Chapter 45: Eldest Uncle’s Family
“Brother-in-law, when will Little Xuan arrive?”
Lin Yue walked up to the chatting crowd and asked curiously.
“I don’t know either!
I just made a phone call and told him to bring Bingbing back once.”
Shen Haiyang spread his hands helplessly, His face carried a look that said, “Even if you ask me, whom can I ask?”
As a father, he felt it was improper to meddle with the young couple’s affairs.
He could not keep calling again and again to rush them; that would be too inappropriate.
“Haiyang, who is Bingbing?”
Shen Chengyang looked at Shen Haiyang with a puzzled face.
“And you still call yourself eldest uncle; you don’t even know Little Xuan got married!”
Lin Yue rolled her eyes involuntarily, Her expression seemed to say, “You are really an unqualified eldest uncle.”
In her heart, a judgment already formed.
Lin Yue believed Eldest Uncle’s family were absolute snobs toward Shen Qingxuan, They usually looked down on their whole family, She had long grown sick of it.
They said with their mouths that they came back to visit the old mother, But in reality, They returned to show off their son.
“When did that happen?
Why do I know nothing at all?”
Shen Chengyang looked left and right, looking utterly puzzled.
Their family stayed outside doing business all year round.
This time they returned, Because the son he was proudest of entered Jiangbei First Group and even became a supervisor.
“Could it be Yunshu ditched him, so he got angry and randomly married someone?”
Chen Fengjiao, Shen Chengyang’s wife, curled her lips slightly, her tone full of mockery.
From the very beginning, she felt in her heart that Shen Qingxuan was unworthy of Chu Yunshu.
In her mind, A beautiful girl like Chu Yunshu ought to become her own daughter-in-law.
So this time when they returned, She deliberately visited Chu Yunshu’s home, After some discreet probing, She learned the two no longer contacted each other, She felt indescribably pleased.
“You! Stop talking nonsense!”
When Shen Chengyang saw the faces around him change slightly, He cried “bad” inwardly and hurried to smooth things over.
A broad smile spread across his face:
“Ay, let’s not take it to heart, It’s not easy for us to gather; staying friendly is best.”
Only then did Chen Fengjiao realize she had let too much slip, An unnatural look flashed across her face, but she soon returned to normal.
She gave a forced smile and said, “I spoke without thinking just now and said the wrong thing; please don’t mind.”
Everyone present saw through it as though looking into a bright mirror, Who did not know what kind of people that couple were?
It was obvious one played the good cop while the other played the bad cop.
“Mom is really something; why didn’t she call to tell us about such a matter?”
Shen Chengyang spoke with a hint of complaint, his eyes turned toward Mother Shen.
Mother Shen opened her mouth yet still did not know what to say.
She sighed helplessly inside: Didn’t I call?
I called and no one answered, okay!
Toward this eldest son, she felt nothing but helplessness.
He never cared about the elderly couple in daily life, Whenever he asked proactively, he certainly needed something from them.
Just when the group fell into an awkward silence, Lin Yun walked out of the room.
Her steps were light, and her expression looked slightly fatigued.
“Sis, sit here.”
Lin Yue, sharp-eyed, first spotted her sister and greeted her warmly.
As soon as Lin Yun sat down beside her little sister, the opposite Chen Fengjiao spoke impatiently:
“Sister-in-law, what business does your daughter-in-law’s family run?”
When she first married in, she felt jealous of this prettier sister-in-law.
However, as Shen Chengyang’s business grew larger, She gained plenty of time to maintain and dress herself.
The current Chen Fengjiao felt full of superiority and looked down on Lin Yun, who busied herself with housework all day.
In her view, a woman ought to put beauty first, Rather than become a weary housewife, And finally turn herself into a yellow-faced woman.
“Humph! Bingbing’s family is very rich; on the engagement day alone, more than ten luxury cars came.”
Seeing her sister-in-law looking embarrassed, Lin Yue refuted disdainfully at once.
After hearing that, Chen Fengjiao’s face filled with doubt, and she curled her lips.
