"Jingliang, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Xiaoyu looked completely puzzled.
Her family came not only to congratulate her son Wang Niangui, but also to give her face.
But now, her cousin Lin Jingliang has a stern face, and she feels caught in the middle, not pleasing either side.
"Oh, Xiaoyu, you still remember I'm your cousin!"
Lin Jingliang said sarcastically, "I thought you'd forgotten your family after marrying a successful man."
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Lin Xiaoyu's family members all looked embarrassed.
"Jingliang, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"We came here today to celebrate Xiaoyu's child. Aren't you making everyone feel awkward by saying that?"
"Jingliang, what's wrong with you? How could you say such hurtful things about Zixue at your cousin's house?"
"If you have any complaints, you can talk to us privately. Don't throw a tantrum here."
On Wang Qian's side, everyone was completely bewildered.
No one expected that when her family came, they would say something that would ruin the atmosphere.
Lin Xiaoyu, especially, who was caught in the middle, felt extremely wronged.
"Jingliang, what's wrong with you?"
She frowned slightly and asked softly, "If I did something wrong, you can just say so. There's no need to ridicule me like this in front of everyone, is there?"
"Don't you know?"
Ignoring the surprised looks from the crowd, Lin Jingliang glanced at Wang Qian and sneered, "Some people's businesses have grown so big that they don't even respect your cousin. What a big shot!"
"Jingliang, what are you talking about?"
Lin Xiaoyu was so anxious that tears were about to fall. "Can't you just say what you want to say?"
"Hmph, don't you know what you've done?"
Lin Jingliang continued sarcastically, "I only asked you for a favor back then, but you treated me like an outsider and refused to help me when I was in trouble."
"but……"
He then changed the subject, saying, "But don't worry, I'm not the kind of person who holds grudges. Even if you've wronged me, I'll still come if you need anything."
Lin Xiaoyu did not answer, but instead looked at Wang Qian with pleading eyes.
She really didn't understand what her cousin Lin Jingliang was saying.
"Xiaoyu, go and keep your parents company first."
Wang Qian gently pulled Lin Xiaoyu back, then cast a questioning look at Lin Chao.
Lin Chao was the one in charge of the family's congratulations, so if Lin Chao didn't take responsibility, he would have to handle it in his own way.
"Jingliang, are you ever going to stop?"
Upon receiving Wang Qian's signal, Lin Chao pulled Lin Jingliang aside, saying, "If you have any grievances, take them out on me. Don't cause trouble at my sister's house."
"I didn't make a scene!"
Lin Jingliang shrugged, feigning innocence, and said, "Xiaoyu is also my sister. I was just telling her what was on my mind. Is that not allowed?"
"Enough!"
Lin Chao said in a low voice, "If you continue like this, you should go back."
"What? You want to kick me out?"
Lin Jingliang immediately grasped the key point, "Xiao Chao, I've already put aside past grievances and come to your full moon celebration with you, and this is how you treat me?"
"I……"
Lin Chao was speechless.
Indeed, from a moral standpoint, Lin Jingliang's willingness to come here for his full-moon celebration was already a great honor.
Both morally and logically, he should stand with the other party.
If he directly kicks people out, it would make him seem heartless.
Moreover, the other party is his cousin, and it's inappropriate for him to be holding onto him like this, considering the family's hierarchy of seniority.
This is also why he didn't stop Lin Jingliang immediately.
"Xiao Chao, it seems you've hooked up with your brother-in-law now and don't even want the Lin family anymore!"
Lin Chaoyue was unable to refute, but Lin Jingliang went further and further, first attacking her moral values and then using the name of the family to pressure her.
“I am your cousin, and we are both from the Lin family. Although your brother-in-law is close to you, he is still an outsider. Since you have chosen your brother-in-law, it proves that you don’t even want the family anymore.”
"Brother Jingliang, that's not what I meant, I just..."
Lin Chao was still young, and although he knew that Lin Jingliang was a scoundrel and was deliberately distorting the truth, he couldn't find a strong reason to refute him because the other party spoke so confidently.
"Xiao Chao, step aside, let me talk to him!"
Just as he was in a dilemma, Wang Qian spoke up.
"Brother-in-law, I..."
Lin Chao was now in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
"It's okay, I'll handle it myself!"
Wang Qian waved his hand, then looked at Lin Jingliang, "Lin Jingliang, what exactly do you want to do?"
"You actually called me by my first name?"
Lin Jingliang's face darkened. "I'm your wife's cousin. I'm here today as a guest. How dare you speak to me like this?"
"I welcome guests, but you are not!"
Wang Qian showed no mercy, saying, "Either you get out now, or I'll call the police."
"What did you say?"
Lin Jingliang was even more shocked. "I'm your brother-in-law. I came to your house for a drink, and I didn't cause any trouble or do anything excessive. How dare you tell me to get out?"
To get everyone's attention, Lin Jingliang deliberately raised his voice, and almost everyone around him heard it.
He did this, naturally, to morally suppress Wang Qian.
Of course, his biggest goal was to take the opportunity to cause trouble and make things difficult for Wang Qian's family.
Some time ago, he had successfully fooled Lin Chao.
If Lin Chao does as he says and manipulates things, he can get at least a few thousand yuan, which can help him pay off his two thousand yuan gambling debt.
As a result, Wang Qian's words actually forced Lin Chao to go back.
To protect his brother-in-law Wang Qian, Lin Chao even went so far as to sever ties with him as cousins.
Later, he compromised and only asked to work for Wang Qian, but Wang Qian refused outright.
Later, even though Wang Qian hired many outsiders, he was unwilling to help his relative make money.
Was he really that despicable in Wang Qian's eyes?
Since Wang Qian is so ruthless, he doesn't need to care about any family ties anymore.
He came here today ostensibly to have a drink, but actually he's here to cause trouble.
He wanted to completely ruin Wang Qian's wedding and make this joyous occasion end in a dismal failure.
He believed that as long as he didn't resort to violence or insults, no matter how much Wang Qian hated him, he wouldn't dare to do anything to him in front of so many people.
They might even compromise and appease him in order to quell his anger, eventually giving him some benefits in return.
For example, promise him some money so he will stop causing trouble.
Alternatively, you could offer him a job later and then try to build a good relationship with him.
The idea was good, but he was stunned when he heard what Wang Qian said next.
