The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

Chapter 886: Chapter 404

This person was bad-mouthing others behind their backs, but their voice was anything but quiet. Especially when they spoke, their gaze deliberately fell on the Xu family couple. Wasn’t it obvious that they wanted the Xu family couple to hear what they were saying?

The Xu family couple’s expressions were rather unpleasant, with Lady Xu so furious that she almost had smoke rising from her head. “This is simply bullying too far.” Even if her son wasn’t the best, he was still her son, flesh of her own flesh. Criticizing was her prerogative—others doing so was unacceptable to her.

“Honey, calm down. Obviously, this person is just jealous of our son. We shouldn’t stoop to her level. Look, she’s clearly doing this on purpose, raising her voice so we would hear. If you confront her now, you’ll be falling right into the trap she set for us.” Father Xu was afraid his wife would act impulsively. His wife could be quite terrifying when upset.

Under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t hold her back. She could do whatever she wanted, and he’d be her steadfast support.

But now, this was a party thrown by the Xiao couple. If his wife caused a scene now, wouldn’t it be disrespectful to the Xiao couple?
