Xu Fengnian, who was coming out of the kitchen, happened to see this scene, and a gratified smile appeared in his eyes.

She had been worried that her daughter and Ji Jingshen would have a conflict, but now it seems that the two get along quite well.

Relieved, she called everyone to the dining table: "Alright, stop chatting, let's eat!"

Everyone got up and sat down at the dining table. Because there were many people in the Song family, the elders and the younger generation sat at two separate tables.

Song Qianyi, Ji Jingshen, Song Qianyu, Cheng Linhao, and Chen Jialuo sat at one table.

Chen Jialuo had never gotten along with Song Qianyi. Seeing Song Qianyi sticking so close to Ji Jingshen, she assumed that Song Qianyi was pretending to be close to Ji Jingshen.

Disliking Song Qianyi's affected manner, she glanced at her and then looked at Song Qianyu and Cheng Linhao. At that moment, Cheng Linhao had just peeled a shrimp for Song Qianyu.

Chen Jialuo knew that Song Qianyi had always liked Cheng Linhao, and with a slight glint in her eye, she came up with a plan.

She looked on with envy, "Sister Qianyu, your fiancé takes such good care of you. You're so outstanding, and your fiancé is an exceptional man. You two are a match made in heaven. I'm so envious!"

As she spoke, she kept glancing at Song Qianyi, wanting to see how she would react.

But Song Qianyi remained expressionless, as if she hadn't seen it at all.

Seeing that Song Qianyi completely ignored her, Chen Jialuo's face darkened. She simply stopped pretending and looked at Song Qianyi with a mocking expression: "It's Cousin Qianyi who's always dreaming of a toad eating swan meat, without even considering whether she's worthy!"

Because Chen Jialuo kept looking at her and Ji Jingshen, Song Qianyi thought that she was saying that she was not good enough for Ji Jingshen.

Her expression turned cold: "Even if I'm a toad, everything I, Song Qianyi, choose is the best, which is still better than you having no one to choose from!"

Chen Jialuo's face turned ashen.

Song Qianyu, who had been silent the whole time, was initially pleased by Chen Jialuo's praise, but upon hearing Song Qianyi's words, she assumed that Song Qianyi was still coveting Cheng Linhao, and her expression turned ugly.

Song Qianyu put down her chopsticks and looked at Song Qianyi. "Sister, Lin Hao is very outstanding, but you can't covet my fiancé in front of me."

Song Qianyi was so angry she laughed. Just as she was about to retort, Cheng Linhao grabbed Song Qianyu's hand and began to pledge his loyalty: "Qianyu, it's no use for Song Qianyi to covet me. I don't care about a woman as rude and domineering as her. I only like you, and my heart will only be with you."

Upon hearing this, Song Qianyu's expression softened somewhat.

But Cheng Linhao's words were a direct insult to Song Qianyi, which she couldn't tolerate. Her anger surged, and she was about to flip the table, shouting, "Who are you calling rude and unreasonable!"

Suddenly, Ji Jingshen grabbed her hand under the table and shook his head at him.

Song Qianyi didn't know what Ji Jingshen was going to do, but out of respect for him, she restrained her anger and calmed down.

Only after Ji Jingshen saw that she had calmed down did he turn to meet Cheng Linhao's gaze.

He said in a low voice, "Qianyi's husband is me, so the person she has her eye on is also me. Qianyu and brother-in-law should not take this personally."

"Besides, she's a good person. I've lived with her for so long and I never knew she was such an unreasonable person. You should think about your own problems when you treat her like this."

This is a blatant mockery of their narcissism and poor character.

Cheng Linhao had been pampered since childhood and had never been ridiculed like this before.

His face instantly darkened: "What right do you, a mere captain, have to talk to me like that? If you offend me, you might lose your job as a captain!"
