The Malevolent Female Villain Turns Out to Be Me-Chapter 170: Brushing for goodwill has turned into negative

The banquet was over, and the guests who attended were leaving one by one. Now Shi Shuning had a chance to make a good impression on Xiao Yongze and his wife.

At the banquet, he had wanted to approach them several times and then hold Mengmeng's hand, but he was always dragged away directly by Xiao Yuanning. Now that Xiao Yuanning was seeing the guests off at the entrance of the banquet hall, he had finally seized the opportunity to hold her hand.

Xiao Yongze looked at the young couple walking towards them hand-in-hand, and he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Previously, he had thought Shi Shuning was a decent boy, but now, he suddenly felt like chopping off his claws.

"Dad, Mom!" Xiao Jinmeng called out sweetly.

"Uncle and Auntie, hello," Shi Shuning greeted politely.

Xiao Yongze nodded without saying a word, his eyes fixated on their joined hands. To make matters worse, Shi Shuning gripped Mengmeng's hand even tighter to show how affectionate they were.

If eye daggers really existed, Shi Shuning could now choose to be reincarnated.

Song Jiaxi knew what her husband was thinking, so she nudged him with her elbow and then smiled at Shi Shuning, "Shuning, do you have time tomorrow? Why don't you come over to our place for dinner?"

Shi Shuning immediately nodded, "I have time, of course I have time!" When his future mother-in-law invited him, he had to make time even if he didn't have any!

Song Jiaxi nodded, "Alright, then what would you like to eat? Auntie will cook for you tomorrow."

"Auntie, I like to eat Mengmeng..." Before he could finish, Xiao Yongze shot him an eye dagger, and Shi Shuning shuddered, quickly continuing, "The things she loves to eat!"

I like to eat the things Mengmeng loves to eat, yes, that's right! 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝘯𝘰𝓿𝑒𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝑚

"Auntie, you don't need to prepare anything special for me. I like whatever Mengmeng likes!"

Xiao Yongze's expression finally improved a bit.

Song Jiaxi was amused by the two of them and covered her mouth to stifle her laughter, "Okay, okay, then I'll make a few more dishes tomorrow."

After Xiao Yuanning had seen off the guests and returned, he saw that his sister's hand was tightly gripped by Shi Shuning's claws, so he immediately rushed between them and separated their hands.

Xiao Yongze gave his son an "excellent work" look, and Xiao Yuanning received it with a smug expression on his face.

He glared fiercely at Shi Shuning and said, "Brother Shuning, my sister is shy, so it's better not to hold hands in public."

Xiao Jinmeng looked utterly confused: Is he saying I'm shy? No, I'm not really that shy...

Just as she was about to say something, Xiao Yuanning immediately turned his head and smiled at Xiao Jinmeng, "Sis, there's someone selling candied hawthorn, strawberry, and kiwi fruit at the entrance. Do you want some?"

Xiao Jinmeng's eyes instantly lit up, and whatever she had wanted to say before was immediately forgotten as she exclaimed excitedly, "Yes, yes, let's go buy some!"

Seeing their departing figures, Shi Shuning felt disheveled and pitiful as he stretched out his empty hands, feeling wronged in his heart.

My wife only has eyes for food and not me...

Ye Wanwan, who was flirting with He Junting, saw Xiao Jinmeng leaving and immediately called out, "Mengmeng, wait for me, I'll come with you!" Then she directly left He Junting and ran off.

He Junting sighed and walked over to Shi Shuning, saying, "You see, my wife only has eyes for your wife! So, you'd better keep your wife in check!"

Shi Shuning: "But shouldn't you manage your wife first? I'll manage my wife, but your wife will still only have eyes for my wife."

He Junting: !!!

Ah, it seems unsolvable!

Xiao Yongze just stared fixedly at Shi Shuning. Wife? Who is your wife? You haven't even grown hair yet, and you're calling my daughter your wife?

He didn't know what Mengmeng saw in him either. Hmph, this stinky boy must have tricked Mengmeng with a single lollipop because of her naivety!

No, no, he had to discuss this with Old Shi later and get him to properly discipline his son. He couldn't let him lead Mengmeng astray.

Shi Shuning didn't know that instead of making a good impression, he had actually earned negative points. His future father-in-law had already condemned him for "deceiving an innocent young girl." He only felt a chill down his spine.

Shi Shuning thought the banquet hall had become colder with fewer people, so he shivered and sniffed, not paying much attention to it.

In an ordinary residential building in the Hai City Development Zone.

Liu Lawyer, as usual, drove to this place to visit Jian Hongmei. What he didn't know was that there was a taxi following him from a distance behind.

Liu Lawyer took the elevator to the 10th floor and knocked on Jian Hongmei's door. When no one came to open it after a while, he became a little worried.

"I hope nothing happened to the lady!"

Thinking this, he immediately took out a spare key from his bag and opened the door, rushing inside. Liu Lawyer was stunned by the scene in the living room.

The living room was littered with broken cups, vases, and other items. The TV screen was also cracked like a spider web, as if it had been hit by something.

Jian Hongmei was sitting on the sofa, hugging her knees, her eyes blank, her hair disheveled, making Liu Lawyer's heart skip a beat.

Could it be a burglary? Judging by the lady's appearance, was she also...

Liu Lawyer approached Jian Hongmei and asked anxiously, "Madam, what happened? Are you alright?"

Upon hearing the voice, Jian Hongmei's eyes finally regained their light.

She had watched the live broadcast of the family reunion banquet. Already harboring resentment towards Xiao Yongze, she became furious when Xiao Yongze exposed the past incident to the public, causing the entire nation to condemn her husband.

Blinded by rage, she started smashing things to vent her anger. Only after destroying everything in the living room did she feel somewhat relieved.

Jian Hongmei looked at Liu Lawyer and sneered, "Hmph, why does Xiao Yongze deserve to be revered like a deity, while my husband has to become a rat in the gutter, condemned by everyone?"

Liu Lawyer pondered for a moment before understanding why the living room had become such a mess.

He sighed and said, "Madam, please don't dwell on these matters anymore. Mr. Xiao hopes that you can live a peaceful and happy life from now on. How can Mr. Xiao be at ease if you behave like this?"

"Madam, please don't watch these things anymore. Just focus on living your own life, okay?"

Jian Hongmei let out a cold laugh, "Live a good life? Hmph, if it weren't for Xiao Yongze, Wenyao wouldn't have left me! We would still be living a happy and blissful life!"

"Liu Lawyer, aren't you angry too? Wenyao used to pay you so much salary, and now he's in prison. Don't you want to help him?"

Suppressing the anger at the bottom of his heart, Liu Lawyer explained, "Madam, by taking care of you, I'm helping Mr. Xiao Yongze. He asked me to look after you for the rest of your life. Whatever you need, I'll provide it. Isn't what I'm doing enough?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a shrill, furious voice came from the doorway: "Well done, Old Liu! You dare keep a mistress behind my back and call her 'Madam' - how dare you! You're clearly not taking me, your lawful wife, seriously!"

Recognizing the familiar voice, Liu Lawyer froze, then turned around only to be slapped hard across the face.
