Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Wish Check-in Machine

Chapter 186 The Mother of Char Siu Man 2 (12)

Xia Mingwei remained expressionless and made a "please" gesture.

This startled the emcee, who kept wiping the sweat from his forehead, and his voice trembled as he spoke.

"The groom's mother has given her blessing, so let's move on to the next step—the tea ceremony!"

The emcee's voice had barely faded when the murmurs from the crowd grew even louder. At this point, they no longer cared about manners and began whispering amongst themselves.

Luo Yefan, his face grim, roared at the emcee, "Do you think we can still serve tea under these circumstances? Is it appropriate to serve tea at this time?"

Since it was a job paid for, the emcee had no choice but to pick up the microphone. He was about to announce that the "tea ceremony" was canceled when Xia Mingwei stopped him.

"No way! Why cancel such a perfectly good event? I'm still waiting to drink tea with my daughter-in-law!"

The emcee was sweating even more; it was truly a battle of gods, and the little devils suffered.

If it weren't for the money, he would have quit on the spot! These two powerful figures are fighting, can they please not involve small fry like him?

Upon hearing this, Luo Yefan looked at Xia Mingwei and said, "Mom, if you want me to lose face, then you've succeeded! But today is a rare memory in my life, and I don't want to cause any more trouble!"

"If you are truly determined to humiliate me, then I have no choice but to ask you to leave early!"

As Luo Yefan spoke, his eyes were fixed on Xia Mingwei's face, not wanting to miss a single change in her expression.

"I just said all this to vent my anger! Now that I've vented, I naturally won't cause any more trouble! From now on, you and Shuqing can enjoy your time together!"

Hearing this, Luo Yefan remained wary, looking at her with suspicion. He didn't know what Xia Mingwei was really up to!

Surprisingly, Xia Mingwei didn't cause any more trouble until the tea ceremony was over.

Seeing that things were going smoothly, the emcee standing to the side breathed a sigh of relief.

After the tea ceremony, Xia Mingwei was supposed to make a gesture according to the procedure.

For families like theirs, the usual way to show their approval of their daughter-in-law is to give her shares, real estate, jewelry, and the like.

Shu Qing was naturally aware of these rules.

Seeing Xia Mingwei drink the tea she offered, Shu Qing unconsciously straightened her back a little. She pondered in her heart, wondering what kind of gift Xia Mingwei would give her.

Although she hadn't received the gift yet, she knew it would definitely be something special.

Even though she had just endured Xia Mingwei's difficult behavior, the thought of the upcoming gift completely dispelled her previous unhappiness, and she was overjoyed.

Her eyes were filled with expectation, her gaze earnest. Xia Mingwei naturally did not miss that burning gaze.

Xia Ming chuckled softly, "It seems my daughter-in-law can't wait for my gift?"

Upon hearing this, Shu Qing's face immediately turned bright red.

Her face flushed, and she replied softly, "Daughter-in-law wouldn't dare!"

Thinking that she hadn't received the gift yet, Shu Qing's words were noticeably more humble.

Xia Mingwei smiled and said, "Your gift? I've already prepared it! I hope you like it, but don't faint from joy!"

Hearing this, Shu Qing was somewhat indignant. These words clearly implied that she was being treated like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world!

After giving Shu Qing these instructions, Xia Mingwei calmly took the microphone back from the emcee.

At the same time, Luo Yefan's heart skipped a beat. He wasn't afraid of his mother making a fuss, but he was afraid she would give him a big surprise!

"Actually, everyone has misunderstood. I'm quite satisfied with Qingqing as my daughter-in-law! But today is their special day, so I can't be the only one happy, can I?"

For some reason, Shu Qing felt a sense of unease upon hearing these words. And once again, the facts proved that her intuition was correct.

Xia Ming smiled and said, "I've drunk this cup of tea from my daughter-in-law, so my son should also offer it to his parents-in-law! In our family, we don't subscribe to the idea of ​​belittling daughters-in-law or treating married daughters like water spilled from a bowl!"

Luo Yefan frowned, tugged at Xia Mingwei's sleeve, and whispered, "Mom, are you getting senile? Qingqing's parents died when she was very young! Bringing this up now is like rubbing salt into her wounds. So many people are watching, please stop, okay?"

Xia Mingwei brushed his hand away, staring intently at Shu Qing, and asked, "Is it really what he said? So, you're an orphan?"

A hint of unease flashed in Shu Qing's eyes. She bit her lip and forced a smile as she replied, "Auntie, I lost my parents when I was very young. I hope you won't make a fuss about this! If my parents were still alive today, they certainly wouldn't want my mother-in-law to nitpick about my 'orphan' status!"

Xia Mingwei wasn't surprised at all by Shu Qing's answer. It would be strange if someone like her were willing to tell the truth.

Xia Ming chuckled softly, "I see. It seems I misunderstood you, Qingqing! But I see you're a filial child, so I took it upon myself to ask a Taoist priest to perform a ritual and bring your biological parents back to life!"

"Resurrection?"

"Yes, I think you'll love this gift!"

Xia Mingwei held Shu Qing's hand and said in a feignedly affectionate manner.

Shu Qing was terrified. Didn't she know whether she was an "orphan" or not? Her mother-in-law's outburst today probably meant she knew about her family background. What was she going to do?

Before Shu Qing could process this fact, Xia Mingwei said to a door, "You can come in now!"

With a creak, the door opened.

Several poorly dressed people came out from inside. Shu Qing looked at their faces and found them all too familiar.

One of the men rushed up to Shu Qing and yelled at her, "You brat, you're getting bolder and bolder! I heard you outside just now. I'm not dead yet, and you dare to curse me? Are you asking for a beating?"

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if he was about to come over and hit someone.

The fear ingrained in her bones terrified Shu Qing. Because this person wasn't wrong; he really was her father, the real deal.

Before things were cleared up, Luo Yefan naturally didn't want anyone to ruin his carefully planned wedding.

He stood in front of Shu Qing and questioned the man, "Who exactly are you?"
