Tong Qiao and Liu Lingfeng came back from the garden and prepared to eat.
Tong Qiao and Lu Jinshen spent almost the entire night last night and were so hungry that their chests pressed against their backs. She sat down and picked up her chopsticks to start eating.
Xu Dechang coughed, looked at Tong Qiao with an unhappy look and said, "The elders haven't started eating yet, how can the juniors use their chopsticks first?"
Tong Qiao's outstretched chopsticks paused in the air, took them back, put them down, and said with an obedient expression: "Uncle Xu is right, it's because I'm ignorant, so please go first."
Liu Lingfeng wanted to say something, but Xu Dechang glared at her and swallowed back the words.
Xu Dechang picked up his chopsticks and ate first before everyone else started eating.
At the dinner table, Xu Dechang kept picking on Tong Qiao.
"Don't make any noise while eating."
"Why are you eating so fast? No one will compete with you."
"You can't just eat what's on the plate."
"Don't just eat for yourself, take care of your children and husband too."
Tong Qiao didn't eat much during the meal, but she learned a lot about the rules. She was not temperamental, and it was obvious that Xu Dechang was deliberately making things difficult, but in order to be with Lu Jinshen, Tong Qiao endured it.
Who said he was the father of Lu Jinshen's savior
After dinner, Liu Lingfeng took Xu Dechang out for a walk to eat. As soon as they left the villa, Liu Lingfeng began to ask: "Old Xu, what do you mean?"
Xu Dechang put his hands behind his back with a mature look on his face, "What do you mean?"
"Tong Qiao is such a good child. Isn't it interesting that you keep trying to fight against her?"
"Which of your eyes saw that I was having trouble with her? I was teaching her the rules."
"Stop pretending in front of me, what are the rules? We come from a small family, where do those rules come from? You are clearly deliberately trying to embarrass that child. You are an old naughty boy. Which of the rules you just mentioned do you follow? Yes? Let me tell you, I like this child Tong Qiao very much, and I think she will be good to our grandson. If you continue to make things difficult for her, don’t blame me for tearing you down in front of the children. "
Xu Dechang raised his eyebrows and said, "How dare you."
"See if I dare."
Xu Dechang strode forward angrily, walked out for a long distance before turning back, and said angrily: "You are just short-sighted. No matter how good the stepmother is, can she have her own biological mother?"
"My biological mother is good, but Jin Shen and Yu Fei have been together for five years and have not developed feelings for each other, which shows that they are not suitable. It was very selfish to force Jin Shen to marry Yu Fei back then. Now you still want to break up their relationship." Marriage is so unkind."
"I'm doing this all for Zi Qian's own good."
"I know you are doing it for Zi Qian's good, but old man, we can't be so selfish. We have delayed Jin Shen for five years. Do you still want to hang out with him for the rest of your life?"
Xu Dechang's eyes turned uncomfortably and he said nothing.
Liu Lingfeng continued: "Hua'er saved Jin Shen, but if Hua'er knew that we were treating Jin Shen like this, he would not feel at ease."
Xu Dechang's eyes darkened when he thought of his son who died young, and his vision suddenly became cloudy.
Liu Lingfeng also had tears in her eyes, and she took Xu Dechang's arm and continued to walk forward, "We can't use the shackles of kindness to keep Jin Shen imprisoned for five years. It's time to let him go free. If he has feelings for Yu Fei, then It's fine, but he doesn't like it. He and Yu Fei have been together for five years and have never touched Yu Fei. Doesn't this explain the problem? "
Xu Dechang kept silent.
"Didn't you see the way Jin Shen looked at Tong Qiao? He was really happy. If Hua'er is here, he definitely wants them to be happy."
"Don't mention Hua'er in front of me." Xu Dechang's voice was vicissitudes of life, "If it weren't for saving him, how could my Hua'er leave us..."
"Dechang, this is Hua'er's choice. Why can't you see through it all these years? Why can't you get out of this dead end?" Liu Lingfeng said, lowering her head and wiping away the tears from her eyes.
Xu Dechang sighed heavily, and the two of them did not speak again. They were silent all the way. When walking back, Xu Dechang spoke up, "We will stay here for a while. I want to inspect her, so don't make any trouble for me."
A smile appeared on Liu Lingfeng's face and she nodded repeatedly. She knew that Xu Dechang had already regressed, and she believed that in the end he would be satisfied with Tong Qiao.
Xu Dechang frowned, "Why are you laughing? If she is not qualified, I will never allow her to be my grandson's stepmother."
"Yes, yes, of course we can't agree if it's not up to standard."
"..." Xu Dechang wanted to object, but found that he had nothing to say. He grunted awkwardly and strode towards the villa, "I'm too lazy to hang around here with you. I'll go with my grandson."
…
After Xu Dechang and Liu Lingfeng went out, Tong Qiao dismissed Lu Ziqian and asked him to go upstairs to see his sister. Then she asked Lu Jinshen, "Did you pick up Uncle Xu and Aunt Liu?"
"No, they came here on their own..." Lu Jinshen paused and then said, "Aunt Liu told me that Yufei called them and told them about our marriage."
Tong Qiao curled her lips in displeasure, "Your ex-wife is planning to let these two old men break us up. It seems that she has a deep affection for you."
A smile gradually appeared in Lu Jin's eyes, and he waved to Tong Qiao across the dining table, "Come here."
Tong Qiao sat still, "What are you doing?"
"come over."
"Not going."
Lu Jinshen stood up and walked to Tong Qiao's side. His skeletal fingers gently rubbed against Tong Qiao's ambiguous neck, with a gurgling smile in his eyes, "Are you jealous?"
Tong Qiao pushed Lu Jinshen's hand away and looked up at the tall man standing in front of her, "Yes, I'm jealous, okay?"
"Okay." The smile in Lu Jinshen's eyes deepened. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and looked down at Tong Qiao, "Actually, even if Yufei doesn't call them, I plan to take you to see them at a time soon. I hope our marriage can be approved by them."
Tong Qiao could understand Lu Jinshen's thoughts. Xu Dechang and Liu Lingfeng were Lu Ziqian's grandparents. Naturally, they had to agree to find a stepmother for their grandson, but... "If they don't like me, don't you want me?" "
"Didn't we already get the certificate?" Lu Jinshen paused and said, "I can see that Aunt Liu likes you very much, and I believe that Uncle Xu will also like you before long."
Tong Qiao smiled, "Uncle Xu obviously doesn't like me very much. I don't even have the confidence to let him recognize me. Are you more confident than me?"
Lu Jinshen took out a hand from his pocket, gently brushed Tong Qiao's full lips with his thumb, and looked at her with deep eyebrows, "Yes."
Tong Qiao felt like an electric current passed through her lips and spread all over her body instantly. Lu Jinshen's affirmative answer made her feel happy again. She stood up from the chair, grabbed the skirt of Lu Jinshen's chest with one hand, and held Lu Jinshen's chest with the other. Putting it on his shoulder, "Don't tease me."
