Li Mu, once a dominant figure in the business world, reflects on his past actions towards his wife and daughter as he lies on his deathbed, filled with regret. If given another chance, he vows to c...
Li Mu knew that his father-in-law's prejudice against him would not be eliminated in a short time, so he could only take it slowly.
Li Mu waited until Lin Xiaocheng walked away before he came out of the store, bought some vegetables on the street, and prepared to go home to cook dinner.
If you want to conquer a person, you must conquer his stomach.
Li Mu had already thought it through just now, slowly infiltrating his father-in-law's mind and winning him over step by step.
Thinking of this, Li Mu's originally depressed heart felt much better, and he even returned home with the vegetables with some anticipation.
Lin Wan applied a hot towel to her red and swollen eyes at home. She thought about the big fight she had with her father when he came over this time, and she hadn't even accompanied him for a good walk.
So he tidied himself and Ruoruo up a little, held Ruoruo's hand, and prepared to go out to find Lin's father.
I happened to run into Li Mu who had just come back from buying vegetables.
"Where are you going, Wanwan?" Li Mu asked curiously as he looked at the two people who were dressed very elegantly.
Lin Wan looked at Li Mu and said, "I'm going out to take Dad for a walk. You cook tonight and make Dad some of your signature dishes."
...
...
Hearing what Lin Wan said, Li Mu smiled and said, "Of course, go shopping. Do you have enough money? Remember to buy something for Dad."
Lin Wan nodded and left with Ruoruo.
Just as she reached the door of the guesthouse, Lin Wan stopped in her tracks. She felt a little worried that her father would not welcome her and was still angry with her. What should she do?
After thinking for a while, Lin Wan walked towards the front desk and patiently explained to the receptionist for a long time that she was Lin Xiaocheng's daughter. Only then did she tell Lin Wan the house number of Lin's father.
Lin Wan took Ruoruo's hand and walked to Lin's father's door and knocked.
Father Lin, who had not reached an agreement with Li Mu, mistakenly thought that Li Mu had come to visit again, so he opened the door and shouted:
"Is it over yet?"
After yelling, he saw Lin Wan standing in front of the door with Ruoruo.
After being yelled at by her father, Lin Wan's eyes instantly turned red, and she was about to leave holding Ruoruo's hand.
Lin Xiaocheng hurriedly grabbed his daughter and explained, "I'm not yelling at you, Wanwan. Someone has been harassing me and knocking on my door. I'm tired of it."
After hearing her father's explanation, Lin Wan didn't let her tears fall. She just looked at her father with some grievance and said:
"It's so unsafe to live here, can't you just stay at home?"
Thinking of the situation at Li Mu's home, Father Lin frowned and said, "Your house is so small, how can we live there? Besides, it's not convenient for me to live anywhere."
Knowing that Lin's father was making excuses, Lin Wan didn't say much. She just turned her head away and ignored her father.
Father Lin asked awkwardly, "Xiao Wan, have you thought it through and want to go back with me?"
Lin Wan snorted and said, "It's a rare occasion for you to come here, I want to take you out for a walk."
Knowing his daughter's awkward personality, Father Lin smiled and said, "Okay, okay, wait for Dad, I'll go clean up."
After saying that, Father Lin walked into the bathroom, dressed himself neatly, stood in front of Lin Wan and said:
"How about it, isn't it still very handsome?"
Lin Wan looked at the slightly graying hair on both sides of her father's head and felt a little sad. She hadn't seen her father for a few years and he had aged a lot without her noticing.
With tears in his eyes, he watched Lin Xiaocheng nod, stood up, took his father's hand, and praised, "So handsome."
Hearing his daughter's praise, Lin Xiaocheng was very happy. He squatted down, picked up Ruoruo, and went out.
Lin Wan followed behind her father and looked at the scene of the grandparents and grandchildren. She felt very guilty. She had not contacted her family since she escaped from home.
I don’t know if my mother is in good health, and I don’t know if my brother will blame me if he knows what happened to her.
As she was thinking, Lin Wan had already fallen behind Lin Xiaocheng by several steps.
"What are you doing, Wanwan? Come here quickly." Lin Xiaocheng turned around and shouted at Lin Wan not far away.
Lin Wan put away her originally somewhat sad mood, adjusted herself, and quickly walked forward to hold Lin's father's hand.
Because Mr. Lin felt sorry for his daughter and granddaughter, he bought them a lot of clothes and shoes.
Lin Wan kept refusing, but Lin's father still insisted on his own way and refused to listen to Lin Wan's refusal. Lin Wan saw the watch on her father's wrist.
It had become very worn out, but Lin's father was still reluctant to change it and spent a large sum of money to buy clothes for himself.
He was deeply touched and secretly walked to the watch counter, selected a watch with a relatively high cost performance for Lin Xiaocheng, and secretly hid it among the things he bought.
After the three of them finished shopping, Lin Wan walked in front holding Ruoruo's hand, while Lin Xiaocheng was carrying large and small bags of things in his hands, but he felt very happy in his heart.
As soon as she walked into the house, Lin Wan smelled the fragrance of the food Li Mu had prepared, and suddenly her stomach started to growl with hunger.
I couldn't wait to take Ruoruo in.
Seeing many dishes on the table, but no sign of Li Mu, he thought Li Mu had been waiting for him too long, so he went out and hurriedly shouted:
"Li Mu, where are you?"
Li Mu poked his head out from under the kitchen and replied, "Here, I'm tidying up the stove. Are you guys back? Come and eat."
After saying that, he stood up, brushed off the dust on his hands and body, and brought out the steamed rice.
Lin Xiaocheng, who was originally very happy after shopping with his daughter, suddenly stopped smiling and looked serious when he saw Li Mu.
Lin Wan saw the change in her father's expression and didn't know what to say. She just pulled on the corner of her father's clothes and motioned him to sit down.
Lin Xiaocheng sat down and stared at the prepared meal in front of him. His impression of Li Mu improved a little.
Li Mu looked at the two people who had completely changed their clothes since they left and came back and said:
"It's really beautiful! Dad must have bought it for you. You have a good taste."
Hearing Li Mu's praise, Lin's father snorted and turned his face away without paying any attention.
Lin Wan tried to smooth things over and said, "Of course, my dad has a good eye."
When Lin Xiaocheng heard his daughter's praise, his face was full of smiles.
Seeing Lin Xiaocheng treating him differently, Li Mu thought to himself, "What a double standard!"
Ruoruo was watching them from the side and was so amused that she giggled. Lin Xiaocheng raised his hand and touched his granddaughter's head, smiling lovingly.
Lin Wan could sense her father's different treatment. She picked up a piece of green pepper beef and put it into her father's bowl, and said happily:
"Dad, come and try this, it's Li Mu's specialty."
When Lin Xiaocheng heard Li Mu's name, he looked indifferent. He picked up the dish, put it in his mouth, and savored it carefully.
I thought to myself: "Hmm? I didn't expect Li Mu's cooking skills are really good."
But he still said stubbornly: "It's just so-so. It's not as delicious as my daughter's dish. Your dish is just so-so."
Li Mu nodded, picked up the wine glass on the table, and was about to ask Lin's father if he wanted to drink.
After being glared at by Lin Wan, Li Mu had to put down the wine he had prepared in disappointment.
