The Bride's Mother quickly took her husband's hand and greeted the in-laws with a beaming smile. "Hello, in-laws! We are Xiyun's parents." With a thick skin, she approached Han Baiying and introduced herself cheerfully.
Han Baiying glanced at the couple and replied coolly, "I see."
"In-laws, thank you for raising such an outstanding son as Jiyue. It truly is a blessing for our Xiyun to marry him," the Bride's Mother continued to smile.
"You're right about that. My son is exceptional, and your daughter is fortunate to marry him; it must be a result of eight lifetimes of good fortune," Han Baiying said arrogantly, showing no signs of politeness.
"Indeed, you're absolutely right," the Bride's Mother responded, still eager to flatter despite the condescension. She seemed utterly humble, while the Bride's Father's expression darkened, feeling quite uncomfortable inside.
Seeing the Bride's Mother so subservient only fueled Han Baiying's disdain. Li Xiyun felt a prickling discomfort as her parents were treated with such disregard. However, she felt powerless against her domineering mother-in-law and dared not meet her gaze directly. Instead, she discreetly tugged at Liu Jiyue's sleeve and shot him a look.
But Liu Jiyue merely smiled back, pretending not to notice.
"By the way, in-laws, I heard from President Zhao that you have a relative who knows someone from the Kong Island Qinghe Society, and that person even stood up for your relative against President Zhao's daughter. I didn't expect you to have such influential connections," Han Baiying said with a smirk.
"Uh, I don't know anything about that; that person isn't my relative," the Bride's Mother quickly replied.
"Not your relative? Heh, how could he possibly be here then?" Han Baiying sneered.
"Dad, Mom, which relative got into trouble?" Li Xiyun furrowed her brows upon hearing this.
"A young man; he's not our relative," the Bride's parents said irritably while pointing at Jiang Chen. This young man was too brash and spoke too forcefully.
"Third Madam, tonight is a grand occasion for the Liu Family. How can an outsider come here and act so recklessly? You need to handle this," Zhao Xinrong's Father remarked.
"I will certainly take care of it. In our Liu Family, we won't tolerate anyone causing a scene. Come on, let's see who this young man is that has Lin Family backing him," Han Baiying said coldly before leading the Liu Family members towards Jiang Chen with an imposing presence.
"Wait! In-laws, this is a misunderstanding; please don't be angry," the Bride's Father rushed forward to explain. No matter what, he didn't want Jiang Chen to get hurt since he was standing up for them.
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not is for me to decide; you don't need to concern yourself with it," Han Baiying replied dismissively.
The Bride's Father wanted to say more but was pulled back by the Bride's Mother.
"Husband, are you crazy? That young man is now the target of everyone's ire. The in-laws already look down on us; don't provoke them further. As for that young man, he brought this upon himself," the Bride's Mother cautioned.
"This is infuriating!" The Bride's Father felt overwhelmed and extremely displeased. The Liu Family's attitude was far too arrogant; this wasn't how families should unite. He had his own pride, and such forced flattery made him feel stifled.
"Ha! You'd best watch your words and actions; this isn't your home turf. If it weren't for your daughter, you would never have been able to appear in such a setting in your lifetime," Han Baiying said coldly, her tone sharp like that of an evil empress who believed her high status allowed her to disregard everyone else.
