Grandpa He coaxed in a low voice: Baby, be good!

Chapter 518: Bai's Mother's Protection

After hearing what Xue'er said, Bai's mother quickly stopped Xue'er and said, "Xue'er, that's a gift from your aunt. It's yours. Don't take it off. It looks good on you!"

"Aunt, but my sister-in-law likes it. Anyway, I don't have the habit of wearing jewelry. It would be a waste for such a good thing to stay with me. Also, I don't want my sister-in-law to misunderstand you." Xue'er said in a low voice.

"Good child, you didn't have the chance to wear them before, but it will be different in the future. Chenchen is a well-known doctor after all. I will take you to some occasions occasionally. You should have some decent jewelry, right? Your sister-in-law won't misunderstand anything. I have given her a lot." Bai's mother persuaded.

Chen Mengmeng was unhappy listening to this, but she didn't dare to show off. She smiled sweetly and said, "Yes! Xue'er, Mom has given me a lot of things, but the best ones are reserved for you. You looked like you lived in poverty before! It won't happen again in the future. Your good days will come when you marry into the Bai family!"

Chen Mengmeng made it seem like Xue'er was clinging to Bai Chen just to live a good life. Xue'er's face turned red and she felt very embarrassed.

Everyone also heard the hidden meaning in Chen Mengmeng's words. Bai Chen's face immediately darkened. Just as he was about to retort, Bai's mother said, "It is Chenchen's luck that he found Xue'er, and it is also a blessing for our family. We like Xue'er and we don't care about her family background, just like we didn't pick on your family background in the beginning."

"Mom, that's not what I meant. I wanted to say..." Chen Mengmeng saw that her mother-in-law was unhappy. Just as she was about to explain something, before she could finish her words, Bai's mother said, "I don't care what you mean, but my meaning is very clear. Our Bai family especially welcomes Xue'er's arrival."

Bai's mother continued, "Mengmeng, you don't have to be upset about the necklace. I asked you to choose it, and you chose the bracelet yourself. The necklace naturally belongs to Chenchen's wife. I can't give you something just because you like it. These two pieces of jewelry were left by their grandmother. Now that your generation has two wives, I can't give them both to you!"

"My mother, I didn't know this was passed down from my grandmother. I thought I was just joking with her. I didn't really mean it." Chen Mengmeng was scolded by her mother-in-law and she felt embarrassed, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous when she was under her mother-in-law's roof.

"Okay, shut up and eat." Bai Xuan felt very annoyed when he saw his wife acting like this. This woman was becoming more and more unsatisfied and less and less respectful to her family. After today, he really had to have a good talk with her.

Chen Mengmeng saw that her husband also looked unhappy, so she didn't dare to say anything. She just lowered her head and curled her lips, muttering to herself, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why are you so angry?"

Father Bai saw that the atmosphere at the dinner table was quite tense, so he laughed and said, "Everyone, stop chatting and eat! The braised fish I just ate was delicious. I've never tasted anything like it before."

"This fish! It was made by Xue'er. She said Chenchen likes it. I didn't expect that you, my husband, like it too!" Bai's mother said with a smile. Originally, the fish was going to be steamed, but Xue'er said in the kitchen that Bai Chen liked braised fish, so she made it herself.

"Mm, delicious! Come, everyone try it! Chenchen will be blessed in the future." Father Bai praised. Everyone nodded after trying it.

"It's not that exaggerated! It's just a home-cooked dish. If you want to eat it, I can cook it for you anytime." Xue'er said embarrassedly.

"That's great! But it's hard work for Xueer." Bai's mother said with a smile.

"It's not hard, it's easy to do." Xue'er said gently.

"That won't work. Cooking a dish isn't tiring, but running back and forth is exhausting. If parents want to eat, they can just go to our place!" Bai Chen suddenly said.

"You little brat, you're worried about Xue'er having trouble coming here, but you don't worry about your parents having trouble going to your place?" Bai Xuan teased Bai Chen.

"My parents have a car and a driver who can pick us up, but Xue'er can't. If I'm not at home, it will be so difficult for her to come by herself!" Bai Chen said.

"That's your fault. Why don't you buy her a car? If you don't have money, your brother will give it to you." Bai Xuan said, rolling his eyes at his brother.

"No, it's not Chen's fault. It's my fault. I can't drive and I don't have a driver's license." Xue'er explained hurriedly.

"Oh my! Nowadays, there are many young people who can't drive. Xueer, why don't you get a driver's license?" Chen Mengmeng asked sarcastically.

"I was too busy working before and didn't have time to learn. Also, it costs a lot of money to apply for a driver's license, and I couldn't afford it." Xueer said truthfully.

"Oh, so that's the case! You had a really hard life in the past!" Chen Mengmeng said, pretending to sympathize with Xue'er.

"It's okay! I don't have any special skills, but I'm happy to support my family with my own hands." Xue'er smiled and said self-deprecatingly.

"Well, Xue'er, don't feel inferior. You are still young. No matter what you want to learn in the future, we will support you." Bai's mother encouraged Xue'er.

"Well, thank you!" Xue'er said gratefully. She really felt the love and warmth of home in the Bai family. Maybe it was because of Bai Chen, who loved everyone and loved everyone! But she was still very moved.

Of course, there was also Chen Mengmeng at the dinner table, whom she didn't like very much. She always intentionally or unintentionally induced her to talk about her previous predicaments and created some small incidents at the dinner table from time to time. However, since she was Bai Chen's legitimate sister-in-law, she couldn't be impolite.

But except for herself, everyone else at the table was not very polite to her. Xue'er could see that Mr. and Mrs. Bai didn't seem to like their eldest daughter-in-law, and her eldest brother Bai Xuan was also trying his best to be patient with his wife.

Except for Chen Mengmeng who occasionally disrupted the atmosphere, everyone finished their dinner happily.

After the meal, Bai's father took his two sons to the study to talk. Bai's mother said, "Xue'er, go sit on the sofa for a while. Auntie will go wash some fruit. Mengmeng, you stay with Xue'er for a while."

"Aunt, let me help them clean up the table! I just finished my meal and need some exercise." Xue'er saw the servants cleaning up the table. As a hardworking worker, how could she sit still? She habitually reached out to help.

Seeing this, the servants hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss, take a rest! We will clean it up!"

Xue'er still didn't stop what she was doing. She smiled and said, "More people, faster!" The servants didn't say anything else and let Xue'er help.

Seeing Xue'er trying to please him for no reason, Chen Mengmeng took advantage of Bai's mother not being around and said angrily, "Mom and Dad are not here, who are you working so hard for?"

Xue Er didn't think much about what she said, and said casually: "I'm used to doing the work. Isn't it inconvenient to clean up the table after dinner? Can it be seen by others? Otherwise, you can help too, it will be faster."

"I just finished doing my nails, I can't do this job. I'm not as lucky as you. I have a servant but I don't want to do that kind of work!" Chen Mengmeng said while fiddling with her nails with her head down.

Xue'er listened to Chen Mengmeng's words and paused for a moment. She finally understood why her uncle and aunt didn't like her. Their mouths were too stinky! However, Xue'er, who had always been timid and cowardly, chose to ignore her.
