Chapter 107 Birthday Banquet



Lu Jinghuai was driving. When he heard Lin Yan's question, he answered without thinking much.

Lin Yan paused and asked, "You haven't eaten yet?

Lu Jinghuai said "hmm", which was obviously a casual word, but Lin Yan inexplicably heard a sense of grievance in it.

Lin Yan was silent for a moment, but couldn't help but complain in her heart.

[Why is Lu Jinghuai still pretending to be wronged? His character has completely collapsed.]

Lu Jinghuai raised his eyebrows. What kind of personality does he have?

"Qianqian and I are full." Lin Yan answered honestly.

Lu Jinghuai hummed again, this time seeming a little depressed, and other than that Lu Jinghuai didn't say anything else.

Lin Yan felt a little helpless: "The chef at home is off work at this time. How about we find a place for me to have a midnight snack with you?"

[According to the tropes of domineering CEO novels, all domineering CEOs have stomach problems. I don't know if Lu Jinghuai has stomach problems. If he does, I'll still need to take care of him if his stomach problems flare up later tonight.]

Lu Jinghuai paused for a moment after listening to Lin Yan's complaints. He really didn't have any stomach problems, but he was indeed hungry.

Without waiting for Lu Jinghuai to respond, Lin Yan took out her cell phone and searched.

"There's a seafood casserole porridge place a little further ahead. How about going there for some?"

Lin Yan glanced sideways at the man in the driver's seat and waited for his answer.

"Yeah, okay."

This time there was one more word, but the tone was obviously relaxed. Lin Yan understood what Lu Jinghuai meant in an instant.

"Then I'll give you the directions, and you follow them."

Lin Yan directly turned on the speakerphone on her phone, started the navigation voice to come out of the phone, and directly guided the road conditions.

It took about twenty minutes to get to the seafood porridge shop that Lin Yan mentioned. It wasn’t big, but it looked quite clean.

There is no fixed parking lot here, so the car is parked on the side of the road.

Lin Yan got out of the car and turned to call Lu Yingqian. The little girl stuck her head out and said, "Let's discuss it."

"Sister-in-law, I'm full just now. Why don't I wait for you and my brother in the car instead of getting off."

The main reason is that her brother and sister-in-law have such a good relationship. They can have supper together and enjoy their own world. Wasn’t she just a third wheel in the past?

Lin Yan thought about it and realized that there was indeed a lot of food at the table just now. She probably didn’t eat much when she was with Lu Jinghuai.

"Okay, call me if you need anything."

Lu Yingqian nodded and retracted her head, while Lin Yan followed Lu Jinghuai into the store.

Lin Yan had just finished her meal and was indeed not hungry, but she couldn't just talk about accompanying Lu Jinghuai for a midnight snack.

The two ordered a bowl of seafood porridge and a few side dishes.

Lin Yan also served herself a bowl of porridge out of courtesy, but put it down after taking a few bites.

Lu Jinghuai also knew that Lin Yan had just finished dinner and did not force her to continue eating. Instead, he lowered his eyes and drank the porridge. He did not have stomach problems, but eating so late made his stomach uncomfortable.

After finishing half a pot of porridge, Lu Jinghuai's stomach felt better. He remembered something and looked up at Lin Yan to remind her.

"Your mother's fiftieth birthday is next month at the Lin family, and you should go back then."

"If you need to prepare anything, you can tell Uncle Chen in advance."

Lu Jinghuai also knew that Lin Yan did not have a deep relationship with the Lin family, but Lin's mother was Lin Yan's biological mother after all, so he had to save face.

Lin Yan paused. Neither she nor the original owner had much contact with Lin's mother, so she really didn't know when Lin's mother's birthday was.

As for preparation, she really didn't know what to prepare. She also didn't know how to hold a birthday party for a wealthy family. After thinking about it, she said directly.

"Just let Uncle Chen watch over the preparations."

[I don't have any intention of having a deep mother-daughter relationship with Lin's mother. Lin's mother doesn't need me as a daughter either. When we meet, don't argue. Just keep a face for each other.]

Lu Jinghuai paused for a moment and understood Lin Yan's idea. After thinking for a while, he continued, "Then let Uncle Lin prepare."

After talking about Lin's mother's birthday party, Lin Yan couldn't help but think of Lu Yingqian's birthday party.

Originally, when Lu Yingqian came back, the Lu family should have held a banquet for her, at least to let the people in H City know that the young lady of the Lu family was found.

But Lu Yingqian had just returned, and she was scared when she heard that a banquet was needed. She only had memories of Xiaoliang Village, and had no idea how the banquet should be held or what needed to be done.

Lu Yingqian was afraid of making mistakes and bringing shame to her brother and sister-in-law. Even though Lin Yan said that the Lu family didn't care about those things, Lu Yingqian disagreed.

Finally, looking at the little girl's pale face due to fear, he softened his heart. If Lu Yingqian made a fool of herself at the banquet after just returning, Lu Jinghuai would definitely not care, but the little girl would probably have a psychological trauma.

In the end, Lin Yan and Lu Jinghuai discussed and decided to find a teacher to learn some etiquette and posture on weekends, and Lin Yan could also attend the class.

As for the originally scheduled banquet, it was postponed to Lu Yingqian's birthday, which was exactly half a month after Lin's mother's birthday banquet.

"Qianqian's birthday is coming soon. Should we ask Uncle Chen to prepare the banquet arrangements as well?"

Usually, such things are prepared by the hostess of the family, but Lin Yan had just been taken back to the Lin family due to a mistaken pregnancy, and she knew nothing about the arrangements for banquets and the distribution of invitations for these wealthy families.

Lu Jinghuai thought for a moment and said "hmm", then said: "If you are interested, you can ask Uncle Lin to teach you. If not, forget it."

"Not interested."

【Who would be interested in finding something to do for themselves? 】

Lin Yan answered decisively, and Lu Jinghuai didn't say much. The Lu family had enough money to hire a housekeeper, so there was no need for the lady to arrange these things.

Lu Jinghuai ate another small bowl of porridge before the two of them left.

The following days were so peaceful that Lin Yan felt it was unbelievable, and Song Jingya did not appear in front of Lin Yan.

Lin Yan went to and from get off work on time every day. Because of what happened that night, Lu Jinghuai seemed to have opened a seal and no longer pretended to be Liu Xiahui.

However, Lu Jinghuai is too energetic. If Lin Yan lets Lu Jinghuai do whatever he wants, she probably won't have to go out every day and can just lie in bed.

In the end, the two of them made three rules: Lu Jinghuai could only take action on Fridays and Saturdays when Lin Yan didn't need Song Jingya to go out.

Although Lu Jinghuai disagreed, he had no choice but to compromise in the face of Lin Yan's insistence.

In the blink of an eye, it was Lin's mother's 50th birthday. Just a week ago, Lin's father sent a message to Lin Yan asking her to bring Lu Jinghuai back with her that day. If the two had any conflicts, they should communicate in advance, and Lu Jinghuai must not be absent that day.

The key point is to take Lu Jinghuai back. Lin Yan sneered. Father Lin is really something. He doesn't even pretend. But it's normal that they don't have much feelings for each other.

Lin Yan directly showed Lu Jinghuai the message sent by Lin's father. Lu Jinghuai took a look and paused.

"I should go there that day too."

If Lu Jinghuai didn't attend Lin's mother's birthday, it would be embarrassing not only for the Lin family but also for Lin Yan. Lu Jinghuai would not deny Lin Yan this face.
