Chapter 622
Then she said to Bai Lanwu, “Lanwu, I heard from dad that your adopted daughter is engaged to Peiluan’s son. I couldn’t believe it at first, but it turns out it’s true. You and Peiluan are really destined for each other. Even though you’re half-sisters, you ended up becoming in-laws. Thankfully, though, she’s your adopted daughter, if she were your biological daughter, wouldn’t they be cousins…”
Ye Xingguang, who was sitting nearby, was totally stunned: “”
Her mom and mother-in-law are half-sisters? The big nuisance is her so-called cousin?
Even Tang Zhou had a shocked expression on his face: “!!!!!!!”
Those few elite ladies who hadn’t gone far also overheard the conversation. Half-sisters with the same father? The old elder of the Bai family had only one son from his later wife. Where could a half-sister come from? Could it be, that woman is the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family?
Those ladies couldn’t help but turn their heads to take another look at Bai Lanwu; their previous eagerness was replaced by disgust.
...
The wives of the official families despise illegitimate daughters the most. Who would have thought the Bai family would have one, and she even adopted a daughter who became the official wife of the Bai family’s eldest son, how uncomfortable this arrangement must be for Bai Peiluan?
Bai Lanwu sat in her seat and lazily glanced at her younger sister across the table: “Qiaochu, long time no see. You still haven’t changed a bit.”
Yang Qiaochu, the wife of Bai Qiuchen, who is the son born to the elder of the family by his second wife. Bai Lanwu had interacted with her before she ran away from home. She didn’t like Yang Qiaochu and the feeling was mutual.
Thinking that Bai Lanwu was saying that she hadn’t aged a day, Yang Qiaochu’s face was filled with a satisfied smile. “Lanwu, where have you been living these years? Dad told me you’re married to a fisherman and settled on some remote island, is this gentleman your husband?”
Yang Qiaochu’s eyes fell on Song Chuanqi, “I heard that my brother-in-law recently had surgery, how’s his health?”
Song Chuanqi didn’t answer Yang Qiaochu’s question and stared at her: “And you are…”
Bai Lanwu whispered, “This is my sister-in-law, the one I mentioned before.” Actually, she is my sister-in-law in law.
Song Chuanqi thought for a moment, “Seems like you have mentioned her before. As you said, she is indeed not someone who could really impress. I misunderstood you.”
“Brother-in-law, you!” Yang Qiaochu’s face instantly went pale, she was so angry that she didn’t know what to say.
Ye Xingguang suppressed her surprise, immediately catching up with her father’s move: “Aunt, it’s really your honor to be complimented by my father. He rarely praises anyone.”
Tang Zhou meditated: “Dear Aunt, I also think Uncle Song’s praise of you is truly describing you as a celestial being. Such a character is rarely seen among us mortals, wouldn’t you agree?”noveldrama
Qing never really liked this little aunt either. Tang Zhou quickly decided to take sides.
Yang Qiaochu’s face went from green to white out of anger. She was not in a position to lose her temper in such a setting. She tightened her grip on her handbag, before storming off in a huff, really, such a boorish man like a country fisherman, he has no manners at all!
Humph, everyone has their fate, some people, even if they’re born as a phoenix, would willingly degrade themselves and marry a fisherman. A downtrodden phoenix is indeed no better than a chicken!
