Chapter 196 I beat
Madam Mu naturally heard what Madam Zhou said about her daughter. She couldn't understand why Madam Zhou would adopt such a woman as her goddaughter and protect her so much. Her words were a reminder and also a test.
Test Xizhi's weight in Mrs. Zhou's heart.
"Mrs. Mu! Please be careful with your words. My daughter is the best daughter in the world. She is kind-hearted, polite and generous. Anyone who can make her take action must be extremely evil.
I want to ask you, was the slap mark on my daughter's face caused by your daughter? Is it true?"
The entire banquet hall fell silent. Mrs. Zhou was the most powerful person in the room. She was usually very low-key. It could be said that the entire Zhou family was very low-key. They never showed off in public, and they would never use their power to make things difficult for anyone. They were always kind and courteous to others.
But now Mrs. Zhou was angry, very angry. Even when facing the wealthy Mu family, her aura was so strong that everyone present was afraid.
Mu Wanrou: "I hit her. This bitch deserves..."
"Wanrou, shut up!"
Madam Mu scolded her coldly, and the eldest daughter-in-law of the Mu family quickly apologized to Madam Zhou with a smile.
"Mrs. Zhou, this is all a misunderstanding. Please calm down. You see, your Miss Yan has a bad temper. She slapped our aunt twice. If anyone is angry, it is our Mu family who should be angry.
Since Miss Yan is a distinguished guest of Madam Zhou, let's give Madam Zhou face and let Miss Yan apologize to our Aunt Mu, and we can let this matter go.
We are all in the same circle and we see each other every day. There is no need to make everyone unhappy because of a small misunderstanding. Today is the Li family's wedding day, so let's give the Li family some face.
Xiaoyan, you are sensible, so come and apologize quickly, and don't make Madam Zhou feel embarrassed because of you."
In the last sentence, Mrs. Mu's tone was filled with warning and threat.
Xi Zhi: "...Godmother, although I was slapped once, I slapped you back twice. I didn't suffer any loss, so please don't feel sorry for me. I apologized to Miss Mu..."
Xizhi said as she was about to go and apologize to Mu Wanrou.
She didn't care. As for an apology, saying "sorry" wouldn't make her lose a piece of flesh. Anyway, she had already scolded him and hit him.
No loss.
Just as she was about to speak, Madam Zhou said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Mu Da has a sweet mouth. She can turn black into white and death into life.
It was clearly Mu Wanrou who started the quarrel and started the fight first, but now it is my daughter's fault for being ignorant. It is all her fault. She is worthy of being Madam Mu's daughter-in-law. Her ability to put the blame on others is really eye-opening to me.
Xizhi is the goddaughter of my Zhou family. She is the daughter that Old Zhou and I personally adopted. We in the Zhou family love and protect her so much that we want to hold her in our hands, fearing that she will suffer any injustice.
Today, I was picked on by your Mu family, beaten and scolded, and the blame for everything was put on me. You Mu family are so cruel, not only killing people but also destroying their hearts.
Do you really think my daughter is easy to bully? I am making this clear today: the Mu family has not made a sincere apology and has not received Xizhi's forgiveness. As for this matter, our Zhou family will investigate it to the end!
Xizhi looked in shock at Zhou's mother, who stood up for her with an indignant look on her face.
What qualifications does Yan Xizhi have?
"Godmother~"
"Zhizhi, don't be afraid. You are the daughter of the Zhou family. You have your godfather, godmother, and two brothers to back you up. In the whole of Kyoto, I don't think anyone dares to bully you!"
Mrs. Zhou's attitude is very clear.
Being so strong and not leaving any room for others, the women of the Mu family began to panic. Only Mu Wanrou was still glaring at Xizhi angrily, wishing she could strangle her to death.
At this moment, she didn't think about the entire Mu family at all. She only thought about the great injustice she had suffered and how she wanted to get it back. Not only did she want to get it back, she wanted to get it back twice as much.
"Mrs. Zhou, I apologize! It's all my fault. I spoke nonsense. I..."
Mrs. Mu took the initiative to take responsibility on behalf of her mother-in-law and sister-in-law, wanting to admit the mistake and put the matter behind her.
But Mrs. Zhou didn't buy it.
"Did you injure my daughter's face?"
Mrs. Mu shook her head subconsciously.
Madam Zhou: "Sir, come and apologize! You didn't hit anyone, so why are you apologizing? There's no such thing as a substitute."
