When Xiao Zheng came downstairs, Ye Yuhua was chatting happily with Lin Xiaozhu, and he couldn't help but come up to chat and said, "What are you talking about?"
After being exposed to the embarrassing incident by Lin Xiaozhu just now, Xiao Zheng felt that it was necessary to get close to his sister-in-law, so as not to be unable to hold his head up when talking in the future.
"Auntie and I are whispering." Lin Xiaozhu rolled his eyes at Xiao Zheng and curled his lips. "Brother-in-law, you are a grown man, why are you so nosy?"
Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Who says men can't gossip? Brother-in-law, I have loved gossip since I was a child. Come, tell me what happy things you talked about."
"Tch. I won't tell you." Lin Xiaozhu glared at Xiao Zheng, then took Ye Yuhua's arm and shook it. "Auntie, I will be eighteen years old in a few months. Will you come to celebrate my birthday then?"
"Of course." Ye Yuhua smiled gently. "I'm afraid you won't invite me."
"How could that be?" Lin Xiaozhu leaned his head on Ye Yuhua's shoulder and said coquettishly. "Auntie, you must prepare a big gift for me. Otherwise I will lose face."
Xiao Zheng, who was sitting aside eating fruit, had no expression on his face, but he was extremely shocked in his heart.
Ye Yuhua was Lin Xiaozhu's mother's former love rival. And speaking of it, Lin Xiaozhu's mother was simply a mistress who deserved death in front of Ye Yuhua. With such an embarrassing status, Xiao Zheng really couldn't imagine that Lin Xiaozhu would be so close to Ye Yuhua. If he hadn't known about everyone's relationship, Xiao Zheng would have thought that Lin Xiaozhu was Ye Yuhua's daughter. Lin Huayin is the daughter of Ye Yuhua's love rival.
This girl Lin Xiaozhu is so big-hearted that she has no worries, and Ye Yuhua really has given up on everything. Even Lin Xiaozhu loves her so much. Sure enough, he has the demeanor of a big shot. I have to accept it.
After waiting for a while, Lin Huayin finally came downstairs. But everyone discovered that she had not changed her clothes and was still wearing casual home clothes, which was surprising.
"I'm going to the company later to handle some urgent documents. You can go and eat." Lin Huayin said calmly.
Xiao Zheng was quite unhappy when he heard this and frowned: "No matter how important the work is, you still have to eat. You can't deal with it tomorrow."
"I told you, it's an urgent document." Lin Huayin said calmly.
"We can wait for you." Xiao Zheng insisted. But in his heart, he secretly couldn't understand why this woman didn't go even if she said she didn't want to go. No matter how busy you are, you can't miss this meal. Besides, today is still her birthday. Do she really want to celebrate her birthday alone in the company
"No, I can't go home until very late." Lin Huayin said expressionlessly. Like a piece of thousand-year-old ice, stubborn and unyielding.
"Sister," Lin Xiaozhu rushed to Lin Huayin and hugged her. "I finally took a day off today just to celebrate your birthday with you. As the master, how can you not be here?"
"I really have something to do." Lin Huayin said with a slightly unnatural expression.
"Is there anything more important than eating with me?" Lin Xiaozhu said eagerly. "I'd be very sad if you didn't go."
"Yes. Xiaozhu finally got home. Just think of it as having dinner with her." Seeing Lin Huayin's expression softening, Xiao Zheng added with jealousy. "You also know Xiaozhu's temperament. She is quite vindictive."
Lin Huayin couldn't resist the two's persuasion, and finally nodded and said: "Okay. I'll go change my clothes first."
"No need," Lin Xiaozhu said with a cheerful smile. "My sister looks so beautiful and elegant no matter what she wears,"
After everyone made a fuss, they finally went out as scheduled and headed to the vegetarian restaurant Lin Huayin had booked in advance. Because it was dinner time, the restaurant was crowded and lively. The waiters were busy wiping tables, serving dishes, and greeting guests. There was a great uproar.
The four of them were led by a waiter to a fairly quiet dining table. By the window, you can see the bright lights on the street, which is very comfortable.
Lin Huayin ordered a few familiar dishes and handed the menu to Xiao Zheng to give him face in front of outsiders. But Xiao Zheng directly handed the menu to Lin Xiaozhu and said dotingly: "Xiaozhu, my brother-in-law can eat whatever you order."
Lin Xiaozhu's expression was a little unnatural. He took the menu and handed it to Ye Yuhua like a hot potato, saying, "Auntie, you'd better order some."
Ye Yuhua smiled warmly and said: "Auntie has been eating green vegetables and tofu in the mountains for twenty years, and she doesn't even know what the dishes on the menu look like. How to order it."
"Then," Lin Xiaozhu hesitated. Although she tried her best to hide it, in front of a wise woman like Ye Yuhua and Lin Huayin who knew her very well, no matter how well she disguised herself, she could not escape the glare of the mother and daughter. Even the thick-lined Xiao Zheng noticed that Lin Xiaozhu was different tonight than before, and couldn't help but urge. "Xiao Zhu, do you want to starve your brother-in-law to death? Just order whatever you want, why are you so mother-in-law?"
Lin Xiaozhu, who originally thought that his brother-in-law was talking to him, felt extremely aggrieved when he heard this. His heart was full of sadness, but he still had a sweet smile on his face. He quickly ordered a few dishes, then handed the menu back to the waiter and added: "It's my sister's birthday today, give us another dozen beers."
"Okay." The waiter left the table with a smile.
Lin Huayin never liked to talk, and Lin Xiaozhu was not as lively and cheerful as usual because of something on his mind, and became a little silent. On the contrary, Xiao Zheng, an outsider, kept activating the atmosphere and even shouted that he would get the birthday girl Lin Huayin drunk later. Lin Huayin did not comment on this, and just remained silent.
"Auntie, besides chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name, do you have any other entertainment activities on the mountain?" Xiao Zheng asked casually.
"Play chess." Ye Yuhua said kindly.
"What chess?" Xiao Zheng suddenly became interested. "To tell you the truth, I am quite accomplished in chess. I have faced off against professional chess players before. Although I lost slightly, I didn't lose badly."
Ye Yuhua smiled and said: "I play Go."
Xiao Zheng's expression froze and he said awkwardly: "I can't even understand Go..."
"Go is very simple, you will understand it in the next game." Ye Yuhua said with a smile.
"Then you can teach me later. I am still very talented in playing chess." Xiao Zheng tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, but found that except for the gentle and gentle Ye Yuhua, the two sisters did not participate in the conversation at all. Even Lin Xiaozhu, who has always been arrogant, did not laugh at himself for the first time, which was surprising.
After surviving until the food was served, the taciturn Lin Xiaozhu finally let go. He picked up the wine glass and said to Lin Huayin: "Sister, I wish you a happy birthday, live a harmonious life with your brother-in-law, and have a happy work."
"Thank you." Lin Huayin raised his glass and said.
Lin Xiaozhu seemed to be thirsty, and his family members were also bored and unspeakably melancholy.
