Mrs. Fu held Qin Jianxi’s arm as they entered the living room.

“Xixi, your dad is still at work and isn’t back yet. He should be back soon. As for the old man, he’s still upstairs changing. He said that he wants to appear in front of you in his best condition.”

Before Qin Jianxi could say anything, a delicate voice said, “Aunt, this must be Miss Qin! You’re indeed quite beautiful. Hello, I’m Fu Gels cousin, Wan Shan.

Nice to meet you.”

Wan Shan extended her hand.

The smile on her face was completely different from when she was sitting on the sofa and looking down at Qin Jianxi.

“We’re family, why are we shaking hands?” said Mrs. Fu directly.

Then, she pulled Qin Jianxi to sit on the sofa.

“Xixi, sit here for a while. I have to keep these roses in a bottle.”

This was a gift from her favorite daughter-in-law. She had to keep it in good condition for as long as possible.

Wan Shan retracted her hand. Her gaze fell on the rose, and her eyes rolled.

She smiled coquettishly and said, “Aunt, your flowers… It doesn’t seem to be imported. Since when can ordinary roses impress you? My uncle is really too casual. I’ll definitely criticize him properly later. I’ll have to make him pay more attention next time.”

Mrs. Fu was originally very happy, but when she heard her niece’s words, the smile on her face immediately disappeared.

She could tell that Wan Shan’s tone was full of sarcasm.

“Let’s not talk about whether your uncle is going to send me flowers or not. As my niece, who are you to criticize me?”

“These roses were given to me by my Xixi. So what if they’re ordinary? Isn’t it still a flower? My Xixi is so thoughtful. Even if it’s just a straw, I will still be very happy.”

‘Unlike you, who usually calls me ‘Auntie’ quite sweetly. You only have a sweet mouth and don’t do anything. Let alone roses, I haven’t even seen a flower petal from you in so many years. Is there a niece like you? Did you treat me as your aunt? You don’t even know that roses are my favorite.’

“Alright, it’s fine if you don’t look good, but you can’t do anything. You’re the best at being jealous and mocking others. If you want to stay, then shut up. If you do not want to stay, then leave quickly.”

Wan Shan’s expression turned sour.

She did not expect her aunt to be so… so protective of a woman who had yet to marry into the family.

She felt extremely aggrieved and was about to speak when she met her cousin’s icy gaze.

She swallowed all her words in an instant.

“S-Sorry, I didn’t know.”

“Leave. Don’t come to my house again,” said Fu Ge coldly.

Wan Shan’s face turned pale and she stammered, “Cousin, I’m your cousin…

She…”

“She’s my future wife and the next mistress of the Fu family. As an outsider, it’s fine if you don’t tuck your tail between your legs to curry favor with my Xixi, but you actually dare to speak without thinking. Who gave you this courage? Now, get lost while we’re still in a good mood.”

Wan Shan’s face was filled with embarrassment. She turned around and saw her aunt.

“Aunt, look at Cousin…”

Mrs. Fu said, “Your cousin is right. You better remember this in the future. Look at how you’re so arrogant. I won’t argue with you today. Go back home first and we’ll talk again later. ”

Wan Shan couldn’t stay any longer, no matter how thick-skinned she was. She quickly ran away crying.

Mrs. Fu looked at Qin Jianxi apologetically. She said, “Xixi, it’s all Mom’s fault. I shouldn’t have invited her over today..”
