"Later, I met Wanfang, got married and had Qiaoyu. Not long after, I received a letter from Ms. Hailanjuan, a letter asking for help. We used honorifics in a foreign language, and Jiang Mingjing thought she was his sweetheart. Later, after I returned to China!"

“I know that!” Shen Yuanyi answered quickly. “Back then, when I went to the airport to pick up my older brother and sister-in-law’s family, Jiang Mingjing suggested going with us. When he saw my older brother’s family, he felt that my older brother had wronged Lu Chen’s mother and almost beat my older brother up.”

Li Xiaoxiao listened with a gossipy expression.

Jiang Mingjing said awkwardly, "It really was impulsive."

"Actually, my relationship with Comrade Hai Lanjuan was simply that of teacher and student; there was absolutely no romantic feeling between us," Shen Yuanyi explained again.

Li Xiaoxiao initially thought there were feelings involved, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding.

Seeing the happy conversation downstairs, Shen Qiaoyue looked down from the balcony.

"What are Dad and Lu Chen's father talking about? Why haven't they come up yet?" Shen Qiaoyue muttered curiously.

“Dad and your Lu Chen’s dad have a lot to talk about!” Shen Qiaoyu whispered in Shen Qiaoyue’s ear.

Shen Qiaoyue looked at Shen Qiaoyu with great confusion and asked, "What do you mean?"

"This is a long story!" Shen Qiaoyu said in a deep voice.

This tone piqued Shen Qiaoyue's curiosity.

"Tell me, big brother!" Shen Qiaoyue said coquettishly, pulling on Shen Qiaoyu's hand.

Lu Chen watched as Shen Qiaoyue acted like a little girl whenever she was with her family.

"I won't tell." Shen Qiaoyu shook her head and refused, refusing to say a word even if you killed her.

Seeing how eager Shen Qiaoyue was to know, and then looking at Shen Qiaoyu's deliberately mysterious expression, Chu Wanfang shook her head helplessly.

"Stop teasing her!" As soon as Chu Wanfang spoke, Shen Qiaoyue heard her mother's tone and walked up to Chu Wanfang, saying, "Mom, you know about this too?"

"Of course I know, we almost got into a fight back then!" Chu Wanfang would never forget it. She sighed and said with emotion, "Looking back, it was fate!"

"Lu Chen's mother was your father's student..." Upon hearing this, Lu Chen immediately looked at his mother-in-law with curiosity.

Hearing Chu Wanfang recount what had happened in the past, Shen Qiaoyue turned to look at Lu Chen and said, "Then Lu Chen and I aren't separated by a generation!"

“According to what Mom said, Lu Chen should call Mom ‘Grandma’!” Shen Qiaoyu said this deliberately while staring at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't want to call his mother-in-law "Grandma".

After hearing all this, I was completely speechless.

"Haha..." Shen Qiaoyue couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Lu Chen chose to remain silent.

Seeing Lu Chen's expression, Chu Wanfang added, "It's just a title, not the kind where you actually have to kneel and bow to become an apprentice. I was actually Qiaoyue's father's student too. I hit it off with Qiaoyue's father on my first day at that school."

Chu Wanfang still felt shy when she recalled that time.

Shen Qiaoyue had never heard her mother mention these things before, and looked at her mother with a gossipy expression.

"Stop chatting and get to work, dinner's almost ready," Chu Wanfang immediately changed the subject.

Soon, people from downstairs came up, and the house suddenly became lively.

There were many children and many people, making a lot of noise.

During the meal, the men had a lot to talk about.

Lu Chen and Shen Qiaoyu didn't say a word; they just ate in silence, opened the door for the child, fed him, and peeled shrimp for him.

After dinner, we chatted for a long time, continuing into the evening. This man is really good at talking.

Shen Qiaoyue took the children out for a walk and came back, chatting from the living room to the park downstairs.

We were in a good mood that evening, had a few drinks, and everyone was very happy.

After dinner, Lu Chen and Shen Qiaoyu took Shen Yuanyi back to his home, and then picked up Jiang Mingjing to go home to their family compound.

Jiang Mingjing was sitting in the back. He wasn't drunk and could still chat with the children.

The two children chatted happily with Jiang Mingjing along the way, laughing a few times with every word. Children are so easily satisfied.

Back home, Lu Chen boiled water, and Shen Qiaoyue tidied up the house for Jiang Mingjing.

Since Lu He wouldn't be coming out anyway, the house has now been turned into a guest room, mainly used to store the children's clothes.

"Qiaoyue, these are things that Lu He and Fei Ming sent for your children. They asked me to bring them over. Lu He washed all these clothes, so they're ready to wear." Jiang Mingjing was packing his luggage in the living room, taking out the things Lu He had prepared. He had already taken out the things he had thought of when they were at the Shen family's house. The rest were for Shen Qiaoyue and Jiang Jinyao's children.

“Lu He’s monthly salary isn’t high, Dad. When you go back for the New Year, tell her to buy less.” Shen Qiaoyue felt sorry for Lu He, who didn’t earn money easily.

Jiang Mingjing said with a smile, "That's what you said to Lu He too. She said it's not easy for you to take care of two children by yourself. She said that she has only gotten to where she is today because of you and Lu Chen. She told me to ask you two to send her less money and things. She now earns forty-five yuan a month and doesn't need you to send her money."

Lu He thought about how hard her brother and sister-in-law had worked, and how the couple had also been kind to Lu He.

After listening to Jiang Mingjing's words, Shen Qiaoyue smiled helplessly and said, "Lu He just likes to shoulder everything alone. She only says good things and never bad things."

"Don't worry, Lu He is doing well now. She has someone who loves her, so you can rest assured," Jiang Mingjing added.

Lu He and Xu Feiming saw the three of them off at the station. The two of them looked so loving, it really was a case of "a daughter grows up and leaves home."

"By the way, Dad, isn't Lu He on holiday for the New Year? Why didn't he come with you?" Lu Chen asked curiously.

I remember Lu He saying that she took a holiday during the Spring Festival.

“Yes, when I called her, she didn’t say anything coherent before hanging up.” Shen Qiaoyue also found it strange.

Jiang Mingjing smiled and said with emotion, "Oh, she went to the army to find Xu Feiming!"

When Lu Chen heard Lu He's lack of restraint, his expression changed instantly.

"What would a girl be doing going to that place?"

Lu Chen thought of Lu He going to find Xu Feiming. The two of them were under the same roof, and who knew what might happen between them.

Jiang Mingjing could tell that Lu Chen was genuinely angry.

Shen Qiaoyue was both amused and exasperated. Whenever Lu Chen heard about Lu He and Xu Feiming's relationship, he would explode.

"What, are you jealous and angry? Then take the train right now to stop Lu He and bring him back?" Shen Qiaoyue couldn't help but glare at Lu Chen and complained, "They've been together for so long, and they only see each other a few times a month. They're still in the honeymoon phase of dating. If you don't go to Xu Feiming, who else should you go to?"

"I just feel..." Lu Chen wanted to explain, but seeing his wife's expression, he decided it was best to remain silent.

Shen Qiaoyue rolled her eyes helplessly and said, "You have to believe Lu He, she can control herself."

Lu He is a very clear-headed person, and Shen Qiaoyue absolutely trusts Lu He.

If it were something she couldn't help herself to, Shen Qiaoyue believed that Lu He must have thought it through carefully.
