In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 129: Never Been Ordered Around Since Childhood

Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Never Been Ordered Around Since Childhood

Liang Shiyu still felt like coughing a little and took two more sips until her cup was empty.

Xie Linchuan was about to ask the servant to pour more water, but before he could say anything, Aunt Liang raised her voice and said, "Jinzhi, go and pour a cup of water for Shiyu."

As soon as Aunt Liang’s words were out, the entire dining room fell silent in an instant, even the sound of Liang Shiyu’s coughing stopped.

Everyone at the dining table glanced unintentionally or otherwise towards the person who had just spoken, as if trying to figure out who would say such a thing.

Did she come to visit relatives this morning without waking up properly?

"Mom! What are you talking about?" Liang Yu said in a hushed tone.

Liang Yu knew very well what that woman’s temper was like, and now that his mother spoke to her with such an attitude, she was sure to get angry!

Aunt Liang turned her head to see the anxious look on her son’s face and realized that there was something wrong with what she had said.

Especially in the face of the sudden silence and the more or less direct gazes, she couldn’t help feeling a bit panicked.

She had heard from her son that Xu Jinzhi was usually very proud and looked down on everyone, and it was because of her that Liang Yu had trouble a while ago, so it was hard not to bear some resentment in her heart.

So she spoke out of turn just now; her niece was her sister-in-law, the future mistress of the Xie Family. What’s wrong with her serving her sister-in-law a little?

But the reaction from everyone else told her that she had stirred up trouble.

Aunt Liang subconsciously explained, "I didn’t mean anything by it, I just saw she wasn’t busy, and since Shiyu was coughing and feeling uncomfortable, I asked her to pour a cup of water."

Whether Aunt Liang really had any other intentions, she wouldn’t admit it now, and no one was going to specifically point it out.

But the dining table remained silent, because everyone knew that what Aunt Liang had just said was a command to Xu Jinzhi.

That miss, born with a silver spoon in her mouth, had probably never been ordered around like that in her entire life.

Xie Yanchuan’s face was also very ugly. If such a thing had happened to him, he might not have any objections at all.

But such a thing happening to Xu Jinzhi was something Xie Yanchuan couldn’t tolerate.

Just as Xie Yanchuan was ready to speak, the servant hurried over with a kettle. Since Liang Shiyu began coughing, the servant was already rushing to pour water.

But the servant didn’t know what had happened in such a short time.

Why had the atmosphere become so strange?

"I don’t want this." Xu Jinzhi moved the shrimp that Xie Yanchuan had just peeled and placed in her bowl back into Xie Yanchuan’s bowl.

Xie Yanchuan asked subconsciously, "Don’t you like it?"

There weren’t many seafood dishes Xu Jinzhi liked, and shrimp was one of her favorites.

"I’ve already had plenty," Xu Jinzhi shook her head; she was truly full.

Then Xu Jinzhi turned to look at Liang Shiyu, and with a half-smile, she asked, "Sister-in-law, still feeling uncomfortable? Do you need me to pour you some water?"

Liang Shiyu’s face turned pale. When had she ever dared to have Xu Jinzhi pour water for her?

Technically speaking, pouring water was a minor matter that anyone could do. However, the two of them had a bad relationship and were certainly not in a position to pour water for each other.

Even if she really did have the intention, she couldn’t possibly say it to Xu Jinzhi with such a tone.

Liang Shiyu smiled with difficulty, "Thank you, I’m fine now."

"It’s good that everything’s fine now," said Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi then looked back at everyone, "Big sister-in-law is alright now, let’s all start eating."

With these words from Xu Jinzhi, the awkward atmosphere was broken once again, but no matter what, it couldn’t be the same as it was at the beginning.

After the dinner was over, relatives started to leave one by one, and the once bustling villa quieted down again.

Old Master Xie simply said he was tired and wanted to rest, then went straight to the bedroom.

Xie Suian and He Shuying also left without saying anything.

Liang Shiyu had wanted to say something to Xu Jinzhi, but she couldn’t get the words of apology out, and even when Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan left, she still hadn’t managed to say it.

Liang Shiyu felt extremely aggrieved. When she returned to the bedroom with Xie Linchuan, she started to cry, "Xu Jinzhi must blame this on me!"

Xie Linchuan had to quickly comfort her, "No, she won’t. Those weren’t your words, what does it have to do with you?"

"But that’s my great aunt!" Liang Shiyu was really furious. It was one thing for her parents to come over, but why did her uncle’s family behave like this?

To show up was one thing, but to dare speak those words!

Xie Linchuan didn’t know how to comfort Liang Shiyu, after all, the Liang Family did have a big problem.

In fact, Xu Jinzhi hadn’t taken the matter to heart at all, as her relationship with Liang Shiyu had been destined since their past lives.

She wouldn’t change her view of Liang Shiyu just because today’s issue had nothing to do with her.

Now, motivated and enthusiastic, Xu Jinzhi was planning the trip the day after tomorrow with Xie Yanchuan.

They hadn’t gone on a honeymoon trip in their last life, but this time Xu Jinzhi still wanted to go. Although they indeed had no time at the beginning, she had kept it in mind.

Happily, the New Year break provided a few days off – perfect for a getaway.

~

On the third day of the New Year, there was nothing much to do, so they spent it at the Xie family’s old house. Early on the fourth day, Xu Jinzhi and Xie Yanchuan set off.

Xu Jinzhi disliked the cold, and with limited time, they didn’t go abroad but directly to Yun Province. freёnovelkiss.com

In her last life, after retirement, Xu Jinzhi had visited this place many times, but even so, Yun Province now was very different from what it had been decades later when she had visited.

When they first arrived in Yun Province, Xu Jinzhi planned to casually explore the area today and have a good rest at night so they could enjoy the next day properly.

Xie Yanchuan always cooperated with Xu Jinzhi’s plans, going along with whatever she said.

They retired early to the hotel for the night.

But the next day, Xu Jinzhi couldn’t get up early as planned.

Seeing the bright sunshine outside and the wall clock in the dining room pointing to ten o’clock, Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan with an aggrieved face.

It was all because he had disrupted her plans!

Xie Yanchuan, seeing this, had no good defense and said gently to Xu Jinzhi, "Let’s go to the beach today and plan to climb the mountain tomorrow."

Xu Jinzhi didn’t respond to Xie Yanchuan, just snorted coldly, shifted her gaze away, and silently continued with her breakfast.

Fortunately, Xu Jinzhi didn’t dwell on the matter, and by the time they set off for the beach, her mood had already improved.

Xie Yanchuan kept a careful eye on Xu Jinzhi’s mood, and seeing that she was feeling better, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
