Chapter 604 - 623: The Brilliant Xi Xilan
After warning her husband, Fu Runzhi turned back to the kitchen.
Liang Guang was left standing there, looking distressed and confused, his eyes blinking in bewilderment as he muttered to himself, "Could it be that I’m truly out of touch with this era’s trends?"
Thinking about it, it made sense. Nowadays, women can be CEOs, so why not have men in the kitchen? His niece had such a good man to take care of her, he should be happy about it.
Liang Guang eventually stepped into the kitchen too, lending a hand while chatting with his nephew-in-law.
No matter what kind of questions were asked, Lin Mubai patiently answered them.
In the end, Liang Guang exchanged a glance with his wife, both displaying the satisfied demeanor of in-laws growing increasingly fond of their son-in-law. Any previous minor incidents tonight were brushed aside by them all.
Meanwhile, An Ruiyang, Xi Xilan, and An Yuya left the mansion, their eyes filled with discontent. An Yuya began to grumble as soon as she got into the car.
"Grandpa, you are the one who founded this family, how could you let that brat rise above you? If word gets out that we got kicked out by a brat, how can we face anyone in the future?"
She had promised her friends a dinner soon, and if they found out she was kicked out, they’d laugh at her. She couldn’t afford that humiliation.
As her daughter complained, Xi Xilan silently observed the people beside her. Seeing little reaction from them, she slightly squinted, knowing it was time to spice things up, but the spice must be added delicately to appear natural.
In this aspect, Xi Xilan was undeniably skilled. She cast a cold glance at An Yuya, immediately silencing her, then continued calmly, "Yuya, don’t be immature. If we truly count, the mansion indeed belongs to An Nan. So whether she lets us live there or not is her freedom. Saying otherwise is your mistake."
An Yuya was puzzled by her mom speaking favorably of An Nan. Then she heard Grandpa’s stern reprimand, "Shut up! What nonsense about the mansion belonging to that brat! That brat’s mom married into the Lin Family, so everything of hers belongs to the Lin Family. And the brat has my blood, so everything of hers is mine. I’m not dead yet; there’s no room for that brat to collapse. Xinlan, tomorrow, notify Jingxuan to come home and tell that brat to wisely divorce Lin Mubai, or else she’ll face consequences."
Xi Xilan wanted exactly this outcome; a gleeful smile crossed her eyes. She then continued, "Alright, Dad, I understand. I’ll handle it; you don’t need to be upset."
She more than knew what to do; she’d give that brat a huge surprise.
Thinking of this, Xi Xilan shot An Yuya a look, as if to say, "See? This is a true master at work."
At this moment, An Yuya realized why her mother sided with Lin Annan; it was all about stirring the pot. But she didn’t care about the process; she only wanted the result.
