Chapter 254 - 254 Beautiful and Kind



“Yes, Ma’am.”

For appetizers, there were cold dishes, hot dishes, a fruit platter, some pastries, and also alcohol.

Women’s and children’s food was served separately. Lu Jiao prepared watermelon juice for the kids, fried chicken drumsticks and wings.

!!

She originally thought watermelons didn’t exist during this era, but aunt Hua told her they did. However, watermelons came from the west and were very expensive. Lu Jiao was just glad they existed.

She asked Lu Gui to buy one as a decoy. She actually took two out of her space to make the fruit platter and the juice.

The children excitedly ate the fried chicken and drank the juice. Even the two difficult kids from classmate Han’s family happily ate.

The women were also very happy. Zhu Baozhu complimented her as she ate, “What are all these foods you prepared? They’re all so yummy.”

Lu Jiao pointed out, “This is a jujube cake, that is caramel popcorn.”

Corns was better known as teosinte or maize these days.

The women were happy to chat and eat. In the back courtyard, the children and the women were having a harmonious time.

The front courtyard was a different story.

The uninvited guests had already upset Xie Yunjin by showing up. Now, Liang Ziwen continued to tell Xie Yunjin to get Lu Jiao to come over.

“Classmate Xie, you’re not being fun. There are so many guests here yet I don’t see your wife greeting us.”

Xie Yunjin knew Liang Ziwen was a perverted man so there was no way he was going to let Lu Jiao greet him. He declined.

“She has to take care of the female guests and the kids. She doesn’t have the time to spare.”

Liang Ziwen stared at Xie Yunjin with a raised eyebrow. He taunted, “Classmate Han, your constant rejection means you think lowly of us. That makes sense. You’ve never thought anything of us.”

Liang Ziwen slammed his cup into the table harshly.

Beside him, Hu Zhan glanced at Liang Ziwen unpleasantly. Sadly, Liang Ziwen had had a couple of shots of alcohol and didn’t have the capacity to notice the warning looks from others.

Liang Ziwen continued to holler, “No, we must get your wife out here today. Since she’s so late in greeting us, she must take three shots as punishment!”

Xie Yunjin’s face dropped and he stared at Liang Ziwen. In a low voice, he suggested, “I think you drank a little too much.”

Liang Ziwen slammed his fist into the table, “I don’t get drunk! I’ve never gotten drunk!”

Hu Shan couldn’t help but pull on Liang Ziwen’s arm, “Enough. Don’t overdo it.”

The reason why he showed up uninvited today was to reconcile his relationship with Xie Yunjin. His wife was very thankful to Yunjin’s wife and continued to say how she needed to thank Lu Jiao in person some time.

If she wasn’t only one month postpartum, she would’ve shown up today as well.

Since she couldn’t, she asked Hu Shan to come to repair his relationship with Xie Yunjin.

Her father had complimented Xie Yunjin frequently and now that his wife had saved her life, Li Yuyao thought that Yunjin must be a good man.

Hu Shan was embarrassed to be the only uninvited guest and therefore brought Liang Ziwen. Who knew he was such a rude drunk?

Hu Shan was very angry on the inside.

Sadly, Liang Ziwen was used to acting arrogantly and inconsiderably. He ignored Hu Shan and continued to speak to Xie Yunjin, “Hurry up and tell your wife to get out here and take three shots. I’m not leaving until she does so.”

Xie Yunjin jumped out of his seat and coldly stared at Liang Ziwen.

Beside Xie Yunjin, classmate Han pulled him down. He was worried about Xie Yunjin’s legs. He wasn’t fully healed yet.

Classmate Han pulled onto Xie Yunjin and turned to Liang Ziwen angrily, “Liang Ziwen, get out of here. We didn’t even invite you over today, why are you making a scene? You think just because you have money, you can do whatever you want?!”

Liang Ziwen shot out of his chair and flipped over the table.

“I want to make a scene, so what! You think I’m scared of you?!”

Hu Shan dragged Liang Ziwen away.

“Let’s leave.”

Liang Ziwen was drunk and acted irrationally. Instead of listening to Hu Shan, he shouted, “Weren’t you the one complimenting Yunjin’s wife as pretty and a good doctor?! How come you are okay with not seeing her now that you’re here?!”

Liang Ziwen’s words made Hu Shan flush. He subconsciously looked toward Xie Yunjin.

Xie Yunjin’s gaze was gloomy and icy as he looked back at Hu Shan.

Hu Shan explained quickly, “I meant to say that Lady Lu is beautiful and kind. I have no other intentions.”

Liang Ziwen started to laugh, “Haha, brother Hu, what are you afraid of? You can straight up say you like his wife and there’s nothing he can do.”

Xie Yunjin stepped up and swung his fist at Liang Wenzi. Liang Wenzi was not prepared and had to retreat back several steps. He did his best to endure the pain.

Liang Ziwen’s face squished together and he growled at Xie Yunjin, “Xie Yunjin, you dare to hit me?! Are you seeking death?!”

Liang Ziwen then lunged at Xie Yunjin.

Hu Shan extended his hand to grab him. Sadly, in his delirious state, nobody could stop him.

As if he’d gone mad, he rushed toward Xie Yunjin. Classmate Han stood before Xie Yunjin to protect him. Lin Dong did the same.

Beside Xie Yunjin, Zheng Zhixing and the others exchanged glances. Liang Ziwen was truly difficult to deal with. If they helped Xie Yunjin now, he may revenge.

They hesitated. Before long, Jiang Yuansheng stepped out and stood before Xie Yunjin.

Behind them, Zheng Zhixing and others also shouted, “Liang Ziwen, stop this madness.”

Liang Ziwen ignored all the voices and jumped out to hit Xie Yunjin. He also muttered curse words.

“Telling your wife to come out here and greet us is me giving you face! How dare you act unwilling? Asking her to drink with us? Even if I ask her to sleep with us is me giving you face!”

Liang Ziwen’s words turned Xie Yunjin’s face eerily dark. Disgust filled his eyes and he fixed his gaze on Liang Ziwen as if he had already decided to somehow cut that man into pieces.

The front courtyard was now a mess. Lu Gui has had no such experience. Worried that something bad might happen, Lu Gui ran to the back courtyard.

...

“Sister! Help! My brother-in-law is in a fight! Hurry and come!”

Lu Jiao was teaching Zhu Baozhu about skincare. Other than Zhu Baozhu, Lady Tan was also listening intently. All women enjoyed being beautiful.

They were in the middle of it all when Lu Gui came to tattletale.

Lu Jiao was in shock and turned to Lu Gui, “How come they’re fighting out of nowhere?”

Lu Gui quickly explained, “Liang Ziwen acted very unreasonable and continued to demand you to drink with them. Brother-in-law was very angry and punched him. That guy is unforgiving and is asking my brother-in-law to fight him.”

Lu Jiao’s face dropped. Xie Yunjin’s legs were not yet healed. If he gets into a fight, his legs may break again.
