MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 398 head-to-head

Chapter 398 Confrontation

Xing Zhao’s marriage is strange.

He obviously has a good family background and is capable enough. Even though he is wandering around here and there all day long, in fact, he also has an official position in the River Department, and the commander is his biological father, so he is like a fish in water. Very.

Du Jingyi also knew that many people must be secretly inquiring, but she also felt strange why cousin Zhao was unwilling to get engaged.

Seeing that they have given birth to four children, but he is single, it is no wonder that Mrs. Xing looks at her son every day as if she does not like something.

Xing Zhao was indifferent to Mrs.

 Therefore, in the past few years, people still came to inquire about things, but these years it has become increasingly rare.

"Mom, you are worried about your son. Look, is there another gray hair on your temples? If you continue to worry like this, if you don't take good care of yourself, I'm afraid that your father will look for beauty like flowers and jade outside. You're such a spoiled brat, why don't you get even more angry?"

After hearing what he said, Du Jingyi couldn't help but burst into laughter. Even his sister-in-law Liu, who was still a little nervous next to him, also laughed. The atmosphere suddenly became lively. This was his skill.

 Finally, Mrs. Xing waved her hand to him with a look of disdain and said.

“Let’s go, let’s go. I feel upset when I see you. It’s probably because I did too many evil things to you in my previous life, so I let you be reincarnated in this life to make me angry!”

"Where is it? It's obvious that my mother had a lot of virtues in her previous life. When God sees such a good person, he must give him a smart and filial son, so why not send him here?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Xing didn’t know whether she should cry or laugh.

While talking, the eldest aunt came over with people from the Su family. Today's visitors were Su Erlang's mother and the old lady of the Su family, so they were all familiar with each other. She saw that Mrs. Xing's eyebrows were not eyebrows, and her eyes were not eyes. He knew that he must have been "angry" by his son Xing Zhao.

 Immediately, Mrs. Su nodded and said to Xing Zhao.

“You, please stop being angry with your mother. You are so old, but you just don’t want to have a good family.”

Xing Zhao chuckled. He knew how to deal with this kind of rhetoric, and then said.

"That's not to blame Aunt Su. She didn't give birth to a daughter who was as beautiful as a flower. I fell in love with her as soon as I saw her. Instead, she gave birth to some boys. How can I be moved by this?"

After hearing this, everyone laughed.

"Look, I can't find a wife, and I blame all the blame on us. It seems that I have to coax those ladies and grandmothers a lot, right? Huh? Xing Zhao?"

“Don’t worry, Grandma Su. What I like most is coaxing you to grow old.”

After chatting and laughing, everyone went to the flower hall next to the waterside pavilion to have a meal. The flower hall here is the flower hall in the front yard. It is not the same place where the Gu family usually eats reunion dinner. It needs to be bigger and brighter, otherwise it will be... There is no room for so many people.

 The banquet noodles are mainly simple dishes, the portions are not large, but the taste is very good.

Aunt Su’s mother said after she was half full.

“Every time I come to your house as a guest, I can taste the dishes that cannot be eaten elsewhere. Your cook is very capable.”

Seeing this, Du Jingyi replied.

"Danruo has followed us around a lot, so he has some dishes from all over the place and blended them together. He has made some good ones. I hope Aunt Su likes them." "I like it, I like it!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Xing said jokingly next to her.

“I’m going to have my eldest grandson or granddaughter soon. How can I not like it? The eyes of the Su family’s sister-in-law and my eldest sister-in-law are both narrowed to a thin slit.”

Hearing this, the eldest aunt was also in a good mood and "arranged" Mrs. Xing with the people around her.

“Look, she talks about how sharp-tongued her son is every day. Isn’t she also the same person? And she talks about her son!”

With one sentence, everyone looked at Mrs. Xing teasingly and started telling a lot of jokes.

Today’s meal is a farewell, a memory, and a new life.

Hence, the laughter that came from time to time from everyone diluted some of the sadness in the Gu family. Everything must be moved forward!

The atmosphere among the female guests is quite good. After all, there are ladies from the Xing family, Su family, Wang family and other aristocratic families. Even if relatives from other branches like the Gu family want to make a fuss, they have no chance.

As for the male guests, there was no big disturbance. Gu Shaoyu was serious and often intimidating in the past few days, but today he is more respectful and polite.

Not to mention others, even the three old masters have already received three toasts from him, so all the unpleasantness in the past has gone with the wind.

 Bringing a wine cup to the seventh old man and his three sons, Gu Shaoyu said with a rare smile.

“My uncle Qitang has taken good care of me at home these years. I would like to give this cup to you, Shaoyu.”

Then he drank it all in one gulp. Seeing this, the seventh old man had no choice but to accompany him with a drink, quite like turning a fight into friendship.

The third son of the seventh family of the Gu family, Mr. Gu San is a good hand in business, so naturally he will not make the scene cold, so he said with a smile next to him.

"From now on, Shao Yu will have to worry more about the Gu family. Uncle Third Tang, I don't have much ability. I just like to do business and so on. So if there is something going on at home, don't worry, you must tell me. That’s right. Others may not be able to help, but you won’t be short of money.”

He may have good intentions, but the words sounded a bit harsh.

 Since when did the direct lineage of the Gu family have to rely on the support of his uncle, a seventh-brother and a third cousin, to survive?

 It’s really funny!

Luo Yuan, who was following Gu Shaoyu, even felt for a moment that his general might overturned the table and smashed the wine cup, so he also thought about whether he should find a position to avoid being innocently implicated.

Who knew he would hear the general’s answer the next moment.

“Then Shao Yu would like to thank Third Uncle.”

Luo Yuan pursed his lips slightly, and then concentrated all his thoughts.

On the contrary, it was Gu Shaoyu's attitude that made the seventh old man a little suspicious. Could it be that he had discovered something fishy and was deliberately putting on a show for them to show his kindness first, just to make them relax their vigilance?

So the more I thought about it, the more possible it became.

 Otherwise, there would be no movement after her sister-in-law had been in the coffin for so long. He didn’t quite believe that this was the general’s plan to regain the lost territory in Cezhou one after another!

So he looked at Gu Shaoyu coldly, wanting to see what medicine he was selling in his gourd?
