Two-Faced Husband, Have Some Decency!

Chapter 458: There Was No Pressure To Express Distaste For Another’s Child

Even those who used to be close to Grandmother Chang had stopped contacting her.

Besides, she was almost grounded at home by her own son and was not allowed to go anywhere!

”That Qi family, what is it then if it’s not bully?” said Liu Xiangwen as she felt a growing sense of grievance. ”Before this, they forced us to transfer Jianan to another school because he had a fall out with Qi Youxuan. It was merely a brawl among the children. Even blood-related siblings have fights with one another. Children never hold grudges. They always get along again soon after their fights. Yet the Qi family refused to let such a small conflict off…”

Chang Zhiyuan had truly lost his patience. It was indeed merely a small conflict among children. So, was it not annoying to bring it up repetitively?

”What do you want to say? You haven’t answered my earlier question. Why are you going over and over again on the past matter?” Chang Zhiyuan glared at Chang Zhixing who was standing next to Liu Xiangwen. He felt so mad that he had disregarded his own identity to discipline his sister-in-law on behalf of his younger brother. ”Have you forgotten the pain where gain follows? Who came back from school the other day, crying so badly that she couldn’t even speak clearly? How long has it been since? Have you forgotten your lesson and are trying to cause more trouble now?”

Liu Xiangwen’s face reddened as Chang Zhiyuan mocked her.

Chang Zhiyuan was disheartened. No wonder Ruan Danchen had refused to be recognized as a part of the Chang family!

Who would want to return to such a troublesome family?

Chang Zhiyuan recalled how harmonious the Ruan family was. Then, he cast a glance across his own and felt his strength leaving him at the comparison.

”As for the question I asked earlier, forget it if you don’t want to answer me. Just stop beating around the bush!” said Chang Zhiyuan in exasperation.

”I only brought up the Qi family’s strangeness in this incident.” Liu Xiangwen was pained by Chang Zhiyuan’s words. ”My friend saw you at the wedding today and called me out of curiosity. You were seen sitting with the Ruan family at the head table. Didn’t… Didn’t the Qi family leave us out of the wedding? How did you even get in and be placed at such good seating?”

Liu Xiangwen’s feelings were very contradictory. On one hand, she was very angry at the Qi family for ’bullying’ them. She perceived the Qi family to be so petty and absurd that she could not hold back her hatred for them.

On the other hand, she was very jealous to find out that Chang Zhiyuan had attended the Qi family’s wedding whereas she was not invited. She yearned to attend the wedding because it was after all an honor to be associated with the Qi family.

The contradiction between hatred and wanting to be on friendly terms with the Qi family was indeed indescribable.

Then, Liu Xiangwen’s expression quickly changed into that of suspicion as she looked at Chang Zhiyuan. ”Brother Zhiyuan, could it be possible that the Qi family did send us an invitation but you kept it away from us and attended the wedding secretly?”

Immediately after her question, Grandmother Chang glared furiously at Chang Zhiyuan as though believing in Liu Xiangwen’s accusation.

In fact, Grandmother Chang agreed that Liu Xiangwen’s suspicion was rather plausible.

Chang Zhiyuan scorned in disdain. He was so enraged that he felt his viscera1crunching up in pain, especially when he noticed that Grandmother Chang had been taken in by the accusation.

”Will you believe me if I tell you that I was invited by the Qi family when I happened to pass by the entrance of Dynasty?” Chang Zhiyuan sneered.

Of course, they would not.

”Don’t treat us like idiots!” Liu Xiangwen spat back at him.

”Ha!” Chang Zhiyuan let out a ridiculing laugh. He would definitely not divulge the truth to his family. Earlier that day at the wedding, he had already made up his mind to protect Ruan Danchen, his niece, at all costs!

The hostility and resentment toward Ruan Danchen that he caught in Chang Jingqiu’s eyes put him on his guard. Liu Xiangwen’s meddling could perhaps lead Chang Jingqiu to begin to suspect Ruan Danchen’s identity. Chang Zhiyuan was afraid that when pushed too far, Chang Jingqiu might do something extreme to hurt Ruan Danchen in order to keep her own identity and status.

That was also a reason why he had agreed to not give away Ruan Danchen’s identity to the Chang family.
