My Evil Genius Wife

" What's wrong with me? Why can't he date 'someone' like me?"

The room fell into a suffocating silence after Jia Fei's bold question. While Yuhan was staring at her in surprise, Yao Zixin frowned upon hearing her words. She wasn't expecting Jia Fei to speak to her like this. 

She called her to invite her for dinner at their place because she wanted to confirm the relationship between her and Yuhan. If they're simply friends, it would be rude to speak to her like this. 

She just wanted to know if the thing about Yuhan and her girlfriend is just a rumor or if there is any truth in it. 

However, after seeing them acting in front of her earlier, it was clear that they are more than 'just' friends. The way they were communicating with their eyes and those low-intimate whispers, it's not something that 'just' friends will do. 

Yao Zixin scoffed and said, " You're asking me that question? I looked up a bit about you and found out that you used to be part of a girl group called The Queens. Didn't the group fall apart badly and I heard that it was quite dramatic?" 

Jia Fei's expressions hardened upon hearing her mentioning the group but she was all ears. She also wanted to see what she has to say. 

" Mom!! Why are you bringing something irrelevant here? Moreover, we're just friends." Yuhan added. He could see his mother hyping up and he was afraid that she would say something hurtful to Jia Fei. 

No one knows Yao Zixin better than him and she can say anything to anyone just to prove her point. She used to treat Xingren well because she liked her but she is treating Jia Fei the same way that she used to behave towards Xu Nuan. 

" Jia Fei, let's go. There is no need-" He stood up in rage and pulled Jia Fei's hand to take her out of this mess with him but Jia Fei didn't budge from her place. 

She simply glanced at him and smiled, " Why are you getting worked up? Can't you see that your mom is talking? It would be rude to leave just like that." 

Yuhan frowned but Jia Fei simply winked at him and turned to Yao Zixin and said, " Aunty, Please continue. I am all ears." 

"....."

Yao Zixin was speechless to see Jia Fei's nonchalant attitude and was at a loss of words for a moment. Why is so calm even after listening to her mean words? 

While Yao Zixin was trying to think about what she had to say, Yuhan also sat down again. He couldn't understand why Jia Fei rejected him and didn't leave with him. 

Yao Zixin cleared her throat and scoffed before speaking, " Have you seen your attitude? No girl from a reputed family acts like this. You're a crude and impudent girl."

" I invited you for dinner and see what you're wearing? Your clothes are showing your personality clearly," she stated. 

Jia Fei looked down at her clothes and wondered what's wrong with her outfit. She was wearing a white sleeveless crop-top and a check printed black and brown shirt over it. To match with it she wore bottom flared blue jeans and white sneakers. 

Well, it does look a bit inappropriate for dinner like this but what can she do? She called her an hour ago and asked her for dinner out of nowhere. She was at the cafe and didn't have the time to stop by her place to change into something nice. 

  Moreover, it was just a friendly dinner, was there a need to dress up formally? If she had known that she was going to be judged by her clothes, she would have worn her red-carpet gown to satisfy Yao Zixin's materialistic eyes.

Yuhan frowned at his mother and was about to say something when Jia Fei placed a hand over his knee and shook her head. She looked at him and mouthed, 'I'll handle it.'

He was a little surprised by her words. She will handle it? How? 

Yao Zixin frowned seeing them acting intimate again and continued, " No doubt that you're like this. Since you worked in the entertainment industry, you sure know how to seduce rich and innocent men." 

" That's why I don't want a girl like you in my family. That industry is full of trashy people and I will never allow someone like you as my daughter in law who used to be part of that mess. God knows what you have done to reach the top. " she shook her head at the thought of it. 

Jia Fei stared at her in amusement. Yes. Amusement. 

She wasn't even angry at her words. She is immune to such insults and such malicious comments don't even bother her anymore. 

But if she thinks that she will let her go just like that, then she has chosen the wrong person to fight with. When she can slap Hao Mei in front of the media people, then dealing with one melodramatic lady is not a big deal for her. 

After Yao Zixin relaxed after saying her part and quieted down, Jia Fei picked up a piece of melon from the table and ate it before turning to Yao Zixin casually, " That's it? Is that the only reason why you think Yuhan cannot date a girl like me?" 

Yao Zixin was perplexed at her strangely calm demeanor and nodded firmly. Is she trying to put a strong front in her? She wondered. 

Jia Fei chuckled and sat in a comfortable position on the sofa. She leaned back and supported her back with the cushion behind her. 

" Oh My, Ms. Yao, you're too funny. Are you still trying to act like a controlling mother-in-law from melodramas and want to choose your daughter-in-law according to your family status?" 

" Eww!! How tacky!! Don't you know that cool mothers-in-law are in trend these days? If you say the things that you said to me to your friends, they will tell you how cheap-minded you sounded just now." 

Yuhan and Yao Zixin were both shocked at Jia Fei's words when she started speaking. Yuhan wasn't expecting her to say such things as well. 

" What? Che...Cheap minded? How dare you!!" Yao Zixin bellowed at her. 

Jia Fei smiled at her and waved her hands in denial, " No, No! That's not what I am saying. I am saying that's what your 'friends' will call you." 

" These days, being a mother of a son is nothing to be proud of. If you act like this somewhere else, you will surely be criticized for your naive attitude," she said calmly. 

" My mother has birthed a beautiful princess like me and still doesn't act like this as you do. You need to chill a bit, your son is not that amazing you think he is," she said coolly making Yuhan frown. 

' Is she...insulting me?' He wondered while trying to understand why he was dragged into this whole conversation. He never even thought that he was amazing or something. 

" Moreover, you said that you will not allow someone from the entertainment industry as your daughter-in-law, right? But...isn't your son the CEO of an entertainment company?" 

" The Yao family's main business is the entertainment company, in that sense, you and your son, both belong to the entertainment industry. If the people from the entertainment industry are trash and disgusting, then...are you talking about your family in that sense?" she asked with an innocent smile on her lips. 

" Aunty, the money that you're so proud of, it all comes from the hard work of people like us. We, the artists and all the staff are the reason that you have all the money in your bank account. If you think that we're disgusting, then what are you? How will you cleanse the money that bought everything in this mansion? Huh?"
