We Are Meant To Be

Chapter 266 Rivalries

Feeling people's enmity and disdain to her, Christy Zhong tried to ignore them and cheered herself on. It didn't matter.

Why did she have to care about what others thought of her and commented on? Their opinions were not important to her. All she needed to do was to fill her heart with love and warmth. Christy then looked at James Feng gently and affectionately. He could give her courage. That's enough. She would ignore others.

Observing Christy and James exchanged glances, Yvonne Jiang was jealous. Now she had to control her feelings. But she had made up her mind. She would give the woman a lesson later.

Yvonne gave her a murderous look, but she didn't let other people see it. As a young lady of note as well as superstar, she was good at some tricks.

"Wow. My brother and future sister-in-law are really infatuated with each other!" Meijuan Feng teased them without restraint. In her opinion, such words might diffuse the tension here. But she didn't know that Yvonne and Zhangdong Feng became unhappy hearing her remarks.

But they didn't show it on their faces.

At this time, Yuchan Gui walked over. She held Zhangdong's arm and said in a gentle tone to him, "Zhangdong. You know Christy. Then I won't introduce her to you. We are all families here." Then she looked at James and told him, "You can greet your parents and grandparents. Then we can talk out there."

Yuchan showed her consideration for Zhangdong. She didn't want him to get tired. What's more, she also feared that if Zhangdong stayed with Tianyue Feng for too long, they might make trouble for him. So she panned to let the young people chat together. If the elders wanted to see him, she would inform him.

Chinese people attached great importance in filial piety. But actually, it's hard for the young to have an interesting chat with the elders. So there's no need to force them to stay together. Otherwise, things would become complicated and unpleasing.

Zhangdong looked at James and Christy and nodded. "James. Well, go." He really felt very uncomfortable staying with his parents and grandparents.

In this big family, the relation among them was delicate and subtle. Sometimes they wanted to get close with one another. However, it's really hard and depressing. And in order to maintain harmony, they had to pretend to be close in front of people. This was exhausting.

"Let's go." Christy held tight to Christy's hand. They were on the same side. So he must cooperate with her to be a good actor.

Christy just followed James with a gentle and decent smile.

Jing Lu, Tianyue, Leiting Feng and Xiuhua Du all frowned when seeing them holding hands.

Xiuhua glanced at Jing and said coldly, "Did you invite Miss Jiang here? Why does she come here? It will make our family ashamed."

People were like this. Though others often spoke ill of them behind their back, they always thought of themselves as pure, innocent ad perfect men.

Hearing her words, Jing was embarrassed. Actually, she ever told James not to bring her here. Unexpectedly, he still did so.

Her face took on a ghastly expression. And she glared at Christy with a murderous look. Seeing her expression, Christy lowered her head and stared at the ground.

Of course, she was clear that the four elderly men here all disliked her. So she had to hide herself behind James like an ostrich and control her feelings after she greeted them.

Noticing Xiuhua's hatred for Christy, he said calmly, "Grandma? Why are you so mad? Miss Jiang can come here. Of course, my wife can also come here. You know that we have been married. To be honest, it is Miss Jiang who shouldn't come here."

His words really humiliated them. They always attached great importance in family ethic. But knowing he was a married man, they still invited Yvonne Jiang here. It's a real slap in their face.

Leiting Feng smacked his hand down on to the table and said, "James. Don't act like a spoiled child! If you carry on like this, don't blame me for being harsh on you." He was aggressive and commanding.

But James knew that if he compromised, he was also admitting that all he had done before was tomfoolery. Besides, Christy would be isolated and derided more.

James wanted to do something for her. So he said without hesitation, "You are wrong. Christy is my girlfriend and fiancee. Our marriage certificate has legal status. So I mean it."Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

That's true. If they didn't have the certificate, he didn't need to be responsible for her. But with the certificate, the relationship between them was serious and dignified.

Christy was listening to them. She was very diffident. The law did guarantee the relationship. But things were much more complicated than what he said. But now all she could do was to keep calm and listen to them. She kept tell herself. It's not a big deal.

The elders were also clear that they should take it too seriously. Otherwise, it was they who got harmed. Then Tianyue tried to mediate so that Xiuhua and Jing wouldn't be that awkward.

"James. What are you saying? Marriage is very important. You need to get our consent. What's more, the marital relation is very unstable. You are a young man. Sometimes you are too impulsive. Probably someday you'll change your mind."

Tianyue looked serious when saying this as if he had known pretty well what kind of man he was.

James was reluctant. Parents were always like this. They didn't restrain and reflect their own behaviours in daily life. But they were very strict with the people around them, especially their juniors. Jing then echoed, "After all, he is too young. We should be tolerant of his impulsive behaviours."
