Chapter 771 - 764: Incorrigible Self-Destructive Nature (Part 3)
At this moment, Qi Hui’s phone rang, and the caller ID showed it was Leng Liewei.
"Hello?" She answered the phone, turning to look for Leng Liewei’s figure, only to see him standing in the distance, glaring at her with a sinister look. Her heart skipped a beat, but she forced herself to remain calm and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Get back here!" Leng Liewei said coldly, then hung up the phone.
Qi Hui took a deep breath, her heart filled with resentment, because the words from Leng Liewei extinguished the last bit of hope she had inside her. From today on, everything she does will be for herself and her child!
"Hmph!" Qi Hui snorted coldly, ready to leave. As she passed by Bai Yiran and Luna, she said in a voice only they could hear, "We’ll see about that!"
Seeing Qi Hui leave, Mrs. Liu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Luna ended things before they escalated out of control. Otherwise, today’s gathering would have turned into a farce. Also, it was thanks to Luna’s presence that doubts about whether Bai Yiran had been taken advantage of after her kidnapping were dispelled.
However, even though the incident was over, Mrs. Liu’s face remained cold.
Her coldness wasn’t directed at anyone else but her daughter-in-law, Xiao Jin.
The whole mess today started because of Xiao Jin’s lack of judgment. Mrs. Liu began to regret why she hadn’t chosen a daughter-in-law from a family of equal standing, instead of marrying into the family a petty, brainless girl?
"You should go home first." Mrs. Liu said indifferently to Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin was taken aback, not expecting her mother-in-law to ask her to leave, "Mom, I don’t want to go, I want to stay with you."
Mrs. Liu didn’t even bother to look at Xiao Jin. Today, Xiao Jin had managed to offend Bai Yiran and the other ladies.
"Just go. I don’t need you here with me."
Seeing her mother-in-law’s firm stance, Xiao Jin felt deeply wronged and looked to her husband for support, only to see him chatting and laughing with a flamboyant woman.
Xiao Jin’s bottled-up grievances suddenly erupted. She pointed at the woman talking to her husband and shouted emotionally, "I’m not leaving! I’m the only daughter-in-law of the Liu Family! I’m the main character today. If anyone is leaving, it should be that seductive bitch!"
Xiao Jin’s voice was piercing, and the woman’s face instantly turned sour.
"Are you nuts?" Xiao Jin’s husband stormed over angrily. "Open your eyes and look carefully. That’s my cousin who just returned from abroad. She even attended our wedding! Don’t you remember? Is your brain full of shit?"
Xiao Jin froze, looking closely at the woman. Indeed, it was her husband’s cousin, just dressed differently than usual—she hadn’t recognized her right away.
Xiao Jin bit her lip, her eyes gradually welling up, murmuring, "Everything was fine before..."
Her voice was soft, and no one heard clearly, "What did you say?" Mrs. Liu asked.
"Everything was fine before!" Xiao Jin shouted again, pointing at Bai Yiran, "Everything was fine before she came. But once she showed up, everything changed! It’s all her fault! Her fault!"
Xiao Jin’s outburst caused the Liu Family members to gasp instantly; Mrs. Liu practically wished she could sew Xiao Jin’s mouth shut.
Seeing Xiao Jin direct the accusation towards her again, Bai Yiran felt helpless and could only look apologetically at Mrs. Liu, softly saying, "Perhaps I shouldn’t have come today."
