Chang Zhixing and his wife were not happy to listen. Their expressions were very ugly, but under such circumstances, they did not interrupt. They were just angry.
"Don't you know the difference between the Chang family and the Qi family? How can the Chang family fight with the Qi family head-on? If they meet the Qi family, the Chang family will be at a disadvantage. Just look at today, no one dared to come to our banquet. Don't you know that? Everyone has to be polite to the Qi family, but you pointed at their nose and scolded them. Can the Qi family do that? " Chang Zhiyuan said angrily. He was so angry that he was powerless. "I went to apologize to them to prevent the Qi family from holding a grudge against us and preventing something like today from happening again."
"Mom!" Chang Zhiyuan shouted helplessly and hatefully. "The Chang family doesn't have the final say in the capital. There are many people who are more powerful than us, especially the Qi family. You can't be aggressive to everyone. Not everyone will give in to you."
Although Old Madam Chang often ignored everything when she was angry, she was not stupid. In fact, she regretted every time she lost her temper, but she refused to admit it because she wanted to save face.
At this moment, she knew that her son was right, but she was really unwilling to be scolded by Chang Zhiyuan. She bit the bullet and said, "Chang Zhiyuan, do you still know who I am? I'm your mother! How can you talk to me like this? You unfilial son! "
Chang Zhiyuan sighed helplessly. "Mom, tell me the truth. Since that time, have you provoked the Qi family again?"
"No." Old Madam Chang unintentionally shrunk her neck, and her voice was not as tough as before. She sounded a little guilty.
Chang Zhiyuan saw her like this. How could he not know?
"Mom, when did you provoke the Qi family again?" Chang Zhiyuan asked angrily and helplessly.
Other than having business dealings with Qi Chenglin, they should not have had the chance to meet in private.
Old Madam Chang saw that she could not hide it anymore, so she told the truth. "Yesterday, I took Jingqiu to pick up the clothes and happened to see Ruan Danchen there to pick up the wedding dress. She caused such a big scandal, but instead of staying at home to avoid people, she actually walked out casually. Does she not care about embarrassing the family? Is there something wrong with the Qi family's eyes? Why did he fall for such an unpresentable woman? I felt sorry for the Qi family, so … I tried to persuade her. Who knew that she wouldn't know what's good for her! "
How could Chang Zhiyuan not understand his own mother? When Old Madam Chang saw Ruan Danchen, how could she be trying to persuade her? She was clearly pointing at her nose and scolding her.
That was the Qi Family's business. What was there for her to do for them? Why would she worry about that!
"Mom, what do you want me to say to you!" Chang Zhiyuan said angrily and shook his arm hard. "That's the Qi family's business. It's not worth it for you to take care of them!"
"What kind of attitude is that? Why don't you say that Ruan Danchen was rude to me? You don't even have the slightest bit of respect for your elders. What an uncultured thing, "Old Granny Chang said unhappily.
Chang Zhiyuan didn't have the energy to argue with her. He just asked, "Was Qi Chenglin there when you 'persuaded' Ruan Danchen yesterday?"
"…" Old Madam Chang was speechless.
Chang Zhiyuan's breath was stuck in his chest. He couldn't let it go. Old Madam Chang must have scolded them too much yesterday. That was why Qi Chenglin dragged his brothers out to teach the Chang family a lesson.
He didn't know how to apologize this time.
Chang Jingqiu, who was standing at the side with a pale face, remembered that she had also invited Xia Zishan and Chen Libai, but the two of them didn't come. It was obvious that they were also afraid of Qi Chenglin and the others.
Xia Zishan kept calling her her bestie, but when the time came, she acted like this. Chang Jingqiu didn't call them either. She already knew in her heart that there was no point in asking for humiliation.
Chang Zhiyuan was exhausted and thinking about how to apologize when a greeter suddenly said in a clear voice at the entrance of the banquet hall, "Mr. Yan Beicheng wishes Miss Chang a happy birthday."
Chang Jingqiu, who was still pale, suddenly froze. Could it be a surprise for her?
Otherwise, why would someone as noble as Yan Beicheng personally come to celebrate her birthday?
Even if she didn't believe it logically, the vanity in her heart still made her look forward to it. The paleness on her face faded, and some vitality returned.
But when Yan Beicheng walked in, there was a person behind him holding a white wreath. He followed Yan Beicheng and walked to Chang Jingqiu. Without Yan Beicheng's command, the person behind him placed the wreath in front of Chang Jingqiu.
