My bad ex-husband scolded me for being infertile? A wealthy man got married again and had two babies
Chapter 177 The Groom Didn’t Show Up
The ladies at the same table all looked at her with gossipy eyes. Zhou Ruotang was annoyed, but could only smile and said in a low voice, "Aunt, you misunderstood. We definitely don't have any intention of coveting the Gao family's assets. It's just that my brother's company has encountered a lot of trouble recently, and he urgently needs those projects to revive it. After all, we will soon become a family. If something happens to the Zhou family, it will also damage the reputation of the Gao family."
Gao's mother snorted and said disdainfully, "Don't I know the mentality of you poor and broke people? Do you think that you can subsidize your parents' family and make them superior just because you married into the Gao family? Forget it. Although Yuan'er wants to marry you, you should also remember the gap between our two families and be a good daughter-in-law of the Gao family. Don't think about your parents' family all day long. It's embarrassing."
Zhou Ruotang was stunned for a moment.
These words seemed strangely familiar to her.
It seemed that when Xu Yansang first married into the Zhou family, she and her mother had slandered Xu Yansang in this way.
And now, she has become the one being humiliated.
This was the first time she had been described as poor and broke... Even after the misfortune the Zhou family had faced, they were definitely not poor and broke, right? At least in North City, they were still one of the most powerful families, below the top families.
But in Gao's mother's mouth, she became a cheap thing like Xu Yansang...
Zhou Ruotang was full of resentment, but she didn't dare to say anything to Gao's mother. She could only lower her head and listen to the lecture. She was secretly anxious. Why didn't her brother come in? It was too difficult for her to deal with this old witch.
If my brother were here, this old witch would definitely not dare to be so arrogant towards me.
Thinking of this, she was also a little surprised. Her brother asked her to come in first just now, but it has been almost half an hour. What on earth did he and Xu Yansang have to talk about for so long?
She was feeling indignant, when she suddenly looked up and saw Xu Yansang chatting and laughing with an old lady at the first row of wedding tables not far away.
She stood up suddenly.
Because the action was too abrupt, it attracted the attention of several ladies at the same table. Gao's mother looked unhappy and scolded, "What's the matter? You don't know how to sit or stand properly. People who know you are the daughter of the Gao family will think you are a country girl from somewhere!"
Zhou Ruotang felt resentful at being scolded, but he could only obey obediently on the surface, "Auntie is right, I will pay attention next time. I just saw a friend, I went to say hello."
Gao's mother snorted coldly and ignored her.
Zhou Ruotang could only leave with gritted teeth amid the indescribable expressions of the ladies at the same table.
She walked straight towards Xu Yansang's table.
When they got closer, they found that there were no other guests at this table except them. Compared with the other crowded tables, it was like a super VIP seat.
And according to the rules, this table is indeed for the most distinguished guests, but in other people's weddings, the most distinguished guests will be arranged with a whole table, not just two people like now.
She looked at the old lady next to Xu Yansang.
Is it her again?
Last time at Mr. Wu’s birthday party, it was this old lady who supported Xu Yansang and embarrassed her.
This old lady is the guest of honor of the Wu family again today?
She didn't want to offend the unknown old woman, so she just walked up to Xu Yansang and said unceremoniously, "Xu Yansang, come with me."
Xu Yansang was talking to Grandma Fu about a cat she had when she was a child. When she heard the noise and turned around, she saw Zhou Ruotang looking at her in a domineering manner.
She frowned and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Zhou Ruotang was angry that she was disobedient, so she asked her to come over. Couldn't she just follow him?
"Something's going on." She said with a serious face, "Come over and tell me."
Xu Yansang looked at her angry face and thought it was nothing serious, so she said calmly, "What is it? It doesn't matter if you say it here."
Zhou Ruotang glared at her and said, "If I could talk here, would I still ask you to come over?"
Xu Yansang glanced at her sideways, "I don't think there's anything to talk about between us, Miss Zhou, if you just want me to come over and humiliate you, forget it."
Zhou Ruotang didn't expect that she would bring up the matter. He subconsciously looked at the old lady next to him. The old lady had a calm expression and picked up the teacup to take a sip of water.
Zhou Ruotang breathed a sigh of relief. He thought the old lady would protect Xu Yansang, but it turned out to be just like that.
She was about to continue to make things difficult for Xu Yansang, but she saw the old lady suddenly put the teacup hard on the table.
The porcelain cup and the glass table top made an extremely crisp sound, and Zhou Ruotang's heart trembled.
