Sensing his wife’s discomfort, Father Pan’s third brother interjected, "Jiajia, even if your aunt wants to attend, our son is still young and needs someone to take care of him. At most, we can let our daughter go on our behalf."
His daughter turned to him in horror the moment she heard her father’s words while exclaiming, "Father, I don’t want to! How can you expect me to live in the village? Don’t you know how dirty and uneducated the villagers were?"
At her outburst, Li Chenmo glanced at her coldly and let out a sarcastic chuckle.
Hearing this, Lu Jueyu immediately recognized her husband’s anger. While he could tolerate others looking down on him, he never gave any faces to those who were disrespecting his family.
As expected, his sharp retort came swiftly, catching everyone off guard, "Even if you wanted to visit our village, we also won’t welcome someone like you. After all, we value people with a good personality and behaviors, not spoiled, rude brats."
His words instantly froze the atmosphere to the lowest. Although the Li family felt sorry for the Pan family’s embarrassment, they didn’t say anything. Showing their agreement with Li Chenmo’s statement.
The cousin’s words not only belittled the villagers but also looked down upon them. The Li family has been farming for generations and lives in the village. By saying that the villagers are dirty and uneducated, isn’t it equal to insulting them in person? It would be strange if they weren’t offended!
The cousin was shocked by Li Chenmo’s harsh words and stared at him with teary eyes while biting her lip in embarrassment.
She had secretly admired him the moment she saw him this morning, thinking he was the perfect man of her dreams. But now, his scornful words crushed her feelings, leaving her aggrieved.
Noticing her pitiful gaze, as though she were a bullied wife, Lu Jueyu’s eyes turned cold.
She placed her teacup down firmly and said, "Uncle Pan, Aunt Pan, since your niece looked down on us as villagers, then we will take our leave now. We will come to visit again another time."
Mother Pan quickly smiled and said, "Jueyu, you have had a busy day, you should go back and have a rest. We can talk more another time."
Meanwhile, Pan Chimu, oblivious to the tension, fetched his car keys and said, "Uncle Li, let me drive you back."
"Thank you, Nephew," Father Li nodded.
Before leaving, Li Lingyun leaned closer to his fiancee and whispered, "Jiajia, I will visit you tomorrow. Rest early tonight."
When he saw that no one paid them any attention, he kissed his girl’s earlobe and let out a chuckle.
Pan Meijia blushed from his teasing and replied, "Brother Yun, you should rest early too." freёwebnovel.com
As the Li family headed toward the door, the third uncle turned to his daughter, scolding her sharply, "What’s wrong with you? Even if you didn’t want to go, you shouldn’t have said those things! Look at the trouble you have caused!"
