Grandma Xi has heard about Su Jin from her subordinates. She didn’t believe it at the time so she sent someone to look into it. But, after seeing Su Jin’s information, the old lady thought that it was impossible, so she didn’t take it seriously. She didn’t expect that he would bring her back today. She said unhappily,

“Chenxiao, I’ve heard about this girl too. She’s still in school, and she’s a piece of trash who gets zero marks for every exam. How could a girl like this compare to Shangguan? Why did you marry her?”

When Su Jin heard this, she secretly wiped the non-existent cold sweat on her forehead. These old couple of the Xi family were truly scary. She thought that they would be the kind of elders who were easy to talk to, but they turned out to be so bossy!

Thankfully, she did not plan to spend her life with the devil, so she was not too sad. She was just a little disappointed for being looked down on. She was clearly not that bad.

When Shangguan Ting’er heard the old lady’s words, she smiled mockingly while pretending to be very sensible. She was a young miss of a prestigious family, so she was always sensible and well-behaved. She defended Xi Chenxiao,

“Grandma, don’t talk about brother Xiao like that. He might just be impulsive. Try persuading Brother Xiao and he will change his mind.”

Xi Chenxiao’s expression was cold when he heard this. He pulled Su Jin into his arms, announcing to everyone that she was his wife. His face was still expressionless as he said coldly,

“Grandma, Grandpa, I like this girl very much. And I like her for her, not for some so-called results, so I married her!”

Su Jin’s heart was filled with warmth when she heard this. She did not expect the devil to say something like this. Her heart raced but she did not know if the devil’s words were true…

Shangguan Ting’er’s expression turned ugly when she heard this. She had worked so hard at everything for Xi Chenxiao, the boy that she had admired since young. She said in disbelief,

“Brother Xiao, stop fooling around. Everyone knows that you’ve always hated women. You won’t even let women get close to you! You must be doing this because your grandparents forced you to marry me. This is you rebelling, isn’t it?”

The old couple came to a realization when they heard this. She’s right. Their grandson had always been very independent and hated being controlled by others. He was doing this in rebellion. Grandpa Xi added,

“That’s right, you little brat. You would do anything to avoid getting married.”

Su Jin sat at the side, feeling very bored. This was not her fight anyway. She just had to be a quiet bystander, but she was so bored. Xi Chenxiao also saw Su Jin’s boredom and gave her an apple as he replied plainly,

“If you still don’t believe me, I’ll get Xi Shi to bring you the marriage certificate right now.”

Su Jin did not care what they said. She was so tired after a grueling afternoon and everything she had gone through that evening. She was already hungry so when Xi Chenxiao gave her an apple, she peeled it carefully, playing her part as the quiet bystander.

When Shangguan Ting’er heard Xi Chenxiao’s words, her face instantly turned pale. How was this possible? She had done so much to be worthy of Xi Chenxiao and she couldn’t even compare with a mute? She lowered her head and said softly,

“Brother Xiao, how could you marry another woman? Didn’t you know…”

Shangguan Ting’er could not accept this. She was so sad that she could not complete her sentence. She had waited for Xi Chenxiao for so many years, and had given up so much to become Madam Xi, and this was what she got?

Grandpa Xi was also stumped by what Xi Chenxiao said. He did not know what to say. Even if he did not want to believe it, looking at Xi Chenxiao’s expression, he knew that he was not lying.

The living room was eerily quiet. Only the sound of Su Jin eating an apple could be heard. This created a very awkward atmosphere. Everyone looked at Su Jin eating the apple, how could this girl still eat?

Su Jin realized that everyone was looking at her. She awkwardly swallowed the apple in her mouth and looked at Xi Chenxiao. She kept complaining in her heart. Why was everyone looking at her? Why didn’t they continue talking? She did not want to join their argument; she just wanted to be a quiet bystander!
