Chapter 124 You are utterly despicable!
Xie Jinghuai was handsome but aloof.
"A hairpin? What kind of hairpin is worth two hundred million?"
The old lady frowned in confusion. "What's so special about jade? It's just a stone after all. Your grandfather gave me several boxes of gold, jade, and jadeite from the time we got married until he died. They're all sitting in the warehouse. Among them are many antiques from the Ming and Qing dynasties, none of which are worth two hundred million."
Grandma and Grandpa also experienced a passionate love affair when they were young. Grandma came from a family of folk artists. She was the youngest daughter in the family who was not valued the most, but she grew up to be beautiful and charming, with both talent and beauty.
My grandparents first met at a wedding in Beijing, where they were well-connected. My grandfather was the best man and my grandmother was the best woman. Their eyes met by chance, and their fate was sealed.
At that time, the Xie family patriarch was dissatisfied with his grandmother's background, saying that she was from the lowest class, that actors were unrighteous, and that she should not even think about marrying into a higher social class.
To marry his grandmother, his grandfather knelt in the ancestral hall, went on a hunger strike, went mad, vomited blood... He nearly died from all the suffering, and finally, the old man Xie reluctantly agreed.
With the three letters and six rites, wearing a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, he carried his grandmother and entered the Xie family's door with dignity.
Grandma was the apple of Grandpa's eye. He would give her anything, not just gold and silver, but his life.
Therefore, Grandma couldn't tolerate Lin Zhixin.
Having experienced such profound and pure emotions, she couldn't bear to see anything dirty under her nose.
"Originally, it wasn't this expensive, but my brother got carried away and acted impulsively for the sake of a woman."
Xie Yuexi said sarcastically, "Someone was competing with my brother, adding up to thirty million at a time. In order to win the bid, my brother ended up setting off a sky lantern."
Grandma, you didn't see it! The place was in an uproar, both inside and outside the venue. In Beijing, if my brother sets his sights on someone, no one can beat him.
Song Xiewen felt a chill run down his spine and quickly gave her a meaningful look, but she ignored it.
"oh?!"
The old lady felt that her rascal grandson had finally come to his senses, and her face lit up with joy. "Jinghuai, did you bid on that hairpin to give to Ayuan?"
After all, Ah Yuan had only recently suffered a miscarriage. The brat isn't a bad person, so it's understandable that he feels guilty towards his wife.
Xie Jinghuai's face was somber, his thin lips pressed tightly together.
Just as he was wondering how to answer, Xie Yuexi preemptively spoke:
"Of course not, Grandma. My brother spent a fortune to buy the hairpin, naturally to give it to Zhixin."
The old lady was shocked and stared in disbelief. "What?!"
"Yuexi, you talk too much nonsense." Xie Jinghuai's eyes revealed a hint of malice.
He never thought there was anything wrong with spending 200 million on a hairpin and giving it to Lin Zhixin.
But Xie Yuexi knew perfectly well that her grandmother didn't like Zhixin, yet she insisted on bringing it up in front of her grandmother, which would only put Zhixin in a very difficult position.
She talks such a big mouth!
With a loud crack—!
The old lady was furious and smashed the teacup in her hand on the ground!
Porcelain cup shards flew everywhere, and tea splashed all over Xie Jinghuai, turning his neat and crisp suit into a disheveled mess.
The man suddenly stood up, "Grandma, you—!"
"Xie Jinghuai! You are utterly despicable!"
The old lady's thin body trembled. "You didn't even water your own garden, and you went to feed someone else's chickens! Are you out of your mind or have you lost your mind?!"
If your grandfather were still alive, he would definitely have used family discipline on you, beating you until your skin was torn and you couldn't get off the bed!
"It's rare for Zhixin to ask for anything, so why can't I grant her request this time?"
Xie Jinghuai brushed the water off his body, his phoenix eyes filled with agitation. "If Zhixin hadn't saved me back then, you would have been burying your child long ago, let alone enjoying the joys of family life!"
Over the years, Zhixin has never asked me for anything on her own initiative. This time, she asked for the first time, so how could I refuse?
