Su Jifengs dry smile revealed an inexplicable trace of embarra.s.sment.

Zhao Youlin cast a profound glance at Su Jifeng before she lamented, Its obvious that not only your father, but you dont have a lot of say in the family too, do you?

Su Jifeng was rendered speechless. He found himself wordless to refute her!

Well set aside other unimportant matters first. Now, lets get to the main point. The former master of the familys brief statements had successfully diverted the attention of the audience away from their irrelevant topics.

Jiang Wenfang gave a warning stare at Su Liqiang. Her stare was akin to saying that she would continue to deal with him about their unfinished business later.

How could Su Liqiang not receive the underlying meaning from his wifes stare? His expression grew increasingly depressive.

Im asking, what is your opinion about the way the young master Ye treats Xiao Qi just now?

Whats the deal? What else could it possibly be? Mother, dont tell me youve switched sides now, huh? Su Jifeng was enraged, as if a firecracker had exploded the moment Jiang Wenfang mentioned Ye Yan. He became very emotional.

Mother, let me tell you, dont be deceived by that kids innocent appearance. Xiao Qi is young, and she cant tell the difference between right and wrong. She could be deceived easily. And you, on the other hand, are an experienced elder who has seen many ups and downs in your life. Why cant you see right through that kid Ouch!

Before Su Jifeng could finish speaking, he was interrupted by someones hand suddenly reaching out to his thigh and pinching it.

Su Jifeng screamed in pain. He turned his head around and looked at the culprit who had attacked him. He gritted his teeth as he said, Why did you pinch me?

Zhao Youlin spread her hand and pointed in the direction opposite Su Jifeng, signaling him to watch himself.

Su Jifengs expression had darkened as he turned his head around angrily, only to be greeted by the sight of his mothers teasing face.

Su Jifengs body trembled, and he looked terrified. He was well aware of his mothers temperament. When his mother smiled this way, she was even scarier than when she threw a tantrum or scolded them in front of the crowd.

Darn it. Did he say anything unusual that enraged his mother? Why couldnt he remember any of it?!

Su Jifeng anxiously recalled which part he had messed up. Just then, Jiang Wenfang had already taken the lead and blurted out with a fake smile, Used to experience lifes ups and downs, huh? Are you saying that Im getting old?

Su Jifeng was stunned. It was only then did he know the reason why Jiang Wenfang was angry. Darn it! His mother despised it when people referred to her as old. How could he have made such a simple error?!

It was all because of Ye Yans fault! He was the source of his perplexity. As a result, he made sloppy errors in his speech. No way. He must keep his cool!

No. Its not like this. Mother, listen to my explanation. I dont mean to say that youre old. Look at your appearance, skin, and figure, I dare to say that if you go out like this on the street, people would think you were eighteen. They might even think youre my younger sister!

Meanwhile, Zhao Youlin thought to herself. One must not judge a book by its cover. Ive never thought that despite the fact that Su Jifeng appeared decisive and cool with a strong sense of killing aura, he behaves so timidly in front of his mother, like a mouse and a cat. How interesting it is.

Huh? Me looking like an eighteen-year-old young lady? If this is the case, the others would accuse me of being a monster! Kid, are you circling the wagons just to mock me?!

Su Jifeng looked speechless. He felt like he had been falsely accused. It did not matter regardless of whether he said she was old or praised that she was young. Mother, did G.o.d send you to torture me?

Zhao Youlin heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the mother-son interaction. At the very least, that guy no longer had the desire to avenge her for pinching him.

She was very concerned that if Su Jifeng continued to taunt Ye Yan, it would wash away the elders positive impression of Ye Yan, which he had worked hard to establish.

Su Jifeng, on the other hand, was the one who approached them for a.s.sistance. Going up against him in the face would be a bad idea.

Thinking of this, Zhao Youlin was confused. If not If not for the sake of Su He and the child inside her womb, she would not bother to be sandwiched and did an arduous but fruitless task.

As Zhao Youlin was complaining to herself, her hand on her thigh was abruptly grabbed by another hand. Zhao Youlin froze. She turned to look at the strangers hand, only to be met by Mu Tingfengs eyes, which were filled with forgiveness and understanding.

Her unsettled emotions were soothed. She took his hand in hers and laced her fingers over his.

Meanwhile, the loud mother-son pair failed to notice Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfengs interaction. At the end of her speech, Jiang Wenfang waved her hand at her son disdainfully, as if swatting away flies. Fine, fine. Shut up and take a seat over there. Dont say anything. The elders are talking to each other. Who are you, as a junior, to chip in on our conversation? Shut up!

Su Jifeng, who had been struck out all of a sudden, was rendered speechless.

Despite his reluctance, he was used to being reprimanded by others. As such, the eldest young master of the Su family, who feared no one except his mother, timidly sat beside Su Liqiang and dared not say anything.

Su Liqiang and Su Jifeng were on the same boat. Su Liqiang shot a pitiful glance at his son, yet he dared not show a hint of dissatisfaction toward his wifes decision.

When Jiang Wenfang saw that her husband and son had settled down, she heaved a sigh. She rested her gaze on the former master of the family for a brief moment before she cast another glance at Su Ruixin and Mu Xiaoyang, who had not spoken much.

Ruixin, Xiaoyang, both of you are part of our family. Concerning this issue, what are your thoughts? Relations.h.i.+ps were something that the former master despised. As a result, Jiang Wenfang handled the majority of the issues surrounding this.

While she could not place expectations on the former master, Jiang Wenfang could only place her hope on Su Ruixin and the rest of her group. They were the only people left to discuss the matter with her.

Su Ruixin finally found a place to say something. However, Jiang Wenfangs question was not so easily answered.

Su Ruixin hesitated for a long time before she heaved a sigh and said, Wenfang, you know that I prefer freestyle parenting. Likewise, we applied the same method to my sons relations.h.i.+p issue. Tingfeng is my only son. Youve witnessed the entire incident back then. Tingfengs grandfather was the one who made his first wedding arrangement. Even though it was not as ideal, the fact that his grandfathers interruption had instead caused him to become rebellious. As a result, he had missed out on a lot of opportunities. Tingfeng and Youlin had missed each other for years. After multiple times of separation, they finally got together again. Sometimes, I couldnt help but think that the couple would have been together long ago instead of going through so many unnecessary troubles if it wasnt for elders like us who had b.u.t.ted into their affairs and made decisions on their behalf.

Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were struck dumb. They had never thought that their issue could actually get Su Ruixins imagination to run wild to this extent.. They did not know if they should laugh or cry upon hearing her words.
