Chapter 231 Who Is The Real Boss Here
James Feng remained silent, he didn't say anything. What Meijuan Feng demanded was that not only James but also Leiting Feng and Xiuhua Du introduced boyfriend for her.
Xiuhua hadn't said anything, while Leiting scolded her and said, "This is really childish. You should be reserved and act like a fair lady. Don't you have any social or life circle? Don't tell me no one likes you."
What he said was blame, but also warning. She needed to notice the distinction when looking at the people who were in her life. As a women, the happiest thing in life was you know there was someone loving you.
Generally, for matters under heaven, those closely involved cannot see as clearly as those outside. When you were young, you always pursued the so-called feeling and love. But when you were older, you would find things like that were unreliable.
Hearing those words, Meijuan suddenly became broken-hearted. She let go of Xiuhua's hand and pouted angrily, "You never understand me, how can I receive happiness?" Look at her grievances, just like a little unconvinced.
It had touched Christy deeply to see this. She couldn't help thinking of her parents. She used to be a very affectionate and dependent little girl, she believed her parents could do anything. After disillusioned, she had been through many tribulations.
Xiuhua couldn't bear to see Meijuan so misersble. She took Meijuan's hand and said gently, "Silly child. What's your rush? How can we possibly not care about you?"
At the moment, she became a warm old lady, offered Meijuan comfort and kinship
Leiting thought it was about time. Since James called him back, he must have something to say. He had better not waste time chatting.
"Well, let's go to the office, James. I have a couple of questions to ask you." Leiting said with great seriousness.
James and Christy were surprised. What was this situation?
Leiting came over here actively, now he seemed like being called by James. James had got a bad feeling about this, but couldn't help it. After all, his opponent was his grandpa.
Since Leiting was here, a few things must be said. James had not much fear in mind, he had to face Leiting with calm.
"OK." replied James tonelessly. Then he turned back to Christy and said softly, "Wait for me here." He said as he shook her hand and made eye contact.
Christy knew what he meant from his expression. So she nodded solemnly.
Anyway, Christy had dealt with his family before and thought she could manage it by herself.
"What a lovely couple you make!" said Meijuan jealously.
Meijuan was devoured by envy and hatred. Xiuhua was a cultured woman, she saw everything but did not say a single word.
While James sneered at her and said coldly, "You should learn from your sister-in-law. I hope you can find your Mr. Right soon."
Meijuan couldn't argue with that. She could only wrinkle her nose and bear it.
"The overall quality of a woman is not formed in a day. A short-lived pleasure doesn't tell the whole story. You young folks cannot see through anything." said Xiuhua without trace.
James said nothing any more. Anyway, as long as Christy could act according to principle, nothing else matters.
Christy looked at James with firm and affectionate eyes, as if to say: Don't worry, everything will be all right.
"Let's go." Leiting said and made towards the study.
James said no more and followed him into the room.
The three women were left alone. Christy thought she was no match for Xiuhua and Meijuan. But perspective taking, they were James's relatives. There was no need for them to fight against her. She had better get along with them in a much gentler way.
As long as James and Leiting disappeared in the room, Meijuan came over and said to Christy, "Might I ask the favour, Christy?
Christy at this moment smiled and said, "Sure. Go ahead, please."
One must face a sea of troubles and bear it. And Christy had to face up to the fact. What she could do now was try to relieve anxieties.
Xiuhua observed them carefully, she had the initiative anyway. She just needed to get the timing right.
"Will you feel inferior before your male god?" asked Meijuan cynically.
She wanted to know Christy's mental processes and meant to cause her pain. No one could choose the family he was born into, work hard was likely to be futile.
A lot of times, life is not fair, you had to learn to accept it. A wealthy man possessed more authority and status than a poor man. Even if the poor gained success finally, you couldn't imagine the hardships he had experienced.
Meijuan's cruel remarks cut Christy deeply. Though Christy wanted to say something, what else could she say? She must face it.
Christy lowered her head slightly as if to show sincerity. "Yes, but I love him. I will do absolutely anything for him. I am willing to bear all the pain." said she affectionately.
Whether Meijuan understood her or not, Christy just want to express how she was feeling. After all, she rarely had an opportunity to declare her love for James.
