Chapter 234 Welcome Dinner
Duanmu Jin lowered his head and dared not answer.
As soon as they entered the house, Su Dalong and Mengmeng came to Duanmu Lin holding Xiaozhi.
Su Dalong: "Master, this is Jin'er's new wife Mengmeng, and this is their son Xiaozhi."
Meng Meng: "Grandpa, you're back. Thank you for your hard work along the way."
Duanmu Lin didn't even look at them.
"I'm tired. I'm going to take a shower, change clothes, and rest. We can talk tonight."
After Duanmu Lin left, Mengmeng looked sad: "My father-in-law must not like me anymore, otherwise why would he be so cold to me."
Duanmu Jin: "It's not that he doesn't like you, he just doesn't like us."
Su Dalong said, "Don't think too much. The master might just be really tired. Mengmeng, take the child to the mute sister first. He will be busy greeting guests later!"
Mengmeng: "Yes, mother-in-law."
After Mengmeng left, Su Dalong slapped Duanmu Jin in the face and said, "You useless thing, have you upset your father again?"
Duanmu Jin: "Mom, why do you always push everything onto me? He has never looked at me straight in the eye since I was born. Why is he like this, and you are like this too? Am I your biological child?"
Su Dalong: "It doesn't matter whether he's my biological son or not. What I want is a son who can please the master and keep him in our family. Anyone can easily take your place."
Duanmu Jin sneered: "So you didn't give birth to me because you loved my father. You gave birth to me as a tool to win his favor. I really regret being born into this family."
Sudalong said coldly, "I also regret giving birth to this useless son."
Duanmu Jin turned around and went back to his room.
Mengmeng carried the child to Junlan's house and closed the door.
The "bang" sound scared Junlan so much that her face turned pale.
Jun Lan: "Madam, you scared me."
Meng Meng: "Mute sister, I want to ask you something, you must not lie to me!"
Jun Lan: "I won't lie to you. If I wanted to lie to you, I wouldn't have told you that I could speak."
Meng Meng: "Then tell me honestly, have you known my father-in-law for a long time?"
Jun Lan: "Are you talking about Master Duanmu?"
Meng Meng: "If not him, who else could it be?"
Jun Lan thought for a moment: "I really don't know Master Duanmu." To be honest, she really didn't know Duanmu Lin, she only knew Nangong Yu.
Mengmeng sat on the edge of the bed and sighed continuously.
Jun Lan: "Meng Meng, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Meng: "My father-in-law doesn't seem to like me. I know that Master Jin agreed to marry me so that he could have a child sooner and win the favor of his parents-in-law, but now my father-in-law seems indifferent to Xiaozhi and me. I think Master Jin may also hate me. I guess I won't have much status in this family in the future."
Jun Lan: "How can you think like that? Marriage isn't a bargaining chip for money and power. If he really didn't like you, why would he marry you and have children with you?"
Meng Meng: "Mute sister, I'm really afraid that Master Jin will follow his father's example and marry several wives."
Jun Lan: "Madam, you're overthinking it. You're so beautiful, and Master Jin loves you so much, how could he bear to make you sad?"
Meng Meng: "If he ever takes a concubine, I would rather that woman be you than anyone else. At least you can be truly good to my son."
Jun Lan: "Madam, what nonsense are you talking about? I am married and will never remarry easily. If you say these things again in the future, I will be angry."
Meng Meng looked at Jun Lan holding her hand and said, "I was anxious and confused and said something nonsense. Mute sister, please don't blame me."
Jun Lan thought to herself, "You came here on purpose to test me!"
Meng Meng: "Actually, I didn't want this to happen. I saw that Master Jin had fallen out of favor with his parents-in-law, and I was worried that my son would follow in his father's footsteps, so I was anxious to come up with a solution."
Jun Lan: "Why is your family like this?"
Meng Meng: "When Young Master Jin was young, he was also very favored by the father-in-law. He was trained as the heir since he was young. Later, as the father-in-law married more and more women and had more and more children, Young Master Jin gradually fell out of favor. I can't believe that now they have reached a point where they can't talk to each other. You didn't see it just now, but the look in the father-in-law's eyes when he looked at Young Master Jin was full of disgust."
Jun Lan: "They haven't seen each other for so long, so they're bound to feel awkward for a while. Don't overthink it."
Suddenly the door was opened, and the two women in the room were so scared that they hugged each other tightly. Fortunately, the person who opened the door was Duanmu Jin.
Duanmu Jin: "Don't speak so loudly in the future. Do you want everyone in the family to know that you are pretending to be deaf and dumb?"
Mengmeng finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw it was Duanmu Jin.
"He already knows about you, don't worry."
Jun Lan: "Didn't you say you wouldn't tell anyone?"
Duanmu Jin: "It was the man who came to see you last time who accidentally leaked it. Hey, let me ask you, do you really not know my father?"
Jun Lan: "What happened to you two tonight? Why do you both take turns asking me about this? I'm telling you seriously again, I really don't know Master Duanmu."
Meng Meng: "I believe her words."
Duanmu Jin: "Well, even if my father really wants to marry another wife, I have no power to stop him. Besides, he is more willing and powerful than me."
Mengmeng: "Husband..."
Jun Lan: "Okay, let's stop chatting here. Guests are coming, and we have to go out and greet them."
Sure enough, at the gate, guests filed in.
Meng Meng: "Second Mother, Third Mother, Fourth Mother, and their families aren't coming?"
Duanmu Jin: "They are not coming."
Meng Meng: "This is bad. If they don't come, my father-in-law will be furious again."
Duanmu Jin: "I have tried my best. Even if he wants to beat me to death, there is nothing I can do."
"Master Duanmu, long time no see. Wow, it's been a while since we last met. You seem to be getting younger and younger. You look much stronger and healthier than the rest of us. Don't you think so, Xiao Zhang?" Cheng Wanjin came with Zhang Fanxi.
He looked at Zhang Fanxi, who was looking at Duanmu Lin with a puzzled expression, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. "Xiao Zhang, why are you in a daze? I'm asking you a question!"
Zhang Fanxi quickly came to his senses: "Yes, Master Duanmu really looks very young, more energetic than us young people. It is true that hearing about him is not as good as meeting him in person. When we saw Master Duanmu's upright and heroic posture, we younger generations really felt ashamed of ourselves."
Duanmu Lin: "Boss Cheng, your new little brother is very good at talking."
Zhang Fanxi: "Master Duanmu, have we met in China?"
Duanmu Lin: "No? I don't think I've seen you before."
Cheng Wanjin glared at Zhang Fanxi and said, "Stop trying to make connections here."
He smiled and said to Duanmu Lin: "This little kid has not seen much of the world and does not know any etiquette. It really makes you, Master Duanmu, laugh."
Duanmu Lin: "Sometimes it's no big deal to recognize the wrong person. Please go in and take a seat. Thank you so much for your kindness."
