Chapter 292 Fight Back
I knew that Xu Wanting remembered me.
Her husband looked at me, didn't say anything, just smiled, as if he didn't want to get involved in our affairs.
Xu Zhengnan's expression, which was already not very good to begin with, became even colder as Xu Wanting's voice fell.
"Don't talk about the past anymore, let's eat." Aunt Yang came out to smooth things over. Her face also looked a little ugly, but she still forced a smile, not wanting the meal to be too awkward.
Unexpectedly, Xu Wanting did not give Aunt Yang any face at all. "Sister Yang, Zhengnan is the future heir of our Xu family. My father said that the company must be handed over to him. So who he marries is very important to us. You should know this best. What I can't understand is that you have experienced such a thing yourself, why didn't you keep a close eye on Zhengnan?"
It was originally directed at me, but as soon as Aunt Yang opened her mouth, the criticism was directed at her.
Aunt Yang's face turned blue and red, and her hand holding the chopsticks trembled.
So many years have passed, and Xu Zhengnan has grown up now, but Xu Wanting still refuses to call her "sister-in-law", not even as a polite word.
As soon as I heard "Sister Yang", I knew what kind of status she held in the Xu family.
If she had given birth to a daughter, I'm afraid the Xu family wouldn't even look at her now. That's the reality.
If it weren't for Xu Zhengnan's father's last wish, she wouldn't have been so determined to let Xu Zhengnan return to the Xu family. I couldn't personally experience the pain in her heart, but I could guess it.
"Aunt." I opened my mouth. Xu Zhengnan was about to speak, but when he heard my voice, he stopped.
Xu Wanting looked at me, still with a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes were very beautiful. Anyone who saw her would think that she was an easy-going person. When we had dinner together before, she was chatting and laughing with her husband, and had a very good chat with everyone at the dinner table. I was not familiar with her at all at that time, and I just said hello. Shen Yixiao was focusing on chatting with her husband about some things, and did not notice her, nor did he know that she was Xu Zhengnan's aunt.
I put down my chopsticks, my smile faded a little. "Today's dishes were all made by Aunt Yang herself. Her family and I are neighbors, and I have played in her house since I was a child. She cooks sumptuous meals for her husband and son every day, keeps the house in order, and gets along well with the people around her. In our eyes, she is a very kind and gentle person."
"When Uncle Xu was alive, he loved her the most. He would not let her suffer any injustice, not even from his son."
"Now that Uncle Xu has passed away, you, as Uncle Xu's biological sister, refused to even call her 'sister-in-law' and embarrassed her in front of us. Isn't that a bit too much?"
I didn't want to be so aggressive, but seeing Aunt Yang being bullied, I got really furious.
In my impression, Xu Zhengnan's father was really good to her, even my mother would envy him. My father was already very good, but because he didn't handle the relationship with my grandparents well and was a bit foolishly filial, my mother suffered some grievances. Xu Zhengnan's father directly broke off relations with his family for Aunt Yang, and Aunt Yang had almost no relationship with the mother-in-law.
If Xu Zhengnan's father knew about this, he would definitely be angry.
After hearing what I said, Xu Wanting lost her smile. Even her two children noticed that the atmosphere was wrong. They looked at each other.
At this time, Xu Zhengnan said to the two children, "I have some model toys and Lego in my study. You can go and play with them for a while."
The two children were sensible. They immediately put down their bowls and chopsticks and went to Xu Zhengnan's study.
At the dinner table, there were only a few adults like us, so we could talk openly about some things.
Aunt Yang looked at me and shook her head, signaling me to stop talking. She invited Xu Wanting and others to dinner this time, partly for Xu Zhengnan and partly to let the Xu family know me and accept me.
I appreciate her kindness, but I can't just sit there and watch her suffer.
"Ms. Li, I don't think you are qualified to interfere in our family affairs for the time being." Xu Wanting's smile faded, and her tone became colder. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and looked at Aunt Yang, "Sister Yang, our family never agreed to what happened between you and my brother. You didn't even inform us of your wedding. You made my brother break off relations with our family, and you made my mother so angry that she fell ill. Who will take responsibility for this?"
Aunt Yang took a deep breath and said, "Wanting, I should have advised your brother not to be so impulsive. I was a little cowardly and didn't try my best to stop him. I'm sorry."
"Aunt Yang, this is not your fault!" I raised my voice.
Xu Wanting immediately turned her attention to me, "Yes, I know you understand her very well. After all, you have had the same experience."
She was talking about Shen Yixiao and me. After Shen Yixiao became a so-called celebrity, he mentioned the stories between us repeatedly on the screen as a tool to shape his image as a loving wife, so many people knew about our experiences, and Xu Wanting must have investigated them.
When Aunt Yang heard Xu Wanting start to belittle me again, she couldn't help it. "Wanting, don't go too far! I wanted to have this meal to bring our family closer together, not for you to target Xiaoyue. She is a good girl, and there must be a reason why Zhengnan likes her. How can you say that about her?"
Xu Wanting didn't care at all. "A family? Since you gave birth to Zhengnan, we can barely be considered a family. Li Yue is just pregnant now, not having given birth yet, so she and I can't be considered a family."
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Zhengnan stood up.
He looked down at Xu Wanting, without a trace of warmth in his eyes, "Since you are not a family with us, you can take your family and leave."
After saying that, he walked to the entrance door of the living room, opened the door, and ordered everyone to leave. "Now, immediately, get out of my sight."
Xu Wanting didn't expect that she would be driven out so blatantly. After all, she was Xu Zhengnan's aunt, and her husband and children were there now. It would be a joke if the whole family was driven out.
She sat still, "Zhengnan, your mother really taught you bad things. I am your elder. Do you think it is appropriate for you to talk to me like this?"
"My mother is your sister-in-law. Do you have any respect for her?" Xu Zhengnan sneered. "Also, Li Yue is my future wife and the mother of my child. Do you have any love for the younger generation? You are not welcome here. If you insist on making trouble for yourself, I don't mind asking the property management to send you off."
Hearing this, Xu Wanting's husband couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up with a frown on his face. "Zhengnan, as your uncle, this is my first time to come to your house for a meal, and you are so rude? Also, you can't talk to your aunt like that."
"When she was talking about my mother and Li Yue just now, you didn't say a word. Why can't you sit still now?" Xu Zhengnan didn't take this so-called uncle seriously. He had a great aversion to everyone in the Xu family. It was just that his attitude had eased a little during this period because of Grandpa Xu's illness.
