It’s hard to tell whether this is a sad thing or a fortunate thing.
Zhao Suqin continued, but this time she glanced at Li Qing's slightly bulging belly. It can be said that this child is really fat.
"But Li Qing, don't think that boys don't care about their bodies. There are many girls who like boys with good bodies..."
Li Qing blushed.
He no longer linked arms with Feng Anchen. Zhao Suqin's smiling face looked so scary, so he fled to the living room.
Zhao Suqin looked at Feng Xiaowu gently, but did not say anything. Instead, she turned and went to the kitchen.
Feng Anchen lowered his brows and slowly wiped the wine glass with a white cotton cloth.
She looked indifferent, as if she had seen nothing and nothing had happened. Li Qing, who went to the living room to call them to eat, muttered to himself, "I thought she had changed, but she still can't speak like before."
It seems that he still wants to avoid her.
During the meal, Zhao Suqin was quiet the whole time and unexpectedly didn't say a word, but her expression was gentle.
Old Mrs. Feng glanced at her eldest son and daughter-in-law calmly. If they had not just knelt in front of her and her husband to apologize, if Zhao Suqin had not vowed to mend her ways and put all her heart into the family, and if her eldest son had not also solemnly promised to make up for his neglect of the family over the years, she would not have let Zhao Suqin eat at the table.
If it weren't for their son Feng Fan, they would not have tolerated Zhao Suqin until now.
The Feng family was wealthy and powerful, with considerable property. What Zhao Suqin secretly took to her parents' home was just a drop in the bucket, but even so, it was unpleasant.
So in the past two years, Old Lady Feng didn't even want to look at Zhao Suqin, let alone eat at the same table with her.
Especially today, on such an important occasion, although no one said it explicitly, when has her Xiaowu ever brought a girl home? She is Xiaowu's grandmother and can't help, but she can't hold him back either.
Pretending to be confused and smiling, he would leave a good impression on the little girl about the Feng family. This would also make things much smoother for the two children to be together in the future.
So she had no intention of letting Zhao Suqin eat in her yard at all.
But today, Zhao Suqin seemed like a different person for some reason. She also didn't know if she suddenly figured something out. Anyway, there is a saying that goes, when you beat a dog, you have to look at the owner first.
Her eldest son begged them to give him another chance for her. Of course, she couldn't hurt his heart. As long as the two of them were fine, she wouldn't do anything to break up the family.
However, Zhao Suqin's performance has been acceptable since she entered the kitchen until now, so I finally put my mind at ease.
Although this meal was not a joyous one, the atmosphere was good. The important thing was that Li Qing was there, and Jiawen had been here several times and was familiar with them. The only thing was that Xiaoxi didn't talk much, and Feng Xiaowu usually didn't say a word in such occasions, but overall, Mr. and Mrs. Feng were very satisfied.
After finishing their meal, the four teenagers went out for a drive again.
Old Mrs. Feng was holding the teacup to drink tea, but when she heard this, a cold smile appeared on her lips and she put the teacup on the coffee table. The two cups collided with each other, making a crisp sound, which also expressed Old Mrs. Feng's dissatisfaction.
She secretly hated in her heart, she knew that this woman had bad intentions, she behaved so well, but it turned out that she had something to ask of them. There was no need to think, as soon as she opened her mouth, she knew that she was either getting something for her mother or doing something for her brother. In short, the Zhao family was a pit that could never be filled, no matter what they gave, they would never be satisfied.
Old Master Feng looked very calm. He didn't look at Zhao Suqin but at Feng Fengfan. If it were at this time in other days, his eldest son would have frowned and interrupted Zhao Suqin with an indifferent look.
But today, for some reason, he found that his eldest son seemed calm and composed, with a slight smile on his lips and his sword-like brows relaxed. He hadn't seen him with such an expression for a long time.
What I remember is that his son would be like this before and after these children were born.
The old man's eyes flickered slightly, and he touched his wife who was sitting next to him with his arm, and said with a smile, "Tell me what you have to say."
"snort."
Old Madam Feng snorted coldly and turned her head away from Zhao Suqin. As the saying goes, a dog will always eat shit. She could foresee what Zhao Suqin would ask for next. It must be about her younger brother.
The flash of disgust in his eyes was caught by Zhao Suqin. She smiled bitterly in her heart. It takes time for the ice to freeze three feet thick. It was impossible to change the old man and the old lady's impression of her in an instant. However, she believed that facts spoke louder than words. No matter how much she said, it would be useless and she had to do it.
She also had a smile on her face. "Afan and I have discussed it. I will go to the company to resign on Monday."
"Resign?"
Old Madam Feng turned her head sharply and stared at Zhao Suqin. "It's not easy to get this job. You know how the people in the company accommodate you. You will retire in a few years. Why are you making such a fuss now? Can't you just live your life quietly?"
Zhao Suqin didn't expect the old lady to react so strongly. She was about to explain when Feng Fan beside her spoke at the right time. There was a barely perceptible smile in his eyes. Unlike his usual cold and indifferent attitude, his whole person became warmer.
"Mom, Susu didn't explain herself clearly. She's not resigning but taking a leave of absence. Her company is also downsizing, and her position is dispensable. We just discussed taking a leave of absence. In this way, we can pay for our pension every year and retire normally when the time comes."
Old Master Feng didn't pay attention to Feng Fan's address, but he knew that his son was telling the truth. If it weren't for the Feng family, Zhao Suqin would have been persuaded to drop out long ago. She also got her college diploma by attending night school. Everyone knew that it was a lie. However, the term "suspending work without pay" was a new term. This was the second time he heard it. The first time was from an old friend. It was said that a pilot project was being carried out in Nancheng, and the experiment was about leaving work without pay.
He asked, "Why do you suddenly have this idea?"
But Old Mrs. Feng looked at her son with some surprise.
Susu, is this Zhao Suqin’s nickname?
