47: Chapter 047 Never Had Such a Big Face
“Oh, Chen Xuan is back.”
Seeing Chen Xuan open the door, ng Junchen greeted him with a smile, but there was a provocative flavor to his smile.
Knowing that the other party coveted Han Jingting, how could Chen Xuan possibly show a friendly face?
He simply ignored him and headed back to his room.
Ding Lijuan’s face darkened as she scolded sharply, “A guest arrives and you can’t even greet them properly, are you blind or deaf!”
While she was warm and hospitable to ng Junchen, Ding Lijuan always seed to find fault with Chen Xuan.
“Let it be, Auntie, it’s just a trivial matter, no need to fuss over it,” ng Junchen posed magnanimously.
But Ding Lijuan grew even more incensed, “A trivial matter?
This ti he’s done a huge favor for Jingting, he’s a big benefactor to our family!
If this waste dares to disrespect you, it’s a grave matter!”
After that, Ding Lijuan directly commanded Chen Xuan, “Jun Chen is tired from the journey, why aren’t you hurrying to pour him a cup of tea!”
Usually commanding and imposing toward Chen Xuan, Ding Lijuan thought this ti would be no different as Chen Xuan had never dared to disobey her orders.
ng Junchen was also watching Chen Xuan with interest, waiting for him to serve tea and water, completely submitting.
However, what they didn’t expect was that Chen Xuan, who had always been submissive, would suddenly do the opposite.
“He’s worthy of
pouring tea for him?”
ng Junchen’s smile imdiately turned sour, and Ding Lijuan was beside herself with anger.
“Look at you, Chen Xuan, being disrespectful to Jun Chen, I’ll tear your face apart!”
As she spoke, Ding Lijuan raised her hand to strike at Chen Xuan’s face, but before it could reach him, Chen Xuan grabbed her wrist.
Chen Xuan looked at Ding Lijuan, his voice ice-cold, “I’ve already said it last ti at the old house, that was the last ti I allow you to hit !
You are Jingting’s mother, and I respect that, but it doesn’t an I’ll let you insult !”
Chen Xuan’s expression was stern and his words were resounding, even silencing Ding Lijuan.
She couldn’t believe that Chen Xuan, who had always been obedient to her, would dare to defy her!
“You…” Ding Lijuan was stunned for a long ti, finally just sitting on the floor and throwing a tantrum.
“You heartless thing, all these years we’ve provided for you, we even paid for your mother’s life!
Not only do you not repay our kindness, but you also dare to lay a hand on , you’re just a white-eyed wolf!”
“Everyone, co see!
The son-in-law who lives off his wife is rebelling and hit his mother-in-law!”
“Jingting, today you must divorce this bastard, or I won’t live!
Boo-hoo-hoo…”
Chen Xuan, upon seeing Ding Lijuan’s antics, simply felt speechless.
Han Jingting also sighed helplessly; she was already accustod to Ding Lijuan’s dramatics.
“Chen Xuan, it’s one thing for you to live off your wife, but now you’ve even angered Auntie like this.
I really don’t know how soone like you could possibly be worthy of Jingting!”
As he spoke, ng Junchen hurried over to help Ding Lijuan up, showing concern and care.
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, “Whether I’m worthy of Jingting or not is not for you to judge!
Also, doesn’t everyone know, or perhaps you don’t realize yourself, was it really you who helped Jingting?”
ng Junchen was taken aback.
Could this guy know so truth?
How could that be possible?
Convinced that Chen Xuan couldn’t possibly know anything, ng Junchen retorted defensively, “This…
doesn’t this go without saying?
If I didn’t help Jingting, could it possibly have been you!”
Chen Xuan wanted to say more, but Han Bowwen cut him off, impatiently saying, “Alright, enough arguing.
Chen Xuan, there’s nothing for you here, go back to your room!”
Chen Xuan glared at ng Junchen, then turned and left.
Back in his room, he could still hear Ding Lijuan’s scolding from outside, incessantly instigating Han Jingting to divorce him.
It took a long ti before Ding Lijuan finally quieted down.
Approaching noon, Han Jingting ca to the bedroom.
“We’re going out to eat later, you should co with us,” she said.
Without giving it a thought, Chen Xuan instantly replied, “You guys go ahead, I’d rather not join the excitent.”
Just the thought of dining with Ding Lijuan and ng Junchen killed Chen Xuan’s appetite.
Han Jingting sighed, lowering her voice, “I know you don’t want to go, but can you do it for , please?”
Chen Xuan looked up, Han Jingting’s bitterness and pleading catching his eye.
Chen Xuan suddenly realized that the most difficult position in the family was not his own but Han Jingting’s, caught in the middle!
Not only did she have to consider him, but she also had to take care of Ding Lijuan and the harmony of the household.
A wave of compassion swept over Chen Xuan, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
Seeing that Chen Xuan was also going to join, Ding Lijuan was utterly reluctant, but after being persuaded by Han Jingting, she had to let it go.
Half an hour later, they arrived at the Huai City Banquet.
Today’s dinner was actually to thank ng Junchen, so Ding Lijuan had chosen such an upscale place.
Passing through the lobby, the proprietress Cui Ruyun spotted Chen Xuan from a distance, but before she could greet him, he and the others had already entered a private room.
“Jun Chen, co, sit next to Jingting!” As soon as they entered the private room, Ding Lijuan began to arrange seating.
“Alright.”
ng Junchen unceremoniously sat down next to Han Jingting, relegating Chen Xuan to the farthest corner.
Viewed this way, it was actually Chen Xuan, the son-in-law, who seed more like an outsider.
ng Junchen looked at Chen Xuan triumphantly, with the posture of a victor.
Shortly after, all the dishes were served, and a waiter ca in holding a bottle of red wine.
With a keen eye, Han Bowwen recognized the wine, “Lafite Castle?
If I’m not mistaken, this vintage would cost at least fifty thousand, right?”
Han Jingting imdiately beca anxious, “Are you sure?
I don’t think we ordered any wine?”
The waiter explained with a smile, “Here’s the thing, Mr.
Chen heard that you were dining here today, so he especially sent over a bottle of wine!”
“Mr.
Chen?
We don’t have any Mr.
Chen here?”
Even though Ding Lijuan’s gaze swept over Chen Xuan, she instinctively ignored his presence.
Because Ding Lijuan simply couldn’t believe that Chen Xuan had such clout.
Then, with a clap of her hands, Ding Lijuan suddenly rembered sothing, “I got it, your boss must be talking about Mr.
Jun Chen, right?”
“Ah?
That…
it seems so…”
He had only caught the “Chen” part and wasn’t certain which “Chen” it was, but as long as it was ant for this room, that was enough.
ng Junchen paused and then slapped his forehead, “Now I rember, the last ti I ca here to dine with my dad, the boss probably rembered
from then, especially since my dad holds a high position at the Health Bureau.”
Ding Lijuan was ecstatic, “Jun Chen is really impressive!
Even the owner of Huai City Banquet wants to curry favor with you, sending a fifty-thousand-dollar wine for free, that’s so prestigious!”
Han Jingting, who had initially thought of Chen Xuan when she heard the na “Mr.
Chen,” dismissed the idea upon seeing Ding Lijuan and ng Junchen’s certainty.
After all, to be recognized by the owner of Huai City Banquet and gifted a fifty-thousand-dollar wine?
Chen Xuan would likely never have such a great face!
