Chapter 194 Mixed Doubles
In the reception room.
After everyone sat down, Song Huizhen asked Mrs. Yu, "Why did you come with Ning Ning?"
Old Mrs. Yu took a sip of tea and gave a polite fake smile.
"We used to visit each other, but I've never seen anyone like him in your family. I've seen your granddaughter Ruirui."
Song Huizhen glanced at Fu Runing, trying to guess what was going on today.
But Yu Songyan peeled an orange for Fu Runing at the right time, which attracted her attention and caused the two to lose eye contact.
Song Huizhen could only smile and respond: "Ningning is my granddaughter-in-law. I just didn't take her out before, so you think she looks unfamiliar."
Old Mrs. Yu continued, "Since she's your granddaughter-in-law, why didn't you have a wedding?"
Song Huizhen was speechless.
In fact, what happened three years ago also happened suddenly. At that time, Xiao Jingting brought Fu Runing back to the Xiao family and said he wanted to marry her. The one who opposed it most strongly was Xiao Hongshen.
Xiao Hongshen whipped Xiao Jingting in the ancestral hall, but still failed to change his mind. Finally, the old man came forward and made the final decision on the marriage.
At that time, Fu Runing was more than a month pregnant.
Organizing a wedding and entertaining guests is not a quick task. However, more than a month later, before the wedding banquet could go ahead, it was discovered that the fetus had stopped growing, and the wedding banquet was subsequently delayed.
Originally, they got married with the intention of having a baby, but now that the child is gone, they are afraid that people will think that the Xiao family does not recognize the marriage.
So at that time, Song Huizhen asked for their opinions, whether they should keep it simple first and only invite relatives and elders of the Xiao family, even if they accepted this daughter-in-law first, and hold the wedding banquet later when they recovered.
Since she mentioned it, the couple followed the process.
But ever since they moved out of Xiyuan, the wedding banquet has been postponed again and again and has never been realized.
Fu Runing and Xiao Jingting didn't take it seriously because they were not in a good relationship at the time.
The fact that the old man and the old lady are not interested only means that they also have prejudices against this marriage.
There is no way to explain this.
In fact, Fu Runing didn't want to bring up this old matter. After all, she was in the wrong when she married into the Xiao family in the first place.
But her grandparents didn't agree.
Now that they have acknowledged her, no matter whether she is right or wrong, they are here to seek revenge.
The atmosphere remained tense.
Old Madam Yu took the initiative to speak up and break the silence. "I was just thinking, if I had met Ning Ning three years ago, we would have found our granddaughter three years earlier. Would we have to wait for Ning Ning to make such a fool of herself on the Shengzhou TV program before we saw her?"
When these words were spoken, the two elders of the Xiao family and Yue Zhong who was present were shocked.
Xiao Wenqin and Song Huizhen have always known that the Yu family had a lost little daughter. The couple searched for her for many years but couldn't find her, which was a pain in their hearts.
"You mean Ning Ning's mother is the daughter you lost all those years ago? Oh, what a coincidence."
Old Madam Yu said calmly, "That's right. I saw the photo of Ning Ning on TV at the time and thought she looked a lot like me. It's just that indescribable feeling. That's why our Song Yan asked around and it took him quite a while to find out."
Yu Songyan was called upon and he also had to play his role in a timely manner.
He echoed, "Yeah, if there wasn't the Shengzhou Night Talk show, where would we go to find my aunt's daughter in this vast sea of people?"
He looked at Song Huizhen and asked with a polite smile, "Grandma Xiao, do you know the program Shengzhou Night Talk? It's quite popular. They love to make up some gimmicky news to attract public attention. They provoke conflicts between men and women, create anxiety about elderly care, and criticize children who don't support their elderly parents. Most of this is fake. Really..."
Song Huizhen vaguely understood the meaning.
"I knew about this program, but it was later withdrawn."
Yu Songyan smiled, his tone a little regretful: "That's such a pity. We haven't even thanked the program crew in person yet, why are they withdrawing? Grandma Xiao, I heard your family has some connections at the TV station, can you introduce us to someone?"
Old Mrs. Yu started to play double duty. "Huizhen, doesn't your daughter-in-law own an entertainment company? She should have a lot of connections in this area."
Song Huizhen now knew who this was directed at.
Both sides were shrewd people, and they gradually figured out what was going on from their words.
Song Huizhen didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so she accepted it first.
