When they saw their future daughter-in-law and sister-in-law arrive, they weren't as happy as a normal family.
Ji Zhixia spent a lot of money today, and when she arrived at the Mu family's house, she had bags and bags of things to bring back.
Sitting on the sofa in the Mu family's living room, she excitedly picked up things and talked.
"Mom, my best friend and I went shopping today and saw this brand of skincare products. I remembered that Zeyu told me that you usually like to use this brand of cosmetics, so I bought you some extra."
Ji Zhixia took four or five sets of skincare products at a time, showing her extreme generosity.
"And this one, this is Queen's latest design, I think it suits you and Minmin very well, so I bought one for each of you."
"And there's more..."
"this……"
Ji Zhixia chattered on and on, and soon the Mu family's coffee table was piled high with things.
Looking at the gifts on the table, Mu Minmin curled her lips in disgust, showing no interest whatsoever. Wu Yan'e, as an elder, knew how to restrain herself, at least maintaining a forced smile on her face to avoid making Ji Zhixia too embarrassed.
After a full five minutes of speaking, Ji Zhixia finally finished. She had rambled on and on, leaving her throat dry.
However, Ji Zhixia didn't even have time to drink some water before looking at Wu Yan'e with an expectant expression: "Aunt Mu, do you like it?"
"..." Wu Yan'e pulled her shawl tighter around herself, and her lips twitched when she heard this.
"I do like it, but... Xiaxia, you're wasting your time."
She stocked up on several sets of skincare products, and the problem is that she also stocked up on a lot of them herself, which expired before she could finish using them.
"And this dress... this color really doesn't suit me, it makes me look a little dark."
“Exactly!” Mu Minmin chimed in loudly, “The dress is such a light color, do my mom and I have to put on layers of powder to make it look good? Your taste is really terrible. If I liked this style, I would have bought it when it was first released.”
Why would Ji Zhixia need to send it?
"..." Ji Zhixia's expression was not good when her good intentions were trampled on and humiliated.
When her daughter Mu Minmin said such insensible things, Wu Yan'e, as the mother, didn't think of warning or disciplining her, but instead turned a blind eye and pretended not to care.
Faced with a choice between her biological daughter whom she had raised for so many years and her newly engaged daughter-in-law, Wu Yan'e resolutely and without any moral boundaries sided with the former.
The Mu family initially had a fairly good impression of Ji Zhixia, but after the huge embarrassment at the engagement ceremony, which also caused the Mu family to lose face... the Mu family no longer liked Ji Zhixia as much as before.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ji and Mu families had maintained a good relationship for so many years, involving many interests, and that Ji Zhixia was, as the master said, destined for greatness, the Mu family would have dumped her long ago.
An awkward atmosphere filled the living room. Mu Minmin, lacking emotional intelligence, didn't realize she had said anything wrong, while Wu Yan'e's attitude was indulgent, showing no intention of speaking up for Ji Zhixia.
Even if you feel uncomfortable, you can only deal with it internally.
Ji Zhixia forced a smile and put away the two dresses that made her skin look darker.
"It's okay, just throw it away if you don't like it, it won't bother you."
After saying that, she threw the two dresses directly into the trash can in the living room.
"..." Seeing that Ji Zhixia didn't even blink, Wu Yan'e frowned and said in a lecturing tone.
