Chapter 35 Love Moon 035 There is a warm sutra...
Without waiting for the host to speak, Xiao Zhiyan opened the door and left.
"Tsk!" Mother Qin pointed in the direction of the door, her hands shaking with anger, "Look at you all, is he giving me the cold shoulder? Chu Yue, where did you find your partner?"
Qin Tai immediately said, "Okay, Mom, just be quiet. You can talk about this meal later. Is it wrong for Zhiyan to love his wife?"
He put the connected video call in front of her and said, "Look at your favorite grandson. Stop being so sulky."
“Happy birthday, grandma!”
As soon as Qin Yangyi's voice came out, the harshness on Qin's mother's face disappeared. She took the phone with a smile on her face and talked, leaving Qin Tai and his wife looking at each other helplessly. Dai Wenchun winked at He Chuyue, signaling her not to take it seriously.
He Chuyue smiled, drank a sip of the pork rib soup Xiao Zhiyan prepared, and frowned.
Very fishy.
"Your sister, she's eating meat and drinking soup." Mother Qin looked impatient, "She said she was going to eat at some big restaurant. I think the young people just wanted to eat good food, so they used my birthday as an excuse. Xiaoyang, you can't be like this when you grow up, understand?"
Qin Yangyi's voice was kind: "Grandma, I'm a freshman now. I've found a part-time job and my boss is very nice to me. I'll bring you some southern specialties when I go back during the winter vacation. I'm sure you'll like them!"
"Oh, my eldest grandson is so great! He can go out and earn money by himself? But your main task now is to study hard, graduate successfully, and then find a wife. Don't worry about making money, your sister will make money, just go to school with peace of mind, do you hear me?"
Qin Yang agreed halfheartedly, greeted Qin Tai and his wife, and finally met He Chuyue.
The boy on the screen looks somewhat like He Chuyue in his eyes and eyebrows, and his smile is sunny and energetic.
"Sister, you've worked hard. Where's my brother-in-law?"
As soon as he learned that He Chuyue had obtained the marriage certificate, Qin Yangyi immediately sent his blessings and transferred 999 yuan to her, saying that it was earned from his part-time job. It was not appropriate for the two of them to chat in front of Qin's mother, so He Chuyue said briefly: "He went to the bathroom."
"When I get home I'll give it to you—"
"Alright, alright." Mother Qin reached for her phone. "Don't disturb my grandson's sleep so late. Xiaoyang, study hard, sleep well, and don't stay up late. Don't spoil yourself if you want to eat something. If you don't have enough money, ask your sister. She has plenty of money. Don't save money for your sister, do you hear me?"
"......"
Under the table, Dai Wenchun stretched out his leg and touched Qin Tai's, signaling him to smooth things over. Qin Tai was also very anxious. He wanted to speak but was glared back at by Qin's mother. Fortunately, He Chuyue spoke up at this time and took over the conversation of Qin's mother.
"Yes, grandma, I have plenty of money. But I heard from my uncle that the pension insurance I bought for you has increased in price?"
Mother Qin looked alert: "What do you want to do?"
"Nothing, I just suddenly remembered that I have to pay the bills this year. As you know, all my money has been given to my aunt and uncle and Xiaoyang. I don't have any money to buy it for you. How about you take the money?"
"you!"
"Sorry to bother you." The waiter pushed the door open and the waiter behind him was holding a large box in his hands and placed it on the cabinet next to him.
Xiao Zhiyan followed closely behind, but the first thing he saw when he came in was He Chuyue, and he avoided Qin's mother who had her mouth open.
Dai Wenchun saw this and said, "Zhiyan, this is..."
"Towels." He looked at the person at the main seat, "I was afraid the old man wouldn't have enough, so I simply asked for a big box."
"A big box?" Mother Qin was so surprised that she couldn't help but stand up to look. "So many?"
Xiao Zhiyan had already returned to his seat, his eyes lowered, and he politely explained, "If it's not enough, I'll go get more."
"I just asked you to take one, but you took... so many. Do I have to pay for them?" Mother Qin's voice was trembling.
Xiao Zhiyan noticed that He Chuyue's juice was gone, so he refilled it and said, "Spending money is a small matter. The real thing is that you are in a good mood."
He smiled gently, and his tone was full of respect, "Grandma, are you happy?"
Mother Qin picked up the water cup, took a sip, and then said: "...pleasure, pleasure."
