When Lin Xiazhu and Bai Ruan came out dressed, Lin Xiaoxue realized what had happened. However, she didn't lose her composure like Lin Taozi. She was overjoyed. She had finally waited for this day. Bai Ruan was definitely her brother-in-law.
"Big sister, big brother-in-law, come and have breakfast. I just went out to buy it." Lin Xiaoxue can also cook. Back in her hometown, Lin Xiazhu didn't spoil her and made her learn to do all the housework.
Before, she had no choice but to avoid it. After coming to the capital, she tried to be as lazy as possible. It wasn't that she hated cooking, but that doing housework made her hands rough, and she needed to take care of them. Other young girls had delicate, fair, and tender hands, and she didn't want to fall behind.
When she first entered Yenching University, the school was selecting campus beauties and department beauties. Although her appearance was not quite stunning, she was still more than qualified to be the department beauties. However, there was a rich girl in the department whose appearance was slightly inferior to hers, but she rejected her because her hands were too rough.
Because she was helping out at the coffee shop during that time, she had to do everything, so her hands were a bit rougher than others'. But she thought she had taken good care of them. However, people still used it as a handle to make fun of her and as gossip. They even took away the title of the most beautiful girl in the department that she almost got. She has always remembered this.
After that, she became obsessed with hand care. Unless her older sister forced her to, she would never touch a chore again. To hell with cooking, cleaning, and other such chores, she would never do them.
Since Lin Xiaoxue and Lin Taozi had to go back to school later, Lin Xiazhu didn't care about breakfast. To be honest, she was quite busy and short on time, and didn't want to waste time on cooking.
Lin Xiaoxue has been increasingly reluctant to do housework for a long time, but I just didn't say anything. I used to force her to do it because I was afraid she would go astray and not know anything in the future. Now that she has learned it, she doesn't have to do it every day. It's enough to learn a skill. There's no loss if you don't need it. If you do need it, you should be glad you learned it.
Breakfast was quite plentiful: four baskets of xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), two baskets of crystal dumplings, eight meat buns, two servings of beef and vegetable noodles, and four large cups of soy milk...
Lin Xiaoxue wouldn't normally buy this much. She's prone to weight gain, and eating more meat makes her gain weight noticeably. Fortunately, she doesn't have a big appetite, so she can easily control her diet and maintain a slim figure.
However, her older sister has a good appetite. She can finish all the soup in two servings of beef noodles and still eat a basket of xiaolongbao. Bai Ru'an is a man, and he also has a good appetite. He needs to eat two baskets of xiaolongbao and two large meat buns to feel full.
After breakfast, Lin Xiaoxue and Lin Taozi went back to school, while Bai Ruan and Lin Xiazhu stayed at home and didn't go out. They both took leave from their companies at the last minute. They had just gotten their marriage certificate yesterday, and the two decided to give themselves a three-day wedding leave.
That's why being a boss is great; you have the right to be capricious.
In the early morning, Bai Ruan received a call from Bai Junbo, asking him to bring Lin Xiazhu home for lunch, as Bai Zhengping had accepted her as his granddaughter-in-law.
After discussing it for a while, the two decided to go back. This time, they didn't plan to take Lin Xiaoxue and Lin Taozi back with them, just in case someone caused trouble again.
This time, Lin Xiazhu decided not to give the other party any face. If anyone really caused her trouble, she would show them what it meant to flatten someone with one punch.
Bai Ru'an was thinking that if anything unpleasant happened again, his sisters-in-law wouldn't be upset or hurt by not being there, and he could also take this opportunity to let those people know how important Xiao Zhu was to him. If they dared to hurt Xiao Zhu, they would have to ask him first.
The two returned to the Bai family with the mindset of going to war, but to their surprise, Bai Zhengping came out to greet them personally, and his attitude was unusually kind and gentle. Although it was a bit fake, it was already an exception for him to do so.
Lin Xiazhu felt relieved. There was no need for verbal battles; a sarcastic banter was best. As long as others gave her face, she would give them face in return.
“Your aunt didn’t handle things well last time. As an elder, she spoke inappropriately, actually arguing with a young girl… She has already reflected on her actions and knows she was wrong.” Bai Zhengping finished speaking with a smile and then gave his youngest daughter a look.
Although Bai Xinyu was very unwilling, her father had warned her beforehand and said some harsh words, so she could only lower her posture and apologize, "Miss Lin, oh no, niece-in-law, I shouldn't have targeted your sister that day, and I shouldn't have spoken ill of you behind your back. It was my fault. Please don't take it to heart and forgive me for this one time."
As she spoke, her hand, hanging by her side, clenched into a fist, her resentment growing stronger. She vowed to get revenge for the humiliation and disgrace she had suffered today.
Although the other party appeared humble and sincere, Lin Xiazhu could sense a hint of resentment and unwillingness in Bai Xinyu's eyes, indicating that this feud was likely to escalate significantly.
However, she's not completely incapable of acting. Now that she's married to Xiao An, she'll probably be acting in quite a few dramas in the future. Maintaining a facade of peace is the most important thing, and she can do that.
Lin Xiazhu smiled slightly, "It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up. We're all family, there's no need to take it too seriously. Xiaoxue was also wrong that day, she was too impulsive. Let's not bring this up again in the future, so as not to hurt the harmony among relatives."
After exchanging a few more polite words, it seemed as if they had truly let bygones be bygones. Everyone laughed insincerely, and then they sat down at the table to begin their meal.
Bai Xinru and Bai Xinyu had no appetite. They only ate a few symbolic bites before saying they were full and quickly left the table to go to the living room to eat fruit and chat.
Bai Zhengping didn't force them to stay for the rest of the meal. He let them be, and it was better for them to stay away so they wouldn't say anything stupid that would upset his troublesome grandson.
"This steamed sea bass is very fresh, you should eat more," Bai Ru'an said, knowing that Lin Xiazhu liked it, since no one else had touched the fish. "This soup is also quite good, you should drink more."
Lin Xiazhu never pretended to be refined or concealed her large appetite when she came to the Bai family before; she always ate to her heart's content, and the Bai family all knew that she had a good appetite.
Knowing this is one thing, but every time I see her finish plate after plate of food, I can't help but gasp in amazement. If her family were poor, eating like this would only make them poorer. Luckily, the Bai family is well-off, so no matter how much she eats, she won't go broke.
"Even a pig can eat more than her, why doesn't she just eat herself to death?" Bai Xinru was in the living room, but her attention was entirely on Lin Xiazhu. The side hall of the restaurant was open-plan, so the living room could see the scene in the side hall clearly.
"Be careful, don't let Dad hear you, or he'll scold you again." Bai Xinyu lowered her eyes and spoke softly. She was really out of her mind that day, and was actually provoked by a little girl, and even started fighting with her without caring about her image.
She regrets it now, it's so embarrassing. She's embarrassed herself more than she ever has in her entire life. It completely ruined the gentle and elegant image she's maintained for so many years. Just thinking about it makes her heart ache.
"Do you think Dad is really getting senile? How can he be so protective of a country girl? His favoritism is outrageous." Bai Xinru was indignant.
“Dad favors Mingxuan and protects him. He’s his only grandson now,” Bai Xinyu said helplessly.
"Isn't our son his grandson?" What does "only one" mean?
“Our sons are all his grandsons, how can they be as precious as the grandsons in the family?” Bai Xinyu laughed at her for not seeing through her.
