Old Master Cheng had always valued his reputation the most in his life. He always had a sense of pride in his bones.
Hearing what Xie Wan had said, he also felt that Cheng Ling’s way of doing things was very disrespectful to the Cheng family.
If she didn’t put the Cheng family in her eyes, wasn’t that the same as not putting him in her eyes?
“This girl is too lawless. Xie Wan, after dinner, quickly go and see what’s going on.”
“Alright, Dad. I’ll help you teach Cheng Ling a lesson.”
Sure enough, after dinner, Xie Wan brought Wang Ma over arrogantly.
At this time, Cheng Ling was still eating. They didn’t differentiate between master and servant in private. So, after Mi Duo finished cooking, she let her sit down and eat together.
Mi Duo was very good at creating the atmosphere. It was happy and harmonious over the dinner table. Xie Ying ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.
Mi Duo told the two of them stories from the past. When she was telling them, she was even gesticulating. Xie Ying was very engrossed in listening to her.
Cheng Ling watched Xie Ying’s happy expression from the side and thought that she had chosen the right person.
Xie Wan knocked on the door from outside. However, as the laughter in the room was too loud, they did not hear her.
Subsequently, the knocking turned into banging on the door, accompanied by Xie Wan’s fierce voice.
“Open the door. Can’t the people inside hear it? We have been shouting outside for so long, but no one came to open the door.”
The people in the room could hear this clearly. As Xie Ying heard her daughter shouting outside, she got up to open the door.
Although she did not like her daughter, she was still living under someone else’s roof.
But Cheng Ling and Mi Duo held Xie Ying back at the same time.
“I’ll go and open the door. Why do you need to go personally?” Mi Duo put down her chopsticks, stood up, and walked to the door.
She opened the door first and looked at the persons under the dim twilight outside the window.
“May I ask who you are?”
Xie Wan and Wang Ma stood at the door and saw that the person who opened the door was indeed an unfamiliar woman.
Xie Wan raised her head and assumed a noble posture.
This afternoon, she went to play mahjong with a group of rich ladies. To compete, she purposely changed into a set of clothes with a lot of pearls. She was also wearing expensive jewelry.
Now that she dressed up in this manner, she stood at Cheng Ling’s door and looked like she wanted to bully others.
“Don’t you know who I am?” Xie Wan asked Mi Duo.
Mi Duo did not fall for Xie Wan’s tricks. She shrugged.
“Who are you? Should I know you?” Mi Duo threw the question back to Xie Wan.
“You!”
In the next second, Mi Duo closed the door.
Xie Wan could not believe that she was rejected. She quickly raised her hand and knocked on the door again.
The jade bracelet on her hand also knocked on the door.
After a few seconds, the door was opened again.
“Why did you close the door?���
“I don’t know you. Why can’t I close the door? Either you tell me where you are, or go far away. Don’t disturb my bosses while they are eating.”
Mi Duo’s stubborn attitude made Xie Wan laugh out of anger.
Xie Wan sneered.
It seemed that what Wang Ma said was true. This person had already called Cheng Ling and the other as bosses.
“Who am I? I am the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family. Among the two people inside, one is my daughter, and the other is my mother. Who do you think I am?”
Xie Wan was very confident that she could subdue a servant.
However, since Mi Duo was chosen by Wang Xi and Cheng Ling, she would not be intimidated so easily.
“Oh.” She replied and then said something infuriating.
“Your daughter and your mother are both my bosses, but you are not. You can come over after we finish eating. Food is the most important thing to the people.”
After saying that, Mi Duo closed the door again.
Xie Wan stood at the door. She was rejected twice.
She banged the door angrily again, but no one opened it.
“Madam, why don’t we go back first?”
“That won’t do. We have to get an explanation today. Besides, this is an order from our father. We have to complete it well.”
Thus, Wang Ma could only stand outside the door with Xie Wan to feed the mosquitoes. At this time, the mosquitoes also came out to look for food. It was not easy to catch two people standing there, so they were flying around them.
Ever since Xie Wan married into the Cheng family, she had never been treated this way.
She patted here and scratched there, looking very embarrassed.
Finally, the sound of dishes being cleaned came from inside. It should be the end of the meal by now.
The dishes and bowls collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
By this time, Xie Wan’s legs were already covered with mosquito bites. Her patience had run out. She walked to the door and banged it hard.
“Hurry up and open the door. If you don’t open it, don’t blame me for smashing the door.”
She waited at the door for a few more minutes before the door was opened.