Chang Jingqiu's face turned even paler.
This … this was clearly a wreath to commemorate the dead!
Chang Jingqiu was so angry that her whole body trembled. Looking at the handsome man smiling in front of her, she was so angry that tears flowed down her cheeks.
Immediately after, a voice came from the entrance. "Mr. Wei Zhiqian wishes Miss Chang a happy birthday."
"Mr. Han Zhuoli wishes Miss Chang a happy birthday."
"Mr. Wei Zilin wishes Miss Chang a happy birthday."
"Mr. Chu Zhaoyang wishes Miss Chang a happy birthday."
These people entered one by one. Behind each of them was a man with an ordinary aura. He looked like a funeral parlor worker. Each of them held a wreath in their hands. There were white ones, light yellow ones, and all sorts.
The most outrageous one was Chu Zhaoyang. On the wreath, there was a huge "Memorial" word.
Not only did Old Madam Chang's birthday end in such a cold and cheerless state, these people even used such a thing to disgust them. She was so angry that her whole body trembled.
To use such an unlucky thing on her birthday, wasn't this cursing her granddaughter?!
Immediately after, they heard another voice. "Mr. Qi Chenglin and his wife wish Miss Chang a happy birthday."
Then they saw Qi Chenglin holding Ruan Danchen's hand as they walked in. Ruan Danchen couldn't bear it, but she had no choice but to be dragged by the man.
Unsurprisingly, there was also a person behind them. He held a large wreath that was twice the size of Yan Beicheng's and the rest's. He placed it beside the wreaths in front of them.
Just now, when they were eating, Qi Chenglin looked at the time and calmly said that the time was up. Then, he led Ruan Danchen out. Yan Beicheng and the rest followed.
But once they left the room, they saw a row of people outside the door. Everyone was holding a wreath in their hands.
Ruan Danchen wanted to ask who was so daring to find trouble with these men. But then, she heard Qi Chenglin say calmly, "Let's go."
Those people followed behind them. Their faces were solemn as if they were attending a funeral.
On the way to the banquet hall, they met Dynasty's manager. The manager's face was twitching, but he didn't know what to say to these men.
Ruan Danchen was curious about what Qi Chenglin wanted to do. What were these people going to do with the wreaths? In the end, they came to a birthday banquet where only the Chang Family was present and gave all these wreaths to Chang Jingqiu.
"Grandma!" Chang Jingqiu cried pitifully and threw herself into Old Madam Chang's arms.
Old Madam Chang's eyes were red with anger. She looked at the men in front of her. All of them were dragons among men. At that moment, they stood in front of her with unbridled postures. Their bodies were tall and straight, but they also seemed a little ruffian.
"You … What are you doing!" Old Madam Chang raised her arm and pointed forward. She trembled and didn't know who to point at. In the end, she pointed at Qi Chenglin.
Qi Chenglin's lips curled into a mocking smile. He looked at Old Madam Chang's angry expression as if he was watching a show. The angrier she was, the happier he was.
"I remember hearing the shop assistant mention that today is Miss Chang's birthday. Since we were fated to meet yesterday, we have to come and express our sincerity today." Qi Chenglin's lips curled up coldly.
"You're too much!" Old Madam Chang was infuriated. She screamed at the top of her lungs. After shouting, her throat hurt a little. She covered her throat and shouted, "Water, give me water!"
Chang Jingqiu was crying so much that she couldn't do anything. Chang Jingwan poured a glass of water for Old Madam Chang. Old Madam Chang drank it and felt better.
"Hey, old madam, don't ruin our sincerity. We personally picked these wreaths and specially requested that each flower be the freshest and biggest. " Yan Beicheng subconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket. When he felt disgusted, he really wanted to smoke one. It made his whole body feel good.
"What is the meaning of this!" Old Madam Chang pointed at them angrily. Her fingers and legs were trembling in anger. "Today is my granddaughter's birthday. Aren't you cursing us by giving us this? None of the guests dared to come today because of you, but you came to give us these unlucky things. What right do you have! You're such bullies! "
"I'm here to bully you today. I don't want you to be so old that you won't be able to think clearly. In the future, when you see my wife, you're still shouting and scolding her. If I don't do anything, are you still unclear of your position? I already said yesterday that the Chang family is nothing. Today, I'll let you see what the Chang family is in my eyes. Today, Miss Chang's birthday was ruined because of you. "Qi Chenglin curled his lips in disdain. Facing the old madam's anger, the mockery on his face deepened.
