"I haven't eaten yet," Tong Shujia said.
Fu Yi immediately smiled and said generously, "Then let's go, I'll take you to the best restaurant to eat the most delicious food!"
Lin Xiaoyi coughed lightly, "Mom, who is this uncle?"
He pretended to be ignorant and clueless, but in fact he knew everything. Just by looking at that face, if this person wasn't his biological father, then who was?
Tong Shujia was relieved to see that her son didn't suspect anything, because she didn't want to explain those messy things to her son and ruin the perfect image of her mother in his heart.
"He's your Uncle Fu, you can just call him Uncle!"
"Hello, Uncle Fu!" Lin Xiaoyi said obediently.
Fu Yi smiled happily, "Your son is so handsome! Let's go eat first! Then I'll take you shopping!"
I just received some funding, which is perfect for treating them to a nice meal.
Tong Shujia felt that the man who had once lived off a woman had become rich and much more carefree. Although she was still angry, she wanted to know more about whether he had been single all these years.
In addition, he has a son, so he should be able to get some money from him!
Soon they arrived at the most luxurious state-run restaurant in the county. Fu Yi asked for a private room and ordered all the restaurant's signature dishes.
Seeing the generous man, Tong Shujia was in an extremely good mood.
Although Lin Xiaoyi loves to spend money on good food when he's out, he rarely eats so extravagantly.
He buried his head in his food and devoured the braised prawns, braised pork ribs, and braised pork knuckle on the table.
Fu Yi drank a glass of wine, then said to Tong Shujia, "I've missed you all these years. I never expected we'd meet under these circumstances. I know you still blame me for leaving without saying goodbye back then!"
Tong Shujia sighed dramatically, "It's all in the past, why say so much?"
Hearing their conversation, Lin Xiaoyi became even more certain of everything. He thought to himself that his mother was indeed amazing. Not only did she have his father as a backer, but she also found him such a wealthy biological father.
Wouldn't my life be wonderful from then on?

On the train.
Cai Wei opened the lunchbox and saw that the dumplings were all the same size and wrapped very neatly. When she picked one up with chopsticks, it looked like a gold ingot.
"So exquisite, I can't bear to eat it!"
Gu Dongsheng said, "It will spoil if we don't eat it. Let's eat it quickly and also try our daughter-in-law's cooking."
Cai Wei took a small bite of the dumpling. Although it wasn't freshly cooked, it tasted very fresh and delicious, especially the meat, which was very smooth. She ate several in a row, unable to stop eating.
Gu Dongsheng said, "Our son is blessed to have such a skillful wife."
Cai Wei coughed lightly, thinking about her cooking skills. "I really don't have much talent for cooking, but I'm lucky to have a son who can cook so well and will be able to make money in the future. I can laugh in my dreams!"
Li Xuehua was very pleased to see that her daughter-in-law had truly accepted Lu Zhixia. She also liked the dumplings, but being older, she couldn't eat too many and only ate five before pushing the lunchbox towards them.
"You guys eat, I can't eat too much, or I'll get indigestion!"
Cai Wei quickly moved the lunchbox to her face and gave the man a meaningful look, signaling him not to bother with the dumplings.
"Mom, I'm not going to be polite with you today. These dumplings are so delicious! I can't even imagine how fresh they would taste if they were just cooked!"
This was the first time Gu Dongsheng had ever discovered that his wife was possessive of her food. He picked up a piece of pork rib with his chopsticks, and it tasted just as good, with no gamey smell at all.
"These bones are delicious too."
"Really?" Cai Wei quickly picked up a piece of pork rib with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The moment she did, she felt that her life had been worthwhile. She couldn't help but exclaim, "No wonder our daughter-in-law wants to open a restaurant. With this skill, it would be a waste if she didn't open a restaurant!"
Li Xuehua said, "I think running a restaurant is quite tiring; you have to manage all sorts of messy things."
Cai Wei suddenly had an idea: to come back and help her daughter-in-law so she could eat well every day. But then she thought again that she could take a leave of absence from her job.
Looking at Gu Dongsheng beside her, she realized for the first time that men are troublesome creatures; no matter where they go, she still has to worry about them.
Gu Dongsheng sensed his wife's resentment and quickly pushed the lunchbox towards her, saying, "You eat it, you can have it all!"
Cai Wei laughed. The man's actions were hilarious. Her previous thought was just that—a thought—and there was nothing to dwell on. So she said,
"That's more like it!"
