Xia Bing observed them, thinking the beautiful Susan and Xia Hou Zun looked well-matched.
“Not bad. Using the smile strategy I taught,” Xia Bing ate something, continuously praising.
Xia Hou Zun looked at the somewhat unrefined woman, “Are you very hungry? I’ve noticed you’ve been eating a lot.”
“What, are you concerned? It’s our family’s event, so why be stingy?” She was just a wallflower, and the only comfort was the food.
“I’m worried no man will want to marry you if you eat like this. These things will be thrown away anyway,” Xia Hou Zun looked disgustedly at the nearby noble young ladies and Xia Bing’s eating.
“Rich homes’ meat stinks, while the road is lined with frozen bones,” Xia Bing angrily ate another bite, frustrated by the wealth disparity.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Hou Zun noticed her expression and looked down.
She mumbled unintelligibly – she’d bitten her tongue. Xia Hou Zun quickly took her to the restroom.
“Sister Ling, don’t be angry. Now that Xia Hou Zun has that position, bringing him down won’t be difficult. Don’t worry, my family will support you.”
Birds of a Feather
In the bathroom, Xia Bing involuntarily cleaned her ears – such a ‘sharp’ voice was truly terrifying.
“Are you sure you won’t be charmed by Xia Hou Zun? Don’t end up not helping me,” Xia Hou Ling teased.
The woman laughed, saying if she became Xia Hou Ling’s sister-in-law, she’d definitely make Xia Hou Zun respect Ling.
Xia Hou Ling thought about the woman Xia Hou Zun brought, “I just saw my brother talking to a woman from who knows where.”
The woman told Xia Hou Ling not to worry.
“It’s not that I’m being cautious. You know how Xia Hou Zun came into our family. Wasn’t it because his mother shamelessly approached my father? She was lucky to have given birth to a son. Otherwise, she would never have dreamed of entering the Xia Hou family. Just look at what kind of woman she is…”
Xia Bing furrowed her brow inside. The woman Xia Hou Ling was talking about was probably referring to herself? She was truly detestable, speaking ill of her behind her back and slandering her elders and brother.
