They had been good friends before, but now they didn't look for her anymore!
She was trapped at home by her own son and couldn't go anywhere!
"If the Qi Clan isn't bullying, then what is?" Liu Xiangwen felt more aggrieved as she said, "Jiannan and Qi Youxuan had a fight before, so they forced us to transfer to another school. It was just a quarrel between children. How could children not fight, even if they were brothers and sisters? After the quarrel, everything will be fine. Children don't hold grudges. Just because of such a trivial matter, the Qi Family is so unforgiving — "
Chang Zhiyuan was really impatient. Indeed, it was such a trivial matter. Wasn't it annoying for her to nag over and over again?
"What do you want to say? You haven't answered my question just now. Why do you keep nagging about it? " Chang Zhiyuan glared at Chang Zhixing next to Liu Xiangwen. He was so angry that he didn't care that he was not suitable to discipline his brother's wife because of his identity. He just said, "Have you forgotten the pain after the scar has healed? Who was the one who cried so hard after coming back from school that day and couldn't even speak clearly? How long has it been? Have you forgotten it so quickly and are in a hurry to make trouble again? "
Liu Xiangwen's expression was particularly ugly after being ridiculed by Chang Zhiyuan.
Chang Zhiyuan was very depressed. No wonder Ruan Danchen didn't want to recognize him!
Who would be willing to recognize such a family?
Thinking of the harmonious Ruan Family and then looking at his own family, Chang Zhiyuan felt helpless.
"Forget the question I asked you just now if you don't want to answer it. Don't talk nonsense!" Chang Zhiyuan said impatiently.
"I just said that the Qi Family is acting strangely." Liu Xiangwen felt wronged and said, "It's my friend. She attended the wedding today and said that you were there too. She even sat at the main table with the Ruans, so she called me to ask me what's going on. The Qi Family … didn't the Qi Family send us a wedding invitation? How could you go in and sit in such a good position? "
Liu Xiangwen's mood was really contradictory. On one hand, she was especially angry at the Qi Family for "bullying" her. She felt that the Qi Family was unreasonable and had no magnanimity. She hated the Qi Family to the core.
But now that she knew that Chang Zhiyuan was going to attend the wedding and she didn't, she was very jealous and wanted to attend the Qi family's wedding to make herself proud, which was also a glorious thing.
He hated the Qi family, but he also wanted to be on good terms with them. It was an indescribable contradiction.
Liu Xiangwen's face changed. She looked at Chang Zhiyuan suspiciously. "Brother, could it be that the Qi Family actually sent a wedding invitation to our family, but you hid it from them and went there secretly?"
The moment she said that, Old Madam Chang immediately glared at Chang Zhiyuan, as if she really believed Liu Xiangwen's words.
Old Madam Chang also felt that what Liu Xiangwen said made sense.
Chang Zhiyuan was so angry that he laughed, especially when he saw that Old Madam Chang actually believed him. He was so angry that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys hurt.
"Do you believe me if I say that I happened to be passing by the entrance of the dynasty and was seen by the people of the Qi Clan?" Chang Zhiyuan sneered.
They naturally didn't believe him.
"Don't treat us like fools!" Liu Xiangwen said.
"Ha!" Chang Zhiyuan laughed mockingly. Naturally, he couldn't tell the truth to his family. When he attended the wedding today, he had already decided that he would protect Ruan Danchen and his niece no matter what!
The hostility and resentment in Chang Jingqiu's eyes towards Ruan Danchen made Chang Zhiyuan wary. Because of what Liu Xiangwen had done today, Chang Jingqiu would probably start to suspect Ruan Danchen. Chang Zhiyuan was now afraid that Chang Jingqiu would be forced to do something extreme to hurt Ruan Danchen in order to protect her identity and status.
This was also one of the reasons why he promised not to reveal Ruan Danchen's identity.
"I know that our family and the Qi Clan are not on good terms right now, and even if we were to fight them head-on, we wouldn't be able to defeat the Qi Clan. I have nothing to say about that. However, as the eldest son of the family, I have to support Chang He and take care of your lives. I can't be as willful as you. If you can't bear to lose face, I will. The Qi Clan indeed didn't invite us, and I don't have the face to make the Qi Clan invite me alone. "Chang Zhiyuan looked coldly at Old Granny Chang and Liu Xiangwen.
