Yin Jinglin smiled and said, âThe scenery here is beautiful, right? Actually, every blade of grass and tree here is personally taken care of by Grandma. She used to spend all her time on work. Now that the companyâs matters have been handed to the younger generation, she has nothing to do and just fiddles with the flowers and plants.â
Qiao Xi could not help but sigh in her heart. Yin Lianxin was such a legendary woman. Decades ago, she was the number one beauty in Shengdu. Even though she was old now, she was still elegant and active. But why did she marry that scumbag Xia Cheng back then?
âActually, Grandma built this restaurant to hold on to the longing in her heart. The word âYunâ in Yingyun Hall is in the names of all her three children. She really loves her three children, but Aunt Yunqiu passed away at a young age, while Aunt Yunlou became like this. How did this happen?â
Hearing Yin Jinglinâs words, Qiao Xi felt an indescribable sorrow in her heart.
Seeing the sorrow in Qiao Xiâs eyes, Yin Jinglin hurriedly smiled. âItâs all in the past. At least us juniors are all very good! Itâs just that the Xia family is really annoying and always disgusts others.â
Qiao Xi nodded. The two of them walked along the back garden when they suddenly heard a voice not far away. âMom, donât be angry. Today is Mengyanâs apprenticeship day. You canât faint again. Donât worry, I definitely wonât let that little b*tch off. She embarrassed the Xia family, so Iâll definitely make her pay the price!â
Yin Jinglin was instantly angry. He could tell that the person who spoke was Xia Yunlou, and the mother she was calling out to was Old Madam Xia.
As Yin Lianxinâs biological daughter, Xia Yunlou called the mistress her mother and even called her daughter a little b*tch! Was such a person worthy of having familial relations?
Yin Jinglin was furious and was about to go up to argue when Qiao Xi grabbed his arm and advised, âJinglin, donât be rash. Itâs beneath your status to bicker with her. Moreover, youâre the birthday boy today. Donât be angry with them.â
Hearing Qiao Xiâs words, Yin Jinglinâs expression softened a little. He said with a disdainful expression, âWho do they think they are?! Our Yin family doesnât take them seriously at all! Theyâre just a bunch of ingrates!â
Yin Jinglinâs voice was very loud. When Xia Yunlou heard that, she immediately shouted, âYou brat from the Yin family! Who did you say is an ingrate? Say that again! Didnât your mother teach you to respect your elders?â
Yin Jinglin gritted his teeth. He could not believe that Xia Yunlou was so shrewish and crude even though they were both children of the same mother.
âMadam Xia.â Yin Jinglin snorted. âI didnât say that youâre an ingrate. You admitted it yourself. I really didnât expect someone to take the initiative to scold themselves! Xi Xi, letâs go! Iâm not talking to an idiot!â
âStop right there!â Xia Yunlou roared. âYin Jinglin! Iâm your aunt, yet youâre talking to me like this? Youâre calling me an ingrate and an idiot? Donât you have any manners?â
Yin Jinglin snorted. âWhy would my aunt call a mistress âMomâ? Madam Xia, donât claim to be a relative. Our Yin family doesnât have such a heartless person like you!â
These words slapped Xia Yunlou and Ai Sumei in the face. The two of them were furious and panted heavily. They wished they could tear Yin Jinglinâs mouth apart.
Xia Yunlou glared at him fiercely. Even a little brat from the Yin family looked down on her. She was Yin Lianxinâs biological daughter. No matter what, she was Yin Jinglinâs elder. What right did he have to disrespect her?
What was so good about Yin Lianxin? She was selfish and only had herself in her eyes, so the children she raised were all so selfish. They only cared about enjoying themselves and did not care about the Xia family at all.
Yin Jinglin glanced at the two of them. âLet me remind you, Madam Xia. Yingyun Hall is my grandmotherâs territory. If your Xia family wants to hold an apprenticeship banquet here in peace, then keep a low profile. Donât anger us or weâll chase all of you out. If that happens, letâs see if Xia Mengyan can still hold the apprenticeship banquet today!â
If he did not scold her, Xia Yunlou would not know how to restrain herself!
Xia Yunlou was so angry that her face turned red. She cursed, âYou little brat, what are you talking about?! Iâll tear your mouth off!â
âTell the kitchen that we wonât be holding the Xia familyâs banquet anymore. Iâll bear all the losses!â Yin Jinglin instructed the waiter at the side, then turned to look at Xia Yunlou. âMadam Xia, Iâm really sorry. Our Yin family is rich and doesnât lack your Xia familyâs money. Moreover, we donât welcome mistresses. Please leave!â
At this moment, the others from the Xia family also rushed over when they heard the commotion. They happened to hear Yin Jinglinâs words, and Xia Chengâs mood, which had just eased up a little, became chaotic again.
