He looked around the house for a spot on the sofas but found that in such a big house with so many sofas, there wasnāt a single place for him to belong.
He was forced to listen to Xue Huiyiās cunning schemes and his wifeās seemingly kind inquiries.
Xue Huiyi nervously said, "Auntie, Iām sorry. I know itās inappropriate to say this after bringing up the termination of the engagement, but for my brother and Ji Heng, please advise them. Su Xiaocai is indeed talented, but sheās too attention-grabbing. Her father is just a Planet Master who grows vegetables; their lifestyle is too different. Itās not suitable for them to be together, and isnāt my brother in poor health? If the two brothers have a conflict, it would be too late to stop it."
"So, what youāre saying is that Su Xiaocai is not only seducing Ji Heng, causing a rift with you, but sheās now also seducing my eldest son and playing both my sons? Is that right?"
Xue Huiyi secretly observed Mrs. Xueās expression, and seeing her face turn red with anger thoroughly delighted her.
She believed that a mother who loves to control her son would definitely not look favorably on someone as scheming as Su Xiaocai.
Jiās mother continued, "Are you sure that both my sons like that girl?"
Xue Huiyi shook her head, "Iām not sure. After all, I have no evidence. Su Xiaocai is very cautious; she hasnāt been caught in any intimate photos with them in public."
Jiās mother slammed the table hard, stood up, and pointed at Xue Huiyiās nose, saying, "So without any evidence, you accuse my sons of being fickle, thinking theyāre stupid enough to be toyed with by a girl?"
Xue Huiyi was utterly shocked. What did she mean? What did Jiās mother mean?
Wasnāt she supposed to join her in scolding Su Xiaocai for her bad intentions and audacity?
Jiās motherās thought process was peculiar and her understanding far exceeded that of ordinary people.
An overly protective mother can make a child suffocate in life, but a protective mother would never think her children are in any way lacking.
What enraged Jiās mother was Huiyiās implicit criticism of her two sons being foolish, manipulated by others, while Su Xiaocai was secondary in her mind.
Like a rampaging dragon, she roared, "What are you, just a woman eager to become my sonās wife. Have I given you too much face on usual days? My eldest son is exceptionally smart and in good health. How dare you say heās unwell? My second son is kind and well-mannered. How could he cheat? The problem must be you."
"What problem could I have?" Xue Huiyi couldnāt believe her ears. Jiās mother, who had always liked her so much, was now lashing out at her.
She was the daughter of the Xue Family, not just anyone.
Reversed Heavenly Gang.
Had Jiās motherās mind gone haywire?
Xue Huiyi looked towards Father Ji, hoping he would stand up to stop his unreasonable wife.
Father Ji stayed as quiet as a chicken.
He had said it before; there was no place for him in this house unless he wanted to court a scolding.
Jiās mother didnāt care if you were a mouse or a viper; she would bite, "What problem donāt you know? Flirtatious, pretentious, narrow-minded, self-proclaimed genius girl, going around the world looking for supporters, proclaiming yourself to be great. If it werenāt for you being engaged to my son, as his mother, it wouldnāt be right to speak ill of the daughter-in-law. But I have long wanted to tell you off."
Jiās mother was incredibly combative and highly aggressive.
Huiyi brushed away Jiās motherās finger, stood up, and retreated a few steps, "Youāre unreasonable. I was your chosen daughter-in-law, but because Iām the one initiating the break-up, youāre embarrassed? Your two sons are just dummies, big dummies. One is sick and frail, doomed to a short life. The other is a blockhead, deserved to be played emotionally."
"I chose you? I chose your grandfather. If at a banquet you hadnāt suddenly danced with my son, then came to curry favor with me, would I fake a good relationship with you?" People need face, just like trees need bark. If a daughter-in-law pleases you everywhere, you surely wouldnāt mind.
In the instant she spat those words, Jiās mother lunged forward, wanting to tear Xue Huiyiās mouth apart.
Father Ji sprung up the moment Jiās mother was about to explode, controlling her from behind.
"You insolent thing, donāt I know how good my sons are? With your attitude, only an open-minded mother like me can tolerate you. If you want to call off the engagement, do it quickly. I donāt care. I used to think you were sincere to my son, but now, youāre just an ungrateful wretch, unable to appreciate whatās given to you no matter how much."
Jiās mother didnāt even pause to catch her breath, "You must have shifted your affections first, then came here hypocritically asking for a breakup. Let me tell you, if you think you can leave peacefully, think again..."
Xue Huiyi was dumbfounded. The furiously raging Jiās mother was a far cry from her usual graceful demeanor.
