Chapter 875 - 868: Insulted
Old Mrs. Lu’s words almost made Qiu Zi and Luna spit blood, and even Leng Liewei looked awkwardly embarrassed.
Everyone turned to look at Bai Yiran, seeing her still maintaining a polite smile. On the surface, she didn’t seem angry because of the old lady’s words, but those who knew her understood that this expression meant someone was going to be unlucky.
Yet Old Mrs. Lu remained oblivious and continued, "If you can’t drive her away, why are you staying with the Leng Family? Are you planning to be a mistress?"
"Grandma! What are you talking about?" Qiu Zi felt like she was about to collapse. Why did she have such bizarre family members?
When Lu Qian heard the old lady, she immediately said, "No, being a mistress is not acceptable!"
Qiu Zi helplessly covered her face, wanting to cry, "You guys have really thought it through, be a mistress? Even if I laid naked in front of Leng Yichen, he wouldn’t glance at me. I beg you, use some common sense, will you? This is the Leng Family, can’t you watch your words a little?"
"What kind of talk is that for a young girl? And talking about being naked!" Old Mrs. Lu immediately scolded Qiu Zi.
"Exactly!" Lu Zitong chimed in, "Grandma and Auntie are your elders, how can you say they don’t have common sense? If anyone lacks common sense, it’s you!" Lu Zitong glanced at Bai Yiran, muttering under her breath, "Not using the great opportunity at hand..."
Although Lu Zitong’s voice was low, Bai Yiran still heard her. She turned to look at Lu Zitong sitting next to Old Mrs. Lu and asked, "According to your words, does that mean if it were you, you’d really be ready to lay naked in front of my husband?"
What Bai Yiran said was equivalent to slapping Lu Zitong in the face publicly. Leng Liewei’s expression also turned sour as he looked at Lu Zitong. If they came with the intention of disrupting his son and daughter-in-law’s relationship, then they better not blame him for turning hostile. By today, Leng Liewei had fully accepted Bai Yiran as his daughter-in-law; after going through hardships together, he practically regarded Bai Yiran as half a daughter, and no one should even think about stealing his daughter’s man!
Old Mrs. Lu noticed the change in Leng Liewei’s expression and glanced at her granddaughter. Indeed, they had this idea in mind earlier, believing Lu Zitong was more important in her heart. Bringing Lu Zitong along was also in hopes of finding her a bright future. Although her granddaughter’s little thoughts were not very nice, they stemmed from human nature. Old Mrs. Lu couldn’t bear to criticize her granddaughter, so she could only take it out on Bai Yiran.
"I must say, you really don’t understand manners, kid. Let’s not mention that we’re Luna’s family, whom you should be hosting properly. Even if we were ordinary guests, you shouldn’t speak so aggressively! Besides, Zitong didn’t say anything much, why do you react so strongly?" Old Mrs. Lu glared at Bai Yiran, holding the posture of an elder, "Zitong is still an unmarried girl, and you’re ruining her reputation by talking like this!"
Bai Yiran looked at Qiu Zi helplessly, thinking your grandma is truly unbeatable, managing to stir trouble without reason.
Hearing Old Mrs. Lu’s words, Qiu Zi retorted indignantly, "Her reputation is already bad enough back home, what more is there to ruin? Grandma, didn’t you bring her here hoping to leverage the Leng Family’s influence to find her a good husband?" Qiu Zi was utterly frustrated. They could insult her, but now even Bai Yiran was criticized. They really thought this house was theirs, "You guys are asking the Leng Family for help with something, at least act like you’re asking for a favor. Grandma, you come here acting all high and mighty, even speaking to Yiran that way, do you think it’s appropriate?"
Hearing what Qiu Zi said, Lu Zitong wouldn’t have it. She pulled on Old Mrs. Lu’s arm, whining, "Grandma, what kind of words are those from Qiu Zi? Why don’t you say something to her!"
Old Mrs. Lu was used to being pampered at home, where none of these younger people dared to contradict her. She was accustomed to a life of comfort and assumed she could enjoy the same anywhere. After all, this wasn’t just any place; it was her younger daughter’s home. She felt it was only right to carry herself with an air of authority.
She didn’t expect to be scolded by Qiu Zi like this, which made her feel humiliated. Her old heart couldn’t handle this, and anger rushed straight to her head. Old Mrs. Lu clutched her forehead, rolled her eyes, and fainted straight back.
