Chapter 585 Turning Hostile
Old Mrs. Song was infuriated.
Everyone was coming at her as if she had committed some unforgivable crime.
"What do you want? Are you all trying to eat me alive?"
She seemed quite flustered and furious.
Old Sir Song threw down the chess piece with a crash, "That's how it's always been, I let you have your way, pampered you, but you can't just throw your weight around outside, in someone else's home. This is the Wu family, not the Song family."
His face was dark as storm clouds, his heart ablaze with anger. This old lady usually knew where to draw the line, giving him some face. But now, causing a scene in the Wu family in front of them, and even dragging the Wu family members into it.
What's the meaning of this?
Mr. Wu restrained Old Sir Song, "Old Meng, we're all old, is there any need to get so worked up? Whatever it is, let's sit down and discuss it calmly."
He exchanged a glance with his wife.
The old couple were both anxious, how could they not be? This concerned their granddaughter Jiang Xiaoxiao.
Mrs. Wu went over and led Old Mrs. Song to sit down.
"Alright, don't lose your temper so easily. After all these years, haven't you changed that temperament? Only Old Song can tolerate you. If it were our old Wu, you'd be divorced in two days."
Old Mrs. Song was amused.
"You think Old Song is great. You know Old Song's temper, always banging the table and glaring."
The atmosphere softened instantly.
Mrs. Wu advised earnestly, "Old Meng, we don't know the full story, and as outsiders, we shouldn't speak out of turn. But watching Moting and Xiaoxiao, those kids are really nice, so filial to you both.
You two care for them so much, what's the matter this time, why make such a big fuss? Driving the kids and even your great-grandson away. Even if you don't care for those two kids, what's Tang Yuan done to offend you?"
Old Mrs. Song couldn't come up with a reason, only held back her anger to say.
"I can't say what's wrong with them, I just dislike them from the bottom of my heart. Seeing them makes my head hurt, and my chest nauseous. I don't know why, but I just feel an unspeakable aversion to these two kids."
Old Mrs. Song spoke honestly.
Mrs. Wu paused, this reason was quite strong, just because she couldn't stand them.
For nearly thirty years before, they seemed to please you.
"Did they do something that upset you? Just say it, you know those two kids have straightforward temperaments, they would certainly change."
Old Mrs. Song shook her head, "Let's not talk about them, whenever I think of them, I feel ill again. Let's talk about Xiao Hui, this child is actually good, I've misjudged her before, she's sensible, obedient, and clever.
Look at the little sweetheart she gave birth to, so adorable."
Mrs. Wu's face sank, she had been holding back her anger just to solve the conflict between the old lady and her grandson, granddaughter-in-law.
Now things had turned, the old lady started praising another child, although the grandchild-in-law was hers, what did it have to do with her?
"Old Meng, don't evade the important issue. What does this have to do with Fang Xiaohui? You can't just like Fang Xiaohui and drive those two kids out, can you? That's too much. You've cherished those kids for so many years, driving them out without a reason. What sense does that make?"
Old Mrs. Song sulkily responded, "Old Wu, what's your problem? They're my grandchildren. I'll treat them how I want. Why're you making a fuss? They're not your grandchildren, granddaughter-in-law, why argue here with me?"
Her words struck Mrs. Wu to the core.
Indeed, she had to keep this secret forever. Saying it out loud would cause a storm, attracting all kinds of attention, how could she utter it?
Just because of this, she couldn't even have a righteous excuse to protect her granddaughter, being yelled at in front of her.
Her face turned cold, "Old Meng, since you put it that way, they're your grandchildren, grandchild-in-law. Why are you coming here? Which grandchild, grandchild-in-law you like has nothing to do with us.
Like Fang Xiaohui as much as you want at home, praising her to high heaven here, what for? I tell you, if there's nothing, go back home. Our home won't accommodate people who change faces like flipping a book."
This had crossed the line.
Old Mrs. Song was embarrassed, that wasn't her intention, indeed her earlier remark had slipped out unthinkingly.
She really didn't mean to offend Old Wu.
She wanted to say something more.
Mr. Wu was already standing up, "Auntie, show them out."
This meant not even giving explanation a chance, immediately throwing them out.
Old Sir Song and Old Mrs. Song were left defeated as they exited the Wu home.
"Old Wu's couple, what's this fuss about? Getting upset with us over this? This is all Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting's fault!"
Blaming Jiang Xiaoxiao and Song Moting again and again, angered Old Sir Song.
"Dare to blame the grandson and granddaughter-in-law, I tell you, if it's blame, blame yourself, look what you said in front of others' faces, don't give others face and expect it back. I never saw you like this, polite, reasonable, everyone called you charming.
Now, suddenly behaving like a street shrew, irrationally insisting on your crooked logic at others' houses. You dislike Xiaoxiao and Moting, fine! I like them! I'm going to live with them, leave the house to you and Fang Xiaohui. Since you cherish them, enjoy them all alone."
Old Sir Song left Old Mrs. Song behind.
She was furious, stamping her feet on the spot.
What's with today?
Everyone's against her, what did she say or do?
How come everyone's anger was aimed at her, what terrible thing had she done, to incite everyone's wrath?
Isn't she just biased towards a granddaughter-in-law and grandson?
How did it get to this.
When she favored Song Moting and Jiang Xiaoxiao, no one said anything. Now, just changed a person, it turned into this.
"Fine, don't come back, never come back. You think without you, I can't live."
Old Mrs. Song also angrily walked away.
