The old lady didn't look at the woman married to her eldest son or Zhang Qiaoqiao but slowly said, "In our ti, a girl who had a child out of wedlock would be drowned in a pig cage."
Zhang Qiaoqiao was already not a very patient person.
Now, having been provoked ambiguously a few tis, she suddenly threw the fruit in her hand onto the table.
The sound startled both the woman married to the eldest son and Xie Liu sitting beside her.
The woman married to the eldest son quickly reached out to pull her, smiling and saying, "Ah, Qiaoqiao, it was just a slip of the hand, my apologies."
But Zhang Qiaoqiao shook off her hand and said with a sarcastic tone, "Stop giving that doubletalk. You all begged to keep this child, now why the doubletalk? What's this about having no status? It's who now doesn't want to marry!"
Xie Qingxiao and Yang Lan's faces looked even more unsightly.
This was supposed to be a family dinner they had prepared for Xie Xiao and Luoluo to get acquainted, and unexpectedly Zhang Qiaoqiao showed up.
Now, she even seed about to make a scene.
Even if the others were patient, they couldn't stand it any longer.
The eldest uncle stood up directly, glaring at the woman married to him, "You brought her here; take her back. What a disgrace!"
His voice was filled with anger.
The woman married to him looked displeased, "What do you an, Xie Qingfeng? Who is causing a disgrace? Isn't the child in Qiaoqiao's belly your grandson?"
Xie Liu sat silently on the side, his face stern.
Zhang Qiaoqiao's eyes sparkled with mockery.
Xie Xiao and the others were completely clueless about what was happening.
But then, he stood up, went over, and took Luo Yanran by the hand to stand, "It seems that today's al is not quite suitable anymore."
He smiled at his grandmother, ignoring the quarreling elder uncle and his wife, "Grandma, I'll bring Luoluo to visit you another ti."
The old lady's face turned sour, and she also stood up, sternly shouting, "Eldest brother! What are you doing?"
Then she reached out and took Luo Yanran by the hand, "Luoluo, don't mind this, today's situation..."
She hadn't finished speaking when Zhang Qiaoqiao interrupted, "It's different when the family has money, right? Everyone rushes to please them. Not like us, getting sneered at with a big belly. Right, Luo sister? Or rather, maybe I'll have to call you sister-in-law in the future."
After speaking, she smiled at Luo Yanran, a smile clearly ant to disgust.
These words directly changed the expression of everyone present.
Xie Liu also stood up, ready to say sothing.
But Luo Yanran just laughed, "I really couldn't accept being called sister-in-law, especially since you just indicated you're unwilling? Also, my family is indeed quite wealthy, but I think what Grandma really likes about is my personality, right?"
Her voice was soft and gentle, smiling at the old lady, "Isn't that right, Grandma? And respect from others can't be bought with money."
This was mocking the grandmother for not liking her solely because she didn't like her as a person.
That she wasn't respected had nothing to do with whether she had money or not.
Zhang Qiaoqiao's previous impression of Luo Yanran had always been of many years ago, a quiet girl who, although beautiful, seed rather boring.
She had always felt that Xie Xiao had been with Luo Yanran all these years largely because of her family background.
So she had just mocked her intentionally but got shut down imdiately.
Mainly, Zhang Qiaoqiao hadn't even had the chance to retort.
But Yang Lan couldn't take it any longer, "Big brother and sister-in-law, today was supposed to be a family dinner that Qingxiao and I hosted for Xie Xiao and Luoluo. Since it's a family dinner, it ans we consider you as family. This sudden intrusion by a stranger, and such rudeness, I think we'd better not bother with the al."
Xie Qingfeng's face turned ugly, sowhat embarrassed.
He and his wife had been coming here for decades, and they had always gotten along well.
She was usually quite sensible.
But ever since their son had t this girl nad Zhang Qiaoqiao, his wife seed possessed.
Things were fine before, and her son had finally broken up with the girl.
Although his wife was dissatisfied, she had accepted it.
Unfortunately, Xie Liu went for a pre-employnt physical and incidentally had a full body checkup.
It was discovered he had oligospermia.
The chances of conceiving a child were very low.
The child in Zhang Qiaoqiao's belly suddenly beca gold.
Although he was dissatisfied, he did not stop his wife from bringing the person back ho.
After all, it was his own child, and in her belly was his own grandson.
Although the old lady had made a scene at ho a few tis.
But Xie Qingfeng found it difficult to handle.
He also definitively did not discuss marrying Zhang Qiaoqiao.
And it seed that Xie Liu himself didn't care whether Zhang Qiaoqiao entered the family or not.
So even though Xie Qingfeng felt that this behavior was not acceptable, he still kept dragging it out.
He never ntioned the two getting married, only promising to give Zhang Qiaoqiao two hundred thousand after the child was born.
Zhang Qiaoqiao agreed.

But his wife thought the two hundred thousand wasn't as good as marrying the girl and having a wife for her son, and a mother for the child in the future.
Today, she even purposefully walked separately from them and brought the person over.
Now being spoken to by his sister-in-law like this, he truly could not hold his face anymore.
But the elder aunt then said, "Yang Lan, what do you an? Qiaoqiao is also our Xie Liu's wife."
At this ti, Xie Liu whispered, "Mom, please hold back your words!"
The old lady snorted, "Don't even think about it, not while I'm alive."
Xie Xiao noticed the great aunt's face beco even more awkward and embarrassed.
Actually, Xie Xiao's mood was also very bad, mostly because of feeling sorry for Luo Yanran.
It was supposed to be a eting with the parents, but it turned into a farce.
Even soone as good-natured as Xie Xiao found it hard not to be angry.
He reached out and held Luo Yanran's hand, gently squeezing it with an apologetic and soothing gesture.
Luo Yanran smiled at him, signaling that she was alright.
In the current situation, it was apparent that, except for that great aunt, maybe no one even knew Zhang Qiaoqiao was coming.
But Luo Yanran also didn't take it upon herself to say it was nothing and not to worry.
Xie Xiao and Yang Lan were speaking up for her, and she wasn't about to pretend to be generous at such a ti and make things difficult for Xie Xiao and others.
So the great aunt looked over at Luo Yanran a few tis and realized she hadn't spoken up voluntarily.
The aunt instantly felt even more dissatisfied with Xie Xiao's wife.
But that was alright; nobody cared about her feelings.
Even the grandmother glared at her and then held Luoluo, saying to Xie Qingxiao and Xie Xiao, "Younger brother, mom didn't manage well. This ti, you guys go back first, grandma will handle things here."
The last sentence was directed at Xie Xiao, and she smiled at Luoluo, "Luoluo, sorry you had to see this, but these brothers have been separated for a long ti. Coming to Xiao's generation, there's no pressure, don't worry. Grandma isn't that feudalistic, just live your own little life from now on."
Her eyes were gentle, "Next ti, grandma will make you sothing delicious, alright?"
Luo Yanran was sowhat surprised, the old lady was very perceptive.
