Chapter 645: 180: Shangguan Furong was slapped_4
Upon entering the courtyard, one could immediately notice the vibrant life within it.
The rose-covered wall, the swing beneath the grapevine, and a small, colorful goldfish pond. Although the pond wasn’t large, it had a well-designed drainage system with an antique waterwheel installed by its side.
The ground of the courtyard was not cemented, but carpeted with sturdy grass with a path of pebbles laid into it instead.
Clusters of vibrant, multicolored plums were blooming on either side of the path.
“It’s so beautiful!” Shangguan Xi exclaimed.
Even Shangguan Furong was slightly taken aback. She originally thought that she would step into a dirty and messy farmhouse.
But what she saw was a miniature version of Jiangnan.
Madam Shangguan asked, “Daya, did you have someone design this courtyard?”
Not only was the courtyard beautiful, but its layout was also very reasonable.
Attention was even given to Feng Shui considerations.
Ni Cuihua said, “No, it was Yangyang who designed it herself.”
Before Madam Shangguan could respond, Shangguan Furong remarked, “Well, Yangyang from your family is really talented.”
She was already singing praises for Ni Yang even before she became part of the Shangguan Family!
A little village girl like Ni Yang managed to design such a beautiful courtyard?
What a ridiculous joke!
She mustn’t hurt her back making such big claims.
Ni Cuihua chuckled and responded, “This child has been clever since she was young.”
This left Shangguan Furong speechless.
She had never seen someone as shameless as Ni Cuihua before.
Didn’t Ni Cuihua realize that she was being sarcastic?
Ni Cuihua dared to take it seriously!
She even went on about how smart Ni Yang was!
Why did such people exist in this world?
Madam Shangguan intervened, “It’s all due to your good parenting, Daya.”
Without a good mother to guide and teach, how could there be such an outstanding daughter?
One could tell from Ni Cuihua’s behavior and demeanor that she was a very well-bred person.
The group then entered the house together. The interior decoration was even more beautiful.
The modern minimalist style was embellished with classical elements, perfectly combining a sense of the past and the present.
The hand-painted plum blossoms on the wall seemed to be blooming in snow.
Ni Cuihua took the initiative to introduce everyone, “Auntie, Sister Xu Lian, Furong, brother-in-law, Xiaoxu, Xiaoxi, let me introduce you. This is Auntie Liu, this is my sister Ni Chenggui.”
Since Ni Yang called the older lady Granny Liu, Ni Cuihua would have to address her as Auntie Liu to avoid confusion in seniority.
Everyone greeted each other warmly.
Ni Chenggui observed everyone subtly.
Madam Shangguan seemed very kind.
Xu Lian appeared savvy.
Shangguan Furong appeared arrogant, as though she might be difficult to get along with.
Zhao Shen looked like a pushover, judging by his demeanor. He would probably have no say at home.
As for Shangguan Xu and Shangguan Xi, the children seemed flawless. They were beautiful and very polite.
Overall, the members of the Shangguan family gave Ni Chenggui a favorable impression.
Just then, Ni Yang and Mo Qishen descended from upstairs.
Ni Cuihua said, “Oh, yes, this is Yangyang’s boyfriend, Mo Qishen. You can just call him Xiaomo.” Ni Cuihua cheerfully introduced Mo Qishen to everyone while holding him by the hand.
Ni Yang even had a boyfriend now…..
Shangguan Xu was momentarily stupefied.
Mo Qishen respectfully greeted everyone.
Everyone’s expression became subtly uncomfortable at the sight of Mo Qishen.
Mo Qishen, the man with the worst reputation in their high-society circle!
How did Ni Yang end up with Mo Qishen?
Especially Shangguan Furong, her disgust was almost visible in her eyes.
If Ni Cuihua married Shangguan Dehui, then Ni Yang would be considered her half-niece.
How could her niece marry such a man?
It was one thing for Ni Cuihua to throw herself at Shangguan Dehui, but Shangguan Furong wouldn’t tolerate anyone else tarnishing the reputation of the Shangguan Family!
Wouldn’t she be ridiculed for being related to a wastrel like Mo Qishen by marriage?
At that moment, Shangguan Furong was feeling absolutely frustrated!
She had to prevent this from happening.
Either let Shangguan Dehui and Ni Cuihua break up, or ensure Ni Yang and Mo Qishen broke up!
Ni Yang couldn’t be with a man like Mo Qishen!
Shangguan Dehui, smiling, extended his hand to shake Mo Qishen’s, “Xiaomo, do you remember me? I carried you in my arms when you were a child!”
Years ago, the Shangguan Family and Mo Family had some connections, but over time, their relationship faded.
