Chapter 51: Stood Up for Her

Sheng Xiuming told her to speak less.

"Although Xiaxia is married off, I do hope she has a good life," Mrs. Sheng said. "If Shilv doesn't even give us the respect to eat together, can you expect him to be sincere toward our daughter?"

Seated, Sheng Youxia listened as she referred to "our daughter."

It was quite ironic.

The uncles and aunts called the waiters to start serving the food.

Sheng Youxia hadn't seen her younger brother; Cui Wenshan kept a tight rein on her son, who was most likely at home doing homework.

"Xiaxia, give Shilv a call," Cui Wenshan seemed to think she hadn't lost enough face.

"He certainly won't answer during his surgery."

Sheng Youxia couldn't understand why a family meal had to be so exhausting.

Cui Wenshan's well-maintained face was full of smiles; she knew perfectly when to stop.

She was such a formidable character, which was why everyone praised her as a good stepmother, treating Sheng Youxia as their own.
