"What I want to know is, what exactly does your ’sincerity’ look like?" Old Madam Zhou looked at Li Xinwei in amusement. "Don’t tell me that just showing up like this, saying a few soft words, and shamelessly refusing to leave, counts as sincerity. If this is what you call sincerity, then I really have learned something new today."
"Of course not..." Li Xinwei smiled and raised her eyebrows. "But my show of sincerity is something I have to talk about with Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law alone. Aunt Zhou, it’s not that I don’t trust you, it’s just that this concerns the Lin Family’s private matters. I can’t just go and tell people who aren’t part of the Lin Family without the elders’ consent."
"If Aunt Zhou can’t know, then we’re not particularly interested either." Lin Baohe looked at Li Xinwei with an indifferent expression. "Second Sister-in-law, if you came here to drive a wedge between us and the Zhou family, then you’d better head back early."
"Baohe, that’s not what I mean..." Sighing, Li Xinwei looked at Zhao Yulan. "Sister-in-law, you’re a daughter-in-law too, you should be able to understand how I feel, right?"
Zhao Yulan very ungraciously replied, "I don’t."
Li Xinwei: "..." How come this couple’s personalities are so different from what she remembered?
"Second Aunt, stop taking everyone for fools. You want to come throw a tantrum, you come throw a tantrum; you want to come make nice, you come make nice. What you mean is, everyone has to treat you as the center and revolve around you, then that’s ’right’, is that it?" Chuxia raised her hand in a gesture of invitation. "Didn’t you hear what my grandma just said? You’re not welcome in this home. Please, see yourself out."
For someone like this, she really couldn’t be bothered to waste words. As for what the other party might say about her after leaving—heh, even if she acted all polite, would the other side really speak well of her? Unless you go along with her on every single thing, then you might possibly earn one good sentence from her. In that case, forget it. That kind of praise, she really doesn’t care for!
"How can you talk like that, child?" A flash of anger shot through Li Xinwei’s eyes, but she forced herself to calm down. "I really was forced by your Second Uncle to come over and apologize today.
To be honest, I’m still feeling terribly wronged inside. He’s my own son, yet he’s fallen out with me because of someone else, even threatening not to acknowledge me as his mother. You’re a mother yourself now; you can at least somewhat understand how I feel, can’t you?
Of course, I admit I was out of line to come looking for you to settle accounts. My grievance is actually only with my son, but I happened to be in a rage at the time and took it out on the wrong person.
For that, I sincerely apologize to you. But as for what my son did, I still can’t accept it even now. I gave birth to him, raised him, thought of him in every possible way, and he actually just threw me aside like that. What kind of filial son would do something like that?
Of course, I don’t blame any of you for this. This is my own issue. To put it bluntly, it’s because I spoiled him too much on a daily basis that he would dare act like this.
Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law, you both only came back to the Lin Family later, so you’re not too clear about some things at home. I admit, at the beginning your Second Brother and I really couldn’t accept your sudden appearance, so our attitude was a bit cold.
We’re not as good with people as Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law, so ever since you returned to the Lin Family, our relationship has been lukewarm at best. That’s just the kind of person I am: if I like someone, I like them; if I don’t, I don’t. Asking me to fake it is worse than killing me..."
Chuxia cut her off without mercy. "Second Aunt, aren’t you faking it right now?" In order to glorify herself she was spouting nonsense and smearing others—disgusting, much? Since the masks were already ripped off, Chuxia couldn’t even be bothered to pretend any more.
Back then, the whole thing between Lin Wenxiu and Shao Min only turned around because she persuaded and pushed for it. In front of her, Li Xinwei put on this act of being endlessly grateful, but then turned around and told outsiders that if their family hadn’t been recognized and taken back, the Shao Family would never have considered marrying into the Huang Family. So this is what a white‑eyed wolf looks like, right?
"Third Brother, Third Sister-in-law..." Li Xinwei ignored Chuxia and looked straight at Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan. "No matter what, there’s still a hierarchy between elders and juniors, right?"
Obviously, she was calling into question Chuxia’s attitude towards her.
Lin Baohe let out a cold snort. "Everything my girl said is exactly what Yulan and I wanted to say. You’ve chilled our hearts completely. Now, no matter how pretty your words sound, it’s useless."
