Chapter 2: Another Demonstration?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

At this moment, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up from his seat and roared at Xia Chenxing, “Xia Chenxing, what are you trying to do? Who asked you to lift the veil?”

Xia Chenxing raised her eyebrows and asked curiously, “Huh? Of course I have to do it. Don’t you see why? Why don’t I demonstrate it to you again?”

After being contradicted by Xia Xingchen in public, the middle-aged man was instantly furious. He pointed at Xia Chenxing and scolded, “Who are you? How dare you contradict me in front of me? You have no respect for your elders. Someone like you is not worthy to be the granddaughter-in-law of our Li family!”

The man was Li Fengyun, Li Ruixu’s uncle. He was the son of Li Ruixu’s grandfather’s younger brother. He had always wanted to be the head of the Li family but he had never been able to fulfill his wish. Therefore, he had a grudge against Li Ruixu’s family. He would not let go of any opportunity to cause trouble for Li Ruixu’s family.

When the guests saw the two of them confronting each other, they were abnormally excited. They widened their eyes and waited to see the drana.

Xia Chenxing did not care about the gazes of others. When she heard Li Fengyun’s words, she was not afraid at all. She even smiled at him and said calmly, “I recognize you. You’re my husband’s uncle, right?”

After Xia Chenxing confirmed that she had married into the Li family, she had already investigated the grudges between the Li family and these people. Naturally, she knew about this “good uncle” in front of her. Her dark eyes turned and she said, “Uncle, you’re also a junior in front of Grandmother. She hasn’t spoken yet. Why did you jump out?”

“You…” Li Fengyun did not expect Xia Chenxing to use the old madam to pressure him and was momentarily speechless.

“What about me?” Xia Chenxing asked with a smile. She was clearly smiling, but she was surrounded by a terrifying aura. Seeing that the other party was speechless, she continued, “So it’s not me who has no respect for my elders. It should be you, Uncle!” After saying that, she turned to look at Old Madam Li and said, “Grandmother, it’s indeed wrong for me to lift my veil, but I’m also thinking for the Li family. If the matter of the rooster replacing the groom is spread by someone with ulterior motives, it will damage the Li family’s reputation and your reputation! I wonder who came up with such a rotten idea. They definitely don’t have good intentions!”

Xia Chenxing had a certain understanding of the old madam of the Li family. She knew that such a ridiculous thing was definitely not thought of by the old madam. As expected, after she finished speaking, the old madam’s gaze locked onto Li Fengyun. Then, she slowly said, “Fengyun, I’ve long said that this matter is indecent, but you insisted on it. Now, tell me, how should we end this?” Although the old madam was old, she was in good health. Her words were full of energy and were extremely intimidating.

After being questioned, Li Fengyun glared at Xia Chenxing and hurriedly said with a smile, “Old Madam, it’s a tradition for a rooster to replace the groom. All the wealthy families in ancient times did this.”

Xia Chenxing quickly interrupted, “Uncle, you also know that that was in ancient times. What era is it now? Why are your thoughts still so outdated?”

“Shut up! The Li family is talking. How can an outsider like you speak!” Li Fengyun said angrily, wishing he could beat her up.

“An outsider?” Xia Chenxing was not afraid of him. Her expression turned cold as she said, “I respect you and call you uncle. I’m the young madam of the Li family. You’re calling me an outsider? Don’t you know who has no right to speak?”

“You, you, you damn girl, you’re asking for a beating!” Li Fengyun was completely enraged. He strode forward and raised his hand to slap Xia Chenxing.

Xia Chenxing seemed to have been prepared for this. She lifted her skirt and took a step to the side, dodging it. However, Li Fengyun was in trouble. He had used all his strength in his slap and could not retract it at all. After Xia Chenxing dodged him, he staggered a few steps forward and almost fell.

Li Fengyun had never suffered such a loss before. He stabilized his body and turned around to continue teaching Xia Chenxing a lesson.

However, at this moment, Xia Chenxing did not hide or panic. She actually smiled at him and said slowly, “Uncle, do you have some ulterior motive for repeatedly ruining the wedding? For example…”

“Enough!” Old Madam Li slammed the table and stood up. She said angrily, “Stop embarrassing yourself!” After saying that, she glared at Li Fengyun.

Li Fengyun felt a chill run down his spine and did not dare to say another word.

Old Madam Li knew very well that Li Fengyun’s ambition was not something that could be achieved in a day or two. He had always wanted to be in charge of the Li family. If he ruined this marriage, it might cause Li Ruixu to not wake up. Whether it was true or not, he would try.
