At the birthday banquet, it was the old lady's most glorious moment. Her children and grandchildren were present, and the guests filled every seat, all offering flattery and blessings.
Suddenly seeing Liu Shanshan and Xie Yunfeng barge in, the old woman's face darkened immediately.
"Oh ho! Liu Shanshan, how did you find your way here?" The eldest aunt sneered and stood up. "Truly shameless, weren't you going to die if you left the Xie family?"
Liu Shanshan's good mood vanished, and she trembled in her wheelchair.
Xie Yunfeng quickly pushed the wheelchair. "Mom, let's go!"
"Wait!" The eldest daughter-in-law jumped out. "So you think you can just come and go as you please? Explain how you got in! You weren't on the guest list for the ancestor's banquet this time!"
Xie Yunfeng turned back coldly. "Eldest Aunt, Mom and I live across the street. This is our private garden, you are the ones who trespassed!"
What?
The Xie family's eldest daughter-in-law paused, then burst into laughter, unable to straighten up. "Yunfeng, what did you say? You live in Jin Hai Yi Dong? Hahaha, if you two pathetic wretches could live in Jin Hai, I could fly to the sky!"
Having won a prize today, the eldest daughter-in-law was too smug and couldn't help but mock them.
The old woman stared intently at her second daughter-in-law in the wheelchair, feeling utterly disgusted!
She hobbled over, leaning on her cane, her face full of disgust. "Liu Shanshan, if you don't acknowledge me as your mother-in-law, then get lost! It's my birthday, such a happy occasion, why are you here to cause trouble? What do you want?"
Liu Shanshan had been suppressed by this old woman for decades and feared her. She explained softly, "Mom, I really live here..."
"Shut up! You dare call me Mom! I don't acknowledge you!"
The old woman flew into a rage and turned. "Chang'an, come out here!"
Xie Chang'an, who had been cowering at the back of the crowd, watched the banquet unhappily. Now, his heart sank, and he tremblingly stepped forward. Su Dan Novels.
The old woman's cane swung viciously at his face. "Kneel!"
"Mom, please don't be angry..." Xie Chang'an's face flushed and paled. He plopped down on his knees. "I, I'll make her leave immediately! Won't that stop you from being angry?"
The old woman hit him with her cane again and again. "You useless piece of trash, I shouldn't have let you marry this sickly woman in the first place. You've disgraced my Xie family's name."
The guests and relatives present frowned and sighed.
They whispered amongst themselves.
"This Liu Shanshan is truly suffering. After marrying into the Xie family, she's worked like a dog, and no one cared when she was sick. Now she has to endure this!"
"Hmph, it's not easy to get into a wealthy family, she chose it herself!"
"But this old lady is truly heartless!"
"The old lady is biased, always favoring the eldest son's family. To put it bluntly, it's because the eldest daughter-in-law's family has power and influence behind them."
"Yeah, I heard the eldest daughter-in-law's father is a high official?"
"He's the deputy head of the Heavenly Tax Department, and he's about to be promoted to the top position!"
"Tsk, no wonder!"
The murmurs further stimulated Liu Shanshan. Her body, which had finally recovered, collapsed.
She coughed violently, and Xie Yunfeng was flustered.
Over there, Xie Chang'an, having taken another beating, felt wronged and angry. When the old woman finally stopped, he immediately stood up, turned, and roared at Liu Shanshan, "What are you doing here? Aren't you tormenting me enough? You're such bad luck, just die already!"
His words were venomous, and he even raised his hand to push her.
Liu Shanshan's wheelchair tipped over. Xie Yunfeng desperately righted it, stood in front of his mother, and roared, "If you have the guts, come at me! If you dare to touch my mother again, I'll kill you!"
The scene descended into chaos!
It was a complete mess!
Xie Chang'an roared and slapped him. "Animal, I'm your father!"
Xie Yunfeng stood still, not retaliating, blood trickling from his lips!
"Stop!" Just then, Su Bingyan and Qin Yexuan arrived.
They hurried over, and Bingyan pulled her brother aside, looking at his swollen face with immense heartache.
"Sis... look at Mom, I'm fine!"
In the wheelchair, Liu Shanshan was already struggling to breathe in pain.
Qin Yexuan quickly appeared, crouched down, pinched her tiger's mouth, and then pressed her philtrum. He finally managed to help her regain a breath.
At the front, the eldest aunt and her daughter Xie Xinying were already pointing at Su Bingyan and cursing.
Every kind of unpleasant word imaginable was uttered.
At this point, they no longer cared about the principle of not airing dirty laundry. Even the old lady joined in.
Enduring waves of humiliation that washed over her face, Su Bingyan's complexion turned pale as she protected her brother and mother.
She was speechless, especially when facing such shameless and despicable people.
Tears welled up in Su Bingyan's eyes. Despite her many skills, she was helpless against the Xie family.
Every family has its troubles, and speaking of them only creates more chaos.
Who was right and who was wrong, no one could say for sure.
But the guests and relatives in the hall looked at Su Bingyan with contempt, all believing that Liu Shanshan and her two children had come to stir up trouble!
The Xie family was wealthy, and Su Bingyan was an illegitimate child raised outside. Therefore, the old lady had driven their family out.
Now, Su Bingyan shamelessly caused a scene at the birthday banquet, wasn't she just trying to get some money?
The accusations and contempt crushed the resilient Su Bingyan.
She choked up, nearly bursting into tears!
At this moment, a warm and tall figure appeared.
Handing a tissue to Bingyan, Qin Yexuan's expression was terrifyingly calm.
"Take Yunfeng and Auntie back, I'll handle this!"
