help but curse at Jiang Tong on TV, "That damned thing! She's ruined our family and made Huaiyuan look like this! Don't tell me you can't bear to part with her. I'm telling you, I definitely won't take this daughter-in-law back! I only want Peipei back!"
Xu Shengfu was looking at the screen full of beautiful women, squinting as he ate peanuts. He seemed more open-minded than his wife and son. "You don't want her? I think she's already climbed up the social ladder. Do you think she'd turn back?"
He thought to himself that Jiang Tong wouldn't be coming back.
Who would come back when they have a good life?
His simple-minded wife is too stubborn.
Wang Chungui immediately launched into a tirade against her husband, "What? You're going to praise her again?! Who's on your side? All you do all day is talk good things about Jiang Tong!"
Xu Shengfu wanted to fight Wang Chungui again, but seeing that his son was ultimately considering his feelings, he stopped arguing with her. "If you keep yelling, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Wang Chungui became somewhat afraid.
Xu Huaiyuan told them to stop making trouble and stop talking nonsense. "Especially you, Mom, if your nonsense gets out, our family will really be in trouble. I'm just taking care of Ke Rou now, so don't drag me and Jiang Tong into this anymore, understand?"
His eyes were so cold that they stunned his parents.
In the end, he nodded in agreement.
Wang Chungui was a little afraid of his son, after all, he had never seen him look so bad. Xu Shengfu, of course, wouldn't argue with Xu Huaiyuan because of the need for living expenses, so he told his son to rest assured.
“I’m keeping an eye on your mom. If she dares to go out and act crazy again, I’ll definitely teach her a lesson.”
Wang Chungui's expression turned even more unpleasant.
The family of three were speechless, staring at Jiang Tong's figure on the television screen, lost in thought.
Xu Huaiyuan held the remote control.
The two elders could only watch with him, but although the awards ceremony was very long, Jiang Tong only had a short time on screen. She only had a few more shots than others, and then she was gone, and other people took the stage.
Xu Huaiyuan, however, remained staring at the television, seemingly lost in thought. Finally, he stood up and said he had to go home. "Mom and Dad, you can go ahead. I'm going home now. Ke Rou is waiting for me. She'll start nagging me if I go home too late."
Xu Shengfu immediately nodded, "Okay, then you should go back now!"
Wang Chungui couldn't help but mutter, "Only you can put up with her spoiled princess temper. You're always worried that something might go wrong with her. I don't think Ke Rou can find such a good man besides you!"
She found her son pleasing to the eye no matter what; he was truly handsome.
Xu Huaiyuan was in a very bad mood.
He left without saying a word, ignoring his mother seeing him off, and walked towards the parking lot without looking back, encountering some nosy neighbors along the way.
She said to him with a grin, "I heard Jiang Tong was on TV? Did you know? She's so beautiful now!!"
Xu Huaiyuan almost lost his composure. He knew these neighbors didn't get along with his mother and were deliberately trying to embarrass him, but he could only force a smile and say, "Really? I didn't know. Congratulations to her."
The neighbor lady then chuckled sarcastically, "Oh my, it's rare to find an ex-husband as magnanimous as you, Huaiyuan. Most people would love for their ex-husband and ex-wife to be living in poverty and hardship, but you are truly magnanimous!"
Xu Huaiyuan smiled but didn't say anything. When he turned around, his face turned frighteningly gloomy.
He thought through gritted teeth.
Jiang Tong, you're really great! You're getting better and better, more and more outstanding.
Is she trying to tell everyone that she's doing just fine without him?
It slapped him straight in the face.
Xu Huaiyuan decided that he would not return to this neighborhood for a long time.
Because I don't want to run into those gossipy neighbors again.
He drove for a long time, and then got stuck in traffic, which made him feel really bad.
In the end, I couldn't resist honking the horn repeatedly.
He even got yelled at by the older guy driving next to him, who asked him, "What are you pressing? Are you in a hurry to be reborn?! You're making so much noise!"
Xu Huaiyuan gripped the steering wheel, wanting to yell back, but then he thought about how in this day and age, he could easily be photographed and criticized online if he wasn't careful, so he could only close the car window and suppress his anger.
In the end, I couldn't resist punching the steering wheel a few times, my hands turning bright red.
His eyes were red with anger.
But before arriving at his in-laws' house, he parked the car and struggled to calm himself down for a long time before finally managing a smile as he went upstairs.
When he opened the door, he saw his mother-in-law waiting for him on the sofa with a long face.
Xu Huaiyuan's heart skipped a beat again.
Mrs. Ke crossed her arms and scolded her son-in-law, "Where are you gallivanting off to? You know Rou Rou is pregnant, you should have come home earlier from get off work! I really don't know what Rou Rou sees in you? You have no ability, you're not considerate at all. If you continue like this, you really have no reason to exist!"
Just then, Mr. Ke came out with a cup of coffee. Seeing this, he gave his son-in-law a disapproving look and said, "You just got back? You should pay more attention to Rou Rou. No wonder your mother is criticizing you."
Xu Huaiyuan could only play the submissive role, forcing a smile, "I was working overtime and that's why I came home late. I promise it won't happen again next time. Mom and Dad, please calm down."
