My Evil Genius Wife

Chapter 351: Dinner Party (III)

Cheng Zixing frowned upon hearing Han Zihao’s comment. ” Unnecessary things? What...do you mean by that?”

” Han Zihao, it’s okay if you don’t accept me as your mother. But don’t you think as your father’s wife, I have a position in the family and have a say in major family decisions?”

” What’s wrong with me teaching her some rules of the family? It’s not like I was being rude to her.”

By now, she never said anything regarding Han Zihao or matters related to him but everything will change after he gets married. He will not only get married in the future but also take over the Han Corporations completely as well.

This will decrease the position that she holds in the family. And because of that, she can’t let a new girl do anything and look down on her just how he does.

If she doesn’t show her authority from the start, the girl might also take her lightly in the future.

And the way Grandmother Han treats her like an apple of her eye, she was afraid that this girl might replace her position in the family. How come everyone is so crazy over her?

.....

She is also the daughter-in-law of the Han Family, however, they never treated her this way, not even when she recently came to the family. She had to work hard to earn everyone’s trust and find her place in the family.

Why is Xu Nuan being treated differently from the start? It’s not like she is any special.

In the past, Grandmother Han has rejected the girl that she had introduced for Han Zihao as his partner.

She was such a nice girl with a high educational background. Not only that, she was the only heiress of the business of her family and they were quite reputed in the society as well.

It would have been great if Han Zihao and she had gotten married. This would not have only benefited the Han family but also elevated her position in the family as well.

However, Grandmother Han didn’t like the girl she suggested who was perfect and took a liking to this clumsy, unsophisticated girl.

She doesn’t even know how to carry herself well, how will she manage the household in the future?

–

Xu Nuan peeked at Han Zihao whose expressions were turning dark with every word that was coming from Cheng Zixing’s mouth.

It was her first time to see her speaking a lot like that. At least she is finally speaking her mind and not judging her quietly.

That was creepier than speaking on her face.

She sighed and reached out to hold his hand under the table and squeezed it lightly. She wanted to calm him down and not make a scene.

This will only worry Grandmother Han who prepared this family dinner with much care.

Han Zihao looked at Xu Nuan’s hand over his and let out a deep breath before speaking, ” Of course, you have a say in family matters. As the wife of my father, you have that authority.”

” However, any matter related to Xu Nuan is not something that you can comment on. It’s related to me and her only, I don’t think I have allowed anyone to comment about my matters.”

” Also...I am not sure since when the Han family became so conservative to control someone’s choice of dress. I don’t think Grandmother has ever questioned you about your choice of outfits.”

” If there was something wrong with Xu Nuan’s outfit, Grandmother would have said it to her. However, she didn’t say anything about her outfit, do you think you’re above grandmother in the family?” He questioned back.

Cheng Zixing’s expressions became dull upon facing such scandalous questions from him. How can he ask something like that to her?

” Wh...What are you saying? When did I say anything like that? I was just telling her to learn some-”

” Han Zihao is right. Cheng Zixing, you’re part of the Han Family. So you should know that our family doesn’t care about such superficial things. Xu Nuan has every right to wear whatever she wants and whenever.” Grandmother Han said firmly.

” Lecturing her about her clothes like this is utterly embarrassing. What were you trying to show here? That Han family is old-fashioned and likes to control their daughters-in-law? Have I ever treated you like this? Huh?”

Facing Grandmother Han’s wrath, Cheng Zixing had no choice but to stay quiet. Just as Han Zihao said earlier, she is not above Grandmother Han and there is no way she can say anything against her.

After the dramatic confrontation between Grandmother Han and Cheng Zixing, the room fell into an uncomfortable silence. Han Jianghong glanced at his wife who was bitter and embarrassed after being told off like this.

However, this time, she was indeed in the wrong. Even he was shocked by the way she talked to Xu Nuan tonight. She never acted this way, so what happened to her today?

##

The happy family dinner ended on a bitter note. By the end of the dinner, Cheng Zixing’s expressions were gloomy and unhappy.

Seeing her bitter expressions, Grandmother Han didn’t say anything further either. It was their wedding anniversary and she tried her best to make this a happy memory for them, but it was not her fault that things turned out like this.

Rather than riding the same car, they all left in different cars and only Han Liang was left behind with Han Zihao and Xu Nuan. They were standing outside the hotel and came down to bid goodbye to everyone.

After all the cars left, Han Liang turned to Xu Nuan and teased her, ” Xu Nuan, do you think you can be a part of this crazy family in the future? I am scared for you already.”

Xu Nuan blushed at his question and touched his crimson cheeks lightly. Part of this family?

She cleared her throat at his comment and said, ” Did you forget about my complicated family history? Don’t worry, I am immune to such situations. Moreover, in terms of what I have been through in my family, remarks of Mrs. Han was nothing compared to that.”

” By the way, why didn’t you leave with your parents? Why are you still here?” She asked.

He shook his head and said, ” I am not going home tonight. I am going with you guys. I will stay with my brother tonight.”

Xu Nuan frowned at his comment, ” Why? Why do you want to be the third wheel between us?”

” Because I hate to see you happy. Moreover, it’s my brother’s house. Can’t I come whenever I want?”

“NO!!” Han Zihao said.

Han Liang frowned at his brother’s comment and looked at Xu Nuan who was now laughing at him, ” Brother, how can you say something like this? I am your brother. Did you forget about the time we spent together? The days I have spent at your place? That’s so mean of you to reject my affection like this.” He whined.

” You cannot come with us because we’re not going anywhere.” Han Zihao added.

“???”

Xu Nuan stared at him in confusion, ” If we’re not going home, then where are we going?” she asked.

” Nowhere!” He said, leaving her flabbergasted.

‘Not going anywhere? What does he mean by this?’
