Xi Junxi's intestines were green with regrets, he wanted to say something but even after thinking for a long time he couldn't come up with an answer with his head lowered Xi Junxi simply let Xi Zheng scold him but just because Xi Junxi was willing to listen to it doesn't mean that Xi Sang was going to listen too.
When he saw that his wife was on the verge of crying, he immediately took a step forward and then glared at his uncle before speaking coldly, " What are you screaming at my father for? Are you looking down on us just because we don't have as much money as your family? My father is willing to lower his head in front of you because you are his elder brother but that does not mean that you can just scold him however you want!"
" Xi Sang! Watch your mouth!" Assistant Xi did not say anything till now because the elders were talking but upon seeing Xi Sang refute his father he couldn't stop himself as he snapped at the man and said, " You are talking to my father, how can you even raise your voice in front of him like this? Have you forgotten how to act like a human after marrying a ghost?"
Assistant Xi's confirmation was all that the relatives of the Xi family needed the second they heard Assistant Xi declare that Lady Yan was indeed a ghost, they all took a step backwards. They were people from the countryside and thus believed that supernatural beings existed—— however upon seeing one they couldn't help but be scared out of their wits.
ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm Xi Rougang stared at the ghost and then turned to look at his second nephew as if he had lost his mind. What kind of tragedy was he trying to cause by marrying a ghost and it was all right if he was just trying to die on his own but why did he have to bring this ghost here?
" H..Has brother Sang gone mad?" Xi Rougang's son asked in a low voice causing his mother to cover his mouth and turn his head away. She wasn't the only one, many women did the same thing as they knew that looking a ghost in the eyes was similar to inviting the grudge-full spirits to their houses!
" You too look away," Assistant Xi's mother hissed under her voice as she asked her son to look away from the ghost woman as well. She did not want a ghost getting latched on her son like Xi Sang who knew what kind of spell that ghost cast on Xi Sang that boy was acting like a fool, how could anyone fall in love with a ghost? Much less marry one?
Just the very thought was enough to make Elder Madam Xi shudder with fright as she looked at the ghost woman before quickly looking away.
Assistant Xi scoffed before turning his head to the right, he couldn't believe his cousin and his antics. To think that he not only brought this ghost to a family banquet but he was even acting like an idiot!
In Assistant Xi's eyes, Xi Sang's actions were nothing but foolish but from Xi Sang's point of view, Assistant Xi was jealous. In his stuck-up head, Xi Sang had come up with his own wretched way to explain why Assistant Xi was angry at him and that was —— he was upset that he, Xi Sang married a woman much better than Assistant Xi could ever marry.
The more Xi Sang thought that Assistant Xi was jealous of him, the more satisfied he became. Thus, he raised his chin as proud as a peacock and then said haughtily, " I know that you are jealous but there is no need for you to act like this cousin. Even if you cannot find a woman as good as Lady Yan, do you have to act so sensitively?"
" Hah?" Assistant Xi felt like Xi Sang was living in some other dimension, with his eyes popping out of his sockets, Assistant Xi stared at his cousin and then stated, " I don't know why you are acting crazily but if you want to act like an idiot then do so in your own house! Don't drag others with you!"
With that he took a glance at Lady Yan even though she looked demure and kind, the warning that Song Yan gave to him rang heavily in his head. She told him that there was no way a ghost-like Lady Yan was not malicious, even though it was hard to detect this ghost wasn't something that they could treat lightly.
Xi Sang however did not take Assistant Xi's words seriously instead he snorted and then said, " She is my wife, if my family is coming to attend this banquet then of course she will come with me. So what if she is not like us? It doesn't change the fact that she is my wife and your sister-in-law, your words are nothing but disrespectful!"
Assistant Xi simply stared at Xi Sang as if he had gone crazy and then turned to look at his father who too seemed to be beyond speechless. He looked at Xi Sang and his family before saying, " If you think that is the case then it would be better if you leave."
Xi Zheng did not wish to be hard-hearted towards his little brother but he truly could not withstand Xi Sang and his stupid arrogance. If this nephew of his was someone of importance, he would have understood why he acted like such but Xi Sang was simply a good-for-nothing man, for him to act as if he was a victim while everyone else was simply too evil.
When Xi Sang heard his uncle's words, he got a bit more annoyed and thus did not even say a word of apology before dragging Lady Yan with him. But because he was too furious beyond his limits, he did not pay attention to the expression on Lady Yan's face whose gaze was locked on the little girl hiding behind her mother.
If he had taken a look at Lady Yan's expression then he would have caught hold of the greed which flashed in her eyes when she looked at the young child whose skin was so tender that water could be squeezed out of her skin if one was to pinch.
Assistant Xi scoffed upon seeing Xi Sang's actions and turned to leave as well, now that Lady Yan had come to his house he needed to go and call Song Yan to purify his house. Who knows what kind of evil energies that ghost was going to leave behind?
He also needed to buy a few more talismans from Song Yan for his family! Now that Lady Yan had seen the remaining half of relatives who knows what might happen to them? Thus he asked his uncles and aunts to stay at home while ignoring Xi Junxi and his wife. Because of these two who cared about their son more than anything else, they ended up causing trouble for the entire family!
Xi Junxi wanted to stop Assistant Xi but the latter did not give him a chance to do so. He brushed past Xi Junxi leaving him helpless as he stared at Assistant Xi with a worried look on his face.
On the other side in the cyber crime department, Wu Jin was looking at the reports handed by the control department of the live streaming app, he read through the information with his eyes skimming through each word as he pursed his lips and then said, " What nonsense is this? You want to say that there is no such streaming room under your application? Then how do you explain this, Director Li?"
Wu Jin snapped as he turned on the cooking video of the suspicious channel before turning to look at the portly man whose belly was quivering along with his entire body he pursed his lips and then replied, " Chief Wu, I am not lying. I have asked the control department to track the channel's IP address after you alerted us of the suspicious activities happening in this cooking channel but it's just as I told you, there is no 'verified' account with the username, ' ghostlyhand' under our contracted site. I am just as surprised as you!"
Director Li was also stunned when he found out that the channel which was supposed to be linked under their site had no connections to their network. When they tried to ban the account, their system only displayed one notification and that was —— the account didn't exist.
But the account was right where it was on the app, this was something that Director Li did not expect and was quite surprised as this was happening to him for the first time since he became the head of the control and management department!
