Wei San's wife sighed softly, secretly feeling sorry for the two of them.
But she also understood that this was their fate and could not be changed.
Mrs. Wei Si seemed a little dull. She just ate her meal silently, occasionally looking up at everyone with a simple smile on her face.
Wei Zhi looked at the table full of delicacies, his eyes sparkling: "Mom, these dishes are so delicious! Can we eat them often in the future?"
When Su Huaiyue heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.
She smiled and touched Wei Zhi's head: "Of course, as long as you like, mother will do it for you often."
Wei Li also echoed: "Mom, I like the food you cook too!"
Su Huaiyue looked at the two children's innocent smiles, her heart filled with happiness and satisfaction.
Jing Zhiwan, who was sitting opposite, was slightly surprised when she saw this scene. "Sister Su, you look about the same age as me, but you already have a pair of children. You really look young, you wouldn't be able to tell."
To be honest, she was still a little happy in her heart.
Wei Che treats Su Huaiyue differently from how he treats others, and Su Huaiyue already has children. According to ethical principles, it is impossible for the two of them to be together.
Thinking of this, she felt a little ashamed, wondering when she had such a vicious thought.
As soon as Jing Zhiwan finished speaking, Madam Wei took over with a smile: "Huaiyue, you are really the lucky star of our Wei family. Look at these two children, how well you have raised them."
Su Huaiyue smiled modestly and said, "Grandma and my brothers and sisters-in-law help take care of it. I can't handle it all by myself."
Madam Wei shook her head and looked at Su Huaiyue lovingly: "You can't say that. You are their mother. No one can take away this credit."
Although they are not biological children, they are better than biological children.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became warm and harmonious. Jing Zhiwan looked at this scene with mixed feelings.
She understood that she still had a long way to go if she wanted to integrate into this family.
Wei Che ate his meal in silence, occasionally looking up at Su Huaiyue, with a barely perceptible tenderness in his eyes.
This subtle movement did not escape the eyes of Wei Sansao. She sighed in her heart and felt even more sorry for the two of them.
After the meal, everyone moved to the garden to drink tea and digest the food.
The Wei family's house is now almost completed, with only the front hall left to be built. The garden already has a unique scenery.
Jing Zhiwan took the initiative to ask to visit the Wei family's garden, and Wei Yunrou volunteered to be the guide.
The two walked side by side on the path in the garden. Jing Zhiwan asked from time to time about the layout of the garden and the names of the flowers and plants, and Wei Yunrou patiently answered them one by one.
"Sister Yunrou, this garden is so unique, every detail reveals ingenuity." Jing Zhiwan exclaimed sincerely.
Wei Yunrou smiled and said, "This garden was designed by my sister-in-law herself. Brother Wei Che's favorite thing to do is drink tea and appreciate the flowers here."
Jing Zhiwan's heart moved slightly when she heard this. She didn't expect Wei Che to have such a sentiment.
I just didn't expect Su Huaiyue to be so talented and be able to design such a garden. No wonder Wei Che looks up to her so highly.
"Oh? What kind of tea does Master Wei like to drink on weekdays?" Jing Zhiwan suppressed the disappointment in her heart and asked casually.
"My brother's favorite drink is Longjing tea. He says it can refresh the mind and help with thinking." Wei Yunrou answered without hesitation.
Jing Zhiwan silently kept it in mind and planned to bring some fine Longjing tea to Wei Che next time she came.
The two walked around the garden and then returned to the place where they were having tea.
At this time, Wei Che was sitting with Su Huaiyue. They were talking about something, and both had smiles on their faces.
Jing Zhiwan couldn't help but feel a bitterness in her heart. She knew that if she wanted to get into Wei Che's heart, she would need to make more efforts.
The night was like a thick piece of silk, slowly spreading across the sky, shrouding the entire residence in silence.
Jing Zhiwan sat in the living room, looking out the window at the gradually darkening sky from time to time, thinking to herself that it was time to say goodbye.
She bowed slightly and said softly to Madam Wei, "Madam, it's getting late. Wan'er can't bother you any further. I'm going back now."
Madam Wei had a kind smile on her face, her eyes full of concern as she tried to persuade him to stay, "It's so late, and the road is unsafe. Why don't you stay here? It will save your family from worrying."
Jing Zhiwan felt a warm feeling in her heart, but she still declined politely: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, but my parents are still waiting for me, so I can't stay any longer."
Seeing that she was determined to leave, Madam Wei no longer insisted, nodded and said, "Okay, then. Be careful on your way."
Seeing this, Su Huaiyue stood up and said, "I'll take Miss Jing to the door."
The two walked out of the hall side by side. Along the way, Jing Zhiwan lowered her head slightly, her steps were a little heavy, and she seemed to be still immersed in the loss of Wei Che's rejection of her.
Su Huaiyue glanced at her secretly, feeling a little reluctant, and broke the silence softly: "Miss Jing, I hope you don't mind my poor hospitality today."
Jing Zhiwan forced a smile and said, "Sister Su, what are you talking about? I am very happy to be at your house today."
Having said that, there was an unconcealable bitterness in that smile.
When she reached the door, Jing Zhiwan stopped, turned around, and looked at Su Huaiyue sincerely: "Sister Su, thank you for your care these days. I will definitely visit you again someday."
Su Huaiyue responded with a smile: "Miss Jing, you are too polite. You can come anytime. The Wei family always welcomes you."
The car from the Governor's Mansion was already waiting. After Jing Zhiwan got in the car, she took another reluctant look at the Wei residence under renovation. When she didn't see Wei Che for a long time, she looked away and left.
Su Huaiyue watched Jing Zhiwan's figure gradually disappear into the night, with mixed feelings in her heart.
At this time, everything is silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects, which further highlights the tranquility of the night.
The next day, Su Huaiyue was supervising the work when he saw a carriage parked in front of the door with a sign that read "Inspector's Mansion".
She walked slowly towards him and just saw Jing Fangchun stepping off the carriage.
"How come Governor Jing has time to come here?" Su Huaiyue hurried forward to greet him and bowed slightly.
Governor Jing pulled out an invitation from his chest and said formally, "Miss Su, I will be hosting a banquet at my residence tomorrow. I've specially sent you an invitation to invite the Wei family to attend."
Su Huaiyue smiled slightly, bowed slightly, and said, "It is a great honor for my humble home that the Governor personally delivered the invitation. I wonder what the banquet will be about?"
Jing Fangchun stroked his long beard, a kind smile on his face: "Tomorrow is my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony, and I specially invite everyone from the Wei family to come and watch the ceremony and join us in the celebration."
Su Huaiyue's heart moved, it turned out that it was for Jing Zhiwan's coming-of-age ceremony.
She thought again, the coming-of-age ceremony is of great significance to a girl, so it is understandable that Jing Zhiwan's father attaches so much importance to it.
