Chapter 673: Forced to do something
In the banquet hall near Mr. Ou's side, Xie Ruxue, her mother Ye Yanzhi and her aunt Ye Yingran stood together.
At this moment, Xie Ruxue really didn't expect that after she provoked Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan, the old woman next to her who she casually cursed would be Ou Jinghuan's mother.
Originally, when she heard her aunt Ye Yingran say that Ou Jinghuan's mother would really come to the birthday party today, she still held on to a lucky mentality.
She thought that even if Ou Jinghuan's mother came, it would not be such a coincidence that she was the old woman she complained about.
But Aunt Ye Yingran's description of what Ou Jinghuan's mother was wearing today made her lose all her hope.
Because today, the only woman she saw wearing an emerald green cheongsam was the one she had scolded.
Suddenly, she thought of something, looked up at her mother, her eyes a little erratic, and whispered:
"No... no, of course I have nothing to hide.
Mother, aunt, is Brother Jing Huan's mother close to Mrs. Lu from the Lu family? "
Ye Yingran felt a little puzzled by Xie Ruxue's strange behavior. She frowned slightly and said:
"Well, Xia Shumei, Lu Qiqi from the Lu family, and his wife Ying Muyun have been good friends for many years.
Why do you ask this suddenly? Did you really meet Ou Jinghuan's mother and Mrs. Lu just now? "
Ye Yanzhi also kept staring at Xie Ruxue, watching with a serious face how Xie Ruxue would answer.
Upon hearing this, Xie Ruxue combined the information she had learned previously with the confirmation that Ou Jinghuan's mother and Mrs. Lu had a close relationship.
She was now absolutely certain that she had just offended her future mother-in-law, who was a crazy woman.
At this moment, she thought of the "last chance" her aunt had mentioned earlier. She swallowed her saliva, then gritted her teeth and said:
"Hmm... then the person I just saw should be Brother Jing Huan's mother, who was with Mrs. Lu..."
Ye Yanzhi could see that Xie Ruxue was afraid, but she didn't know what exactly she was afraid of.
She thought Xie Ruxue just didn't dare to contact Ou Jinghuan's mother, who was said to have become mentally ill because of love.
She had heard about Xia Shumei from her sister's friend Luo Yajie before, saying that when Xia Shumei went crazy, she wouldn't even recognize her own son.
Like Xie Ruxue, Ye Yanzhi was actually a little scared about Xia Shumei's arrival.
Therefore, she thought Xie Ruxue was just afraid of contacting Xia Shumei, so she expressed her understanding and comforted her:
"Ruru, I know you are scared, but since Ou Jinghuan's mother can come to the birthday party, she must be mentally normal.
It's a good thing that she comes. Before you start planning, you should communicate with your future mother-in-law in advance.
How about this! You take us to where Ou Jinghuan's mother is, and we'll go and say hello in advance."
Hearing this, the puzzled expression on Ye Yingran's face disappeared. She nodded in understanding, and said in a much gentler tone:
"That's right! Everyone in the Ou family knows how much Ou Jinghuan cares about his mother.
If Ru Ru can win over Ou Jinghuan's mother, it will definitely be helpful to us in the future."
As Ye Yanzhi and Ye Yingran were talking, they prepared to pull Xie Ruxue back in the direction they had just come from.
Xie Ruxue didn't expect that her mother and aunt were going to meet Ou Jinghuan's mother now, and her face was full of reluctance.
And she thought that Li Chuyue, who is now Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend, was also there, and she was worried that her aunt would find out that they lied last time.
Because her aunt had asked her before if she knew who Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend was, and she didn't even believe it at the time.
In addition, the news that she bullied her classmates at that time was widely spread.
Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi were both worried that after they told about Li Chuyue, their aunt/sister and uncle/brother-in-law would abandon them and stop helping them.
So they didn't tell their aunt about Li Chuyue, and now they didn't dare let Ye Yingran and Li Chuyue meet.
She wanted to remind her mother not to go, but her aunt was right next to her and she didn't know how to stop her mother and aunt.
At this moment, Xie Ruxue could only try to wink at Ye Yanzhi, speaking very quickly, with hidden meaning in her words:
“This isn’t good…Brother Jing Huan’s mother is still chatting with Mrs. Lu, and there are some people around.
