People say that you should lower your head when choosing a wife, but what's the point of lowering your head if the wife isn't the one you're satisfied with?
For Han Xiuzhen, the daughter-in-law her son married was truly a complicated situation.
Han Xiuzhen felt that her entire life's dignity had been ruined by this daughter-in-law.
She finally found an opportunity to show off in front of her old friends, so she played herself like a clown.
Han Xiuzhen struggled for a long time before finally managing to smile.
She smiled and said to Zhao Mingyao, "Mingyao, come here. I received a message. Was it from the housekeeper? Can you take a look?"
Everyone knows this is just an excuse, but no one calls it out.
What good would it do for a respectable person like Han Xiuzhen to get angry when she has a daughter-in-law like this?
Her son likes it.
Upon hearing her mother-in-law's summons, Zhao Mingyao's expression turned even more unpleasant.
She knew very well that her mother-in-law wouldn't be so kind to her unless she was pretending.
But what could she do? She could only walk over slowly.
"Didn't you see Jiang Xiuyu's daughter-in-law? How do you know how to get along with others? It's true that my son married you, but don't think that just because you've given birth to a few children you're a hero. You have no dowry, no capital, and anyone can have children for my son, so you're nothing!"
“I’ve told you this principle so many times. If you still can’t remember, I’ll repeat it to you again. Now, go talk to them right now. Be poised and confident. Even if you can’t pretend, you have to. If you embarrass me, I’ll make you regret it.”
Zhao Mingyao's face turned deathly pale.
She really didn't want to have too many opportunities to interact with her mother-in-law, but what could she do? After all, they were family. She wanted to enter high society, and she couldn't do without her mother-in-law. Her future children also needed the support of her mother-in-law and father-in-law.
So Zhao Mingyao could only keep her expression stiff and slowly walk towards the group of noblewomen.
She was not familiar with these ladies at all, and they didn't really want to talk to her.
But there was at least one person she knew.
Without further hesitation, Zhao Mingyao stepped forward and took Jiang Tian's arm in front of everyone.
She smiled at her and said, "I didn't want to join in when I saw you guys talking earlier. Now, have you finished chatting? As good friends, we can catch up, right?"
Zhao Mingyao was truly panicked and made such a reckless statement, which made everyone's expressions turn somewhat unpleasant.
What does this person mean? Is she upset that they're bothering her best friend?
Don't assume they don't understand social etiquette. If these two were truly best friends, Zhao Mingyao wouldn't have stood by and watched for so long, not even knowing how to strike up a conversation.
This person will stop at nothing to infiltrate their ranks.
They're both ordinary wives, so why is one so acceptable to them while the other is so annoying?
Sometimes Zhao Mingyao really needs to reflect on herself.
Some people even rolled their eyes at her, showing her absolutely no respect.
Zhao Mingyao was so aggrieved that she was almost in tears.
But she really had no choice.
She looked at Jiang Tian with pleading eyes, hoping that Jiang Tian could say a few words on her behalf in this situation and help her ease the awkwardness.
Jiang Tian also looked at her, but her actions were completely different from what Zhao Mingyao had imagined.
To Zhao Mingyao's surprise, Jiang Tian slowly pulled her arm out of her hand.
Jiang Tian looked at her calmly and said, "Mrs. Zhao, our friendship ended a few days ago. I hope you can stop pretending in front of everyone. Pretending to be good friends is exhausting."
“We’re all in the same circle, we see each other all the time. If I’m labeled as your best friend, I think it might affect my ability to make other friends.”
When she said those words, many people gasped.
They couldn't believe it was true.
Is this still the innocent and gentle Jiang Tian they remember?
I never expected her to have this happen to her.
Jiang Xiuyu, watching from afar, had a hint of approval in her eyes.
Jiang Xiuyu has a clear understanding of herself; she is not the kind of person who insists on her daughter-in-law following the rules.
One of the things she disliked most about Jiang Tian was her tendency to drift along, always listening to whatever others said without having any of her own opinions.
In Jiang Xiuyu's eyes, such a person was nothing more than a parasitic vine.
It seems that marriage is the only path facing Jiang Tian; she can't survive on her own.
Although Jiang Xiuyu has never experienced hardship, she is a successful businesswoman. She hopes that women will have their own opinions and live their own lives to the fullest, instead of relying on marriage to achieve success overnight and then becoming a virtuous wife and loving mother in the eyes of others, with even their names becoming obscured.
Jiang Xiuyu would entertain such a person, but she would also avoid them.
She has a strong personality and dislikes this kind of person, so she won't actively approach them.
But Su Hanze didn't give her any time to react. He only brought Jiang Tian over after they got their marriage certificate.
Jiang Xiuyu felt as if she had been struck by lightning when she learned that her son had married such a person.
What could she possibly do?
Jiang Tian has always kept to herself and avoided trouble, so it's impossible for Jiang Xiuyu to suddenly cause her any trouble.
Jiang Xiuyu had a lot of anger inside, and she couldn't hold it in, so she could only express her dissatisfaction at certain times.
Now, the daughter-in-law has actually contradicted another person's daughter-in-law.
Jiang Xiuyu had to admit that she was in a very good mood.
Even though Jiang Tian's actions could be considered impolite, Jiang Xiuyu still improved her impression of her.
In any case, at least she's not the type to passively accept things as they are and take other people's slaps as applause.
Jiang Xiuyu expressed her approval of her daughter-in-law's actions, while Han Xiuzhen was twice as annoyed that her daughter-in-law had been humiliated by someone else.
She truly couldn't believe that her daughter-in-law could be so stupid.
The son has a high IQ, but his EQ is really too low; otherwise, they wouldn't have chosen such a person.
Does Zhao Mingyao have the demeanor of a matriarch? Can she really save face for the Shen family?
She could mess up even the simplest thing, so Han Xiuzhen couldn't even laugh.
Han Xiuzhen didn't intend to go up and interfere.
If she were to interfere, she would truly lose all face.
Problems between young people should be resolved by the young people themselves; she won't rely on her age to act superior.
However… Han Xiuzhen glanced silently at Jiang Xiuyu, who was standing beside her with a slight smile on her lips.
If she could, she would want a daughter-in-law with a normal mind, even if she was from a commoner family.
On the other hand, Zhao Mingyao could not believe that she would encounter such an embarrassing moment.
She looked at Jiang Tian with a surprised expression.
Zhao Mingyao really didn't expect Jiang Tian to refute her and publicly point out that their friendship had broken down.
She's gone mad!
