"You're back! Come in!" Grandma Lu said with a kind smile, looking at the two of them.
Jiang Chuxin scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and was slightly relieved to see that his grandmother looked normal and did not show any displeasure.
Several people came to the living room together, and Grandma Lu first took the two of them aside to ask about their well-being.
Soon, the living room was filled with the aroma of food. Grandma Lu looked towards the kitchen with a kind smile, "It looks like the meal is almost ready. You should go wash your hands and get ready to eat!"
Jiang Chuxin nodded, washed her hands, and came to the restaurant. The table was already full of dishes, which looked very appetizing.
"The sweet and sour fish is here!" A familiar voice sounded from behind. Jiang Chuxin subconsciously looked in that direction. When she saw Che Qing wearing an apron and holding a plate of fish and walking towards her with a smile on her face, she was stunned.
When Che Qing saw Jiang Chuxin, she was also stunned for a few seconds, then she quickly reacted and pretended nothing had happened and walked to the dining table and put the fish down.
When Lu Xiangyuan saw Che Qing, he frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
Hearing Lu Xiangyuan's question, Che Qing looked a little aggrieved and embarrassed, and said in a hurt voice, "I... I just came to see grandma. If you don't like it, I'll leave now..."
After saying that, she took off her apron, her eyes slightly red, and said to Boss Lu, "Grandma, I'll be leaving first."
Grandma Lu glared at Lu Xiangyuan and hurriedly grabbed Che Qing, "Qingqing, don't confront him. I asked you to come here, don't leave!"
After saying that, she frowned and looked at Lu Xiangyuan in feigned anger, "Qingqing came here so early in the morning and cooked so many dishes, how could you chase her away!"
Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Jiang Chuxin quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, signaling him not to talk back to his grandmother anymore. It was just a meal, it was okay.
Lu Xiangyuan's eyes were a little cold, and he pursed his lips without saying anything. However, he quietly took Jiang Chuxin's hand under the table, and tickled her palm with his fingers. Jiang Chuxin raised the corner of her lips and smiled.
Che Qing finally stayed, but she was also very angry with Lu Xiangyuan. Because after Lu Xiangyuan glanced at her unintentionally at the beginning, he never gave her a look again.
During the meal, he was either picking fish bones for Jiang Chuxin or peeling shrimps for her, completely oblivious to the people around him.
Grandma Lu saw the pain flashing in Che Qing's eyes, then looked at the loving couple, frowned, and finally spoke, "I heard from Xiaoqing that your parents are divorced, and you grew up with your mother?"
Jiang Chuxin was slightly startled, then she put away the smile on her face and admitted it generously in a calm voice, "Yes."
She doesn't think there is anything wrong with a divorced family, nor does she feel inferior.
When Lu Xiangyuan heard the old lady ask this, he looked a little unhappy and said in a cold voice, "Grandma, why are you asking these questions?" After that, he looked at Che Qing with a warning look and quickly looked away.
The old lady saw that Lu Xiangyuan was really angry. Given his temper, if she said a few more words, he might leave right away. She looked at Che Qing, who was biting her lip and lowering her head in silence, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes.
"I almost forgot that there is still a soup cooking. I'll go to the kitchen to check." Che Qing felt a little embarrassed and found an excuse to leave in a hurry.
Jiang Chuxin's eyes flickered, and she stood up and said with a smile, "I'll go with you."
After that, the two of them went to the kitchen together.
Lu Xiangyuan and the old lady were the only ones left in the restaurant.
