by MarineTLChapter 27: Mama’s Girl 10
“Ren Xin, today is Grandpa’s birthday. Are you going? My mom booked a venue at a restaurant and invited relatives and friends, thinking it would be a good chance to make some noise!”
The old man’s birthday?
“Of course, I’m going!”
Ren Sifan was stunned. He didn’t expect Ren Xin to agree. For a moment, he wasn’t sure if he had done something foolish.
“Mom, I’m going to a birthday party for a lonely elderly person tonight. I’ll be back later. You and that new director can eat something casually. Don’t wait for me.”
After hanging up, Zheng Xiujuan sighed helplessly. This child…
Ren Yi, curious, asked, “The child has a kind heart. Why are you still sighing?”
Zheng Xiujuan replied helplessly, “What lonely elderly person? It’s her grandpa’s birthday. This child hates that side of the family. She speaks so disrespectfully. Who knows what trouble she’ll cause today.”
Ren Yi was also worried that the little girl might end up being bullied.
Who would have thought, Zheng Xiujuan sighed again, “I just hope Ren Xin can restrain herself a little.”
Ren Yi: “………” Is this the right reaction?
Ren Xin swore that restraint was impossible. She was going there armed with a laser cannon, ready to roast everyone present!
Ren Sifan took Ren Xin to the birthday banquet. The scene was already bizarre, but what was even more bizarre was the look on the third party’s face.
“Hello, concubine. I am the legitimate daughter, Ren Xin! Shouldn’t you kneel to me? Huh… why is a concubine wearing red1? In ancient times, this would have resulted in the execution of nine generations2. Oh, your family must have died early, right? Did you kill them with your temper? Don’t be too sad, though. You managed to get into the Ren family’s door. I imagine your family must be restless in their graves…”
Everyone: “………..”
The party was completely stunned. Ren Pengfei quickly pulled Ren Xin aside. “Ren Xin, can you stop causing trouble? How did you even come here?”
Ren Xin shrugged nonchalantly. “It was your idiot son who invited me. I didn’t want to come, but he was too enthusiastic. Ah, maybe I was too light with my insults? It seems like no one here is very happy~”
“Can you just accept that Dad is sorry? It’s Grandpa’s birthday. Can you not cause trouble today?”
“What’s the point of apologizing? You all need to feel as miserable as I do! After all, I have half of your genes, so I’m probably not a good kid. Don’t worry, your retribution is still to come.” Ren Xin replied with a wicked smile.
Ren Pengfei froze. This child…
At the restaurant, the expected relatives had arrived. Everyone knew about the Ren family’s issues, but in this day and age, people laugh at poverty but don’t criticize concubines3. She managed to climb up because of her own abilities—no one could blame anyone for that.
Grandpa and Grandma Ren had dark expressions, urging Ren Pengfei to quickly seat Ren Xin. He didn’t want to embarrass himself any further.
Ren Xin cheerfully toasted, “Grandpa, I came in such a rush that I didn’t bring you a full set of health supplements. Maybe you could still have a third child and fill the house with grandchildren! Grandma, don’t you think? After all, you have such an open-minded outlook. If Grandpa takes in a little one, I think it wouldn’t be a problem. Big Aunt, don’t you think so? Where’s Uncle? He didn’t come? Really unfilial4. Did Uncle beat you recently? You should’ve taken it. Men have their bad days sometimes…”
“Oh, this granddaughter is no pushover!”
“it’s understandable. The kid is on her mother’s side, but this is really going too far.”
“Seems like the mother didn’t teach her well. How can she speak like that to her elders?”
The whispers were clearly heard by Ren Xin. She slowly walked up to the person speaking and everyone’s eyes followed her every move.
Including the person whose face had turned red from embarrassment.
“Who are you to my family?”
Someone whispered, “I think she’s a relative from the wife’s side.”
Ren Xin understood. “Oh, you’re a lowly person here to enjoy the feast? Well, eat up. You’re so clueless, I’ll let you off today. Eat more, I’m sure your family doesn’t have enough. Don’t be shy. It’s all on the fools who pay.”
Everyone: “………..” No one dared to move!
Translator’s Notes
wearing red: In ancient Chinese social hierarchy and wedding customs, only the official first wife was permitted to wear true red. Concubines were restricted to ‘lesser’ colors like pink or green. Wearing red as a mistress was considered a grave insult and an attempt to usurp the wife’s status. ↩︎
execution of nine generations: Known as ‘Zhu Jiu Zu,’ this was the most severe form of collective punishment in imperial China. For crimes like treason, the offender and their entire extended family—spanning nine degrees of kinship—were executed. ↩︎
laugh at poverty but don’t criticize concubines: A play on the Chinese proverb ‘Laugh at the poor, but not the prostitute’ (笑贫不笑娼). It describes a cynical social outlook where material wealth is the only metric of success, and the moral means of acquiring that wealth (such as being a mistress) are ignored. ↩︎
unfilial: Filial piety (Xiao) is the core Confucian virtue of respecting one’s parents and ancestors. To be called ‘unfilial’ (Bu Xiao) is a severe moral condemnation in Chinese culture, implying a fundamental lack of character. ↩︎
