Chapter 477 From The Bai Family

CHAPTER 477
Now that Li Fengjin had calm down from his jealousy, they went ahead to join the others at the table. Various dishes laid out on the table making it look like a colourful decoration.
There was braised pork belly, covered rice, steamed buns and dumplings, vegetables, dim sum, sauced fried fish and tea.
It was a sumptuous meal indeed.
Taking their waited seats at the table, Ye Lee Ai said grace before they began to eat. By the the everyone had food on their plates and had picked up their cutlery, Li Xiaojin at unmoving.
"Xiaojin, why are you not eating? You don\'t find the food to your liking?" Wang Tingxiao asked.
He had noticed that only Li Xiaojin had not started eating. He had started doubting his cooking skills when he saw the little guy shake his head.
However, the words that came out of Li Xiaojin\'s mouth stunned him.
"I want mummy to feed me," he said while looking up at Bai Renxiang who sat on his right.
Without wasting any time, Bai Renxiang scooped a little portion of rice into her spoon and fed it to him. Li Xiaojin excitedly opened his mouth and ate.
Ye Yumi giggled softly at how spoiled he was acting. She was reminded of how she used to love it when she was being fed by either of her parents or Ye Chaoxiang when she was little.
As for Li Fengjin, he could only sigh as he could not complain. He would allow his son to have his wife for the day. After all, they had not really being together since the night before their wedding.
Ye Chaoxiang, the Yang brothers and Wang Tingxiao gave each other a meaningful smile as they observed Li Fengjin\'s facial expression. They could make out a look of resign on his face.
"Fengjin, do not sulk too much, okay?" Yang Wenkai said.
As a response, Li Fengjin just nodded as he made annoy sign on his hand. Then he continued with his food.
Through out the meal, there was ambiance and harmony in the air. If one were to walk in on them now, they would immediately conclude that they were one big family.
After the heartfelt meal, they gathered in the last bing room again. But this time, with the intentions of opening the wedding gifts sent from various people and families.
Some contained jewelries, others contained paintings, vases, medicinal roots and herbs, shoes, bags, clothes, bedding set and whatnot.
There were some that even had kitchen utensils, plates and all those stuffs. It was a few that had gifts for Li Xiaojin as no one had expected that the winter couple would already have a child.
It was only a few that has the idea of getting a gift for the little offspring of the winter couple.
Just as they were going through the gifts, Lisa pick one up and read out the name. "From the Bai family."
Everyone stopped whatever they were doing with the gifts and looked at her. Then their gaze trailed from her to the big box and lastly to Bai Renxiang.
"Toss it aside," Bai Renxiang with her eyes and hands still busy with other gift boxes around her.
"Are you sure you want to toss it away? I mean, the box is quite bigger than the little one we expected," Ning Xiaozhi asked.
"You can open it if you want to see what is inside. It will be useless to me anyway," Bai Renxiang answered.
Ning Xiaozhi sighed before taking ghetto box from Lisa and opening it. Her brows raised when she saw the contents of the box.
Seeing her reaction, Lisa and the others scored closer to her to also take a peek at what the box housed. They also had the same expression as her when it was revealed.
"What is inside the box?" Li Fengjin asled as he had not moved to see.
Ning Xiaozhi answered with her actions instead of words. Her hands dug into the box and pulled out an old jewelry box, a dress and two books.
"Is that it?" He asked again.
"It appears to be it," Wang Tingxiao answered this time.
Ning Xiaozhi stood up and unfolded the clothes that seemed to be a dress. It was a simple orange coloured dress with shimmers that appears to be the way the material used is.
There was nothing so special about it except the bright colour and from the looks of it, it does not seem to be Bai Renxiang\'s size at all. Shaking their heads, Ning Xiaozhi dropped the dress and opened the jewelry box.
A small note was seen inside. It read, \'I managed to have them make this jewelry based on one of your old design when you were a child.\'
"It must have been written by Bai Guiren," Bai Renxiang said. "Any of you can have it." She added.
"Why? It must be something you cherish since it was from your childhood. Keep it," To Changying reasoned.
"It is from my childhood but it came from the unhappy part of it. He must take thought me to still be that stupid girl from the past," Bai Renxiang said vaguely.
Her words confused the others.
"That necklace... It was not just made. It is something I wanted him to make it as my birthday present but her gave it to Bai Ming instead. But he did it secretly and had no idea I knew of it."
Saying the last part, she sighed and shook her head to stop herself from letting out a bitter smile or laugh. She did not want to remember or mock herself for those times again.
"That man is a jerk. How impartial of him to do that?" Ning Xiaozhi sneered.
"He can\'t even afford to get you something new. He must be so selfish to have Bai Ming\'s old stuff wrapped up as a wedding gift for you," Yang Wenkai added.
"He is either stupid or too arrogant," Lisa chipped in.
One by one they voiced out their thoughts of how ill-treated Bai Renxiang was and how the Bai family act like they owned the world.
"I think we should send it back to him," Ye Yumi suggested.
"Yeah. That way, he will know that you do not need his piece of already used garbage as a gift not to even talk of a wedding gift. You are way more than this," Yi Changying said.
"I guess I will do that," Bai Renxiang nodded.
"And what are these books supposed to mean?" Ye Chaoxiang picked up the two books in both of his hands.
"How to be a good wife and how to be a good mother," Wang Tingxiao who was standing beside him read out the big lettering\'s of the book that seemed to be its name.
"The little note attached says, I hope you will grew into a fine use and exemplary mother," Ning Xiaozhi read the note.
"Tch. Whoever wrote this has a hidden message behind it\'s goody goody words," she analysed.
"That one should be from Lin Ying, Bai Guiren\'s new wife," Bai Renxiang guessed.
If someone else were to read that note, they would think that Lin Ying, as a kind stepmother who thinks of Bai Renxiang as her own, only meant well.
But everyone in that room thought otherwise.
Her words hidden behind those letters were dull of spite and hate and scorn. She was trying to say that Bai Renxiang should not take up the attitude her mother.
She was trying to imply that Jiang Meilin was not a food wife because she \'cheated\' on her husband.
As for the book about being a good mother and being a good example for her child, that was another mocking letter. The Bai family thinks that she, like her mother, is a sl*t that may have slept her with Li Fengjin so that he could acknowledge her as a wife.
Lin Ying wanted her to know not to pass down her bad habit as a sl*t to her child or children. The so-called gifts were insults not only to her, Bai Renxiang but also to her mother.
Li Fengjin gritted his teeth as he heard what was written in the notes. There was no way he would not know what Lin Ying means by that letter.
However, he calmed down a little after hearing his wife\'s next choice of word.
"I will send this to Lin Ying with an additional note too. The one who needs to be a good mother and wife is her. I someone shouldnpls remind me to add about the punishment of being a home wrecker," Bai Renxiang said.
"You can count on me to write them down now. Just spell out the words, baby girl," Ning Xiaozhi raised her hands.
She tore off a plain page at the back of one of the books then she took a pen from her purse. "What should I write first."
