Chapter 451: Chapter 451 The Foolish Filial Man’s Wife 66_1

Liao Kai listened quietly to Zhang Zhaodi’s complaints without making a sound the entire time.

It took her a while to realize that Liao Kai hadn’t said a word, and Zhang Zhaodi was very dissatisfied, "You’re not going to take care of your sister’s wedding?"

"I just need to show up, and that’s enough," Liao Kai reaffirmed his position, "Don’t expect anything else from me."

"Haven’t I made enough contributions to our family?"

"And what has come of it?"

"Don’t talk to me about brotherly or sisterly love, as I really haven’t seen it. All I’ve felt is being calculated against, again and again."

"Mom, we’re here," Liao Kai indicated to Zhang Zhaodi that she could get out of the car now.

"Aren’t you coming in?" Zhang Zhaodi looked at Liao Kai with hope, "You might not have seen your dad for a long time."

"No, I have things to do."

"Come visit him another time, and besides, Liao Jun isn’t out of work right now; he can take care of you two at home."

Liao Kai really didn’t want to go inside. What for? To be cornered, persuaded, asked to give money to help Liao Jun open a shop?

Thinking of Liao Jun, who recently lost himself at home and did nothing but drink all day, Zhang Zhaodi let out a soft sigh.

"Feng Lili left the country by plane yesterday; that woman is truly heartless."

"Our son is still locked up, and without the trial results being out, she just left the country," Zhang Zhaodi cried when she thought of her grandson behind bars.

Listening to Zhang Zhaodi mention Liao Bin, Liao Kai’s mood soured, "Get out of the car. I need to go take care of something."

Zhang Zhaodi looked at the downcast Liao Bin and remembered that it was because of Liao Bin’s scheming against Liao Jiayu that he ended up in jail, "Well, Xiao Bin is like this now..."

"I’m not his dad, and I’ve also cut ties with Liao Jun, whatever happens to him, don’t talk to me about it."

As soon as Zhang Zhaodi got out of the car, Liao Kai immediately started the vehicle and sped away.

Taking time off to stay at home and wait for Liao Xuan, she rushed out when she heard the sound of the car only to see the back of it.

"Mom, where is my second brother?" She didn’t see him anywhere.

Zhang Zhaodi wiped her tears, "He had something to do and left."

"He said he won’t lend the wedding car, and he will only show up at the wedding," Zhang Zhaodi said as she headed home, worried that if she was too slow, Liao Xuan would start to lose her temper again.

He wouldn’t lend it? Liao Xuan was furious, and while looking at Zhang Zhaodi’s retreating figure, she exclaimed, "Mom, what’s the matter with you? You handled it, how could we not get the car?"

"Isn’t he your son?" Many relatives weren’t going to show up, and not showing up was one thing, but they didn’t even plan to give any money as wedding gifts, which was truly infuriating.

What made her even more upset was that Liao Kai wouldn’t help at all, not even to lend a car.

The more she thought about it, the angrier Liao Xuan became, "I won’t have a wedding."

"What’s the point of having a wedding, just to embarrass ourselves?" said Liao Xuan, angry and indignant.

Zhang Zhaodi knew these words were actually intended for her to hear, "If you don’t want to hold the celebration, then don’t."

"You’re an adult; you know how to handle things," Zhang Zhaodi continued walking home.

Hearing that Liao Xuan said she wouldn’t have the banquet, Zhang Zhaodi actually breathed a sigh of relief inside. It really is tiring to host a wedding feast in the heat of summer.

Liao Xuan had intended to scare Zhang Zhaodi a bit, but instead she got more than she bargained for.

No matter how much she regretted her words now, they were already spoken, and many people had heard them. She really couldn’t bring herself to take them back.

Forget it, I’ll confirm with the old lady when I get back, I don’t believe she doesn’t look forward to recouping her gifts.

Liao Kai did not agree to lend his car, thinking Liao Xuan would burst out again causing trouble, and he had prepared for it.

Unexpectedly, Liao Xuan didn’t show up at all. Not only did she not appear, but they also received notice that the wedding was called off.

Although he didn’t understand why they weren’t having a banquet, he still had to give the customary gift money. Since so much had already been spent, he didn’t fuss over this small amount.

Liao Xuan took the red envelope from Liao Kai, her expression no more pleasant than before, "Don’t think that by giving me this red envelope, I’ll feel grateful."

"If it weren’t for you, the wedding would definitely have taken place." For a woman, such an important life event, and she missed out on the ceremony.

This was his fault again? Liao Kai had no words, nor did he want to explain anything, "Whatever you think."

"If you feel a bit regretful about not having a ceremony, you can consider remarrying."

"Next time, you can have as grand a wedding as you want." Liao Kai was really sincere in his suggestion.

This was suggesting she remarry? Looking at Liao Kai, who appeared genuinely earnest, Liao Xuan felt he was mocking her, "I’m not going to remarry."

"Since I’ve married Xie Haiqing, I will live a stable life."

"I certainly won’t do like Feng Lili, divorcing and remarrying like that."

Looking at the agitated Liao Xuan, Liao Kai cleaned his ears, "My ears aren’t deaf yet; there’s really no need for you to speak so loudly."

"Right, I’ve delivered the gift money, I’m leaving." Staying would just be a waste of time.

Zhang Zhaodi remembered that Liao Jiayu graduated from junior high school this year, "I remember Xiao Yu graduated from junior high this year, how did she do on the middle school exams?"

"Not bad, she got into the affiliated high school." The acceptance letter had arrived just two days ago, and they knew she could get into the affiliated high school as soon as the results were out.

Liao Xuan knew her niece Liao Jiayu had good grades, but she had not expected them to be this good, "Not bad at all, that’s a respectable score."

"Even though she scored well in the middle school exams, she can’t relax in her studies, or she won’t get into a good university," Liao Xuan said bitterly.

She really didn’t hope that Liao Jiayu would get into a good university, or else her own university degree would seem just average.

Liao Kai chose to ignore his younger sister’s sour words.

Zhang Zhaodi, upon hearing Liao Jiayu got into such a good high school, was also stunned, and contrary to Liao Xuan’s words, the old lady actually agreed with them.

"Yes, Liao Kai, your sister is right. The middle school exam results were good, and getting into such a great high school is wonderful, but she should not let her guard down,"

"and must aim for a good university, to meet better boys." In the old lady’s heart, she still believed girls should marry a man with good conditions.

"That’s still a long way off, and besides, when Liao Xuan got into university, I didn’t see her ’enlighten’ her taste in men," Liao Kai critiqued harshly.

"Back then, all I heard was how great Xie Haiqing was, and yet, after working for several years, I’ve seen no sign of him buying a house."

"Besides, it’s better to have your own than to rely on your parents." Liao Kai was nearly saying, with their family’s strength as it was, why would they need to find a wealthy man?

Seeing her own brother being so bluntly sarcastic, Liao Xuan became angry, "Liao Kai, what do you mean by that?"

"Take it literally, I’m just stating the facts."

"Why, you can say your so-called facts, your so-called advice, and I can’t?"

"Previously, it was all about how promising Xie Haiqing was."

"You should reflect on your own situation before attempting to offer ’advice’ to others. Mind your own business."
