My Ferocious Tigress Wife

Chapter 36



Chapter 36

It turned out that Biyu was indeed capable. Within a short while, she managed to find out about the main branch family and presented her findings to Xiao Jingai.

“…The Yuan family brought their Young Master over to apologize.”

“What?!”

Xiao Jingai widened her eyes in disbelief.

It was already inconceivable enough for the news about the fight to reach the Emperor, but now, the Yuan family actually came personally to seek reconciliation.

Xiao Jingai started to doubt her life.

Was she reborn or was everything just a dream?

However, shouldn’t a dream be satisfying? Why did she have to suffer in silence even in her dream and be controlled by Xiao Baoxin for the rest of her life such that she could ride on her neck and do whatever she wanted?

All of this was clearly going too far!

###

No one could beat Xiao Baoxin when it came to suffering a blow.

Evidently, she had gotten what she wanted the night before. Even her mother kept saying that she wanted to end the engagement, and the betrothal gifts she had received were loaded onto the car in the middle of the night. She just had to wait to go to the Yuan family early in the morning to express their family’s stance. Why did the Yuan family suddenly give in?

She could understand if they personally came to annul the engagement, but unexpectedly, they came to seek reconciliation—

Didn’t they say that they were from an aristocratic family? Didn’t they say that they were strong-willed?

The family members had almost beaten each other up into dogs’ heads. But what was the meaning of this sudden change of attitude?

She was disappointed!

At that moment, Xiao Baoxin couldn’t care less about the impact Xiao Jingai’s rebirth had on her. She had other priorities. Even if she didn’t rush to Xiao Jingai’s side, Xiao Jingai might even stick close to her. She wouldn’t have to worry about not having time to figure it out in the future.

There was no time to lose in the marriage annulment.

How could she not know what her own mother was like?

Originally, she had been longing for her daughter to marry into an aristocratic family. The reason why she was so indignant and wanted to annul the marriage was because she was protecting her own child. She was also afraid that a forced marriage would not be blissful and her daughter would be bullied when she married into the family.

Now that the Yuan family had personally come to seek reconciliation, her mother would probably waver with just a few words.

As expected, things proceeded according to Xiao Baoxin’s prediction. When she rushed over, she heard her mother laughing dryly.

“…That could be a misunderstanding.”

Indeed!

Xiao Baoxin was so angry that she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. In any case, her reputation had already been ruined by the gang fight yesterday, so she didn’t care anymore. Without informing her arrival, she walked directly into the room.

It was June and the doors and windows of the room were all open. Xiao Baoxin crossed the doorstep and saw the guests seated inside. Madam Xie sat at the main seat. She had a thin layer of makeup on, and her hair was combed high like in the clouds. It was obvious that if the Yuan family did not visit, she would already be on the way to the Yuan family to end the engagement.

The matriarch of the Yuan family, Madam Yin, and Yuan Chen sat at the lower seats respectively.

No one expected Xiao Baoxin to enter the room without any prior notice. Xiao Baoxin frowned when she saw Madam Yin.

“Why did you barge in like this? Do you still have any rules?!” Madam Xie reprimanded and didn’t forget to cover up for her daughter. “Is there an urgent matter?”

“Ah Xiao! Long time no see.” Sitting at the side, Yuan Chen was 16 or 17 years old. He had smooth shoulders and a pair of long and narrow phoenix eyes that were almost identical to Madam Yin’s. His eyebrows were exquisite and there was a layer of powder on his face. When he saw Xiao Baoxin enter, he immediately stood up and smiled amiably.

Xiao Baoxin had just finished her martial arts practice and rushed all the way to the main courtyard. She did not have time to freshen up and dress up. Her face was bare and rosy. This youthful look and her beauty made Yuan Chen, who had seen countless women and men, to be lost in his own thoughts. He stared at her without turning his gaze away.

Xiao Baoxin frowned, her pretty face full of disgust.

“Do I know you well? Please don’t call me that—”

“Baoxin!” Madam Xie’s face flushed red. “Has your etiquette been eaten by dogs? How can you be so rude!” contemporary romance

Xiao Baoxin really didn’t want to leave a good impression on Madam Yin and her son. Wouldn’t it be better if she took this opportunity to end things and part ways?

It really didn’t matter whether it was a misunderstanding or not, alright?

“Greetings to Madam Yin.” At the end of the day, Xiao Baoxin still respected her as an elder and bowed to her. She didn’t even bother to look at Yuan Chen and directly said to Madam Xie.

“Didn’t Mother say last night that she was going to the Yuan residence to end the engagement this morning? I wanted to come over and see if Mother had left something behind. It wouldn’t be good if they thought that we were maliciously targeting them.” Xiao Baoxin was undoubtedly reminding Madam Xie to keep her word and speak the truth in front of them and not pretend that everything was peaceful.

“Oh my, Baoxin is still angry.”

Madam Yin was in her forties. She had a voluptuous figure and a head full of green pearls. She was a rare beauty at a young age, but once she got older, she could only be described as graceful and elegant.

She did not mind Xiao Baoxin’s rudeness at all. It was as if she was not the one who frowned in disdain just now. She smiled even more amiably than her son.

“Auntie knew that Baoxin had been wronged, so she quickly brought Chaoyu over to appease your anger.” She sighed. “The person who said those malicious words was from the third branch, and they’ve never gotten along with Chaoyu. This time, they must have been blinded by greed and dragged you into it in public!”

The more she spoke, the more hateful she sounded. She gritted her teeth and said, “No one could be so biased towards outsiders, yet he actually bullied his own family with others. The Emperor is wise and punished him with ten strokes of the cane. If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t take it anymore and had been carried back to the residence with a high fever and passed out, I would have asked the Clan Head to punish him again— he’s too much.”

“Mother, calm down. Aren’t we here to apologize to Ah Xiao?” Yuan Chen tried to comfort her. “Auntie and Ah Xiao are righteous people. Let’s talk things out. What misunderstanding can’t be resolved?”

Madam Yin sighed and turned to Madam Xie. “It’s also because of our friendship in the past that you know me well and are willing to believe me. Otherwise, I would really be too ashamed to show my face. I wish there was a hole in the ground that I could crawl into and never have to face you again.”

“My dear, what are you saying? You’re being too serious,” Madam Xie said sincerely. “Every family has its own difficulties. Who can say that every family has reliable members and all of them are dedicated to justice. Look at our family— if my son didn’t cause trouble, he wouldn’t have been a target of ridicule until today. I don’t even want to go out because of him.”

Xiao Baoxin was so angry that she laughed instead. This mother and son duo was collaborating to fool others—

No, were they fooling with her mother?

If they didn’t accept their apology, wouldn’t they be unreasonable and had forgotten all about their past relationship?

“Auntie, I accept your apology, but I have to annul the engagement…”

“Ah Xiao!” Yuan Chen was shocked. “Don’t say such things in a fit of anger. My feelings for you can be vouched by the heavens.”

“Don’t, you don’t have to vouch for it with the heavens.” Xiao Baoxin had goosebumps all over her body. “Your concern for all the other people had nothing to do with me. Please let me finish.”

“Our two families are not suitable at all. Our Xiao Residence cannot match your family’s status. As the saying goes, forcing a melon will not make it sweet. Having a marriage is also not forming an enmity. Since the matriarchs of both families are present, and the person in concern is also present, let’s annul the marriage today.” She said, “Just nice, my mother has already prepared the betrothal gifts and will send them back to your residence together.”
