Chapter 9:
After completing the procedures with Ji Lin, we went to change into our toast attire together.
When we reached the table where my aunt sat, Chen Xin insisted on drinking a few glasses with me.
I looked around and her husband's seat was empty, and I didn't know where he had gone.
She said, "Jiang Ran, I didn't expect you to really marry this poor guy.
Your days won't be as good as mine anymore." Ji Lin ignored her and, out of consideration for her being my relative, didn't want to lose face, so he asked for my help.
I politely said, "We still have to go to the next table, so we won't drink with you." Unexpectedly, Chen Xin held onto me and wouldn't let go.
"How can that be? Today you have to drink a glass with each of us here.
Could it be that your brother-in-law is not being courteous?" I frowned displeased.
If we drink like this, will we have the energy for the wedding night? My parents asked her to stop.
My aunt, who had been silent all along, couldn't help but speak up.
"No, do you look down on us? Jiang Ran, when your husband joins Ji Lin's company, you'll have to rely on him to support you.
If you don't please him now, when will you please him?" As soon as these words came out, everyone at the table looked at my aunt.
My aunt said, "What are you looking at me for? I'm just thinking about them, wanting them to have a better life." She probably forgot that my father had already transferred the company to my name.
Even if Ji Lin's family background is not good, we don't have to go begging them.
Aunt couldn't help but ask her, "Do you know whose wedding you're attending today?" Aunt: "Isn't it Jiang Ran's wedding with her poor husband?" Aunt rolls her eyes, "I'm asking you, what is Jiang Ran's husband's name?" How could my aunt answer that? She said, "I don't care what his name is, as long as I know he's Jiang Ran's husband." At the same time, Chen Xin suddenly waved to someone not far away, "Husband, Ji Lin, I'm here." She spoke loudly, causing people at the nearby table to look over.
But Chen Xin didn't notice the complicated gazes of others and continued to wave to someone not far away.
As Chen Xin's husband, when she called out "Ji Lin," he subconsciously turned and walked towards the door.
Chen Xin didn't easily let go of the opportunity to show off her identity, so she hurriedly walked over and pulled her husband back, bringing him in front of Ji Lin.
"Here, this is my husband.
When you go to Ji's company, find him and let him arrange things for you."
"Ji Lin stared at the man in front of him, his voice cold, 'Are you Ji Lin?' Chen Xin's husband's head was already lowered, and now that he heard Ji Lin speak, he trembled and dared not speak.
Chen Xin was puzzled and patted her husband, 'What's wrong with you?' Auntie also leaned over, 'Yeah, why aren't you speaking?' At this moment, my mom couldn't hold back anymore and suddenly slammed the table.
'What's wrong? This counterfeit goods has met the real deal, what do you say?' Auntie and Chen Xin both changed their faces at the same time.
'Uncle, we are all relatives, how can you speak like this?' Great Auntie said, 'Relatives? They haven't been for a long time.
Being relatives with a bunch of people like you, who are greedy and calculate family assets, makes me embarrassed!' My mom added, 'Not only that, they shamelessly impersonated my son-in-law Ji Lin.
Ah, what kind of thing are they? They even look down on us, do we need them to look up to us?' Chen Xin became angry and said, 'Why are we counterfeit goods? Husband, tell them who you really are!' Auntie said, 'Yes, if they don't believe you, prove your identity to them.' No matter what they said, Chen Xin's husband remained silent.
The commotion attracted the relatives at the neighboring table.
Someone with sharp eyes recognized Chen Xin's husband, and seeing him with the other party's relatives, couldn't help but ask.
An informed person explained, 'This is the bride's cousin-in-law, and he is the prince of the Ji family.' The person was stunned and then looked at him like he was a fool, 'Are you mistaken? The groom today is the prince Ji Lin, and the person you are talking about is the son of Ji Lin's driver.' Chen Xin immediately denied it, 'How is that possible? I have been to the Ji family! And the servants inside all call me Madam...' I casually said, 'That's because the villa is rented, and the servants inside are hired.' 'Your husband spent money to hire people to act in order to make you firmly believe in him.' Auntie was stunned due to the shock.
Chen Xin looked at her husband with some uncertainty in her eyes but still said, 'Impossible.
Even if what you said is true, why would he deceive me?' I sneered, 'Of course, he wants to keep you firmly in his grasp, and then, when you inherit the properties of both uncle families, he knows that when you find out the truth, you'll want a divorce, and he can even take away the majority of your assets.' But they never expected that Chen Xin would show off her wealth everywhere.
Because of flaunting her wealth, she offended both uncles and severed ties with them.