Qin Tai and his wife looked at each other and felt slightly relieved because they knew that Xiao Zhiyan was standing up for He Chuyue. As for He Chuyue, when Xiao Zhiyan came back, her eyes fell on him. Now when she saw his stern face again, she felt sweet and sour at the same time in her heart.
Mother Qin looked at her son on her right and asked him quietly, "Did you pay for the meal tonight or did that girl pay for it?"
Qin Tai was about to say Chu Yue, but changed his words at the last minute: "You are my mother, how can I ask the younger generation to take it for my birthday?"
Qin Tai and Dai Wenchun had already transferred one thousand yuan to He Chuyue, so that she would be the one to pay the bill in front of Qin's mother, and it would not be the Qin family's money that was spent.
When Qin's mother heard this, her face changed. "Can't we withdraw?"
Qin Tai said: "You have already taken it. If you return it, how can people know whether you have used it or not?"
Mother Qin seemed to lose her strength in an instant. She sat on the chair and stopped eating. She just stared at the box of towels. Later, when Qin Tai picked up some food for her, she accepted it all, as if she wanted to get the money back for the towels.
As the night deepened, the meal was completed peacefully.
Before leaving, Qin's mother deliberately stopped Qin Tai from talking and stopped him from paying the bill. He Chuyue and Xiao Zhiyan exchanged glances before going to the door.
As soon as He Chuyue left, Qin's mother stopped talking and asked Dai Wenchun to support her and walk slowly towards the door.
Xiao Zhiyan was behind the three elders and heard everything Qin's mother said clearly.
"How can you be so shameless to expect your elders to pay for your meal? Has all the money she earned over the years gone to waste?"
Dai Wenchun explained: "Mom, the economy has been depressed in recent years, and the pressure on the first month is not small. Please don't let her spend money all the time."
"What's wrong with the economic depression? You raised her from a small child to this age. You paid for her tuition and interest classes. Which one didn't cost money? You are just stupid, saving money for others. I am here to get back the money you spent, understand!"
Qin Tai couldn't listen any longer, so he pulled her to stop, his tone getting heavier: "Mom, I didn't want to say this today, but you're really going too far! It was you who said you wanted to meet Chu Yue's boyfriend and help her check on him. Wen Chun and I thought you had let it go after not seeing Chu Yue for so long, but why are you acting like this again when you meet her? You're still telling her this and that in front of her boyfriend, what does this make Xiao Xiao think?"
"As the old saying goes, if children don't get along, the elderly are immoral. Not only do you favor Xiaoyang, you also keep trying to sow discord between the two siblings. I've said both good and bad things to you over the years, but why don't you listen?"
"Hey! Are you blaming me again? Was it me who made her useless father abandon her? Was it me who left her on the street on a rainy day and let her catch a plane? You don't blame him, but blame me instead? If her father didn't abandon her, she would have come to our house. How could I dislike her?"
Mother Qin was also unhappy, and immediately shook off Qin Tai's hand, cursing: "Why did I give birth to an ungrateful bastard like you!? That girl is a disaster. She killed her father and mother, and even her grandfather... I told you at the beginning that she had a tough life and you didn't want to raise her. Fortunately, Wen Chun invited a deity to the house to control her, otherwise how could you have lived in peace for the past few years? Now let her spend some money and you-"
"Qin Tai, is that Changda?" Dai Wenchun suddenly spoke.
Qin Tai didn't care about Qin's mother and asked, "Where is it?"
Xiao Zhiyan looked up with a frosty face, and soon saw the man Dai Wenchun mentioned through the passers-by.
He Changda was seeing off a guest, his face showing an unfamiliar expression of flattery. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were shadowed by the overhead light, making them more conspicuous and hideous.
He bent over to shake hands with the person, nodding and bowing all the way until he sent the person to the hall. When he turned around, he saw the four people here.
...
After paying the bill, He Chuyue went to the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror, looked at her lifeless face, and pulled the corners of her lips.
The white light was projected on the clean and smooth face, and the cold eyes were drooping, like cold jade sliding down, silently.
Everything that happened tonight was within her expectations, and Qin's mother's attitude towards her had not changed overnight, so there was nothing to be sad about.
There's nothing to be sad about.
Right, He Chuyue.
She raised her face again, smiled, and fixed her lipstick in front of the mirror. The twitching of her right eyelid made her stay there for a while.
When I opened the door and went out again, I didn't feel depressed at all.
As I approached the door, the man's greetings echoed in the empty space, a very common sound in the hotel. He Chuyue rubbed her twitching right eye and looked over. She stood there in a daze for a moment, unable to believe that she would meet him here.
