I'm back in 1990

Chapter 1186: Arrogant

On Saturday noon, several of Huang's children arrived at the Huang family's old house, as they always do.

Zeng Lijuan personally led two nannies to work in the kitchen, while Lao Huang stayed in the living room with his granddaughter Bayue. The little girl was pestering him to tell her a story.

Huang Ruiying and Mi Guo sat chatting in the courtyard, while Huang Ruidan ran around them, never still for a moment.

Yu Xiang came in from outside at this moment. She had some things to take care of in the morning, so she was late.

"Mom, you're back!" Huang Ruiying quickly greeted her mother upon seeing her.

"Third Aunt!" Migo also stood up.

"Third Aunt!" Huang Ruidan skipped and hopped to Yu Xiang.

After Yu Xiang responded, she patted Huang Ruidan's head and asked, "Where's your mother?"

"It's inside," Huang Ruidan said, pointing casually into the room.

"Go have some fun!" Yu Xiang then went inside.

The man and his second brother-in-law were drinking tea in the tea room, the old man was telling a story to the little girl, and Cheng Jing was sitting alone in the corner, lost in thought.

"Dad, Mom!"

Yu Xiang greeted her parents-in-law one by one before sitting down next to Cheng Jing.

She asked with concern, "Second sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

Cheng Jing pursed her lips first, and then said, "Ji Feng's mother came and met with Mi Guo. Guess what? She didn't even give her a gift."

"Huh?" Yu Xiang was taken aback. "Doesn't that seem a bit inappropriate? After all, it's our first meeting; we can't neglect proper etiquette!"

Cheng Jing said angrily, "That's exactly right. Do you think our family is after a few red envelopes from her? What we care about is her attitude towards our Miguo. But she didn't give us anything."

Yu Xiang frowned: "What exactly does Xiao Ji's family do? How can his mother be like this?"

"She owns a factory that makes clothing accessories, like buttons and zippers. I heard her annual revenue is around 100 million, but that's not the point. What I really want to know is, why does she treat our Miguo like this?" Cheng Jing seemed very angry.

"If that's the case, it seems the other party doesn't know about our family's situation?" Yu Xiang asked.

Cheng Jing nodded: "Don't you know Mi Guo? She never likes to show off, so she hasn't told Xiao Ji about her family situation."

As she spoke, Cheng Jing felt increasingly aggrieved: "I never expected to be looked down upon."

Yu Xiang quickly comforted her, "Second Sister-in-law, don't panic. Tell me what happened."

Cheng Jing then told Yu Xiang everything that happened after Mi Guo returned home, such as how Chen Jinhua questioned Mi Guo about her family situation, and how Chen Jinhua didn't even offer a red envelope as a gift when she left, clearly indicating that she didn't like Mi Guo.

"That night, Erhe and I talked to Miguo. I made it very clear to her that I wasn't saying she couldn't continue seeing Xiaoji, but I was definitely unhappy with Xiaoji's mother's attitude. I raised Miguo all these years, not so she could suffer in someone else's house in the future." As she said this, Cheng Jing's eyes reddened.

After hearing this, Yu Xiang was also very angry: "How could Xiao Ji's mother be like this? Why is she meddling in children's love affairs? I've never seen anyone like this before."

Cheng Jing grew angrier the more she thought about it: "What's wrong with our Miguo? Whether it's her looks, education, or character, what's wrong with her?"

Yu Xiang comforted her, "Second sister-in-law, calm down."

Book lovers are all in the discussion area, chatting about the charm of urban novels.

After calming down, Cheng Jing continued to say to Yu Xiang, "I'm angry that Mi Guo was wronged. You didn't see how Mi Guo looked that day. When I found out why, I felt really bad. Mi Guo's father passed away early, and I raised her with great difficulty. I'm not going to let her be bullied."

Yu Xiang nodded in agreement, then asked, "What about Xiao Ji? What's his attitude?"

Mentioning Ji Feng, Cheng Jing's expression softened slightly: "Ji Feng is a good kid. He has always had Mi Guo in his heart, and he has argued with his mother several times. Moreover, he has made it clear that he will never break up with Mi Guo."

Hearing this, Yu Xiang said with satisfaction, "That's not bad. As long as Xiao Ji can make up his mind, there won't be any major problems. The worst thing is when the boy is indecisive; that's when things get really stressful."

Cheng Jing, however, still had some concerns: "That's true, but after all, she's his biological mother. I'm afraid we won't be able to persuade her. So I told Mi Guo not to rush into a decision, to see how Xiao Ji reacts first, and to see if his mother will change her mind. The main thing is that Mi Guo is determined to be with Xiao Ji. Otherwise, I would have already..."

After considering it for a moment, Yu Xiang made a suggestion: "I think it would be better to find someone to reveal some information about our family to Xiao Ji's mother, so that she knows that our Mi Guo is not from a humble family."

Cheng Jing shook her head: "I've talked to Mi Guo about this, but she's unwilling. She doesn't want to use her family's wealth to pressure people. She's my daughter, so I naturally know her temperament and personality, and I can only let her have her way."

Yu Xiang smiled and praised from the bottom of her heart, "That's definitely Mi Guo's personality. This child is really good."

Cheng Jing, however, seemed troubled: "That's why I'm worried!"

"Second sister-in-law, don't worry about this. I know Miguo; she's a sensible child. And Xiao Ji is also a very independent person. As long as he doesn't let Miguo down, there won't be any problems. Anyway, Miguo has a house and everything. They can just get a marriage certificate and live a good life together in the future." Yu Xiang felt that this was no big deal.

"If all else fails, this is the only way." Cheng Jing forced a smile.

Yu Xiang glanced at the tea room and then asked, "What was Second Brother's attitude?"

"Erhe! He's quite open-minded. He even advised me not to interfere in Miguo and Xiaoji's affairs. But he also said that if Xiaoji's mother continues to have this attitude, he definitely won't allow it either."

Yu Xiang laughed and said, "That's fine then. If it really comes to that, we might as well get the two children married. Even without his family, they can still get married in a grand and respectable way. If it really comes to that, it will be Xiao Ji's parents who regret it in the future."

Just then, Huang Ruidan ran over: "Mom, Auntie, dinner's ready!"

"Coming, coming," Cheng Jing responded, then stood up and walked towards the restaurant with Yu Xiang.

Inside the tea room, brothers Huang Xiaochuan and Huang Erhe sat facing each other, drinking tea.

Huang Xiaochuan took a sip of tea, then casually asked, "I heard there's been some trouble at Xiao Ji's family's place?"

Huang Erhe shook his head with a wry smile, but said nothing.

Huang Xiaochuan continued, "I heard that Xiao Ji's mother is a difficult person to get along with?"

Huang Erhe put down his teacup: "It's not that she's hard to get along with, it's just that we can't connect at all. That woman has a very high and mighty attitude."

"Is she arrogant?" Huang Xiaochuan asked, intrigued. "Tell me about it?"

"It's just that Xiao Ji's mother came to Shanghai and met with Mi Guo, but didn't give her a gift. Your second sister-in-law was unhappy because she felt that the other party was disrespectful."

Huang Xiaochuan frowned slightly: "I see!"
