Secret Marriage: Reborn as A Beautiful Model Student

Chapter 1191: Wu Tong Fights Back

“Are you saying this because my daughter-in-law does not want to be filial to me? If so, just tell me. I refuse to stay here and suffer in silence. I can always move out.”

Aunt Li’s face darkened when she heard that.

“Mom, are you serious? It’s fine if you don’t want to stay here. I can pack your stuff for you and we can leave right away.”

Sometimes, it was easier for Aunt Li to speak up to Grandma Li as a daughter. Wu Tong was a daughter-in-law, after all; her status was different from her daughter’s.

“Are you still my daughter? Why are you helping an outsider?”

With the last statement, Grandma Li was insinuating that Wu Tong was not part of the family.

Aunt Li raised her voice. “Mom, you’re being unreasonable. Who are you calling an outsider? I may be an outsider, but so is Ying Yimei. Besides, you need to be clear about who is in charge in this household. Wu Tong is the head of the house now, not you. Don’t try to stir up trouble here. Look at Dad. He’d rather stay in the mountains for the new year than spend it here with us. I’m sure you know why.”

Grandma Li was so infuriated that she couldn’t breathe. “You…”

“Mom, don’t be angry.”

Wu Tong walked out and tried to pacify Grandma Li. Her mother-in-law was unreasonable at times, and Wu Tong also felt like arguing with her. However, she did not want anything to happen to Grandma Li during a festive occasion like New Year. Otherwise, she would have committed a grave sin and be blamed by everyone in the family for it.”

“You’ll all be the death of me!”

Grandma Li held Ying Yimei’s hand and huffed, “My Yimei is still the best.”

Aunt Li looked sympathetically at Ye Tianxin, thinking that Ye Tianxin would feel embarrassed or awkward. However, she looked completely at ease and was not bothered at all by what Grandma Li had said.

“All right, dinner is ready.”

Wu Tong invited everyone to the dining table, where a sumptuous meal was laid out.

Ying Yimei was amazed at the lavishness of a wealthy family. The ingredients they used were the most expensive ones available. She was all the more determined to marry into the Li family.

“Ye Tianxin, why are you here for dinner? Doesn’t your family have any food?”

Grandma Li was still seething in anger and needed to vent her frustration. She wanted to take it out at Ye Tianxin.

Just as Li Qingcang was about to open his mouth, Wu Tong banged her hand on the table and said, “Mom, I’m only going to say this one more time: Tianxin is my daughter-in-law, and I like her. I’ve tolerated all of your harassment towards me for Li Hang’s sake, and now you are making things difficult for my daughter-in-law. Why? All that matters is that I like her. Right? Don’t say anything like that ever again. If you do this again, I will divorce Li Hang immediately. Then you can pick your choice of daughter-in-law for him. I’ll leave with my son and daughter-in-law.”

Wu Tong had always been a good-tempered person and would keep quiet whenever Grandma Li said nasty things about her. However, one should not take advantage of another’s kindness.

“Let’s eat.”

Wu Tong felt much better after letting out all of her anger.

Ye Tianxin stretched out her hand and used her fingers to stroke Li Qingcang’s palm. Suddenly, he felt a tingling sensation.
