Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

Mingxi looked at the photos of fireworks saved in her phone's album, a happy smile appearing on her face. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them, and the more beautiful they seemed.

No way, how can I not show such beautiful photos to others? I clicked into the blog, edited and uploaded the picture.

The accompanying text reads: May our love be as brilliant and eternal as fireworks, sharing this moment year after year.

After showing off their affection, Mingxi started "harassing" Chuyu again.

Mingxi: Honey, what are you doing?

Mingxi: I slept too late last night, and my head hurts so much when I woke up today.

Mingxi: I have to come to my uncle's house every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It's so annoying, I don't want to come anymore.

Mingxi: Isn't this Phantom bag gorgeous? But it costs 350,000 won, which is a bit pricey.

Just as Mingxi was thinking about how to subtly suggest that Chu Yu buy him the bag, an annoying female voice came from beside her.

"What is Mingxi doing! The elders are all sitting here, and he doesn't even say a word. He just keeps looking at his phone."

The woman speaking was Jiang Maidong, Mingxi's aunt, with a mean-spirited look on her face.

Mingxi slammed his phone down and leaned back. "Auntie, I'm such a busy person, and I'm still sitting here with you. Debon hasn't even shown up yet. Don't banks close for the New Year?!"

"How dare you talk to your elders like that?! My husband Debang is busy with important matters, unlike you, who said you went to Beijing to be a star, but I don't know what you've been doing. I haven't seen you buy anything for the family, and your dad is always subsidizing you!"

Oh dear, Mingxi couldn't stand those words. Her face darkened, and she started criticizing Jiang Maidong.

"It's none of your business if my dad wants to give me money! Can you stop being so possessive of my family's money?! Also, you said I don't know what I'm doing in Beijing, that's spreading rumors! I can sue you!"

"Oh dear! Oh dear! This is outrageous! They're going to sue me! Get someone to take me away!" Jiang Maidong wailed as she slapped her thigh.

The commotion was so loud that Ming Jianhua and his two brothers, who were chatting in the next room, heard it. Ming Jianhua said, "It sounds like her aunt's voice."

Ming Jianjun took a sip of hot tea and said nonchalantly, "Second Brother, don't pay any attention to her. That's just how women are, one minute they're yin, the next they're yang. I'll close the door and we'll get back to what we're talking about."

Ming Jianguo frowned slightly after hearing this, but he didn't say anything. He couldn't say much about his younger brother's wife.

Mingxi could watch her wail, but her aunt Xu Qing and her daughter-in-law Han Caixiang couldn't just stand by and watch.

Xu Qing scolded in a low voice, "What are you doing making a scene during the New Year? Do you want to ruin your luck for the whole year?! How dare you, an elder, talk back to a child like that? Stop making a scene."

Then she said to Mingxi, "Mingxi, your aunt is just concerned about you. She just doesn't know how to talk. She didn't mean anything by it. It's very impolite of you to talk to her like that. Quickly apologize to your aunt and let this matter pass."

Make him apologize to Jiang Maidong?! Haha! Don't even think about it.

Seeing that Mingxi didn't move, Han Caixiang also advised, "Xixi, listen to me, we're all family, why make such a fuss during the New Year? Just apologize and that's it."

Xu Qing elbowed Jiang Maidong, "An elder doesn't hold grudges against a junior. Mingxi, apologize to you, and this matter will be over, okay?"

Seeing how stubborn Mingxi was, she thought she should just give him a way out. But Jiang Maidong got angrier and angrier, sitting there without saying a word. Today she was determined to teach this little brat Mingxi a lesson.

For a moment, the atmosphere at the scene became somewhat tense.

"Hey! What are you doing during the New Year? I just went to the restroom, did I miss any big shows?" Ye Wenya swayed her slender waist as she walked over and plopped down next to Mingxi.

She took Mingxi's hand and placed it in her own palm, fiddling with a ring on his finger. "Mingxi, is this Yaka's ring? It's so pretty, it makes your hands look even more beautiful."

Mentioning this made Mingxi perk up. She straightened her fingers and admired them for a moment. "I also think this ring suits me really well, and I think their new necklace is also very nice. When I get back to Beijing..."

Seeing the mother and daughter casually chatting about jewelry, Jiang Maidong couldn't sit still any longer. "Ye Wenya, how did you raise your child? Do you know how he talks to his aunt like that?! What kind of mother raised him…"

"Auntie! Don't say things you shouldn't!" Xu Qing quickly stopped her. If some things were said, there would be no way to smooth things over today.

