Chapter 1: Being Insulted



"Is it your turn to eat delicious food, drink spicy drinks, and go to the same university as your sister?"

"I really don't know how to appreciate my blessings!"

Hearing this, Xia Xingchen's eyes turned cold and her mouth was still. Yes! If it weren't for her grandmother's face, she wouldn't even bother to come here?

Cui Jingshu thought that being able to live in the Li family was a blessing she had earned in eight lifetimes? In fact, in her eyes, living in the Li family was a lifelong shame.

If it weren't for her grandmother, she wouldn't want to stay here for even a minute.

"Then I really have to thank you very much." Xia Xingchen slowly raised his head and looked directly at Cui Jingshu.

Cui Jingshu thought Xia Xingchen had come to her senses, and her anger subsided a little. "That's more like it."

Having said that, he sat down.

But before she could sit still, Xia Xingchen's cold voice rang in her ears: "Thank you for abandoning me in the countryside and running to the Li family to enjoy a good life."

Xia Xingchen was just taken back to the Li family this year. Before that, she and her grandmother depended on each other in the countryside.

For Xia Xingchen, her grandmother is the best and most important person in the world to her. No matter what humiliation and grievances she suffers, she just wants to stay by her grandmother's side and fulfill her filial piety.

These words were so harsh to Cui Jingshu's ears!

"You..." Cui Jingshu was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Her face was flushed. She didn't feel full after the meal, but she felt full of anger. Xia Xingkong, who was standing next to her, saw that the situation was not good and quickly put a piece of beef into Cui Jingshu's bowl. "Mom, this piece of beef is the most tender, the kind that melts in your mouth. Come and try it."

Li Zhenglin also tried to persuade them: "It's rare for a family to get together for a meal. What are you doing? No matter what, we are still a family. Why are you so angry?"

As she spoke, she scolded Cui Jingshu, "You too, you're already old, why are you still angry with a child? Xingchen is still a child after all. She just became an adult this year. Can't you be more tolerant of her?"

When Li Zhenglin said this, Xia Xingchen had been staring at him, with a complex look in his eyes, and then he curved his lips into a cold smile.

Seeing that there was not much red wine left on the table, Li Zhenglin quickly called the waiter to open another bottle and said, "Let's clink glasses together and shake off all the unhappiness."

As he spoke, Li Zhenglin asked the waiter to pour a glass of red wine for everyone, except for his grandmother, because his grandmother was in poor health and could not drink.

When the waiter was about to place the last glass of red wine in front of Xia Xingchen, when no one was paying attention, Li Zhenglin and the waiter looked at each other, and the waiter showed a strange smile, as if to say: Done.

Immediately afterwards, Li Zhenglin began to stand up, and Xia Xingkong also stood up tactfully. Seeing this, Cui Jingshu also stood up reluctantly.

Several people stood up, but Xia Xingchen remained as steady as a rock on the chair!

Li Zhenglin was slightly angry: "Xingchen, that's enough."

Seeing that Li Zhenglin had acted as a peacemaker, grandma didn't want Xia Xingchen to be targeted like this, so she had to speak out to mediate: "Xia Xia..."

Before her grandmother finished speaking, Xia Xingchen understood what she meant. She stood up and picked up the red wine.

Li Zhenglin: "Today's unpleasantness ends here. After this, we are still a family. Cheers!"

Xia Xingchen watched Li Zhenglin gulp down the red wine in his glass and thought to himself: I want to see what tricks you are playing!
