Chapter 252 Slap
The entire Shao family looked somewhat haggard.
The whole family has been in turmoil lately because of Shao Ziyu's situation.
In fact, given the relationship between the Shao and Gu families, they should have arrived much earlier.
It was only because Shao Ziyu had been making a fuss before leaving home, saying that she wanted to come along to attend the Gu family's happy occasion.
Shao's parents naturally disagreed, but they simply couldn't stand Shao Ziyu's fussing.
Furthermore, if the situation continues to escalate, I might really miss the wedding banquet.
They had no choice but to agree to Shao Ziyu's request.
And before leaving, he repeatedly told her that she must not cause trouble, which is why he brought her along.
But it was clear that Shao Ziyu was not as well-behaved and obedient as she had promised before leaving home, and would not stay at the wedding banquet.
It could be said that when she learned that her parents and older brother were coming to the Gu family for their wedding banquet, she had already made up her mind to take advantage of today to escape.
In her view, her parents had absolutely no respect for her as their daughter.
They said it was for her own good, that she should marry someone of equal social standing and live a peaceful and stable life.
They just complained that Lai Jinchuan couldn't afford the bride price for them.
They raised their daughter only to exchange her for a high dowry; they were essentially treating her as a commodity to be sold for a good price.
What era are we living in? They still want to sell their daughter.
We are no longer in a feudal society where marriages are arranged by parents and matchmakers.
Shao Ziyu must have had the worst luck in eight lifetimes to be born into such a family.
It was precisely because of the resentment that filled his heart and mind.
So even though he came to attend the Gu family's wedding banquet, Shao Ziyu's face was gloomy and without a trace of a smile.
On several occasions, she even spoke deliberately, finding fault with everything, saying that this was bad or that was bad.
It was as if she hadn't come to the wedding banquet, but rather to collect a debt.
Gu's parents, who had been all smiles, became somewhat embarrassed after noticing Shao Ziyu's expression.
Although the two families are old friends, it has always been the Gu family who have been supporting the Shao family.
Especially in Gu Yanxiao's generation, it was always Gu Yanxiao who was pulling Shao Zijie along.
While these are some of the realities, we inevitably have to face reality in our interactions with others.
If it weren't for the Gu family, the Shao family would never have achieved their current status in the capital.
Fortunately, Shao Zijie is a grateful child, so his parents never hold these things against him.
But now, on their joyous occasion, Shao Ziyu is putting on such a show. Isn't this just like thorns in the hearts of Gu's parents?
They only have one precious daughter, Gu Yanfei. Who would want to be treated like this on their joyous occasion?
If it weren't for our many years of friendship, I'm afraid I would have kicked them out long ago.
"Shao Ziyu!"
Shao's father sensed the Gu family's displeasure and quickly gestured to Shao Ziyu, saying, "If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth!"
Shao Ziyu came here specifically to stir up trouble.
Hearing Shao's father say this, instead of restraining himself, he deliberately raised his voice and said, "I'm not wrong! Didn't I hear that Gu Yanfei is marrying a very famous medical professor? How come this wedding banquet is so shabby? It can't be a lie! But thinking about it, what medical professor? I've never heard of any professor in Beijing with the surname Su. Where did this Professor Su come from?"
Su Xiangwan stepped forward and said with a stern face, "The groom is my second brother. Do you have any objections?"
Since the other party was already speaking directly to Su Xiangbei, Su Xiangwan naturally couldn't pretend not to hear anymore.
Shao Ziyu's eyes widened instantly, feigning sudden realization. Pointing at Su Xiangwan, she said, "So it's your second brother! I knew it! Where did this Su guy come from? No wonder, I heard your Su family are capitalists, and they've already been liquidated by the 'tail-cutting society.' Even the Gu family was implicated and demoted a few days ago! In that case, no wonder this wedding banquet is so shabby. Your Su family must not have the money to hold a nice wedding banquet! Tsk tsk, no wonder your second brother is marrying Gu Yanfei. It turns out he can save on the bride price..."
"Shao Ziyu, shut up!"
Mr. Shao did not expect that Shao Ziyu would go too far and escalate to personal attacks.
He and Shao's mother were talking to Gu's parents when they heard what Shao Ziyu said. They wanted to interrupt her, but it was too late.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Gu, who had been all smiles, immediately turned serious and said, "Shao Ziyu, what do you mean by that?"
"Ziyu, quickly apologize to your Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu!" Shao's mother hurriedly stepped forward and took Shao Ziyu's hand, saying.
"Apologize? Why should I apologize? I'm just telling the truth! This wedding banquet was already rather shabby, why can't I say that?"
Shao Ziyu flung her mother's hand away and continued, "I was wondering what kind of family Gu Yanfei had found! Turns out, after all that choosing, she ended up with a capitalist! I really don't know what's so great about that Su woman that made her give up such a good match as my brother and choose a capitalist's lackey..."
"Smack!"
Before Shao Ziyu could finish speaking, Su Xiangwan stepped forward and slapped her hard across the face.
"Ah!" Shao Ziyu hadn't expected Su Xiangwan to choose to slap her face directly.
Only after feeling a burning sensation on her face did she belatedly cover her face, looking at Su Xiangwan in disbelief, and said, "You, what right do you have to hit me?"
"Just because of what you just said!" Su Xiangwan looked at Shao Ziyu with icy eyes.
Her second brother shed blood and sweat for his country.
Putting aside everything else, there was the last mission to escort those experts and professors back to China.
If she hadn't realized something was wrong, she wouldn't have made the decisive decision to go out to sea to find him.
Even if he hadn't died from the grenade he detonated, he wouldn't have been able to come back alive from those people, and would have had to endure even more unimaginable suffering.
Her second brother was an unsung hero.
Shao Ziyu, a pampered young lady who grew up in luxury, what right does she have to insult her second brother?
"Su Xiangwan, I'll fight you to the death!" Shao Ziyu had never been beaten since she was a child; her parents and older brother had never even laid a finger on her.
Now that Su Xiangwan has slapped him, how can he possibly swallow this insult!
