Why aren't Mr. and Mrs. Lin here?
It's because they don't want to lower themselves to the status of Lin Zao and his wife, making them treat them as honored guests and wait for them early; they simply can't do that.
So what if Tang Jian was a third-rank Anbei General?
Now that we've come to Yaozhou, even if he's a dragon, we have to treat him with respect.
Although he knew his parents' behavior was impolite, Lin Shaohua naturally wouldn't tell them the truth.
"My grandmother just spoke to my parents; they should be here in a little while."
After saying that, Lin Shaohua signaled the servants to serve the dishes.
He invited Lin Zao and his wife to sit down first.
Although Lin Zao and his wife noticed that Lin Shaohua's expression was unusual, they didn't think too much about it.
While they were sitting, Lin Shaohua pulled the two of them aside to talk.
However, Tang Jian paid little attention to what Lin Shaohua said, only listening attentively when Lin Zao's childhood was mentioned.
So Lin Shaohua, being tactful, told Tang Jian some funny stories about Lin Zao's childhood.
Lin Zao sat to the side, watching the two men tell her embarrassing stories from her childhood in front of her. When they said something funny, Tang Jian would even curl the corners of his lips.
Lin Shaohua laughed heartily, completely disregarding Lin Zao's feelings beside him.
Although they are all harmless little things, it's still a bit embarrassing to hear others talk about them.
However, Lin Zao always had a smiling and tolerant expression on her face, making it impossible for anyone to see through her facade.
The fact that she didn't let Lin Shaohua and the others notice anything amiss even though she had amnesia shows that she's at least very skilled at controlling her facial expressions.
All the food was served before Mr. and Mrs. Lin finally arrived.
"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Your grandmother just talked to us about the banquet for her birthday, which caused the delay. Please forgive us, nephew-in-law."
Tang Jian and Lin Zao stood up to return the greeting.
Lin Zao: "We were the ones who were bothering you. Uncle and Aunt are very busy, but they still took time out of their busy schedules to come and have a meal with us. We are already very happy."
Master Lin beamed with joy: "Don't mention it. You're my own niece. Now that you're back, no matter how busy I am, I'll make time to be with you, won't I?"
"By the way, this is an invitation personally drafted by your uncle. You must bring your children over to let us see them in seven days for your grandmother's birthday."
"I heard it all from your eldest brother. I actually have twin grandsons and granddaughters. Your uncle is so happy for you."
The aunt standing next to her secretly grimaced, wondering how such a lucky thing could have fallen on their heads.
It's truly a cruel twist of fate. Her Fu'er is so pitiful; she hasn't had a child all these years. It must be that little bitch Lin Zao who stole her daughter's luck.
No wonder Aunt Hu Lin thought that way.
Actually, after Lin Zao left, Lin Fu was unhappy with everything, as if she had become a different person, and nothing she did pleased her.
After marrying Wang Xuzhi, her temper became even more volatile. Coupled with the fact that she had never had children, Lin Fu's mother-in-law began to make sarcastic remarks, calling her a barren hen.
She often gave her the cold shoulder. If it weren't for the deep ties between her and the Lin family's interests, Wang Xuzhi's mother would have wanted her son to divorce Lin Fu.
Even without taking a break, she still arranged for many beautiful women to be sent to their courtyard for her son, under the pretext that the Wang family needed to continue the family line.
Lin Fu, having not given birth to a son or daughter, naturally felt guilty and could only swallow her anger and accept it.
Lin Fu often went back to her parents' home to cry and complain about this.
