Chapter 1141: Bluffing (3)
"This child... I was just saying that casually, how come..." Guan Tongshi’s eyes suddenly reddened.
She was indeed grateful to Yang Ruxin, but that’s just how people are. When something happens, you might be willing to give your all, but once it’s over, emotions that ought to lean a certain way still do. After all, she had her biases against Yang Dani from the beginning, so seeing her own family seemingly favoring Yang Ruxin made her uncomfortable.
Especially during the New Year, when she returned to her parents’ home, her brother and sister-in-law were full of complaints about her, accusing her of ingratitude. She was so upset that she couldn’t eat; after all, that was her own maternal family, which had indeed helped her in the past. She couldn’t just abandon her own family, could she?
Tong Lingling was a girl she had watched grow up, and now whenever she saw her, Lingling’s eyes would be red, and she would act so cautious around her. It pained Guan Tongshi to see this.
"Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore," Guan Danian glanced at his wife, "You know, in the future, it might be better to spend less time with your brother and his wife... That Tong Lingling is not a good one either..." He paused, "I’ve told you before, we don’t owe the Tong Family anything. Isn’t his shop doing better than the Scholar’s Shop now? The business is much better than before..."
Guan Tongshi furrowed her brows but didn’t dare to counter him and just turned her head, sulking on her own.
At that moment, Yang Ruxin’s voice came from outside: "Qingyue, are you home, Qingyue?"
Guan Qingyue’s eyes lit up instantaneously, and she dashed out: "Xinxin, I’m home..."
Yang Ruxin entered the room with Du Man, nodding to Guan Danian and Guan Tongshi: "Uncle, Auntie, Happy New Year."
Following along, Du Man also greeted them.
