Chapter 785: Chapter 783 Can’t Be Impulsive_1
After finishing, she introduced Yuanyuan, “Yuanyuan, this is my dad, this is my mom, and these two are my younger sisters, Nianxia and Muxia.”
When his voice fell, Cheng Youyou quickly bent down and bowed to the four of them separately, “Hello, Auntie, hello, Uncle, and hello to the two younger sisters.”
“This is a little gift I brought for you all, I hope you will like it!” She spoke in a respectful tone while handing over the gift box she was holding.
Xia Ningxing quickly reached out to take it, smiling and saying, “You child, if you co just co, why bring a gift? What an expense.”
Her shining eyes discreetly took the girl’s asure.
When she first heard from her son who was traveling outside that he had found Youyou, she couldn’t believe it, but now it turned out to be true.
The girl had changed quite a bit since she was little; what used to be chubby baby-fat cheeks had turned into a beautiful lon-seed face, with a slightly pointed chin that wasn’t as exaggerated as one from plastic surgery, in short, a very pleasant pointedness.
Her features were delicate and gorgeous, her eyes round, black and white distinct, exuding an air of innocence unmarred by worldly experience, and her skin as smooth as porcelain, flawless.
The girl was truly beautiful.
Xia Ningxing was very pleased with this prospective daughter-in-law, her smile growing even warr.
As for Lu Tingli, although he was expressionless, his lack of frowning was a sign that he too was quite fond of this prospective daughter-in-law.
“Yeah, what’s with buying gifts, sister-in-law, you’re too polite,” Nianxia and Muxia quickly added.
“It’s no expense, really, it should be done,” Cheng Youyou knew her future mother-in-law and two younger sisters-in-law were easy-going, which eased so of her nervousness. She smiled sincerely.
“Good child,” Xia Ningxing gently patted her hand, then handed her a box, “This is a welco gift for you.”
As she said this, she took a shining gemstone necklace out of the box, prepared to personally put it around her slender swan-like neck.
This clearly showed Xia Ningxing’s fondness for her.
“No, no, Auntie, this gift is far too precious. If you gave sothing practical, I could accept it, but I really can’t accept this,” Cheng Youyou hastily stepped back, shaking her head in refusal.
She had seen this necklace in a fashion magazine before; it was auctioned off for a sky-high price of tens of millions.
It was truly too valuable.
“Why are you so earnest, child?” Xia Ningxing was amused by her words, and imdiately gave her son a look.
Lu Yichuan, catching the hint, pushed Cheng Youyou forward, not allowing her to refuse any more, “This necklace was specially bought by my mom to give to her future daughter-in-law. By refusing it like this, are you saying you don’t want to be my mother’s daughter-in-law?”
“Of course not!” Cheng Youyou had no idea he was setting a trap for her and imdiately jumped right in.
Only after speaking did she realize she had been tricked.
But it was too late; the necklace was already around her neck.
With no choice but to accept it, she awkwardly nodded her thanks to Xia Ningxing, “Thank you, Auntie.”
“From now on, we’re family; no need to be so formal,” Xia Ningxing said with a smile.
Nianxia and Muxia also chid in, “Yeah, there’s no need to be so formal!”
“It’s almost noon; Youyou must be hungry by now. I’ll have the nanny prepare the al,” Xia Ningxing said, while taking the girl’s hand and walking towards the dining area.
Cheng Feifei, who had been left out for a long ti, couldn’t help but frown, holding back the urge to throw sothing.
Damn the Xia family!
Are they all blind?
Didn’t they see her, such a big living person, standing right here?
And that bitch Cheng Youyou, Mr. Lu didn’t introduce her, fine, but shouldn’t she take the initiative to introduce her own sister?
Cheng Feifei was so infuriated she felt her teeth itch, and she tried to catch Cheng Youyou’s attention several tis, but the latter acted as if she saw nothing.
Fuming, Cheng Feifei had no choice but to bite the bullet, thicken her face, and introduce herself, “Uncle, Aunt, sisters, hello, I…”
“A servant doesn’t need to be introduced.” Before she could finish, Xia Ningxing cut her off.
Cheng Feifei: “…”
You’re the servant!
Your fucking entire family is made up of servants!
Cheng Feifei was about to explode, never having imagined she’d be mistaken for a servant.
What servant could look as beautiful as she did, dressed so luxuriously?
Her eyes must be blind!
If it weren’t for the last shred of rationality, Cheng Feifei would probably have lunged at Xia Ningxing and strangled her by now.
Seeing Xia Ningxing refer to Cheng Feifei as the servant, those present couldn’t help but cover their lips and snicker.
Everyone knew well that Cheng Feifei’s attire was certainly not that of a maid, and Xia Ningxing couldn’t possibly be unaware, which made it obvious that she was intentionally humiliating her.
Xia Ningxing slightly raised her eyebrows, appearing as if she hadn’t realized her blunder.
After all, her son Lu Yichuan had sent a text on the way, telling Xia Ningxing to deal with this clueless creature later.
Feeling bored, she naturally wanted to entertain herself at Cheng Feifei’s expense.
Cheng Feifei, holding back, almost clutched her palm hard enough to bleed, lifted her face without a trace of anger, only a pitiful, tearful look: “Aunt, I, I’m not so servant, I’m Cheng Feifei, sister to my sister.”
“Ah, it turns out that way, I’m so sorry.” Xia Ningxing apologized with slight surprise as if she had just realized the mistake.
Such a perfunctory apology, obviously insincere.
Cheng Feifei was clearly aware that the other party was mocking her, she clenched her teeth and had no choice but to swallow her grievances, graciously shaking her head: “It’s no trouble, Aunt, let serve you during the al.”
Saying this, she was about to walk toward the dining table.
Xia Ningxing lifted her incisive gaze, huffed, “I am not old and weak, why would I need you to serve, and besides, look, the dining table is full, you can go eat in the side hall.”
The side halls in wealthy mansions are ant for housekeepers and other staff to dine in.
For her, a young lady of wealth, to go eat there would be an utter humiliation!
Cheng Feifei’s complexion changed in an instant, trembling with embarrassnt, “Aunt, that’s not necessary, I’ll just squeeze in.”
“You may be willing to squeeze in, but we’re not,” Xia Ningxing frowned, her expression one of feigned difficulty: “With your understanding nature, I presu you wouldn’t insist on making us uncomfortable, right?”
Cheng Feifei nearly burst into tears.
For the first ti, she felt a soft yet overpowering force she couldn’t resist.
She wanted to scream abuses, wanted to strangle Xia Ningxing to death, but her rationality still kept her in check.
Must not act impulsively, absolutely not.
Once she married Lu Yichuan, she’d have plenty of chances to deal with this old bitch.
After steeling herself, Cheng Feifei reluctantly nodded, “Right, right, how could I make the aunts uncomfortable, I’ll just go eat in the side hall, I wish you a pleasant al.”
