Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 112

Jade shook her head and said, "We are a family. You are being too polite."

Henry and Joy grinned from ear to ear as soon as they heard Jade mention that they were a family.

"Your younger daughter is not only pretty, but she is very charming as well." Jade praised Shirley.

Upon hearing this, Shirley lowered her head and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, auntie."

They spent the next few minutes exchanging pleasantries and compliments. They looked like any other joyful family. Jean glared at the hypocritical Wen family. She knew that they were shameless, but she hadn't expected that they would try to be this underhanded after she had severed her relationship with them.

They had gone too far!

"Oh! Why don't we see Zed?" Henry looked around and asked.

Jade replied, "He is speaking with his friend."

"Oh, I see."

"Well, we hadn't informed anyone that we had returned. Now that we've been introduced, let's find some time to dine together. I will ask Zed to book a restaurant and inform you of the details."

Henry's eyes gleamed with greed and he nodded eagerly. "Why wait? Let's dine tomorrow. We will treat you to this meal as Jean has caused many problems since she married Zed. We owe you this much!" He offered with feigned innocence and humility.

"Really? I didn't know. From what I have seen, Jean has never brought us any trouble. I like my daughter-in-law very much."

Both sides of her family were being way too polite for Jean's comfort. She stared at Henry coldly.

Shirley was filled with inveterate hatred toward Jean, although she managed to feign a polite demeanor. 'Why is she so lucky? How did she end up being the one to marry into such a rich and powerful family? How is that ordinary Jean could gain favor from Zed's mother so easily, but I have to pretend to please her?'

After talking with each other for a while, both families finally reached an agreement about the date and time for the dinner and who would treat whom for that meal. Apparently, Henry was very excited. While feigning interest in what Jade was saying, he took a quick peek at Jean. He knew that Jean, though upset, would not make trouble at this moment.

All members of Wen family seemed to be thrilled with how this meeting was going.

However, Jean was rather upset. In fact, she was extremely unhappy.

Zed stood on one side and waited for something interesting to happen. He knew that Jean wasn't the same cowardly person who would let the Wen family get away with their dirty tricks.

"Mom, let's cancel the dinner agreement." Jean said suddenly.

Upon hearing this, all others present were stunned. Henry was astounded. He had been so certain that Jean would behave and not cause any trouble. His expression turned gloomy. He stared at Jean sternly as if he were warning her not to talk nonsense.

"Why shall we cancel it?" Jade asked in confusion.

Jean hadn't been afraid of Henry for a long time. And so, his glare did not frighten her into silence. Instead she stared back at him as she spoke, "Because my relationship with the Wen family has been severed."

"Severed?" Jade was astounded. In all her life, she had never heard of such a thing. Everyone was being so genial that she couldn't guess what had happened to lead to such a serious fallout. She frowned and asked, "Jean, what are you talking about?"

"Jean, don't be silly! Don't let the relationship between our families suffer because of your little temper." Henry scolded.

"That's right. That's right. Jean, you can tell us if you are unhappy about something. Don't behave so capriciously. It is kind-hearted for your mother-in-law to ask us to dinner!" Joy echoed Henry's sentiments. She was equally bewildered to see Jean acting out like this.

"My dear sister. Please don't get mad. I realized that I was wrong and that I had made a mistake. I feel very guilty about what I did. I've even apologized to you so many times. Please don't be angry. Let it go, all right?" Shirley clutched Jean's arm and simpered.