"You —" Old Madam Chang was angry, but she didn't know what to say.
At this moment, Qi Chenglin was an unreasonable person. He didn't deal with them in business, nor did he play tricks behind their backs. He just openly came to find trouble with them.
If he targeted them in business, the Chang family could still fight back. If he played tricks behind their backs, the Chang family could pretend to be unaware. At that time, the Qi family wouldn't be able to find trouble with them openly. After all, they were the ones who were in the wrong first.
However, Qi Chenglin did not choose either of those options. Instead, he had shamelessly come knocking on their door to annoy them. Due to his status, the Chang Family could not say or scold him for such an open and aboveboard act of seeking trouble. They could only suffer in silence.
"Old madam, remember this. Whoever makes my wife unhappy, I'll make her unhappy. Whoever makes my wife angry, I'll make your whole family unhappy. " Qi Chenglin looked at Old Madam Chang disdainfully. His black eyes swept over Chang Jingqiu.
"It's a pity I didn't make it in time for old madam's birthday," Qi Chenglin said faintly.
Old Madam Chang was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. What was with his regretful tone!
Chang Jingqiu was crying in Old Madam Chang's arms, so she didn't notice.
Old Madam Chang was angry and anxious. It was the first time she met such an unreasonable person. What difference was there between his actions and a rogue's!
She was already angry and frustrated, but Chang Jingqiu was still crying in her arms, which made Old Madam Chang even angrier.
Qi Chenglin couldn't be bothered to look at the Chang family anymore. He left with Ruan Danchen.
Han Zhuoli still hadn't played enough. It had been a long time since someone dared to provoke them. It was rare that Old Madam Chang had such strong fighting skills and was not afraid of death. He really wanted to play more.
"Eh, you're leaving just like that?" Han Zhuoli still didn't want to leave, but he was dragged away by Chu Zhaoyang without a word. "Qi Chenglin, remember to call me next time you have such good things! I'm a very good teammate. "
"Do you have Old God Chu?" Qi Chenglin didn't even turn his head. He walked in front and said coldly.
"…" Han Zhuoli thought of the big "Memorial" word on the wreath Chu Zhaoyang gave him. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he was stunned speechless.
When Old Madam Chang heard Han Zhouli and Qi Chenglin's conversation, she almost exploded in anger. She looked at the wreath again. She was getting on in years, and it was as if every year was a gift, waiting for the final moment to arrive.
Now, a bunch of unlucky wreaths were placed in front of her, as if cursing her to die earlier. Old Madam Chang's vision went black and she fainted.
Qi Chenglin and the others returned to their room and continued eating. Because it was about time, they came out halfway through. Luckily, it didn't take too long, and the dishes were still warm.
Ruan Danchen didn't say anything about Qi Chenglin's evil trick and threw it to the back of her mind.
Ruan Danchen was still worried about Qi Youxuan. The winter camp organized by the school ended today. According to the itinerary, they would return from the resort at three o 'clock in the afternoon. They would arrive at the school at around five o' clock.
On the way to Dynasty in the afternoon, Ruan Danchen was worried about Qi Youxuan returning from the winter camp today. She was afraid that Qi Chenglin's matter would delay them from picking Qi Youxuan up. However, Qi Chenglin felt that nothing was more important than getting revenge for his wife, so he asked Xiao Yang to pick him up.
Before they went to cause trouble, Xiao Yang called at around six o 'clock to say that he had picked up Qi Youxuan. Because there was a traffic jam, the children's car came back a little late.
Ruan Danchen wanted to talk to the little boy, but the little boy was unhappy that the two of them didn't pick him up, so he threw a tantrum and refused to talk to her. However, she was relieved that she had picked up the little boy safely. She asked Xiao Yang to give her a call after sending the little boy home.
Ruan Danchen kept looking at the time, wondering why Xiao Yang hadn't called yet. Qi Chenglin picked up a few pieces of boiled fish and carefully picked out the bones before putting them on Ruan Danchen's plate. "Hurry up and eat. Don't stare at your phone all the time."
It was a pity that Qi Youxuan was angry. Ruan Danchen didn't dare to call her son now. She felt a little sullen, but she couldn't blame Qi Chenglin. Who asked him to stand up for her today?
Qi Chenglin picked up the fish and she ate it obediently. The fish was fragrant and spicy, and it was soft and smooth in her mouth.
Just after she finished eating, Xiao Yang also called and said that he had sent the little boy home smoothly. Aunt Zheng had also prepared the little boy's favorite dinner.
