I thought Xia Ying was a swan.
Unexpected.
They're not even as good as the Ugly Duckling!
That's absolutely disgusting.
Seeing that Xu Tao remained silent, Xu's mother looked at him and said, "Tao Tao, you haven't fallen in love with that little bitch, have you? Let me tell you, I don't agree to this. You two have to get a divorce immediately!"
How could the Xia family, that impoverished family, be worthy of the Xu family!
Xu Tao said, "Mom, what are you thinking? How could I possibly be interested in someone like Xia Ying? If it weren't for the fact that she's friends with Mrs. Shen, I wouldn't have even given her a second glance! I not only want her to return all the betrothal gifts, but I also want her to compensate me for emotional distress!"
Mrs. Xu narrowed her eyes. "That's right! Tao Tao, you're right. She's been eating and drinking for free in our house for so long. Just returning the bride price isn't enough. She must compensate us for emotional distress!"
In order to please Xia Ying and climb into the Shen family, Xu's mother served Xia Ying like a great-grandmother.
Tonight, she caused them to lose face in front of their relatives, so Xia Ying definitely has to pay for their emotional distress!
Mr. Xu lit a cigarette. “But this is easier said than done. Returning the bride price is protected by law, but compensation for emotional distress is not.”
At this point, Xu's father continued, "Your mother and I are respectable people. We can't exactly go to the Xia family and make a scene, can we?"
Hearing Mr. Xu's words, the light in Mrs. Xu's eyes dimmed slightly.
Suddenly, Xu Tao's eyes lit up, and he had an idea. He smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, I have a plan."
"What method?" Xu's mother asked immediately.
Xu Tao continued, "Since compensation for emotional distress isn't protected by law, let's find a legally protected method. This time, I'm determined to make Xia Ying pay the price. Mom and Dad, listen to me..."
Xu Tao is always the one scheming against others.
He has never been unlucky with women.
This is the first time!
Because of that bitch Xia Ying, he went from a proper young man to a divorced man!
Xia Ying deserves to pay the price!
Two hours later.
Xia Ying returned to the Xu family with a heavy heart.
As soon as she returned, her mother greeted her with a smile, "Child, are you hungry? There's rice in the pot, let me get you some."
Xia Ying was taken aback.
She never expected that after causing such a huge mess today, making her in-laws lose face in front of their relatives, her mother-in-law would still treat her so well.
Xia Ying said with deep remorse, "Mom, I'm sorry, I embarrassed you and Dad today..."
“It’s alright, child,” Mrs. Xu said with her usual kind smile. “This is not your fault. If you have to blame someone, blame your parents for being so impatient and telling everyone that Mrs. Shen was coming. Besides, Mrs. Shen is nothing special. It’s good that you’ve broken things off with her. From now on, we can rely on ourselves and not on others.”
Mr. Xu also stepped forward, smiling, and said, "Yes, child, your mother is right. What's so great about Mrs. Shen? Poverty doesn't last three generations, nor does wealth. As long as our family works together, we'll become successful one day!"
Looking at her understanding in-laws and recalling Jiang Ning's haughty demeanor, Xia Ying secretly resolved to be filial to them from now on, and to do whatever they asked her to do!
She was determined to show Jiang Ning and Ma Zhaodi that even without their two friends, she could still live a very fulfilling life.
"Mom and Dad, thank you," Xia Ying said, crying, "From now on, you two are my biological parents!"
