Chapter 1827 Who are you kidding?
Gong Jin'an looked at Gong Qiang and Lin Xiangxue: "Mom and Dad, Xinyan is really a very good girl. She is very good to me. I have never been treated so well in my life. Today's events must be a misunderstanding. After I marry her, you will spend more time with her and you will understand."
"She's just impatient and outspoken, but she doesn't actually have any bad intentions."
Gong Qiang was so angry that he was panting heavily.
Lin Xiangxue laughed in anger, restrained her agitated husband, and looked at Gong Jin'an, asking, "I only have one question for you."
"mom……"
"Why didn't you slap that woman across the face for talking about your sister like that?"
"I……"
"Or is everything she said something you tacitly approved of? Is that what you think of Xiaoxi in your heart too?"
Gong Jin'an shook his head: "I didn't, why would I think that? I know that Sister Xi is good to me."
Lin Xiangxue's eyes were filled with tears: "So, you knew that Xiaoxi was good to you and your parents, but you still let her laugh at and humiliate her in front of everyone?"
Gong Jin'an turned pale and took a step back: "She...didn't mean it..."
"You can't fool a three-year-old with that."
The only three-year-old in the room jumped up and shouted, "Yes, yes, I don't believe it!"
Lin Xiangxue affectionately reached out and touched Caibao's sea urchin fur. "Look, even such a small child knows how to protect his mother. Before, when Guan Xinyan scolded Shen Xi, Caibao jumped up and hit her."
But what about Gong Jin'an?
He was trying to persuade them to let things go and to forgive him.
Tears streamed down her face as she closed her eyes and said, "Gong Jin'an, you have no conscience."
"You go."
"Mom!" Gong Jin'an looked at her in disbelief: "Today is Dad's birthday, and you're trying to kick me out?"
“If you really knew it was your father’s birthday banquet today, you wouldn’t have done this.”
Today, in front of all their relatives and friends, they got into a fight with the Guan family. In fact, it was their relatives and friends who couldn't stand by and watch that led them to fight on their behalf.
They've already lost all face.
Since it's already lost, might as well just let it go!
Lin Xiangxue now seemed to have a rather "what's the use" attitude. "Old Gong, throw him out!"
Gong Qiang always obeyed his wife without question. Without saying a word, he picked up his son and threw him out.
The Guan family of three had just finished discussing their plans and were about to leave when Gong Jin'an was also thrown out.
They watched the man on the ground, and watched as the banquet hall door closed in front of them once again.
Shen Xi sighed and looked at Chen Chuan: "How did things get to this point?"
She was initially quite happy about something, and she was planning to bring Caibao over today for a proper feast. However, before the feast even started, they had a warm-up exercise first.
This made her wonder if Sister Caibao's constitution was a bit... a real troublemaker? She seemed to be getting into fights wherever she went.
Although today had nothing to do with her, Shen Xi couldn't help but have doubts.
Chen Chuan reached out and patted her shoulder: "Comfort your teacher and his wife."
"Ah."
Shen Xi walked to Lin Xiangxue's side, took her arm, and called out worriedly, "Master's wife."
Lin Xiangxue's eyes were red from holding back her tears, but after taking a deep breath, she smiled, squeezed Shen Xi's hand, and said to the silent crowd, "Come on, everyone, please sit down. The banquet is about to begin, so please don't stand."
We've already paid, so we can't refund the banquet, nor can we let everyone come for nothing, right? Besides, everyone put in a lot of effort, so we should reward them.
They exchanged glances but didn't say anything more, returning to their seats.
The waiters breathed a sigh of relief and began to bring out new bowls and plates, notifying the kitchen to prepare the dishes.
Who would have thought? The banquet hadn't even started, but the show had already begun.
And it was Gong Jin'an, that well-behaved child since childhood...
Lin Xiangxue smiled brightly, took her husband's hand, and said to Shen Xi, "Come on, Xiao Xi, come with us and toast everyone."
Shen Xi subconsciously looked at Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan gave her an encouraging smile.
She stepped forward with a smile: "Okay, Mrs. Teacher, let's toast the teacher a few more times later. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
"Okay! I won't come back until I'm drunk!"

The birthday banquet was lively and a great success.
The relatives and friends were also very tactful and didn't mention Gong Jin'an again.
Gong Qiang and his wife seemed unaffected, continuing with their lives as usual. However, their son's position had changed to Shenxi Station, and she accompanied the couple to social events, welcoming and seeing off guests. Finally, she successfully saw all the guests off and then took Gong Qiang and his wife home.
The teachers were all calm and only kept urging Shen Xi and the others to go home.
"Let's go quickly. We've been out all day with the child, Caibao must be tired."
Caibao wasn't tired at all; she was probably the only one in the room with a really good appetite.
Completely unaffected, she ate and drank heartily, enjoying everything she ate. She even ate two large chicken drumsticks all by herself.
She accepts all other dishes without hesitation and is not picky about food. She eats everything, even vegetables, in large mouthfuls.
Moreover, she doesn't need any adults to help her pick up food or take care of her; she uses chopsticks very skillfully and eats with great relish.
When someone pours her a drink, she even knows to raise her glass and say "Cheers!"
Shen Xi said softly, "Sweetie, eat slowly, don't overeat."
The little guy grabbed a rib in one hand and a pig's trotter in the other, his mouth greasy from gnawing on it. He whispered, mimicking his mother, "No, we've already given them a red envelope, so we have to eat our money's worth."
Shen Xi:......
Honey, you've already made your money back, haven't you? You coaxed Gong Qiang into giving you a ton of red envelopes with those birthday poems, and you're still thinking about those red envelopes you gave him before?
Silly boy.
Everyone's appetite was initially affected, but as Caibao ate, he managed to rekindle their appetites.
"This child eats really well."
"Just watching her eat makes my mouth water."
"How can someone so tiny eat so well?"
"It's not picky about food, and it's easy to raise."
……
Sure enough, Treasure is now at the age where he gets praised for everything, from eating and drinking to pooping.
Today, because of her presence, this terrible birthday banquet didn't seem so bad anymore.
Lin Xiangxue's gaze towards Caibao grew increasingly gentle and kind.
Now that they're home, she sees Caibao perched on her father's shoulder, her eyes half-closed and swaying, clearly reluctant to sleep. She affectionately touches her little hand and urges Shen Xi again, "Hurry up and take the child home. Look how sleepy our Caibao is."
Upon hearing her name, Caibao immediately struggled to wake up, smiled sweetly at her, and then said to Gong Qiang, "Happy birthday, Grandpa! May you live a long and healthy life!"
After saying that, she leaned on her father's shoulder and fell asleep completely.
The four adults paused for a moment, and then, without prior arrangement, they all laughed.
This kid.
Lin Xiangxue was both happy and heartbroken: "Hurry up, what are you dawdling for? How old are your teacher and I? Do you think we can't let such a small thing go?"
