My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 245 - 47 Rui Xuan
Chapter 245: Chapter 47 Rui Xuan
"We should grab something to eat first." Seeing that there were still few guests present, Zheng Cuicui said.
Lin Xiaoguai had no objection, and the two of them got up to find food.
Since the event had just started, the food consisted only of some cold dishes and snacks, and the two merely nibbled enough to fill their stomachs before stopping.
"Are you the new Young Madam of the Han Family?" Suddenly, a young woman came over and questioned Lin Xiaoguai.
She raised an eyebrow. ’New Young Madam’? What kind of title was that? It made it sound as if she was Shen Chi’s stepwife. Pinching a small piece of roll from her plate, Lin Xiaoguai did not spare a glance at the young woman.
Zheng Cuicui was no fool either; how could she fail to see the hostility on the young woman’s face? She picked up a nearby juice and passed it over softly, "Have a drink to moisten your mouth."
Moreover, she was actually familiar with this young woman, Rui Xuan, the eldest daughter of the Rui Family’s third branch, raised poorly by her mother, always arrogant, willful, and power-hungry.
"I’m talking to you, did you hear me?" The ignored Rui Xuan said with a face full of anger.
Lin Xiaoguai elegantly took out an embroidered handkerchief and wiped her mouth, then turned and said, "Miss, are you talking to me?"
Her voice was soft and sweet but made Rui Xuan clench her teeth in rage.
"Are you deaf? Only now you heard what I said!" Rui Xuan said with contempt on her face, "It must be because it’s your first time tasting such delicious food; you were so lost in it."
Hearing this, Zheng Cuicui’s expression changed, but Lin Xiaoguai apologized with a sincere face, "Sorry, I just thought a lady would not rudely interrupt someone’s meal."
"I really thought you were talking to someone else, since my husband’s last name is Shen, and I am more accustomed to being addressed as Mrs. Shen."
Her expression was innocent, but her words left no room for face-saving.
Rui Xuan’s face turned ugly, but instead of exploding, she said happily, "You are not the new Young Madam of the Han Family?" She knew it! That Young Madam was nothing but a country bumpkin.
Despite asking Lin Xiaoguai, her gaze turned toward Zheng Cuicui.
Zheng Cuicui smiled happily, "Miss Rui might not know, my second uncle did come back, but he didn’t change his surname to Han. His foster parents did raise him after all, and we from the Han Family cannot be so heartless, so his current name is Shen Chi." Externally, Shen Chi was both the Second Young Master and the Young Master of the Han Family, but definitely not the third.
"You dare to deceive me!" Rui Xuan looked furiously at Lin Xiaoguai.
"Miss Four, what are you doing?" At this moment, Rui Ying suddenly rushed over and said sternly to Rui Xuan.
"What can I possibly do?" Rui Xuan replied angrily, "I came to see the new Young Madam of the Han Family, do you even need to manage that?"
"Don’t make a scene, or I will have grandmother take care of you." Rui Ying obviously didn’t believe her words and warned her.
This warning seemed effective on Rui Xuan, who turned pale, glared at Rui Ying, and cursed, "A villain in power!"
After saying so, she obediently left.
"What has gotten into her?" Zheng Cuicui breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Rui Ying, asking.
She had been a guest at the Rui Family in the past and knew plenty about Miss Rui’s temper; she was genuinely worried she might cause a scandal regardless. Her own reputation in the upper echelons of the Capital had already been tarnished, but she couldn’t bear to see her sister-in-law dragged down too.
"Let’s not talk about it. She saw your younger uncle somewhere, took an instant liking to him, and has been inquiring about him. She threw a tantrum at home when she learned your uncle was already married. I thought she had given up, but a few days ago, when she learned you were bringing Xiao Guai here, she revived her interest. I had a bad feeling about it, and as it turns out, she indeed hasn’t given up," Rui Ying said, her head aching.
Although everyone knew that only the fourth daughter of the Rui Family was troublesome and her other sisters had good reputations outside, inevitably, some would splash dirty water on them because of Rui Xuan.
Not to mention, in the future when they go to their husband’s family, having such a sister from their natal family would lower their standing.
Hearing this, Lin Xiaoguai felt even worse. Why did Shen Chi always attract mentally challenged women? Before, there were Xu Meimei and Lu Rong, and now there was Rui Xuan. Could they not live peacefully anymore?
Zheng Cuicui also looked displeased, "Rui Xuan, with such a reputation, has the audacity to set her sights on my younger uncle?"
It was not that she was being harsh, but Rui Xuan’s reputation was indeed notorious; just half a year ago, she almost caused a university lecturer to divorce, forcing the man to return to his hometown with his family. The Han Family was already more prominent than the Rui Family, and Rui Xuan’s father was the least accomplished among the Rui sons. How thick-skinned must she be to even think of Shen Chi?