Now doesn't seem like the right time for us to bother them, maybe we can do it later..."
"Stop talking nonsense and go now!"
Ye Yanzhi still thought that Xie Ruxue's reasons for resistance were her own, so she spoke in a firm tone and interrupted Xie Ruxue directly.
"..." Seeing this, Xie Ruxue felt helpless and anxious, and felt like she was about to cry.
In the end, Xie Ruxue, who did not dare and could not tell the truth directly, had to be forced to do something by Ye Yanzhi and Ye Yingran.
Just when she thought she was going to be scolded by her mother, she had an idea and thought of a way to delay.
Just when she was about to take her mother and aunt in circles, deliberately preventing them from getting close to Li Chuyue and Ou Jinghuan's mother.
Suddenly, Xie Ruxue saw something, she stopped and stood still.
She turned her head to look at her mother and aunt standing on either side of her. Seeing their different expressions, she felt despair again.
On the side, Ye Yanzhi and Ye Yingran also saw what Xie Ruxue saw, that is, Li Chuyue, Xia Shumei and others who were walking towards them.
Ye Yingran didn't know that Ou Jinghuan's girlfriend, whom her husband Ou Dehui had been searching for for many days but couldn't find, was right in front of her.
She looked at Xia Shumei and Ying Muyun walking towards her and showed her dignified and decent smile.
The opposite of Ye Yingran was Ye Yanzhi. The smile she had prepared could not come out the moment she saw Li Chuyue.
She didn't expect Li Chuyue to appear at the Ou family's birthday party and stand next to Ou Jinghuan's mother.
The expression on her face was even more colorful than when Xie Ruxue discovered it before. It was shocking, but also a little weird.
When Xie Ruxue saw the ever-changing expressions on her mother's face, she was so scared that she wanted to step back.
But as soon as she moved, Ye Yanzhi suddenly increased the strength with which he was pulling Xie Ruxue's arm.
She looked up and saw Ye Yanzhi's expression, which was trying hard to restrain but still looked extremely angry. She was immediately frightened.
"Why didn't you tell me that she was here too?!" Ye Yanzhi leaned close to Xie Ruxue's ear, lowered his voice and anger, and asked.
Xie Ruxue felt pain in her arm and subconsciously tried to hide, her whole face twisted.
But she was afraid that if she hid, she would be beaten by her mother like she usually was at home.
So, she gritted her teeth and persisted in the force Ye Yanzhi exerted on her arm, and her eyebrows turned inward.
Xie Ruxue, who grew up under Ye Yanzhi's control and oppression for a long time, no longer shows her pain.
As usual, although she was explaining, she still spoke with deep apology and whispered:
“I…I forgot I didn’t tell my aunt about Jinghuan’s girlfriend.
Later, I remembered! But...but my aunt was next to me, and I was afraid she would hear something, so I kept saying I didn't want to disturb her and asked her not to go.
Finally... Mother, you guys just won't listen, and I really have no other choice..."
"Oh!" The veins on the back of Ye Yanzhi's hands bulged, and she was speechless and could only sigh deeply.
But what she didn't know was that soon she wouldn't even have the chance to sigh.
At this time, Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan were walking together, Lidina pulled Dai Jinyao to Yan's side, and the three of them followed not far away.
Xia Shumei and Ying Muyun walked on one side of Li Chuyue, and the two continued to reminisce about the past, while Lu Muqi followed behind the four women.
Li Chuyue, who was walking in front, was the first to see Xie Ruxue and her mother. She noticed their expressions and immediately signaled Xu Zhishan to look over.
When Xu Zhishan looked at Xie Ruxue, Xia Shumei next to her had also noticed Xie Ruxue who had just belittled her.
She looked into Xie Ruxue's eyes, which were filled with guilt, and her expression was very calm.
When she saw a hint of regret on Xie Ruxue's face, the faint smile she had been wearing while chatting disappeared.
"Cock!"
When Xie Ruxue saw the expression on Xia Shumei's face, which was almost exactly the same as the one Ou Jinghuan had given her before, her heart sank.
In an instant, she realized it belatedly, and the fear that she felt when facing Ou Jinghuan surged into her organs all over her body.
This forced her to rethink whether she should tell her mother and aunt what she had done before they went to say hello.