"If we hadn't fallen out with the Qi Clan, with the Qi Clan's status, regardless of whether we were close or not, the Qi Clan would have invited us, but …" Who asked you to be so shameless?
Chang Zhiyuan didn't finish his sentence, or else Old Granny Chang would go crazy.
"These days, because of the Qi Clan, the two of you have also felt the ill will of the circle, right?" Chang Zhiyuan looked at Old Granny Chang and Liu Xiangwen.
The two of them were angry but didn't say anything. They were still angry at the Qi Clan for being unreasonable.
Chang Zhiyuan could see that, but he felt helpless.
He shook his head and sighed. "I'm guessing that you don't like the feeling of being abandoned by the social circle, not having any gatherings, and not being praised when you go out. You must have had enough. Our Chang Clan is clearly a first-tier clan, but in terms of social interaction, we can't even compare to a small clan. Do you want to continue like this? Have those friends from before come looking for you? "
Liu Xiangwen pursed her lips. Old Granny Chang didn't want to admit it, but she couldn't find the words to refute.
"If you don't want to continue living like this, someone has to lower their head, right? Today, I gave up my pride and waited at the entrance of Dynasty with a red packet ready. The Qi Clan can't just stop me from entering. " Chang Zhiyuan pursed his lips. He only hoped that this reason could convince them, or at least make Chang Jingqiu lower her guard.
"As for the Ruan Clan." Chang Zhiyuan smiled sarcastically and said, "The other tables are all full. Their table only has five people, so it's the emptiest. Moreover, I was the one who shamelessly insisted on going over and apologizing. They can't just chase me away, right? "
As Chang Zhiyuan said that, he saw Chang Jingqiu's eyes flicker, and she seemed to be relieved.
Chang Zhiyuan calmed down a little and said, "The Ruan Clan has a good character, and they aren't unreasonable people. They let me sit there, but I was too shameless."
Old Granny Chang slapped the sofa's armrest hard. "What are you apologizing for! We didn't do anything wrong, so what are you apologizing for! If you apologize, others will really think that we're wrong! If you want to be a grandson, don't represent us! "
"Even if we're right, others will think that we're wrong. Who asked us to offend the Qi Clan? In their opinion, the one with the bigger fist is right. " Chang Zhiyuan said coldly. His mother still thought that he was right, so he didn't bother to argue with her.
If old granny Chang could admit that she was wrong, then she wouldn't be old granny Chang.
"Humph, they're just a group of ordinary people. It's fine if you apologize to the Qi Clan, but you also apologize to the Ruan Clan. How can they do that?" Old granny Chang was particularly unconvinced.
Chang Zhiyuan laughed angrily. "If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It has nothing to do with my identity. But if you knew this, you would have known it long ago."
He looked coldly at old granny Chang and Liu Xiangwen, including Chang Zhixing, who couldn't even control his wife.
He sneered and said, "You want to continue to live a good life, but you can't bear to lose face. Whether it's self-esteem or material wealth, you don't want to suffer losses. Now, in order to let you continue to live a good life, I've done shameless things for you, but now it's my fault? As the eldest son of this family, I do have the responsibility to take care of you, but I don't owe you anything. I don't care about face for your lives, but I don't want you to hate me! If you think I'm not good enough, you can do it yourself! I'd like to see what kind of good method you've come up with to not only save your face but also your material possessions! "
Chang Zhiyuan got up. He didn't want to talk to old granny Chang anymore.
"Where are you going? Stop! "Old granny Chang said sharply.
Chang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and looked down at her.
Old granny Chang's face was gloomy, and she seemed very reluctant. "We also know that you're in a difficult position, but since you're the eldest son of the family and the CEO of Chang He, both the company and the family are counting on you. Now that you've reached your current position, you naturally have to pay the corresponding price and responsibility, don't you? Besides, I'm your mother, and Zhixing is your younger brother. We're not outsiders, so why do you have to feel wronged? You're doing this for our own good. Isn't that what you should do? We're a family. If you don't do what's good for us, who else can you do it for? "
The corner of Chang Zhiyuan's mouth curled up mockingly, but he didn't say anything.
Mo Yuxin also stood up with him. No matter what decision he made, she always followed without asking.
But wasn't old granny Chang's words a little too shameless?
Why did Chang Zhiyuan have to suffer just because he was the eldest son of the family?
He gave them such a good life wholeheartedly for them, but he didn't receive their gratitude.
