Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time! - Chapter 272
Chapter 272: Brought It On Himself
“It’s really lively! Those who know would know that you are holding a banquet for my unborn younger sibling. Those who don’t know would think that it was you, first aunt, who got pregnant. I, the biological sister, actually didn’t know about this banquet.”
Yun Xi entered and began to mock and ridicule.
“Where did you come from? Damn girl, could it be that you’re here to cause trouble?”
The distant relative whom Liu Fang had invited did not know Yun Xi. When he saw someone at the door, he began to argue.
“I’m here to cause trouble, but who are you? Could it be that I can’t even return to my own home? How can there be such a reason in this world?”
Yun Xi looked at this shifty-eyed person and felt a burst of nausea in her heart. Birds of a feather flock together!
“Hey, it’s a misunderstanding. How can members of a family not recognize one another? Lil’ Zhi, this is my niece, the unborn child’s sister.”
Liu Fang pretended to be friendly and welcomed Yun Xi into the house. In front of outsiders, she pretended that the family got along well with each other.
“Xixi, your mother, and the others are all resting in the room, waiting to eat. If you don’t have anything else to do, go to the room and accompany them. Us being outside here is enough.”
Liu Fang was afraid that Yun Xi would cause any trouble, so she quickly rushed her into the room.
…
It was already past nine o’clock, and everyone had arrived one after another. The gentleman who was invited to record the gift money had also arrived. Everyone took out the money from their pockets and prepared to go to the gentleman.
“Everyone, wait a moment and listen to me first. Our family doesn’t live in this area now but has moved to the county. This is all thanks to everyone’s usual care. Our family only held this banquet because my mother was pregnant. Logically speaking, we should not have troubled everyone to come here to congratulate us. However, thinking that we had not had a good gathering with everyone since we left, my father and mother discussed for a long time and decided to take this opportunity to have a good gathering with everyone. We’ll simply treat everyone to a meal.”
Yun Xi stood in the middle of the courtyard and said a lot of things at once. Everyone stopped their actions and looked at Yun Xi in the middle of the courtyard.
“So we won’t trouble everyone with any gifts. We just want to treat everyone to a simple meal. Everyone can just sit at their seats and wait for the banquet to begin.”
Yun Xi’s words were like a ‘gentle blade’.
She did not directly reason with Yun Gang’s family. After all, it was very likely that both sides would suffer losses in the end, causing the impression of the people from the two families to become bad in front of the villagers. It was still not advisable to harm themselves to harm the enemy.
The current situation was that Yun Gang’s family had to bear the cost of hiring a chef and renting seats to host the banquet. At the same time, the reputation of treating everyone to a meal without having to fork out any gifts fell on Yun Shan’s family.
After all, Yun Gang was definitely unwilling to say that their family was actually the one who arranged the banquet for him to receive the gifts.
When Yun Xi saw the Yun Gang couple, whose expressions had become even uglier, Yun Xi was secretly pleased. Their current situation was all their own doing. Now, they could not say anything and had to suffer the consequences. They deserved it.
“Then I’ll have to trouble uncle and aunt with the matters outside. I’ll go back to my room to take care of mother.”
Yun Xi would also pretend to be the most filial of me and leave all the dirty and tiring work to Liu Fang.
Liu Fang quickly persuaded the bookkeeper to leave. Then she ran to the kitchen and instructed the cook to cook fewer dishes. After all, they could not get the gift money that they had discussed earlier. Now they could only spend less if they could.
“There are many people here. Something good must have happened at home, right?”
Another uninvited guest arrived at the gate of the old mansion. This person was none other than the burly man who had asked Yun Gang to return the delt.
“It seems that today’s banquet is quite sumptuous. I wonder if I can have a seat. Let me eat some with the brothers behind me!”
The burly man was still holding a thick wooden stick in his hand. There were several motorcycles parked outside the door.
