The Problem with Marrying Rich: Out of the Way, Ex - Chapter 831

Chapter 831: He Was Rude to His Mother-In-Law

Han Xue froze in shock and her face looked pale under the lamplight. She wanted to walk over to him but he went straight upstairs before she could even move.

Han Qing frowned and her brows knitted tightly together.

“Xiao Xue, does he usually act this way?” she asked, displeasure dripping from her voice. Ye Hao didn’t used to treat her in such a rude manner. His face was so dark that he made it seem like everyone owed him a living.

Han Xue didn’t respond to her mother’s question but instead, she went to the living room and picked up her son, Ye Chenyu who was playing with his toys there.

Ye Hao had also come downstairs by the time she emerged with her son, and he was carrying his daughter in his arms.

They looked at each other for a brief moment before Ye Hao turned away and coldly said, “Let’s eat.”

Yes, let’s eat. These were the words he said most often to her ever since she moved into the castle.

In fact, these were the only words he ever said to her.

Han Xue felt like her heart grow as cold as ice. She struggled to hold her tears back and pasted a smile on her face.

The chefs had whipped up a luxurious spread in the dining hall. They had spent a lot of effort to cook 15 dishes that looked and smelled equally delicious.

Ye Hao sat Xi Xi down, then he sat beside his daughter and scooped a bowl of rice for his daughter.

“Dear, let me know what you’d like to eat and I’ll take some for you,” Ye Hao said. His stormy expression was gone and he smiled softly at his daughter. Nowadays, his smiles were only reserved for his daughter.

Xi Xi pointed at the plate of boiled shrimp nearby.

“Dad, I want to eat shrimp,” she said sweetly and her voice seemed to echo loudly in the dining hall.

Ye Hao used his chopsticks to pick up several shrimps, then put on a pair of disposable gloves and helped his daughter peel shrimps, one at a time. He peeled several shrimps in quick succession and placed them all in his daughter’s bowl. His smile widened as he watched his daughter gobble down the food hungrily. He didn’t notice that Ye Chenyu had been staring wide-eyed at their interaction and watched as his father peeled shrimps for his sister but he wasn’t given a single shrimp.

Han Qing and Han Xue took this all in. Han Xue smiled bitterly. This scene was a familiar scene around the house but she couldn’t do anything about it.

Han Qing could not longer tamp down her anger and slammed her chopsticks against the table with a loud bang. Then, she looked at Ye Hao, her eyes blazing with anger.

“Ye Hao…” she said angrily.

Ye Hao turned to look at Han Qing and his eyes were cold, as though she was a complete stranger to him.

“Aunty Han, we’re having dinner, so could you please not shout?” Ye Hao said coldly and there was a warning in his voice.

Han Qing flushed bright red and the way he addressed her made her extremely uncomfortable. She was his mother-in-law, so he should have called her ‘mom’.

Han Qing was boiling with rage when she saw how rude her son-in-law was and no longer had any appetite to continue eating.

“Ye Hao, don’t go too far,” she said angrily. She could let the fact that he didn’t greet her when he entered the house slide ,but how could he completely ignore her and Xiao Yu and only focus all his attention on that little brat who was He Xiyan’s daughter?

Ye Hao frowned and annoyance flashed past his eyes.

“Aunty Han, this is my house so please know your place.”
