Xu Youlan was very excited when she saw Rong Zhen coming in. There were tears in her eyes, but she also had some complicated emotions: "Zhen, you... you are finally back?"
Rong Zhen smiled, but his words were extremely polite: "I'm sorry to have made you worry."
Xu Youlan's hands trembled, and she seemed to sigh softly: "Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit on the sofa next to me."
Rong Zhen responded and sat next to Xu Youlan.
There was something that they had nothing to say to each other.
Yang Jiaxin tried to smooth things over: "After so many years, my third brother doesn't look old at all. He looks the same as he did more than ten years ago. Unlike me, you can see that the wrinkles around the eyes are getting bigger and bigger... I must ask you for the secret to staying young someday..." Yang Jiaxin takes good care of herself, her cheeks are white and tender, and the wrinkles around her eyes are not obvious.
Rong Zhen gave Yang Jiaxin a somewhat genuine smile: "Second sister-in-law, you are joking. You look much younger than me."
Yang Jiaxin smiled, and when he saw Rong Yan and Meng Yao who had just entered the house, he explained, "This is Yao Yao, the wife that Ah Yan married not long ago."
Rong Zhen looked at Meng Yao with a deep meaning, and then looked at Xu Youlan beside him: "Ah'an married Meng Yao, whose surname is Meng, which Meng family?"
Xu Youlan's face froze all of a sudden.
Yang Jiaxin said hurriedly: "It's the Meng family in Beijing. Let's not talk about family background or anything like that. Yaoyao is a very likable child. The most important thing is that she and Ah'an are in harmony and happy. That's enough."
"Oh..." Rong Zhen stretched out his tone and asked again: "When did the daughter of the Meng family marry into the Rong family?"
Yang Jiaxin could hardly hold back his smile: "It was at the beginning of the year. You were still abroad at that time, so you didn't recognize Yaoyao."
"That's really a pity." Rong Zhen sighed casually and finally stopped delving into the issue.
Yang Jiaxin let out a breath.
"Now that everyone is here, let's eat."
Xu Youlan spoke, her voice no longer as strong as before, but weak.
The group walked towards the restaurant.
Meng Yao finally waited for this part, the eating part she was most looking forward to.
Meng Yao, who was weak just now, suddenly walked very fast, and Rong Wei finally held her back.
"Let Second Aunt and the others go first." He then asked her, "Did you not eat enough this morning?"
Meng Yao nodded and shook her head.
She eats a lot in the morning, but is still very hungry at noon.
She didn't know why she always felt that there was a hint of smile on Rong Yan's lips. Although this cold beauty's smile was as beautiful as spring flowers, she would always subconsciously guess the meaning behind the smile.
"Then eat more later."
It was just a casual remark, but Meng Yao was a little confused about Rong Yan's thoughts.
The family was seated quickly.
Everyone was somewhat restrained. It was more like chatting than eating. They hardly moved their chopsticks. After all, the time spent together as a family was so precious.
"Azhen, how have you been doing overseas in the past few years? Why don't you come back to China? The development momentum in China is very strong. The most important thing is that you don't have to stay abroad every day. Home is always better than anywhere else."
Rong Zhen seemed to glance at Rong Wei and said, "It's not that easy to relocate industries back home. I guess I'll have to be busy overseas for a few more years. But I'll stay at home for a few more days during the New Year."
Xu Youlan sighed: "Stay a few more days... not bad."
Yang Jiaxin smiled and said, "The old lady misses you a lot. Third brother, please call her more often so that she can rest assured."
Rong Zhen didn't respond immediately. He took a sip of tea and said in an ambiguous tone, "Business is indeed a bit busy, but at my age, I always want to leave something behind for myself..."
Yang Jiaxin nodded, and at Xu Youlan's suggestion, he asked, "Third brother... you've been abroad for so long, do you have a girlfriend?" Yang Jiaxin laughed again, "Look, Ah An is married. In my opinion, you'd better find a partner. You're busy with your career now, so you won't feel it. You'll understand in the future that you still need someone to talk to."
Then you can feel a distinctly stagnant atmosphere.
Rong Feifei is the youngest and hates this kind of atmosphere the most. For example, right now, she feels like she can't even breathe smoothly.
When she was in school, countless people would stick to her and flatter her, praising her for her good family background. However, Rong Feifei knew clearly that the Rong family was not as harmonious as outsiders thought. Her third uncle Rong Zhen was a man who was as smart as her eldest brother Rong Zhen, and was very difficult to deal with.
Rong Zhen would occasionally talk to Rong Feifei when he returned to the old house. He was smiling, but she never smiled at him. Perhaps blood relationship also played a part. Although Rong Zhen had a cold personality, Rong Feifei and Rong Zhen had a good relationship. But Rong Zhen... He was adopted by the Rong family after all, and he had no attachment to the Rong family.
Rong Feifei lowered her head and found that Rong He next to her also had a serious expression.
She looked to the left again and was stunned. She saw Meng Yao stuffing dumplings into her mouth. She swallowed it in one gulp, not being affected by the people around her at all.
She ate quickly and efficiently, but she didn't seem to be rude.
Rong Feifei swallowed subconsciously. She suddenly felt very hungry. Meng Yao's meal was a little too appetizing...
Rong Feifei usually doesn't like Meng Yao because Meng Yao has low emotional intelligence and is always easy to offend people. Once Meng Yao went to a parent-teacher meeting for her, and from then on Rong Feifei became the laughing stock of the whole class.
But now...
Rong Feifei suddenly felt that her opinion of Meng Yao seemed to have changed a little.
He has changed from being a big shot to being a big eater, and is much more likable than before.
Rong Feifei suddenly sighed, as if she could escape the awkward atmosphere by staring at Meng Yao eating.
Meng Yao noticed Rong Feifei's gaze and turned to look at her.
Rong Feifei's whole body stiffened, and she turned her head away stiffly, her cheeks slightly red.
Rong Wei was also looking at Meng Yao, and thought that the way she was not affected by her surroundings was somewhat... cute. He even wanted to touch her hair for a moment.
Meng Yao turned her head to look at Rong Wei, wondering why these two people were staring at her.
However, Meng Yao still had some reaction ability. She immediately picked up a piece of meat for Rong Wei. She picked it specifically to make it 80% fat and 20% lean, the kind that was guaranteed to burst with oil when you took a bite.
"Hubby, eat more. I'll give you a big piece. This is my favorite!"
She whispered, a smile appearing on her lips again, this smile was also deliberate.
It will be on sale at midnight tomorrow. The first order is very important. Those who like it, please support it. Love you~
