To be honest, Lan Hui did not like such variety shows. When Liao Jiake said that she wanted to participate, Lan Hui felt that it was embarrassing and demeaning.
Now that she saw that the audienceâs response to the variety show was not bad, Lan Hui felt even more ambivalent.
âThat was just a casual suggestion. They didnât force us to agree. We can reject them.â Liao Jiakeâs tone suddenly softened. She went to Lan Huiâs side and tried to persuade her to change her mind. âMom, that opinion collection form shouldnât be due yet. Letâs change our choice.â
However, when Lan Hui heard her say this, she was instantly unhappy.
She pushed Liao Jiakeâs hand away from her arm coldly and put on a dark face. âKe Ke, whatâs wrong with you today? That was the opinion form sent to me by the production team. Donât I even have the right to choose?â
Lan Huiâs temper came and went at will. She didnât care what occasion it was and directly voiced her dissatisfaction.
Coincidentally, they were in the center of the mall. There were many people coming and going. Lan Huiâs voice was also slightly sharp. As soon as she opened her mouth, she attracted the attention of passers-by.
Liao Jiake sensed that passers-by were starting to look at them. Her expression was a little stiff, and she couldnât help but lower her head.
She had been dragged out by Lan Hui to shop at the last minute, so she did not put on any makeup. However, she was still worried that she would be recognized by passersby.
Liao Jiake said softly, âMom, Iâm just⦠afraid that Iâll disturb you while filming the variety show at home.â
Lan Hui looked at her coldly and said bluntly, âWell Iâve already agreed. Donât you think itâs unnecessary for you to say this?â
. â Liao Jiake was completely speechless.
âAlright, alright.â Seeing that the atmosphere had suddenly quietened down, Lin Youjuan quickly stood up to smooth things over. âLan Hui, weâre still outside. Pay attention to your image.â
She had been standing at the side the entire time and did not speak. Usually, she could not win against Lan Hui. Now that she saw Liao Jiake suffer in front of Lan Hui, Lin Youjuanâs heart ached for this girl.
No matter what, Liao Jiake was a public figure. If others saw her mother-in-law throwing a tantrum at her in public, she would lose face.
After a moment of silence, Liao Jiake said to the two of them, âMom, Aunt Juan, Iâm not feeling well, so Iâll go back first. You guys continue shopping.â With that, Liao Jiake left without looking back.
When Lan Hui saw this scene, she became even more emotional. She pointed at Liao Jiakeâs back and said angrily, âHow dare she. She doesnât want me to agree to the filming of the variety show. Does she think Iâll embarrass her?â
Lin Youjuan comforted her. âDonât be angry. Even if she doesnât agree, it might not be because she finds you embarrassing.â
When Liao Jiake returned home, she saw that Xu Zeyi was also there, but she didnât go up to him like usual.
Xu Zeyi said, âHoney, youâre back.â
After Liao Jiake changed her shoes at the entrance, she walked towards the main hall, but her gaze directly passed by Xu Zeyi.
Seeing her unhappy expression, Xu Zeyi frowned and suddenly walked over to pull her back. He asked curiously, âWhatâs wrong with you? Who made you unhappy?
Liao Jiake was blocked by him and had no choice but to stop in her tracks. She looked at him and said in a slightly harsh tone, âYour mother.â
âWhy are you scolding me?â Xu Zeyiâs frown deepened.
Liao Jiake looked at the man she had not seen for a long time and feltn/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
aggrieved. Her eyes turned red and she almost cried. âI was kind enough to go shopping with your mother, but she actually disrespected me without any regard to the occasion.. Who could stand that?â
