CHAPTER 202: CHAPTER 201: MAKING THINGS DIFFICULT

Huo Junmo’s expression hardened, and he cooperatively shot Xie Yunlu a warning glance.

Xie Yunlu gritted her teeth, holding back a surge of anger in her chest. After a while, she opened her mouth and spat out, "Aunt!"

Ye Anxin struggled to hold back her laughter, took out a red envelope that she had prepared from her handbag, and handed it to them. "Good girl! This is a red envelope from your uncle and me for you. Live well from now on!"

"Thank you!" Xie Yunlu reached out to accept it.

"Thanking who?" Hearing this, Ling Yueyue immediately jumped in. She wouldn’t miss any chance to taunt Xie Yunlu.

"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt!" Since she had already said it once, Xie Yunlu didn’t mind saying it again.

Anyway, she vowed to remember the grudge from today! All the plans were in motion, so for now, let them enjoy their moment of triumph. Soon, she’d show them.

"Such a good girl!" If not for her strong willpower, Ling Yueyue would have burst out laughing rudely by now.

Satisfying, today was truly satisfying!

Xie Yunlu gritted her teeth, her eyes glaring red at Ling Yueyue, as if she could kill with a look, Ling Yueyue would already be pierced through the heart by a thousand arrows.

Mu Rufeng and Xie Yunlu held back their anger as they toasted everyone at the table. When they came to Huo Junmo and Ling Yueyue, Ling Yueyue spoke again, "Well, my Mr. Huo and your little uncle are good brothers. So by the hierarchy, shouldn’t you also address my Mr. Huo as Uncle Huo!"

At these words, everyone present couldn’t help but twitch their mouths.

"Ling Yueyue, what do you really want?" If she could, Xie Yunlu would have thrown the tea in her hand at Ling Yueyue’s face to vent her fury.

Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow and said with a playful smile, "Oh nothing, with so many people here, you’ve toasted everyone, acknowledged everyone, so naturally you should greet our Mr. Huo too! After all, my Mr. Huo is considered your elder, so as juniors, how can you not show respect!"

"You...!" Xie Yunlu’s meticulously made-up face turned colors like a palette.

At this moment, Yan Qinghan fearlessly spoke up, "I think Yueyue Sis is right. By the hierarchy, you really should call Junmo ’Uncle Huo!’ Besides him, we should also be called Uncle! Though we’re about the same age, only a few years apart, the hierarchy is in place, and it mustn’t be disrupted!"

"...!" Xie Yunlu gritted her teeth, refusing to speak.

Seeing Xie Yunlu furious, Ling Yueyue, still unsatisfied, turned to Mu Huajian, whose face was also unpleasant. "Uncle, it seems your granddaughter-in-law doesn’t understand etiquette! She sees her elders and doesn’t greet them, all the while wearing a sour face. It’s hard to say who she’s putting on a show for!"

Though Mu Huajian was also angry at Ling Yueyue’s constant teasing today, her words were an undeniable fact!

Huo Junmo, Yan Qinghan, Xiang Qingshi, and Gu Xingchen were all Mu Beiting’s best friends. By hierarchy, Mu Rufeng should address them as uncles!

Thus, though angry with Ling Yueyue’s constant provocations, he couldn’t find words to refute her.

Seeing Xie Yunlu remain silent, Ling Yueyue impatiently urged, "Hurry up! Does this wedding banquet continue or not?"

Huo Junmo, Xiang Qingshi, and Gu Xingchen held back their laughter, silently watching the events unfold.

Meanwhile, Yan Qinghan had the audacity to smirk, looking on as if watching a show.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Mu Huajian spoke again, "Rufeng, Yunlu, greet them!"

"Hu... Uncle Huo!" Mu Rufeng’s face looked no better than Xie Yunlu’s!

Though unwilling, under Mu Huajian’s oppressive stare, he had to call out once.

"Uncle Huo!" Since Mu Rufeng had spoken, Xie Yunlu followed suit.

Ling Yueyue raised her chin high, looking at them arrogantly. "What about me? I’m Mrs. Huo! By logic, you should call me Aunt Huo!"

"Ling Yueyue, don’t push it too far!" Xie Yunlu tightly grasped the wine glass in her hand, as it was the only way to suppress the raging fury in her heart.

Seeing those she intended to humiliate today step on her, those usually beneath her leap over her head, it was unbearable for anyone, especially someone with her proud nature!

Ling Yueyue turned to Huo Junmo, blinking her gleaming eyes, and pitifully said, "Mr. Huo, what if she won’t acknowledge me as Mrs. Huo?"

Huo Junmo wrapped his arm around Ling Yueyue’s waist, declaring, "Ling Yueyue is indeed my wife, and that is undoubted!"

With Huo Junmo backing her, Ling Yueyue grew bolder, puffing her chest and lifting her chin high.

Now that Huo Junmo had spoken, Mu Rufeng had no choice but to grit his teeth and take the lead, calling out, "Aun... Aunt Huo!"

Ling Yueyue raised an eyebrow triumphantly and looked at Xie Yunlu.

"Aun... Aunt Huo...!" Xie Yunlu gripped her wine glass tightly, forcing the words through her teeth.

"Good girl! Hearing you call me Aunt makes my trip here worthwhile! You have no idea, I came here today just to hear you call me Aunt!" Ling Yueyue paid no heed to Xie Yunlu’s extremely ugly expression, almost wanting to pat her head like teasing a kitten.

Listening to those words, Xie Yunlu’s already unsightly face turned darker, almost pitch black.

As if not satisfied with their embarrassment, Huo Jiantian suddenly jumped up and yelled, "Me too, me too! Since she called you Uncle and Aunt, she should call me too! What should they call me? I want them to call me Uncle too!"

"You little rascal, what are you stirring up! I’m telling you, if they call you Uncle, they’d have to call your dad Brother or Grandpa! You better go cool off somewhere and don’t make a fuss!" Ling Yueyue’s remark was ostensibly directed at Huo Jiantian, but it was actually intended for Mu Rufeng and Xie Yunlu, deliberately trying to rub salt in their wounds, further provoking them.

"Then what should they call me?" Huo Jiantian tilted his head curiously, looking at Mu Rufeng and Xie Yunlu.

Ling Yueyue flicked his forehead and said with a grin, "You should call them brother, not they call you anything!"

This blatant humiliation made Mu Rufeng and Xie Yunlu wish they could dig a hole to bury themselves in.

If there weren’t so many guests present, she would ensure Ling Yueyue got what she deserved.

"Hmph! Not fun!" Huo Jiantian pouted and sat back in his place.

Ling Yueyue took a glance around at Xiang Qingshi, Yan Qinghan, and Gu Xingchen and smiled, "Since Uncle and Aunt have been addressed, let’s have everyone speak up! After all, they’re all your little uncle’s brothers, so it’s only right to call them uncles!"