As a family, perhaps they wouldn't talk about repaying or not, but at least they couldn't be like them, acting like ingrates that couldn't be tamed!
They enjoyed the benefits he worked hard to create, but at the same time, they despised him for his shortcomings.
Mo Yuxin trembled with anger, but her hand was suddenly held.
She looked up and saw Chang Zhiyuan winking at her. He looked gentle and comforting, telling her that he was fine.
Mo Yuxin's eyes reddened, but she lowered her eyes and calmed down.
"Since you've made up with the Qi family, go and tell them to let Jia Nan return to Jixia Academy," Old Granny Chang said suddenly.
Chang Zhiyuan looked at Old Granny Chang in disbelief. Even if it was his own mother, he still had to ask her if she was sick!
Old Granny Chang thought that Chang Zhiyuan wasn't willing to say anything. She said with a sullen face, "Our only precious grandson, how can he go to an ordinary noble school? Isn't that lowering his status? It's too embarrassing to go to the same school as the children of those nouveau riches. This isn't fair to Jia Nan. What kind of status do those children have? Are they worthy of being our Jia Nan's classmate? "
Chang Zhiyuan's lips curled into a mocking smile, but Old Granny Chang didn't see it. She continued, "Since we've made up with the Qi family, and we were the ones who took the initiative to lower our pride, the Qi family should naturally repay us. We've already shown our sincerity, so it's time for them to show their sincerity. They should invite Jia Nan back in the most polite and solemn way! "
Chang Zhiyuan was no longer angry. Instead, he was horrified. Although it was a little unfilial to say this, he had to admit that his mother was a retard!
"Go and talk to them. Also, we'll suffer a little. Just treat it as acknowledging Ruan Danchen. At most, even if I can't stand her in the future, I'll say less. " Old Granny Chang felt that she was making a concession and bearing the humiliation. "Just … just treat it as I've acknowledged her identity!"
Old Granny Chang said with an aggrieved look.
Chang Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh. "Mom, Ruan Danchen really doesn't need you to acknowledge her identity."
"Why not?!" Old Granny Chang said loudly. "If she wants to establish a foothold in this circle, she has to socialize with others. Does she want everyone to look down on her?"
Old Granny Chang raised her chin slightly and said proudly, "I don't need to explain my status in the circle, do I? As long as I take the lead, everyone will be on good terms with her! "
Chang Zhiyuan felt that he only understood today that Old Granny Chang wasn't retarded. She was just dreaming.
"Do you think Old Granny Qi is useless? Her words are much more useful than yours. " Chang Zhiyuan couldn't help but sneer. "I heard that the Old Master of the Ruan Family and the Old Master of the Xiao Family used to be good friends. The Ruan Family may not be as rich as ours, but their reputation is much higher than ours. They often talk to the person at the top on the phone, and they're always mentioned as a national treasure. Tell me, who in our family is capable enough to do that? "
Didn't Old Granny Chang value her status the most and think that no one could compare to the Chang family? Those who were rich, Old Granny Chang thought that they were nouveau riche. Those who were poor, she thought that they were as poor as refugees.
In that case, he would let Old Granny Chang know that in terms of reputation, the Chang family was really not good.
Old Granny Chang's face was twisted by Chang Zhiyuan's words, but she still continued to be provoked by him. "Not to mention that Ruan Danchen doesn't need you to give her face. How many people in the circle are like you, who have such a high status and don't care about Ruan Danchen and scold her whenever they see her? "
Chang Zhiyuan sneered. "Which one of them isn't polite and trying their best to build a good relationship with Ruan Danchen? If you don't look at her, look at the Qi family and the Ruan family behind her. With such a strong background, only you think that she's not good enough and needs you to pull her up. "
Old Granny Chang didn't know if she was shocked or angry, but her chest rose and fell as she panted.
Actually, she felt both. Although she was angry at Chang Zhiyuan's words, she was also shocked. She had never paid attention to it and had always thought that the Ruan family were just ordinary nerds who did research. How did they become so powerful?
Since when did Ruan Danchen's background become so strong? Just based on this reputation alone, only the favored daughters of the eight great families could compare.
"When will you understand that you have no right to criticize others? Her life and identity have nothing to do with you. No matter how high or low her status is, the Qi family will take care of her. It won't be a disgrace to you. "Chang Zhiyuan was trying his best to persuade her.
