CHAPTER 452
Bai Guiren and grandma Bai were tuning mad by the time Bai Renxiang left with Li Fengjin. But even if they were, they could still feel fear as her threats replayed in their heads.
"That disgraceful child just dared to threaten and talk to us like we are cabbage to her," grandma Bai said in annoyance.
"Don't you remember that that disgraceful child is the one whose wedding you are at? She is also the one you got too hyped up mad for not receiving an invitation."
"Muyang, how can you– In fact, on whose side are you even on?" Grandma Bai questioned.
"I am on the right side, dear. Come to think of it, there are no sides. You all are the one who is blinded by money and jealousy. And that is the reason you are making sides out of what is not really yours in the first place," grandma Bai said.
"Dad, that is not true," Bai Guiren argued.
Shaking his head, grandpa Bai let out a scoff. "Oh, you of all people know that what Mrs Li and I are saying is the plain truth. So just stop this already. You wanted so badly to be why don't you just enjoy it instead of talking trash about the Li family's daughter-in-law."
"But she just called the Bai name punt. Are you just going to let it go?" Grandma Bai frowned.
"Well, you caused the insult upon that name. That is what you get for seeking out trouble when you should not have," grandpa Bai glared at his wife.

"Sigh... Now if you will excuse me, I am going to enjoy the party we do want to be invited to."

••••••
"Are you okay?" Li Fengjin asked as they walked toward their friends.
"I am doing better than I thought I would," Bai Renxiang sighed.
"I felt that," he chicken.
"Huh? Felt what?" Bai Renxiang tilted her head to look up at his face.
"You kept tightening your little hand on my arm. I think my skin would be burning red by now. It was as if you were taking your anger and pain on me," Li Fengjin said with a slight pout.
"Oh my! Why did you not hint to me or something? I had no idea. Let's get a seat so that I will see it," Bai Renxiang grabbed his has carefully and tried to pull him to walk faster.
"No... Don't worry about it. I was just kidding, okay"?"
"Are you sure?"
"Hmm," he nodded.
"Sigh... I'm sorry. It's just that seeing them made me so angry and then that old geezer started talking about my mother, I felt so–"
'I know how you feel. Take a deep breath. It is our big day and we can't let unimportant people ruin it for us," he caressed her cheek with the back of his thumb hoping it would soothe her anger.
Taking deep breaths, Bai Renxiang seemed to have calmed down. She flashed him a smile saying she was okay. So, they continued greeting the guests.
"Me and Mrs Li, congratulations on your wedding," Mr Lu said.
"Thank you. I am glad you made it to my wedding. I thought you would be too swamped with work to come," Li Fengjin nodded at him.
"Hahaha! I doubt anyone can be as stamped as work as you always are Mr Li," Mr Lu joked.
Li Fengjin laughed and shook his head in denial. "There are actually people who can be more swamped with work than I do. Besides, I have a wife and son to take care of and that means no more getting swamped, right my love?"
"Right. Xiaojin is going to trouble you a lot," Bai Renxiang chuckled.
"That reminds me, Mr and Mrs Li... Is that little handsome ring bearer you son?" Me Lu asked.
"He is," Li Fengjin nodded.
"I knew it. I could see the Li genes in the boy. A replica of you when you were little."
"Of course. After all, he is his father's son," Li Fengjin said with a proud smile.
Soon enough, more of his business partners as well as Bai Renxiang's. More left and were replaced.
Just then, Bai Xiaojin came running to his parents who seemed busy but who cares?
"Mummy," he tapped Bai Renxiang's keg.
Looking down at the source of the voice, everyone except Bai Renxiang and Li Fengjin was in awe.
Some could not contain themselves and blurted about how cute the little bun was. Bai Xiaojin became shy. But what he wanted was pressing.

"What's the matter?" Li Fengjin asked.
"I wanna pee and there's no bathroom here. I can't hold it anymore. And I want ice cream," Bai Xiaojin whispered to them.
Li Fengjin chuckled. "Do you want to pee first or do you want ice cream?"
"Both," Bai Xiaojin answered.
"Alright. I can make that work."
Li Fengjin took Bai Xiaojin from Bai Renxiang's hands and excused himself after getting an assurance that Bai Renxiang would be okay alone.
"I didn't know that Mr Li would be so sweet to the child," one of the women said.
"Why would he not? The boy is his child," another woman chipped in.
"Say, have you and Mr Li always known each other? Because from the age range of the boy, it–"
"Oh, there you are, honey," Mrs Li's voice cut in.
"Mum. Where are you looking for me?" Bai Renxiang returned the smile.
"I was looking for you. I can't seem to find my 'grandson'." She purposely emphasised the grandson as she shot a quick glare at the woman asking silly questions.
"Oh, Jin took him to the restroom."
"Good. Anyway, the bridesmaids want your attention. They said it's for the game you youngsters would be playing soon."
