Chapter 510: Chapter 503: Observing Proper Etiquette
This is the first time Bai Yiranâs family has appeared in such an occasion. People previously knew Bai Yiran had a father named Bai Hongguang, and they were familiar with the events of the Bai Family back then. As for other members of her maternal family, people had not really heard about them.
When they found out Cheng Gang and Xia Lian are Bai Yiranâs uncle and aunt, those who had previously looked down on them quietly felt relieved inside, realizing that appearances can be deceiving. They were glad they hadnât shown any disdain in words, or they would be embarrassed now...
In comparison, Old Xu and his wife werenât as lucky. Their expressions now looked as unpleasant as if they had swallowed a fly.
Bai Yiranâs face remained smiling, but in the eyes of Old Xu and his wife, that smile felt unusually cold.
"Now that everyoneâs been introduced, let me speak up for you, Mrs. Xu."
Bai Yiranâs spiritual eyes turned towards Old Xu and his wife. Mrs. Xuâs body stiffened suddenly, she opened her mouth but couldnât utter a word.
Old Xu awkwardly smiled, "So weâre all family... haha... No need to trouble the Presidentâs wife... Let it go, let it go!"
At this point, if Old Xu kept pressing on, heâd truly be a fool.
"Hmph! Whoâs family with you? Didnât you say weâre just cats and dogs? So what now? Or are you two as well?" Young Cheng Shishi, hearing Old Xuâs words, directly retorted.
Pfft!
A burst of snickers arose around them, clearly mocking Old Xuâs self-contradiction.
Seeing the reaction, Old Xu awkwardly smiled and wiped the sweat off his forehead with his hand.
Heâs just a minor shareholder; offending the Presidentâs wifeâs maternal family is practically inviting disaster.
"Haha, donât say that..." Old Xu tugged at his wife. "We were wrong today, speaking out without understanding the situation. Really sorry!"
Upon hearing Old Xuâs apology, knowing that todayâs issue would rest here, and that it was impossible to fight for her justice any further, Mrs. Xu glanced at her dress, bit her lip unwillingly, yet dared not say anything more.
Theyâre Bai Yiranâs uncle and aunt, is she really suicidal enough to tear face with Bai Yiran?
"Hey~ Whatâs going on here?"
From behind came Lunaâs sweet voice. Bai Yiran turned, seeing Luna with an arrogant expression, and beside her, Leng Lieweiâs face still devoid of any smile.
Seeing Luna, previously resigned Mrs. Xu suddenly looked as if she had seen hope, bright eyes directed at Luna, and when looking at Bai Yiran, she no longer seemed subdued, as if having found a backing, she raised her head confidently.
"Mrs. Leng~ Why did you come so late~" Mrs. Xu approached Luna with a face full of grievance, showing the crowd her unusual relationship with Luna.
Bai Yiran raised an eyebrow, thinking this was going to be quite a show now, with all sorts of people gathered.
Luna glanced at Mrs. Xu, yet didnât show much warmth. After all, Luna wouldnât lower herself that way.
"Isnât today Leng Yanxiâs full month celebration? What are you all gathered here for? Whereâs that child?" Lunaâs tone was casual, evidently signaling she didnât give Xiao Xi and Bai Yiran much attention.
Listening to Lunaâs words, grandma and uncle got very angry, faces turned dark immediately. They knew Bai Yiran was not favored among the Leng family elders, but they hadnât expected theyâd disregard even basic courtesy, publicly embarrassing Bai Yiran!
Mrs. Xu glared at Xia Lian, then said, "Right? We all came here for the Leng Familyâs daughterâs full month celebration today. This outfit of mine was specially tailored for this banquet. But it was deliberately soaked by the Presidentâs wifeâs aunt..."
Listening to Mrs. Xuâs complaint, Leng Lieweiâs face soured. He never cared for Bai Yiran, let alone those poor relatives of hers.
Although he didnât like Leng Yanxi, this was still an event held by the Leng family. Bai Yiranâs family having no manners and doing such disgraceful things?
Sure enough, theyâre just not presentable!
Luna observed Leng Lieweiâs reaction, wrinkling her delicate brows, "Yiran, you know todayâs occasion better than anyone. Why didnât you instruct your family beforehand to behave?"
