Chapter 2037: Falling Out (8)

Hong Madam’s voice was sharp, and since the booth was a closed space, when she shouted, almost everyone subconsciously furrowed their brows, but everyone chose to remain silent, even Ruan Jun just kept his head down without making a sound.

In the entire booth, only the voice of the Ruanlin Family could be heard: "The meaning is simple, today you’ll properly explain to this old woman how my well-behaved treasure lacks manners. If it’s not made clear, none of us will leave this door."

"You... you... I am Hong Ping’s mother! You all..." Hong Madam was still in disbelief that the Ruan Family would treat her like this. Were they intending to completely tear off the facade?

Are they not afraid that she’ll take her daughter and leave? This marriage cannot be settled?

Afraid?

The Ruanlin Family really isn’t afraid.

To put it bluntly and shamelessly, with the Ruan Family’s current status, finding a granddaughter-in-law is really not a difficult task.

Hong Ping is a good choice, no doubt, but having in-laws like this might not necessarily be a good thing. The lessons from back when Liao Zhaoji were still fresh in memory.

The Ruanlin Family thought of this, turned to look at Ruan Jun, and asked, "Xiaojun, tell your father-in-law and mother-in-law, does this household have grandma’s authority?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Ping felt uneasy, looking slightly pale as she glanced at Ruan Jun beside her.

Though she had just joined the Ruan Family, she had been with Ruan Jun for more than a day or two, and certainly knew how influential the Ruanlin Family was in the Ruan household.

Ruan Jun had even told her before that the Ruanlin Family gave him a second chance at life, and if it wasn’t for the Ruanlin Family’s actions back then, he might have died in some coal pit and would not be who he is now.

Ruan Jun stood beside Hong Ping, the two stood very close, he felt his wife’s gaze, although he didn’t look at her, he held her hand under the round table, squeezed it tightly, as if offering silent comfort.

On the surface, he looked obediently at the Ruanlin Family and nodded: "Of course, she has it."

Upon hearing this, the Ruanlin Family nodded in satisfaction once more, then turned to Hong Madam: "You see, my grandson’s household, this old woman indeed rules, so if we don’t sort this matter out, it’s fine if this in-law relationship doesn’t happen."

"Fine if it doesn’t happen?!"

Hong Madam’s eyes widened. She thought she had leverage but didn’t expect the Ruanlin Family to come out and dismiss it so lightly, instantly getting choked with anger and losing her rationality.

While saying, "Fine, fine, very good!" she moved to Hong Ping’s side, grabbed her arm, and began pulling her out: "Come, let’s go home!!"

Hong Madam was aggressive, showing signs that this marriage was not going to proceed, pulling Hong Ping to leave, but Hong Ping stood there, she tugged twice, but failed to move her.

In front of so many people from the Ruan Family, her own daughter was not giving her face, Hong Madam was instantly enraged to the point of confusion.

What angered her even more was that even though she acted this way, the Ruan Family remained unmoved and just stood there without any intention to keep her back, making her simultaneously furious and feel humiliated.

She redirected all her anger towards her daughter, pointed at her nose, and cursed: "Hong Ping, do you have no shame? They’ve treated us like this, yet you won’t leave? I gave birth to you and raised you, was it just to have you disgrace yourself here?!"

"Leave! Immediately leave with me, if you don’t leave, just don’t recognize me as your mother!" She finally resorted to harsh words.
