"I didn't do anything. They were nice to me. Should I be mean to them?" Shen Hongmei said in a low voice, trying her best not to let Yan Zhenhua hear.

Yan Shuhua asked Old Tang to stay for lunch, but Old Tang was embarrassed: "That's your dad, right? Oh, it seems I came at the wrong time. I thought I would only have time to visit you during the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect your dad to come too. This is indeed a bit... embarrassing."

"How can I be embarrassed? Uncle Tang, you still care about us." Yan Shuhua was really enthusiastic towards Old Tang. Although he didn't come into contact with Old Tang often, after one or two contacts, Old Tang's particularly close look made people feel that he was very reliable.

"I'd better leave first." Old Tang thought it was still in time to leave now and it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

Yan Shuhua did not let him go, but kept trying to keep him: "Uncle Tang, don't care about him. My mother was just deceived by his words for a while. In fact, my mother still has some feelings for you."

Old Tang was of course happy to hear these words, but the problem was that the person standing in front of him was Shen Hongmei's husband. After thinking about it, he decided not to continue: "But after all, your father is here. Forget it, I'd better go back first."

"He's already married in Beijing, and he doesn't have a marriage certificate with my mother, nothing, how can we say they're related?" Yan Shuhua's words made Old Tang determined. It seemed that Yan Shuhua was very satisfied with his relationship with Shen Hongmei. In that case, why didn't he give it a try? Anyway... Shen Hongmei is single now, especially since Yan Zhenhua abandoned her! Thinking of this, all the awkward expressions on Old Tang's face disappeared, replaced by an extremely serious and earnest face. It seemed that if he tried hard, he still had a chance to win Shen Hongmei's heart.

Yan Zhenhua looked at this love rival as if he was a thorn in his eye. This man was inferior to him in every way. How could Shen Hongmei fall for him? He really couldn't figure it out! Especially Yan Shuhua's attitude towards him, which made people feel particularly unhappy.

At lunch, there was indeed an extra person, Old Tang, which made Shen Hongmei a little embarrassed. She didn't know what to say and could only look at him face to face.

It was the first time that Xiao Jinchu saw Old Tang. He thought that although he was not very good-looking and not as handsome as Yan Zhenhua, his face that was always smiling made people feel particularly close to him. The first time Xiao Jinchu met him, he felt that he was more easy-going than when he was with Yan Zhenhua.

Both grown men wanted to pick up food for Shen Hongmei, and she really didn't know whose to accept. If she took her husband's, she would be unfair to Lao Tang, but if she took Lao Tang's, she would also be unfair to her husband. So she simply took both.

Yan Shuhua took the initiative to invite Old Tang to stay overnight, hoping that Yan Zhenhua would be sensible and leave quickly: "Uncle Tang has come here with great difficulty, why don't you stay at home tonight."

"But is there any extra room at home..." Shen Hongmei was even more embarrassed. Old Tang was sensible and quickly said, "It's okay, I'll go back as soon as I finish this meal. I still have work to do at home."

Shen Hongmei was unhappy about having to chase him away, but Yan Zhenhua was a little satisfied. For the first time, Yan Zhenhua looked at Old Tang and asked, "From what I see, you look like a butcher, right?"

Old Tang admitted openly: "I didn't expect you to be so accurate. Yes, I am just a butcher. I don't have any other skills. I can only butcher pigs."

Hearing the other party honestly admit that he was a pig butcher, Yan Zhenhua couldn't help but look down on him.

Yan Zhenhua is a leader after all, and so many people are chasing after him, and he is just a butcher, so how could Shen Hongmei be with him? It goes without saying that she is a smart person and will not choose him.

Thinking of his own identity and status, Yan Zhenhua straightened his back even more. However, Old Tang opposite him did not look down on him at all. He also earned money through his own labor. What qualifications did he, Yan Zhenhua, have to look down on him?

It was supposed to be a good dinner, but it turned into a fight.

After the meal, Shen Hongmei collected the dishes and went to wash them. Yan Shuhua followed her and pulled her to a corner where no one was. After all, Yan Shuhua saw everything that happened at the dinner table clearly.

"Mom, what are you thinking? Are you really in love with him? But if you ask him to divorce Liu Cuiman and marry you, will he agree? This kind of man has never thought about being responsible for you, why do you still miss him?"

Yan Shuhua's words were like a hammer, waking up Shen Hongmei from her dream. She had always been fantasizing that one day she could really be with Yan Zhenhua.

"It's not that Mom misses him all the time, but he always brings up the days when we were together. I feel really emotional when I think about those days. Plus, he keeps admitting his mistakes to me, saying that he was wrong before."

Shen Hongmei knew that her daughter didn't like her husband, but no matter what, he was Yan Shuhua's biological father. Could it be that they were just going to break up like this? Yan Zhenhua was a leader, so wasn't it a good thing for him to put down his status and come to her house?

But Yan Shuhua didn't think so, and he immediately expressed all the resentment in his heart.

"Can all the wrong things he has done be wiped out by just saying that he did something wrong? Think about it, he has been doing this for twenty years. Now he wants to pursue you again just by saying something, right?" Yan Shuhua's eyes were full of dissatisfaction with Shen Hongmei. He felt that his mother was really soft-hearted.

Uncle Tang is such a good man in front of her, but she chose Yan Zhenhua! Shen Hongmei kept repeating one sentence: "Your father is not a bad person."
