Li Lifen attempted to show Ge Chen's warning as a joke. After all, Yu Banshan was a man married to the daughter of the Fa Family. Moreover, he was Xue Lin's tutor.
Xue Lin bluntly said, "No, it wasn't a joke. My husband was being serious. After all, the last time he did do something and that was unforgivable. If he doesn't know how to stay in the line, there will be consequences."
"…" Li Lifen's smile stiffened.
After warning him with her cold words, she gazed at her cousin and said, "Sister Wanwan, you shouldn't unleash the collar of your husband. He lacks some mon sense and doesn't know when and how he should act. If you don't control him now he might embarrass you more in the future."
Fa Wanwan squeezed out a smile and attempted to say, "You know your brother-in-law. He is only caring about you. You weren't married back then. We were all worried. He just tried to help. Don't be mad at him because of such a silly thing."
"I wish it was a silly thing but it's not. It's my personal matter and also it's about my future. The person herself isn't worried about her future and yet some other people are trying to meddle into my business."
"Are we 'some other people' to you?" Yu Banshan asked and he seemed rather upset.
Xue Lin frowned and asked him back, "Then are you saying that you are me? Don't speak illogically in front of me. I can't stand it."
"…" Yu Banshan couldn't e up with an answer since she was right. However, he couldn't stand that he was in the wrong.
He inquired, "What do you want then?"
"You all know what kind of person I am. I pletely hate it when someone tries to control me and bee nosy about my personal matter. So watch it," Xue Lin warned him.
"Fine, fine, we will stay away from you. Happy now?" Fa Wanwan became irritated. "We are here to invite you all to your fifth's brother's wedding. It will be held in six weeks. The wedding ceremony and the reception will be held in our hometown. You have to e."
Xue Lin stared at her for a good while before replying, "If you are going to invite us so insincerely, I guess you don't want us to e. At least you had done your part. Let me do my part now. Tell my fifth brother that I congratulated him and I couldn't attend his wedding because I was super busy with my job and newly wedded family."
As she was about to leave, Yu Banshan and Fa Wanwan both panicked.
Yu Banshan said, "Why are you taking your sister's attitude in your heart? You must e to the wedding."
Xue Lin shrugged and interrogated them, "I don't understand why you are all acting like you don't know me and then blaming me for your misbehavior. I don't remember teaching any of you talking to me rudely. If you want my disgust, you just earned that. Now let us leave."
Fa Wanwan stopped her. "You are married and you don't even want to show your husband to your family members. What are you ashamed of?"
Xue Lin gave her a fake smile and said, "I'm already introduced to him to the family who raised me. And, my husband isn't a decoration piece to show off. He is human."
She meant that Wanwan and others weren't her family but relatives.
She didn't stand there anymore. She shoved Fa Wanwan away and headed toward the door. Ge Chen followed her after giving everyone a cold and silent warning with his piercing eyes.
Although Li Lifen and Fa Jingfei wanted to say something but their tongues were tied seeing the icy glare.
After they left the house, Xue Lin put her things in the car and sighed deeply.
"Man, that was a mess," Xue Lin mented. She rubbed her cheeks. "My mouth hurts after talking to those fools."
Hearing no ment from her husband, she turned around and faced him. She asked him, "So what're your thoughts? Are you eager to know my family despite everything you just saw?"
Ge Chen opened his mouth and faintly shared his opinion, "Even if they are scheming, it's not that bad since they are fools."
"Yeah, it's easy to figure them out unlike that trash (Bai Yue) and trash can (Ge Junjie)." She couldn't hold herself back and burst into laughter.
They drove back to the hotel to stay overnight.
After freshening up, Xue Lin took a book. She opened it to read when she got a call.
She checked her cell phone and noticed that it was from social media. Her second aunt called.
Her second aunt from the paternal family was Fa Wanwan and her fifth brother's mother. Xue Lin had a good relationship with her even though she tried to harm her several times when she was young.
For some reason, she found her aunt very interesting. She had nothing to do with her two daughters and one son since they were all older than her but her aunt nonetheless attempted to hurt her by using medicine or poison.
She didn't know a fact that Xue Lin's stomach was one of the scariest things in the universe. Her stomach got used to those medicines and poison but it didn't harm her badly.
The only effect was left on the brain. It reduced her memory capacity. She could barely memorize names and faces.
In spite of all that, Xue Lin got along with her aunt in order to understand her psychology.
She answered the call and stated, "Second auntie, it has been a while. How are you doing?"
Her second aunt replied in a joyous tone, "I'm good! Wanwan is pregnant and your fifth brother is getting married. I'm the happiest woman in the world. Xue Lin, how e you came back to China and never contacted us?"
Xue Lin responded monotonously. "My cell phone was broken. I couldn't contact anyone. I'm glad that you are okay. So, why did you call me?"
