Dinner was eaten in unusual silence, which prevented any chaos.

Su Lin's mood plummeted because she had a fight with Zhu Yuanyuan on the way and was disliked and ignored by Lin Chu.

During dinner, I was thinking of spending some quality time with my daughter, Mai Mai.

Unexpectedly, Mai Mai ran to Ge Lan's side with a sullen face and a disappointed expression.

She would rather sit down and have dinner with Ge Lan and Huang Yiyi than sit with her biological mother, Su Lin, who was only interested in the benefits of the divorce and didn't care about her at all.

Upon seeing this, Su Lin hesitated, her heart filled with bitterness.

I was just about to look up to find my accomplices.

But she suddenly realized that she was extremely unpopular. Even though she had some connections with Ge Lan and Huang Yiyi, they didn't even glance at her.

Lin Chu, who was now nominally her ex-husband, wouldn't even give her a glance.

Even Zhu Yuanyuan, the assistant of her own lawyer, was surrounded by the opposing lawyer's team and had no time to pay attention to her.

For a moment, Su Lin could only sit there silently and alone.

She looked like a resentful woman who had been abandoned by everyone.

They could only eat the food on the table in large mouthfuls, but it tasted like cardboard.

I've regretted it more than once.

If I hadn't listened to my best friend and brother's advice, hadn't gone on that ridiculous divorce reality show with Lin Chu, things wouldn't have come to this.

But I'm still a wealthy woman!

But at this point, it's too late to say anything...

During the meal, Miaomiao and Zhuangzhuang, the brother and sister, seemed to notice that their friend was unhappy.

They immediately tried different methods to coax Mai Mai into eating.

Since Zhuangzhuang opened his heart through equal communication with Lin Chu, he has automatically grown into a good older brother who wants to be a man.

Unlike at noon, he won't hide away and play video games, ignoring everyone.

On the contrary, she is very good at taking care of and protecting her two younger sisters.

He would occasionally engage in equal conversations with Lin Chu in a mature, adult-like manner, and then he would become incredibly energetic, as if he had been injected with adrenaline!

He also seemed to care a lot about the age-gap friendship between him and Lin Chu.

This was a unique conversation he had never experienced at home with his mother, Huang Yiyi, and he took it very seriously!

Huang Yiyi originally didn't want to get involved in this mess, and she didn't want to be with Su Lin in a fake relationship.

After all, the few days she spent with Su Lin while filming the show "Let's Get a Divorce, My Love" were already like torture!

If it weren't for the sake of the variety show, she and a woman like Su Lin would never be on the same level and would never have any interaction.

She will no longer be bullied by the rude Su Lin.

But when she saw the change in her son Zhuangzhuang's emotions and the development of his personality, she was overjoyed.

Lin Chu really knows how to deal with children!

For a moment, even though she had to suppress her disgust for Su Lin and stay at the dinner party, she was happy and couldn't wait for her son to spend more time with Lin Chu.

Her earnest demands at home, which she often painstakingly made, and her lectures that had no effect on her son, were often ineffective.

At this moment, Lin Chu's clever way of communicating actually had an immediate effect!

Huang Yiyi was overjoyed!

Ge Lan was simply out of necessity, since she tried her best to maintain good relationships with everyone on the show and mostly played the role of a nice person.

Now, given the awkward atmosphere at dinner, she had to work a little harder to maintain a semblance of peace.

Fortunately, Mai Mai's innocence and cuteness gave her some psychological comfort.

Thinking back, if she hadn't had an abortion during her last pregnancy and had instead given birth to the child, her child might be about the same age as Mai Mai now.

Her maternal love, which naturally overflowed, made her reluctant to leave Mai Mai alone with her biological mother, Su Lin.

Everyone at the dinner party had their own thoughts, making the situation quite complicated.

Lin Chu ate her meal herself while occasionally feeding her daughter and the other two little ones.

Besides that, I occasionally chat with Ge Lan and Huang Yiyi.

He didn't interact with Su Lin at all, neither verbally nor with her eyes, as if she wasn't even there at the dinner party.

Besides their complicated family relationships, Zhu Yuanyuan became another focal point at the dinner party.

Four lawyers were present in Lin Chu's legal team.

Among them were vice presidents and directors of the local bar association, all of whom were Zhu Yuanyuan's seniors in the industry.

Inside the car, she might still be able to stand up to Lin Chu and refuse to compromise.

But upon seeing these industry veterans, especially the bar association leaders who could potentially determine the fate of her career, she instantly transformed into a weak and easily bullied lamb.

It's not just about offering toasts repeatedly; you also have to feel flattered and overwhelmed by the unexpected concern shown by your seniors.

Throughout the meal, it was Zhu Yuanyuan who was the most anxious.

She not only met with the opposing lawyer, but even had a meal with him, which is a major taboo in the industry!

Even when she turned to her supervising lawyer, Song Yuhong, she was unable to defend herself and couldn't explain herself clearly.

I couldn't help but feel a deep sense of anxiety.

Amidst clinking glasses and exchanging toasts, everyone harbors countless schemes and hidden agendas throughout the meal.

The bond between the three children was the purest.

However, when it was time to go home that evening, they had to part ways temporarily.

Huang Yiyi already owned a luxury mansion in the city, and the Yang family even had a family estate, so after the dinner, she immediately got into a car and was driven home by the driver.

Before leaving, they agreed on a time for their next skiing practice.

Glenn was a newcomer, but he would stay here until the rest of the group went abroad for skiing.

So until then, they could only accept Lin Chu's arrangement and stay at his villa, which was a quiet place.

Su Lin was now determined to use the child to obtain evidence.

So as soon as the dinner ended, she immediately and forcefully took over Mai Mai.

Mai Mai was tired after playing all day, and fell asleep in her mother's arms without making a sound, which was very reassuring.

The group arrived at the parking lot.

Zhu Yuanyuan was slightly tipsy, and relying on the last bit of rationality she had left, she politely spoke.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Lin. Now that the dinner is over, I should head back."

"As for my client, Ms. Su Lin, tonight..."

Even without her explicitly stating it, Su Lin's actions already indicated something.

With a cold face, he held the sleeping Mai Mai and waited by Lin Chu's car early in the morning, naturally urging her to hurry up.

"Of course I'm going home to sleep!"

"The divorce proceedings aren't over yet, but that's still my home."

"Open the car door right now!"

"Aren't you worried about your daughter getting cold and catching a cold?"

"I don't know how you can be a father!"

Lin Chu ignored her completely, but for her daughter's sake, she wouldn't bother arguing with her.

He casually opened the car door and let her get in with her daughter first.

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanyuan also looked a little embarrassed, and hesitated to say something to Lin Chu, as if she wanted to say something.

However, since Ge Lan was also present, they decided to give up.

He said a hasty goodbye, turned around and left the underground parking lot.