What does this old woman mean?
Grandma Fu looked at Zhou Ruotang coldly and asked in a cold voice, "Your last name is Zhou, right?"
Before Zhou Ruotang could say anything, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side. Gao's mother looked at the old lady in front of her in shock, her eyes filled with horror. She couldn't believe it but asked respectfully, "Are you... the old lady from the Fu family?"
The sound of putting the cup down was so loud that it attracted her and many other people's attention. Gao's mother originally thought that it was some poor relative of the Wu family who was not presentable enough making a fool of herself, but when she looked over, she felt that the old lady looked familiar!
She looked exactly like the old lady from the Fu family whom she had the honor of meeting three years ago!
Looking again, the old lady was sitting in the most honorable seat in the banquet hall. The table was empty. Apart from the old lady and a young unfamiliar woman, there was no one else. Isn't it obvious what was going on?
So although she was asking a question at this moment, she was actually certain in her heart that this old lady was the old lady of the Fu family!
The moment she heard the old lady of the Fu family, Grandma Fu looked at Xu Yansang guiltily.
Seeing that Xu Yansang didn't respond, she felt relieved, thinking that maybe her granddaughter-in-law was slow to react and didn't understand what the other party meant.
She looked at Gao's mother and felt that she looked unfamiliar. She asked, "Who are you——"
Mother Gao said quickly, "I am from the Gao family in Haicheng. You probably don't remember me. Three years ago, when Mr. Fu was buried, I went to pay my respects and met you."
Hearing about her deceased husband, Grandma Fu's expression softened a little, "It's you, what a coincidence, you are also attending the wedding banquet today?"
Gao's mother explained attentively, "Yes, Zhizhi is my niece from my mother's side. When she gets married, of course I, as her cousin, have to come. Old Madam Fu, I didn't expect to run into you here. It's my honor to meet you."
Old Lady Fu smiled and nodded, "It's fate that we met. Why don't you come and sit with us?"
Gao's mother was pleasantly surprised. "Really? Can I sit at this table? Would it... disturb you too much?"
Grandma Fu smiled and waved her hand, "It's okay, please sit down. This table is too quiet. It will be more lively if you sit over here."
Gao's mother nodded flattered, "Okay, I'm sorry to bother you then..."
She looked at Xu Yansang, and nodded to her in a somewhat flattering manner with her usual superior expression, as a greeting.
Then he sat down on the other side of Grandma Fu.
But she didn't dare to get so close to Old Madam Fu like Xu Yansang did. She respectfully moved three seats away from her. Even so, she felt satisfied.
The surroundings were attracted by the commotion here, and the wealthy ladies who witnessed the scene just now all found it a little unbelievable.
Although the Gao family is developing in Haicheng, they also have industries in Beicheng. There are many people who want to cooperate with and establish relations with the Gao family, so one can imagine the status of Gao's mother.
But Gao's mother, who was of such a noble status, was actually so humble in front of an old lady. They were all surprised and doubtful about the old lady's identity.
The key point is that no one has ever seen or heard of the name of the Old Lady of the Fu Family.
Some smarter ones have already started using their mobile phones to search on Baidu, but with just these few words, nothing comes up.
Who exactly is this old lady?
Zhou Ruotang, who was left aside, felt confused when she saw that her future mother-in-law was so respectful to the old lady. What was going on?
That's the wife of Gao's family. Gao's family is like a mountain to Zhou's family. But now, Gao's mother, who owns a mountain, is so polite to that old lady.
She didn't dare to say anything else, but just glared at Xu Yansang as a warning and said she would settle the score with her later!
Xu Yansang ignored Zhou Ruotang's gaze. She didn't notice Zhou Ruotang's reaction at all. Her mind was filled with the words of the old lady of the Fu family.
She was not stupid. The lady who was clinging to Grandma Fu was obviously either rich or noble, but she was so polite to Grandma Fu. Obviously, it was not just because of the reason Grandma Fu had explained before.
Mother Gao wanted to get closer to Grandma Fu, so she looked at Xu Yansang and asked Grandma Fu, "Grandma Fu, who is this?"
Grandma Fu no longer dared to look at Xu Yansang. She began to regret inviting Gao's mother to come over and sit down. She forgot to hide her identity when she invited her. Now she wanted to hide it again, but she was afraid she could only dream about it.
She even had some desperate thoughts, just let it go, Yan Sang would know sooner or later, and if it really went according to A's plan, this layer of window paper would never be opened!
