Chapter 44: A Family Protecting Their Child 

The person who questioned Ji Xiaoyue was called Fu Kui, she was the granddaughter of Mr. Fu’s eldest brother.

Mr. Fu had five brothers, and he had many descendants, but none of them were as successful as Fu Liye.

Because of this, they all wanted to come and see when they knew Fu Liye had a girlfriend.

Fu Kui was scolded by Ji Xiaoyue in front of everyone, she was so angry that she stood up from her chair and pointed at Ji Xiaoyue angrily, “You have no manners, no decency, you’re just a country bumpkin. How can a woman like you marry my cousin?”

As soon as she said this, no one spoke.

Fu Kui’s mother, Liu Hong, also realized something and pulled her back, “Xiao Kui, she’s your cousin’s girlfriend, how can you say that?”

Fu Kui was spoiled, she sneered, “She’s nothing like that, she’s not as good as my sister Baili.”

The sister Baili she was talking about was a woman who had been childhood sweethearts with Fu Liye. She had just returned to China last year, and everyone thought they would be together.

Ji Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes slightly, she didn’t argue with Fu Kui in public.

No need!

These were all relatives, she couldn’t expect them to speak for her. In this kind of situation, it was better for her to be the weaker party.

As soon as she said that, Liu Hong’s face changed, she hurriedly stopped her, “Fu Kui, what are you talking about?”

Liu Baili was a relative from Liu Hong’s side of the family. They had raised Liu Baili by her side because they wanted to match the two children together.

Originally, it was reasonable for Fu Kui to look down on Ji Xiaoyue. She disliked Ji Xiaoyue for not going to college and for not being worthy of Fu Liye. But once she mentioned Liu Baili, everyone was a person with a hundred and eighty minds, and their thoughts were exposed.

Wasn’t it just that her family member didn’t marry Fu Liye, and now she’s making a fuss here?

Fu Kui was spoiled, how could she listen to her mother? She stood up, walked to Ji Xiaoyue, and looked down at her, “My sister Baili is not only a graduate of Tsinghua and Peking University, but she also studied abroad for three years. How can you compare to my sister Baili, you country bumpkin. You should look in the mirror and see what you look like.”

As soon as she said this, not only Liu Hong was anxious, but even the surrounding relatives who were watching the show changed their faces.

“Fu Kui, you’re going too far.”

Liu Hong also blushed with anxiety, “Xiao Kui, are you crazy?”

At this time, Fu Liye, his parents, and the old man came down with the children. They had just heard the conversation.

Fu Liye’s face changed drastically, he quickly walked to Ji Xiaoyue’s side, “Xiaoyue!”

His face turned cold, he pointed at the door and said to Fu Kui, “Get out, who allowed you to humiliate my girlfriend in my house. You said she’s nothing, what are you?”

Fu Liye was usually cold, and he was the most outstanding child of the Fu family, so the Fu family members all gave him face.

He rarely said such harsh words.

These words were so heavy that they were tantamount to turning his face on Fu Kui.

Fu Kui was a little afraid of Fu Liye, hearing his words, her face turned pale, she cried out, “Mom, my cousin is scolding me.”

Liu Hong’s face was also extremely ugly, she wanted to say something to salvage the situation, but the old man spoke.

“Does the eldest daughter-in-law have any opinions about my granddaughter-in-law? I thought you all came uninvited to congratulate Liye, but it turns out you came to dislike my granddaughter-in-law. I like my granddaughter-in-law very much, it’s not your turn to dislike her.” The old man said coldly.

He had a natural air of authority, as soon as he said this, everyone’s faces turned extremely ugly.

This was tantamount to kicking them out.

Fu Kui was so scared that she didn’t even dare to cry.

She just didn’t like Ji Xiaoyue, she wanted to humiliate her, to let her know that she wasn’t worthy of their Fu family.

“Fu Kui, do you think you are superior to Xiaoyue, or do you think you are from a better background than Xiaoyue? A good background is not your ability, great ability is your ability. Second Grandpa is waiting to see your bright future, don’t let me down.” Mr. Fu was protective, especially of his grandson’s chosen girl.

He always believed in his grandson’s judgment.

His grandson was twenty-eight and hadn’t found a girlfriend, it wasn’t because there were no women who wanted to marry him, it was because his grandson had high standards.

The girl his grandson chose must not be ordinary.

Bullying his granddaughter-in-law in front of him was tantamount to slapping him in the face.

Moreover, his grandson had finally found a girl he liked, if she was chased away, where would he cry?

Liu Hong’s face was also pale.

The old man’s words directly made her lose face.

Because all the Fu family children had gone to college, only Fu Kui had gone to a technical school. The old man knew Fu Kui’s situation, and the words “bright future” were a humiliation.

She looked at Fu Kui and said coldly, “Go home!”

Fu Kui was so scared that she didn’t dare to say a word, she was silently dragged away by Liu Hong.

After this incident, the other members of the Fu family didn’t dare to speak up anymore.

The old man’s attitude had already proven everything.

No matter what this girl was like, the old man liked her, even Fu Liye’s parents had no right to disagree.

Now, everyone’s eyes on Ji Xiaoyue changed. They were all wondering: What kind of ability does this girl have to have the old man’s support?

Ji Xiaoyue was also surprised that the old man would support her.

After all, her college placement had been taken by Ji Qingqing, and the Ji Dahai family had nothing to do with her. A family like Fu Liye’s could find any kind of girl they wanted.

The old man walked to Ji Xiaoyue’s side and said softly, “Girl, I’m sorry you had to go through that. I didn’t expect so many people to come to the house today.”

Ji Xiaoyue calmly and confidently shook her head at the old man, “It’s okay.”

…

Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the Fu family became heavy.

No one in the Fu family dared to say anything more.

The old man was very kind, he always encouraged Ji Xiaoyue to eat.

After dinner, the old man had the driver send Ji Xiaoyue back to the guest house. When she left, he held Ji Xiaoyue’s hand and said, “Xiaoyue, don’t take today’s incident to heart. My family really likes you. The girl Liye likes must be the best.”

Ji Xiaoyue looked at the old man, she was a little moved, “Old Master, thank you.”

The old man asked Fu Liye to see her off.

In the car, Fu Liye apologized to Ji Xiaoyue with guilt.

Ji Xiaoyue smiled, “Actually, they’re right. My family background is far inferior to yours, I’m climbing way above my station. I also want to ask you, why did you choose me? Because of the two children?”

Fu Liye looked at Ji Xiaoyue, “No! I just feel like I want to marry you. I had this feeling the second time I saw you. I’ve been introduced to other girls before, but I didn’t have this feeling when I saw them.”

Ji Xiaoyue looked at Fu Liye quietly, smiling, “That’s good! You have good taste.”

Her words instantly eased the awkward and tense atmosphere in the car.

Fu Liye smiled foolishly at Ji Xiaoyue, “You’re not angry? They said such things about you.”

Ji Xiaoyue raised her eyebrows and said calmly, “I’m not as bad as they said. I know I’m excellent, why should I be angry?

Only when someone hits a sore spot will they jump up and get angry.

They’re wrong, what’s there to be angry about?”

Fu Liye heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled again.

See, his Xiaoyue is different from other girls.
