Chapter 225 - Claiming Her Man!

Song Lily felt her cheeks aching from all the smiles she had maintained on her face because of that damn girl! Why couldn't she just die and spare their lives? 

Zhenyi had greeted everyone by now. Instead of sitting beside Grandma Mian, she took a seat next to Song Lily, her lovely and sweet mother-in-law. 

Of course, it was clear to everyone who knew the reality of Zhenyi and Song Lily's relationship that Zhenyi was deliberately making things difficult. 

"Lily, is this your elder daughter-in-law?" A woman who happened to be Lily's friend asked. She had heard rumors about Long Jie being married. She knew better than anyone how much it hurt to hear that the ideal son-in-law she had in her mind was married to someone else. 

That too to an unknown lady! 

The ladies were still not ready to believe that Long Jie was actually married. 

Before Song Lily could say anything, Grandma Mian spoke proudly, "Hmph! Can't you see my precious granddaughter-in-law sitting before you?" 

How... How could this be?!

The ladies stared at Zhenyi, their expressions aghast.

In their minds, they were still of the view that their daughters still had a chance with Long Jie despite the fact that he had once refused all the daughters of these power-hungry women. 

Zhenyi was rendered speechless at the audacity of these ladies! 

He was only her husband! Okay! Only hers! 

'Time to announce to the world, Zhenyi!' She said to herself and stood up, gaining the attention of everyone sitting in the living room. 

" I apologize to everyone who couldn't attend my and Jie's wedding ceremony. It was solely my fault as I insisted on having an intimate wedding," Zhenyi spoke with a certain elegance that Song Lily and the rest of the Long family members hadn't seen before. She was speaking in a gentle and slow tone. " But we will certainly hold a wedding banquet soon and you all are invited then." 

One must be thinking that Zhenyi was being thoughtful by inviting these ladies to her wedding banquet, but in reality, the shallow and possessive Zhenyi was marking her man. 

Zhenyi's statement attracted everyone's attention. They couldn't help but feel aghast! 

Long Jie was really taken! 

Set your eyes somewhere else! 

They all glanced at Zhenyi again. What was so special about this woman anyway? 

She was unusually beautiful, clad in a red dress. The dress looked really simple, but if one saw clearly they would find the refinement of the dress! 

It reached three inches above her ankle. Although she wore full sleeves to hide her fading scars, still the sleeves were quite stylish. 

The dress was showing off her curves and edges beautifully! 

Not to mention the killer cleavage on display! She had carried the dress so gracefully that it didn't look vulgar at all which would have looked on anyone else. 

In short, the dress was simply made for her body! 

Everyone would have to agree that Long Jie's wife was very beautiful! More beautiful than any girl in their social circle. 

However, her mismatched eyes were the only defect on her perfect face. 

"Why don't we start the ceremony?" A voice belonging to Zhao Meilin's mother-in-law said. She could sense what was going on in the ladies mind right now. 

And she knew Zhenyi's temper quite well too! 

Therefore, it was better to change the subject. 

This was how the ceremony started. It was mainly a ladies' function and men were not allowed. After doing a few rituals, the ceremony ended, and then came the time to give gifts to the baby and to be mother. 

Ada, who was watching the ceremony from a distance, came to Zhenyi and whispered," We haven't prepared a gift." 

"That's why the proletariat can't be bourgeoisie!" Zhenyi's reply rendered Ada speechless. 

So, Ada went back to where she was standing moments before like she hadn't got insulted by her new boss at all. 

"Zhenyi?" 

Zhenyi turned around to find her mother-in-law calling her. Song Lily was standing with Liu Shihinext to her. What a pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Zhenyi felt her eyes teary at such a scene! 

Liu Shishi was standing proudly and had a gift in her hand and by the looks of the box, it looked something quite expensive. It seemed she was here to watch Song Lily embarrassing Zhenyi, but only if she would get such a chance. 