"Heh... She doesn't open her mouth because she doesn't need to. You just happily gather all the good things and feed them to her!"
The old lady trembled uncontrollably. "She has been scheming and eyeing the position of the young mistress of the Xie family. She took advantage of the high level of attention this auction has received, which is why she asked you for it! She also calculated that you would do everything you could to satisfy her, and that's how you fell into her trap!"
Let the whole world see that she is the one you love most, and she is the undisputed young mistress of the Xie family!
"Grandma, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill?"
Xie Jinghuai frowned deeply, his expression incomprehensible. "You may not like Zhixin, but there's no need to demonize her like this. It's just a hairpin..."
"Just a hairpin?"
The old lady stood up shakily, her eyes red with anger. "If it were anything else, I would have just accepted it as if you had fed meat buns to a dog and wouldn't have bothered with you. But it has to be a hairpin!"
Do you know what a hairpin represents? It's a token of love between husband and wife!
Xie Jinghuai's face suddenly stiffened.
At that moment, he was filled with anger towards Sheng Jiang Shiyuan.
Lin Zhixin liked it, so he gave it to her without thinking, completely unaware of this aspect!
"In ancient times, when a man gave a hairpin to the woman he admired, it meant he was secretly pledging his life to her and wanted to grow old with her! Lin Zhixin asked you for a hairpin because she understood the meaning behind it. She did it on purpose! Only you are completely naive and have been fooled by her, thinking you have done something great!"
Xie Yuexi then jumped in again, "Grandma, you're overthinking it. Zhixin is a highly educated woman who studied abroad; how would she know such an ancient story? You've really misunderstood her."
Besides, so what if my brother gave Zhixin the hairpin? Zhixin is the woman he cares about most, so there's nothing wrong with giving her the hairpin.
Song Xiewen rubbed his forehead, feeling as if he were sitting on pins and needles, as if he had a thorn in his back, as if he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.
He felt that he had married not a woman, but a barrel of gasoline!
"The woman you care about most?"
The old lady was so angry that she could hardly breathe. She asked indignantly, "Then what about A-Yuan, who is on the same household registration as you, who has worked hard to support your husband and raise your children? What about A-Yuan?"
When you angrily spent two hundred million on the Lin family girl, when you gave her a token of your love, did you ever think about the fact that you were a married man? Not even a tiny bit... Did you consider A-Yuan's feelings?!
A-Yuan is the noble daughter of the Lin family, not a lowly girl born to some shameless woman who seduces a married man! No matter how much you look down on her, she will always be more noble than Lin Zhixin! And the reason you can bully A-Yuan with impunity is not because you are some worthless head of the Xie family, but because A-Yuan loves you deeply!
If one day, Ah Yuan stops loving you, you're nothing but a fart!
The living room was as silent as a grave.
Xie Yuexi and Song Xiewen were both dumbfounded. It seemed that this was the first time their usually dignified and dignified grandmother had ever sworn.
That's so domineering, so intimidating, I'm not kidding.
Xie Jinghuai's handsome face drained of color, and his large hands, hanging stiffly at his sides, curled up inch by inch.
In front of his grandmother, he didn't mention a word about the misfortune that had befallen Jiang Shiyuan.
Grandma likes Jiang Shiyuan so much, he was afraid the old lady wouldn't be able to handle the blow...
"Ah Yuan didn't come with you tonight, most likely because she's completely disappointed in you."
The old lady sat down weakly, glaring at him with resentment and anger. "You'd better find a way to make up for your shameful mistake. If A-Yuan really divorces you and doesn't want you anymore, you will no longer be my grandson!"
...
A family dinner infuriated the old lady, who stormed off with Aunt Feng's help.
Song Xiewen couldn't help but complain, "When are you going to learn to be more considerate with your mouth? You made the old lady so angry, are you satisfied with that?"
"What did I do wrong? Which of my words was a lie? I was just telling the truth."
Xie Yuexi crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. "It's no use if Grandma doesn't want to accept reality. My brother's sweetheart is Zhixin. No matter how much she tries to match them up, it's all in vain."
Suddenly, a chilling, sinister voice pierced her back:
"Who told you that the person I love is Lin Zhixin?"