"It's my fault, actually. I didn't address the impact right away, causing Ning Ning to be caught in such a mess for no reason. But thankfully, the matter was resolved, the TV station apologized, and the program was withdrawn."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yu fell silent.
Yu Bonan fired back, "Just pulling the show is the end of it? Those people made some dirty money, and with a perfunctory apology, the matter is over. But our deceased daughter is being slandered online, and Ning Ning is being wrongly accused."
After saying that, the old man taunted again: "I thought your Xiao family was so powerful in Shengzhou, but it seems that's all it is."
Xiao Wenqin was so shocked that he dared not say a word.
In fact, it was true. It would have been easy for them to cover up this matter. After all, the reason was that they did not care that much about their granddaughter-in-law at that time.
Afterwards, for the sake of family peace, I just moved on.
Of course, if Yu Bonan were to cause trouble again after such a long time, he would definitely not look for who produced or planned it in the first place. He would only question the two old men.
Old Madam Yu questioned, "Our Ningning married into your family. Are you treating her like a treasure? Does that mean that in your family, a granddaughter-in-law is no longer a member of the family?"
"If I had known your family was like this, I would never have agreed to your proposal. Fortunately, it's not too late to know now. Our Wanyin will definitely not marry into your family."
Yu Bonan followed suit, "And you, Xiao Wenqin, you only do fishing all day. Have you completely ignored the family affairs? You were so glorious when you were young, how come you have Alzheimer's now and can't make decisions at home?"
Old Madam Yu snorted coldly: “If you don’t know, you would think it’s their daughter-in-law who is now the head of the family.”
Xiao Wenqin and Song Huizhen remained silent, not daring to refute a single word.
Yu Songyan reached out and touched his nose, suppressing the upward curve of his lips.
It had been a long time since he had seen his grandparents play mixed doubles.
Cool.
I don’t know when was the last time I felt so good.
Song Huizhen said, "We were not good enough in the past, but we won't do that again. I promise that I will treat Ningning like my own granddaughter."
Old Madam Yu smiled contemptuously: "What are you dreaming of? If you get divorced, who will be your granddaughter? It's a good opportunity to escape from the sea of suffering and not be tortured by that fake mother-in-law."
Fu Runing felt embarrassed when she saw the two elders looking so frustrated.
She tugged at her grandmother's sleeve and took the initiative to act as a peacemaker.
"Grandma, my grandparents were very kind to me before. The incident happened suddenly and we didn't have time to deal with it. Wasn't it resolved afterwards?"
Hearing this, Yu Bonan slammed the table, pointed at Xiao Wenqin's nose, and cursed again: "Xiao Wenqin, don't you feel ashamed? Ning Ning, a victim, is still speaking for you two!"
Xiao Wenqin could only soften his tone and say, "Ningning is a good child."
Yu Bonan said coldly, "Do you need to tell me that?"
Just when there was a sign of temporarily stopping the war, Weng Yuqing came to Dongyuan.
Before Weng Yuqing arrived, he called out, "Mom, have the guests arrived?"
Hearing the noise, Song Huizhen winked at Yue Zhong.
Yue Zhong understood what he meant and quickly prepared to take Weng Yuqing away so that he would not come in and cause trouble.
But how could the two elders of the Yu family miss this opportunity?
Old Madam Yu kindly asked Fu Runing, "Ningning, is that your ex-mother-in-law?"
Fu Runing nodded, "It should be."
"Then I have to meet her. They say a mother-in-law is half a mother. I have to thank her for taking care of you for the past three years."
So Yue Zhong looked at his two elders, and Song Huizhen waved at him before stopping.
As soon as Weng Yuqing came in, she found that the two elders of the Yu family were sitting in the reception room, as well as Yu Songyan, whom she had just met at the banquet two days ago. She was about to say hello, but when she glanced again, she saw Fu Runing sitting next to Old Mrs. Yu.
Why is she here?
Weng Yuqing didn't understand the situation and simply looked away from Fu Runing.
Then he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Uncle and Aunt Yu from the Yu family. Why did they come so suddenly? I just saw Wanyin two days ago and invited her to come to our house more often."
Who knew that Old Lady Yu would say indifferently, "Our Wanyin wouldn't dare come to your house to play, and we're reluctant to let her marry into Shengzhou. After all, if she does marry into Shengzhou, she'll be forced to give birth every day, and if she can't, her mother-in-law will force her to drink Chinese medicine."