Madam Mu clenched her hands tightly. She was already old, and she was still being humiliated by Madam Zhou. She felt very upset.
But he had to bow to reality. The Zhou family was much more powerful than the Mu family.
"Wanrou, go apologize to her."
As soon as Madam Mu finished speaking, Mu Wanrou was about to go crazy.
"I want to kill this bitch. This bitch doesn't deserve my Tao..."
"Wanrou! Apologize!"
Madam Mu's face turned ashen, and she warned again through gritted teeth, her eyes full of threats as she looked at her daughter.
The two daughters-in-law of the Mu family were also persuading them in a low voice.
Old Madam Zhou was getting impatient waiting.
"Zhizhi, let's go. We'll slowly settle the score with her for that slap you received!"
Madam Mu gave her daughter a final warning: "Wanrou, do you want to be abandoned by your family and disliked by the Xuan family as well?"
Mu Wanrou: "...Mom!"
"Go, apologize quickly!"
Mu Wanrou closed her eyes tightly and walked in front of Xizhi.
He said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I was impulsive, I..."
Xi Zhi: "I was impulsive too. I received Madam Xuan's apology. Let's put this matter behind us. Today is the Li family's big day. Let's not let this momentary impulse ruin the good mood. Madam Mu, Madam Xuan, please sit down and drink the wedding wine."
Xizhi smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
The old lady of the Mu family stared at Xi Zhi, then turned her gaze to Old Lady Zhou, "Madam Zhou, why don't we just listen to Miss Yan and drink at the wedding."
Madam Zhou: "Since Zhizhi has said so, then let it be."
The four women of the Mu family returned to their seats like lost dogs. The other guests who were supposed to be at that table did not dare to come forward because the anger of the women of the Mu family was too strong.
You can feel the coldness from ten meters away.
The old lady of the Li family tried to smooth things over and quickly asked the master of ceremonies to start today's banquet. She also felt resentful towards the Mu family. If they wanted to attend the banquet, they could just come and attend it. Why did they bring an old married girl with them?
If she was a quiet person, she wouldn't say anything, but this woman is a troublemaker. She is arrogant and looks down on everyone. She will attack anyone she dislikes.
Who in the circle would be willing to let this woman attend a party hosted by their family?
It's really unlucky. After the banquet tonight, I must get rid of the bad luck.
The banquet began and delicious dishes were served on the table.
At Xizhi and Madam Zhou's table, everyone was very enthusiastic in chatting with them.
Everyone automatically ignored the scars on Xizhi's face. Some young people came over to toast with Xizhi, and Xizhi responded enthusiastically. However, when they asked for a photo, Xizhi refused.
"My face isn't suitable for a group photo today. Posting it online would cause a huge debate. We've already moved on from this. Let's take a group photo next time."
There will be many more opportunities like today.”
Fans who asked for a photo expressed their understanding, saying they were already very happy just having a drink together.
The banquet was only a third of the way through and the food hadn't even been served when several women from the Mu family left on the pretext of feeling unwell.
As soon as the Mu family left, the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall became more relaxed.
Some people even started to complain about the women of the Mu family, especially Mu Wanrou.
There are ladies around her age who know a lot about her.
She has been very selfish since she was a child. Because she is the youngest daughter of the Mu family, everyone in the Mu family dotes on her and will easily forgive her if she makes a mistake.
She is selfish and domineering at school. She puts herself at the center of everything she does. If things don't go her way, she will get upset and lose her temper. She bullies her classmates and often attacks anyone she dislikes.
Some families can't afford to offend the Mu family and can only endure it, while those who can't endure it can only transfer their children to other schools.
Later, because of her poor academic performance, she went to the United States for high school. When she was eighteen, she met Huo Cheng. Their romance caused a sensation in the circle of international students, but their breakup was also earth-shattering.
After hearing Mu Wanrou's gossip, Xizhi felt even more distressed for Boss Huo.
The crazy woman took out all her dissatisfaction with men on her own son.
I miss Boss Huo so much and want to hug him.
At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Li and her son personally sent Xizhi and Zhou's mother out, and gave Xizhi a gift to calm her down. They expressed their deep apologies for the injustice she had suffered at the banquet.
Xizhi was embarrassed to accept it, but Madam Zhou asked her to accept it, as this was to give face to the Li family.
Xizhi obeyed the orders and accepted the gift from the Li family.
