Chapitre 324: Chapter 324 Preparing the Banquet (5)_1

Xiu Jianlin was squatting at the front gate, smoking. His family wasn't well-off, so ordinarily, when he craved a smoke, he would at most buy half a jin of tobacco and roll it into cigarettes with paper to satisfy his craving. Today, the Ruan Family was hosting a banquet and were quite generous, handing two cigarettes to each person who entered. He was enjoying his smoke when suddenly he saw his wife being dragged down like a madwoman, which startled him. Even as a long-time smoker, he began to cough uncontrollably.

He couldn't bear to throw away the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, so he pinched it out and tucked it into his jacket pocket before hurrying over.

He first glared at Liu Mei, then turned to the Ruanlin Family with a flattering smile and said, "Auntie, what are you talking about? What kind of grudge could I harbor against you? Did Liu Mei do something again? Don't worry, I'll definitely discipline her when we get back!"
