Chapter 113 A Modest Woman
Having lived in the Vittorio family for decades, he was well aware of the complex interpersonal relationships within. If one were not careful, things could go irreparably wrong.
He hoped to protect her every step of the way.
In the hall, all the relatives of the Vittorio family were already sitting.
At the highest position, Viviana Vittorio sat.
On the right were Giorgio's father, mother, as well as two uncles and their wives.
On the left were Giorgio's siblings.
Upon seeing the two of them finally arrive, they all teasingly commented, "Giorgio, Katherine, the coffee would have gone cold if you hadn't come."
"You young people, you really don't pay attention to customs and etiquette."
Implicitly, they dismissed their elders.
Even though Anna had never stayed in a wealthy family, she had watched her fair share of dramas, specifically about wealthy families. Were those remarks aimed at Giorgio?
She pursed her lips, her body suddenly feeling weak.
Giorgio's eyebrows furrowed, and he quickly caught her, asking, "What's wrong?" Could the presence of so many people have scared her?
Anna looked up at him and bashfully said, "It's, it's nothing. It's all your fault. I wanted to come early to accompany Grandma, but you insisted on..."
Her unfinished words naturally led people to think of something!
Giorgio's ears turned red.
Being too proud, he had never talked about such matters in public.
Even if it was a lie, her shy appearance still touched his heart.
Viviana, in her higher position, became even happier, wrinkles of kindness forming at the corners of her eyes as she smiled. "Alright, as long as you two are happily married."
Anna beamed with a radiant smile. "Grandma, today we wish to share our newlywed luck and happiness with you, hoping for your good health as well."
Viviana thought highly of her respect for her elders and couldn't stop smiling. "Lovely, may you both have a happy marriage."
"Good, good, you are such a good daughter-in-law, so likable."
She took the tea and took a sip. "Come here, this is the wedding gift I have prepared for you and Giorgio."
The butler beside her took out an ancient box and handed it over.
The people present were shocked.
It was Viviana Vittorio's collection of a lifetime, including various rare treasures, and even the night pearl, which they couldn't even catch a glimpse of.
But now it's being given to Katherine!
Anna didn't know what was inside, but judging from everyone's envious reaction, it was very valuable.
She maintained her composure and said, "Grandmother, I have already received the bracelet and your shares before. There's no need for this."
What?! She already received the heirloom bracelet and shares?!
"Grandmother, why? You didn't give something this expensive when I got married before?"
"Yeah, mom, this is too biased."
Several people couldn't sit still and jumped up.
Anna lowered her head, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
They had mocked her and Giorgio before, and now it was their turn to be embarrassed.
Sure enough, Viviana was immediately furious.
"What? I have to consult with you for everything I do? From the way you look, are you preparing to hit me?"
The faces of the several individuals turned white. "No, Mom, that's not what we mean."
"Grandmother, I'm sorry, I just feel that as younger generations, why is there such a big difference?"
Viviana coldly sneered, "Is your wife as outstanding as Katherine? Shopping and showing off all day long, and she even has the audacity to ask me for gifts?"
They couldn't utter a single word.
Giorgio didn't say a word and just watched the good show.
His deep gaze fell on Anna's smiling face.
Others might think she was being humble, but he knew she did it on purpose.
Suddenly, he felt that she, the innocent Anna, also possessed mature thinking.
It seemed he had underestimated her.
Afterwards, Anna greeted Giorgio's father and mother.
Matteo was easygoing and smiled warmly. "Not bad, we used to think Katherine was busy with her career, but we didn't expect her to be so sensible and well-behaved."
A gift was handed to her, but without revealing what was inside, it didn't cause any waves.
Giorgio's mother also gave her a gift, gentle and smiling.
But as a woman, Anna could sense that she didn't actually like her.
According to reason, no mother-in-law would dislike Katherine given her stature and status, and she even gave birth to a son, right?
"Please stand up." A magnetic and icy voice sounded.
A firm hand landed on her wrist.
Anna raised her eyes and saw it was Giorgio.
She smiled slightly, stood up, and followed him to their seats, asking him, "Your mother doesn't like me? No, she doesn't like Katherine?"
Giorgio's gaze darkened upon hearing this question. "At the Vittorio mansion, there are certain things you shouldn't ask. Don't mention it again." ask
She had just helped him, why was he being so cruel?
Fine, whether she is liked or not is not her concern anyway. She'll just wait for Katherine.
When Katherine wakes up, she will leave.
After a brief chat, everyone allowed the two to leave.
Stepping out of the Vittorio mansion, Anna took a deep breath of fresh air and looked at Giorgio, who was in the driver's seat.
"Mr. Vittorio, can we go on a honeymoon?"
Honeymoon? Affectionate couples usually go on a trip after marriage, for their honeymoon.
However, Giorgio had never considered it before, and he looked at her with a questioning gaze.
"Reason?"
Anna said, "Because I have a feeling that the atmosphere in your family is too terrifying. Additionally, I have received so much from your grandmother, and your relatives must hate me for it. They will definitely cause trouble for me."
Giorgio couldn't help but laugh.
"Weren't you quick-witted just now? Now you're scared?"
"I..." 'At that time, it was just that I couldn't stand it, they provoked us first.'
Seeing that she was genuinely scared, Giorgio's gaze softened.
"Don't worry, I rarely go to the Vittorio mansion."
'That's good, but I'm still very scared.'
Anna suddenly grabbed Giorgio's hand, as she remembered something.
"I can tell that, among those present today, besides your grandmother and your father, everyone else wants to drag you into the abyss. If things are exposed, you will definitely have a worse fate than me. So, Mr. Vittorio, protecting me is protecting yourself."
Giorgio squinted his eyes and chuckled.
"You're quite bold, talking conditions with me. But if I were you, I wouldn't have the mood to think about this right now. You should be worried about what's coming next."
Anna frowned.
"What's coming next?"
