Chapter 245 245 Flipping the Table
A faint killing intent formed in Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes as her sharp gaze swept across the entire scene.
A pair of large hands appeared just in time and covered Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes.
"I'm fine, sweetie, wait for dinner in a bit."
A warm, low murmur rang in Qin Xiaoxiao's ear, instantly calming her inner turmoil.
Qin Xiaoxiao took two deep breaths and nodded slightly.
Su Lu smiled and put his hand down, then placed the water bottle hanging around his neck into Qin Xiaoxiao's hand.
The interaction between the two attracted the attention of everyone present. The crowd looked at them with complicated expressions, some disdainful, some contemptuous, some envious, and some jealous. Widow Yao showed a loving expression, then turned to look at her daughter. Seeing her daughter's blank expression, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Although Su Lu's reputation was somewhat tarnished, his character was truly impeccable. She had initially taken a liking to Su Lu, but her daughter...
It’s all fate!
Soon the Su family started their feast. The food wasn't very good because everyone had come at the last minute and the Su family hadn't prepared anything. It was already good enough that everyone could eat their fill.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu didn't mind and ate heartily.
This might be their last meal at the Su family's house, so they might as well take advantage of it; they might not have such a good opportunity next time.
The eight sisters-in-law could hardly hide the disdain in their eyes, but with Grandpa Su and Grandma Su present, they dared not act rashly and could only suppress their displeasure and pretend not to see it.
They may not be able to see, but their family members who come cannot.
"You eat like you haven't eaten in eight hundred years. Has the Su family been starving you or depriving you of food or drink? You eat like beggars, with no manners at all. Is this how the Su family raises you?"
Grandma Gao slammed her chopsticks down, put on a stern face, and began to lecture everyone present.
Gao Laidi was startled and immediately tried to speak.
"What business is it of yours how I eat? Who gave you the audacity to come to my house and lecture me? My grandparents and parents haven't said anything, so what makes you think you're so important?"
I've eaten and drunk your food; if you don't want it, get out.
Su Lu wouldn't indulge her. If she wanted to be the head of the Su family, she'd have to see if her daughter had the ability.
Grandma Gao was furious and turned around to have her sons teach Su Lu a lesson. But when she looked back, she was shocked to see that her sons were eating without even raising their heads, as if they hadn't heard her. She immediately got angry again.
Qin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and glanced at Old Madam Gao. "I'm not a member of the Su family. I'm just here to eat at the banquet. In a way, I'm the same as you. We're both guests. How can a guest lecture other guests on behalf of the host?"
"Old lady, eat your food properly. Don't act like you're old and incompetent; you're getting worse as you get older."
Grandma Gao was rebuked again and was about to explode.
"Brother Lai, are you just going to stand by and watch your mother be bullied by that little slut?"
Gao Laidi had wanted to speak for a long time. She didn't dare to confront Su Lu, but she wasn't afraid of Qin Xiaoxiao. Although she had been beaten up by Qin Xiaoxiao a few days ago, she was still Qin Xiaoxiao's future sister-in-law. She didn't believe that Qin Xiaoxiao would dare to embarrass her in front of so many people, unless she didn't want to marry into the Su family.
"Sister-in-law, you..."
Qin Xiaoxiao raised her hand to stop Gao Laidi, "No, I haven't married into the Su family yet, so it has nothing to do with you. Even if I do enter the Su family one day, it's not your place to lecture me."
Gao Laidi laughed in exasperation, "What? You criticized my mother, and I'm not allowed to talk back? You're being too domineering!"
"I'm just that domineering. I never suffer a loss when it comes to what I eat. What? Haven't you had enough of a beating? Want to go again?"
Qin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and a chilling killing intent shot straight at Gao Laidi.
"you!"
Gao Laidi wanted to speak, but was startled by Qin Xiaoxiao's murderous aura. He took a step back to avoid her, but forgot that she was sitting in a chair. As he took the step back, he immediately fell backward.
With a thud, Gao Laidi fell to the ground. Her brothers put down their bowls, got up to help her up, and stared at Qin Xiaoxiao with wide eyes.
"Little girl from the Qin family, you've got a sharp tongue, but I wonder if you can handle this slap from me?"
Boss Gao raised his hand as if to hit Qin Xiaoxiao.
Su Lu wanted to stop him and was about to stand up when Qin Xiaoxiao pressed his hand down, signaling him not to move.
Qin Xiaoxiao glanced disdainfully at Gao Laoda, then gripped the edge of the table with both hands. Just as Gao Laoda was about to strike, she forcefully lifted her arms, flipping the entire table to the ground.
With a series of loud crashes, all the bowls and chopsticks on the table fell to the ground and shattered.
The round table not only blocked Boss Gao's slap, but also caused him to slap the table, making him wail in pain while holding his right hand.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Apart from Su Lu and Qin Xiaoxiao, everyone else sitting at the table was also affected, their clothes covered in soup and water, and they screamed and got up to avoid it.
Qin Xiaoxiao and Su Lu remained calmly seated, watching the crowd erupt in anger.
At another table, Old Master Su put down his wine glass, sighed, and closed his eyes without saying a word.
"Qin Xiaoxiao, you've gone too far! How could you flip the table?"
Gao Laidi immediately jumped out to make accusations, but unexpectedly, he was slapped across the face by Qin Xiaoxiao.
"You think I'm being too polite? Who do you think you are, daring to point at me like that? Face is a good thing, if you don't want it anymore, just say so, and I'll take it off for you."
Qin Xiaoxiao slapped Gao Laidi with all her might, and the blow was quite heavy, causing his originally fair cheek to immediately swell and turn red.
When Su Ming saw that his wife had been beaten, he immediately got up to hit Qin Xiaoxiao, but after taking two steps he suddenly realized that he couldn't beat Qin Xiaoxiao and shrank back.
After hitting the person, Qin Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at her hand.
Su Lu quickly grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand, carefully blew on it, and said, "Why did you hit her? She's so shameless, what if she hurt your hand? Tell me who you want to teach a lesson next time, and I'll do it."
"Look at your hands, they're all red and swollen. This won't do, Su Ming, give me the money, I need to take my wife to the hospital."
Su Ming was furious. Pointing at Qin Xiaoxiao, he said, "You want me to pay? Qin Xiaoxiao is the one who hit my wife. I'm already being lenient by not making her pay. You still want money from me? Are you out of your mind?"
Su Lu was furious and stood up to confront Su Ming. "Who are you calling mentally ill? I think you're the one who's mentally ill. Don't you even look at your wife? Is she more delicate than my wife? My wife's hands are so soft. And look at your wife's face, it's like old tree bark. My wife would even find it too rough to hit."
After Su Lu finished speaking, he lowered his head and blew on Qin Xiaoxiao's hand again, "Wife, is your hand alright? Can you tell if it's cut?"
Everyone in the audience was so shocked by what they saw that they were speechless.
Your wife slaps someone's face, and you even check if her hand is broken? Is that how you treat people?
Everyone looked at Gao Laidi.
This face isn't as pretty or as youthful as Qin Xiaoxiao's, but it's still acceptable, much better than the average country woman.
But then look back at Qin Xiaoxiao and her hands.
Well, I'm no match for others.
