Chapter Seventy-Six:-for-tat
As the afternoon approached to get off work, Fang Zhiyu didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief when she received a text message from Old Man Xiao asking him to go back to his old house for dinner.
"I still want to go home and rest. Fang Zhiyu muttered.
This meal is destined to be not so simple.
Fortunately, there were still her spare clothes in the lounge of the office, and after getting off work, Fang Zhiyu directly changed into her professional clothes, dressed neatly and drove to the old house.
The courtyard of the old mansion is very large, and when Fang Zhiyu drove over, Old Man Xiao was sitting in the yard, and he got up when he saw her figure.
"Grandpa. Fang Zhiyu called obediently.
"Aren't you particularly busy during this time?" the old man smiled softly and beckoned her to the living room.
The two had just sat down on the sofa when two women's voices came from one side.
"Dad, why don't you say anything when you invite others to your house?" Shi Ruqin's words were full of alienation.
"Auntie, Zhiyu is not someone else's. Grandpa, I just went to the kitchen to wash some fruit, this grape is particularly delicious. Wen Jingxuan put the fruit plate on the coffee table and didn't forget to say hello to Fang Zhiyu.
Fang Zhiyu did not respond, and the scene was suddenly embarrassing.
The appearance of these two people here was completely unexpected by her.
"I don't shout when I see people, and I think I'm dumb if I don't know. Shi Ruqin took Wen Jingxuan and sat on the sofa affectionately.
"Auntie. Wen Jingxuan was disgusted, and turned her head to look at Fang Zhiyu, "Zhiyu, I read yesterday's news, fortunately, you finally have a way." I saw you so haggard the other day, and I thought you were ...... I helped you find evidence behind my back, but unfortunately it didn't come in handy. ”
Wen Jingxuan's scene was particularly nice to say, and it was comfortable to listen to, and she continued: "How did you find out so many things overnight? I really want to learn this from you, just like magic." ”
Overnight, this word appeared in her words extremely harshly, and Shi Ruqin couldn't help but glance at Fang Zhiyu twice, her eyes disgusted.
The latter indifferently picked up the teacup, "Don't dare to be, if it weren't for Junchen's help, I wouldn't be able to do this." If Miss Wen really wants to learn, I can't give me some advice. ”
Saying this, Wen Jingxuan's status was immediately lowered by two levels.
The woman bit her lower lip, and the words that were originally used to satirize Fang Zhiyu's methods were misinterpreted, and Fang Zhiyu moved them to Xiao Junchen instead, and her face was ugly for a moment.
She quickly sorted out her emotions, and looked at Shi Ruqin with red eyes.
The delicate appearance made Shi Ruqin feel distressed for a while, and her tone was also worse, "Xiaofang, you have to pay more attention in the future." Just leave it to the people in your company to show up, don't tire you. Our Xiao family has been in the news for so many years, and we really haven't seen any daughter-in-law on the news. If you don't talk about it, it's easy for others to see jokes. ”
The atmosphere in the living room was weird, and Fang Zhiyu obviously heard the target in Shi Ruqin's words, and her eyes darkened.
Before she could retort anything, there was a muffled sound of footsteps at the door.
Xiao Junchen came in with a cold face, "Who dares to look at the jokes of the Xiao family? My wife, do whatever you want, don't put those old thoughts on Zhiyu." ”
He walked straight to Fang Zhiyu and sat down, naturally took her hand, and stared at Shi Ruqin and Wen Jingxuan with a piercing gaze.
There was a chill on the backs of the two of them, and Shi Ruqin seemed to can't believe what Xiao Junchen said, and her eyes widened slightly.
"What do you call old thoughts? Junchen, you were born in October when I was pregnant, why do you still help others speak?"
Seeing that Xiao Junchen's body was getting colder, as if he was about to get up and take Fang Zhiyu away in the next second, Old Man Xiao interrupted them in time.
"It's all a family, what are you fighting here?" the old man knocked the floor heavily with his cane, and the wrinkles on his face deepened, "Jing Xuan, I know that you have a good relationship with Ruqin, and I may have to trouble you to stop her more in the future." She has a soft temperament, and she can blow the wind in her ear by any person, and she doesn't know when she can change it. ”
Wen Jingxuan came into contact with the old man's sharp eyes, and the smile on her face froze, "I will......"
"Finally, the granddaughter-in-law and grandson are here, and the family is reunited, don't always be angry with me, an old man. Ruqin, you too, what can't be said between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, let an outsider see the joke. ”
The old man complained like a sentence, picked Wen Jingxuan clean, and his identity became embarrassing.
Shi Ruqin was dissatisfied with his statement, and her lips squirmed a few times, but she didn't refute it after all.
She glanced at Xiao Junchen, who was sitting opposite, and found that he had put his hand behind Fang Zhiyu at some point, and she looked like two people hugging each other at first glance.
His expression suddenly became a little ugly.
"There's something going on in the group, you're late, are they bullying you?" Xiao Junchen lowered his voice and played with Fang Zhiyu's soft little hands.
"I look like someone who is so easy to be bullied?" If Xiao Junchen hadn't come back in time, maybe she would have scolded Shi Ruqin at this moment.
I have long heard others say that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is difficult, and she is even more like an enemy, and she is still an enemy who joins forces with her love rival.
Fang Zhiyu found that Wen Jingxuan was like a tool man, but something used to ignite fire.
"Thank you, Mrs. Xiao, for your mercy. ”
"You're welcome, menopause can be understood, and so does my grandfather. ”
Replaced by Wen Jingxuan, Fang Zhiyu could tear her to pieces.
Old Man Xiao coughed suddenly, and several people looked at him in response.
Xiao Junchen, who received the warning, reluctantly let go of Fang Zhiyu's hand and narrowed the distance between him and her a little, but his eyes were still glued to her.
"Is Grandpa unwell?" Wen Jingxuan asked before Fang Zhiyu.
Even if the old man is on Fang Zhiyu's side, there is no corner in this world that cannot be pryed.
A dark color flashed under her eyes, and she made it to the fullest if she was well-behaved and sensible.
"It's fine. Butler, is it time to eat? Zhiyu should be hungry, and she is still here to spend time with us after a busy day. ”
"To tell you the truth, I'm really hungry, but grandpa understands my mind. ”
Fang Zhiyu's cheerfulness made the old man laugh, and the hearty laughter resounded in the living room, so that Shi Ruqin couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Old Man Xiao raised his hand, Fang Zhiyu's eyebrows moved, and he went up to help him to the restaurant.
At the dinner table, Fang Zhiyu sat against the old man, with Xiao Junchen beside her, but Wen Jingxuan, who was smiling opposite, made her have no appetite.
"Jing Xuan, you eat a little more, look at your thinness. When I was a child, I was about the same age as Junchen, so why didn't I grow taller as soon as I grew up. ”
"Looking at the photos, I was a little taller than Junchen when I was a child. ”
Shi Ruqin talked to Wen Jingxuan about Xiao Junchen when she was a child, and gave her vegetables affectionately, but Fang Zhiyu on the opposite side was directly ignored by her.
Her attitude towards the two is a world of difference that can be seen with the naked eye, Fang Zhiyu simply lowered her head to eat, but the irritability in her heart could not be erased.
