Everyone was stunned by the Old Madam's slap. Chan Ka-yin used to be tortured when she was dating Lê Nam Giệu, but after they got married, she was treated like a princess.
Her cheeks burned with pain, and her tears flowed out reflexively.
Qu Lian was even angrier when she saw how wronged she was after slapping her. Was she trying to tell everyone that she was being bullied? She was the one who had done something so embarrassing.
Thus, she, who was originally going to stop after one slap, decided to use both hands to vent the anger in her heart.
"Slap, slap, slap …"
Li Xiao felt so refreshed when she heard the sound. She could not help thinking, "Slap her a few more times!"
Li Qianfei reacted and screamed. She rushed up and pulled Chan Ka-yin behind her. "Grandma, what are you doing? Why did you hit my mother? "She hit her so hard that both sides of her mother's face were swollen.
Qu Lian staggered because of the sudden movement. She was wearing high heels, so she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
The Old Madam gasped. Her ankle hurt so much that she broke out in a cold sweat. She sprained her ankle because of the fall.
Lê Nam Giệu hurried forward to help his mother up.
Li Xiao did not fall behind. She helped the other side and said to Li Qianfei disapprovingly, "Chien Fei, how could you push Grandma? What if something happened to Grandma? Hurry up and apologize to Grandma! "
Li Qianfei was so angry that her eyes turned red when she saw the person she hated the most standing on the moral high ground and criticizing her. Usually, she would apologize immediately, but after hearing Li Xiao's words, she was rebellious. She straightened her neck and said, "I didn't do it on purpose. It was Grandma who hit Mom for no reason. What did Mom do wrong? She is so filial to Grandma, but Grandma bullied her when she came back. "
Moreover, she had slapped her mother in front of everyone without showing any mercy at all.
"Even if Grandma did something wrong, she is our elder. You have to understand." Li Xiao said in a reasonable manner, as if Li Qianfei was being unreasonable. Li Qianfei was so angry that she almost broke her silver teeth from clenching them.
Qu Lian was so angry that her chest heaved up and down when she saw her unconvinced look. Sure enough, no matter how much she doted on this girl, she was still on her mother's side when something happened!
She pulled out a stack of photos from her bag and threw them at Li Qianfei. She said angrily, "I bullied your mother? Why don't you see what disgusting things she did? She is the daughter-in-law of the Family, but she's with another man! "
"Immoral and fickle. I was wondering why she insisted on continuing to be an actress when our Li family is not short of money. It turns out that it is convenient for her to seduce men. She cheated on my son, didn't she? "
"No matter how bad Xu Manqin is, he knows how to respect himself. He wouldn't do such a despicable thing."
A series of insults came out of Qu Lian's mouth. Obviously, she had been holding these insults in her heart for a long time.
Those insults drilled into Chan Ka-yin's ears and turned into knives that cut into her heart. Her face lost all color and she felt her limbs turn cold. She wished she could dig a hole in the ground and hide in it.
"No, it's not like that. Mom, listen to me … "Her voice was so weak that it sounded like she was going to faint at any moment.
Qu Lian sneered, "How do you want to explain it? Did Ren Xiaotang force you? Then go and sue him! If you dare to sue him, I'll believe you. "
The two people quarreling, one was his wife and the other was his mother. Moreover, his mother had taught Jiayin a lesson for him. Although he felt sorry for Jiayin being beaten, he couldn't stand on her side at this time. It would only poke his mother's heart and add fuel to the fire.
Chan Ka-yin couldn't say a word. Her body trembled slightly. If it was any other time, her little face would be pale and her eyes would be filled with tears. Naturally, she would be pitiful. However, her cheeks were red and swollen now. If she acted like this, it would hurt her eyes.
Lê Nam Giệu unconsciously looked away, "Mom, you just got off the plane. You should go in and rest."
Although Qu Lian was very angry, she still gave her son some face and stopped scolding.
"Let the doctor take a look at me first. I sprained my ankle."
Li Xiao frowned and looked worried, "I hope it's not a big problem. Grandma, you can't take it."
Qu Lian glanced at Li Qianfei, who was holding the photos in a daze, and couldn't help but curse under her breath, "Ungrateful wretch."
In the past, she often found fault with Xiao Xiao because of Chien Fei. In the end, Chien Fei was still on her mother's side. On the contrary, Xiao Xiao knew how to feel sorry for her.
Li Qianfei didn't care about her grandmother's opinion of her. She looked at the photos, and her face was as pale as snow. At this moment, she finally guessed why the atmosphere between her parents was so strange after she came back.
So that's why.
She was no stranger to Uncle Ren. Before she returned to China and met her father, Uncle Ren often took care of them. It could be said that Uncle Ren's existence satisfied her desire for a father's love. She also knew that Uncle Ren had always liked her mother, and even until now, he hadn't married because of her mother. However, she didn't think that this was a big deal. Her mother was so good, so what if she had an admirer? All these years, Uncle Ren had been trying hard to control his feelings and treat her like his own daughter. She couldn't bear to see Uncle Ren being slandered.
Before her father and mother got married, they didn't lack people by their side. They even gave birth to Li Xiao with Xu Manqin. In comparison, her mother didn't do anything to let her father down. She only hugged her once. Her father was too petty.
