"Xiuzhu, what's the matter with you? Don't you understand the saying 'guests should be treated with respect'? Do I need to teach you again? Where has all that reading gone to?"
Hearing her niece ramping up her criticisms, Wang Huizhen couldn't hold back her ire and scolded her.
Although Wang Xiuzhu was reprimanded, she didn't get angry at all; instead, she felt quite smug. Seeing Shen Mingzhu sitting dumbly on the couch, not saying a word, Wang Xiuzhu was convinced that Shen Mingzhu felt humiliated and terribly embarrassed.
"Sorry, Shen Mingzhu, I usually like to joke around. That just now was just a joke, you're not really angry, right?"
Shen Mingzhu came back to her senses and revealed a mysteriously faint smile, "It's okay."
Wang Xiuzhu was forcibly dragged into the kitchen by Wang Huizhen.
"hello darkness, my old friend, I've come to talk with you again..."
The music that suddenly filled the living room stopped the aunt and niece in their tracks.