What are you worrying about?!
"I'm not talking to you about this! I only said one sentence to you. Look at what you're saying! I'm old now, so my children don't care about me anymore, right? I was wondering why your wife always had such a disdainful expression when facing me. It turns out that you also have such an attitude! How can she respect me when you're already like this? "Old Granny Chang said angrily.
Mo Yuxin was speechless.
She was really innocent. Hahaha. Besides, Old Granny was really relying on the fact that the candlestick could not shine on her. She should at least look at herself and do something respectable.
"Just tell me if you're going or not! Since they want to reconcile with us, they can't always ask us to bow our heads, "Old Granny Chang said impatiently.
"…" Chang Zhiyuan pursed his lips and said gently, "Mom, it's my fault for not being clear with you. Although I'm going to apologize on behalf of our family, the Qi family will not stoop to my level. It won't affect our business cooperation in the future. They didn't say that they want to reconcile with us. "
Old Granny Chang's eyes widened. "Then why did you say so much and make yourself sound so wronged? You haven't settled anything, and you still have the nerve to stand here and talk about us? "
Liu Xiangwen wiped her tears beside Chang Zhixing. "Big Brother, didn't you say that it was for our good? You were willing to suffer for our sake. But now, you abandoned us and went to reconcile with the Qi family. Are you … Are you planning to only let Sister-in-law go out and socialize and let her build a good relationship with the people in the circle? Are you planning to abandon all of us? "
Liu Xiangwen's eyes sparkled with tears. "Big Brother, you … you're not thinking of splitting the family, are you?"
Chang Zhiyuan was so angry that he laughed. "Sister-in-law, your brain doesn't seem to work very well usually. You're thinking a lot at this time! Why? Are you afraid that I'll really separate from the family and ignore you? "
"Since you're afraid now, why don't you know how to be afraid when you're doing things? Can't you use your brain more? " Chang Zhiyuan looked at Chang Zhixing and pointed at Liu Xiangwen. "Take care of your wife. I'm your big brother. I'll just talk about her here. I won't hurt her. But if you let her go out like this, who knows how many people she'll offend? "
"Mom, one day, even if I kneel down to someone, I won't be able to save our family. I don't know if you'll really regret it when that time comes, "Chang Zhiyuan said coldly.
Nowadays, this family was used to forgetting the pain once the scar healed.
Back then, all of them regretted it very much, just like when Chang Jianan was forced to transfer schools. Liu Xiangwen did behave herself for a few days, but not long after, she completely forgot about it.
"I'm tired. My head hurts. I'll go back and rest first." Chang Zhiyuan's voice was really tired. "Zhixing, send Mom back."
After that, he took Mo Yuxin upstairs and ignored them.
When they returned to the bedroom, before closing the door, they could still hear Old Madam Chang's cursing, Liu Xiangwen's crying, Chang Zhixing's scolding of Liu Xiangwen, and Chang Jingqiu persuading Old Madam Chang.
…
After the wedding, the Qi family and the Ruan family gathered at the old mansion.
The next morning, Qi Chenglin and Ruan Danchen left the old mansion for their honeymoon. They had already packed their luggage and left it at the old mansion.
Qi Youxuan wriggled in Guan Liya's arms. He looked at little Youjin, who was happily crawling on the carpet. His black eyes darted around. He saw little Youjin crawl in front of the coffee table. Her little hands grabbed onto the edge of the coffee table, trying to prop herself up. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the fruits and candies on the table.
Qi Chengzhi frowned slightly and carried him up. Little Youjin was so anxious that he waved his short arms and legs and went straight to the coffee table, struggling with all his might.
"Yayaya!" Eat! I want to eat, I'm not … not full!
"Aiyo, look at how hungry the child is," Old Madam Chang said worriedly. "Can't you two let the child eat more happily?"
"What if Youxuan becomes so fat?" Qi Chengzhi said with disdain.
Qi Chenglin: "…"
Ruan Danchen: "…"
Qi Youxuan: "…"
He really was someone else's child. Look at him, he didn't feel any pressure at all when he disdained him.
"He's your nephew. Why do you disdain him so much?" Old Madam Chang said unhappily.
Old Master Ruan hugged Qi Youxuan in his arms. "Our Youxuan is the best like this. He's so soft and cute! Children need to be chubby to be beautiful. It's not good to be too thin. It's not a blessing. "