At the same time, He Chuyue saw Dai Wenchun and Xiao Zhiyan in front of him. She wanted to walk over and say something, but she couldn't move.
Xiao Zhiyan seemed to notice her difficulties, and said something to Dai Wenchun with his head down and walked towards her.
The next second, he saw the woman's expression disappear instantly, followed by a frown of confusion and disbelief, and a face as pale as white paper.
He subconsciously quickened his pace until he had his arm around the person. The trembling of the slender shoulders under his palms made him purse his lips even tighter. At the same time, looking in the direction from which he came, a little girl who was not even as tall as his legs ran over from a distance, hugged He Changda's legs, and called him...
dad--
"He Changda! Is this your child?" Dai Wenchun almost screamed hoarsely, pointing at the child and asked in shock, "He Changda, are you still human?"
"Xiao Dai, don't be so excited." Before He Changda could say anything, he was interrupted by the baby voice of a little girl.
"Dad, when are we leaving?"
He Changda smiled at Dai Wenchun, then squatted down and hugged the little girl: "Xixi, be good, Daddy will meet someone he knows and it will take a while, why don't you go play with that uncle first?"
"dad--"
"Who are you calling daddy? Whose child are you calling daddy? Huh?"
Dai Wenchun grabbed Xixi's shoulders without saying a word and pulled her out of He Changda's arms with such force that she fell to the ground.
When He Chuyue saw this scene, she didn't care about her own physical discomfort, pushed Xiao Zhiyan away, and staggered towards Dai Wenchun.
He Changda was stunned. He picked up Xixi and angrily said to Dai Wenchun, "Why did you hit a child? She is only six years old. What does she know?"
"She doesn't understand, do you understand? He Changda, don't you have a child yourself? Where the hell did you get a child? Are you fucking mentally ill?"
He Chuyue had never heard Dai Wenchun, a teacher who was a role model, swear in her life. She staggered and the insults in her ears seemed to have transformed into countless knives, stabbing into Dai Wenchun and also into He Chuyue's heart.
The pain at the tip of her nose suddenly reached its peak, but her eyes were clear, without a trace of weakness.
Seeing that Dai Wenchun was not satisfied with her scolding and was about to push He Changda who was caring about his daughter, He Chuyue grabbed her hand before she touched anyone and secretly exerted force.
"Aunt! Don't do it."
Seeing that it was He Chuyue, Dai Wenchun's accumulated energy disappeared instantly, tears finally welled up in his eyes, and he trembled: "Niuniu..."
With the help of Xiao Zhiyan who came later, He Chuyue was relatively calm except for her unstable breathing.
"There are surveillance cameras and pedestrians in the lobby. If someone takes advantage of it, it would be a provocation and we are not in the right."
The calm and rational words were like a breeze blowing gently. Xiao Zhiyan suddenly raised his eyes, glanced at He Chuyue's slightly red eyes, and then looked at the man who had already stood up. His expression became a little colder.
"Niuniu? You are Niuniu?" He Changda looked incredulous, and then said, "I am you——"
He Chuyue interrupted with a frown: "Are we going to continue to embarrass ourselves in the lobby?"
"Yes." He misunderstood what He Chuyue meant, and said to the private room behind him, "Then let's go to the private room and talk."
...
He Chuyue originally didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore, but Dai Wenchun didn't think so. He was so angry that he had no place to vent it, so he followed him to the box.
"Auntie..." He Chuyue was still thinking about Qin Tai and the others, and asked Xiao Zhiyan, "How long have you seen him? Uncle-in-law and..."
"My aunt asked my uncle to take grandma home first and then come to pick us up."
He Chuyue’s brows furrowed even more.
Her aunt is ready for a protracted war...
"Are you okay?"
There were beads of sweat on He Chuyue's forehead, and she didn't know whether it was because of the heat or nervousness. Seeing one of them hanging on the end of her eyebrow, Xiao Zhiyan wanted to wipe it off for her, and it turned out that he did so.
He Chuyue only felt a brief warmth passing through her forehead. She looked at Xiao Zhiyan's retracted hand, and when she realized what he had done, her ears turned red.
I wanted to say something but couldn't utter it. I just looked at the figure in front of me and spoke in a low voice, not sure whether I was talking to myself or him.
"Let's go."
Feeling warm in her palms, He Chuyue looked at his right hand holding hers, and a familiar and gentle voice with hidden power came from above her head.
"Okay, let's go together."
