"We're going to visit her sister, and she doesn't seem too happy about it."
Someone said strangely.
"I think there must be something fishy going on here. Zheng Ruyue was fine yesterday, so how could she be so sick that she can't come today?"
Who doesn't know Zheng Ruyue's temper!
She loves to show off. In such occasions, unless she is dying or has a broken leg, she will have someone push her over.
"I heard that Xiao Yanjun has always refused to acknowledge Zheng Ruyue as his stepmother, let alone Zheng Ruyue as his cheap aunt. I guess he didn't allow her to come."
"Maybe it's true. Mr. Xiao was so cold to his first wife, but now that he's married, he keeps her by his side. If it were any other child, he would definitely feel bad."
They were all the original wives, so they looked down on Zheng Rumeng, who came to power later and was very favored.
Especially Zheng Rumeng, who pretended to be delicate all day long, which made them feel uncomfortable.
Out of consideration for the Xiao family's reputation, they complimented her on the surface, but privately, no one recognized her.
As soon as the topic was brought up, everyone started gossiping.
"Speaking of which, Zheng Rumeng is really capable. She managed to coax Mr. Xiao into loving her so much. We really need to learn from her."
"What are you studying? He's many years younger than Mr. Xiao. We can't compare to him in that respect."
"Did you notice that the bracelet on Lin Xiaoxiao's wrist looks like the Xiao family's heirloom bracelet. I've seen Mother Xiao wear it before."
After being reminded of this, everyone looked over and took a closer look, and it was indeed true.
Then someone else said, "Zheng Rumeng has been in the Xiao family for so many years, but she seems to have never worn it. She said she kept it. In my opinion, the Xiao family never gave it to her at all."
Everyone was laughing at Zheng Rumeng.
Then the topic turned to Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Although Lin Xiaoxiao is from the countryside, she doesn't look like one at all. She looks like a young lady from a wealthy family."
"Who says it's not true? I heard her brother is doing business now. He has even made it to Haicheng and has even been featured in the newspapers."
"No wonder Mr. Xiao is so satisfied with his daughter-in-law..."
Although they both came from the countryside, people's opinions of Zheng Rumeng and Lin Xiaoxiao were very different.
Lin Xiaoxiao was unaware of these comments. She only knew that her mouth was stiff from smiling that day.
The Xiao family is usually quite low-key, and Xiao Yanjun doesn't seem to have any social engagements. Who would have thought that so many people would show up for this engagement?
Isn’t it said that the Xiao family is usually very low-key?
Also, no gifts were accepted for the engagement, and Xiaonan Restaurant is closed for one day today. Tomorrow, as an apology, they will give a 20% discount to every table of diners, and a 50% discount to those who came today but didn't have a meal. How much will this cost?
After doing the math, Lin Xiaoxiao felt so distressed, because all this money would be their family's from now on.
…
After a tiring day, Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to take a hot bath when she returned to the villa at night, and she felt extremely comfortable immediately.
Xiao Yanjun returned to the room only after she came out of the bathroom.
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know if it was her illusion, but she felt that Xiao Yanjun was different today than usual, as if they had returned to the night when they first lived together. His gaze was even hotter than that night.
Lin Xiaoxiao's heart started pounding when she was stared at. She had lived two lives, so she knew very well what this meant.
"Well, go take a shower first!"
