206 Go Wrong

During dinner, everyone’s focus was naturally on Liang Na, who was getting married on the sixth day of the new year.

Liang De was praising his precious little daughter as soon as he opened his mouth. His stepmother also smiled and agreed, saying that his daughter had good taste. Few people noticed that the smile on Liang Jie’s face was as stiff as a mask.

Only Liang Wen.

“How’s Brother-in-law recently? Is he busy with work?” Liang Wen heard this person was so busy he often didn’t go home and didn’t even give a phone call.

A woman’s sixth sense must have detected something. Liang Jie was so anxious.

In the beginning, as soon as her husband returned home, Liang Jie confronted him. Later, Liang Jie started to lose her temper hysterically and threw things around.

But what about the other party? He did things his own way. He felt Liang Jie couldn’t stop him.

Liang Jie also wanted to find someone to talk to, but she was afraid of being gossiped about, so she kept it in her heart. She didn’t expect it would still be spread and felt a little embarrassed.

However, at this point, Liang Jie swallowed her saliva, glanced at Liang De, and laughed dryly. “It’s alright. Aren’t all the people who make money busy?” In fact, she knew very well that her husband had not earned any money.

At this time, Liang Jie began to turn everyone’s attention to the child, “Our Xiao Yi got another outstanding student certificate this year!”

Liang Jie nudged Xiao Yi and gave her a look. “You should wish everyone a Happy New Year.”

This was what they had agreed on in advance. At this moment, Xiao Yi was about to start saying some beautiful words.

First, he wished Liang De a Happy New Year, then Liang Wen’s family, and then Liang Na. Liang Jie had calculated that once she collected the red packet money this time, she would be able to collect the tuition fees for the second academic year.

Xiao Yi stood up unwillingly, looked at the ceiling, and began to recite the “speech” that Liang Jie prepared for her.

“Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year. May you have, a prosperous New Year… I’ll study hard next year and be the most obedient child…” The more she said, the more smiles appeared on Liang De’s face. In the end, his face was full of wrinkles from smiling. He wanted to take Xiao Yi into his arms. “Good, Grandpa’s good granddaughter! You even got a big award this year. Here, this is your red packet!”

Liang Jie was faster than Xiao Yi. She stood up immediately and took the money from Liang De. She quickly stuffed it into her bag and then returned to her smiling face.

Chuchu pouted her lips. What was the big deal? She was a model student too. However, she wasn’t angry at all. Xiao Yi was her good friend now, and she was proud of her.

Next, Xiao Yi gives a New Year’s greeting to Liang Wen’s family. However, Xiao Yi looked at Chuchu, then at Liang Wen, and stammered, unable to say anything.

They were good friends.

Xiao Yi knew what her mother was going to do. She didn’t dare to look at Liang Jie. She bit her lip, stood up, and sat down again.

“Say it,” Liang Jie smiled encouragingly on the surface, but in fact, she was clenching her teeth. “Have you forgotten what Mom taught you at home just now?”

Last year, she had lost New Year’s money. This time, the things that Liang Jie asked Xiao Yi to read were terrible.

It could be said that Liang Jie put a lot of effort into this text. On the surface, it was just polite words from a sensible child, but she was forcing them to step by step. If they didn’t take out the money, they wouldn’t be able to get out of the situation.

When she was done, she asked Xiao Yi to read it out once, and Xiao Yi did as she was told.

At first, Liang Jie was not satisfied. She taught her how to read it as if she was rehearsing, “Aunt, we are blood relatives!” Liang Jie raised one of her arms and tapped Xiao Yi’s head with the other. “Do you know what blood relatives are? It’s only natural for her to give you New Year’s money! You need to have some feelings, don’t be like a zombie.”

Even when it came to forgetting affection, she felt that she was right. She didn’t believe that Qu Zhi wouldn’t react after hearing this.

She didn’t expect Xiao Yi to screw up this time.

However, it didn’t matter. Liang Jie had already memorized the script. “Dear Aunt, Uncle…” She helps Xiao Yi recite the greeting with a big smile on her face.

“Dear Aunt, Uncle…” Xiao Yi’s voice became softer and softer.

Liang Jie was anxious, and her eyes were bloodshot. She pinched Xiao Yi’s thigh under the table. Xiao Yi was in so much pain that she burst into tears and cried.

“What’s wrong? Why are you crying?” Liang De pushed his chair away and wanted to hold his precious granddaughter.

Seeing her sister cry, Sisi also began to pout.

The table was in a mess. Xiao Yi knew that he couldn’t stay here any longer and pulled Chuchu wanting to run out.

In the end, Liang Jie’s slap landed on her face.
