Chapter 877 - 878: Thicker Skin Than City Walls
Ma Lili’s family of three walked towards Wang Xiaoqiang and his group, and the hall suddenly fell silent, with all eyes turning to the three of them.
Ma Lili’s father hung his head low. Under everyone’s gaze, he truly felt he had no place to hide, yet with his dominant wife at home, he felt he had no choice but to follow her lead.
Arriving at Song Xiaodong’s table, Li Gang immediately rolled his eyes and said, "What are you still doing here?"
Ma Lili’s mother, with a smile plastered on her face, said to Wang Xiaoqiang, "My dear son-in-law."
"Son-in-law?" Li Gang said bluntly, "You have the nerve to say that, your shamelessness could be used as a city wall."
Ma Lili’s mother felt somewhat embarrassed, but still managed a smile and said, "Look, son-in-law, there was some unpleasantness just now, but today is the happy day of your wedding to Lili, all these relatives and friends know that it’s you two who are meant to be together."
Li Gang glared and retorted, "Happy wedding day? You know that too? What were you doing earlier? When you saw someone else was rich, you cast the wedding aside, and now that Xiaoqiang has made something of himself, you want to come back. Do all the good things in this world have to revolve around you?"
Li Gang had always disliked Ma Lili’s family, but since Wang Xiaoqiang himself liked her, he had kept it in his heart and refrained from saying too much. Now he couldn’t hold back any longer and let it all out, without a hint of courtesy.
Ma Lili’s family blushed and became hot-eared from Li Gang’s scolding, but they shamelessly stayed put. Ma Lili’s mother even nudged her daughter, signaling her with her eyes.
Ma Lili bit her lip, took a deep breath, then in that coquettish voice of hers said, "Hubby, I know I was wrong, please forgive me just this once, okay? I’ll treat you well from now on. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do without throwing a tantrum, I’ll listen to you, alright?"
