Chapter 370: Chapter 344: Can Only Outwit (Monthly Ticket 2300+ Update)

A woman’s status is definitely not reflected by wearing two fancy outfits or discussing noble lady topics. Yu Minglang and his family told everyone with just one engagement banquet that Chen Xiaoqian’s position in this family is irreplaceable.

Some guests are envious of Xiao Qian, and some are jealous and look down on her. But no matter what, as long as Xiao Qian holds the title of Fourth Brother’s wife in the Yu Family, no one will dare to trample on her like they did before.

With just an engagement banquet, which was even more grand than Second Brother Yu’s wedding, everyone with eyes knew not to mess with Xiao Qian.

Not long ago, these people were convinced that Xiao Qian would never enter the Yu Family’s door. But as it turned out, she not only entered but also did so in such a manner. The world is indeed so unpredictable.

Through this engagement banquet, Xiao Qian also realized something. These so-called rich and powerful people, in some ways, are no different from her poor relatives. Even those with a high status do not necessarily have high quality.

Where there are people, there’s Jianghu.

Hai Zhao is being extremely attentive, feeding Xiao Xi and telling her jokes. Yu Mingxi is seated comfortably, like a queen.

Mother Yu, having greeted the relatives, sees Yu Mingxi eating so heartily and is annoyed.

“Do you really consider yourself a guest? Why don’t you help greet the guests instead of sitting here eating?” How could she have given birth to such a daughter!

“What should I be greeting for? Isn’t the youngest brother busy attending to his sweetheart? Why should I join the fun?”

If nobody were around, Mother Yu would have slapped this girl. Seeing Yu Minglang bringing Xiao Qian over, she could only suppress her anger and whisper.

“It’s lucky that Xiao Qian doesn’t mind these things. Otherwise, having a cousin like you would be simply asking for trouble!”

She doesn’t know if Xiao Qian’s family has any opinions. As the eldest sister, she acted like a guest throughout, not helping her brother or her sister-in-law. It seems like Yu Mingxi is here just to be entertained.

“How do you know she doesn’t mind? That girl has a lot of tricks. Xiao Zhaozhao, peel a shrimp for me!”

“Alright-” Hai Zhao responds cheerfully. Seeing Mother Yu’s expression, as if she has a fire inside her that can’t be vented in public, he stands up and plays the peacemaker.

“Auntie, Xiao Xi just got off the plane, and she’s still suffering from altitude sickness. She’s not feeling well, and Minglang and Xiao Qian can’t pick on her for that. Don’t be angry. If you need any help, I’ll do it!”

“Right, right! I’ve already sent all the gifts. What’s there to pick on?” Yu Mingxi nods with a face that says she is the good baby.

Mother Yu is about to explode with anger, but Yu Minglang has just brought Xiao Qian over and she can only swallow her anger and greet Xiao Qian with a smile.

“Xiao Qian, this is Ming Xi, our family’s Third, you are close in age, I’m sure you have a lot in common.”

“We’re several years apart, how are we close in age? I’m not the youngest, am I? Is this old cow eating tender grass, right, Xiao Qian?”

As soon as Yu Mingxi opens her mouth, the atmosphere at the table becomes awkward.

Everyone sitting at this table is a close relative of the Yu Family. After Yu Mingxi’s statement, everyone is staring at Xiao Qian, waiting for her reaction.

Mother Yu curses in her heart.

What kind of things has she given birth to? Just now Yu Minglang on stage almost gave Mother Yu a heart attack. Her seemingly open-minded daughter suddenly changed her temper, putting on the face of a top-notch sister-in-law. None of them are peaceful!

This is Xiao Qian’s first close contact with Yu Mingxi. She’s seen her more on TV before, and Xiao Qian doesn’t understand why Yu Minglang’s twin sister has such a strong smell of gunpowder when they first meet.

A typical woman would react with anger at such words, feeling humiliated.

Xiao Qian doesn’t know much about Ming Xi, but in the shortest few seconds, she summarized the following points:

1. Has a rebellious attitude, dared to defy her family’s expectations and join the entertainment industry
2. Excellent skills, beautiful singing voice, became a top singer in the shortest time
3. Has a good relationship with Yu Every time Yu Minglang mentions her, he uses words like “foolish,” “stupid,” “willful,” “girl,” but the fact that he often talks about her means that Yu Mingxi must hold a special place in his heart.

Combining these pieces of information together, Xiao Qian immediately understands something. The woman sitting in front of her can only be won with strategy, not brute force. It’s not that she can’t throw a King Bomb, but if it hurts Yu Mingxi, she’ll also hurt herself.

Moreover, Yu Mingxi just happens to give off a rebellious air of wanting to bring down the whole world with her. Maybe she’s eagerly awaiting a fierce fight with Xiao Qian. In such a state, Xiao Qian can only describe it with four words: feeling nothing but despair.

Xiao Qian hasn’t interacted much with her, but she knows she’s never sinned against Yu Mingxi. There’s no reason for her to target herself. If there’s no reason, it means there must be some untold secrets behind it.

So, when faced with Yu Mingxi’s provocation, Xiao Qian just smiles lightly, not confronting her directly.

“Yu Mingxi, that’s enough.” Yu Minglang intervenes, hearing his sister’s tone towards Xiao Qian, and warns her with a low voice.

“I’m talking to her, what’s it to you? Don’t stand in her way; let me see what kind of magic this little girl has to bewitch my little brother like this.”

The opening remarks were already bad enough. Now, the smell of gunpowder is even stronger.

Mother Yu’s face turns green at that moment.

When did her daughter become like this!? Such unruliness, defiance, and irrationality should be Aunt Yu’s line of work, right? How did her seemingly obedient daughter with a sense of propriety turn out like this?

Before Mother Yu could explode, Yu Minglang became unhappy first. He was about to deal with this ridiculous sister he hasn’t seen for a long time. Xiao Qian holds his arm and exerts a little force, signaling him not to speak.

Everyone at the table is paying close attention to the reactions between Yu Mingxi and Chen Xiaoqian. The atmosphere is explosive.

“I don’t have any magic powers, but I do have magic. I can not only bewitch your brother, but I can also make you like me.”

With this sentence, Xiao Qian manages to turn the tense atmosphere around. Yu Mingxi, who was previously glaring at her brother, turns her head to look at Xiao Qian.

“Are you sure?” She looks curious, as if surprised that Xiao Qian isn’t angry with her. According to Yu Mingxi’s investigation, Chen Xiaoqian is far from being an easy mark. She thought she’d dealt Xiao Qian a blow, but instead, Xiao Qian had deftly avoided a direct confrontation?

“Mm, I’m sure.”

“Haha, Xiao Qian is such a joker! Hahaha!” Hai Zhao immediately helps smooth things over, afraid that Yu Mingxi would make a scene in public and make things difficult for Xiao Qian, who had just provided her an out..
