The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions froze. Everyone knew that the Second Young Mistress of the Yi Family was outspoken, but she didn't expect that she would be so careless in such a large gathering. It was unclear whether she was intentionally targeting Lin Jiaojiao, or was indirectly criticizing the two elders of the Yi Family.

The second son of the Yi family seemed to have inherited the family business, but the mines were given to the third son, who was just a tool to be responsible for his own profits and losses. It was nothing compared to what the eldest and third sons had.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Wen Zhao, knew that she had taken advantage of him, so she said nothing and just drank her tea.

The old man and the old lady also don't like Lin Jiaojiao. How can such a family raise a good daughter when her mother is a mistress and her father has a violent tendency?

The old man looked at Lin Jiaojiao with a rather unhappy expression. On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with his second son's wife, and on the other hand, he did not agree with Lin Jiaojiao.

Chu Mu watched all this without saying a word. Her identity today was Chu's secretary, so it was not convenient for her to say much. Even if she could please the old man and say a few words, she would not want to help Lin Jiaojiao.

She was not magnanimous enough to help her mother's mistress's daughter gain a foothold in her husband's family.

The atmosphere was gloomy, and Lin Jiaojiao's face gradually turned red. She hesitated and stepped forward, carefully handing over the gift. "Grandpa, this is a jade pendant that my father treasured, dating back to the Qing Dynasty. Compared to my sister's gift, it's a bit shabby. Please don't despise it."

The Yi family was wealthy and powerful, and Old Man Yi came from a prominent family. He had seen all sorts of fine things, and accepting gifts simply valued the thought. But Lin Jiaojiao's aggrieved tone made it seem as if they were forcing her to give him such a valuable gift.

Old Master Yi felt a little unhappy in his heart, but after all, he had experienced many ups and downs, so he looked more amiable: "It doesn't matter what you give as a gift, the most important thing is the thought behind it."

Old Master Yi took it, took a quick look at it, then closed the lid of the gift box and asked someone to take it away.

When Lin Jiaojiao saw this, she felt a pang of sadness in her heart.

Why did others still look down on her even though she stole Chu Mu's father, her job, and found Yi Fengteng, the prince of Zhucheng?

Even though Chu Mu had nothing, there were still so many people who liked her.

Lin Jiaojiao was unwilling to give up, and she vowed to get everything from Chu Mu, including this order from the British Royal Family.

After some pleasantries, the Yi family's kitchen had already prepared the meal. Everyone headed to the dining room, where a family of more than a dozen sat at a round table, eating dinner and chatting casually.

Sister-in-law Wen Zhao asked, "How many months has Feng Teng and Jiao Jiao's wedding been postponed to? Has the date been set?"

The eldest and second sisters-in-law had always been at odds over the division of property. Zhang Tingyu, who already disliked Lin Jiaojiao, immediately changed expression upon hearing this. With a sullen face, he said, "Let's wait and see. Feng Teng is so busy with company matters. He's so tired after we get married."

In other words, Lin Jiaojiao couldn't keep Yi Fengteng busy in her career. But he didn't have Yi Yichen's ability, so how could he let his temper take over their marriage?

"Auntie, don't worry. I will take good care of Feng Teng after we get married and will never let him work so hard." Lin Jiaojiao promised hurriedly. It was unclear whether she did not understand Zhang Tingyu's implication or was deliberately showing her loyalty.

But whatever her intention, Zhang Tingyu didn't buy it. She glanced at her and said nothing. Instead, she changed the subject to Chu Mu. Picking up a piece of vegetable, she asked, "When are you and Yichen planning to have children? Yichen is 32, not young anymore. At my and my sister-in-law's age, our children would have almost graduated from elementary school."

The unexpected induction of labor nearly choked Chu Mu to death on a mouthful of water.

Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Yi were overjoyed. Yi Yichen was a capable child born in old age, and when he was little, he was spoiled and didn't dare to say a harsh word. When he grew up, he started his own company, and its sales had long surpassed the family company by many times. The two elders didn't dare to ask too much about his personal affairs.

Today, the second sister-in-law mentioned it, and the two elders naturally refused to let it go. Old Master Yi smiled and asked hurriedly: "Yes, we have been married for half a year, and I haven't heard any movement in the belly."

"Have children sooner and have more. With more children, the house will be more lively." Everyone knew that Mr. and Mrs. Yi wanted to have grandchildren, and the eldest sister-in-law also joined in.

Seeing that the topic of inducing childbirth was becoming more and more intense, Yi Yichen opened his mouth.
