Chapter 772 - 765: Incorrigible Self-Destructive Nature (Part 4)
Once Bai Yiran finished speaking, Mrs. Liu quickly tried to smooth things over, "No, Yiran, don’t say that."
Xiao Jin saw her mother-in-law being so polite to Bai Yiran but giving her a cold shoulder, and her husband not helping her at all at this time. Xiao Jin’s tears flowed in grievance, "It’s all your fault, it’s all your fault, Bai Yiran! You’re the real flirtatious slut!"
"What? Who called my daughter-in-law something?" Leng Liewei walked over with a cold face, followed by a frosty Leng Yichen behind him.
Chairman Liu looked awkward, wanting to join the conversation but couldn’t, as Leng Liewei and Leng Yichen completely ignored him and directly walked over to stand next to Bai Yiran.
Chairman Liu hurriedly walked over, glaring fiercely at Xiao Jin, then smiled as he spoke to Leng Liewei and Leng Yichen, "I’m really sorry, Xiao Jin is young and ignorant. This is the first time she’s attended such a banquet since marrying into the Liu Family; she must have been too nervous."
Leng Liewei snorted coldly, "Is your daughter-in-law young? My daughter-in-law is only 26 this year. It’s uncertain who’s younger between yours and mine!"
Seeing Leng Liewei standing up for her like this, Bai Yiran just felt warm inside and wasn’t angry at Xiao Jin’s rudeness.
Chairman Liu was at a loss for words upon hearing this because, in fact, Xiao Jin is a year older than Bai Yiran, being 27 this year.
Seeing things had escalated to this point because of his wife, Xiao Jin’s husband turned around and slapped Xiao Jin.
With a loud slap, "Apologize quickly!"
Xiao Jin didn’t expect to be slapped in public, covering her face, crying in grievance, but still refusing to apologize.
Bai Yiran really had no interest in watching the family drama any longer and immediately spoke up, "I’m really sorry, Chairman Liu, for causing such a scene on your birthday. It’s a fault of mine as a junior. Seeing it’s getting late, I won’t disturb any longer."
Bai Yiran’s polite words made Chairman Liu’s family all the more embarrassed, "This..."
Saying that, Bai Yiran was about to leave. Leng Yichen wrapped his arm around her waist and softly said, "I’ll go with you."
"Wait, Yichen, I also can’t stay, I’ll leave with you both," Leng Liewei said gently.
Seeing all the Leng Family members about to leave, Chairman Liu became anxious and quickly spoke to keep them, "Oh, Old Leng, this is just a small conflict between young people, let it not affect the bond between our families!"
Leng Liewei looked at Chairman Liu with a sidelong glance, "You’re wrong, Yiran is my daughter-in-law, her being insulted outside means our Leng Family is insulted. A bond that can be casually insulted, we don’t need! As for that three-party cooperation, find someone else. Huamei International is not interested, although I have already retired, I still have that bit of authority!"
Saying that, Leng Liewei walked out without looking back, with Leng Yichen, Bai Yiran, and Luna following behind.
Chairman Liu and his son hurriedly rushed out to chase after them, hoping to make one last effort. Could the cooperation of so many years between the two families really collapse due to a conflict between two daughters-in-law?
A perfectly fine birthday banquet ended up like this, Mrs. Liu walked up to Xiao Jin and gave her another slap, "This slap is my final lesson to you as your mother-in-law. Go home and pack up, and go back to your mother’s house!"
"Mom..." Xiao Jin only then realized the seriousness of the situation; she hadn’t expected her actions would directly cause the cooperation between the two companies to collapse. If she had known, she would have apologized to Bai Yiran, "Mom! I’ll apologize, I’ll go apologize to Bai Yiran now!"
"Too late!" Mrs. Liu no longer even glanced at her, "Didn’t you want to stay here? Then stay as long as you want!"
Saying that, Mrs. Liu left the venue with an icy demeanor, leaving Xiao Jin there crying helplessly.
At this moment, no one sympathized with her. A woman who could throw such a tantrum in this kind of setting is not worthy of sympathy.
