Chapter 145 A Difficult Dinner

"Aunt, please eat more. You don't need to be considerate of others in this kind of situation. Adults should talk about adults, and you kids should eat more."

Shi Yunshu picked up a piece of salmon and placed it in the bowl in front of Lin Jin, and carefully told her to eat more.

Seeing that Lin Jin still had no flesh on her face, she put down her chopsticks, touched Lin Jin's head and looked around.

"You're still so thin. Is it because the food at school is not tasty? Can I assign a nutritionist to take care of your three meals a day?"

Lin Jin swallowed the rice and wiped her mouth with a tissue. "No need, sister. The food at school is delicious. It's because of my physique. I didn't gain much weight since I was a child. Sister, you don't have to worry about me."

Looking at the families chatting happily at the dinner table, and then glancing at Chu Mochen who was eating quietly without saying a word, Lin Jin put on gloves, peeled a shrimp and handed it to Shi Yunshu's mouth.

"Sister, you eat too. I noticed that you barely touched your chopsticks tonight. You really don't need to worry about me."

Shi Yunshu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and opened his mouth obediently.

"Thank you, Auntie. I will."

My sister is more caring than I thought. Shi Yunshu feels like her heart is melting.

When he turned around and saw Chu Mochen, who was always quiet beside him, the smile immediately disappeared from his face and he stopped talking.

Shi Yunshu's sudden change of mood made Lin Jin open her mouth slightly.

After class this afternoon, I received a call saying that I would have dinner with my brother-in-law and his family, and they all had to be present in the evening.

Before coming here, I thought that since both families were engaged, they should at least get along harmoniously, but now it seems that my fantasy has been overturned.

At the dinner table, the two families argued with each other and refused to give in, discussing fiercely the post-marriage matters and the greatest interests of both parties.

Lin Jin looked at the two protagonists who were being traded beside her. They were doing their own things and seemed to be used to it.

It is not easy for wealthy families to marry each other.

Suddenly a bowl was placed in front of him, filled with peeled shrimps and crab meat.

Lin Jin's wandering thoughts were immediately brought back to reality.

Lin Yiwen smiled at her and said, "Eat more quickly, it will take a while before we finish."

"Yeah." Lin Jin turned slightly to thank Shi Xu who was taking off his gloves, "Thank you, Dad."

Shi Su wiped his hands with a wet towel and said, "Why thank me? This is what dad should do. If you want to eat anything else, just tell dad. The chefs here are very good."

Lin Jin felt that every dish was so delicious that she wanted to swallow her tongue.

She continued to eat half a bowl of shrimp meat, and seeing that the negotiation was still going on, she sat a little closer to Lin Yiwen.

"Mom, is my sister and brother-in-law really marrying into a wealthy family?"

The last time I met Chu Mochen unexpectedly, although I felt a slight sense of alienation, it was normal considering that it was our first meeting.

But today, it seems that he and his sister are already at the stage of discussing marriage, and he is still the same not only when facing her, but also when facing his uncle and aunt.

Because of her childhood experiences, Lin Jin is very sensitive to the emotional changes around her.

Chu Mochen sat here to cater to everyone, but the sense of alienation on him was there since he entered the door, and he would not say more than five sentences.

The smile on Lin Yiwen's face faded a little, and he wanted his daughter not to take this matter too seriously.

Seeing Lin Jin's inquiring eyes, she couldn't help but reveal a few words.

"Aunt, the marriage between the two families is not simple. There are many twists and turns, and you don't need to know too much for the time being. As the heir of the Shi family, Yunshu has to bear the responsibilities of an heir since childhood."

This includes children and marriage.

In a family like theirs, intermarriage is a common thing.

The person in charge of the family is not a fool. When he reaches a high position, he will consider many factors.

After all, no one wants to see a good industry handed over to others or ruined by unfilial descendants.

But arranged marriage is not easy. If you are lucky, you will meet your ideal partner. If you are unlucky, you will become a couple of resentful lovers, or even just play separate games like many others.

The Shi family had a good tradition and everyone found a spouse they liked.

Just because their generation did not have any scandals does not mean that every generation will be so lucky.

Shi Yunshu is the heir, and this marriage was arranged with the Chu family when she was a child.

At that time, the Chu family and the Shi family were equally powerful. Thinking that the two families were well matched, it would be a good idea for the children to develop feelings for each other during the marriage from an early age.

But who would have thought that the Chu family would rise higher and higher over the years and now has reached a position that everyone needs to look up to.

Later, the Shi family also considered this issue. If one party is very different, the marriage may not last long if they force it to continue.

After careful consideration, the Shi family formally proposed whether they should reconsider the marriage.

Over the years, the two families have watched their two children grow up together. Even if they are reluctant, they might as well take this opportunity to make things clear as soon as possible.

But unexpectedly, the Shi family thought that the Chu family would agree to this suggestion, but it was rejected.

Even the attitude of the person involved, Chu Mochen, is unclear.

The family was naturally very surprised to see this, but after seeing such an attitude, they understood what was going on, and the matter was left unresolved.

is that so?

After understanding the whole story, Lin Jin felt a little complicated.

She had never seen a marriage between wealthy families. Are all marriages between wealthy families like this?

Lin Jin frowned and said nothing. Seeing this, Lin Yiwen thought she was frightened and quickly handed her the freshly squeezed orange juice.

"Don't think too much, Auntie. Mom and Dad will respect all your opinions. You will inherit everything from the Lin family in the future. You can get married if you want. If you don't want to settle it, we won't rush you."

Lin Jin's brows relaxed, and she quickly took the juice and said, "I am indeed surprised."

After taking a sip of juice, I glanced at Chu Mochen opposite me and saw that he was still the same.

She just ate by herself when there was no need for him to talk, and didn't say a word to her sister.

Suddenly, the cell phone next to him rang. Chu Mochen put down his chopsticks and picked up the phone to check the message.

I don’t know who sent the message, but Lin Jin saw the coldness in Chu Mochen’s eyes melt away, and in the blink of an eye his whole temperament changed drastically.

Lin Jin felt strange again and accidentally met the gaze of the person opposite her. She calmly lowered her head and ate her meal.

Shi Yunshu heard the voice and asked casually: "What's wrong? Is it about your work?"

Chu Mochen turned his eyes away from Lin Jin, the smile in his eyes disappeared, he closed his phone and said, "Nothing, the company has a document to sign."

He stood up with his coat in hand and said to the two parents who were discussing, "Eat slowly. I have to leave first because of an emergency at the company. Uncle and aunt, I'm leaving now."

Shi Heng nodded: "Okay, you can go first if you have something to do!"

Xi Yuwan glanced at Shi Yunshu.

Shi Yunshu also put down his chopsticks and stood up, "I'll take you down."

"No, you continue to eat with your family, I will go by myself."

Chu Mochen politely declined Shi Yunshu's offer and left the table with his phone.

After he left, Yun Shu was no longer in the mood to eat. She put down her chopsticks with visible disappointment on her face.

Lin Jin took a sip of water and put down her chopsticks. She said to her parents that she was going to the bathroom, then trotted out of the private room.
