Chapter 49: Meeting the Parents Without Makeup, Facing Disdain
Huo Qinglin hadn't expected her to have so many demands. He was a little annoyed by her, but thinking about tomorrow's cruise party, he could only agree with a tone of forced patience: "Fine, I'll come pick you up later to take you home for dinner."
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you!" Lin Banxia's mission was accomplished, and a hint of smugness flickered across her face.
Knowing she had to go to the Huo Family for dinner, Lin Banxia's heart tightened a bit, like a drawn bowstring ready to be released.
Going to the Huo Family inevitably meant running into that cunning, sharp-tongued, cold and snobbish mother-in-law from her past life.
In her previous life, that woman had despised her for not being from an elite background, asserting that she wasn't worthy of her exceptional son.
Before marriage, she would feign concern with a few kind words, but after the wedding, her true colors were revealed in full.
The servants assigned to their home were dismissed by her under all kinds of pretexts.
As a result, much of the housework naturally fell to her. She washed clothes, cleaned, cooked, and if the food wasn't up to par, she'd endure cold stares.
Lin Banxia truly didn't know how the former her had survived such a hostile environment.
