Chapter 738: Chapter 738 Scum Just Asking for Abuse 4

Ye Ning was a clever girl. Upon witnessing the scene, she didn’t expose the farce, but instead stood there with a shallow smile, watching her awkward mother-in-law make the payment, buy items, and then hand them over to the servants following behind.

After making their rounds, the mother and daughter-in-law duo purchased some small items as well.

Of course, most of the selections were made by Ye Ning, with Bai Tingfang footing the bill, and her attitude during payment was just as reluctant as at the beginning, to the clear distress of the shopkeepers.

With such apparent reluctance to buy what her daughter-in-law liked, the onlookers were concerned it might lead to a quarrel between the two once they got home.

What shocked everyone, however, was that despite her resistance and displeasure during her daughter-in-law’s shopping spree, when the daughter-in-law chose something for her, she actually agreed to buy it!

And the price was not cheap!

It seemed that the mother-in-law was just this kind of secretly flamboyant person.

As the pair continued to shop, intending to buy a painting to decorate Bamboo Garden during the New Year, they unexpectedly encountered two acquaintances in the store, who also had their eyes on the same painting they were interested in.

"Han Duo, sister? What are you doing here?"

Seeing these two individuals, Ye Ning was the first to recognize someone she knew and promptly exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Tingfang was also astonished because she recognized the other person among the two—La Chenxi, the young mistress of the La Family!

How could she be here?

Wasn’t she supposed to be sued by her son? Today was supposed to be the final verdict; how come she had suddenly appeared here, shopping? Could it be that she was let off?

Upon considering this, Bai Tingfang’s gaze turned sinister for a moment...

Similarly, La Chenxi saw the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Just less than a month had passed since these two women were sworn enemies, yet now they were actually shopping together in Jiabocheng—one sitting, the other pushing the wheelchair. Instantly, La Chenxi’s hand stiffened, and her complexion changed.

"Oh, Auntie, what a coincidence, are you out shopping too?"

"There’s no auntie here for you to claim kinship with for the sake of fortune. You had better be sure of the person before you make such a call."

Tingfang’s tongue was truly sharp; with just a few words, the acerbic and venomous remarks were let loose. If there weren’t others present, the woman across from her would likely have lost all face on the spot.

Yet even so, Ye Ning, sitting in the wheelchair, quickly noticed that the girl standing beside Han Duo, with a very pretty face, had turned so red in anger that even her neck appeared swollen.

Why was this girl so angry?

Had she been offended by what the mother-in-law had just uttered so nastily?

Ye Ning felt a little embarrassed and was unsure of what to say.

Han Duo, who stood beside the woman, remained silent as well, simply watching the scene unfold impassively, as if everything happening had nothing to do with her.

It was as if time had stopped. In the air, except for the faint sound of someone’s erratic breathing, there was basically nothing else to be heard.

Claiming kinship for fortune?

This old woman was truly cruel. During her trip to Japan to seek her help, she didn’t remember her being anything but enthusiastic, and there was that time she asked how she could kill the ’cheap woman’ in front of her in such a familiar manner.

And now she’s talking about claiming kinship for wealth?

La Chenxi, who had been staring intently at the two women, finally let out her intense indignation. A hateful light sparked in her eyes, emerging bit by bit: "Auntie, I remember you didn’t use to talk like this. This ’auntie’ is what you told me to call you."
