Chapter 146 Who do you think you are?
When they arrived at the hall, everyone saw Grandma and Jiang Yichen and stood up to greet them respectfully.
"Old lady."
However, when their eyes turned to me, their attitudes took a 180-degree turn, and their words were full of sarcasm. Some even said directly: "Madam, the Gu family is no longer the same as before. It is not appropriate for them to stay here."
I have long been accustomed to such sarcasm and ridicule. Although I feel sad in my heart, I always remain calm on the surface.
I thought that Jiang Yichen brought me here just to humiliate me in front of everyone, so I chose to remain silent, without refutation, and just stood aside with my head lowered.
To my surprise, grandma couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
She severely reprimanded those who spoke rudely to me, with an unquestionable dignity in her tone: "She is my granddaughter-in-law and Jiang Yichen's wife. You should have at least some respect and kindness towards her."
Then, she looked at Jiang Yichen again, glared at him, and taught him kindly: "Jiang Yichen, you must also learn to protect your wife and not let her suffer any grievances."
Grandma's words were like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart.
The hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at grandma in shock, as if they couldn't believe that she would stand up for an outsider like me.
As for Jiang Yichen, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes and he nodded silently.
I looked at my grandma and a warm feeling surged in my heart.
The next second, Jiang Yichen pulled me to his side.
He looked at everyone present with cold eyes, and said calmly and firmly: "Whoever makes things difficult for my wife is making things difficult for me, Jiang Yichen."
When the aunt heard this, she immediately jumped out and said, "Mom, have you forgotten how she bullied Yichen in the first place?"
"And last time, you wanted to see her and waited for a whole night, but she didn't come. It's obvious that you don't think highly of us."
…
I watched her talk endlessly about my past "crimes", saying how much I looked down on the Jiang family and Jiang Yichen.
Her words were harsh, obviously trying to provoke me. If my grandma and Jiang Yichen hadn't been there, she would probably have come up and hit me.
I looked down at the ground, and her words went in one ear and out the other, and I pretended not to hear them.
But grandma couldn't listen any longer. She interrupted aunt angrily, with unquestionable authority in her voice: "Don't talk nonsense here. The couple has a good relationship and there is no divorce at all."
My grandmother’s words warmed my heart, but also made me feel more guilty.
Because I know that my marriage with Jiang Yichen has long been dead in name only.
At this time, Mr. Jiang also came over. He shook his head helplessly and said to grandma: "Mom, I have told you many times that Yichen and her are divorced. Why can't you remember it?"
His words made the atmosphere even more tense, and grandma's face became increasingly ugly.
She covered her chest and looked at Jiang Yichen and me, as if asking us to confirm whether what they said was true.
The corners of my mouth moved, and I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say it.
Suddenly, grandma's body shook and it looked like she was having a heart attack.
I was so nervous, afraid something might happen to my grandma: "Grandma."
Jiang Yichen's expression immediately changed. He turned cold and shouted to everyone present: "Shut up!"
He quickly pushed his grandmother back to the room.
I was alone, abandoned in the spacious and indifferent hall, surrounded by people who looked at me with unwelcome eyes.
The aunt sneered and said, "Humph, look at how miserable you are. You still think you are the eldest daughter of the Gu family!"
"If I were her, I would have found a hole in the ground to crawl into."
"Have you seen the recent news? She's been entangled with several boys."
"I saw it too. She even went to a hotel with a male internet celebrity."
…
The other relatives also echoed each other, and their words were full of contempt and disdain.
I stood there, my shoulders trembling slightly, I gritted my teeth and sneered: "Hehe, if you leave your family and your family background, what are you?"
Old Master Jiang shouted angrily: "How dare you! Your current status is not as good as before, so be careful with your words!"
The auntie even walked forward shoving me with a smug look on her face, and said viciously: "You little bitch, you not only ruined such an important occasion for me today, but also pissed off the old lady. I will punish you."
During the scuffle, the jade pendant my grandmother gave me was accidentally exposed.
The aunt quickly grabbed my wrist, and after carefully examining it, she immediately pointed at me and yelled, "Well, you thief! How dare you steal my jade pendant!"
I pushed her away and argued, "You're talking nonsense. This was given to me by my grandma. You can't wrongly accuse me!"
But the aunt and the others turned a deaf ear, and the aunt cursed even more harshly.
"I said your family has fallen on hard times, but you're still holding on to Yichen. It turns out you're doing it for money!"
"You little bitch, you dare to steal things."
…
My hand was hurt by her drilling, and I said anxiously: "Jiang Yichen was also there at the time, just wait for Jiang Yichen to come and ask him!"
But Mr. Jiang and Auntie didn't give me any chance and directly ordered, "Come here, arrest her for me, and call the police after the banquet."
"I didn't, you are illegally imprisoning me, let me go."
I struggled hard, but to no avail. I was controlled by them, and my heart was filled with helplessness and despair.
I was detained in the nanny's room that had been unused for a long time, isolated from the outside world, and even deprived of a mobile phone to contact the outside world.
I banged on the door of the nanny's room and called out loudly, "Jiang Yichen, Jiang Yichen."
But the music downstairs was so loud and there was so much noise that no one paid any attention to my shouts.
I sat on the ground dejectedly, closing my eyes and muttering weakly: "Jiang Yichen..."
While I was worried about my grandmother's condition, I was also hoping that Jiang Yichen would send me a letter as soon as possible.
upstairs
After taking the quick-acting heart-saving pills, grandma's heart rate quickly stabilized.
Jiang Yichen then realized that Gu Mo was missing. He frowned and walked downstairs.
He looked around and didn't see Gu Mo. He saw the middle-aged woman and Mr. Jiang who were entertaining people and walked over.
"Where's Gu Mo?"
The aunt pretended to be relaxed, with a barely perceptible sneer on her lips, and said, "Oh, her, she just left in anger because I said a few words to her."
Mr. Jiang also said unhappily: "Xiaochen, why did you invite such an ignorant person to such an important occasion?"
"Also, don't forget that you are engaged to Lin Nan. Get rid of the messy woman around you as soon as possible."
