The Supporting Actress Made A Comeback

Chapter 609 - 610: Fragile Heart [Extra for ’Yu Zuozuo’]

Hearing these words, Mo Shu’s eyes grew a touch colder.

Her Ji Nan had followed her for so long, what right did these people have to say such things?

Just as she was about to speak, Yu Siqiao tugged at her.

"Auntie," Yu Siqiao said, holding a wine glass, "Aunt, your words are a bit strange. She is today’s maid of honor, in a way also a half hostess, and you’re a guest. Why doesn’t she have the right to speak?"

Aunt Yu’s face turned ugly, "She’s just a bodyguard..."

"With all due respect," Yu Siqiao countered, "what would Uncle think of such words? Uncle also used to be your bodyguard before."

Aunt Yu’s face grew even uglier, "You child, why are you so thoughtless! I didn’t even mention you, and now you’re talking back to your elders?"

Yu Siqiao said firmly, "I am only thinking of Uncle. You look down on Ji Nan for being a bodyguard, but Uncle also came from a bodyguard background, and you still married him and had two children with him..."

"Enough!" Aunt Yu burst out in rage, "He’s not a bodyguard anymore, he is now the chairman of Zhong’an Milk Powder!"

Yu Siqiao pretended to have a sudden realization, "Oh, so Aunt thinks Uncle’s past as a bodyguard is something to be ashamed of?"

Aunt Yu gritted her teeth, "Shut your mouth!"

Mo Shu held back her laughter, slightly lowering her head.

Yu Siqiao continued, "Aunt, this is where you are wrong. Uncle will always be Uncle. When you were with him before, he was a bodyguard. How could you despise him?"

Aunt Yu was so furious she could scarcely breathe, "You..."

Mo Shu quickly stepped in as the good cop, "Auntie, don’t be angry. And you," she turned and lightly hit Yu Siqiao, "how can you say such things in front of so many people? Aunt is an elder after all, don’t put her in such an awkward position! It’s only because Aunt is generous that she doesn’t take offense!"

Aunt Yu felt choked by these words.

She hadn’t even had a chance to take umbrage, and such a tall hat had been plopped on her head, making it impossible for her to even begin to object.

Yu Siqiao suppressed his laughter and said to his wife, "I was wrong. Don’t be upset."

Mo Shu snorted lightly, "Today we’re getting married, Aunt is here to bless us. Even if she looks down on Uncle’s background, it isn’t your place as a junior to comment. Elders have their say, understand?"

Yu Siqiao replied, "Yes, I understand."

Aunt Yu stared in astonishment.

What’s with Yu Siqiao’s sudden obedience?

No, that’s not right. Since when had she looked down on her husband’s background?

Utter nonsense!

Just as Aunt Yu was about to argue, she saw Mo Shu say with a smile, "Aunt, don’t be angry. We’ve already received your blessings. We will love each other dearly and grow old together. Please, don’t be upset. Here, have some wedding candy to make you feel better. Ji Nan, could you fetch a pack of wedding candy?"

"Yes."

Aunt Yu was flustered; when did she ever wish for them to love each other and grow old together? "Wait..."

"Aunt just made some sensible points; as his brother and sister-in-law, it’s only right that we should guide our cousin if he’s feeling fragile," Mo Shu interrupted her with a smile, "It just so happens that after we’re married, we should indeed visit each other. What do you think, husband?"

Husband...

Yu Siqiao’s heart rippled for a moment.

Glancing sidelong at her, his eyes burning deeply, he suppressed the turmoil in his heart and nodded calmly.

Aunt Yu was exasperated.

God, this ’fragile heart’!

It’s you who’s fragile!

Your whole family is fragile!

But infuriatingly, those were her own words, and now the retort she wanted to give was stuck in her throat, neither here nor there, unable to be voiced or held back.
