"Jiyue, who is she? How dare she humiliate my family?" Li Xiyun gritted her teeth in anger.
"Uh, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Zhao Xinrong, Jiyue's first girlfriend and the young lady of the Zhao Family from Hong Kong Island," Zhao Xinrong said proudly.
"Zhao Xinrong, have you had enough of this? Our relationship ended a long time ago," Liu Jiyue said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xinrong was indeed Liu Jiyue's first girlfriend, but they broke up when Liu Jiyue went abroad for studies. Initially, it didn't matter much; Zhao Xinrong was from a wealthy family and could find any handsome man she wanted. However, after Liu Jiyue returned home and developed a kind of Divine Medicine, he quickly became famous, and the Liu Family's business improved significantly. Zhao Xinrong began to regret their breakup and wanted to reconcile with Liu Jiyue, but he had moved on and started dating a domestic woman. This left Zhao Xinrong feeling dissatisfied and resentful, prompting her to stir up trouble now.
If the woman Liu Jiyue was marrying today had a more impressive background than hers, she would have thought twice before acting so arrogantly. Unfortunately, in her eyes, Li Xiyun's background was insignificant. Seeing her man being taken away by someone like that only fueled Zhao Xinrong's resentment.
"So what if you're Jiyue's first girlfriend? That's in the past. Right now, I am Jiyue's fiancée. No matter how unhappy you are about it, it doesn't change anything," Li Xiyun retorted angrily, standing her ground against Zhao Xinrong.
"Heh, do you really think Jiyue likes you?" Zhao Xinrong sneered.
"You probably don't know this yet, but I'm pregnant with Jiyue's child," Li Xiyun said with a hint of pride.
"And so what? Your status is merely that of a breeding tool," Zhao Xinrong replied, then turned to Liu Jiyue with a meaningful look. "Jiyue, I know what you're thinking."
"You really are crazy." Under Zhao Xinrong's gaze, Liu Jiyue felt uneasy, fearing she might say something even more hurtful. He reached out and pushed her away.
Zhao Xinrong didn't escalate the situation further; she simply stood aside and watched coldly.
"Xiyun, let me take you to meet my parents," Liu Jiyue said.
"Okay," Li Xiyun nodded. "What about my parents?"
"My dad isn't in great health and shouldn't meet too many people. Just you go for now; my mom will come out later, and you can meet her then. Right now, it's mainly about greeting my dad," Liu Jiyue explained.
"Alright." Li Xiyun didn't press further; she understood that marrying into a wealthy family came with its own set of rules and that she would have to endure some humiliation.
The bride's parents felt somewhat awkward. They had come yesterday but hadn't met the in-laws yet. Now they were here but still couldn't see them; it felt like they were being looked down upon. However, they couldn't say much—after all, the in-laws were more influential than they were.
"Xiyun, go ahead; we'll wait here," the bride's mother said, her eyes reflecting disappointment.
As Liu Jiyue and Li Xiyun left, Zhao Xinrong approached the bride's father and mother and said, "You don't really think marrying your daughter to Liu Jiyue will allow you to climb the social ladder? The Liu Family is quite proud and won't take you seriously. Do you see? You don't even have the right to meet your in-laws."
Faced with Zhao Xinrong's harsh words, the bride's parents could only swallow their anger. They were just domestic businesspeople while Zhao Xinrong clearly had a powerful background; opposing someone like her would yield no benefits at all.
