Although the restaurant Tang Huaijin booked was not far from Dawn Light, it was the evening rush hour, so it took more than half an hour for Xie Xihe to arrive.
Xie Xihe glanced at the time, replied to Sheng Shijing's message, and then walked straight to the box.
Yuanming Hotel, box a618.
Unlike the harmony and festivity in other boxes, the entire a618 box fell into deathly silence.
The Xie and Xue families sat on either side, looking at each other with unfriendly eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, Xue's father forced a smile and said, "That's enough, my dear. What do you mean by 'our good daughter of the Xue family'? I'd like to ask, what has our Wanyu done that is so unjust that you would say such a thing?"
Xue's mother also puffed out her chest and said bluntly, "That's right! I'm not bragging, but our Wanyu is famous for her gentleness, virtue, and good manners. Who wouldn't praise her when she goes out?"
Glancing at the empty seat next to Old Man Xie, Mother Xue's eyes rolled and she said with a laugh, "Since my in-laws want to talk like that, don't blame me for being rude."
"If our Wanyu is worthy of your words of deep-mindedness and unfilial elders, then what about your daughter?"
She sneered and said, "I won't say much else. Let's just say that every time our two families met, she was always like a mute person, not saying a word for a long time. When you talk to her, she just nods and shakes her head, and says "hmm" and "ah". How can she show any respect for her elders?"
"That's still far away. Let's talk about something closer." Mother Xue pointed to the empty seat next to Mr. Xie, then to the clock on the wall of the box, and continued, "We agreed to meet at six o'clock, and it's already half past six. Where is she?"
"Haha, everyone can see whether our Wanyu is good or not. If you say something bad about her, she will be guilty of a heinous crime!"
"Instead of nitpicking here, you should spend your time online and see what people are saying about your daughter!"
She straightened her chest and said confidently, "Don't blame me for speaking harshly. If my in-laws can't even teach their own daughter well, what qualifications do they have to criticize our Wanyu?!"
"No matter how bad she is, she is still better than that good-for-nothing daughter of yours!"
After Xue's mother finished speaking, she looked towards Liang Suqin and said with a smile, "That's what my mother-in-law said, right?"
Liang Suqin's face flushed red, especially when she saw Xue's mother's undisguised sneer on her face. She wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.
While cursing her daughter who only brought shame to her in her heart, she said with a blushing face: "My in-laws are right. Wanyu is naturally a good person."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Bowen again, his face full of anger: "Old man, what are you doing? We are just having a good meal together, why are you talking about all this nonsense!"
After trying to hold it in, she couldn't hold back her temper and lowered her voice, "You just want to embarrass me in front of my in-laws, right?!"
Xie Bowen's already gloomy eyes became even gloomier. He stared at Liang Suqin for a long time, then looked away without saying a word.
Liang Suqin was stunned for a moment, and a sense of guilt surged in her heart, but it was replaced by intense resentment in an instant.
The grievances and sadness that had accumulated over a long period of time surged into her heart, and she didn't even care about the presence of outsiders. She slammed the table and stood up quickly: "Xie Bowen, what are you looking at? Did I say something wrong?"
"Not only am I right, even my in-laws are right!"
"I know why you blame Wanyu. Isn't it because she hid your illness from everyone but told Xie Xihe?"
"Yes, I admit that Wanyu did something wrong in this matter, but ultimately, she did it because Xie Xihe asked her to. She just kept her promise and didn't say it out loud. How can you even label her as something as serious as 'evil-minded'?"
"So Xie Xihe is filial and sensible even when he hides it, but when it comes to Wanyu, she becomes malicious?!"
"Xie Bowen, you are too hypocritical!"
She took a breath and continued, "Let's talk about Xie Xihe."
"Although her purpose in entering the entertainment industry was to earn money to buy medicine for your treatment, it's an undeniable fact that she has done so many shameful things in the entertainment industry and has brought shame to our Xie family!"
"Do you know how much ridicule and sneer I've endured over the past six months because of her? She's completely disgraced me!!"
Liang Suqin became angrier and angrier as she spoke, especially when she thought about how she had been ridiculed and mocked whenever she went out to see her old sisters over the past six months. Her eyes even turned red uncontrollably.
Xie Bowen really didn't expect that a dinner that was originally planned to settle accounts with Xue Wanyu and the Xue family would become a scene for these people to criticize his daughter before it even started!
It would be fine if it was just the Xue family, but even his wife came to ruin his plan and helped the Xue family to blame their own daughter!
Xie Bowen's heart was boiling with anger, and he sneered, "You still know that you can't let outsiders see you laughing at yourself. You say your daughter's faults in front of outsiders, and you think you can have the nerve to do that?"
She is not my daughter!!
Liang Suqin yelled in her heart, but met Xie Bowen's warning gaze, she didn't dare to say it out loud. She just stiffened her neck and said, "I'm just telling the truth! It was you who first said something about asking the Xue family to take Wanyu back that caused this trouble!"
Xie Bowen suddenly calmed down. He looked at Liang Suqin with an extremely calm gaze and said, "Do you trust your good daughter-in-law so much that you can even ignore the evidence right in front of you? Do you trust her so much that the love we've had as husband and wife for nearly fifty years can't even compare to it?"
