Chapter 891 Provocation
"Big Brother! Sister-in-law, did you drive Xiaohui and the others out? My daughter’s mistakes are for me, her father, to discipline. Just like your Xiaohui—I have never overstepped my bounds and interfered with Big Brother’s authority to reprimand them." Grandpa Yu was visibly upset. That’s his big brother, but he couldn’t stand his granddaughter being bullied.
Bai Xiao already didn’t have that strong a sense of belonging with them. If Big Brother kept causing a commotion like that, wouldn’t they assume she felt the same way? Wasn’t the little bit of foundation that had just been built now entirely ruined?
Uncle Yu’s eyes were wide with rage. "Second Brother! You’re really something! I’m standing up for you, yet you help her speak? Your family sticks together, huh? So it’s just my wife and I meddling in someone else’s business now, isn’t it?"
Grandpa Yu didn’t respond, but his attitude very much suggested agreement.
Yu Shaoyan quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Uncle, Dad, you’re both brothers! Why are we, as one family, being so meticulous with our words? Uncle! We’re all family; one pen can’t write two Yu characters. Why let this cause tension? Let’s not fight—we’re all family. Come on, since Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan are here, let’s start eating, start eating. Let’s all gather together warmly and give the newlyweds a proper welcome."
Uncle Yu’s wife tugged on his arm, leaving him no choice but to suppress his anger, give a cold snort, and turn his head away so as not to look at Bai Xiao and An Zhiyuan.
Finally, the family sat at the table.
But this meal was far from enjoyable. Grandpa Yu and Grandma Yu deeply regretted it. If they had known earlier, they wouldn’t have invited Big Brother and his wife’s family over. Instead of a joyful reunion, they’d ended up upsetting Bai Xiao.
Yu Shaoyan and his wife worked hard to enliven the atmosphere, and although it remained awkward and strained, most people’s attitudes had softened. Uncle Yu didn’t make things difficult for Bai Xiao anymore, but he still didn’t look at her with much kindness.
