SFS Chapter 495: Everyone's waiting to see a laugh!
Chapter 495: Everyone's waiting to see a laugh!
Originally, for Xu's mother's birthday, all she had to do was cook a simple meal at home.
After all, it's not a big, round birthday.
However, in order to welcome Li Yan and Wang Xiuxiu, Xu's parents decided to upgrade the birthday celebration to this restaurant and invited many relatives to introduce her two good friends to them.
Upon hearing this, Li Yan and Wang Xiuxiu were also extremely shocked.
Li Yan looked at Xia Ying and said, "Really, Xia Ying? What have we done to deserve such attention from your in-laws? This is making me a little nervous!"
I originally thought it was just a simple birthday party.
did not expect......
The Xu family is making such a big fuss.
Li Yan had specifically researched this hotel before she came.
More than a thousand yuan per person!
At this moment, Wang Xiuxiu spoke up, smiling, "Yan Yan, don't be nervous, don't be nervous. The person the Xu family truly values is Xia Ying, not us! We're just benefiting from Xia Ying's fame."
Upon hearing this, Xia Ying's face was full of smug smiles.
Wang Xiuxiu is right.
While her in-laws' actions may seem like a way of welcoming Li Yan and Wang Xiuxiu, they were actually showing that they valued her.
If her in-laws don't value her, they naturally won't value her friends either!
Li Yan also understood this, turned her head to look at Xia Ying, and said enviously, "Xia Ying, are your parents-in-law especially good to you?"
Xia Ying nodded, "Of course. From the first day I married into their family, my parents-in-law treated me like their own daughter. Every day they not only made all sorts of delicious food for me, but they also never rushed me to get up in the morning. I could sleep as late as I wanted, even until one or two o'clock in the afternoon."
At this point, Xia Ying continued, "Moreover, when I get up in the morning, my parents-in-law even squeeze the toothpaste for me! They're afraid I'll get tired."
Xia Ying was telling the truth; there was no exaggeration whatsoever.
Li Yan and Wang Xiuxiu were already envious of Xia Ying, and after hearing this, they were even more envious!
Especially Li Yan.
She had heard that the Xu family was well-off.
It's really too difficult for a girl to find a husband's family that has good conditions and treats her well.
There's too much hostility in society these days.
Very few girls can maintain good relationships with their husband's family after marriage. Having a good husband's family like Xia Ying's is even harder to come by than winning the lottery!
Li Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "Xia Ying, you're so lucky!"
Wang Xiuxiu immediately nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Xia Ying, you're so lucky. I heard from others before that the Xu family doesn't seem to have a very good reputation, and I was worried that you would be mistreated there. But now it seems that those were all unfounded rumors!"
How could a family with a terrible reputation treat its daughter-in-law so well?
I've heard from others that the Xu family has a bad reputation?
Upon hearing this, Xia Ying immediately asked, "Xiuxiu, who told you that?"
Wang Xiuxiu continued, "Just a few days ago, I was talking to my colleagues about how well you married. Your husband's name is Xu Tao. One of my colleagues said that she and Xu Tao were elementary school classmates, and she also told me that Xu Tao's parents are very difficult to get along with, saying that you're finally going to have a good life after marrying into their family. However, now I think that my colleague was probably just jealous that you married well!"
Xia Ying narrowed her eyes, instinctively feeling that those words must have been spread by Jiang Ning.
Besides Jiang Ning, who else would be so bored?
Jiang Ning is just jealous of her!
I'm jealous that she has a good husband, and I'm jealous that she has a good father-in-law and mother-in-law.
I heard that Shen Jingnian's father passed away a long time ago, leaving only Old Mrs. Shen. Such lonely old women are often psychologically twisted, and I guess Jiang Ning has suffered a lot of abuse in the Shen family!
If not.
Why would Wang Xiuxiu's colleagues speak ill of the Xu family behind their backs for no reason?
Are they just bored and have nothing better to do?
Therefore, it must be that Jiang Ning found out that Wang Xiuxiu was her friend, so she deliberately arranged this incident.
How disgusting!
Hearing Wang Xiuxiu's words, Li Yan quickly nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Xiuxiu, it must be your colleague who's jealous of Xia Ying!"
The three of them talked as they walked toward the private room.
In the box.
After hearing that Xia Ying's friend was Jiang Ning, everyone was eagerly anticipating the news.
They are all ordinary people who don't usually have the chance to see big shots.
I got to know Jiang Ning because I saw her on TV.
Everyone is now eager to see what the real big shots look like!
Xia Ying hasn't arrived yet.
A distant relative of the Xu family walked up to Xu's mother and Xu Tao with a phone in hand, and asked with a smile, "Tao Tao, do you think my search was right? This must be Mrs. Shen, right?"
Xu's mother has always liked to show off.
Since Jiang Ning came in person to celebrate her birthday, she naturally invited all the relatives connected to the Xu family.
She wanted everyone to witness the success of the Xu family!
She wants everyone to envy her!
They made all those who once looked down on the Xu family regret their actions.
Xu Tao glanced at his distant relative's phone and saw that the screenshot was of Jiang Ning being interviewed by a reporter. "Yes, yes, this is Mrs. Shen."
The distant relative, holding his phone, said, "Okay, I'll have to take a good look later to see if my sister-in-law's friend is really Mrs. Shen."
His words clearly showed that he didn't believe Xia Ying knew Jiang Ning, let alone that they were good friends!
What is Xia Ying's identity?
What is Jiang Ning's identity?
How could Jiang Ning possibly be friends with her?
Isn't this nonsense?
Xu Tao laughed and said, "Brother Jian, you'd better open your eyes wide and look carefully! After all, this might be your only chance in your life to see Mrs. Shen!"
Zhou Jianming nodded, "Don't worry, I'll definitely open my eyes as wide as possible!"
Another minute passed, and Zhang Nan walked up to Xu Tao. "Tao Tao, didn't you say Mrs. Shen was already downstairs? Why is Xia Yingjie still here?"
Liu Zhi, standing to the side, squinted and said, "Cousin, could it be that your wife doesn't even know Mrs. Shen, and now that she's made a boast, she can't back down, so she's afraid to come up?"
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone in the private room changed, and smiles appeared on their lips.
If the Xu family is really just bragging, then this is going to be interesting!
Zhang Nan glared at Liu Zhi, "Zhizhi, don't talk nonsense. Your cousin and his wife aren't that kind of vain people at all!"
Mrs. Xu glanced at Liu Zhi with some displeasure. "Zhizhi, what are you saying, child! What good does it do us to brag about this? After all, you've all met Mrs. Shen. If Xia Ying hadn't brought Mrs. Shen, we would have been the ones who lost face. Besides, your uncle and I aren't the kind of people who like to brag! Wait a little longer. I just sent a WeChat message to your cousin-in-law. She and Mrs. Shen are already in the elevator and should be arriving soon."
Almost as soon as Xu's mother finished speaking.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
thump thump thump--
Mrs. Xu's face lit up with joy, "It must be Xia Ying who brought Mrs. Shen here."
