Chapter 466: Call Su Jing Out

With a radiant smile, Gu Zi said, “Save this for your father to enjoy. I’ll fetch a couple of partially thawed frozen pears from the fridge and prepare them in a different way for you.”

Gu Zi moved towards the refrigerator and retrieved two frozen pears. She then proceeded to the kitchen, peeled the fruits, sliced them into thin pieces, and chopped them finely. She added a handful of raisins for garnish, and just like that, a plate of frozen pear granita was ready.

Gu Zi divided the pear granita into several small portions and served them to the eager tasters. Each one savored the dish with evident delight. Su Bing commented, “This preparation tastes even better.” He relished the icy texture and the lingering sweetness.

However, little Lele was rather pitiful. Gu Zi had only allowed her to taste a bit of the pear juice earlier, and now, due to the granita’s icy nature, Gu Zi was hesitant to let her have any, fearing it might upset her stomach.

Lele alternated between glancing at Gu Zi, Su Jing, and her two brothers. Her emotions finally reached a breaking point, and tears of disappointment welled up in her eyes.

Everyone had initially found the situation somewhat amusing, but seeing the little girl’s flushed face and her pitiful expression, they couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy.

Gu Zi set down the granita and scooped up the little girl, feigning annoyance as she declared, “If they won’t let Lele eat, then Mommy won’t eat either. Let’s go play with Big Yellow instead!”

With that, Gu Zi carried the little girl outside, where Big Yellow managed to cheer her up after a while. Only then did Lele’s smile return.

Just as Gu Zi was about to re-enter the house, a commotion arose from outside. Upon seeing the source, Gu Zi confirmed her earlier suspicions.

Su Jing had returned, likely from the Tian family’s place. Given the current tensions between the two families, Su Jing’s relationship with the Tians was hardly any better. And sure enough, the Tians had followed her home, causing a ruckish scene much sooner than Gu Zi had anticipated.

Gu Zi confronted Mother Tian, asking, “What are you here for?”

Having interacted with Gu Zi before, Mother Tian had a basic understanding of her. She knew Gu Zi was not someone to be trifled with, but she had come with a purpose today – to take Su Jing back with her. After all, Su Jing had been living off the Tian family, and she couldn’t just freeload forever.

Mother Tian believed that on such an important day as the Festival of Xia Yuan, Su Jing should be at the Tian’s, serving her son, Tian Hai. She said to Gu Zi, “You’re Su Jing’s sister-in-law, right? I won’t bother you. Just call Su Jing out. I need to speak with her.”

Without further ado, Gu Zi called for Su Jing. After all, this was an issue between Su Jing and the Tian family, and it was only right that they should be the ones to resolve it.

Su Jing emerged, her voice laced with cold sarcasm. “Aunt Tian, save your breath. I won’t be joining you in paying respects to your ancestors. I haven’t even married into your family yet, it’s not my place to do so.”

In truth, Su Jing’s decision to return home for the ancestral rites was influenced by the Tian family. Mother Tian had insisted she participate in their family’s ancestral rites, a request she was naturally disinclined to fulfill. She had no intention of marrying Tian Hai at this point. The only reason she hadn’t left yet was that she had unfinished business.

This issue had caused a significant rift between her and Mother Tian, prompting her to return to the Su family home ahead of schedule. What she hadn’t anticipated was Mother Tian following her.

Mother Tian, however, was not one to back down easily. “Why isn’t it your place? You’re going to marry my son, so this year you must fulfill this duty. Come out and return with me, we’ll discuss this back home!”

Mother Tian believed that Su Jing still intended to marry her son. Otherwise, why would she stubbornly remain in the Tian household? If she still wished to become a daughter-in-law of the Tian family, she would have to listen to her future mother-in-law!

Su Jing stepped outside, a smile playing on her lips. “I’m not afraid to come out. But I don’t think the Tian family has the guts to step foot in Su territory. I won’t be returning with you today. Tomorrow, I’ll be attending the Su family ancestral rites. Once the ceremony is over, I’ll naturally return. After all, the Tian family has spent so much money on me, would it be right for me not to return?”

Mother Tian was taken aback by Su Jing’s blatant disrespect in front of others. She had come all this way to bring Su Jing back, and this was the attitude she received in return?

Fine, once this woman stepped into her house, she would assume the role of a mother-in-law and teach her a lesson, making it clear who truly held power in the Tian family!

Mother Tian, having made up her mind, decided not to say more. She turned to Su Jing and said, “Su Jing, I’ll ask you one more time, and this is also a question from Tian Hai, will you come back with me now?”

Su Jing tilted her chin up, her hand idly playing with her ear, exuding an air of calm. “I’ll say it again, I’m not going back today. Aunt Tian, you might want to get your hearing checked.”

Mother Tian’s face turned beet red with anger. She wanted to curse, but held back due to Gu Zi’s presence. Finally, she spat out one last sentence, “Fine, if you won’t come with me today, then don’t bother coming back to my house. Stay in your Su family home, continue being an old maid who can’t get married…”