Weng Yuqing was stunned for a moment. He didn't say anything, so why did the old woman speak so harshly?
"Mrs. Yu, what are you talking about? If Wanyin were to marry into our family, I would definitely treat her like my own daughter. Don't let the rumors spread by some people lead you astray."
some people.
When saying this, Weng Yuqing deliberately glanced at Fu Runing. Of course, the "some people" he was referring to were Fu Runing.
Song Huizhen coughed loudly, reminding Weng Yuqing to be careful with his words.
When Old Lady Yu heard this, she laughed instead. She looked at Weng Yuqing in front of her with cold eyes.
"Mrs. Xiao, my granddaughter is not someone else. Could she be lying to me?"
As soon as the three words "Mrs. Xiao" were uttered, Weng Yuqing's face instantly turned bad.
After hearing what she said next, granddaughter...
Weng Yuqing's eyes suddenly widened. What granddaughter?
"granddaughter?"
Old Madam Yu glared at her coldly. "Yes, actually, we have to thank you, Shengzhou TV Station. If it weren't for that family search program we did earlier, we wouldn't have found Ning Ning so quickly. We just asked you to help us find the producer of that program so we can thank you in person."
Weng Yuqing suddenly wilted and looked at his parents-in-law sitting in the main seat with a guilty look on his face.
Xiao Wenqin simply looked away, not wanting to look at her.
Weng Yuqing said nervously, "I...I don't know anyone at Shengzhou TV. That program has been off the air for a long time."
In one sentence, he completely cleared himself of all charges.
Old Mrs. Yu had no intention of really settling the score. After all, this matter happened a while ago. It was enough to vent her anger and exert pressure.
"Since we're here today, we'll just tell you straight out that the matter between our granddaughter and your son is over. Let's keep the position of Xiao family's granddaughter-in-law for someone else."
"As for the humiliation our Ning Ning endured in your family, that was her own magnanimity. We should just forget about it and stop interacting with each other. After all, every time we don't interact, I'll think of the grievances our child suffered in your family."
These words carried great weight.
This is a severance of friendship.
Song Huizhen and Xiao Wenqin's faces were a little gloomy. They were thinking about how to save the situation, but before they could say anything, they heard Weng Yuqing say -
"Old lady, what you said is biased. I didn't do anything to her. She hasn't had any children in three years since she got married, and I didn't say anything. Isn't it still the same as before? I don't want her to do anything. I was afraid she would be bored after staying at home for a long time, so I found her a leisurely job in my company. The divorce was the decision of the young couple themselves, and I didn't interfere..."
Song Huizhen shouted, "Yuqing, stop talking."
How can people be so brainless? The current situation is just to lie down and let them scold you. Once these two old men have vented their anger, this will naturally pass. They also know what's going on.
How come there are still people who don't know the consequences and add fuel to the fire?
This old lady Yu was definitely not an easy person to deal with. She looked at Song Huizhen beside her with a kind tone but cold eyes.
"I met your previous daughter-in-law a few years ago. She was pleasing to the eye, gentle and generous, well-educated and decent. It's true that people are different."
Upon hearing this, Weng Yuqing's face turned pale.
What she hated most in these years was that others compared her with Weng Qing. There was even a time when she would get angry when she heard the word Weng Qing. Most people didn't dare to mention it for the sake of Xiao Hongshen, but she didn't expect that the old woman would mention it so mercilessly today.
In front of her parents-in-law.
After all, she is a member of the Xiao family. Is she just going to let outsiders ridicule her?
Song Huizhen sighed silently in her heart, thinking that he was indeed a person who would never amount to anything.
"Yuqing, you go back first." Song Huizhen had no choice but to let her leave.
Weng Yuqing didn't want to leave and wanted to say something angrily, but was scared back by a sharp look from her mother-in-law.
Afterwards, Weng Yuqing left the East Garden with an unhappy look on his face.
In the reception room, the drama also came to an end.
The two elders of the Yu family raised their chins, which was a gesture of victory in battle.
Seeing that the two men were almost done with their anger, Xiao Wenqin approached them and asked, "Do you want me to call my eldest grandson over to help you vent your anger?"
Yu Bonan said coldly: "No, it's unlucky. I don't want to see you. Don't make things difficult for our Ning Ning."
In fact, she had seen him before. Before she knew who he was, Mrs. Yu thought the young man was very handsome.
As soon as I knew that he was Ning Ning's ex-husband, I couldn't stand him no matter how I looked at him.
