Xiao Cunyu observed that when Lian talked about the old man, her hands were slightly clenched and she looked really nervous. It seemed that the old man was still very majestic at home.
Xiao Cunyu nodded.
After a while, Xiao Cunyu ate and drank until he was full.
I have to say that Lian was a very gentle person. She did not show any disgust towards a poor relative like him, and even told her a lot of interesting stories about the capital.
However, the more they talked, the more Xiao Cunyu realized that Lian rarely mentioned her family's situation.
Occasionally they would talk about their children's studies, but would change the subject halfway through. Xiao Cunyu deliberately asked a lot of questions about the good deeds done by the Guo family, and Lian just listened quietly without any pride on her face.
Most normal women live their lives around their husbands and children. When they talk to others, they will inevitably talk about the people around them. However, Lian's reaction was completely different.
Xiao Cunyu returned to the guest room first.
"In the blink of an eye, my daughter is almost the same age as I was before I died. I have been confined to those streets looking for jade all these years and have not been able to see her. I am such a failure as a father... Fortunately, she doesn't seem to have suffered any pain in these years." Lian Jing sighed.
However, after he finished speaking, Lian Jing's mood became more complicated, and he had an indescribable feeling.
He wanted his daughter to live a good life, but he just thought about how stupid he was at that time. After hearing what others said, he hurriedly ran to cancel the engagement!
At that time, he felt cheated. For the happiness of his daughter, he could not wait a moment. He said he was going to cancel the engagement, but he was also going to question his in-laws whether it was true that his son-in-law beat someone.
If there was some ulterior motive behind the beating, it wouldn't be so bad.
I’m afraid my son-in-law has an incurable illness.
He was a man and knew that if a man became a beast, he would probably never be able to get rid of the beast's mentality in his entire life. He was afraid that his daughter would marry the wrong person.
"Because of my momentary impulse, my daughter became fatherless. I couldn't see her get married with my own eyes. I really regret it... And my son-in-law, I misunderstood him. Alas!" Lian Jing kept sighing.
Xiao Cunyu sat by the window: "Don't be too happy, I think your daughter has indeed been wronged."
"Isn't she fine... Look at her hands, they are even whiter and tenderer than when she was at her mother's house, and there are no scars on her face..." Lian Jing asked in surprise.
"Don't be in a hurry. Stay here for two days first and meet the whole family in the evening." Xiao Cunyu said calmly.
Lian Jing, the night wanderer, also knew Xiao Cunyu's style of doing things. Now that he saw that she wanted to stay and her expression was serious, he immediately felt uneasy.
In the evening, the guest Xiao Cunyu was also invited to dine together. At this time, Xiao Cunyu finally saw the old man of the Guo family and Lian's husband Guo Baocheng.
Guo Baocheng was middle-aged and had a small belly, but because his family had money and food, he lived a good life and looked quite young. Even when he stood next to Lian, Lian seemed a few years older than him.
Xiao Cunyu looked at the Guo family's two children again.
They sat obediently at the table, looking very well-behaved and not talkative, especially the daughter of the Guo family, who looked gentle and timid, always keeping her head down and silent.
The person sitting in the main seat is the old man.
When Lian Jing saw this old friend, he lamented the passing of time.
In the blink of an eye, my relative has become an old man in his sixties.
"You are the old man, right? I hope you don't mind if I bother you." Xiao Cunyu said to the old man with a smile.
