Chapter 166: Chapter 166 The Old Lady Who Stands Up for Her People_1

When Shen Tianxing heard her tone, she really wanted to spit at her. What does it matter to you how Zixi and I got to know each other?

But then she thought about it, if she started arguing with this woman at the Dugu Family’s place, it would only lead others to look down on her, thinking that the Dugu Family had no taste for choosing her as Zixi’s fiancée.

With that in mind, Shen Tianxing replied with a smile, "Zixi and I are fated to meet despite being miles apart, aren’t we, Xixi?"

When Dugu Zixi heard her words, the frost on his handsome face broke into a shallow smile, "That’s right! I wasn’t afraid to travel a long distance to the countryside to meet Xiaoxing. What about it, Mrs. Sun? Do you have a problem with that?"

Mrs. Sun felt a chill in her heart as she met Dugu Zixi’s cold gaze.

She dared to pick a bone with Shen Tianxing, but she definitely didn’t dare to provoke Dugu Zixi.

Seeing Dugu Zixi looking at her coldly, Mrs. Sun quickly tried to smooth things over with a smile, "I’m sorry, so sorry, how could I possibly have an opinion on what Zixi does?"

Dugu Zixi responded coldly, "I don’t know you, so please refrain from calling me by my name. Address me as Young Master Dugu, thank you!"

Having said that, he turned to Shen Tianxing and said, "Xiaoxing, let’s go upstairs."

Just to avoid looking at these bothersome people any longer.

The older lady of the Dugu Family also waved at Shen Tianxing, "Go on, I will call you both down for dinner later."

Shen Tianxing stood up and smiled at the elder lady, "Okay, thank you, Grandma."

Just as they were about to go upstairs, Sun Yongmei suddenly stood up, her voice tinged with tears as she called out to Dugu Zixi, "Brother Zixi, don’t you remember me? When we were kids, I often came over to play with you..."

Dugu Zixi turned to glance at her and said coldly, "Sorry, I don’t remember."

After that, he took Shen Tianxing’s hand and went straight upstairs.

Once in his room, he closed the door immediately, as if by doing so, he could cut off all the nagging troubles outside, leaving just him and Xiaoxing alone inside.

Downstairs, the family of three was deeply wounded by Dugu Zixi’s ruthless indifference.

Mrs. Sun said with a sad face to the elder lady, "Aunt, why did Zixi speak like that? Our families have had years of friendship, yet he didn’t show any respect for us!"

The normally amiable older lady of the Dugu Family’s face darkened instantly upon hearing her words, "Liu Rong, respect is something you earn for yourself. If you don’t show others respect, why should they respect you? Do you think you’re that important?"

That woman dared to bully their Little Xingxing; who gave her the face to do so!

Mrs. Sun, chastised by the elder lady, suddenly went from red to pale, feeling a big lump in her throat that left her speechless for a long while.

Seeing that things were looking bad, her husband Sun Liguo quickly stood up, bowed slightly to the silent, stone-faced old Master Dugu who had been sitting there, as well as to the elderly lady, and said with sincerity, "Uncle, Aunt, I am truly sorry! My wife is just bad with words, sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. Please forgive her. It’s getting late, we’ll take our leave. I’m sorry for the disturbance!"

The elder lady had long wanted them to leave, and upon hearing Sun Liguo’s words, naturally, she wouldn’t ask them to stay, "Alright, take care."

She then raised her voice and called out, "Fu Ma, please escort the guests out."

Fu Ma quickly stepped forward and responded, "Yes, Elder Lady."

Fu Ma escorted the Sun family out and slammed the big door shut with a "bang."

Sun Liguo, Liu Rong, and Sun Yongmei, as a family of three, looked at the closed door of the Dugu Family, their expressions all turning grim.

Liu Rong said angrily, "That damn old hag, how dare she speak of me like that, it’s really infuriating! Why doesn’t she just drop dead?"

Sun Yongmei also spoke with a sense of grievance, "And Zixi Brother too, he actually forgot about me and spoke like that, he’s so heartless!"

Liu Rong snorted coldly, "It’s all because of that little seductress. With her around, I’m afraid our plans won’t come to fruition."

Watching his unimpressive wife and daughter, Sun Likuo also felt extremely frustrated.

Even if they dressed in their finest clothes, so what?

If they can’t even behave properly or handle affairs well, aren’t they still despised by the Dugu Family?

Yet, he only had one daughter, Sun Yongmei, who also looked quite attractive, which is why he hoped to try his luck to see if she could catch the eye of Dugu Zixi, and perhaps leverage the past comradeship between their fathers to climb up the ranks of the Dugu Family.

After his father passed away, Sun Likuo and his family immigrated to another country to live.

But life overseas wasn’t easy, and now, hearing that the domestic development was booming, they wanted to return home to develop their prospects, hoping to latch onto the golden leg of the Dugu Family and secure a splendid career for himself.

It was precisely because they had just returned to the country that they were unaware of the many events that had recently taken place in the Capital City, all of which were related to Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing.

Otherwise, even if they had ten times the courage, they would probably not dare to provoke Dugu Zixi and Shen Tianxing.

After they left, the old madam made a phone call to the guardhouse at the Imperial Compound, instructing them to remember, if that Sun family ever comes again, not to let them in.

Wanting to attach themselves to others without even knowing how to read people’s faces, and daring to provoke intentionally, the old madam truly did not wish to encounter and deal with such foolhardy people in the future, as they might spoil the atmosphere of the household.

Shen Tianxing, having observed the departure of the Sun family from upstairs with her Divine Sense, said to Dugu Zixi, "Let’s go down and accompany Grandpa and Grandma, it seems they were upset by the Sun family."

Dugu Zixi nodded, "Okay."

As soon as the old master and old madam saw the two of them coming downstairs, they brightened up again.

The old madam raised her hand, smiling and beckoning to Shen Tianxing, "Xiaoxing, come sit over here."

Hearing the old madam’s habitual polite call, Shen Tianxing couldn’t help but smile as well, and with a "Okay," she sat down next to the old madam again.

The old madam asked her gently, "Where did you go for fun today?"

Shen Tianxing replied with a smile, "We first went to the National Museum and Baorongfeng Auction House, then had Peking duck, and later visited the Ancient Imperial Palace, the old residence, the Imperial Garden, and also the Great Wall..."

The old madam asked further, "Did you have fun?"

Shen Tianxing nodded, smiling, "Yes, very fun."

The old madam’s eyes curved into a smile, "It’s good that you had fun. I’m just worried that if you don’t, you won’t come to the Capital City to see us anymore."

Shen Tianxing could hear the concern in the old madam’s words, and thinking back to the scene she had observed with her Divine Sense, where the old madam had put Liu Rong in her place, she felt a warm feeling in her heart.

Holding onto the old madam’s arm, she smiled and said to her, "Grandma, don’t worry, whenever I have time, I will come to visit you."

The old madam laughed heartily, giggling, "That’s a promise then, you can’t fool me, okay!"