Even bragging should have a limit, right?
Shen Qingxuan was just a kid not yet graduated and couldn’t even handle Chu Yunshu, How could a daughter from a wealthy family take a fancy to him?

“Mom, is what she said true?”
Shen Chengyang also looked doubtful, staring straight at Mother Shen, He hoped to get the answer from her.
Mother Shen sighed helplessly and nodded lightly.
“No way! Could the other party be some old woman in her fifties?”
She usually browsed plenty of outrageous news online, So she instinctively thought in that direction.
“Humph, you are the old woman in her fifties! Our Bingbing is only twenty-something.”
When Lin Yue heard that, she flew into a rage and snapped back immediately.
When Chen Fengjiao heard herself called an old woman, her face instantly darkened as though dripping water.
She hated most when others mentioned her age.
Even though she spent much money on maintenance and looked just over thirty, Age was still a fact she could not avoid.
“You…”
Chen Fengjiao glared, pointing at Lin Yue, too angry to speak.
Yet she knew she could never out-argue Lin Yue, If she was careless, she would be refuted even more miserably.
So she suppressed her anger and aimed again at the honest Lin Yun family.
“Little Xuan didn’t become a live-in son-in-law, did he?”
Chen Fengjiao spoke sarcastically, a mocking smile on her lips.
When Shen Haiyang and Lin Yun heard this, their faces instantly turned very ugly.
But with the two elders beside them, they dared not explode and could only suppress their anger.
“Enough, that’s quite enough.”
Father Shen’s aging voice rang out at the right moment, It carried undeniable authority and interrupted Chen Fengjiao’s sharp words.
“Humph!”
The anger in Chen Fengjiao’s heart had not dispersed, so she snorted coldly.
Still unwilling, she nudged her son Shen Qingshu with her elbow.
How could Shen Qingshu fail to understand his mother’s meaning? She wanted him to salvage her pride.
Moreover, as a junior, even if his words went too far, the elders would just treat it as childish.
At worst they would scold him a few words and let it pass.
“Aunt Yun, what business does sister-in-law’s family do?”
Shen Qingshu wore what seemed a gentle smile, and his tone showed just the right amount of concern.
On the surface, he looked truly curious and without ulterior motive.
Watching her son’s performance, Chen Fengjiao praised him silently in her heart.
He really was the son she carefully cultivated, His words hit the point, And were so tactful, They suited her heart perfectly.
Lin Yun’s expression stayed calm, Her eyes showed the tolerance unique to elders.
She naturally would not argue over such groundless questions with a junior.
She only shook her head lightly, And answered in a gentle voice, “We don’t know.”
Hearing this, Shen Qingshu felt slightly disappointed.
But how could he give up so easily?
His mother still kept a stomach full of anger waiting to be vented.
He lowered his head a little and frowned lightly.
He seemed to think seriously, But in fact he plotted how to pry out more information.
Suddenly.
His eyes lit up, and an idea flashed through his mind.
“Right!”
Didn’t Lin Yue just say that more than ten luxury cars arrived during the engagement?
With such a parade, the other family must be rich or noble.
As a manager in the personnel department of Lu Group in Jiang City, He mixed around Jiangbei’s business circle and enjoyed some face there.
Those influential big shots, even if he didn’t know all of them, he at least knew a bit.
As long as he asked the other party’s name, he might trace their background, Then he could suppress Shen Qingxuan’s family.
“Aunt Yun, may I ask again what sister-in-law’s name is?”
Shen Qingshu spoke once more, still wearing that seemingly harmless smile.
His tone became even more sincere, making it hard to refuse.
Lin Yun pondered for a moment.
Although she felt a little puzzled, She thought it was not a secret she could not tell, So she answered softly, “Hmm… Her name is Jiang Yubing.”
Jiang Yubing…
Shen Qingshu repeated the name silently in his heart.
The moment he heard the name, a strange sense of familiarity surged up.
He felt he heard it somewhere, But he could not recall it for the moment, That inability to grasp the clue made him feel somewhat irritated.
