Chapter 672: No Hope of Being Liked
On the other side of the banquet hall, Xie Ruxue had returned to her mother Ye Yanzhi.
At the order of Xie's mother Ye Yanzhi, she stood beside him and had no intention of running anywhere else.
But she was very panicked and wanted to ask her mother about Ou Jinghuan's mother immediately.
Xie Ruxue raised her head, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated, then quickly lowered her head.
After a while, she raised her head again and looked at her mother Ye Yanzhi who was chatting with her aunt Ye Yingran.
Finally, feeling increasingly uneasy, she opened her mouth and asked:
"Mother...Mother, Auntie, have you met Brother Jinghuan's mother? What does she look like? Is she easy to get along with?
Did Jing Huan's mother also come to attend Grandpa Ou's birthday party today?"
Hearing this, Ye Yanzhi turned to look at Xie Ruxue, who initially showed an impatient look.
Originally, she wanted Xie Ruxue not to disturb her conversation with her sister, but she saw that Xie Ruxue looked very uneasy.
Knowing Xie Ruxue, she frowned and did not answer Xie Ruxue's question, but asked directly:
"Why are you suddenly asking about Ou Jinghuan's mother? Did you see her just now?"
On the side, Ye Yingran heard Ye Yanzhi's words, and she immediately looked at Xie Ruxue.
Xie Ruxue was shocked. She didn't expect her mother to see through her so easily.
It was impossible for her to hide it any longer, so she stammered:
“I…I’m not sure…it just feels like it.
After all, I have never met Brother Jing Huan’s mother before, and Brother Jing Huan’s mother would never attend such a banquet.
So... I'm not sure if the woman I just saw was..."
Although Ye Yanzhi had met Ou Jinghuan's mother before, she didn't know whether she came to attend today's birthday party.
And she also knew that Ou Jinghuan's mother Xia Shumei
So, after listening to Xie Ruxue's words, she turned her head to look at her sister Ye Yingran beside her and asked curiously:
"Did Ou Jinghuan's mother come today?"
"I'll go ask." Ye Yingran, who arrived at the Ou family's old house at about the same time as Ye Yanzhi, replied, also not knowing the answer.
As soon as Ye Yingran finished speaking, she turned and walked towards her husband Ou Dehui.
After Ye Yingran left, Ye Yanzhi turned around and looked at Xie Ruxue. She stared at Xie Ruxue for two seconds, her expression serious, and asked:
“Whether the person you just saw was Ou Jinghuan’s mother or not, it shouldn’t affect what you are going to do next.
Ru Ru, why do you look so nervous?
Did you do something bad in front of that woman you suspected?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Ruxue, who was once again guessed by Ye Yanzhi, took a deep breath and her body tensed up unconsciously.
Although she knew she shouldn't lie to her mother, she really didn't dare tell her that she hadn't done anything bad in front of that woman.
Instead, she directly and mercilessly complained loudly about the woman who might be Ou Jinghuan's mother.
At this time, Xie Ruxue could only pray in her heart that the old woman she casually found to vent her anger would not be her future mother-in-law.
So, while she prayed nervously, she pretended to be calm, looked straight at Ye Yanzhi, smiled, and whispered:
"No! Of course not! Mother, I'm just curious~
The main thing is that if I really become Brother Jinghuan’s wife and the future mistress of the Ou family, I naturally have to meet my future mother-in-law in advance.
Besides, I had never met Jinghuan’s mentally unstable mother before, so I was actually quite scared.
Also, given her mental state, is she able to attend this kind of party? Will it affect our future plans?"
As soon as Xie Ruxue finished speaking, she stared at the changes in Ye Yanzhi's expression, worried that Ye Yanzhi would continue to question her.
After a while, Xie Ruxue saw that her mother Ye Yanzhi suddenly became serious and the corners of her mouth turned down.
Seeing this, her heart skipped a beat, and the strength with which her upper and lower teeth bit the meat in her mouth gradually increased.
Her heart seemed to be a time bomb that had entered the final countdown, making a "tick-tick" sound.
