Chapter 2036: Falling Out (7)
The marriage talks of Ruan Jun, the Ruanlin Family hadn’t expressed any opinions throughout the entire process due to living in Beidu. Even after returning to Yuansu with Ruan Jiaojiao, they did not intervene. Even when Mrs. Hong embarrassed the Ruan Family at the dining table last time, she said nothing, since this was the younger generation’s issue and it was Ruan Jun’s own choice for a wife. With Ruan Jiandang and Liu Qingyun around, there was no reason for her, as the grandmother, to interfere. Perhaps because she hadn’t intervened the whole time and spoke rarely, it gave the Hong family couple the impression that she was easy to get along with.
But now, with the smashing of the cup, a single sentence, and a glance, she completely stunned Mrs. Hong.
Even because she lifted her eyes and glanced at her expression now, Mrs. Hong’s heart trembled.
It was truly that the imposing presence of the Ruanlin Family was too intimidating, just like the matron of a large family in the past, merely giving a glance made people feel her powerfulness.
The previous aggressive demeanor and relentless arguing felt as if it had been punctured, leaking away completely.
Originally, Ruan Jiaojiao had intended to confront Mrs. Hong head-on upon seeing her attitude, but upon witnessing the Ruanlin Family’s action, she fawningly poured another cup of cold tea for her and handed it over, "Grandma, drink tea."
After the Ruanlin Family took it, she hurriedly pulled a chair over and sat next to her, placing her small hands on her knees, displaying an overly obedient behavior.
Yet the appearance seemed very much like a little maid by the side of a matron who had gained power, now wielding authority by proxy.
"Mom..." Hong Ling called out to Mrs. Hong with reddened eyes, truly frightened this time.
If Mrs. Hong really continued this commotion, it would anger not just Ruan Jiaojiao but possibly the entire Ruan Family.
She raised her head and quickly scanned the faces of the Ruan Family, particularly glancing at Ruan Jianguo and Shu Jiao. Ruan Jianguo’s emotions were quite overt and now his naturally dark face was even darker, while Shu Jiao seemed expressionless but somehow her gaze felt cold.
