Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Jade shook her head and said, "We are a family. You are being too polite."

Henry and Joy grinned from ear to ear as soon as they heard Jade mention that they were a family.

"Your younger daughter is not only pretty, but she is very charming as well." Jade praised Shirley.

Upon hearing this, Shirley lowered her head and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, auntie."

They spent the next few minutes exchanging pleasantries and compliments. They looked like any other joyful family. Jean glared at the hypocritical Wen family. She knew that they were shameless, but she hadn't expected that they would try to be this underhanded after she had severed her relationship with them.

They had gone too far!

"Oh! Why don't we see Zed?" Henry looked around and asked.

Jade replied, "He is speaking with his friend."

"Oh, I see."

"Well, we hadn't informed anyone that we had returned. Now that we've been introduced, let's find some time to dine together. I will ask Zed to book a restaurant and inform you of the details."

Henry's eyes gleamed with greed and he nodded eagerly. "Why wait? Let's dine tomorrow. We will treat you to this meal as Jean has caused many problems since she married Zed. We owe you this much!" He offered with feigned innocence and humility.

"Really? I didn't know. From what I have seen, Jean has never brought us any trouble. I like my daughter-in-law very much."

Both sides of her family were being way too polite for Jean's comfort. She stared at Henry coldly.

Shirley was filled with inveterate hatred toward Jean, although she managed to feign a polite demeanor. 'Why is she so lucky? How did she end up being the one to marry into such a rich and powerful family? How is that ordinary Jean could gain favor from Zed's mother so easily, but I have to pretend to please her?'

With these thoughts running through her mind, Jade turned to Jean and asked, "Jean, what mischief are you up to?" Judging from what the Wen family had said, Jade could guess that some kind of sibling rivalry had caused the fallout. 'Could it really have been that bad that