Time seemed to have pressed the accelerator, causing the sound to gradually speed up, and the "tick-tick-tick" sound became louder.
Just when Xie Ruxue felt the pain in her mouth was unbearable, when she felt her heart was about to explode.
Ye Yanzhi's face was serious and solemn, and his tone was deliberately emphasized. He whispered to Xie Ruxue without any doubt:
"No ifs! You must become Ou Jinghuan's wife and the mistress of the number one wealthy family!
But you should indeed meet your future mother-in-law in advance, and if she really comes, you should take the initiative to say hello.
No matter whether she is crazy or mad, as long as Ou Jinghuan doesn't like you, you must make his mother like you, do you understand?
Ou Jinghuan cares about his mother very much. As long as his mother likes you, after the plan succeeds, Ou Jinghuan will not dare to do anything to you. "
Hearing this, Xie Ruxue did not feel relieved, but became even more uneasy.
She thought that if the woman just now was really Ou Jinghuan's mother, then she must have been completely offended.
In addition, Xie Ruxue had just seen that the woman liked Li Chuyue, so it was obvious that the two had met before.
And who knows, after she left, Li Chuyue might say something bad about her again.
If that were the case, it would be even less likely for her to let the woman who might be Ou Jinghuan's mother fall in love with her.
Xie Ruxue's panic and anxiety exploded instantly when Ye Yingran returned with the news.
Ye Yingran got the news from her husband Ou Dehui. She returned to Xie Ruxue and Ye Yanzhi and said in a low voice:
"Yanzhi, she really came, and I heard she was wearing an emerald green cheongsam.
I just met Yajie. She said that she and her elder brother met Xia Shumei on the stairs and they said hello.
Although it is puzzling, it is not surprising. After all, Mr. Ou always sends her invitations to his birthday parties.
"It's just... I'm quite curious about why that woman who rarely returns to China suddenly came back? And why did she even miraculously attend the birthday party?"
Hearing this, Ye Yanzhi's face was troubled. Her eyes were filled with worry. She looked at Ye Yingran nervously and asked:
"Sister, do you think it will have an impact?"
At this time, Ye Yingran's expression became serious. She thought that her husband's attitude towards her had recently deteriorated because of her sister's family affairs.
Although she also wanted to help her sister Ye Yanzhi's family in order to stabilize her position in the upper class.
However, she could not damage the relationship between her and her husband Ou Dehui for the sake of Ye Yanzhi's family.
In that case, regardless of whether Xie Ruxue could become Ou Jinghuan's wife to help her, she might be implicated.
Therefore, although Ye Yingran did not dare to guarantee that there was no problem, he still reminded in a very firm tone:
"No, it will have an impact, and you must succeed today!
Today is the last chance your brother-in-law gives you. If you fail, I will be powerless to help you."
“…” Every time Ye Yanzhi heard that this was their last chance, she felt extremely nervous and insecure.
Because she was always full of insecurity about her daughter Xie Ruxue, who could never meet her expectations.
At this time, Ye Yanzhi was just like her sister Ye Yingran. She was not sure whether Xie Ruxue could really complete the plan.
But she seemed to be giving herself a hint, pretending to be strong, and said in a very firm tone:
"Okay! We will definitely not let you down, sister!
Ru Ru, did you hear that?"
At this time, Xie Ruxue learned that the old woman in green cheongsam whom she had complained about before was Ou Jinghuan's mother.
And she not only complained about Ou Jinghuan's mother, she also said some words in front of Ou Jinghuan's mother that she is scared to think about now.
The expression of surprise and fear on her face had already frozen, and a feeling of despair suddenly came over her.
At this moment, Xie Ruxue, knowing that she had offended her future mother-in-law, wanted to slap herself hard.
She felt that there was no hope of pleasing her future mother-in-law, and her pupils kept trembling. For a while, she could not hear her mother asking her questions.
Ye Yanzhi and Ye Yingran both noticed Xie Ruxue's abnormal reaction. Ye Yanzhi frowned unhappily, raised his voice, and asked:
"Ruru! What's wrong with you? Are you hiding something from me?!"
