In front of Jiang Feng, her father showed such a disappointed expression towards her, Bai Zhiqing couldn't sit still!
She had thought countless times about leaving, and if it weren't for Jiang Feng stopping her, she would already be on her way back to Binhai!
At this moment, looking at the smug Bai Yanting, she couldn't swallow her frustration!
Bai Wenmo and Zheng Xiulan, as if completely unaware of their daughter's anger, continued to praise Zou Jingtian, leaving Jiang Feng aside, making him seem unnecessary.
"Oh right! Aunt Lan, what kind of good things did this prospective son-in-law bring you on his first visit? Let us and Jingtian see what's new."
Bai Yanting's gaze also landed on Jiang Feng, speaking with a pointed intent.
"What prospective son-in-law, it's not certain yet, nothing's set in stone!" Zheng Xiulan, who was initially quite happy, became impatient the moment her niece mentioned Jiang Feng, showing a face full of irritation.
"He did buy something! Didn't he? He bought me two boxes of cigarettes and liquor, which can be considered thoughtful, right?"
Bai Wenmo, being a man who valued face, helplessly pointed to the cigarettes and liquor Jiang Feng brought.
"Oh? It's Moutai and Suyan, haha, I didn't expect this brother to be quite generous. But, why do I feel like it's fake cigarettes and liquor? Could it have been bought from some fake market?" Bai Yanting exaggeratedly remarked.
She mocked Jiang Feng, not only because of her competitive nature with Bai Zhiqing since childhood, always wanting to one-up her, but more crucially, because of Jiang Feng's ordinary attire.
He clearly appeared to be a person from the lower class of society; how could such a person afford genuine Moutai or Suyan soft sands?
"Cousin, what nonsense are you spouting? Which eye of yours saw that Xiao Feng bought fake cigarettes and liquor? I personally accompanied him to buy these in the mall, don't slander us!" Bai Zhiqing said angrily!
She was incredibly grateful for Jiang Feng's heartfelt gesture and would not allow Bai Yanting to tarnish it.
"Oh dear, look at me, saying things I shouldn't have, even made you mad, I won't say anymore!"
Bai Yanting exaggeratedly covered her red-painted lips but still didn't hold back her laughter, "But normally, for this level of cigarettes and liquor, Jingtian would usually buy directly from specialized stores, it's easy to buy fakes in malls!"
"Bai Yanting, must you slander others like that? Are only your purchases genuine while everyone else's are fake? If you're so capable, why come to our house, who invited you anyway?" Bai Zhiqing stood up, angrily denouncing.
Bai Yanting was slightly startled, not expecting Bai Zhiqing to explode at her on Jiang Feng's behalf!
Under the gaze of several pairs of eyes, she found herself in an awkward position!
However, considering that she would need Bai Zhiqing's help in the next two days, Bai Yanting couldn't afford to fall out and forced a smile, saying, "Zhiqing, you see yourself getting all worked up, I was just joking, don't take it seriously..."
"Zhiqing, go wash some fruit for your future brother-in-law and cousin, go now!" Zheng Xiulan, seeing Bai Zhiqing getting a bit out of control, and fearing family tensions, immediately said.
"If you want to eat, wash it yourself, why should I wash? I don't owe her anything!" Bai Zhiqing snorted coldly as she sat back down, crossing her arms, raising her legs.
For so many years, she had tolerated Bai Yanting, even letting herself be wronged; but now that Bai Yanting dared to slander Jiang Feng in front of her, she would never let her off!
"You dead girl, can't I even tell you off? Go quickly! Xiao Zou and your cousin are guests, what are you angry with them for? You're becoming more and more unruly!" Zheng Xiulan scolded.
Bai Zhiqing immediately felt aggrieved; no matter how seductive she was outside, in front of her mother, she was still just a daughter, and Zheng Xiulan made no attempt to save her face.
At this moment, Zou Jingtian's eyes greedily swept over Bai Zhiqing's raised fair legs and perfect feet, swallowing a mouthful of saliva secretly.
But on the surface, he forced a calm smile, "Zhiqing, don't you know your cousin? She has no ill intent in her words, don't take it to heart, she's just joking."
Bai Zhiqing snorted coldly, ignoring this cooperative couple, finally got up in frustration and went to the kitchen.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Bai Yanting stared at her back, squinting her eyes, gritting her teeth, having resolved to settle the score later.
"Yanting, don't be angry, okay? Your cousin just has that kind of temper, don't take her too seriously."
Her daughter being humiliated, Zheng Xiulan instead apologized to Bai Yanting, fully exhibiting her snobbish nature.
"It's fine, since I'm her sister, I will tolerate her." Bai Yanting said with a sneer.
Jiang Feng frowned slightly.
He wasn't blind; he had noticed that this couple had been disrespectful towards him and Bai Zhiqing since they came in.
At first, out of respect for Bai Yanting as Bai Zhiqing's cousin, he hadn't said anything.
Just like how Jiang Feng always allowed Nangong Yan some leeway at home, giving face to her even when she acted up.
But if Bai Yanting thought she could take advantage by pushing boundaries, she was gravely mistaken!
"By the way, Brother Jiang Feng, right? May I ask where you work?" Suddenly, Zou Jingtian reached out to Jiang Feng with a smile.
"What kind of high position could he have? He's neither here nor there, Jiang Feng, stop chatting and go fetch a bag of flour." Zheng Xiulan hurriedly interrupted, addressing Jiang Feng.
She certainly didn't want Jiang Feng's identity as a low-level security guard to be exposed and become a laughingstock.
"Yes, you come with me, I'll show you where to get it, there's also oil and vegetables, since Xiao Zou is visiting, we'll make dumplings tonight." Bai Wenmo also said quickly.
"Uncle Lan, don't bother, we will leave after sitting for a while..." Bai Yanting feigned standing up.
"Leave? You must have a meal before going, you came all this way, we can't let you go back on an empty stomach, can we?"
After all, the couple had accepted the generous gifts, they couldn't just not entertain them, Zheng Xiulan turned and said coldly to Jiang Feng, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear me talking to you?"
Jiang Feng gave Zheng Xiulan a calm glance and smiled faintly, "Okay, I'll go get it."
