Lu Qiyao's father passed away early, and it took the mother and son many years to finally establish themselves in the Lu family.

An Ying lost her mother at a young age, and her father was completely indifferent to her, allowing his daughter to be bullied by Xu Mei and An Xiaoxiao.

An Ying deeply understands the pain of losing a loved one and having no family to rely on.

In the past, out of consideration for Lu Qiyao, An Ying was considerate of how hard-won their relationship was and did not want to strain their relationship, so she always tolerated him and suffered a lot of grievances.

When the two confirmed their relationship, An Ying wanted to make it official. However, Lu's mother looked down on An Ying's humble background and, seeing the Fu family's lukewarm attitude towards her and their attempt to distance themselves from her, became even more determined to oppose it.

A perfectly good relationship was turned into a clandestine affair that couldn't be made public.

On their anniversary, Lu Qiyao wanted to give An Ying a pair of matching diamond rings. However, after learning the price of the rings, Lu's mother locked her son's credit card overnight and even mocked An Ying as a gold digger.

After dating for several years, An Ying wanted to formally meet Lu's parents, but Lu's mother refused to let her in, sarcastically remarking that she wanted to transform herself from a sparrow into a phoenix.

……

There are too many of these kinds of things to count on your fingers.

Ye Rao used to criticize An Ying for having an excessive amount of saintly compassion, saying that people with excessive saintly compassion never have a good ending.

At first, An Ying didn't believe it. She naively thought that her understanding and tolerance could win Lu's mother's approval.

The facts are quite the opposite.

Lu's mother became even more domineering and abusive.

I should have known better than to do it.

Just then, I heard someone exclaim in surprise:

"Wow, look! Who's that woman?"

"It looks like Young Master Lu's fiancée? I just saw the two of them together up ahead."

"Wow, you have such a great figure..."

"Lu Qiyao is so lucky with women..."

An Ying followed everyone's gaze and looked over.

On the spiral staircase on one side of the banquet hall, An Xiaoxiao gracefully walked down the stairs.

All eyes in the banquet hall were on her.

An Xiaoxiao, who had attracted everyone's attention, was extremely pleased with herself.

She held her head high, like a proud peacock, accepting the envious glances of others.

Her burgundy deep-V dress accentuated her alluring curves, and her beautiful legs were faintly visible beneath the slit of the skirt.

An Xiaoxiao swayed her slender waist, and with each step down the stairs, her breasts would jiggle.

As An Xiaoxiao wished, she became the center of attention.

only……

Today's main character is Grandpa Fu. Most of the people attending the birthday banquet are also quite old, and everyone is dressed very conservatively.

An Xiaoxiao's dazzling appearance caused the elders in the banquet hall to avert their eyes, looking embarrassed, as if no direction was right.

An Ying turned to look at Lu's mother.

The noblewoman who had been so arrogant just moments before was now frozen in shock, her mouth agape in an "O" shape, unable to utter a single word.

An Ying happily picked up a glass of sparkling water and gulped it down while watching the show.

Heaven has eyes! This soon-to-be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are finally going to have a falling out.

An Xiaoxiao acted as if nothing was wrong, completely disregarding the opinions of others.

As soon as she came down the spiral staircase, her "plastic besties" immediately surrounded her, showering An Xiaoxiao with compliments:

"Isn't this the future young mistress of the Lu family? Lu Qiyao, you're so lucky."

"When is the formal wedding banquet? Don't forget to send me the invitations."

"Xiaoxiao, you have such a great figure. You didn't gain weight even during your pregnancy. I'm so envious."

……

These compliments pleased An Xiaoxiao greatly. She glanced at An Ying, a victorious smile playing on her lips.

An Xiaoxiao was surrounded by admirers, as if it were her own birthday.

She deliberately raised her voice: "For such a grand occasion as today, of course I have to dress up formally, unlike some people who deliberately pick out shabby clothes to get by."

She chuckled sweetly and said, "Some people are born to be delicate flowers, some are born to be nannies, maybe I'm just born to be a delicate flower."

Seeing An Ying dressed casually, An Xiaoxiao smiled even more smugly.

She cursed inwardly: Serves you right, you stole the dress I wanted to buy!

What I longed for but could not obtain, you expect to get so easily? What gives you the right!

An Xiaoxiao smiled smugly: You embarrassed me so much at the engagement party last time, now it's your turn.

An Xiaoxiao's smugness lasted only about ten minutes before Lu's mother rushed forward, pointed at An Xiaoxiao's nose, and angrily said, "You, you, what kind of outfit is this! What kind of slutty look is this! Go find some clothes to change into!"

An Xiaoxiao pouted unhappily, then clung to Lu Qiyao's arm and said coquettishly, "If you won't let me buy that diamond dress, then I'll wear this one. If you don't like it... then don't look at it! Humph!"

After saying that, she turned her head away, gave a coquettish cry, and snuggled into Lu Qiyao's arms.

Lu's mother hated these vixen-like women more than anything. How come she never noticed that An Xiaoxiao harbored such ambitions before?

Lu's mother ripped off her shawl and threw it at An Xiaoxiao's chest, angrily saying, "What kind of decent family's pregnant daughter-in-law dresses like this! You may have no shame, but I do!"

An Xiaoxiao pulled off her shawl, making her breasts stand out even more, and said domineeringly, "Who's shameless? You old fogey, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand fashion."

She called her old-fashioned...

Lu's mother felt a throbbing pain in her scalp and began to feel dizzy.

She noticed the familiar wives from wealthy families around her covering their mouths and laughing as they looked at her.

Lu's mother wished she could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

Ah, we can't dig it up. This is the Fu family's property, not the Lu family's.

Lu's mother raised her hand as if to hit An Xiaoxiao.

His hand was raised halfway before it froze in mid-air.

She glanced at An Xiaoxiao's slightly protruding belly, then gritted her teeth and endured it.

The Lu family has had only one son for seven generations, so her eldest grandson is of utmost importance.

Lu's mother lowered her hand after raising it.

An Xiaoxiao smiled victoriously, looking smug.

She was betting on the baby in her belly.

They actually won the bet.

In this battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, An Xiaoxiao emerged victorious.

Lu's mother's face turned ashen, her lips trembled slightly, and she swallowed all the foul language she was about to utter.

She's lived a long life, and she's never suffered such a loss before!

She dared to use her grandson to blackmail her before even entering the house. Just wait and see, An Xiaoxiao will have a good time from now on!

An Ying blinked, secretly amused. It was definitely more fun to watch the drama unfold.

Sure enough, a wicked mother-in-law needs a wicked daughter-in-law to deal with her.

Her mistake in the past was being too kind.

Halfway through the play, I suddenly felt something was off...

An Xiaoxiao has always been with Lu Qiyao, hasn't she?

Why did she come down from the second floor again?

When did she go upstairs?

An Ying was taken aback.

That dress is still upstairs.

She got up and left, jogging into the corridor connecting to the banquet hall, at the end of which was a staircase.

But she accidentally bumped into a man's arms.

The man naturally supported An Ying's lower back to help her stand up.

A magnetic yet gentle voice came from above:

"Slower."
