Chapter 511: Chapter 511 Those deep dark eyes (2)_1 Chapter 511: Chapter 511 Those deep dark eyes (2)_1 “Of course, come here, Jiaojiao, sit on godma’s lap,” Zhao Li said, picking her up from the ground.

She had seen the commotion over there, there was no helping it, she adored her precious daughter too much, and her gaze unconsciously followed the child, so she just happened to witness it.

She was already somewhat displeased when Liu Nini started wailing.

Today was her birthday, a joyous occasion, and she couldn’t understand why the girl was crying, but considering she was just a child, she didn’t react until Lu Meili walked over and even glared at Ruan Jiaojiao. That’s when she prepared to stand up, but Shu Jiao beside her held her back.

On such a day, one shouldn’t get angry over trivial matters, and even Shu Jiao disliked it when others would call her daughter a “little country bumpkin” incessantly. If that little girl was saying it, it definitely was because she heard her mother repeating it so often that it just slipped out.

If today weren’t Zhao Li’s birthday, any other normal day, Shu Jiao wouldn’t have let it go. Her daughter was now the apple of her eye, and she wouldn’t tolerate anyone bullying her.

But today, she had to show Zhao Li this courtesy and not cause a scene.

However, it seemed they didn’t want to make a fuss, but others had different ideas.

Perhaps Lu Meili truly looked down on Ruan Jiaojiao and her family, and feeling superior as Lu Zhiwei’s cousin, she felt more important than anyone else in the room and didn’t bother to hide her disdain.

As Ruan Jiaojiao carried her bowl away, Lu Meili rolled her eyes and sneered, “Nini, stop crying, we won’t lower ourselves to the level of an uneducated, uncultured country girl, all right? Come, let’s go… Ah!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Lu Xian flipped the bowl in front of him towards them, splashing the soup. It startled Liu Nini, who was still crouching beside the table, into crying out loud.

But Lu Xian was even louder, regardless of the significance of the day; he had been tolerating it for years and this wasn’t going to be the exception. “Cousin, who are you calling uncultured and ill-bred, huh?

In truth, he wanted to dump the entire bowl on the mother and daughter’s faces, to make them stop calling his sister a “country girl” and “little bumpkin.”

His action caught the attention of the men who were drinking at another table.

Lu Zhiwei stood up, frowning as he looked over, and shouted, “Lu Xian, are you itching for a beating?” He thought Lu Xian was just being mischievous and was about to chastise him when Zhao Li from the other table stood up as well.

She had long been displeased with this cousin of her husband’s family.

Relying on the old ties with the Lu Family’s older generation, she had been interfering and throwing her weight around ever since Zhao Li had joined the family.

Zhao Li had always adored little girls, cherishing all the young daughters of her relatives except for Liu Nini because Nini had become unbearable due to her spoiling.

Although Lu Meili indulged her just like Ruan Jiaojiao was pampered, the difference in their characters was like heaven and earth.

She stood up, glanced at Lu Zhiwei, who immediately understood and sat back down.

Zhao Li stepped out from her seat, approached Lu Meili, and gave a cold laugh, imitating her, “Sister Meili, did I, Zhao Li, ever wrong you in any way? What’s the meaning of this scene you’re causing today, huh?”

“Zhao Li, what do you mean by that? Can’t you see it’s them bullying me and my daughter? Look at your son, throwing bowls and splashing soup, is that proper behavior? Does he have any respect for his elders? Is this how you teach your child?”
