Chen Shuning was telling the truth; He Chaoyang had indeed been on the train for several days and only arrived in Beijing at noon today.
As everyone knows, and given that Chen Shuning is pregnant, no one thought much of her excuse and let the two of them go back and rest.
Only Chen Shuting, who couldn't stand seeing others do well, spoke up sarcastically: "Oh, it's different now that you've married into a wealthy family. You're really putting on airs. There are still all the elders at the table, and you're already leaving."
"Second Uncle and Second Aunt, you've really spoiled Sister Ning rotten! Can she manage in her husband's family like this? Don't let her end up making people think our Chen family has bad upbringing, especially since her husband's family is a respectable one."
Before Chen Shuting could react, He Chaoyang, who had just stood up and was helping his wife to leave, frowned and looked at Chen Shuting sitting in the corner with a cold gaze. He said coldly, "I thought this was just an ordinary family dinner. I didn't expect there to be such big rules. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have let Shuting come."
Given her current health condition, even my parents wouldn't dare let her endure discomfort and wait until the elders left the table before getting off.
Then He Chaoyang looked at Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen and said, "I'm sorry, Grandpa and Grandma, our He family doesn't have such strict rules. My grandpa and grandma spoiled Shuning. When we were in Longquan Mountain, she could eat whenever she wanted and leave whenever she wanted."
Even if it were the old comrades-in-arms or former colleagues of the elderly couple coming to visit, Shuning wouldn't need to stay and eat with them until the meal was over.
Although He Chaoyang said sorry, his words contained no remorse whatsoever.
Instead, it made everyone in the room feel embarrassed and ashamed. What kind of family was the He family? The old man was a founding general, and the old woman was a true lady from a prestigious family.
Chen Shuning didn't need to accompany his comrades and colleagues from beginning to end when they came to visit his home.
The Chen family, going back eight generations, were all genuine farmers. For a family like theirs to talk about rules with the He family would be like showing off their skills in front of Guan Yu, making a fool of themselves!
Moreover, He Chaoyang said from the beginning that this was just a family dinner, but Chen Shuting brought up the rules, which was truly a joke.
