575 Psychological Gap

Furthermore, Xu Jiao's smelly body and overpowering bad breath assailed Old Madam's nostrils when she latched onto her and opened her mouth. This immediately caused Old Madam's stomach to churn, and she almost fainted.

Xiayun wanted to help Elderly Lady up, but Xu Jiao pushed her away forcefully. She tightly latched onto Elderly Lady without letting go, just as if she had caught a life-saving straw. Xu Jiao hugged Elderly Lady firmly and glowered menacingly at everyone else.

These years, Elderly Lady had been living quite the pampered lifestyle, so she was now almost dying from the strength of the stinky Xu Jiao's grip.

"Mom! Son isn't filial! To find Mom after such a long time." Qiao Zhongheng dashed over and knelt heavily on the floor while weeping.

Seeing her son so haggard and thin, Elderly Lady immediately felt sorrowful from heartache, and she gripped both of Qiao Zhongheng's hands as her tears streamed down her face.

"Xiao Long, hurry and come greet your grandmother, and give her a kowtow." Xu Jiao chided her son.

Qiao Long hastily scampered while wailing "Grandma."

The family of three wept fiercely while encircling Elderly Lady.

Elderly Lady didn't disdain the filth on Qiao Long's body either. Seeing how her chubby grandson had turned as skinny as a shriveled green bean, her heart ached so much that it almost made her faint.

After this family barged in, Qiao Mu already instructed people to shut the main door.

Although there weren't many people on Minshun Boulevard, the Qiao Estate was unwilling to enact a drama with their doors wide open.

Things were perfect now. After the three generations took their time to enact an episode in this drama, Granny Niu kicked Xu Jiao's leg impatiently, which finally caused Xu Jiao, who was still weeping bitterly, to regain her senses.

"Mom, how have you been these years?" Xu Jiao feigned wiping her tears away while peeping furtively at her sister-in-law on the side.

However, she was immediately filled with anger from this glance.

Wei Ziqin's face was fair, clear, and delicate, with only some fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was wearing a lotus-root-colored robe embroidered with peonies, paired with a similarly-colored flowery pleated skirt. She looked wealthy and noble at a glance.

The most hateful thing was that Wei Ziqin just sat there the entire time without batting an eyelid.

No less than half the day had passed, and no matter how big of a clamor Qiao Zhongheng's family of three made, she didn't even say a word.

This demeanor of hers infuriated Xu Jiao into gritting her teeth.

In the past, Elderly Lady favored her the most. How could Wei Ziqin compare to her when it came to food and clothes?

But now, her own family of three were just like the beggars on the street, while Wei Ziqin gloriously got promoted to a Marchioness. She wore damask and satin and ate exotic delicacies. This gap was just too large, to the point that it threw Xu Jiao's entire being and heart into turmoil.

"My sons are not filial and my daughter-in-law is not virtuous!" When Elderly Lady heard her youngest daughter-in-law's question, she immediately started bawling again.

It was as if Qiao Zhongheng was suddenly charged with energy, and he stood up abruptly, immediately denouncing Qiao Zhongbang. "Eldest Brother, how could you be so unfilial? Look how angry you made Mom! Have you taken care of Mom properly these past years?"

"As I said, Mom can't do without me taking care of her!" Xu Jiao squeezed out two drops of tears, and she said with a bitter face, "Mom, how about letting Daughter-in-Law and your eldest grandson take care of you the future?"

"Yes yes yes." Elderly Lady agreed repeatedly.

"But will Eldest Brother and them welcome us?" Xu Jiao asked deliberately while lifting the corner of her eye in order to provoke Wei Ziqin.

"He dares not to welcome!" Elderly Lady immediately bellowed, her voice full of vitality. "You're all full brothers that are ready to fight to death for each other under any circumstances. If he dares to be so shameless, then he can be ready to drive this old mother out along with you all!"
