Why did she have to do this? The potted plant was brought by Sheng Jiayu, even if Mrs. Sheng doesn't like Sheng Jiayu, why drag her into it? Besides, what impact would breaking a potted plant have on Sheng Jiayu?
So the only explanation is that Mrs. Sheng was using the potted plant to kill two birds with one stone: venting her dissatisfaction with her husband's other daughter while also showing her attitude towards Tang Yanqi.
It was precisely because she realized this that Tang Yanqi obediently took the blame.
In the Sheng Family, her parents-in-law didn't care for her, nor did her husband.
Tang Yanqi bitterly smiled to herself; was there a more miserable bride than her?
She wouldn't say much in front of Mr. Sheng. On one hand, she didn't need to trouble the old man over her affairs, and on the other hand, Tang Yanqi knew she wouldn't be this Sheng Family's Young Madam for long. Even if she defended herself in a moment of impulse, how many people would believe her? Don't forget, her mother-in-law had sent fruit to her daughter-in-law, what a "considerate" mother-in-law.
"Yanqi, is the food not to your liking?"
As Tang Yanqi was eating with her head down, she suddenly heard someone calling her. She snapped back to reality, meeting Mr. Sheng's concerned gaze, and she smiled and shook her head, "No, it's very good."
While she was speaking, a large portion of braised lion's head appeared in her bowl. She turned her head and saw Sheng Jianan with a smile on his face. "This is delicious, try it."
On his handsome face, there was a gentle smile mixed with a touch of his unique roguishness, giving the impression of the kind of affection shared only between young couples.
Not only did Mr. Sheng see it, but even Tang Yanqi was stunned by Sheng Jianan's act.
However, she quickly recovered and cooperated with Sheng Jianan, smiling, "Thank you, husband."
The two of them interacted back and forth, newlyweds, which made Mr. Sheng very happy to see.
Yet Tang Yanqi found it truly ironic; Sheng Jianan said her acting was great, but little did he know he was the real actor, wasn't he?
After dinner, Sheng Jianan didn't stay long at the Sheng Family's old house. He left with a bright smile, taking Tang Yanqi with him. Under Mr. Sheng's watchful eye, for the first time, Tang Yanqi sat in the passenger seat of Sheng Jianan's car.
"Grandpa, Mom, Dad, goodbye."
Tang Yanqi politely said goodbye to each of them. As the car slowly started, once they left the Sheng Family's old house, the smile on Sheng Jianan's face instantly disappeared, and suddenly the speed of the car surged. Tang Yanqi instinctively reached for the handle as the speed kept increasing. She didn't know if Sheng Jianan was doing it intentionally, but not only was he driving fast, but it was also incredibly unstable. Before long, Tang Yanqi felt like her insides were about to be shaken out.
Her face turned paler and a layer of sweat formed on her forehead. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Sheng Jianan and noticed a faint smile at the corner of his mouth.
Tang Yanqi was speechless. What was he so happy about? Happy that she was this scared?
What's there to be happy about?
Before that thought even faded, Sheng Jianan suddenly hit the brakes hard. Caught off guard, Tang Yanqi lurched forward, nearly hitting her forehead against the windshield.
While she was still in shock, a cold voice came from beside her: "Get out!"
The location of the Sheng Family's old house was very remote. Even though Sheng Jianan had driven out of their range quickly, it was still very isolated. There wasn't even a streetlight around, completely dark, and she hadn't seen a single car pass by.
