Dragon Blood Divine Son-in-law
Chapter 225 Wound Salting

Chapter 225: Chapter 225 Wound Salting

"I’m sorry, Auntie, I was in the wrong just now..."

Despite feeling wronged, Han Jingting dared not defy her mother’s command and had to apologize.

Ding Lijuan looked indulgently at Ding Liang and the others, seeking credit, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Liang, look, I have already scolded Jingting. Please don’t be angry now."

It was only then that Guo Yueling’s face revealed a smug and cold smirk, "That’s more like it!"

She also looked at her son Ding Liang with approval, thinking indeed, her son had the better tactics.

Then, Guo Yueling picked up the empty cup in front of her with a meaningful expression, "Oh dear, my tea is all gone, and nobody is offering me a refill!"

In reality, the teapot was right beside her.

Understanding the cue, Ding Lijuan quickly instructed, "Jingting, why aren’t you hurrying to pour your aunt some tea!"

Han Jingting was seething with anger.

Helplessly, Han Jingting had to pour tea for Guo Yueling herself.

"Sister, I’d like some too."

Ding Liang also pushed his cup forward, and Han Jingting had no choice but to fill it as well.

On the surface, Ding Liang behaved obediently, but inside he was full of a victor’s smugness.

So what about being a female CEO? You’re still the same as before. If I tell you to go east, you go east; if I tell you to go west, you go west!

Even your own mother has to stand on my side!

Seeing this scene, Han Bowwen felt incredibly dissatisfied.

Of course, he still loved Han Jingting, his daughter, more. After all, she was his biological child, unlike someone unrelated by blood.

However, in the presence of Ding Lijuan, he didn’t dare utter a word of dissent.

"Sister-in-law, Xiao Liang, what would you like for lunch? Your aunt will cook personally for you!" Ding Lijuan asked affectionately.

"Aunt, you’re going to cook personally?" Ding Liang was surprised, "Wasn’t it Chen Xuan, the son-in-law, who used to cook before? Why are you cooking now?"

"Oh, Jingting has decided to divorce that waste."

Ding Lijuan blurted out without a second thought.

Ding Liang turned to look at Han Jingting, about to say something, when his gaze inadvertently fell on Han Jingting’s hand.

"Eh? Jingting, what’s that in your hand?"

"It’s, it’s nothing..."

Han Jingting was about to evade, but Ding Lijuan snatched it away from her.

"Divorce papers? Ha ha, sister, you got a divorce?" Ding Liang looked very pleased.

Ding Lijuan was also ecstatic, "Divorced! We finally got rid of that waste! This is truly a great piece of news!"

Seeing his chance, Ding Liang said, "Aunt, since sister is also divorced, such great news, shouldn’t we go out and celebrate with a big meal?"

"That’s right, that’s right, Xiao Liang is so thoughtful! Such good news indeed calls for a celebration!" Ding Lijuan seemed even happier than during the New Year.

Seeing the reaction of Ding Lijuan and the others, Han Jingting felt a wave of disappointment.

The divorce was already extremely painful for her and her daughter, Xiaoyu. Her family had been torn apart.

Yet Ding Lijuan and the others were celebrating this, which was like rubbing salt into Han Jingting’s wounds!

"If you want to eat, go ahead, I’m not in the mood!" Han Jingting said coldly.

Guo Yueling’s face immediately drooped, "You’re in the mood to dine with those big bosses, but not with us. What does that mean? Do you think dining with us is beneath you?"

"When have I ever said that!" Han Jingting was so angry she wanted to explode.

Ding Liang also quickly chimed in, "Exactly, Mom, my sister would never think that! Since it’s settled, let’s go out to eat together tonight. I have something important to discuss with you too!"

"I..." Han Jingting found herself at a loss for words.

If Guo Yueling was a sharp knife that jabbed at anyone she saw, then Ding Liang was more like a soft knife, seemingly innocent and cute but actually able to wear people down with his hidden barbs!

And there you have it, before Han Jingting could utter a word, she was already neatly arranged by Ding Liang.

At noon, Han Jingting had no choice but to take Ding Lijuan and Ding Liang to Huai City Banquet for a meal.

"Aunt, I also heard that this restaurant has a signature dish, braised beef brisket that’s really good. Unfortunately, it seems this dish is only specially provided in the Supreme Private Room, so we probably won’t be able to have it."

Ding Liang put on a disappointed face.

Guo Yueling quickly echoed, "Don’t worry, your aunt knows it’s your favorite, braised beef brisket. She wouldn’t let you long for it in vain."

Han Jingting was speechless with this mother-son pair.

It was just a wish to dine in the Supreme Private Room, could their hinting be any more obvious, did they really take her for a fool?

Before Han Jingting could refuse, she heard Ding Lijuan immediately make the decision, "Since Xiao Liang wants to eat it, of course I won’t let him be disappointed. Jingting, book the Supreme Private Room now, make sure Xiao Liang gets his braised beef brisket!"

Han Jingting was dumbfounded, "Mom, there are only five of us, do we really need to book the Supreme Private Room?"

Han Bowwen also hurried to persuade, "Exactly, I’ve heard that just the fee for the Supreme Private Room here is tens of thousands, it’s really not worth it!"

However, as soon as Han Bowwen’s words were out, he was furiously berated by Ding Lijuan.

"What do you mean it’s not worth it? Xiao Liang has not visited our home in a long time, what’s wrong with treating him to a good meal! Jingting, are you going to book the room or not? If you’re reluctant, we can use my money! It’s just a meal, I’m your mother and I can afford it no matter how poor!"

With things said to this extent, Han Jingting did not dare to oppose and reluctantly compromised.

However, after asking the front desk, Han Jingting returned helplessly.

"Looks like we can’t even eat it if we want to today, the Supreme Private Room has been booked by someone else, now there are only regular seats left."

"Booked? Jingting, you’re not deceiving us, are you?" Guo Yueling asked with a suspicious look.

Han Jingting forcefully suppressed her anger, "If you don’t believe it, you can go ask for yourself."

Guo Yueling actually went to the front desk, and of course, obtained the same result.

With no choice left, everyone had to settle for a regular table.

Just at that moment.

"Oh, isn’t this my brother-in-law?" Ding Liang and the others happened to bump into Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan was here on someone else’s invitation and did not expect to run into Han Jingting’s family coming to dine here, which also took him by surprise.

Guo Yueling snorted coldly, "What brother-in-law? Jingting has already divorced that loser, you should say ex-brother-in-law!"

Over the years, Chen Xuan had also endured a lot from Guo Yueling and Ding Liang, and naturally, he had no good feelings towards them.

"I’m busy, I’m leaving now."

As Chen Xuan spoke, he turned to leave but was stopped by Ding Lijuan.

"What kind of attitude is that! Even though you’ve divorced Jingting, we’re still your elders. You see us and don’t even greet us, didn’t your mom teach you manners? How rude are you!"

Chen Xuan frowned, just about to say something, but Han Jingting spoke up first, "Mom, Chen Xuan didn’t provoke you, why are you speaking so unpleasantly?"