It was just that her mother and Uncle Ren were too careless. They were actually caught on camera, and it was so clear that they couldn't find an excuse even if they wanted to defend themselves. Grandma couldn't accept it because of the old-fashioned views of the previous generation.
"Mom, you …"
She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
Chan Ka-yin couldn't help but lower her head in front of her daughter. "Phil, there's really nothing between me and your Uncle Ren."
Li Qianfei quickly said, "I know. If you really wanted to be with Uncle Ren, how could Dad have the chance to be with you?"
Chan Ka-yin was most afraid that her daughter would despise her because of this. Hearing these caring words, her eyes turned red. "But they don't believe us."
Li Qianfei said, "That's because they're perverts. You and Uncle Ren are open and honest. They're the ones who think the wrong way. You've always been like this. "
"Mom, you're not wrong. They're too petty. "
She was so busy comforting herself that she didn't notice Lê Nam Giệu, who was not far away and had returned.
***
Lê Nam Giệu listened to his daughter, who was usually well-behaved and considerate, trying to comfort Jiayin. His expression was obscure.
Were they perverts? The two of them were open and honest?
He felt that this was ridiculous, but he couldn't laugh. It turned out that for Jiayin and Ren Xiaotang, this kind of interaction was normal, so his daughter, who loved her dearly, didn't take it seriously. She even thought that it was normal.
Usually, when he picked a ceremonial dance with someone else because of work, Jiayin would be jealous and make trouble with him. If it was her, she would naturally interact intimately with her admirer.
He originally thought that as long as Jiayin apologized to him and promised to keep a distance from Ren Xiaotang, he would forgive her and not care about her past unintentional actions. But now …
He looked at the mother and daughter one last time and turned back to the living room without hesitation.
In the living room, the family doctor was examining Qu Lian's foot. "Just in case, you'd better get an X-ray. It might be fractured."
Qu Lian's face darkened. She was not young anymore. If it was really fractured, she didn't know how much rest she would have to take. Thinking of this, she became even angrier at Li Qianfei.
Lê Nam Giệu said, "I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up."
Qu Lian turned her head and didn't see Chan Ka-yin and Li Qianfei. Her tone became even worse. "I'm injured like this, but the mother and daughter didn't do anything?"
Li Xiao said, "Feifei is probably comforting Auntie. After all, Auntie's heart has been greatly hurt."
Qu Lian heard this and became angry again. "I also fractured my foot! It turns out that my fracture is a small matter. Her being in a bad mood is a big matter. If she didn't do such a shameless thing, would I have scolded her? She still felt wronged. What did she feel wronged about? Didn't our family treat her well enough? Our Li Clan doesn't lack money. We don't need our mistress to be an actress in public. She insisted, and I didn't stop her. In the end, she did such a shameful thing, and I scolded her. Is it my fault? "
Li Xiao instigated a little and didn't say anything. It wasn't good to be too obvious. She saw that this grandmother's impression of the mother and daughter had become very bad. She had achieved her goal.
The nanny found a wheelchair and let Qu Lian sit in it. Lê Nam Giệu drove her to the hospital. Li Xiao was too lazy to take care of this old woman who valued boys over girls. She said a few words of concern and went back to her room to rest.
When Qu Lian came back in the evening, she quarreled with Li Qianfei and Chan Ka-yin again. No, to be precise, Qu Lian unilaterally insulted Li Qianfei and Chan Ka-yin. Qu Lian's foot was diagnosed with a comminuted fracture. It had been put in a thick cast and would take a long time to recover. Li Qianfei saw this and couldn't help but feel guilty. He allowed Qu Lian to insult him.
As for Lê Nam Giệu, he used the excuse that the company was busy recently and didn't come back. He was sandwiched between his mother, wife, and daughter, which made him very anxious.
Li Xiao was so happy to see them fighting each other that she didn't want to go back to her villa. She wanted to stay for a few more days to watch the show. Of course, she said that she was worried about her grandmother, so she wanted to stay and take care of her. Anyway, there was no shortage of nannies and nurses at home. It wasn't her turn to take care of her grandmother. At most, she would say a few good words.
Perhaps because she was hurt by Li Qianfei, Li Xiao became a filial granddaughter in comparison. Qu Lian's attitude towards Li Xiao improved a lot. She didn't care that Lê Nam Giệu gave Li Xiao 10% of his shares. After she learned from Lê Nam Giệu that Xu Manqin was burned to death, she felt that Li Xiao had no one to rely on. If she wanted to gain a foothold in the Li Clan, she could only rely on them. In addition, she had the intention to support Li Xiao as a warning to Chan Ka-yin and her daughter. Therefore, her attitude towards Li Xiao changed 180 degrees. In the short term, she naturally wouldn't quarrel with Li Xiao because of the shares. Anyway, Li Xiao was still young. Even if they were to get married, it would be a few years later. There was no hurry.
Li Qianfei saw that her granddaughter's relationship was getting better and better. She was so angry that her teeth itched. She originally called her grandmother back to teach Li Xiao a lesson. Who knew that she would lift a stone and make her and her mother's situation worse. If this went on, her father and grandmother would stand on Li Xiao's side. Would there be a place for them in this family?
While she was anxious, her brother from the same mother, Li Qianxing, returned to China.
