Chapter 677 Half Daughter
In the banquet hall on the second floor, a crystal chandelier that twinkles like angel tears hangs from the high ceiling.
Somewhere below, there was an air of awkwardness that made the smiles on people's faces seem much more fake.
At this time, Xie Ruxue met Li Chuyue and others again after learning that the old woman she had been venting her emotions and scolding was Ou Jinghuan's mother.
Just when Xie Ruxue thought that Ou Jinghuan's mother was not going to bother with her, Xu Zhishan on the side directly exposed Xie Ruxue's disguise.
When Xie Ruxue heard Xu Zhishan's words, she glared at her angrily.
Then, under the displeased looks of her mother and aunt, she lowered her head guiltily and uneasily.
Ye Yanzhi was so angry that she wanted to scold Xie Ruxue in public, but Ye Yingran quickly stopped the impulsive Ye Yanzhi.
Ye Yingran had no intention of explaining to Xu Zhishan who had just spoken. Instead, she looked at Xia Shumei and lowered her posture to plead for Xie Ruxue.
Hearing this, Xia Shumei looked up at Xie Ruxue, whose whole body was revealing a strong sense of fear. She then looked at Ye Yanzhi, who seemed to be about to hit someone.
She stared at the hidden emotional fluctuations of the two for a few seconds, pondered for a moment, and whispered softly:
"Everyone's perspective and personal experiences are different. People are ever-changing, and each stage has its own unique self.
There have been times in the past when, due to my own problems, I have hurt others deep down, either unintentionally or maliciously.
I am now constantly reflecting on myself, and I believe that Ms. Xie will also truly recognize her mistakes, reflect on them, and correct them.
Therefore, I will not be angry or hold a grudge against what Ms. Xie said to me before."
Because of her previous stubbornness and selfishness, Xia Shumei hurt the hearts of many people who loved her.
So she can especially understand that when a person is emotionally unstable, what they say and do is sometimes really out of control.
Even if you feel that you are not wrong at the moment, after a while you will find that you were too impulsive and stupid.
So, Xia Shumei didn't care whether Xie Ruxue had realized her mistake now or not. She didn't care about Xie Ruxue at all.
Therefore, as a woman with her own principles, she chose to forgive, but at the same time, she acted distant and indifferent towards Xie Ruxue.
Ye Yanzhi and Ye Yingran also heard that Xia Shumei was really willing to forgive some of the things Xie Ruxue had done before, but she obviously didn't like Xie Ruxue.
They soon realized that their previously thought-to-be-clever idea of asking Xie Ruxue to please Xia Shumei had become unnecessary due to Xie Ruxue's foolish behavior.
Their dissatisfaction with Xie Ruxue deepened once again, and even her biological mother Ye Yanzhi regretted giving birth to Xie Ruxue.
Hearing this, Xie Ruxue, feeling guilty, knew that her mother and aunt were disappointed and dissatisfied with her, and she secretly gritted her teeth.
She lowered her head again and again, crossed her hands, and nodded in response to Xia Shumei's words.
She seemed to be listening carefully to what Xia Shumei said with all her heart, but in fact, her eyes, hidden by her hair, were gradually filled with hatred.
Xie Ruxue felt that she was being humiliated in public, especially when she knew that Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan, whom she hated the most, were watching her make a fool of herself.
Although she didn't look at Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan, she felt that Li Chuyue and Xu Zhishan must be laughing at her.
Xu Zhishan was indeed trying to hold back her laughter and really wanted to laugh out loud, but since her aunt had said so, she just kept her mouth shut.
But Li Chuyue was not as malicious as Xie Ruxue thought. Like Xia Shumei, she always looked calm.
She was not as generous as Ou Jinghuan's mother, and she still remembered Xie Ruxue's provocative words very clearly.
She knew that Xie Ruxue could say those words so confidently because her mother and aunt must be supporting her from behind.
Therefore, when Xie Ruxue and others came over, Li Chuyue did not think of letting Xie Ruxue learn a lesson by complaining to Ye Yanzhi and Ye Yingran.
She thought Ou Jinghuan's mother should have thought of this as well, so she didn't intend to seriously determine whether Xie Ruxue was right or wrong.
At this time, Xie Ruxue did not really feel that she was wrong, just as they had guessed.
