While eating, Grandma Shen and Gigi Lai kept asking Meng Xiao to eat and picking up food for him.
Shen Qingli said sourly: "If you don't know, you would think Meng Xiao is your biological son. No one picked it up for me, hum."
"You are not polite to us, aren't you worried that my son-in-law will feel embarrassed and not full?" Gigi Lai gave her another chopstick and scolded her with a smile.
"I'm jealous of everyone."
Meng Xiao had no choice but to quickly pick up two pieces of food for her with his chopsticks: "All for you."
Only then did Shen Qingli smile.
While Mr. Shen was having dinner and chatting with Meng Xiao, he suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Shen Qingli:
"Qingqing, do you remember Uncle Ye? The old man of the Ye family was vindicated, and the whole family has been living in another province. For some reason, they all moved back in the middle of the twelfth lunar month before the New Year."
"This is someone's home, their ancestral home. What other reason could there be for moving back?" Gigi Lai rolled her eyes at him.
"I met Brother Mingchuan in the army. I didn't know that his family had returned before the New Year."
Shen Qingli didn't even raise his head, eating the food made by his mother, and it tasted so delicious.
"I didn't see the Ye family kid when I went to his house for dinner. Did he join the army? I thought that after his grandfather was rehabilitated, he would pursue a career in government, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather.
Their family is simply born politicians. Right, Dad?" Shen Ping looked up and asked his father.
"Whether you choose a career in government or join the military, you're both serving your country. It doesn't matter where you go. The Ye family is great! Excellent people shine wherever they go."
The old man said bluntly.
Meng Xiao poured Shen Qingli a bowl of soup before speaking slowly:
"Ye Mingchuan is indeed quite good. He was already a major and a battalion commander at the age of 24. He has only been here for a few days, but the soldiers under him are very obedient and capable. He has unlimited potential in the future."
What he said was very pertinent, without any sarcasm or other emotions.
Putting aside other factors, Ye Mingchuan is indeed a very outstanding person. Outstanding people appreciate each other!
"That's really good." Father Shen nodded.
The door of the Shen family has been left open since Shen Qingli came, which makes it convenient for some people to come.
Shen Jiayao and Meng Hao appeared in front of the Shen family with things in their hands.
Shen Qingli suddenly felt that the food was not tasty and had no appetite. It turned out that her mother-in-law was right. These two people really came to Shen's house.
There is no peace in the Meng family, and there is no peace in the Shen family either, really!
Shen Jiayao's eyes turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes. "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma, Yaoyao is back to see you."
The Shen family couldn't agree or disagree. You said they were just two living people standing there.
"You have nothing to do with this family anymore. You don't have to come back to see us. We didn't ask you to come back."
Gigi Lai turned her face to the side, not looking at her, and spoke calmly.
Shen Jiayao was also stubborn, pretending not to hear, and walked in with Meng Hao in tow. Meng Hao paused when he saw Meng Xiao, then pretended not to see him. After all, the engagement had already been broken off.
But he was a guest of honor, but no one welcomed him, which really made him unhappy!
"Uncle, Aunt. Hello, I'm Meng Hao, Yaoyao's boyfriend."
He called everyone one by one. Shen Qingli had just dragged his grandparents back to the house, so he decided not to bother them with such a troublesome matter.
Meng Hao was extremely humble, not because the other party was Shen Jiayao's adoptive parents, but mainly because his parents had told him before he came that he must keep the Shen family together. Without the support of the Meng family, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to survive in the capital.
"Young man, don't blame your uncle for speaking harshly. Shen Jiayao has no relationship with our family anymore. You should go meet her parents."
Chen Ping and Li Zi were so upset that they thought about what she had done. They were too kind not to beat them out.
"Shen Jiayao, you should bring your partner to your parents instead of coming to my Shen family."
Shen Qingli closed the door and walked to the dining table and spoke loudly.
"I just feel that my parents have raised me for so many years, and I just want to go home during the New Year and let them see my partner."
She was as aggrieved as ever, speaking softly and weakly.
However, Shen's father and mother remained calm. It was obvious that Shen Jiayao had used the same tone and expression before. At that time, they only thought she was simple, weak and innocent, but now they could see through her hypocritical and artificial behavior.
It can’t be fake, why didn’t I see it before?
"Don't cry in my house on New Year's Day. Get out. No one wants you."
Gigi Lai always says what she thinks.
"Auntie, Yaoyao is always thinking about you. Isn't this a bit unkind?" Meng Hao had never been so angry before. He had been frustrated one after another in the past few days. He couldn't help but speak with a hint of emotion.
"Don't embarrass yourself here. If you don't leave now, I won't let you go out myself."
Meng Xiao's lips were straightened and his tone sounded emotionless.
Meng Hao was still afraid of this big brother. He had been strong since he was a child, but he had no confidence at all when facing him. He had always had no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat.
He gritted his teeth and looked directly at Meng Xiao: "Meng Xiao, we've already severed our relationship. Why do you control me? It's illegal for you to hit me."
Meng Xiao sneered, "Just because you broke into a private house, is it enough for me to be an officer of the Chinese People's Liberation Army? If you think I can't do anything about it, then Qingqing, go call the police. Someone is breaking into a private house here."
"Meng Xiao, please don't go too far. How am I getting in your way?"
Meng Hao yelled angrily.
Shen Qingli had already walked over to the phone. She smiled at Shen Jiayao and said, "It just so happens that the more I think about what you did to me, the more I can't get over it. Let's report it to the police together."
As soon as she put her hand on the phone, she heard Shen Jiayao yelling, "No!"
She raised her eyebrows and looked over. Shen Jiayao said hurriedly, "I, we're leaving now. Don't report it to the police. We're leaving now, right now."
After saying that, he pulled Meng Hao and walked out in a panic.
She was scared to death. That incident was like a time bomb hanging over her head. She was afraid that Shen Qingli would report to the police one day, but she was so panicked that she forgot that the Shen family had no evidence of what happened that day.
Shen Qingli was just trying to trick her, but he didn't expect that she would actually be tricked away.
"You're so clever! She didn't react at all. If she did, she wouldn't be scared." Mother Shen said as she collected the dishes.
Seeing his father-in-law and mother-in-law working, Meng Xiao hurriedly followed suit. No one could stop him. He collected the dishes and waved to Shen Qingli, "You sit there. We don't need you."
Shen Qingli didn't go up to join in the fun. In the kitchen, Shen's mother refused to let Meng Xiao finish washing the chopsticks.
Together with Mr. Shen, they pulled Meng Xiao out.
