Although Zhao Xihua did not do anything to directly harm her, the original owner was so miserable, and he could not escape responsibility. However, he could live a happy life with Lin Nuo with a clear conscience.
If he hadn't visited Lin Rui after he went to jail, Lin Xiaoxiao would have persuaded Lin Rui to break up with him, let alone let him eat here.
"Xiaoxiao..." Lin Nuo pretended to be angry, "How can you talk like that?"
Lin Xiaoxiao didn't even bother to look at her and took the little baby back to the main room.
"Forget it, let her be."
Zhao Xihua no longer wanted to say anything to Lin Xiaoxiao. In his opinion, Lin Xiaoxiao was beyond redemption.
Lin Nuo pretended to be casual and said, "Xiaoxiao wasn't like this before. After getting to know the boss in the city..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly pursed her lips, looking as if she had said something wrong.
She thought Zhao Xihua would ask more questions, but what made Lin Nuo curious was that Zhao Xihua didn't look surprised at all. She asked tentatively, "Brother Xihua, do you know something?"
"Yeah." Zhao Xihua thought Lin Nuo meant that Lin Xiaoxiao had met a boss in the city and that her family had made money, so she had changed. So he nodded, "Lin Rui told me that the boss in the city was doing business with their family."
Knowing that Lin Rui didn't understand what she meant, Lin Nuo didn't know what to say, otherwise it would seem a bit deliberate. She changed the subject, "Let's wash our hands and go in to eat!"
When the two of them washed their hands and entered the house, Lin Xiaoxiao had already placed the chopsticks and bowls, and she and Naibao squeezed in and sat in the same direction.
Lin Rui fried three dishes and made an egg soup. Together with the snails fried by Lin Feng, it made exactly five dishes and one soup. Since the family's conditions improved, the Lin family has always eaten better.
Therefore, these dishes were not surprising. Zhao Xihua's family was well off, so he did not think these dishes were luxurious.
But in Lin Nuo's eyes, these were no different from delicacies from land and sea. There were many people in her family, and occasionally they would buy some meat, but before she could even take two bites, it would be snatched away by Lin Dacheng and Lin Xiaocheng.
My family couldn’t bear to cook so many delicious dishes at once. Just looking at the oil in the dishes makes one’s appetite whetted.
Although his heart was already in turmoil, Lin Nuo still showed a very normal expression.
After everyone sat down and started eating, Lin Xiaoxiao took two empty bowls, picked up some dishes for Naibao and herself, left the table, and went back to the house to eat. Seeing this, Lin Nuo showed no intention of following her.
This is Lin Xiaoxiao's home, so she is also a guest and doesn't need to leave the table.
When Zhao Xihua saw Lin Xiaoxiao leave, he suddenly felt a sense of disappointment in his heart, but it was undeniable that this was the first time that Lin Xiaoxiao did something that made him feel pleasing.
"Xihua, drink."
Lin Rui poured a small bowl of white wine for Zhao Xihua and poured some for himself. When he went to pour some for Lin Feng, Lin Feng refused.
"You two drink."
There are only two men in the house, him and Lin Rui, and an outsider, Zhao Xihua. It would not be good if they all got drunk, after all, Xiaoxiao is a grown girl.
Lin Rui persuaded, "Brother, you should drink something too! Today is a rare opportunity."
This was the first time he sat together with Zhao Xihua and drank like this, and also the first time he sat together with his elder brother and drank like this, something he had never dared to imagine in the past.
