Chapter 439: 444 Sharp Sarcasm_1

Lin Xiangwan was only halfway through her meal when the door suddenly burst open, and in walked Xu Feng’e, crying bitterly. "Father, mother... Qin Gang, Qin Gang is seeing another woman again!" she sobbed.

No one at the dinner table said a word or made a move. They all glanced at her.

There was an unwritten rule in the Qin Family: dinner time should be peaceful, no matter what the circumstances. Any issues should be dealt with after dinner.

Of course, it was all right for the elderly couple to lose their temper, but others didn’t have that privilege.

Xu Feng’e noted the dissatisfaction in the stern eyes of the old master of the Qin Family. The old madam also gave her a cold look.

She stopped crying, tried to hold back her tears, and said in a whimpering voice, "Father, mother, Muchuan, you guys finish your meal first. I will speak after you’re done!"

After that, nobody responded to her, and everyone went back to their meal.

This incident seemingly improved Lin Xiangwan’s mood instantaneously. The guilt she had due to the rib incident was instantly lessened quite significantly.

Well, her mother-in-law’s crying was ugly and her noise was disturbing, the grandparents must be very annoyed by this, right?

This would surely divert their attention from their dissatisfaction with Lin Xiangwan.

Unable to resist, she ate a few more mouthfuls of fish, dessert, and vegetables.

Well, it turned out the chef of the large mansion could make dishes that taste even better than those at a five-star restaurant!

It had the sophistication of a restaurant but the homeliness of home-cooked food, which made it even more appetizing!

Seeing that his wife was enjoying her meal, Qin Muchuan couldn’t help but smile. She should be taking pleasure in someone else’s misfortune, huh?

This clever woman, she always found joy in others’ misery. He knew her small tricks too well!

After dinner, Lin Xiangwan very sensibly took her child to play in the garden. Qin Muchuan was about to follow, but was stopped by Xu Feng’e. "Muchuan, don’t go. I need to speak with you about your father!"

Qin Muchuan looked at her amused and said coldly, "My father? Sorry, I have no idea where my father is. I must have lost him many years ago. The best thing you can do is discuss your issues with my grandparents. Don’t worry about me!"

Xu Feng’e blinked her eyes, on the verge of shedding more tears.

The old patriarch turned to look at Qin Muchuan. "Chuanchuan, just stay here. Your grandmother is getting on in years and her emotions are not stable!"

Qin Muchuan thought for a moment and agreed. Losing his temper with his grandparents certainly wouldn’t be a wise decision.

So he just stood aside.

As Xu Feng’e began to narrate her story, she wiped her tears. "He promised me before that he wouldn’t see other women, but recently he’s been coming home late again!"

This conversation was all too familiar to Qin Muchuan. He remained silent and pretended as if he hadn’t heard anything.

He had heard these words so often that they no longer agitated him; instead, they started to aggravate.

The old patriarch said, "Qin Gang is a department manager at a company. It’s normal for him to have a busy schedule that could include business trips or drinking parties that go late into the night, at which point it’s reasonable for him to rest somewhere nearby."

"But he used to come back home every night, but recently he hasn’t come home at all!" Xu Feng’e continued her sobbing.

The old matriarch had heard these complaints over and over again for many years without any resolution. This was now her normal, so how could things be any different this time?

She was quite blunt in her response: "You should have clearly realized what kind of person Qin Gang is. You’re only here because of his looseness. If he hadn’t played around with women, how could you, as an outsider, have ended up in the Qin Family?"

Her comment left Xu Feng’e embarrassed. "Mother, I know I was wrong before for not refusing Qin Gang’s pursuit, even knowing that he had a family. But I’ve been a daughter-in-law of the Xu Family for so many years. Regardless of my past faults, don’t we still have feelings for each other? You can’t just watch him bully me like this, right?"

The old matriarch gave a cold smile. "I’m sorry, but I haven’t felt a strong bond with you over the years. At times, I think about Chuanchuan’s mother and wonder whether this home would be a lot livelier if she was still alive."

Xu Feng’e was so angry that she didn’t know whether to cry or to hate Qin Gang for cheating on her. Now she just wanted to have a showdown with this old witch. "Mother, don’t you consider Yechuan as your grandson?"

Yechuan, her son, had already graduated from college, but he didn’t do anything.

However, he did inherit the good looks of her and Qin Gang, which made him very handsome.

This was something that made her very proud as a mother!

"Yechuan..." The old matriarch said his name and softened slightly. "Having Yechuan is indeed the only reason why you are allowed to stay in the Qin Family. How else would you qualify to be here?"

"Mother..."

"Enough! In the future, deal with these issues yourself. How old are your father and I? Can we still manage Qin Gang’s affairs? He is a grandfather himself; He should be able to handle his own issues!" The old matriarch waved her hand, making it clear that she didn’t want to be involved anymore.

Xu Feng’e had anticipated this outcome. It wasn’t the first time it had turned out this way.

However, this time, she had a request. "Mother, can Qin Gang, Yechuan, and I move back to the Ancestral Residence?"

"Isn’t your villa already well decorated? Why would you want to move back here?" the old matriarch said in annoyance.

Xu Feng’e continued her woeful sobbing. "When we lived in the Ancestral Residence, Qin Gang behaved very well, coming home every day. But once we moved out, he changed. I think we should move back here temporarily. With you and father around, he will be more considerate and will come home after work, wouldn’t he?"

The old matriarch chuckled. "It seems you really can’t control my son!"

"Yes, so I need to rely on father and mother!" Xu Feng’e said, trying to appease them.

It was not too much for Feng’e to ask to move back in. "You can move back if you want, but not for long. Whenever we ask you to leave, you must do so immediately!"

"Yes, we will do exactly as you say!" Xu Feng’e agreed obediently.

Qin Muchuan scoffed at this.

But anyway, it didn’t matter whether his parents stayed or not, considering they were only going to stay for a week at most.

.........

After hearing from her husband, Lin Xiangwan was surprised at the decision. "What? How can grandmother let them move in?" she asked in annoyance.
