Chapter 245: Turning Away in Public
To be honest, Lan Hui really looked down on this kind of program. When Liao Jiake said she wanted to participate, she felt it was embarrassing and beneath her status.
Now that she sees that the show has received good response, Lan Hui has become even more hypocritical.
"That's just a random suggestion they made. We're not forced to agree to it, so we can refuse it." Liao Jiake's tone suddenly softened. She leaned over to Lan Hui, trying to persuade her to change her mind: "Mom, the deadline for collecting opinions hasn't come yet. Let's change the option."
However, when Lan Hui heard her say this, she instantly became unhappy.
She coldly pushed Liao Jiake's hand away from her arm and put on a stern face. "Keke, what's wrong with you today? That's the opinion form the program team sent me. Don't I even have the right to make my own choice?"
Lan Hui's temper is unpredictable. She doesn't care what the occasion is and directly expresses her dissatisfaction.
They happened to be in the center of the mall, with a lot of people coming and going around. Lan Hui's voice was a bit sharp, and she attracted the attention of passers-by as soon as she opened her mouth.
Liao Jiake noticed that some passers-by began to look in their direction. Her expression became a little stiff and she couldn't help but lower her head.
She was dragged out shopping by Lan Hui at short notice, so she didn't wear any makeup, but she was still worried that passers-by would recognize her.
Liao Jiake said softly, "Mom, I'm just... afraid of disturbing you while recording the show at home."
Lan Hui looked at her coldly and said bluntly, "Well, I've already agreed now, so you're just saying this. Don't you think it's redundant?"
"..." Liao Jiake was completely speechless after being confronted.
"Alright, alright." Seeing the atmosphere suddenly quiet down, Lin Youjuan quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Lan Hui, we're still outside, please mind your image."
She just stood aside without saying a word. She usually couldn't win an argument with Lan Hui. Now seeing Liao Jiake being humiliated in front of Lan Hui, Lin Youjuan felt sorry for the girl.
After all, Liao Jiake is a public figure. If someone sees her mother-in-law turning her down in public, she will lose face if it gets out.
After a moment of silence, Liao Jiake said to them, "Mom, Aunt Juan, I'm feeling a little unwell, so I'll go back first. You guys continue shopping."
After saying that, Liao Jiake left without looking back.
Lan Hui's emotions were intensified when she saw this. She pointed at Liao Jiake's back and said angrily, "You're rebelling against her. That's why she didn't let me agree to let them record the show. She thinks I'm embarrassing, right?"
Lin Youjuan comforted her: "Don't be angry, she doesn't necessarily disagree because she thinks you are embarrassing."
…
When Liao Jiake returned home, she saw Xu Zeyi there, but she didn't go up to him and get close to him as usual.
Xu Zeyi: "Wife, you're back."
After Liao Jiake changed her shoes at the entrance, she walked towards the main hall, but her eyes passed directly over Xu Zeyi.
Seeing Liao Jiake looking unhappy, Xu Zeyi suddenly walked over and grabbed her, asking curiously, "What's wrong with you? Who made you unhappy?"
Liao Jiake was blocked by him and was forced to stop. She looked at him and, because she was angry, her tone was a little harsh: "Your mother."
"Why are you still cursing?" This time, Xu Zeyi frowned even deeper.
Liao Jiake looked at the man she hadn't seen in a long time, and she felt wronged. Her eyes turned red, and she almost burst into tears. "I went shopping with your mother out of kindness, but she actually treated me badly regardless of the occasion. Who can stand this?"
