Chapter 471 The Li Family's People Change Their Faces Faster Than Turning the Page of a Book
As soon as the two finished talking, He Tingchen's phone rang again, and Lin Rushang couldn't help but complain.
"It seems that even though Mr. He is getting married soon, the business is still very busy."
He Tingchen took out his cell phone from his pocket and took a look. He found that it was Mr. Li calling. He didn't want to create any barriers between himself and Lin Rushuang, so he slid down the answer button and turned on the hands-free mode at the same time.
"Hello." He Tingchen's voice was still lukewarm, just like him.
"Hey, Tingchen, I'm out of the hospital. My family said they want to get rid of the bad luck for me and have a family dinner. You should bring Rushuang back to liven things up."
From his voice, it can be heard that Master Li is in a good mood.
But He Tingchen's answer the next second was like a bucket of cold water, which chilled Master Li to the core.
"You guys can have fun. Our wedding is coming up soon and there are still many things we haven't prepared. Besides, her energy hasn't been very good lately, so she won't be coming."
Mr. Li was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, and his voice sounded a little lost.
"I'm not coming back. Actually, there aren't that many people coming. They're just relatives who visit our family often. Rushuang stays at home all day, so she might as well come out and play for a while."
He Tingchen's attitude was very firm.
"No thanks, thank you for your kindness."
Mr. Li didn't say anything on the other end, but he didn't hang up the phone either.
Lin Rushuang heard the disappointment in Mr. Li's voice just now, and felt a little pitiful. She reached out and took the phone from He Tingchen's hand.
"Grandpa, I'm Rushuang. How about this? We won't stay too long. We have a lot of things to do at home. We can just come back for dinner. Is that okay?"
When Master Li heard this, his voice became much louder.
"Okay, as long as you're willing to come back, even just for a meal, it's fine. Rushuang is sensible, but that kid is used to being alone."
"Okay, see you at noon tomorrow."
Master Li replied with a smile on the phone: "Okay, okay, then we'll wait for you guys tomorrow at noon."
After hanging up the phone, Lin Rushang returned the phone to He Tingchen. He Tingchen looked at Lin Rushang with some confusion and said in a low voice.
"Actually, there's no need for you to compromise yourself for them. I've already told you that I don't want you to marry me. It's no different than marrying Li Wenyuan. Before, you had to please the Li family for Li Wenyuan's sake, but with me, you only need to please yourself."
When Lin Rushuang heard He Tingchen's words, her heart was filled with joy. She curled the corners of her lips slightly, took He Tingchen's arm, and leaned her head against him.
"I understand what you said, but people can't always make mistakes. Besides, the old man is old, and we can't even satisfy him with such a small thing. Besides, we just go back to have a meal, which only takes a short time."
He Tingchen had a tense face, but when he looked at Lin Rushuang, his angular features softened a little.
"Silly boy, I'm worried that you'll be bullied by the Li family. Haven't you had enough of the faces of those Li family relatives?"
"It doesn't matter. I've never suffered any loss anyway. I've always fought back against whatever they said about me before."
When she married Li Wenyuan, she always went back to the Li family and was looked down upon by relatives because Grandpa Li had already found a partner for Li Wenyuan, whose family conditions were better than hers and who could help him in his career.
This also led to the Li family always disliking her. Every time they went back, they would mock her. At the beginning, Li Wenyuan would also help her to explain a few words.
At that time, Lin Rushuang still felt that she had not married the wrong person. Until Li Wenyuan was together with Jiang Yuyan, she often went back to the Li family alone. Even if they went back together, Li Wenyuan was always busy chatting on the phone with Jiang Yuyan.
There is no time to take care of her at all.
But she has a very strong personality and never admits defeat. Since those people always say that she can't help Li Wenyuan, she has to prove her ability.
In fact, she did use her abilities to shut those people up.
But later I found out that these people didn't dislike you because of any shortcomings you had, they simply didn't like you. Someone who doesn't like you will always find fault with you.
He Tingchen habitually ruffled Lin Rushuang's hair. "In short, remember, no matter where you are, don't let yourself suffer. If they dare to say anything against you, you can scold them all you want. At worst, I'll just break up with the Li family again."
Lin Rushuang felt warm in her heart after hearing this. It turned out that having someone's support was such a reassuring feeling. She no longer had to fight alone.
The next day, she and He Tingchen went to the mall to buy some gifts for the old man.
When they arrived at the Li family's old house, Lin Rushang and He Tingchen had different expressions, because this place had special meaning to both of them.
He Tingchen's childhood misfortune also came from here, and the same goes for Lin Rushang. Ever since she married Li Wenyuan, the people in the Li family have never stopped mocking her.
But compared to himself, He Tingchen's heart should be more complicated.
Lin Rushang reached out and held his hand, and seeing his rejection, she spoke to comfort him.
"It's just a meal. Let's go after we finish eating."
"Yeah." He Tingchen also shook her hand.
Lin Rushang pulled He Tingchen's hand and placed it on her slightly bulging belly.
"We are not two people, we are three."
He Tingchen felt that there was still a little life in Lin Rushang's lower abdomen, and the coldness in his eyes melted away a little at this moment.
"Let's go."
The two of them went in, and Master Li came down from upstairs and took a special look at her belly.
"Come in and sit down, it's windy outside."
After saying that, he turned around and shouted towards the kitchen.
"Mrs. Wu, is the chicken soup I asked you to make ready? Hurry and serve a bowl for Rushuang."
Lin Rushuang politely waved her hand: "No, I went out to eat some fruit."
"It's okay, leave it here. If you get hungry later, you can drink something to fill your stomach. Lunch is late today, and I'm worried you'll be hungry. Oh, and I asked the servants to buy some. There are sour, spicy, and sweet drinks. Take a look and see what you like."
"If they all think it's not suitable, just tell me what you want to eat and I'll ask them to buy it right away."
Lin Rushuang felt a little troubled just by listening to it, but she had never seen the old man so enthusiastic towards her before.
She smiled and said, "I just want something spicy."
Master Li kept muttering, "Sour boy, spicy girl."
Lin Rushuang smiled and said, "Grandpa, this is an old saying. Who still says it like this now?"
Mr. Li is not that old-fashioned: "It doesn't matter, we like boys and girls."
By this time, almost all the relatives of the Li family had arrived. The third aunt came over with a plate of steamed yam and tapped the edge of the plate lightly with a porcelain spoon.
"Rushuang, try this! I asked the kitchen to steam it soft and without sugar. It's good for your stomach during early pregnancy. Your third uncle used to have a bad stomach and relied on this."
Lin Rushuang knew that her third aunt had often given her trouble in the past, but for some reason today, she suddenly became nice to her.
