Lin Yan naturally had no way to answer Lu Jinghuai's question. She had already taken her eyes off the basketball and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.
What I see in this direction is not my own yard, but another yard.
That yard seemed to be smaller than Grandma Lu's yard. In addition to fruit trees, there was also a vegetable patch in the yard, which was full of life.
Lin Yan was about to look away but suddenly stopped when she saw a familiar figure.
Song Jingya?
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment. She didn't know when Lu Jinghuai was standing behind Lin Yan. He also saw Song Jingya on the other side.
Lu Jinghuai's brows were furrowed. He didn't expect Song Jingya to appear in Huaicheng, but he still explained to Lin Yan.
"That's Song Jingya's maternal family. Her mother and my mother grew up together."
Lin Lu Jinghuai had said this at the beginning, and Lin Yan also remembered it, but Song Jingya's sudden appearance made her unable to react for a while.
[I didn't expect the plot to be so messed up. Song Jingya can appear in front of Lu Jinghuai in various ways. Now this is... Will the plot be fixed? ]
Lu Jinghuai paused, lowered his eyes and looked at Lin Yan who was standing in front of him with her back to him, without saying a word.
Lin Yan also seemed to be lost in thought.
What's the plot after this? It's all because that book was so melodramatic and watery, I can't even remember the plot right now.
Lin Yan sighed helplessly, but Lu Jinghuai's brows relaxed a little. He didn't like the plot that Lin Yan talked about. He, Lu Jinghuai, was a living person, not a puppet being controlled.
The couple had their own thoughts in their minds, but Song Jingya seemed to have noticed their gazes and looked over.
Lin Yan's gaze met Song Jingya's directly, and Song Jingya's gloomy eyes turned into a smile.
However, that smile made Lin Yan feel inexplicably uncomfortable. Lin Yan frowned and pulled the curtains directly.
She and Song Jingya had basically revealed their conflict in Xiaoliang Village, so she no longer had to pretend to be friendly with Song Jingya.
Lin Yan curled her lips, turned around and saw Lu Jinghuai behind her, and felt inexplicably angry.
It's all Lu Jinghuai's fault for finding me such a persistent rival in love. Looking at the look in Song Jingya's eyes just now, I'm sure she wants to kill me. Regardless of how many hidden secrets there are in the original plot, Song Jingya is always the heroine. I don't know how much trouble there will be in the future. It seems I agreed to Lu Jinghuai too easily.
Lu Jinghuai, who was successfully angered, was silent for a few moments, but did not dare to argue and could only change the subject helplessly.
"There's nothing to eat at home. After I clean up, I'll take you and Qianqian out for dinner. There's a restaurant nearby that my mother used to love. I wonder if it's still there."
There was a hint of nostalgia in Lu Jinghuai's tone.
Lin Yan paused, looking at Lu Jinghuai who looked calm in front of her, and her anger inexplicably dissipated a little. She nodded, curled her lips and said "hmm".
The two left the room and called Lu Yingqian to come downstairs. It was now past eleven o'clock and time to go out for dinner.
However, before they could leave the house, there was a knock on the gate of the yard.
"Brother Jinghuai, Brother Jinghuai, are you home?"
"Who is it?" Lin Yan was stunned for a moment and looked at Lu Jinghuai beside her. Lu Jinghuai frowned but shook his head.
Lu Jinghuai went over and opened the gate. The person knocking on the door was a young boy, about eighteen or nineteen years old, who had just started college and still had a bit of childishness on his face.
The courtyard door was opened. He paused knocking on the door, but his eyes lit up instantly when he saw Lu Jinghuai.
"Brother Lu, my grandparents know you're back and they said you don't have anything to eat here so they asked you to come to my house for dinner."
After the boy finished speaking, he met Lin Yan's gaze behind Lu Jinghuai, smiled, called out "Sister-in-law", and pointed in the direction of his own home. That was the yard where Lin Yan had just seen Song Jingya.
"My home is not far away, right there. My grandma asked my sister-in-law and the Song family's sister to go there."
The boy in front of her should be the younger generation from Song Jingya’s grandmother’s family.
Lin Yan looked at Lu Jinghuai beside her and raised her eyebrows, as if asking Lu Jinghuai if he wanted to go over.
No matter how many dirty things the two families do in private, their relationship is good on the surface. The Song family and the Lu family are old friends, and Song Jingya's grandmother and Lu Jinghuai's grandmother have been neighbors for many years.
Lu Jinghuai's expression remained unchanged, but he politely declined: "We came back suddenly and didn't prepare anything. I guess Grandma Lin hasn't prepared any food for us since we came so suddenly, so I won't bother you."
The boy at the door didn't seem to expect to be rejected. He frowned and was about to say something when Lu Jinghuai interrupted him again.
"Is that Zhengji Restaurant at the entrance of East Alley still there? My mother used to like the food there. I happened to be bringing my wife and sister back today, and I wanted to take them to try the flavors my mother used to like."
The boy was still a little young and didn't realize that his question had been led astray. Instead, he answered Lu Jinghuai's questions seriously.
"That restaurant is still there, but the previous owner is old, so he passed the business to his son. Now his son is the owner and chef. The taste has changed a bit, but it's still quite delicious."
Lu Jinghuai nodded to himself: "Okay, I'll go over and try it later."
Then Lu Jinghuai looked at the boy in front of him and said, "Sorry for the hassle. It's getting late now. You should go back and have lunch. Our family is getting ready to go out."
The boy was stunned for a moment, nodded subconsciously and turned to leave, but he felt something was wrong when he left.
It was not until they returned to the Lin family's yard that Grandma Lin saw her grandson coming back alone, frowned and asked directly.
"Didn't I ask you to invite Jing Huai over for dinner? Why did you come back alone?"
The boy suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead, his face falling, but he still started to explain.
"Grandma, Jing Huai said they came back in a hurry and didn't want to disturb us. He said he wanted to take his sister-in-law and Song's sister to Zhengji for dinner."
When the Lin family's grandmother heard this, she felt helpless and glared at her grandson. "Yaya is back today. We have already prepared a lot of food. Let Jing Huai bring his wife and sister to have a meal. What's the matter with disturbing them or adding three pairs of chopsticks?"
"You can't even handle such a small matter. Forget it, I'll go there." Grandma Lin glared at her grandson and prepared to take off her apron and go next door.
The boy also reacted and said quickly: "Grandma, don't go. Brother Jing Huai has already left with his sister-in-law and the Song family's sister."
Grandma Lin paused and sighed, "That child, it's rare for her to come back. There's no one at home, it's so cold and lonely. Ah Yun is such a good girl..."
Grandma Lin shook her head and turned to go into the house helplessly, but she just happened to see Song Jingya at the door.
