Chapter 427 - 411: Spurning Kindness
"No way?" Gu Father smirked awkwardly, cursing Gu Mother in his heart. He had explained everything so clearly to her, yet she still had to create trouble.
Xia Na hung her head low without responding, and after a moment, Gu Tianming forced a smile and kindly replied, "I’ll go check on it after we finish eating."
With that, he enthusiastically encouraged everyone to eat the dishes, and using the serving chopsticks, he placed food onto the plates of Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan beside him. Gu Feng and Gu Meng quickly followed suit, serving Shitou and Lu Yun. The brief awkwardness thus easily passed.
After the meal, Xia Na, Xia Yuan, and Lu Yun went for a walk in the yard. Seeing the displeasure on Xia Na’s face, Xia Yuan sighed and advised, "Sis, don’t make yourself angry over this; it’s not worth it. Since your father-in-law has already spoken out, he’s restored some face for you. We all know what kind of person your mother-in-law is. Neither Xiaoyun nor I will take it to heart as we are not outsiders."
"Hmph, I’m not angry with anyone else; I just hate that I was too generous before, allowing her to take advantage of me. She doesn’t see me at all, step by step trampling on my dignity," Xia Na said as her eyes gradually reddened.
"What do you plan to do?" Xia Yuan asked, concerned, while Lu Yun also listened eagerly.
After Uncle and Auntie made their fortune, how they treated the in-laws and siblings, she had heard about it too. By rights, being in-laws and siblings, they should be satisfied, but unfortunately, unreasonable people in this world can’t be understood by the normal ones. Unless they suffer, it’s hard to teach them to know when to stop.
"I don’t want to do anything specifically. Next month, I’m just going to cut all expenses in Haicheng by half. I originally wanted to set a good example for Xiuwan, but now it seems unnecessary. They’ve been so spoiled," Xia Na said coldly, chuckling.
