Chapter 85 Exposed in Public

Yin Luoxue's face turned pale. "Grandma, what do you mean? Are you going to chase me away?"

Madam Li smiled and said, "I don't have the habit of kicking people off the table in the middle of a meal. What I mean is that you should not come to the Li family's family dinners in the future."

The old lady emphasized the word "Lijia" with extra emphasis.

Yin Luoxue looked at a loss and looked very pitiful.

Li Xingze immediately spoke up, "Grandma, Luoxue has never missed our family dinners. Why do you suddenly not allow her to attend?"

"That was in the past. One more pair of chopsticks for her at a family dinner was not a big deal, so I didn't say anything. But now your sister-in-law and her are in direct conflict. It's inevitable that they will have a dispute when they sit together to eat. I just want to avoid it."

Yin Luoxue was so aggrieved that she burst into tears. "But grandma, I never thought of causing a dispute with Gu Mian!"

The old lady looked at her and asked, "Don't you hate Gu Mian?"

"No." Yin Luoxue looked at Gu Mian, "Because I know that if I hate her, Brother Ting Shen will be in trouble because he is caught in the middle. I don't want to make things difficult for Brother Ting Shen."

Madam Li smiled and looked at Gu Mian again, "Mian girl, do you hate her?"

Gu Mian said calmly, "Hate."

She can't pretend, and doesn't want to pretend.

"Luoxue doesn't hate you, so what right do you have to hate her!" Li Xingze said indignantly, "Gu Mian, if you had half the kindness of Luoxue, this tragedy wouldn't have happened, and she wouldn't be sitting in a wheelchair!"

Gu Mian took a sip of orange juice and said nothing.

A year ago, she explained it countless times, but no one believed her except the old lady.

Now that I'm in jail, there's no point in continuing to explain.

"What's your attitude?" Li Xingze was immediately furious when he saw her nonchalant look. "I thought you would reform after being released from prison, but I didn't expect you to still have this attitude. It's simply disgusting!"

"Xingze, let me ask you a question." The old lady said, "If it was you who was deliberately pushed down the stairs and became paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, would you hate that person?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Li Xingze said without hesitation, "I will definitely kill him!"

"That's right. I believe anyone would hate her." The old lady smiled and said, "So don't you think Luoxue's so-called kindness is a little too fake?"

Yin Luoxue's face changed from red to white, which was very exciting.

Li Xingze finally reacted and hurriedly clarified for Yin Luoxue, "Luoxue said that she forgave Gu Mian because she didn't want to embarrass my brother! She loves my brother deeply and can forgive anything for my brother. Unlike Gu Mian, who only hurts people..."

The old lady smiled faintly, "Xingze, who do you love most in this world?"

"Of course it's my family, grandma, mom, dad, and brother."

"If you were pushed down the stairs and became disabled, you would hate it even if it was done by your beloved family, not to mention an outsider."

Li Xingze was stunned, and thought about it from his own perspective. It would be difficult not to hate even the closest relatives and loved ones.

"Grandma is right, isn't she?" The old lady smiled and said, "Everyone has a selfish side to a certain extent. I don't believe there are such saints in this world. They can smile and say forgiveness after being hurt so badly that they can't stand up. This is too fake."

Yin Luoxue's tears kept flowing, "Grandma, you can dislike me, but you can't slander me like this. I'm really not like what you said..."

"Whether you are real or fake, I don't want to find out, nor am I interested, but you have caused unrest in my Li family, and it is your fault." Madam Li still had a smile on her face, but her voice was unquestionable, "You are neither named Li nor a relative of the Li family, so it is reasonable for me to not allow you to attend the private family dinner."

Yin Luoxue looked at Li Tingshen at a loss, "Brother Tingshen..."

Li Ting took a deep sip of red wine and said, "Grandma, it's just a meal, is it that serious?"

Yin Luoxue was delighted.

She knew that Li Tingshen would definitely protect her.

"As for that." Old Madam Li's expression became more serious. "As long as I am alive, I will not allow the Li family to be filled with smog and miasma!"

Li Tingshen put down his wine glass and said, "Luoxue, just do as grandma says."

Yin Luoxue was completely stunned!

Even Li Tingshen said so, this matter must be a foregone conclusion!

She suppressed her anger and quickly regained her composure.

After all, the reason she couldn't come to the family dinner was because that damn old woman was protecting Gu Mian.

When the fact that Gu Mian is pregnant with a bastard is exposed, how can this old woman protect him?

Thinking of this, Yin Luoxue quickly wiped her tears with a tissue, smiled and said, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I made you unhappy. I won't come to the Li family dinner in the future. Please don't be angry."

The old lady didn't say anything, "Let's eat."

Exquisite and delicious dishes were served one after another.

The old lady was very particular about rules and regulations. Not talking while eating or sleeping was a basic etiquette, so no one spoke at the table.

Yin Luoxue quietly turned her head to glance at the maid who was serving the food. The maid nodded in understanding and quickly placed a steamed fish in front of Gu Mian.

Gu Mian smelled the smell and couldn't help feeling nauseous: "Gee..."

Li Xingze was worried about not being able to find an excuse to criticize her, so he immediately said, "What's wrong with you? You're making such a disgusting noise, and you're not going to let anyone eat!"

Gu Mian wanted to explain, but his stomach was still churning and he couldn't open his mouth.

Yin Luoxue asked doubtfully, "Gu Mian, are you pregnant?"

As if she suddenly realized something, she said excitedly, "Brother Tingshen, congratulations!"

Li Tingshen's hand holding the chopsticks paused!

"Do you have any common sense?" Li Xingze said with a smile, "She has only been out of prison for a few days, how could she be pregnant so soon..."

Yin Luoxue opened her mouth as if in shock, "Xingze, don't talk nonsense, how could the child Gu Mian is carrying not be Brother Tingshen's child!"

As soon as she said this, everyone immediately turned their inquiring eyes to Gu Mian.

Gu Mian finally calmed down and looked at Yin Luoxue calmly, "Who told you that I was pregnant?"

Yin Luoxue had long guessed that she would deny it. "Gu Mian, these are the symptoms of your pregnancy. Why don't you dare to admit it? Could it be that you are really pregnant with someone else's child?"

Li Tingshen's face suddenly darkened.

Yin Luoxue hurriedly comforted him, "Brother Tingshen, don't be angry. Gu Mian must have had his own difficulties. Maybe he was raped..."

"presumptuous!"

Before Yin Luoxue could finish her words, she was interrupted by the old lady's sharp voice.

The old lady was a kind person and seldom lost her temper. Everyone at the table was shocked and put down their chopsticks.

"Mom, don't be angry."

Li Hongxuan, Li Tingshen's father, had not said anything until now, but he couldn't help but speak up, "Don't be angry with the young man."

"My grandson's wife has been wrongly accused of being pregnant with a bastard. How can I not be angry?" The old lady looked at Yin Luoxue with stern eyes. "You dare to slander our Li family without any basis. Who gave you the courage?"

Yin Luoxue looked aggrieved, "Grandma, I didn't wrongly accuse her, she is pregnant! If you don't believe me, you can ask a doctor to check her out right now!"
