Chapter 450: Learning that my daughter was wronged
Hao Mengjiao and Jiang Haoming sat down and talked. They were quite satisfied with Li Haiyan's graceful and elegant behavior.
Especially her parents, both of whom are retired cadres from state-owned units. They have broad horizons and they have a lot of common topics to talk about.
But for some reason, Hao Mengjiao always felt that the other party was too good to be real. Except for being not as rich as her family, he seemed better than her family in every way.
Moreover, Li's parents' words revealed a sense of superiority, thinking that Jiang Yaozu was marrying above his station. Her daughter was well-educated and well-mannered. If she were in ancient times, she would have entered the palace to become a queen.
Although Hao Mengjiao felt that the other party was a little exaggerated, she also felt that which parent didn't think their own child was good? Thinking this way, it seemed normal.
Old Master Jiang sat aside, just looking at the two families with a smile, without saying a word.
He didn't know why, but he always felt uncomfortable looking at the girl of this family. He thought there was something wrong with the girl's eyes, but he couldn't put his finger on what was wrong. After all, she was well-spoken and had the air of a lady from a noble family.
And she looks pretty good. Although not as pretty as my own granddaughter, she is also pretty.
Just then, the housekeeper came over and said respectfully, "Madam, dinner is ready."
When Hao Mengjiao heard that it was time to eat, she said to Jiang Haoming, "Go next door and call your uncle Xi's family over, and get to know Haiyan and the others."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Jiang Yaozu stood up and prepared to go over to call for help.
When Li Haiyan heard that he was going to call the neighbors over for dinner, and that he had to go and call them personally, she immediately became unhappy.
She grabbed him and said with a smile, "Today is a meeting between our two families, so why don't we invite outsiders?"
"Uncle Xi and his family are not outsiders. I'll go over there for a moment and be back soon." Jiang Yaozu didn't understand her intention. He smiled and said, and was about to walk out.
Mother Li's face darkened immediately, and she said in a tone that brooked no resistance: "Yaozu, please stay!"
When the Jiang family saw it, they were stunned.
"Mom Haiyan, what happened?" Hao Mengjiao asked puzzledly.
Mother Li endured it, took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and smiled, "I just feel that today is a dinner for our two families, and it's not good to have outsiders here. And when I just came here, I met the neighbor's family. I think that family has some ulterior motives. The neighbor's girl is probably attracted to our Yaozu."
Hao Mengjiao was surprised and asked, "How is that possible?"
"How is it impossible? Don't you know? She was dressed up beautifully, and when she saw us get off the car, she pretended to be the host and came to greet us. Not only did she greet us, but she also wore the shoes that Yaozu gave her. Doesn't she want to embarrass our Haiyan?" Li's mother said angrily.
"That's right, he's just a neighbor, but he has the nerve to ask our Yaozu to buy such expensive shoes. I heard that the shoes cost 2 to 3000 yuan, which is several months' salary for an ordinary person. It's better for us not to have contact with such a vain neighbor." said Father Li.
Jiang Yaozu frowned and asked, "Did you just meet Rou'er and her parents?"
Li Haiyan became unhappy when she heard Jiang Yaozu call Xirou so intimately.
"Yaozu, I know you are simple and nice to everyone, but I don't like the family next door at first sight. I don't think your neighbor's sister has good intentions towards you." Li Haiyan said.
"That's right. I can see that. You know we are your guests, but you still dress up beautifully to act as hosts. I know what you are thinking. You just want to ruin your good marriage." Mother Li said sarcastically.
When Hao Mengjiao heard the mother and daughter talking about her darling like this, her face immediately fell.
"So what did you say to her?" Hao Mengjiao said in a bad tone.
Mother Li thought that Hao Mengjiao was angry with Xi Rou. After all, what mother would like to ruin her son's marriage? Moreover, their daughter was so good. The Jiang family would never find such a good daughter-in-law.
"What else can I say? Just tell her to put away her little thoughts, stay away from my son-in-law, and stop daydreaming about being a mistress." Li's mother said disdainfully, "She just relies on her beauty and wants to climb up the social ladder. She doesn't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
"That's right. If we invite someone like this over, I won't eat." Father Li showed his attitude.
When Mr. Jiang heard the Li family say this about his beloved granddaughter, he immediately flew into a rage: "Well, if you don't want to invite me, I'll go. It's up to you to eat or not!"
After saying that, Mr. Jiang walked out.
Hao Mengjiao was also very angry. How dare they treat their daughter like this? Woohoo, my daughter is suffering! This family looked good, but I didn't expect that they were such people behind the scenes.
The faces of the other members of the Jiang family also darkened. They just stood there and no longer invited the Li family to eat.
Mother Li didn't expect that Mr. Jiang, who seemed easy to get along with, would actually get so angry. She stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Li Haiyan saw that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Forget it, forget it, we will be neighbors from now on, there is no need to make the relationship too awkward!"
She really wanted to ease the atmosphere, thinking that if she said that, the Jiang family would go down the stairs and the matter would be laughed off.
But the Jiang family obviously did not appreciate her kindness. They stood there with gloomy faces.
After a while, Mr. Jiang led Xirou and her family in. Xirou stood beside Mr. Jiang, supporting him carefully.
When Li Haiyan saw Xirou coming in, her face turned ugly, and she was even a little unhappy: "Xirou, you have received higher education at least. Our family is here as a guest, what's wrong with your family? And you're here to eat for free?"
"That's right. Yaozu is kind and treats his neighbors as his own family. But you should also be more sensible. Don't you see what day it is today? You just come over when someone calls you. Haven't you ever eaten good food? We'd better have less contact with people like this in the future." Li's mother said sarcastically.
Mr. Jiang was so angry that his beard stood up straight. He was about to lose his temper when Xirou held him back.
She smiled and looked at Jiang Yaozu, and asked, "Brother, do we look alike?"
When Li Haiyan heard this, she immediately lost her temper: "Xirou, don't go too far. Today is the day Yaozu and I meet their parents. We are going to live together in the future. What do you mean by this?"
Jiang Yaozu really didn't expect that the Li family, who looked like an intellectual family with good manners, would become so angry when encountering people or things that were unfavorable to them.
He really didn't want to get entangled with such a person, and said, "I don't want to see you again, Miss Li. Thank you for your kindness to our family, but we Jiang family are not blessed to enjoy it. Let's stop here today and don't meet again in the future."
Li Haiyan was stunned and looked at Jiang Yaozu in disbelief.