"He's still angry?" Ruan Danchen couldn't help laughing when she thought of the little boy's angry look.
Xiao Yang didn't answer. She only heard him say to Qi Youxuan on the other end of the phone, "Youxuan, Madam wants to say a few words to you."
"No!" Ruan Danchen heard a faint voice on the other end of the phone. It was obviously the little boy shouting at Xiao Yang in a fit of pique.
Ruan Danchen could only go back to coax him, so she asked Xiao Yang to pass the message, "Tell him to eat well. We really can't pick him up today because we have something to do. We'll be back soon."
Xiao Yang didn't hang up. He let Ruan Danchen listen and passed the message to the little boy.
Without a reply from the little boy, Ruan Danchen could only hang up the phone.
…
When Old Madam Chang woke up, she was already in the hospital. She didn't have any major problems, but she was extremely angry. Now that she was awake, she was fine. However, the doctor was afraid that the patient's family would say that they were irresponsible, so he told the elder to go back and rest well, and not to get angry so easily.
Because of the relationship between Chu Zhaoyang and Qi Chenglin, they didn't dare to send Old Madam Chang to Chu Tian Hospital.
When Old Madam Chang woke up, Chang Jingqiu immediately threw herself on the bed. "Grandma, you're finally awake. You scared me to death."
Old Madam Chang was annoyed by her crying. She had finally woken up, but she kept crying as if she was attending a funeral. When she thought of the pile of wreaths today, her expression turned ugly.
However, when she thought of the grievances Chang Jingqiu had suffered today, she patted her head and said hatefully, "Qi Chenglin went too far today!"
"Mom —" Chang Zhiyuan said helplessly.
Qi Chenglin's actions today were indeed unkind. He had made a scene at Chang Jingqiu's birthday party. He had thought that by threatening the guests, they would be excluded from Chang Jingqiu's social circle, and that would be considered as teaching Old Mistress Chang a lesson. He didn't expect them to go even further.
Chang Zhiyuan thought about how Chang Jingqiu was the only child left behind by his deceased elder sister. He felt wronged for his niece.
However, the moment he was born, he immediately attracted Old Madam Chang's hatred. "You still have the nerve to call me mom! When Qi Chenglin and the others came to bully us, you didn't say a word. Why are you shouting now? You just watched as Jingqiu and I were bullied by them. How can you be a son and an uncle? "
Mo Yuxin couldn't stand it anymore. Her husband was being scolded by this unreasonable old lady to the point where he couldn't even raise his head. It clearly wasn't Chang Zhiyuan's fault. Wasn't it all because of old lady Chang?
"Mom, what do you want Zhiyuan to say in that situation? As long as he says a word and angers those people, they will gang up on our Chang family. Won't our family only be able to take a beating? At that time, our family will only suffer more! If you didn't provoke Qi Chenglin, why would Qi Chenglin come to mess up Jingqiu's birthday? As long as you control your temper and don't provoke the Qi family, our family will be fine. " Mo Yuxin couldn't stand it anymore. The more she looked at the angry mother-in-law on the bed, the more she felt that this old madam was a little disgusting.
"Are you blaming me? Chang Zhiyuan, you really got a good wife. Now she's scolding her mother-in-law. What else does she not dare to do? Is this how you usually manage your wife? You can let her talk back to me as she pleases? She's usually respectful to me, but she's outwardly obedient but inwardly opposed me. She must have scolded me behind my back! Mo Yuxin, I see that you're very dissatisfied with me. Why don't you say it all today and directly anger this old madam to death? That way, I won't be an eyesore. "Old Madam Chang smashed the bed again and again, making loud bangs.
Mo Yuxin clenched her teeth and endured the grievance. Her eyes were red.
Her husband was very good and her children were sensible. Why did she have such a mother-in-law?
Chang Jingwan, who was at the side, also shrank back in fear. She quietly held her mother's hand and comforted her.
"Mom, what are you saying? Today is supposed to be a happy day." Liu Xiangwen wanted to say something but hesitated.
Mo Yuxin fiercely glared at Liu Xiangwen. At this time, not only did she not comfort the old madam, but she also added oil to the fire. Did she think the family was not messy enough?
"Mom, Yuxin's tone might not be very good. Her words were a little hasty, but she was also thinking for the family. Tell me, if you didn't provoke Qi Chenglin and his wife yesterday, would they come to make trouble today? Would Jingqiu's birthday end up like this? "Chang Zhiyuan said in a deep voice.
