The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Kevin's father Angelo had heard his son introduce Xu Yiyu to him before, and he also used some channels to learn more about this female chairman who had recently become famous in China.

Information from all sides proves that this beautiful female chairman is by no means an ordinary person and may even bring unexpected benefits to the family.

"Ms. Xu, we invited you to our house right after you got off the plane. As the host, it was really rude of us. Please forgive us for that."

As the patriarch, Angelo's vision is naturally better than those pedantic old men who are complacent and trapped in the shackles of fame. Although he is also a member of the Gallo family like them, he has no obligation to explain to them how powerful the female chairman is. It would be a good idea to let them learn a lesson from this lady.

There is an old Chinese saying that there is always someone better than you. As the patriarch, since I cannot make them understand this truth, letting outsiders help them understand it is also a good choice.

"Mr. Patriarch, you are so polite. I am so grateful that you promised to provide me and my friends with a place to settle down in Yidali. Naturally, I have to come and visit you in person to express my gratitude."

Of course, Xu Yiyu would return the favor with great respect to the clan leader who showed him respect and kindness.

"Hmph, Miss Christine, your words of gratitude don't count. Although the family has promised to provide you with shelter, it is not a charity."

A bearded elder in the elders' council snorted with some pride, glanced at Xu Yiyu out of the corner of his eye, and did not give her a good look.

"Yes, although you are a guest, there is no host who would suffer a loss after taking in a guest. Don't you agree, Miss Christine?"

Another elder with a clean, beardless face smiled and echoed the words of the previous bearded elder. The implication in his words could not be more obvious.

Although the other elders present did not speak, they all nodded slightly, silently expressing their approval.

Although Huang Niao was a guest of honor of the Gallo family, he was not a member of the family after all. They used Huang Niao, an outsider, to intimidate her, Xu, which almost made their disapproval known.

Xu Yiyu smiled generously. He was not panicked by the pressure from the elders. Instead, he became more relaxed.

"Of course, otherwise I wouldn't have taken a six-hour drive to come here to visit you all when I didn't have time to adjust to the jet lag after getting off the plane. The purpose is of course to show my sincerity."

She had wanted to be more polite to these elders who had given her a bad look as soon as she entered the room, but since only Kevin's father and Miss Huang Niao, who was also her guest, showed kindness to her, there was no reason for her to be infinitely tolerant.

Xu Yiyu's rebuttal was in a very calm tone, without any complaints or dissatisfaction, but to the ears of these elders, it somehow sounded harsh.

These old guys who think highly of themselves have always paid great attention to etiquette towards guests. Xu Yiyu's frank words were undoubtedly rubbing their old faces on the ground. Even they, who have thick skins like city walls, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Huang Niao did not support Xu Yiyu, but his eyes became brighter as he looked at his compatriot.

She knew that she didn't need any help at all. Xu Yiyu was able to receive olive branches from the four major families in the Chinese imperial capital in such a short period of time, and was able to so generously announce her relationship with Sun Qingfei and her fiancé Lu Sanshi on the social platform. She was definitely not an easy-going person who had gained her reputation in vain.

Patriarch Angelo also quietly watched these elders suffer in front of Miss Xu, and he had no intention of standing up for the elders at all.

He doesn't care if they are unhappy. He believes in the judgment of his own son, and he believes even more in his own judgment of people.

"Ahem, why hasn't the tea been served yet? Mary, quickly serve the tea to this young lady. We can talk while we have tea."

The bearded elder who spoke at the beginning coughed twice with an awkward look on his face, and loudly called the housekeeper who was standing in the hallway of the room. He gestured to her where Xu Yiyu was sitting, and asked her to bring some tea and snacks to evade the question that Xu Yiyu had just mentioned.

He couldn't admit that he was humiliated in front of a young girl, otherwise where would he save his dignity as a family elder?

The housekeeper raised her drooping eyes and looked at the Chinese woman whom she had just neglected with a hint of surprise, but she did not question the words of the bearded elder. She just quietly stepped back and brought over the tea.

It turned out that this beautiful Chinese girl with black hair and black eyes who looked very good-tempered was not so easy to bully. She was even unable to get the upper hand over Elder Beato, who was known for being difficult to talk to. This really surprised her.

"Thank you for your hospitality. It is my great honor."

Xu Yiyu didn't care that his words were passed off as false, he just smiled and politely expressed his gratitude.

Now, even the elder with a clean and beardless face showed a trace of discomfort, and looked away in embarrassment.

How could this Chinese woman sound so sincere in spouting such outrageous nonsense!

How could they have entertained her so well? Wasn't she deliberately implying that they were not treating her well enough?

"Ms. Xu, how long will you stay in this country this time? Do you have a rough time frame?"

Patriarch Angelo insisted on calling her by Xu Yiyu's surname, and he also believed that this Chinese woman would be able to sense the goodwill he was showing through her attitude.

"Of course I hope I can finish my work and return home as soon as possible, so as to cause you less trouble. However, there are too many uncertainties in my trip here, and I personally cannot estimate the approximate time it will take."

Xu Yiyu was telling the truth when he said this, and he was not playing Tai Chi.

As for the whereabouts of the imperial seal, all she knew now was the map that Jiu gave her. As for whether the imperial seal was at the destination shown on the map, everything was still unknown.

"Ms. Christine, I remember that you in China have a saying called Tai Chi, right? You said that you can't estimate the duration of this trip. Are you playing Tai Chi with us old guys?"

This time, the one who started the conversation was the elder with a clean face and no beard. He seemed to have some superficial understanding of Chinese culture, and pretended to be unintentional but actually spoke in front of Xu Yiyu deliberately.

As soon as Elder Beato placed the refreshments in front of Xu Yiyu, she heard the elder's provocative words.

However, Xu Yiyu did not care. He just smiled politely at the housekeeper Mary to express his gratitude, and then turned around to respond to this sentence.

"You may not know that we Chinese have a saying that sincerity is the most valuable. Since I am a guest in your country, I naturally know the principle of being honest and I will not play Tai Chi with you on a matter that I also value very much."

Xu Yiyu's words were well-timed. The elder with a clean-faced and beardless face still wanted to find fault after hearing her, but the Chinese woman's words were so beautiful and there was nothing rude about them, so he gave up the provocation.

As an elder of an old and prestigious family, he would never give up his reputation.
