Chapter 4 About Silly Teammates

Never before had Sheng Weiqiao seen such a brazen person!

As soon as the bastard entered the house, he mocked her as a fierce woman in public. He used her dad as a shield and drove her away by his words. In Sheng Weiqiao's view, the hatred between them could even fill an ocean, if not the sky.

And now, how dare the daydreaming guy wanted to go with her and get some benefits from the Xuanyu Family, where the son of her aunt took charge?!!

Sheng Weiqiao suspected that the woman seducing her father was probably not a vixen spirit, because only the demon of the rhinoceros and the elephant could give birth to such a thick-skinned person!

"Miss Sheng, if he wants to follow you to the Xuanyu Family, why not just let him go?" said Lvjin. As her anger was about to break out, Lvjin added in her ear, "How crafty the old Madam of Xuanyu Family is. After Sheng Shuihe arrives, there must be various ways to play a trick on him!"

Eyes brightened, she glanced at Sheng Shuihe with a smile face, thinking that, "Just laugh now. Let's wait and see whether you can smile after a while."

After a long while, they arrived at the backroom of the Xuanyu Family. Before something was done to Sheng Shuihe, Sheng Weiqiao was stunned, "Grandmother? Big aunt? Second aunt? Aunt Xuanyu? Why are you all here?"

“To deal with the bast..." Mrs. Zhan, the old madam of the Feng Family, who was dim-sighted from old age, regarded the young man behind her granddaughter as a servant, said half of the words before her eldest daughter's interruption. "What a pity! If we are told that there is such a good boy earlier, then he can be brought to the family earlier. You brothers and sisters can grow up together in a close relationship. Won't that be nice? That is better than hiding him secretly as if your mother were a tigress. There must be a lot of unnecessary sufferings on him in these years!"

Before Sheng Weiqiao spoke, Sheng Shuihe walked to the front with a smile from behind her. After giving a graceful salute, he replied with a sonorous voice, “You must be our aunt! I just heard from my sister that aunt was elegant, gentle and kind. Seeing is believing. You deserve the praise."

Then followed his self-introduction, "My first name is Shuihe. You can also refer to me as Hengshu. I am the son of the first boy of Sheng Family. Today, after returning to my origin, I come here with my sister to pay respects to my beloved elders."

Their shocked faces turned to Sheng Weiqiao, seeming to ask that, "Why did you bring him?!!"

Sheng Weiqiao: …!

However, Sheng Shuihe did not intend to stop. He smiled, "I come here without an invitation, so there is no time for me to prepare gifts. I beg your pardon! As for gifts of our first meeting by you, the beloved elders, I feel too embarrassed to take them."

... That was a reminder of giving gifts at their first meeting!

Mrs. Zhan hated the bastard who made her daughter and granddaughter feel worse, so she didn't want to give him any benefit. However, with the eyes fixed on her, she didn't want to leave a stingy impression on others. With hints from Madam Feng, she picked a jade pendant, and said unwillingly, "Take it!"

Since she took the lead, it’s natural for two aunts of Sheng Weiqiao, Madam Le and Mrs. Wu, to follow.

However, members of the Feng Family did not expect Sheng Shuihe's attendance today, so there was no gift prepared before. What they had were a lot of accessories, unsuitable for men.

Wordlessly, they had no choice but to do what Mrs. Zhan had done, taking off their jade pendants. Receiving one, he would express his thanks once. With the good-looking appearance and the honey tongue, added by a smiling face, the younger Mrs. Wu replied to him with a smile subconsciously when it was her turn. A glare was given to her by her mother-in-law before she realized something wrong. She coughed a few times to stop the smile and restore the original expression.

Sheng Weiqiao couldn’t bear his behavior anymore. She stamped her feet angrily and was going to take her revenge. After stuffing the last piece of jade into his sleeve, he held his fist as a salute to her, just before the attack began. He said with a smile, "I heard that aunts invited you here to pick up some materials for clothing. I feel unworthy of those gifts I have received, so I dare not receive more about the materials. Neither do I dare to disrupt your harmonious time with aunts. I will hang out in the garden with the cousin. Later, I will come back to pick you up."

