Chapter 73: The Hongmen Banquet



When Pei Xiaoxiao saw Liu Zhiyuan, she walked up and held her hand.

"Xiao Yuan, what a coincidence! Zichen and I are here to try on wedding dresses. I just happened to meet you. You have good taste, can you help me choose? Zichen is a man, and there are many things he doesn't understand. He always says yes to everything I ask him. Can you come in and help me choose? Okay?"

Liu Zhiyuan was speechless. She replied angrily,

"Pei Xiaoxiao, what the hell, why can't you just let me go? Can you pretend you don't know me? You've obviously already tried on your wedding dresses. Why do you insist on me picking them out for you? Are you showing off? Psychologically, showing off is actually a sign of inferiority. The more you show off, the more inferior you feel."

The smile on Pei Xiaoxiao's face was awkward, and she looked at Duan Zichen for help.

Duan Zichen looked at Liu Zhiyuan with a complicated expression and said coldly, "Go back."

Pei Xiaoxiao said softly, "You know, I really didn't mean to show off. I just trust Liu Zhiyuan's vision."

Liu Zhiyuan took a deep breath and said, "Well, since you think so highly of me, can I help you choose?"

Pei Xiaoxiao looked very happy, "Really?"

Liu Zhiyuan nodded seriously.

"Really? But think carefully. Trying on wedding dresses twice implies a second marriage. Are you marrying Duan Zichen today and getting divorced tomorrow?"

Pei Xiaoxiao was blocked by her venomous tongue and didn't dare to lose her temper in front of Zichen. She could only swallow her anger and explain, "That's not what I meant. Forget it, I won't try it on again."

Liu Zhiyuan sneered and calmly pulled Feng Linlin away from them.

Feng Linlin secretly gave her a thumbs up, "Great, great!"

Liu Zhiyuan blinked, "It's nothing, nothing."

She went shopping with Feng Linlin until the afternoon when Lin Jinrong called her and asked her to come home for dinner.

She politely declined, "Mom, Song Ling and I have discussed this. I'll be home the day after tomorrow to have dinner with you."

Lin Jinrong's attitude was very firm, "No, come back today."

Liu Zhiyuan frowned.

"Mom, he's working overtime today."

There was some displeasure in Lin Jinrong's voice.

"It's just right that he's working overtime. Anyway, I don't want to see him, a poor intern."

Liu Zhiyuan was speechless, "Mom, can you..."

"Xiao Yuan, do you want to piss me off to death? Don't you know I'm not feeling well after the surgery? Why aren't you coming back?" Lin Jinrong interrupted her, "Come back quickly, there's something important at home."

Liu Zhiyuan was helpless.

"All right."

In order not to hurt the uncle's self-esteem, she did not mention this matter to him, so she returned to the Liu family first.

When she got home and saw a table full of people waiting for her, she immediately felt like she was at a party.

Lin Jinrong lied that she was not feeling well, but entertained guests at home.

Liu Zhiyuan felt heartbroken. Her mother had specifically asked her to go home to accompany the guests. The guests at home were Duan Zichen and his family of three, as well as Pei Xiaoxiao and her father.

Mom has always known that she has a bad relationship with Pei Xiaoxiao and Duan Zichen, so why does she still bother her?

When Pei Xiaoxiao saw her, she grinned, as if the morning in the bridal shop had never happened.

"Xiao Yuan, come and sit down. We are all waiting for you."

Liu Zhiyuan frowned, as if nothing in the past had happened.

Back to the last time, Pei Xiaoxiao pretended to apologize to her and dragged her to the hotel for dinner.

The only difference is that last time Dad was there, but this time only Mom was there.

How could she have an appetite?

"I remember, I have something urgent to do."

Just as she was about to turn around, Lin Jinrong scolded her, "Stop! Who taught you to be so rude? Do you even have any manners?"

Liu Zhiyuan sighed, and Pei Xiaoxiao sensibly stepped forward and pulled Liu Zhiyuan around the field.

"Xiao Yuan, please sit down. We are all waiting for you. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion. It's only lively when the three of us are together."

Fuck you!

Who wants to reunite with a white lotus like you?

Li Shuzhen's body recovered very well and her complexion was very good, but her face was not very good.

"Xiao Yuan, you're becoming more and more ignorant. So many of us are waiting for you, and you're here and you don't even give us face? Isn't that like slapping our elders in the face?"

Liu Zhiyuan said last time that she would only tolerate her once, so this time she responded bluntly: "Aunt Li, you should say less. Liver failure is not a small problem, so you should talk less."

Li Shuzhen's face turned pale. "Liu Zhiyuan, you..."

Duan Zichen, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said, "Let's eat."

So, dinner began.

Liu Zhiyuan had no appetite. She might have seen someone she didn't want to see.

She felt that today's food was not tasty at all.

I picked a bowl of rice out of boredom and ignored the people smiling opposite me.

Pei Xiaoxiao looked up and saw the diamond ring in her hand. She pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Xiaoyuan, your diamond ring is so beautiful. Did Doctor Song give it to you? This diamond ring must be very expensive, right?"

Liu Zhiyuan thought of the uncle, so she picked up her phone and sent him a text message.

While typing a text message, she replied calmly, "Not expensive, 1,000 yuan."

Li Shuzhen couldn't help laughing while drinking the soup.

Lin Jinrong almost suffocated. She frowned in disgust and shouted, "Shut up."

Li Shuzhen has now decided that Pei Xiaoxiao is her daughter-in-law, so she dislikes Liu Zhiyuan.

She said sarcastically, "Xiao Yuan, it seems your husband is really poor. Who would wear a 1,000 yuan ring nowadays? It's a shame."

Liu Zhiyuan, "I'm wearing it, but it's not for you. What does it have to do with you?"
