In the end, he could only point at Xia Zhichu and say, "You...you..." but he couldn't finish the sentence.
"There's another thing I'm afraid you don't know. The money I use to support my family is what I've saved from working part-time over the years. It's not Shen Liang's hard-earned money at all."
Mother Shen originally wanted to embarrass Xia Zhichu, but she ended up being defeated by her. She was so angry that her blood was boiling and she held her chest and gasped for breath.
"Xia Zhichu, you are so shameless. You can actually say such words."
Putting it this way, it seemed as if she was the one who suffered the loss, and everything the Shen family had paid was taken for granted.
Mother Shen couldn't argue with her, so she could only lie on the table and cry miserably, completely forgetting that tonight was the wedding of her son and his new daughter-in-law, and in an instant attracted many guests to watch.
Xia Zhichu was too lazy to pay attention. She knew Shen's mother too well. She was sure that she would start crying, making a fuss, and even threatening to commit suicide.
She's already tired of this kind of drama!
So, he just looked down at her with his arms folded, without a trace of sympathy on his face.
Si Mochen just looked at her quietly. He didn't expect that this little woman was so good at arguing with people. Every word she said hit the nail on the head, leaving people speechless.
But he also felt sorry for Xia Zhichu's past, as she had been treated like this by the Shen family.
If Xia Zhichu hadn't stopped him just now, he would have used money to shut up Shen's mother, but now Xia Zhichu completely shirked her responsibility without spending a penny, which made Si Mochen think more highly of her.
Who said his woman is a weak little white rabbit?
In his eyes, this was a little wild cat with sharp claws and fangs. If anyone dared to bully her, she would definitely scratch the other person until they bled.
"Everyone, come and look! This woman is my ex-wife. She can't stand our family getting along well, so she came to the wedding to disrupt it and bully me, an old lady!"
Shen's mother began to play the victim and spread rumors about Xia Zhichu.
The gossipy women nearby were upset because Xia Zhichu had just refused them help, and now they also started to throw a tantrum.
In an instant, the whole scene was in chaos.
Xia Zhichu didn't say anything and just let Shen's mother make a fuss. After all, the bigger the fuss got, the more embarrassed the Shen family would be in the end.
Here, Shen Liang and Zhou Qing were still entertaining guests when they suddenly heard the noise and rushed over.
When Shen Liang saw his mother crying miserably and Xia Zhichu standing beside her with cold eyes, he felt as if his face was torn apart and rubbed on the ground.
As for Zhou Qing, he looked at the scene with disdain and even shouted out rudely, "Aliang, your mother is embarrassed to be like this. With so many relatives here, where will my parents put their face?"
Chen Liang also lost face. The wedding banquet turned into a joke because of his mother's interference.
Xia Zhichu must be dealt with, but definitely not now.
Now his mother's move has ruined all his plans.
Shen Liang felt uncomfortable and ignored his crying mother. He shouted at her fiercely, "Mom, today is Qingqing and I's wedding. Can you please give us some face and stop making trouble?"
Shen's mother was already so angry at Xia Zhichu that her heart ached, and now her son was so fierce that she felt so wronged that she was devastated. She was about to scold Shen Liang for being unfilial, but she saw the people from her in-laws rushing over, so she quickly shut her mouth.
The Zhou family is a scholarly family and they value face the most. If they continue to make trouble, they will not gain any advantage.
"Xia Zhichu, you have such a cruel heart! You actually want to make fun of all of us! Just wait, a woman with a vicious heart like you will get her retribution sooner or later!"
Mother Shen transferred all her hatred to Xia Zhichu. Her eyes were wide open as if she was about to vomit, and she looked like she wanted to rush over and tear her tendons and bones apart.
Facing Mother Shen's unfriendly look, Xia Zhichu remained calm, then smiled politely, "Auntie, you are accusing me of something. I didn't do anything, how can you be so cruel? Also, please help me judge who was insulting me just now?"
"Also, speaking of retribution... I don't know when I will get retribution, but I know that your Shen family's retribution will come soon!"
“You…you…” Mother Shen was so angry that she almost couldn’t catch her breath. She pointed at Xia Zhichu and rolled her eyes.
“That’s enough!”
Shen Liang couldn't bear it any longer, so he yelled at Shen's mother again, and then dragged her away to prevent her from continuing to make trouble.
After just a few steps, Shen Liang turned around and glanced at Xia Zhichu.
That look was so eerie and scary!
Xia Zhichu didn't notice it, but the suspicious Si Mochen clearly sensed the hostility. He slowly turned his head and met Shen Liang's fierce eyes.
At that moment, a flash of light like a spark of lightning was ignited.
Compared to Si Mochen, Shen Liang was a good-hearted but cowardly loser. Now being stared at by a man who had beaten him half to death, Shen Liang finally looked away in shame.
However, Shen Liang's hands on his legs were squeezing so hard that his bones creaked!
Si Mochen sneered disdainfully, then put his arm around Xia Zhichu's waist and said gently, "Are you tired?"
Xia Zhichu hummed, "Arguing is indeed tiring. It's too time-consuming."
"Then go upstairs and take a rest. It's our own hotel after all, so we can use any room we want."
It was originally a normal sentence, but for some reason, Xia Zhichu heard a hint of flirting when it came out of Si Mochen's mouth. The key point was that he said the word "get a room", which made Xia Zhichu even more uncomfortable.
"The wedding banquet isn't over yet, it's too early to rest now."
Xia Zhichu didn't want to get a room. Who knows what will happen while they are resting? The key point is that Si Mochen is so close to her at the moment, and he is dressed so beautifully tonight. What she is worried about is not what he will do to her, but that her fujoshi side will be exposed and she will take the initiative to eat him alive.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhichu's face inexplicably turned red again.
Seeing this, Si Mochen leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Then stay here tonight. I'll ask Yan Sen to arrange a room for you."
Xia Zhichu shuddered when he heard that, and shook his head vigorously, saying, "Forget it, go home and sleep...it's more comfortable."
It's not that she is pretentious, but she is particular about her bed.
Besides, sleeping outside is not as relaxing as being at home.
Si Mochen thought about it seriously, then nodded in agreement, "Okay, then make me...comfortable tonight!"
Xia Zhichu was already very upset, and after being teased by the man like this, she was completely embarrassed. She immediately turned around and threw herself into his arms and acted coquettishly, "Stop talking. This is a wedding banquet. It would be embarrassing if someone heard it."
Si Mochen hummed, "Okay, we'll talk about it slowly after we get home."
After saying that, he bent down and kissed her hair, making Xia Zhichu blush.
