"My family appreciates your kindness, but we like quietness." Wen Xi said calmly.
"You!" Cai Shizhen rolled her eyes in anger. "How can you talk to your elders like that? This is outrageous!"
"Okay, Mom. Xiaoxi rarely comes back. Why are you saying all this? You're just being angry. We're all family. Can't we just sit down and have a good meal?" Song Tengda pretended to try to reconcile.
"Yes, Mom, the food is almost cold. It's hard to digest if it's cold. Let's eat first." Yao Jiali also followed her husband to smooth things over.
After comforting her mother-in-law, she looked at Wen Xi and smiled, "Xiao Xi, you know your grandmother is a person who has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. In fact, she still loves you very much in her heart."
Song Qingxue didn't say anything, just lowered her head and ate silently, acting like a well-behaved child.
Wen Xi looked at the Song family's hypocritical appearance with an expressionless face, and his heart was calm.
As long as her father is around, they are good at pretending to be good people.
I'm used to it.
She didn't respond to Yao Jiali.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was a little stagnant for a moment.
Wen Chengyi put down his bowl, glanced at everyone, and finally his gaze landed on Cai Shizhen: "Mom, Afu is right. Since the child has admitted her mistake, don't say those hurtful words in the future. I believe Xiaoxi. She likes to play around, but she is not a bad person by nature. She has grown up and become sensible. If she hadn't intervened in this company matter, I'm afraid it would have been quite troublesome."
"What do you mean? I don't understand. She's just a student. How can she help the company?"
Cai Shizhen's face was full of disbelief.
Song Qingxue's eyes widened even more.
Wen Chengyi patiently explained, "Everyone knows about the recent incident at our mine. The stolen jade is massive, and the quality is among the best in the mine. If we fail to deliver on time, not only will we have to pay a large penalty, but it will also be a devastating blow to the company. But now, because Xiaoxi helped the He family, they've agreed to postpone delivery."
"Look at what you said. I thought she was so capable. The things are lost and can't be found. What's the point of delaying delivery?" Cai Shizhen stared at Mu Fu with dead eyes. "Let me be clear first. I won't be responsible for the liquidated damages. Don't try to take my son's house. Although you bought the house, it's in his name now. It will be passed on to our Xiaoxue in the future. How can she get married without some assets? She will be bullied by her husband's family."
No matter how good-tempered Mu Fu was, her face turned ugly when she heard her mother's words.
The house was given away, and she had never thought about it no matter how difficult it was. But when she heard Cai Shizhen say it so mercilessly, she felt very cold in her heart.
Cai Shizhen didn't care about her expression. She turned to look at Song Qingxue and said, "Don't worry, Xiaoxue. No one can take this house away from you. Grandma will definitely give you a grand wedding in the future."
Song Qingxue looked dazed and didn't hear what she said at all.
She didn't care about the house or not. All she could think about was what Wen Chengyi said, that Wen Xi had helped the He family.
She suddenly remembered that the man sitting opposite Wenxi in Taoran Pavilion that day was the man respectfully called "Mr. He" by the manager.
All of them have the surname He...
Could it be that the man was from the He family, and Wen Xi was helping him?
Where does this unforgettable man come from?
Song Qingxue couldn't help but ask indirectly, "I heard from my uncle that my sister helped the He family. It suddenly occurred to me that I was at a classmate's birthday party a few days ago and saw my sister having dinner in a private room with a gentleman. I think his last name was He."