Xuanyu she, the only son of Madam Feng of the Xuanyu Family, was pulled by him to go out. He was now the one in charge of the whole family. Hearing what he said, he thought him both funny and annoying. He was not Sheng Weiqiao who could disgrace him in public, thus being pulled out unwillingly.

After they left, Sheng Weiqiao and her relatives were shocked with eyes wide open for a long time, and then they said with one voice, "What an arrogant and crazy guy!"

"It's nonsense to comment on him now," Mrs. Zhan said angrily, "Just now, all of you greeted with smiles on your faces..."

Mrs. Wu felt guilty when she heard that. After a pause, Mrs. Zhan continued, "Is it meaningful to curse now?"

"Mom, can you calm down?" Madam Feng of the Xuanyu Family said with a sigh. She beckoned her niece to sit beside her and sent people outside to watch Sheng Shuihe, for fear of his eavesdropping. Then she said, "He was brought here by Weiqiao, shouldn't we save her face?"

Sheng Weiqiao said with a blood-vomiting feeling, "Auntie, that is to save my face? The reason why I brought him here is to trick him!"

“What's the ending?”

There was no harm done to Sheng Shuihe. Instead, he harvested many jade pendants!

Sheng Weiqiao felt like knocking her head against the wall at the moment‒Was the bastard destined to defeat and disappoint her?

Since the "jerk" entered the door, Sheng Weiqiao had been enduring again and again. She cannot feel more wronged!

Still, one lucky thing was that Mrs. Zhan knew her and held her in arms, murmuring, "My poor baby."

"Well, grandmother, why are you and my three aunts all here?" said Sheng Weiqiao. She was the one easy to be entertained for close relatives. Her anger disappeared after Mrs. Zhan's sweet words and intimate behavior. Then she asked, "Did you come to select materials for clothing like me?"

"What situation it is now! We have no mood to select the materials," said Mrs. Zhan. She sighed and said helplessly, "We came here for the sake of your poor mother. After going back home, she kept herself in the room for two days before showing up. We’re really worried about her. If she was asked about the future plans, she had no idea. If our ideas were provided for her, she would take none of them. When we talked much, she would consider us meddlesome. What ungrateful words! Today is the day when the bastard entered your family. I ask your aunt to make an excuse to call you over and know more about the situation. Then we can discuss together so that your mother and you will not suffer from that."

There was a reason why Sheng Weiqiao was not called directly to the Feng Family: Madam Feng had been back in her parents’ home before Sheng Shuihe came. If Sheng Weiqiao was called there, even in the name of Madam Feng instead of the Feng Family, people would joke that Mrs. Sheng was reluctant to leave, but she pretended to pack her luggage. That was just a pretense.

But Madam Feng was different. It was reasonable for Madam Feng of the Xuanyu Family to take care of her niece and care about her sister.

That was a good plan at first. However, who knew that Sheng Shuihe would come along with her!

They had planned to pretend that everything went well.

Now, even Mrs. Zhan, the old madam, came to the Xuanyu Family to inquire about the thing. The pretense failed.

Even blind people could see that their hair was on fire!

After listening to that, the mood of Sheng Weiqiao was beyond description—the other people also looked not good. Madam Feng of the Xuanyu Family adjusted her emotions and said, “Tell us what happened, Weiqiao.”

"The case is... " Sheng Weiqiao pouted with anger and talked about the basic process. "... I had planned to get him out of the carriage. The servant girl reminded that it was a good chance to teach him a lesson with aunts' help. Thus, I allowed him to come together. Who could know that you misunderstood what I meant and gave him some benefits as he wished!"

Madam Feng of the Xuanyu Family pressed her lips. She couldn't bear anymore, saying with a sneer, "As one sentence of a poetry goes, the silkworm's silk is exhausted only when its life is spent. You two are happy when your silly life is spent!"
