Chen Derong looked up and saw Chen Kexin and Wang Weixi stand at the door. "My cute daughter and my dear son-in-law. Welcome, come here and sit down," Chen Derong said smilingly.
Wang Weixi nodded slightly and said, "Nice to meet you, father. Nice to meet you, dear aunts." Wang Weixi was polite but emotionally detached.
Chen Kexin turned her face away and remained silent.
The atmosphere was a little embarrassing for a while.
When Wang Weixi dragged her over to the table and sat down, he found out that he became the focus of everyone's attention. Chen Kexin's well-dressed aunts seemed to have gotten used to Chen Kexin's rude attitude and did not say anything. All of them were just gazing at Wang Weixi at this moment.
He felt stressed out, which caused a cold sweat to form on his back.
Everyone at the table remained awkwardly silent, when servants were busy serving the dishes.
Chen Kexin glanced around, looking for Chen Keren.
"So, is this man the one that Kexin fought a desperate struggle to marry?" Finally, a woman sitting right beside Chen Derong spoke, breaking the quiet.
Wang Weixi frowned slightly, feeling quite uncomfortable.
When Chen Kexin was about to talk back, Wang Weixi pulled her hand, hinting that they should let Chen Derong take care of it.
"Uhm," Chen Derong nodded, looking displeased.
"I can't see what's so great about him. He's in good shape, but he looks ordinary and poor. Alas, Derong, your daughter is just like you," the woman sitting on the other side of Chen Derong mocked.
Upon hearing that women belittling him, Wang Weixi was rendered speechless and could not help but curse that woman in his heart. However, he still smiled back at the women.
Chen Kexin gritted her teeth in anger, but Wang Weixi pulled her hand again, hinting that she should remain calm. He sat there quietly, concealed all his emotions and thought, "Well, I have to treat all my seniors with respect. Now, only two aunts have spoken. If I talk back now, the other three aunts will have no chance to speak. I have to remain calm and show my respect for them."
Wang Weixi controlled himself very well, as he did not want to embarrass his father-in-law again.
"My second eldest sister, you've really crossed the line," Chen Derong said with a forced smile.
Chen Kexin suppressed her anger and deliberately teased, "Yes, my second aunt, you're just so second." (In Chinese internet slang, "Second" means dumb or stupid.)
Wang Weixi turned to look at Chen Kexin smilingly, while thinking, "Well, my wife is no pushover."
Chen Kexin's second aunt Chen Duanrong was confused and asked with curiosity, "What do you mean?"
Chen Kexin remained calm and said, "Nothing. I was praising you with an internet catchword. Second aunt, aren't you always trendy? How come you've never heard about this word?"
Wang Weixi really wanted to laugh out loud, but he suppressed his laughter and said gently, "Kexin, stop teasing second aunt. She's a businesswoman and has a lot of things to do every day. How can she know such an internet catchword?"
Chen Duanrong ignored Wang Weixi and said with blushing cheeks, "I know what you meant. How can I not know this word? I was just joking."
Wang Weixi and Chen Kexin exchanged a look and remained silent.
