The Bride's Mother hurriedly took her husband's hand, a smile plastered on her face as she went to greet the in-laws.
"Hello, in-laws! We are Li Xiyun's parents," she introduced herself cheerfully, her demeanor surprisingly bold as she approached Han Baiying.
Han Baiying glanced at the couple with indifference and replied, "I see."
"In-laws, thank you for raising such an outstanding son as Liu Jiyue. It truly is a blessing for our Li Xiyun to marry him," the Bride's Mother continued to smile.
"You're right about that. My son is certainly exceptional, and your daughter is lucky to marry him; it’s a fortune she must have earned over several lifetimes," Han Baiying said arrogantly, showing no signs of politeness.
"Indeed, you are absolutely right," the Bride's Mother responded, still eager to flatter despite the condescension. She seemed almost subservient, while the Bride's Father's expression darkened, feeling a mix of discomfort and resentment.
Seeing the Bride's Mother so obsequious only made Han Baiying more disdainful.
Li Xiyun felt a prickling discomfort as she witnessed her parents being treated with such disdain. It was hard for her to bear, but she felt powerless against her domineering mother-in-law. She discreetly tugged at Liu Jiyue’s sleeve and shot him a glance.
However, Liu Jiyue merely smiled back, pretending not to notice.
"By the way, in-laws, I heard from President Zhao that you have a relative who knows someone from the Kong Island Qinghe Society. That person even stood up for your relative against President Zhao’s daughter. I didn’t expect you to have such influential connections," Han Baiying said with a smirk.
"Uh, I’m not aware of that; that person isn’t one of our relatives," the Bride's Mother quickly replied.
"Not a relative? Heh, how could he be here then?" Han Baiying scoffed.
"Dad, Mom, which relative got into trouble?" Li Xiyun asked with a frown upon hearing this.
"A young man; he’s not our relative," the Bride's Parents said irritably while pointing at Jiang Chen. The young man was too brash and spoke too boldly.
"Third Madam, tonight is a grand occasion for your Liu Family. How can an outsider come here and act so recklessly? You need to handle this," Zhao Xinrong's Father remarked.
"I will handle it. In our Liu Family, we won’t tolerate anyone causing trouble. Let me see who this young man is that even Lin Family would help him," Han Baiying sneered before leading the Liu Family members toward Jiang Chen with great authority.
"Wait! In-laws, this is a misunderstanding; please don’t be angry," the Bride's Father hurriedly stepped forward to explain. Regardless of everything, he didn’t want Jiang Chen to get hurt since he was standing up for them.
"Whether it’s a misunderstanding or not is for me to determine; you don’t need to concern yourself," Han Baiying replied coolly.
The Bride's Father wanted to say more but was stopped by the Bride's Mother.
"Husband, are you out of your mind? That young man is now the target of everyone's ire. The in-laws already look down on us; don’t provoke them further. As for that young man, he brought this upon himself," she warned.
"This is infuriating!" The Bride's Father felt overwhelmed and deeply frustrated by the Liu Family’s arrogance. This was not how family ties should feel; he had his own pride and found their forced flattery unbearable.
"Best watch your words and actions; this isn’t your home turf. If it weren’t for your daughter, you wouldn’t even be here in your lifetime," Han Baiying coldly remarked, her expression sharp and disdainful like that of an evil empress who believed her high status gave her license to look down on everyone else.
