He Xiyan had dinner at Mo family for the fourth time.
To be exact, she had dinner at her own home.
Because since the moment they received the marriage certificate, she had been a member of Moâs family.
She offered to have bowls of rice for her parents-in-law.
However, she still called them uncle and aunt, because she didnât know how to address them differently for a while. Besides, if she suddenly did call them dad and mom, how embarrassed she would be if they didnât respond.
The atmosphere seemed a little serious. He Xiyan noticed no smile on the face of her parents-in-law.
Obviously, after they got the marriage certificate, Yixuan sent a message to his parents to tell them about this.
They must be very unhappy.
He Xiyan felt as if there were a stone weighing a thousand jin in her heart.
She could see that they were unhappy, especially her mother-in-law, Li Qin, who looked extremely bad with eyebrows tightly fixed.
Li Qin ate very fast. Usually it would take her half an hour to finish a meal. After a few mouthfuls today, however, she left the table.
âIâm full.â She said, and then went straight out of the dining hall.
He Xiyanâs heart sank all of a sudden, feeling quite uncomfortable as if her heart had been pierced by some sharp tool.
She looked at Li Qinâs back. Her eyes suddenly became sour.
No, she couldnât cry, especially at the table.
He Xiyan held the tears in her eyes with great effort and went on with the meal.
Of course, she couldnât eat any more, so she just forced herself to have some.
Yixuan and his father talked about the company business while eating, which seemed to be about a new project. She couldnât and shouldnât cut in because she understood nothing about the real estate industry and management.
After finishing a bowl of rice, she went out of the dining hall.
When she came out, she was stopped by her mother-in-law Li Qin.
âSit for a while in the living room.â Li Qinâs tone was still emotionless, as if she was talking to a stranger.
He Xiyan nodded and said okay.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law sat together again. Different from the last time, in addition to indifference, there was also the suppressed anger in her eyes, but she simply didnât show it.
âAunt⦠Would you like some water?â Seeing that she did not say anything, He Xiyan stood up, ready to get a glass of water.
Li Qin, âNo need.â
She said in the same cold voice. Indifferent answer.
âWe will consider your marriage at the end of this year. Yixuan and his father are very busy. There are so many affairs to deal with in the company that they canât spare time.â Said Li Qin coldly.
When she said that, she didnât even cast a look at He Xiyan.
This daughter-in-law was not the one she wanted, but she had become her daughter-in-law, and she could not prevent it any more. Whether she admitted it or not, she was her daughter-in-law.
He Xiyan took a deep breath. Unlike before, she was not nervous when facing Yixuanâs parents now. She simply felt depressed and uncomfortable.
This feeling of not being recognized and liked made her feel like an outsider and unable to integrate into this family.
âOkay, auntie.â He Xiyan did not refuse.
In fact, she could not refuse, because she didnât seem to have the right at all.
Li Qin sighed silently, and then continued.
âActually such a thing as marriage should be discussed by parents of both sides. Since you donât have relatives present, then weâll let go of this etiquette.â After saying that, Li Qin frowned.
