Chapter 93
Chapter 93: The Old Lady’s Birthday Feast, and the Son-in-law Brings a Chamber Pot?
“Mom, Dad, the birthday feast should be starting soon, let’s head over now.” Inside the villa at Tianxiang Garden, Zhou Lingxi said to her parents with a smile, feeling somewhat excited.
She had already contacted Jiang Che, who was on his way to the Zhou family. She was eager to give a hard slap in the face to those relatives who had mocked her!
The three of them left the villa chatting and laughing and got into Zhou Dewei’s Audi. Just as they were about to leave, they heard Xiao Fan shouting.
“Darling, wait for me!” Xiao Fan, carrying something unknown, hurried after them, looking somewhat excited.
“Dad, don’t bother with him, let’s go.” Zhou Lingxi frowned and urged Zhou Dewei to drive quickly.
Zhou Dewei didn’t dawdle, sharing the same disdain for Xiao Fan, the useless son-in-law, and saw no need to show him any courtesy.
He stepped on the gas and sped away.
Watching the Audi drive away, Xiao Fan sighed and had to take a taxi to follow them from a distance.
............
Zhou Family Courtyard.
Today the Zhou family was particularly lively, filled with laughter and chatter, with many from other families coming to wish the old lady a happy birthday.
When Zhou Lingxi and her parents arrived, the banquet was about to begin. She scanned the crowd but didn’t find Jiang Che, feeling a bit disappointed. Was he not coming today?
After the guests were seated, a butler beside the old lady coughed twice and announced loudly.
“Now begins the gift-giving session...”
“Lin family presents a pair of top-quality jade Ruyi...”
“Wang family presents a pair of jade bracelets...”
“Deng family presents a ‘Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains’ painting...”
............
“Zhou family’s son-in-law Xiao Fan presents a chamber pot...” The butler, reading the list, suddenly froze, baffled by the gift list in his hand. A chamber pot for the old lady’s grand birthday??
“Presenting a chamber pot, what the heck, I’m dying of laughter...”
After venting her emotions, Zhou Lingxi lifted her head from Jiang Che’s embrace, her face flushed with embarrassment.
Upon seeing Jiang Che, she had uncontrollably thrown herself into his arms, feeling embarrassed about it now. “Jiang Che... I...”
“You don’t need to explain, after all, I am your boyfriend.” Jiang Che tenderly wiped the tears from Zhou Lingxi’s face, took her soft hand, and walked up to Xiao Fan.
He slapped Xiao Fan hard, who didn’t resist, or rather, didn’t want to resist, and was sent flying.
He crashed onto a dining table a dozen meters away, breaking it apart, coughing violently on the ground.
The scene went silent, with all the guests staring at this unexpected Jiang family’s young master, not knowing what he intended to do.
“You’re Lingxi’s grandmother?” Jiang Che looked at the old lady sitting in the main seat, frowning slightly.
“Yes, I am. Who are you? Why are you causing trouble at my birthday banquet?” The old lady frowned at Jiang Che, not recognizing the name of the Jiang family, assuming this young man was just from a minor family.
“Can I hit her?” Instead of answering the old lady’s question, Jiang Che turned to Zhou Lingxi.
“This...” Zhou Lingxi was taken aback, not expecting Jiang Che to say such a thing. Hesitating, and perhaps motivated by something, she nodded firmly.
She didn’t have a good impression of the old lady, who had always treated her and her family poorly. If possible, she would have loved to slap the old woman herself!
“Uncle Fu, slap her!” After Zhou Lingxi’s response, Jiang Che smirked coldly and ordered Uncle Fu to take action.
Uncle Fu didn’t hesitate, walked over to the old lady, and with a slap, knocked several of her teeth out.
She whimpered in pain, tears rolling down her cheeks, asking unclearly. “Why are you hitting me?”
“Slapping you for being disrespectful in your old age!”
“Slapping you for being a bully!”
“Slapping you, this old woman, for being blind to marry Lingxi to such a useless thing like Xiao Fan!”
“Uncle Fu, what are you waiting for, keep slapping!”
“Wuwuwu... stop... I was wrong, I shouldn’t have forced Lingxi...” After several more slaps, the old lady started crying and begging for mercy. At her age, a few more slaps might kill her.
“Uncle Fu, stop.” Jiang Che snorted coldly, halting Uncle Fu’s actions, then turned his gaze to Zhou Lingxi’s relatives. “Anyone who bullied Lingxi, stand up now, don’t make me root you out one by one!”
“Otherwise, you won’t like the consequences!”
