Chapter 1177: The One Courting Disaster Arrives
Bai Xiao, behind everyone's backs, pinched An Zhiyuan. An Zhiyuan smiled gently, holding her hand tightly, and a few people headed to the dining room together.
Before settling at the table, they noticed an unexpected guest.
Ding Min appeared in everyone's view.
An Zhiyuan's face looked displeased. The grudge between himself, Bai Xiao, and Ding Min was something Wei Shufen was aware of. Was she trying to provoke them?
"Hello everyone! Big Brother! Second Brother! Third Brother! Why do all of you look so gloomy? Are you not welcoming me?" Ding Min had changed a lot. Her long hair had been permed into waves, and her outfit no longer resembled that of a cultural troupe member; she now looked like a person of society.
A person of society who seemed to be doing quite well.
"How could that be? Look at what you're saying! Your big brother, second brother, and third brother all grew up with you; how could they not welcome you! Have a seat, sit next to the third brother, Ke Lan, you sit next to the aunt, she likes you, and we two can have a nice chat," Wei Shufen arranged quietly.
Bai Xiao understood, today's setup was aimed at An Zhixiang.
An Zhiyuan was pinched by Bai Xiao, still unaware of his wife's intent, smiled at Bai Xiao. He never put Ding Min in his mind.
If this woman didn't stir trouble, she could be treated as a relative.
If she wanted to mess things up, then she shouldn't blame them for being impolite.
He generally didn't get involved in women's affairs! But that didn't mean he couldn't.
For so many years, Ding Min lived well only because she didn't touch An Zhiyuan and his brothers' vital spots.
Ding Min directly walked to the chair beside An Zhixiang, glaring at Ke Lan with absolute malice.
An Zhixiang pressed a hand on the back of the chair, "No need to change, Mom! You will have plenty of time to get close with Ke Lan; for now, it's better for her to sit by my side, I'm used to having her around. If she's not here, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat, and I'll starve thin! You wouldn't want that either.
Ding Min, you sit next to Mom, after all, she's your aunt, no need to be courteous!"
He pulled Ke Lan to sit down, casually served her some fish-flavored shredded pork.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat stagnant.
Wei Shufen's actions were inexplicable; none of the people were fools.
An Zhiyuan pulled out a chair for Bai Xiao, and the two sat down. Big brother An Zhigao and sister-in-law also sat down with their child.
For a moment, it seemed that only Wei Shufen and Ding Min were left standing.
An Cheng was the first to sit down; while everyone else was still not seated, this family head had already sat down.
Wei Shufen looked embarrassed.
Ding Min stared daggers at An Zhixiang.
That look was as sharp as a knife.
Slicing the man across from her little by little.
"Everyone sit down to eat, why are you still standing?"
An Cheng glanced at Wei Shufen, making Wei Shufen feel chilled.
She hurriedly called Ding Min, "Come, Xiaomin, sit over here. Your third brother already has a girlfriend, he won't treat you as well as before, come over, come to Aunt!"
Words with hidden meanings.
Ke Lan glanced at An Zhixiang.
Ambiguous.
Once Ding Min sat down, this meal would signify a relaxation of the atmosphere.
Unfortunately, Ding Min apparently didn't come with her brain.
"Third Brother, how can you be like this? You clearly like me, how can you change your heart now? You said you would be good to me for a lifetime, you said it, but now you're not keeping your words!
In what way is this woman better than me?
What about her attracts you?
You can't just find a woman to marry because I rejected you, that's irresponsible to yourself and a betrayal of me."
Bai Xiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
An Cheng swept a glance over; this daughter-in-law was too unruly.
Bai Xiao laughed, "Sorry! Dad, I really couldn't hold it in, this kind of robber logic I have never heard before, clearly said they'd reject someone, yet how do they have the nerve to say someone betrayed them?
I don't know, could it be that when one likes another and gets rejected, one must hold on for a lifetime! Otherwise, it's considered betrayal?
Really sorry, nobody taught me at home that things can be reasoned this way!"
An Zhigao secretly gave a thumbs up to support, "Little sister-in-law said too much, a person without shame can argue unreasonably. Who hasn't liked someone before, encountering such a thing, are you saying our Zhixiang has to commit for a lifetime just for unrequited love?
That's quite a big face.
Third sister-in-law, don't mind it, some people like to talk to themselves! Back then, they came running, saying the second sister-in-law stole her man, almost causing harm to our Zhiyuan.
That's while she had unrequited love, Ayuan didn't even pay her attention, she could still think that way, let alone the third brother.
Just as a relative who grew up together, take a little more care of her!
She really considers herself a charmer!
Don't take it to heart!
It's not good for your marital relationship to be influenced by such petty people."
Ke Lan said calmly, "Big Brother, rest assured, I understand Axiang well, he's a person of deep sentiment, previous events that didn't involve us can't be accounted for; as long as he's truly with me, I won't be looking to settle old scores.
Axiang, I trust you!"
She placed a big shrimp into An Zhixiang's bowl.
"Oh, that's more like it!"
An Zhigao's exaggerated expression made people laugh uncontrollably.
Ding Min watched An Zhixiang being totally indifferent to her, feeling even more resentful, wanting to say more! But Wei Shufen pulled her over.
"Sorry, Xiaomin has been facing some problems at work lately! She's in a bad mood, sometimes doesn't even understand what she's saying, everyone don't mind." She forced Ding Min down into a chair.
This matter couldn't be stirred up any more, further stirring would leave a bad impression only of Ding Min.
It wouldn't harm Ke Lan and An Zhixiang in the slightest, even though she intended to help Ding Min marry An Zhixiang, it couldn't be done by falling out with the An Family.
But Ding Min wouldn't understand her intentions, she flung off Wei Shufen, stood up, and overturned the table.
If Bai Xiao hadn't noticed something wrong and quickly got up to dodge, they might all be covered in food sauce now.
An Cheng held his chopsticks! Still maintained a composed posture, chopsticks just about to catch food when instantly the table was empty in front of him.
Empty was empty!
The plate of braised pork hocks was parked right on An Cheng's head, sauce dripped down his cheeks.
A funny sight, an expression of shock.
Wei Shufen hadn't expected Ding Min to do this.
This was courting disaster!
She urgently stepped forward with a towel to clean An Cheng, "Old An! See how unknowledgeable this child is, she's still a child, forgive her this once, I'll go back and properly teach her." To appease An Cheng.
An Cheng took over the towel himself, frowning, "You should still send Ding Min back, we want to have a peaceful meal, a family reunion, what's it with having an outsider here!"
After all, Ding Min was not a child of his family, An Cheng couldn't say, nor did he wish to say.
But these words hinted to Wei Shufen! Quickly send the person away.
