After saying that, she held the bag high up and shook her head while making clicking noises with her tongue, “Tsk, tsk… A bag like that costs more than a hundred thousand, such a scam isn’t it? Only that daughter-in-law of mine would be willing to pay for this. It could be that she’s the daughter of a millionaire. A hundred thousand meant nothing to her.”

Yu Qianying smiled reluctantly. Not to mention that she felt uncomfortable, not jealous, when Zhou Mingyan flaunted intentionally. She thought about what kind of statement was she trying to make—was it ill-intentioned?

Moreover, Zhou Mingyan was aware of what happened between Jian Yi and Song Yu. She even mentioned how nice it would be if the two children could be together. Now that she had a rich daughter-in-law, she forgot everything that she had said before.

Yu Qianying only heard from Song Yu that Jian Yi already has a girlfriend. She did not give much thought about it, partly because Song Yu did not tell her the details. That was also why Yu Qianying was not too uncomfortable with it.

However, Zhou Mingyan came to her doorstep to boast about how rich the woman that Jian Yi was going to marry was. It sounded as if they were abandoning Song Yu for her money. Yu Qianying was not okay with this.

Zhou Mingyan took out an invitation card and passed it to her, “Jian Yi is getting married on the 19th of next month. Please grant us with your presence. Don’t have to prepare any monetary gift, your presence is good enough. Our daughter-in-law’s family doesn’t care about the amount.”

The words of Zhou Mingyan was so repulsive that Yu Qianying could not even maintain the stiffened smile on her face.

With that being said, she was implying that they were like beggars in comparison to them. Their monetary gift would be such a small amount that it was negligible.

This was just another way of saying that they were poor!

If it was not that they found a rich daughter-in-law, the Jian family was worse off than theirs!

Even before the Song family went bankrupt, they had never once looked down upon the Jian family. What was Zhou Mingyan implying at this moment!

Just because they gained some wealth from someone else, they came here to flaunt it in their faces! Are they nuts?!

Yu Qianying received the invitation with a strained face, “Sure, if that’s the case we won’t follow the tradition. Nowadays, it’s such a pain to worry about the monetary gift for the wedding. It should be a celebratory event, but to cause misery upon others would bring no good, others will not give their sincere wishes as well, am I right?”

Yu Qianying opened the invitation while she spoke. Her expression darkened when she saw the bride’s name.

She obviously knew the relationship between the Song and Qi families. What was she trying to achieve by sending her the invitation!

Jian Yi got together with Qi Chengyue secretly and still misled them that Song Yu was the person that he liked. Furthermore, he kept coming to their doorstep even though he was about to be the son-in-law of the Qi family. How could he be so thick-skinned!

Zhou Mingyan’s expression changed and said awkwardly, “Aiya, this… I was too preoccupied with my son’s marriage and forgotten about you guys and the Qi family… haha, it’s okay if you guys can’t be there. I’ll send over the wedding candies.”

“Actually, it would be best if you can let it go. So many years had passed. Or else, the one that suffers the most is yourself,” Zhou Mingyan continued, “About this… you’re not upset about Jian Yi marrying Chengyue right?”