It is a limited edition Hermès shawl, worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
On the way back, Zhou's mother touched Xizhi's face with heartache.
"I'm sorry to have wronged you."
Xizhi: "Godmother, I'm not wronged, I made a lot of money, one slap in the face was exchanged for two slaps, and now I have such a valuable shawl, I really made a lot of money by following you, godmother.
If I were to go out with my biological mother or adoptive mother, this slap, let alone a slap, would be like pulling out all my hair, that would be it."
"Oh, if only godmother had met you earlier, you wouldn't have suffered so much."
Xizhi happily leaned on Zhou's mother's shoulder, "I'm not wronged, I have a godmother who loves me. I suddenly realized that the hardships I suffered in the first half of my life were all to pave the way for meeting the best person in the world later.
I also discovered that God is fair. He gave me my biological parents who didn't love me, my adoptive parents who didn't love me and only sucked my blood, my brothers and sisters, my bastard ex-husband, and my vicious mother-in-law...
But suddenly one day I woke up and realized that everyone I met was very good, and there was no second best and unique relative in this world.
Although we are not related by blood, we are more like family. You, my godfather, An An, my second brother, my eldest brother and his wife, are as natural and intimate as if we were once a family.
And my boss Huo, I really can’t imagine having a better boyfriend than him.
Even my fans are very warm, I am really happy and blessed."
Zhou's mother patted Xizhi's hand and said, "Because you treat others sincerely and are a good person, you have met many good people. This is your own unique personality charm. You deserve happiness."
"Wow~ Godmother, if you say that, I'm going to swell up."
"Hahahaha...you~"
After Xizhi sent Zhou's mother home, she asked the driver to take her to the hotel to wait for Huo Yanting.
Boss Huo is flying over tonight, and she wants to pester him and ask for more, hehehehe...
After returning to the hotel, Xizhi sent a message to Huo Yanting.
"Boss Huo, I'm going to take a bubble bath now. I'll make myself smell nice and tender and wait for you. Ask the girl at the front desk for your room card."
[No need to call me. When you arrive, just run straight into my room with the room card, jump on my bed, hug me tightly, and /blow a kiss/]
After Xizhi took a shower, she climbed into bed. Xiaoying had already transferred all her available balances to her various bank apps.
Looking at the balances on the five bank apps, Xizhi was in a very good mood.
Check your account balance in the evening for a restful sleep and sweet dreams. Check it in the morning for a cheerful mood and a full day of energy.
Money feeds people, netizens are not lying to me.
Huo Yanting's plane took off at 8 o'clock, and it was already late at night when he arrived in Kyoto.
When we arrived at the hotel, Xizhi had already fallen asleep.
It was only after he got off the plane that he saw the message Xizhi sent him. When he saw Xizhi's message, the corners of the man's mouth curled up and he couldn't suppress it at all.
But when the car was about to arrive at the hotel entrance, he received a call from Zhou Yaokun.
"What did you say?"
Zhou Yaokun: "When Xizhi and my mother went to attend the Li family's full moon banquet, we met Mu Wanrou. She went crazy when she saw Xizhi, scolding and beating her. Xizhi was slapped by her. Although my mother finally got Xizhi back, but!
It is a fact that Xizhi was beaten by your mother.
My mother asked me to tell you about this matter. You can ask Xizhi for the details. My mother is asleep at this time."
Huo Yanting's fingers, which were gripping the phone, had turned white.
"Okay, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, he called Xiaoying.
From getting off the car to getting the room card and then standing at the door of the room, Huo Yanting already understood the details of the incident.
Anger spread from his heart to every part of his body. He took a deep breath and then opened the door.
I walked in quietly and closed the door. The room was very quiet.
It was already half past twelve in the morning, and Xizhi had already fallen asleep.
He took off his coat and suit jacket and changed his shoes before going in.
Seeing the woman sleeping soundly on the bed, Huo Yanting's heart softened as much as cotton, but his brows were tightly furrowed.
Squatting beside the bed, he saw the clear red marks left by her five fingers on her fair little face.
His heart tightened violently, as if it was being gripped by an invisible hand, making it painful for him to breathe.
Looking intently at the marks on her face, Huo Yanting typed a line of words on his phone and sent it to Assistant Chen.
[Arrange people to surround the Mu family. Not even a fly is allowed to fly out. Use all hidden forces to encircle and suppress Mu's capital.]
