Though Qiu Qianyu was full of grief and anger, she stood still, letting Qiu Ying hit her.
Because, after all, she was the junior. She couldn't dodge, much less fight back.
So, despite her grievance and indignation, she could only use this thod to vent her emotions!
Qiu Ying, however, was relentless. She raised her hand, ready to slap Qiu Qianyu hard across the face!
But just as Qiu Ying's hand was raised and about to strike, her wrist was suddenly seized tightly by soone!
It was like an iron clamp, firm as a rock, unmoving!
"Jiang Chuan, you country bumpkin, how dare you stop ? Let go of right now!"
Seeing that it was Jiang Chuan who had grabbed her, Qiu Ying beca even angrier.
She swung her other hand, aiming another slap at Jiang Chuan.
But Jiang Chuan calmly raised his hand again and caught her other hand.
Jiang Chuan looked at her coldly, his eyes full of an overwhelming intimidation.
"Aunt, I respect you as Xiaoyu's elder, so I call you Aunt. If you don't behave, do you believe I can make you regret living in this world?"
Jiang Chuan's voice was low, but each word he spoke hit Qiu Ying's heart like a heavy hamr.
Her heart trembled, and the rising anger dissipated due to the tremor in her heart.
"You... you let go." Qiu Ying's voice unexpectedly carried a slight tremble.
Old Mrs. Chang Lan, sitting nearby, saw everything clearly. As the head of the family, she couldn't just ignore it.
"Xiao Ying! You are overreacting! What are you all doing just standing there? Hurry over and persuade your aunt!"
Only after Old Mrs. Chang Lan's urging did several younger mbers of the Qiu Family hastily go over to calm Qiu Ying down.
"Aunt, please calm down. You're the elder; there's no need to argue with the younger generation!"
"Exactly! Why bother with a country bumpkin? He's just an ignorant person!"
"Don't upset yourself and risk your health over a country bumpkin; it's not worth it!"
Qiu Ying's anger had almost subsided, so she used the opportunity to back down, glaring at Jiang Chuan with a cold snort: "Hmph, I'll let it go this ti. For Xiaoyu's sake, I won't hold it against you!"
Qiu Qianyu also felt it was inappropriate to have confronted her aunt earlier.
So she quickly went over to apologize to Qiu Ying.
To break the awkward situation, Qiu Qianyu hurried over to smooth things out: "Aunt, these gifts were especially picked by Jiang Chuan for you."
"Although he doesn't have much money, these gifts were carefully selected by him, representing a little of our sincerity. Look at this set of costics, it's pretty good."
Qiu Qianyu specially took out one of the items.
It was a set of costics, not cheap.
Among these gifts, it was the best.
"No money, you can tell from these things!"
Qiu Ying casually flicked through the items and said sarcastically and bluntly: "Look at this, what is all this, it's just trash."
"Oh, saying 'trash' isn't right; even the trash our family throws out is more valuable!"
"Xiaoyu, let your husband take these things back; we won't accept such cheap goods. We usually throw away things like this as trash."
Qiu Ying spoke ruthlessly, giving Qiu Qianyu no face, making her lovely face turn red with embarrassnt.
And the chatter from the Qiu Family was full of ridicule.
"See, that's the advantage of marrying a man into the family, so poor!"
"Exactly, Aunt rarely cos back and they buy her this trash. If it were , I would have thrown it out a long ti ago!"
"Garbage people co with garbage gifts, what do you expect from a country bumpkin, a villa?"
The Qiu Family mbers were rciless in their mockery, saying all sorts of things.
Qiu Qianyu's face turned beet red, but she had nothing to say.
At this mont, Qiu Ying took out a set of costics, showing off as she sneered at Qiu Qianyu: "Xiaoyu, not to criticize, but your husband is such a bumpkin."
"Look at the costics he brought; never heard of such a brand, cheap junk! Now look at what I brought, a real international brand, the Chanel crown series!"
Qiu Ying held up the costics box high for the Qiu Family to see.
