At this time, both men and women were surrounding the old lady to comfort her. After a long time, the old lady held Lu Yichen's hand and walked into the house while saying, "My Chenchen, it's good that you're back. It's good that you're back."
Everyone followed the crowd to the house. From the beginning until the end, no one said a word to Kang Xiaoqiao. From the moment Lu Yichen appeared, he was surrounded and kept talking. Kang Xiaoqiao could see clearly that although Lu Yichen was still calm on the surface, but... He was still very excited.
The excitement of seeing his relatives and being cared for, Kang Xiaoqiao watched silently. She didn't have so many relatives, and she had never been treated like this.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about her at this moment. Kang Xiaoqiao didn't believe that no one had seen her. Was this a show of strength? Or was it that his family didn't welcome her?
It could be said that Kang Xiaoqiao was very embarrassed at this moment. What could be more humiliating than treating you as air?
If it was any other girl, she would probably be trembling with anger at this moment. Or if she was angry, she would turn around and run away. But no matter what, she would leave a bad impression.
Kang Xiaoqiao had a stubborn temper. The more others wanted to humiliate her, the more she didn't want them to get what they wanted. Seeing that everyone had left and no one called her, Kang Xiaoqiao narrowed her eyes.
When they reached the door, Lu Yichen's aunt couldn't stand it anymore. She said slowly, "Mom, where's Chenchen's wife? Look at our memories. We forgot everything when we saw Chenchen."
When the old lady heard that, she immediately thought of it. "Yeah."
However, her face darkened again. "Chenchen, you said you were going to marry her, but you didn't say anything. You married her without even letting us see her."
"We've been here for a long time, but she still doesn't greet me. How rude."
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, a middle-aged woman with a smile as big as a flower appeared. She even had a devilish look on her face as she said, "That's right, mom. This wild girl outside doesn't have any manners at all. She's already seen her elders, yet she still doesn't come to greet them. Don't tell me she's still waiting for us to greet her?"
The person who spoke was Lu Yichen's second aunt, Wu Xiumei. After she finished speaking, seeing that no one was replying, only the old lady frowned. She couldn't help but look at another woman in her thirties and ask, "Third sister-in-law, don't you agree?"
This woman in her thirties was not tall. She looked a little shy and had a timid personality. After hearing this, she said in a low voice after a long while, "Maybe, maybe. This child is afraid. She is afraid of strangers? Isn't that sister-in-law?"
The person who was replaced by sister-in-law was called Liu Fengxia. She was the first person to mention Kang Xiaoqiao. She was well-dressed, had a dignified temperament, and had a steady personality. She was also a beauty. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "That's right. She just came to our place, so she is not used to it. Chenchen, go and bring your wife over. Let your grandmother take a look."
It was only then that Lu Yichen realized that Kang Xiaoqiao was not in the crowd. He could not help but frown. How did she disappear in just a short while?
However, in the face of second aunt Wu Xiumei's blunt words, Lu Yichen's face turned cold. "Second aunt, please mind your words. When it comes to upbringing, you have to look at the person. It has little to do with where you come from."
Lu Yichen retorted coldly. That protective intent was too obvious, and the people around could not help but be stunned.
Wu Xiumei's face instantly turned red. Then, she glared at Lu Yichen and said, "What? Did I say something wrong? She..."
Before she could finish, she was glared at by a cold-faced middle-aged man beside her. Although his voice was soft, everyone heard him. "Shut up."
Wu Xiumei was so angry that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. At the same time, she hated the two of them.
Meanwhile, Lu Yichen furrowed his brows. He was a little excited when he saw his family just now. If he didn't investigate for a moment, how did this girl disappear? Lu Yichen narrowed his eyes and glanced around. Then, he stopped at the tail of the car.
In this woman's world, the enemy was always a woman. None of the male relatives of Lu Yichen's family spoke rudely. However, this woman was no good. That Wu Xiumei was someone who looked down on others. Of course, there was a story behind this.
She once licked her lips and wanted to introduce her niece to Lu Yichen. However, Lu Yichen did not even look at her and directly rejected her. She was a petty person and held a grudge. She had never had the chance to pick a fight with Lu Yichen.
Now, Lu Yichen had slapped her even more. He actually married a vulgar country girl. He would rather marry such a broken down family than look at her niece. When she heard the news, she was so angry that she almost died.
Hmph, she did not believe that he could marry a flower that talked about whether a man was good or not in front of everyone. What kind of good person could she be?
She was most likely knocked out after entering the courtyard and didn't dare to come out to see anyone. Of course, she also saw Kang Xiaoqiao, but she directly ignored it. How could a village girl be so good-looking? She might even be dark.
She was most likely a relative of some family in the courtyard who brought her back from the train station.
There were many people who thought like that. Only the second cousin who picked up Kang Xiaoqiao and the others was sneakily smiling.
After eldest aunt Liu Fengxia's words fell, there was a moment of silence. Kang Xiaoqiao didn't have any plans to come out, and just as the old lady looked unhappy, Lu Yichen spoke.
"Xiaoqiao, what are you doing? Why aren't you coming over?"
After a five-second pause, he shouted again, "Kang Xiaoqiao?"
Just as he stopped, he heard a clear and cool voice. "I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm taking something."
"Yichen, come over and help me take it."
As soon as Kang Xiaoqiao's voice fell, everyone in the courtyard was stunned. This voice sounded confident and relaxed. Where was there a hint of timidity and fear?
Only then did Lu Yichen remember that their luggage was still in the trunk of the car. However, there were nannies to take care of such matters, so was there a need for them to do anything?
However, since Kang Xiaoqiao had spoken, there was no reason for Lu Yichen not to go.
Kang Xiaoqiao did not expect Lu Yichen to directly go against his aunt for her sake. Moreover, he was so merciless. The pent-up anger from before had mostly dissipated because of Lu Yichen's sincere protection. In her heart, she thought, 'Hmph, at least he still has a conscience.'
However, this matter was not over yet. All good men needed to be trained. She did not want to experience such an awkward scene today. Many times, whether a woman could gain the attention of her in-laws or not was decided by a man's attitude.
Kang Xiaoqiao narrowed her eyes. When she saw Lu Yichen coming over, her big eyes looked at him up and down. Then, she put the things on him, turned around, and swiftly closed the trunk with a bang.
Then, she walked out from the back of the car with a smile on her face. In her hands were two gift boxes that were wrapped in kraft paper and tied with hemp rope.