Anyway, the worst that can happen is that A'qu will have to kneel on the washboard for a few days. She has long been thinking about supporting Yan Sang openly!
Although she felt guilty, Grandma Fu still looked kind and said with a smile, "This is my granddaughter-in-law."
Gao's mother stood up suddenly, extended her hand to Xu Yansang, and said enthusiastically, "It turns out to be Mrs. Fu. Nice to meet you. You see, I haven't prepared anything. Otherwise, I should give you a gift. How about we exchange contact information so that we can keep in touch in the future?"
She was very calculating. She didn't dare ask for Grandma Fu's contact information because she was sure that she wouldn't get it even if she asked. But it was different for Mrs. Fu. Young people are shy and it would be good for her to expand her network.
Xu Yansang smiled awkwardly, shook hands with Gao's mother, added her on WeChat, and left her phone number.
Zhou Ruotang's eyes were almost flaming with anger.
Since she got engaged, she has been following Gao's mother, being attentive and trying hard to please her, but until now she has not been able to add Gao's mother's WeChat. There is only one phone number, which she had to bargain for for a long time.
But when it came to Xu Yansang, it turned out to be Gao's mother showing her affection?
Wasn't that man surnamed Fu just a small insurance salesman? She couldn't believe that Xu Yansang had become a high-ranking official just like that?
Was it the old woman who teamed up with Xu Yansang to deceive people?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was possible. Aren't there fraud gangs that specifically target wealthy families?
Zhou Ruotang felt proud of herself for seeing through everything. After attending the wedding banquet, she would definitely tell Gao's mother the truth. Maybe if Gao's mother was happy, she would take Zhou to do a few projects.
After Gao's mother exchanged pleasantries with Xu Yansang, she turned around and saw Zhou Ruotang was still there. She angrily scolded, "What are you doing standing here like a wooden stick? Go sit in your own place and don't embarrass me!"
After Xu Yansang's divorce, she had not deliberately tried to find out about the Zhou family's affairs, and knew nothing about what had happened to Zhou Ruotang. When she heard what Gao's mother said, she was stunned for a moment, and then she realized belatedly, could this be Zhou Ruotang's mother-in-law?
Zhou Ruotang, who always acted bossy in front of her, bit her lip and left reluctantly like a bullied wife.
Gao's mother said to Grandma Fu and Xu Yansang embarrassedly, "This is my son's fiancée. I'm sorry for not knowing the etiquette and making you laugh."
Grandma Fu's expression was somewhat intriguing. "She really doesn't know the etiquette. She was watching the elders chatting. Those who knew thought she was trying to show filial piety, while those who didn't thought she was trying to eavesdrop on some secrets. When she left, she didn't even say hello, she just turned around and walked away. Madam Gao, you are really picky about your daughter-in-law. Whose family is she from?"
She had wanted to deal with Zhou Ruotang just now, but she didn't expect that she was Gao's mother's daughter-in-law. If she had known, she would not have let Gao's mother sit down.
Because of her hatred for Gao's mother, Grandma Fu no longer has any good impression of her.
A daughter-in-law like that can never be a good thing.
At this moment, Gao's mother hated Zhou Ruotang very much. It was she who caused her to lose face in front of Old Madam Fu.
He said quickly, "The old lady taught me that I will definitely discipline her after I return."
Grandma Fu hummed coldly and ignored her.
Mother Gao didn't know what she had done wrong to make Old Madam Fu so cold to her all of a sudden. After thinking about it, she felt that it must be Zhou Ruotang who had implicated her, and she became even more dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law.
The wedding started soon.
The door slowly opened, and the bride He Zhizhi appeared at the door like a fairy.
She walked along the long red carpet and was led to the stage by her father.
However, the groom Wu Zhendong did not show up yet.
At first everyone thought it was a part of the wedding ceremony, until the host called the groom for the fourth time to hold the bride's hand and the groom still did not show up, everyone realized something was wrong.
The host repeated the words to save the situation over and over again, with cold sweat rolling down his forehead. This was a wedding that concerned his career, and if the groom was absent, what was the point of holding the wedding?
The host saved the situation for the fifth time, "Haha, it seems that our groom is still a little shy. Is he going to play the game of finally appearing after much anticipation, but still holding the lute and half covering his face? I advise you not to do that. We men are tough. Come and take your bride home!"
"Let's welcome the groom with applause!"
The sound of clattering music rang out, and the wedding music was happy and warm.
But Wu Zhendong still didn't show up.
The bride on the stage already had an ugly look on her face, and her father was suppressing his anger.
