After Mrs. Feng blurted out her words, the scene became obviously quieter.

After all, they had only heard about the Xie family's affairs, but no one would be impulsive enough to mention it in front of the Xie family, or in such an aggressive and sharp tone.

Father Shen and Mother Shen's expressions were slightly condensed. They looked at each other and saw the disapproval in each other's eyes.

Shen You immediately frowned and walked out from behind Shen's mother. Just as he was about to speak, the woman in a beige suit and dress was one step ahead of her and said with a smile: "Can Mrs. Feng's habit of speaking without thinking be changed? "

Before anyone arrives, the sound comes first.

Everyone looked around and saw a woman walking slowly and elegantly. She was slim and graceful, wearing an emerald necklace around her neck, colorful pearl earrings on her ears, and a pair of extremely fine pearls on her wrist. The expensive jade bracelet and the custom-made dress she wore exuded grace and luxury from head to toe.

She is the current mistress of the Xie family and Xie Chenxiao's stepmother, Zhang Lingwei.

Zhang Lingwei stopped, without even looking at her stepson, and said to Mrs. Feng with a smile: "Mrs. Feng, I don't seem to hear what you just said clearly. Can you repeat it again?"

Mrs. Feng's face turned pale, she subconsciously took a step back, shook her head, and did not dare to say anything.

The baby in his arms seemed to feel the fear of the person holding him, and cried loudly without any warning.

The already solemn scene became even more chaotic because of the baby's cry.

Mrs. Feng hurriedly comforted her grandson and tried to pretend that nothing happened. However, Zhang Lingwei's smiling eyes kept looking straight at her, which made her feel a little scared.

She took a deep breath, and under his gaze, she subconsciously wanted to apologize to calm the matter, but then she thought, this is the Feng family, she is the master, and everyone else is a guest. Even if Zhang Lingwei is the hostess of the Xie family, that is She is considered a more distinguished guest, so she will always give her some face, right?

Besides, Zhang Lingwei is Xie Chenxiao's stepmother. She has never heard that they have a good relationship. Even if Zhang Lingwei wants to stand up for him, will Xie Chenxiao accept her favor?

More importantly, Father Shen was standing in front of her watching at this moment, and she didn't want him to leave the impression of being embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Feng straightened her waist and said confidently: "Isn't what I just said the truth?"

Hearing this, Zhang Lingwei curled her lips and said, "Whether it's true or not, this is a private matter of our Xie family. Is it your turn as an outsider to come out and discuss right and wrong?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the smile on the woman's face disappeared completely in the blink of an eye.

When she smiles, it makes people feel scared, and when she doesn't smile, her aura is even more fierce. The words "not easy to mess with" are almost written on her face.

Mrs. Feng's heart pounded, she pursed her lips, and chose to take a step back: "Okay, I admit that I was unobtrusive and said the wrong thing."

After a pause, she glanced at the young man and then looked at Zhang Lingwei: "But that's because Master Xie was rude to me first. I wasn't talking to him originally. It was he who took the initiative to stir up trouble and ridiculed me, an elder. . So do you think he should also apologize to me? "

Zhang Lingwei glanced at the expressionless face of the young man and chuckled, "Don't you all know that he is a poor child who was abandoned by his biological mother? Isn't it normal to be rude and rude without a mother's upbringing? As an elder, It’s better to be more tolerant of him.”

She spoke with a vague sigh and her eyes were filled with pity. Mrs. Feng choked on her words. For a moment, she was not sure what she meant.

Let’s say that as a stepmother, she had a bad relationship with Xie Chenxiao. She showed up immediately when she heard someone humiliating him. But let’s say that she defended Xie Chenxiao. Not to mention that she never even looked at him from beginning to end. It sounds confusing, and it even admits in disguise that Xie Chenxiao is rude and accepts the evaluation that he was "born but not taught by his mother".

Obviously she herself did not allow Mrs. Feng to mention the matter of Xie Chenxiao, but Mrs. Feng only asked him to apologize, which would be a step down for her as the host of the banquet. However, Zhang Lingwei seemed not to understand and kept to herself. This strange tone brought up this matter.

mercy? pity? Or was it intentional?

Everyone was silent, but they were also quietly thinking about this issue.

Before they could figure out the reason, Shen You's voice suddenly sounded in their mind——

[Haha, Xie Chenxiao, this stepmother is really hypocritical! 】

Um? ?

hypocritical? Why do you say this?
Hearing this, everyone's gossip radar instantly went off and they quietly pricked up their ears. However, Father Shen and Mother Shen became vigilant and looked at Zhang Lingwei not far away, fearing that she would suddenly rush over and attack Shen You.

Zhang Lingwei narrowed his eyes.

Shen You didn't know why she looked at her inexplicably, but the moment their eyes met, she blinked with no fear in her eyes.

At the same time, everyone heard her snort coldly and continued——

[I have to protect the face of the Xie family in front of everyone, but I also hate that Xie Chenxiao, the child from his ex-wife, is too arrogant. He thinks that mentioning Xie Chenxiao and his mother in such a pitiful tone can save his pride and face. Trampled underfoot? Pooh! 】

[Every time you go out, you want to put on expensive jewelry wherever you expose it, for fear that others will see that you are not having a good time at the Xie family? It's a pity that even if you are arrogant in front of others, the people you care about will never see you! In fact, you yourself are the real poor thing! 】

Zhang Lingwei's expression froze slightly when she noticed that everyone was looking at the jewelry she was wearing, as if absentmindedly.

...Why is this little girl from the Shen family acting like a roundworm in her belly?
She underestimated her.

It seems that under the gaze of these eyes, all lies will be hidden.

Zhang Lingwei glanced at her meaningfully, then at Father Shen and Mother Shen who looked alert, and finally glanced at Xie Chenxiao, who seemed to be standing still, but in fact, he might kick him in the next second. , sneered, and finally spoke to him for the first time: "Go home for a meal, and talk to your father about your private change of aspirations."

Probably realizing that Shen You had exposed her secret dark thoughts in public, Zhang Lingwei didn't bother to pretend anymore. At the end of the sentence, she couldn't hide the gloating in her tone. After conveying the words, she left the banquet without hesitation.

As soon as Zhang Lingwei left, Mrs. Feng breathed a sigh of relief and became unscrupulous again.

Inadvertently, he met the girl's black and white eyes. The beautiful eyes in front of him slightly curved and gave her a seemingly friendly smile.
