Chapter 390: Obvious Disdain
The groom Fu Mingyuan was particularly happy today. Not only did he marry the girl he had always dreamed of, but he also received praise from all the guests.
The guests present all said, explicitly or implicitly, that he was more than worthy of the bride, which made him feel both proud and honored.
Before, Yanyan relied on her youth and beauty to feel superior in front of him, which made him feel a little uneasy.
Now everyone unanimously said that he was better and Yanyan was not worthy of him, which made his anxiety disappear.
Fu Mingyuan, with a rosy face, held his young wife's hand and went to toast everyone together.
He had been a factory manager for decades and was eloquent, and he made the guests who came to congratulate him very happy.
Those people praised him without hesitation, mostly exaggerating how talented he was and how increasingly handsome he was.
Although he is older, he and his bride are a perfect match.
The groom was flattered to the point of being overjoyed, but the bride was very unhappy, and some people secretly ridiculed her.
There were also a few middle-aged women who kept toasting the groom with wine, and implicitly said that the bride was not worthy of him.
She said that he was a big factory director and it was lucky for her to marry a vase like her. It was a blessing from God that turned her from a country chicken into a phoenix.
Jiang Ruyan was so angry that she vomited blood, but she didn't dare to quarrel with those aunts on her wedding day.
What made her even angrier was that when she and the groom went to the Xiao family's table to toast, those good-looking young men said they couldn't drink.
It would be fine if they couldn't drink, but at least they could say a few words of blessing to them. But they just didn't say a word.
The only thing that made Jiang Ruyan feel relieved was that many of the guests coming today were her parents and brothers' direct superiors.
She usually gives a hard time to her father and brothers, but today she drank first to show respect in front of her brothers.
He looked like he really wanted to curry favor with the Jiang brothers, which made Jiang Ruyan feel relieved.
When she returns to her parents' home, she can be proud in front of her sisters-in-law. It doesn't matter if she doesn't have the protection of her uncle's family! From now on, she will still be the proud Jiang Ruyan, and no one will dare to despise her.
What Jiang Ruyan didn't know was that what those aunties said about the country chicken turning into a phoenix was what Xiao Xuanxuan from the Xiao family told them.
Because Xiaoxuanxuan is so cute and has a sweet mouth, everyone believes him as soon as he opens his mouth.
As the groom's father-in-law, Uncle Jiang naturally sat at the same table with his relative, Mr. Fu.
Those who sat at the same table with Mr. Fu were all people of status, and they would give Uncle Jiang some face for Mr. Fu's sake.
Second Uncle Jiang was a person who loved to flatter people. How could he let go of this opportunity? He talked the most about his good son-in-law, and he spoke with sincerity.
The old face was full of wrinkles from smiling, and every wrinkle seemed to show off that he had a very capable son-in-law.
Mr. Fu actually looked down on this relative, but his son married their daughter after all.
"I want to toast my in-laws. I am old and cannot drink with them."
Uncle Fu Si saw that Mr. Fu looked unhappy, so he immediately picked up his glass and said, "Uncle Jiang, I'll have a drink with you."
"Mingxuan, you should also go and entertain everyone and make sure everyone has good food and drink." Grandpa Fu reminded the fourth son again.
"Dad, don't worry. Guests are welcome. Your son should entertain everyone. Uncle Xia, I'll toast you a glass."
After finishing his glass, Fourth Uncle Fu filled another glass to toast the elderly people at the table who were not as good as their Fu family: "My dear uncles, I toast to you."
After he finished toasting the whole table, he first rushed over angrily to Xiaoxuanxuan, who was standing on a stool and talking loudly.
Seeing that everyone at that table was a member of the Xiao family, whom he could not afford to offend, he could only hold back his anger in his heart.
He immediately put on a smiling face and raised his glass to toast: "Brother, I'll toast you a glass, please feel free to do as you please."
"Brother-in-law, you are too polite." The eldest son of the Xiao family really took a symbolic sip.
Fourth Uncle Fu didn't mind. He filled another glass and raised it to toast everyone: "Nephews, come and have a drink with your uncle."
Several adult grandchildren of the Xiao family raised the wine glasses in front of them and said in unison: "We toast to Uncle, you are welcome to do as you please."
But how could Fourth Uncle Fu dare to be casual when facing the grandchildren of the Xiao family? He drank it all in one gulp.
"Uncle, Xiao Xuanxuan doesn't know how to drink." Xiao Xiaoxuan was still standing on the stool, not giving any face at all.
"We can't drink either, please forgive us, uncle." A little girl said crisply.
Fourth Uncle Fu was a very smooth person, and he was used to being humble in the Xiao family, so no one in the Xiao family, young or old, disliked him.
But it is not certain how much she likes him. If Fu Guoguo saw her fourth uncle like this, she would definitely be shocked.
Uncle Fu's amiable appearance is completely different from his sarcastic and mean appearance in front of the siblings.
Fu Guoguo didn't go home, so she naturally didn't know that her fourth uncle had two faces.

At this moment, she was happily weeding with Gu Jiaojiao. She worked very efficiently and one could tell that she worked regularly when seeing her like this.
After pulling the weeds, Gu Jiaojiao scraped a handful of green chives: "Guoguo, I'll teach you how to make chive dumplings later. I haven't eaten them for a long time."
Fu Guoguo blinked her big eyes: "Sister-in-law, what is a leek box?"
"Chive box is a traditional delicacy made with chives, eggs and flour as the main ingredients. It is a very popular traditional snack in many places."
"We also grow chives in our yard, as well as eggs and flour. I must learn how to grow them."
"Some are leeks with dried shrimps or pork, but the leek dumplings with egg as the main filling are not greasy, taste good and are very nutritious."
Gu Jiaojiao took Fu Guoguo to the kitchen and taught her step by step. Soon Fu Guoguo could do it on his own.
But the chive dumplings she made were not as delicious as Gu Jiaojiao's and were a bit eye-catching.
The leek dumplings made by Gu Jiaojiao have a golden and crispy crust, and the leek filling is crispy and tender with a delicious taste.
"Wow, what my sister-in-law made looks so good. I'll give these to my eldest brother!"
"Go back and practice more, and you will be able to do it as beautifully in the future." Gu Jiaojiao said bluntly.
"Jiaojiao, what do you mean by beautifully done?" Su Shuoci heard Gu Jiaojiao say it was beautifully done as soon as he entered the living room.
"You're back. I made chive dumplings today. Wash your hands and get ready to eat."
"Okay." Su Shuoci's face, which was as cold and hard as a sword, became as soft as a spring breeze when he saw his wife.
But in Fu Guoguo's eyes, if someone said that Su Shuoci was really a spring breeze, then it would be an early spring breeze with a chilly chill.
"Brother Su is back, I'm going home." After saying this, Fu Guoguo quickly walked away holding a bowl of chive dumplings she had made.
"What the hell are you holding a bowl of?" Su Shuoci asked, trying not to laugh, his face showing obvious disgust.
Fu Guoguo lowered his head and ran faster, almost falling on the threshold.
"You, why are you scaring her!" Gu Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at the man, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
