819: Chapter 785: Unreliable Mother (1) 819: Chapter 785: Unreliable Mother (1) Situ Xin pondered in her heart, just what had Xiao Muli’s mother, her own mother-in-law Liu Yun, said about her outside that could infuriate her family so much?
Situ Xin knew that her family mbers were not so fragile-hearted to care about what others said to this extent.
Situ Xin turned to glance at Xiao Muli.
Her eyes asked him, “What exactly did your mother say about ?”
Xiao Muli shook his head, indicating that he too was clueless.
He also could not figure out what had happened.
However, seeing his in-laws visibly seething with anger, Xiao Muli knew that whatever his mother Liu Yun had done this ti must have been excessive.
Had it not been for today being the day Situ Xin returned to her parental ho after the wedding, Xiao Muli would have been tempted to confront his mother directly to ask what exactly she had said.
Seeing Xiao Muli also with a look of complete ignorance about the situation, Situ Xin thought to herself, it made sense—these past few days, Xiao Muli had been at her side every step of the way.
If she had no idea what had happened, how would Xiao Muli possibly know.
Xiao Muli, seeing that Old Master Situ and the others were not lightly angered, didn’t dare to speak rashly.
He knew that the mont he opened his mouth, he would beco the target for everyone’s scolding.
Situ Xin also knew that now was the ti for her to stand up.
To break this awkward impasse.
“Ah, Grandpa, Maternal Grandfather, everyone, please calm down.
Gossip is like a bodily chapter; just let them talk.
It’s not like we will lose a piece of flesh because of their words.
Besides, today is the day of my hocoming.
If we let such a trivial matter spoil everyone’s mood, that would really be too much of a loss.”
Old Madam Loo, hearing what her granddaughter said, also agreed.
“Baby is right, today is indeed Baby’s hocoming day.
If we really let this ruin the atmosphere and make it so tense, it would not be worth it.
We can deal with this matter after today.”
Everyone thought about it and realized it was true.
Those rumors and gossip could be dealt with at any ti, so why did they have to discuss this today, on the day their cherished Baby returned?
It would spoil everyone’s mood.
With that thought, the anger in their faces subsided, and the few n who, just monts ago, had looked at Xiao Muli with such a glare, as if their eyes weren’t eyes and their noses weren’t noses, and who seed ready to chase Xiao Muli out of the house, now relented.
However, they grabbed Xiao Muli to “bond” and went off to drink.
Situ Xin’s hocoming day thus passed in a lively, joyful atmosphere.
In the evening, after Xiao Muli and Situ Xin bid farewell to Situ Xin’s family, the young couple walked hand in hand towards the Xiao Family ho.
During this journey, Situ Xin and Xiao Muli chatted and laughed together, but both tactfully did not ntion the incident from earlier that morning when they first entered the Situ Family ho and what Old Master Situ and the others had said.
Situ Xin felt that since the matter involved Xiao Muli’s mother, even though Xiao Muli did not have a good relationship with his mother, she was still his mother.
At this ti, it would not be appropriate for her to discuss with Xiao Muli the matter of his mother badmouthing her behind her back.
Xiao Muli, too, did not know how to bring up this matter with Situ Xin.
Although he had yet to confirm it, judging by his understanding of his mother, it was very likely she would do such an unreliable thing.
Xiao Muli planned that after confirming the facts, he would explain the situation to Situ Xin.
In this way, the couple, each with their own thoughts, went ho together.
Moreover, they both had a good night’s sleep that evening, completely undisturbed by the incident.
The next day, Situ Xin received all the information she wanted from Xia Yujie.
Looking at the docunts she had just received, a mocking expression appeared on Situ Xin’s face.
She hadn’t expected her mother-in-law to give her such a “gift” the day after her wedding.
Situ Xin thought to herself, “How much must she despise , her daughter-in-law, to do such a thing?”
Although Situ Xin felt uncomfortable about her mother-in-law slandering her so publicly, this ti she decided not to take any action.
Because she knew that there were people who wouldn’t allow her to be wronged, and also, she believed that sotis, inaction could lead to better outcos.
As Situ Xin received the news, Xiao Muli in his study, faced with the investigation report handed to him by his assistant, was furiously enraged.
He threw the investigation report onto the table, laughing in anger, “Haha, great.
I really do have a wonderful mother, who sent such a ‘gift’ the day after my wedding.
As her son, shouldn’t I return a gift to her?”
This ti, Xiao Muli was genuinely furious.
It was only upon seeing the investigation report that he understood why Old Master Situ and the others were so outraged, enough to lose control and lash out on such an important day of their hocoming.
It turned out that the grand wedding of Situ Xin and Xiao Muli the other day had completely provoked Liu Yun.
She had never liked Situ Xin, who had caused the Liu Family’s bankruptcy, and had already held a grudge against Situ Xin and Xiao Muli for not giving her the primary place of honor on their engagent day, which left her embarrassed.
Moreover, seeing the grandeur of Situ Xin and Xiao Muli’s wedding ceremony made her recall her own wedding into the Xiao Family, which was deliberately low-key under the insistence of Old Master Xiao and Old Madam Xiao.
This stark contrast escalated her dissatisfaction to a boiling point, and jealousy clouded her judgnt in an instant.
The day after the wedding banquet, Liu Yun left the Xiao Family ho and coincidentally ran into a lady friend who used to have a good relationship with her in the courtyard.
The lady friend approached with a smile to greet her, “Ah Yun, I haven’t seen you in a long ti.
You ca back for your son’s wedding, right?”
Thinking of yesterday’s wedding, Liu Yun’s smile beca sowhat unnatural.
With a forced smile, she said, “Yes.”
“Oh my, I attended your son’s wedding yesterday, it really was grand.
And all those big shots from up top attended too.
It was truly enviable,” the woman had just finished saying.
