Sensing his wife's discomfort, Father Pan's third brother interjected, "Jiajia, even if your aunt wants to attend, our son is still young and needs soone to take care of him. At most, we can let our daughter go on our behalf."
His daughter turned to him in horror the mont she heard her father's words while exclaiming, "Father, I don't want to! How can you expect to live in the village? Don't you know how dirty and uneducated the villagers were?"
At her outburst, Li Chenmo glanced at her coldly and let out a sarcastic chuckle.
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu imdiately recognized her husband's anger. While he could tolerate others looking down on him, he never gave any faces to those who were disrespecting his family.
As expected, his sharp retort ca swiftly, catching everyone off guard, "Even if you wanted to visit our village, we also won't welco soone like you. After all, we value people with a good personality and behaviors, not spoiled, rude brats."
His words instantly froze the atmosphere to the lowest. Although the Li family felt sorry for the Pan family's embarrassnt, they didn't say anything. Showing their agreent with Li Chenmo's statent.
The cousin's words not only belittled the villagers but also looked down upon them. The Li family has been farming for generations and lives in the village. By saying that the villagers are dirty and uneducated, isn't it equal to insulting them in person? It would be strange if they weren't offended!
The cousin was shocked by Li Chenmo's harsh words and stared at him with teary eyes while biting her lip in embarrassnt.
She had secretly admired him the mont she saw him this morning, thinking he was the perfect man of her dreams. But now, his scornful words crushed her feelings, leaving her aggrieved.
Noticing her pitiful gaze, as though she were a bullied wife, Lu Jueyu's eyes turned cold.
She placed her teacup down firmly and said, "Uncle Pan, Aunt Pan, since your niece looked down on us as villagers, then we will take our leave now. We will co to visit again another ti."
Mother Pan quickly smiled and said, "Jueyu, you have had a busy day, you should go back and have a rest. We can talk more another ti."
anwhile, Pan Chimu, oblivious to the tension, fetched his car keys and said, "Uncle Li, let drive you back."
"Thank you, Nephew," Father Li nodded.
Before leaving, Li Lingyun leaned closer to his fiancee and whispered, "Jiajia, I will visit you tomorrow. Rest early tonight."
When he saw that no one paid them any attention, he kissed his girl's earlobe and let out a chuckle.
Pan ijia blushed from his teasing and replied, "Brother Yun, you should rest early too."
As the Li family headed toward the door, the third uncle turned to his daughter, scolding her sharply, "What's wrong with you? Even if you didn't want to go, you shouldn't have said those things! Look at the trouble you have caused!"
Lowering her head, she muttered, "Father, I didn't an it..."
Her mother sighed when she heard her daughter's crying voice and tried to diate, "Alright, let's talk at ho. Now that we have offended the Li family, we will have to apologize tomorrow."
"Why should we apologize?" the daughter retorted indignantly. "I wasn't wrong. The village isn't as good as the city and the villagers are indeed dirty and uneducated."
The third aunt poked her daughter's forehead in exasperation and scolded her, "You are so short-sighted! That tea and cream made by Lu Jueyu could help us establish important connections. Do you understand now why we must apologize?"
Despite her frustration, the daughter didn't dare defy her parents, knowing her future prospects could suffer if she angered them.
anwhile, as the Li family departed, Father Li turned to his in-laws and said warmly, "In-laws, please stay. There is no need to send us off. Everyone must be tired. Let's chat another day."
Father Pan nodded and said apologetically, "In-law, I apologize to you and your family for what my niece said just now."
Father Li smiled and said generously, "It's normal for a child to talk without thinking. Next ti, let's have another round of chess."
"Of course," Father Pan replied with a smile.
At the sa ti, Lu Jueyu held Pan ijia's hands, handed her a small bag, and said, "Jiajia, these are face masks and night cream I made before. I brought them for you from the village. Before you go to sleep, you can apply the face mask and night cream. I have included the instructions inside."
Hearing her friend's words, Pan ijia opened the bag and saw several bottles and jars inside. She had seen her friend use the face masks before in the village, so she didn't ask further and simply nodded, "Thank you, Jueyu."
Standing nearby, Zhao Xirui caught a glimpse of the bag, noticing the colorful bottles inside. Feeling intrigued, she suspected these items must be sothing special and decided to visit again tomorrow.
Noticing her wife's gaze fixed on the bag, Xiao Feng nudged her and whispered, "Wife, stop staring."
Realizing her inappropriate behavior, Zhao Xirui smiled sheepishly at her husband and quickly averted her gaze.
Seeing that his wife was still behaving as she was when she was young, Xiao Feng shook his head helplessly. In front of others, she may be a mature and generous lady. But in front of him, she will always be a lively young girl.
Five minutes later, Pan Chimu arrived with his military jeep and said, "Uncle Li, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, I am ready to go."
Hearing this, the Li family climbed into the military jeep one after another. The jeep was spacious but had hard seats, which would make the ride uncomfortable on bumpy roads.
This was Lu Jueyu's first ti riding a military jeep, so she found the experience very novel and looked at the jeep with interest.