She nodded obediently, pretending to admit her mistake, while silently cursing in her heart:
"You damn old woman! You said you didn't care, but you were actually trying to tell my mother and aunt that I had done something wrong!
Knowing that I like Brother Jing Huan, he used such a distant name as "Miss Xie", which was clearly telling his mother that he didn't like me!
Humph! After tonight, even if you don't like me and like Li Chuyue instead, there's no way to change anything!
When I become the real mistress of the Ou family, I will put you, a lunatic, into a mental hospital!"
At this time, facing Xia Shumei's forgiveness, Xie Ruxue seemed to have realized her mistake, but in her heart she was thinking about how to retaliate.
On the side, Ye Yingran saw that the atmosphere was gradually becoming awkward. She smiled and said:
"Shumei, you're right! I think so too. Who hasn't made mistakes when they were young?
Ruxue has really liked Jinghuan since she was a child. Now that she knows that she was rude to Jinghuan's mother, you can see how regretful she must be!
And you are so generous in forgiving Ruxue. Yanzhi and I are especially grateful to you!"
Ye Yingran was halfway through her words when she turned her eyes towards Li Chuyue, having been full of curiosity about her, and asked:
"Oh right! Shumei, the girl standing next to you is also the daughter of one of your relatives?
She’s so beautiful! Like a celebrity, I’ve never seen her before!
As soon as Ye Yingran finished speaking, everyone around her looked at her. Some were panicked, while others were very calm.
Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue looked up suddenly. They didn't expect that Ye Yingran would take the initiative to ask about Li Chuyue.
They didn't know whether Ye Yingran had any suspicions, and they didn't know how Xia Shumei would answer, so they felt very uneasy.
The moment Li Chuyue saw Ye Yingran's eyes moving towards her, she knew that Ye Yingran was finally going to ask her something.
She had no intention of introducing herself. When she was praised, she only smiled slightly and looked at Xia Shumei who was asking the question.
The smile on Xu Zhishan's lips became even more obvious. She looked at her aunt expectantly, waiting for an answer that would piss off several people.
On the side, Ying Muyun, who had been sitting quietly, realized something was wrong when she heard Ye Yingran repeatedly say that the girl next to her liked Ou Jinghuan.
She crossed her arms, looking like she was enjoying the show, watching how her best friend would deal with her godson's bad love life.
At this moment, there was no other expression on Xia Shumei's face. She tilted her head and smiled, looking at Li Chuyue who was looking at her.
Then, she stretched out her hand to silently signal Li Chuyue to come forward, and then she took Li Chuyue's hand very intimately and hugged her closer.
Li Chuyue seemed to be very cooperative. He took a few steps forward obediently and stood beside Xia Shumei with a graceful manner.
Xu Zhishan also walked forward a few steps. She gently bumped Li Chuyue's shoulder, and said jokingly with a jealous tone:
"Chu Yue is not just my niece at all. She is now more precious to me than even my niece!"
Hearing this, Ye Yingran, Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue all looked at Xu Zhishan, and Ye Yanzhi and Xie Ruxue's hearts suddenly tightened.
Ye Yingran frowned even more, looking confused.
She looked at Li Chuyue, then at Xia Shumei, and then she made a bold guess, hesitated for a moment, and asked:
"Could it be... a daughter? Ke Shumei, when did you give birth to such a big daughter?
Or...are you married again? Is this your current husband's daughter?"
"Hahaha."
Upon hearing this, Xia Shumei did not show any displeasure at being guessed at, but instead burst into laughter.
Then, Xia Shumei raised her hand and gently touched Li Chuyue's hair, and introduced Ye Yingran and Ye Yanzhi in general:
“Hahaha, Chuyue is not my niece, nor my stepdaughter, but Jinghuan’s girlfriend.
Hahaha, but she is half my daughter now."
Xia Shumei was halfway through her words when she thought of Ye Yingran and Ye Yanzhi, who were now deliberately trying to push Xie Ruxue to her son Ou Jinghuan.
So, she smiled in a particularly kind manner, but with a hidden meaning in her words, she said:
"Also, don't say anything more about what you just said about Miss Xie liking Jing Huan. They are at most brother and sister.
My future daughter-in-law will misunderstand if she hears this. Jing Huan finally has a girl he likes. Don't say anything nonsense and drive my daughter-in-law away!"
