Chapter 391: No Divorce
Su Jin was also confused. The devil was fine but what did he mean by saying that she should listen to him? Has she not listened to him before? It was just that sometimes she would say unpleasant things, but there was no need for him to be like this, right?
Xi Chenxiao raised his head and looked at his shocked grandfather with a hint of smugness on his face. The girl did not want to divorce him. This was what he wanted. Su Jin soon understood why he asked her to be good. He said confidently,
“Grandpa, my wife said that she would rather die than get a divorce.”
Su Jin’s eyes widened when she heard this. What the hell was going on? When did she say that? She didn’t even know. Could it be that the devil’s lip-reading was not very good and he had misunderstood her?
She immediately pulled Xi Chenxiao’s arm, wanting to tell him that he had misunderstood her. However, before she could explain, Xi Chenxiao grabbed her hand. This was the end for her; there was no way she could explain herself now.
When Grandpa Xi heard Xi Chenxiao’s words and saw their actions, his fury went up a notch. He slammed the table angrily and stood up. This girl actually had the nerve to do this. He looked coldly at Su Jin and asked,
“Young lady, have you thought it through? Would you really rather die than to divorce my grandson?”
Of course, Su Jin did not say that. This had to be explained, but before she could say anything, Xi Chenxiao looked at the old man with a smug expression as he said confidently,
“Grandpa, please be careful. My wife is quite timid, so don’t scare her.”
Grandpa Xi had no patience at the moment. He already did not believe that Xi Chenxiao could find a wife. But what happened just now gave him no choice but to believe it. He glared at Xi Chenxiao and berated,
“Shut up, I’m not talking to you. Girl, speak up!”
Su Jin looked at the expressionless devil and hesitated. She pointed at her throat and shook her head, indicating that there was something wrong with her throat and that she could not speak. After all, she could not afford to offend either of them; she did not want to be collateral damage. With this gesture, she avoided Grandpa Xi’s anger perfectly.
Grandpa Xi was stunned at first when he saw Su Jin’s gesture. Then he realized that this little girl might be a mute. He stared at Xi Chenxiao in horror and said coldly,
“You little brat, you found a wife and she’s a mute?”
Xi Chenxiao had gotten the answer he wanted. He was not afraid of what might happen. Su Jin had his protection anyway and he didn’t believe that they would kill him. He poured Su Jin a glass of water and said calmly,
“Grandpa, Grandma, she’s not a mute. Her throat is not well so she can’t speak for the time being.”
Grandpa Xi was still furious. After all, this girl was not worthy of his grandson. The Xi family would never want such a nobody for a daughter-in-law. Just as he was about to speak, a sweet female voice sounded from not far away.
“Brother Xiao, stop lying. I’ve heard from Xi Shi that you married a good-for-nothing mute. Even though I don’t understand how you could fall in love with such a girl, I would urge you to think hard about it. This is, after all, a lifetime matter.”
Shangguan Ting’er sauntered over with her feminine dress and wavy long hair. She wore expensive jewelry on her neck and ears. She looked every bit like the legendary rich woman with fair skin, beautiful face and long legs.
Su Jin looked at Shangguan Ting’er and thought about how Grandpa Xi had said that the two of them were childhood sweethearts and felt a strange sense of jealousy. The devil was her husband, how could she not feel jealous?
Grandma Xi also looked at Su Jin with displeasure. She called her grandson back today to firm up his marriage with the Shangguan family. What would the Shangguan family think now? Wouldn’t the Xi family lose face?