"Zhenyi, meet Liu Shishi's cousin…" 

As Song Lily was about to introduce someone to Zhenyi, the latter's gaze directly aimed at the person standing beside Liu Shishi. Her gaze turned cold as recognition hit her. 

"...Chen Yuling." 

Chen Yuling was staring at Zhenyi's face and Zhenyi was staring at Chen Yuling, no one willing to break eye contact. 

"That's...Brother Jie's wife, sister." Liu Shishi added after a pause, resulting in Chen Yuling's severing their eye contact. 

Chen Yuling tightened her grip on the phone, nearly breaking it, however, still smiled at Zhenyi. Only she knew how badly she wanted to rip the smile off Zhenyi's face when she had uttered Long Jie's name earlier. 

She was the last one to come, but she had heard Zhenyi announcing her wedding banquet alone. Did she even ask Long Jie about it? 

She still didn't understand what Long Jie liked about her! 

She hated Zhenyi! She had hated her the moment she saw her for the first time insulting her in the club! She hated her, even more, when she got to know that this woman was married to Long Jie. 

"Miss Zhenyi!" Chen Yuling greeted Zhenyi politely. 

These two-faced aristocratic women! 

"Mrs. Long," Zhenyi uttered,  glancing at Chen Yuling, and didn't even bother to say it with a smile. 

"Excuse me?" Chen Yuling froze. 

"I would rather appreciate you to call me Mrs. Long instead," said Zhenyi, this time with a smile intact on her face. 

However, Chen Yuling swore she saw a mocking smirk on her face. 

"You!" Song Lily snapped. She couldn't watch Zhenyi insulting Chen Yuling in front of everyone. "How can you talk to Yuling like that? She is our guest and as the young madam of the Long family, isn't it your duty to treat our guests well?" 

Zhenyi had an urge to ask her when did she treat her like one!

"As the Young Madam of the Long family, isn't it proper for a guest to call me Mrs. Long?" Zhenyi raised her brows and questioned the three ladies. 

Chen Yuling took a deep breath trying to curb her anger. She glanced at furious Song Lily and motionless Liu Shishi and said," Then, I must call you Mrs. Long from now on as you urged." 

Chen Yuling was actually telling her that she was calling her Mrs. Long because Zhenyi was begging her to. 

It was also a way to infuriate her. She has heard from Liu Shishi that Zhenyi was quite a short-tempered woman. 

It was right that Zhenyi was a short-tempered person but at the same time, she was partly thick skinned too. She could rip off your tongue for calling her names at one time and other times, she could just close her eyes to insults thrown at her. 

Well...it depends upon the person who was calling her names. 

Right now, she ignored what Chen Yuling was meaning to say not because she was too thick-skinned that her words didn't affect her but because she wanted to enjoy Chen Yuling's end. 

After all, Chen Yuling had a debt to pay to Long Jie's wife. 

In the end, it was Chen Yuling who was so infuriated that she wanted to slap Zhenyi across her face. She has never seen a woman so haughty and arrogant like Xin Zhenyi. 

On the other hand, Song Lily was delighted. Everything was going according to her plan. Knowing that  Zhenyi's temper had been inherited from the witch of her mother, she laid a trap for Zhenyi, and unknowingly she fell in it too. 

People like Zhenyi and Chen Yuling gave the most importance to their pride. Zhenyi had intentionally hurt Chen Yuling's pride and there was no way the latter would let her leave unscathed. 

Song Lily knew quite well that Zhenyi was aware of Chen Yuling's feelings for Long Jie. Though she had been suppressing those feelings for a long time, Zhenyi's entry acted as a catalyst. Now Song Lily was going to use Chen Yuling's hatred for Zhenyi as a means to make her chase after Long Jie. 

So what if Chen Yuling's love for Long Jie couldn't make her chase after Long Jie, her hatred for Zhenyi would surely do it. 

With an evil smirk, Song Lily announced, " Zhenyi must apologize to Chen Yuling for her rude behavior. It's not how the lady of our family behaves with our esteemed guests!"
