Chapter 18: Self-abandonment

Passing through the dimly lit entryway, medieval classical music and high-heeled leather shoes muffled against Persian carpets make their way around the hall, where the maids bow respectfully and open the doors of the dining room.

The Swarovski crystal lamp emitted a dazzling and charming light, the silverware on the long table was shining, and everyone was seated, and the white tablecloth was spread on the long table, without a single wrinkle.

Old Man Fu and Mrs. Fu sat separately at both ends of the long table, and the others sat on both sides, and their status was only a family banquet.

Presented with a delicate delicacies, the '82 Lafite wine pours into the goblet with a sweet and fruity aroma.

"I'm glad you can take the time to come back for the family dinner." Old Man Fu said, raised his glass to toast to everyone, he took a sip, and then lowered his head to taste the food.

Following his movements, everyone also picked up knives and forks.

It is said to be a family feast, but in fact it is just an illusion.

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Tang Luoran pretended to be calm, except for occasionally raising his eyes, he never spoke, so as not to accidentally attract criticism again.

But she inexplicably became the center of the conversation at the family banquet, and she was the target of everyone.

The sound of knives and forks rubbing against the dinner plate suddenly sounded in the air, and the sharp sound made people frown, and following the prestige, they saw the dignified Mrs. Fu showing a bored look, and her gaze was erratic.

In the end, it fell on Tang Luoran, and she pursed her lips, "It's really unlucky to eat this meal." ”

"What's wrong with the good guys?" Old Man Fu raised his head, even though his hair was slightly gray, his majesty was still the same as it was back then.

Tang Luoran subconsciously lowered her head, a bad premonition came to her heart, she clenched her knife and fork, and there were faint bruises on the back of her thin hand.

As she thought, Fu Mu pointed the finger at her, "Don't you feel angry?" It's been five years, Tang Luoran, you still have nothing to do, as the eldest daughter-in-law, you have no children under your knees, no wonder people outside don't recognize you. ”

Silent, Tang Luoran was speechless.

Grasping the knife and fork, her nails sank into the flesh, her fingers were slightly white, she suppressed the anger and unwillingness surging in her heart, and still did not make a statement.

Everyone here embarrassed her, and she couldn't resist.

"That's it, my friend is two years younger than my sister-in-law, and I have three children, and then I look at my sister-in-law, my stomach is still flat, and I don't know how to make people laugh at the Fu family, and I don't even have children who can pass on the ancestry." Fu Ziya echoed Fu's mother's words in front of her, her eyes fluttering.

As Fu Zichen's younger sister, she sat opposite Tang Luoran as a matter of course, and the ridicule of her, as long as Tang Luoran raised her eyes, she could be a hundred.

But she never moved.

Swallowing his saliva, Tang Luoran gritted his teeth.

looked forward to what Fu Zichen beside him could say, but he never said a word, and he didn't even look at her.

How hopeful she is, how disappointed she is now.

That's it, let them say it, anyway, if they are said two words, there will be no less meat.

Such self-abandonment made Fu Ziya even more rampant, she did not shy away from mentioning Yin Zi, and her tone was full of admiration, "Speaking of it, it's better to say that it's better to be Sister Yin Zi, she is beautiful and educated, she is healthy and can give birth, unlike her sister-in-law, there is nothing that can compare to her, if you want to blame the sister-in-law for being too cheap-"

"Okay, Ziya, you can eat obediently." Old Man Fu couldn't listen to it, so he simply stopped it.

This kind of talk is uncomfortable for others to hear, let alone the person concerned, Tang Luoran.

Standing up suddenly, Tang Luoran put down the knife and fork, and the servant standing on the side hurriedly came up to pull out the chair for her, she stiffened her face and nodded politely, "I'm a little uncomfortable, go to the bathroom to wash my face first." ”

"Hmm." Fu Zichen only responded to her at this time, but he only answered simply.

She glanced at him, her gaze indifferent, and then turned away.

And Fu Ziya still chased after her, and she caught up.