Although she didn't say the second half of her sentence, everyone present was smart enough to understand what Jiang Maidong was trying to say. Mingxi immediately stood up, wanting to rush over and teach her a lesson, "Is your mouth a cesspool or something? You're not allowed to talk about my mother like that."

But Ye Wenya stopped him.

"Mom! She..."

Mingxi was stopped by Ye Wenya's look when she tried to say something.

Seeing this, Jiang Maidong was a little scared, but she didn't back down at all. "What? You two want to hit me?! Come on, kill me if you dare!"

Xu Qing quickly tugged at her sleeve, "Please say less."

Turning to Ye Wenya, he said, "Second Aunt, we're all family, don't..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ye Wenya interrupted him, "Sister-in-law, I know you mean well, but let's resolve this matter between our two families ourselves."

She didn't make a fuss, and her tone of voice didn't carry a trace of anger, but she inexplicably gave people a sense of oppression.

Then Ye Wenya turned to Jiang Maidong, "Third sister-in-law, although I'm younger than you, I'm still your second sister-in-law, and Xixi is your nephew. I can tolerate you bullying me because I'm 'older' than you, but Xixi is my precious child, and no one can bully him."

Jiang Maidong glared with her triangular eyes, about to shout again, "This is outrageous! You've made black seem white, I..."

"Third sister-in-law! You don't need to cry or make a scene. Let's talk calmly. Since you look down on our family so much, then our family's money will no longer be in Debon Bank. We originally thought that since we're all family, we could accept a lower interest rate, but now it seems that we're the ones who are chasing after you."

"What? No! The money can't be withdrawn!" Jiang Maidong couldn't sit still anymore, as it concerned her son's job.

Ye Wenya ignored her and said to Xu Qing, "Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry for making such a scene at your house. Jianhua and I have some things to do, so we have to go now. We'll come back to see you later."

"Xixi, go call your dad, let's go home."

"Received." Mingxi rolled her eyes at Jiang Maidong, then looked up and called for her father.

"No way, if you dare to take the money out, I'll... I'll..." Jiang Maidong's face turned red with anxiety. All she wanted was for that brat Mingxi to coax her a little, why was it so difficult?!

That damned Ye Wenya, that vixen! The second son listens to his wife the most. If the money is withdrawn, what will happen to her family's Debon deposit target?

Xu Qing and Han Caixiang were also trying to persuade Ye Wenya, repeating the same few sentences over and over: "We're all family. It's the New Year. It's all a misunderstanding." Ye Wenya didn't give them the cold shoulder, but she didn't say much either.

Soon, Ming Jianhua led Ming Xi out of the house, followed by Ming Jianguo and Ming Jianjun.

"Why are you going home so early? Why not stay a little longer?" Ming Jianguo asked.

"Yes, Second Sister-in-law, it's been a long time since our family got together. We haven't even had a meal yet," Ming Jianjun chimed in.

Ye Wenya smiled and said, "No, there's really an emergency at home. Next time, next time our family will treat."

Actually, everyone present was not blind or deaf; they all knew what had happened, including the men, but they just didn't want to say it out loud, otherwise things would get even more ugly.

Ming Jianguo looked at his younger brother, "Second brother, what's the rush? Can't the family even have time for a meal?"

Ming Jianhua chuckled, "Brother, something really came up at home. It's my fault for not telling you beforehand. I'll treat both of you to dinner at Tiande Restaurant next time. We're leaving early today."

"Xixi, say goodbye to your uncle and aunt, your younger uncle and aunt, and your second brother and sister-in-law. We're going home."

"Yes!" Mingxi answered crisply, "Uncle, Aunt, Uncle, Second Brother and Sister-in-law, Xiaopeng, we're leaving now, bye-bye."

Without waiting for them to stay, the family of three put on their clothes and left the gates of Mingjian State, leaving the crowd with dark faces.

Ming Jianjun, in particular, glared fiercely at Jiang Maidong, saying, "Just wait till we get back, I'll deal with you! All you do is cause trouble!"

Jiang Maidong also felt wronged. "You think you're so great? Brother and sister-in-law, look at him like this, you're thinking of beating me tonight! I can't live like this!"

"You shameless thing, I'll teach you a lesson!" Jiang Maidong's behavior instantly ignited Ming Jianjun's anger, and he was about to step forward and hit her a few times in front of everyone.

"Third brother, what do you want to do!"

"Don't do anything, it's Chinese New Year."

"Go ahead and hit me, kill me already! Why is my life so miserable?!"

In an instant, the room was in complete chaos.
