Jiang Ye took Lu Zhian's things and slept restlessly at night, tossing and turning, and even Lu Zhian was woken up several times.
The next morning, Yao Qiyue got up at around five o'clock and went to the tofu shop to buy fresh soy milk, and also took a quick stroll around the morning market.
Jiang Ye was preparing pancakes in the kitchen. Lu Zhian's train was at 10:30 in the morning. The train from Nancheng to Jingshi took exactly one day and one night.
He prepared to make some easy-to-carry dry food for Lu Zhian to take with him.
At around six o'clock, Jiang Ye didn't wait for Yao Qiyue who came back from shopping, but waited for the three members of the Lin family.
Lin Wanru was wearing a gray coat and following behind Zhang Mengjia with her head lowered. She had lost her former vitality and looked gloomy.
Jiang Ye saw that the three people were a little confused, but Zhang Mengjia was not as cold as the father and daughter. She had a generous and decent smile on her face.
He calmly looked at Jiang Ye, who was wearing an apron, and said, "You have changed a lot in the past few years. You are different after you started a family."
"I'm your teacher's colleague. I've seen you in the office before. This is my husband and daughter."
Obviously, Zhang Mengjia had no intention of introducing Lin Songshan to Jiang Ye. They came here today to find Lu Zhian.
Lin Songshan also wanted to take the opportunity to take a look at Yao Qiyue, who had harmed his daughter to this state.
When Lu Zhian opened the door and saw the three people in the yard, he was obviously stunned. When he left, he did not tell them that he was living in Jiang Ye's house.
"Why are you here?"
Lin Songshan's expression became much better when facing Lu Zhian. Although he didn't show any extra expression, he no longer had the aloof temperament that he had when facing Jiang Ye.
"Teacher Lu, you came to Nancheng with us. We have been busy with my daughter's affairs these days and left you here alone for several days."
Lu Zhian waved his hand nonchalantly. "I came to Nancheng to check on these two troublesome disciples. How is Wanru now? Is he feeling better?"
When Lin Wanru heard Lu Zhian's question, she forced a smile and said, "Teacher, I'm fine."
Jiang Ye took off his apron and said politely, "Please come in and have a seat. I'll make you some tea."
Yao Qiyue came back with a lot of bags and saw a group of people standing in the yard. She saw Lin Wanru at a glance.
When Lin Wanru saw Yao Qiyue appear, her face became much calmer, without the previous confrontation.
The atmosphere in the yard suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at each other.
Zhang Mengjia wore a proper smile on her face, and behaved gracefully: "You must be Yao Qiyue, right? I heard my daughter mention you."
"The Public Security Bureau has already investigated this matter thoroughly. Although it was a misunderstanding, our daughter has indeed caused you a lot of trouble.
This is a small gift we brought. I hope you won’t take it personally. My daughter is still young and naturally a bit naive and romantic.”
Hearing this, Yao Qiyue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Lin Wanru's mother was more concerned than her.
It is said that you should not hit a smiling person, so Yao Qiyue did not take the gift from Zhang Mengjia.
"I'm sorry to have cost you so much. How can we, a junior, accept such a generous gift from you?"
Yao Qiyue refused without even looking at what Zhang Mengjia brought, which made Zhang Mengjia and Lin Songshan a little unhappy. This showed that Yao Qiyue was more difficult to deal with than they had imagined.
Since seeing the three people appear at home, there has been no extra expression on Yao Qiyue's face, and she did not show any impatience towards Lin Wanru who came to her house to cause trouble again and again.
"Now that you're here, come in and have a cup of tea."
There is some good tea in Yao Qiyue’s cake shop, which is the Biluochun she bought when she traveled to Suzhou.
There is a large desk in Jiang Ye's room, on which is placed a thick stack of books and the exercises that Lu Zhian gave Jiang Ye in the past two days.
Jiang Ye cleaned the desk and everyone sat down. Yao Qiyue made tea for them, using the white porcelain coffee cups from the cake shop.
Zhang Mengjia sat elegantly with her hands on the knees of her legs, which were neatly placed side by side.
"I heard Miss Yao is a butcher, the kind who cuts up pork with a knife in the market?"
"It's very dirty. It's usually full of blood, pig hair and other things. It's a pity for Miss Yao's delicate appearance."
"If Miss Yao doesn't mind, we can provide you with an easy job.
Zhang Mengjia picked up the teacup and took a sip elegantly, then gently put it down. "This white porcelain cup has a nice design, but it's a pity to use it with tea. This cup is more suitable for coffee, don't you think, Miss Yao?"
"It's better not to force two incompatible things to match."
Yao Qiyue shifted her gaze from the coffee cup in her hand to Zhang Mengjia with a gloomy look.
"This white porcelain cup belongs to me at home. I want to use it to serve my son's poop, but you can't stop me."
Yao Qiyue was trying to sit upright, but when she heard Zhang Mengjia's words, she knew that she was up to no good. She suddenly placed her left leg lightly on her right leg, and swayed her toes gently. Crossing her legs looked a bit vulgar, just like the words she said.
Zhang Mengjia was a little stunned. She opened her mouth and closed it again. She seemed to feel that there was nothing good to say to someone as vulgar as Yao Qiyue. She also felt that the white porcelain cup in her hand looked disgusting. The elegance she had when she first came was gone. She looked at Yao Qiyue with contempt.
Jiang Ye put down his cup and helped Yao Qiyue speak: "You guys have inquired about my wife's work clearly. I'm sure you also know that I'm a live-in son-in-law. Everything in this house is bought by my wife."
Lu Zhian had been here for two days and had a good understanding of what kind of people Yao Qiyue and Jiang Ye were. He tried to smooth things over vaguely, "Old Zhang, didn't you and your wife come here to apologize? Why are you saying such harsh words?"
Lin Songshan had been silent the entire time, but now he couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Didn't my husband and I come here with sincerity? It's this woman who doesn't know what's good for her."
"We're just trying to help her find a new job, what's wrong with that?"
Lu Zhian choked and thought to himself that your condescending attitude is not right. Who would come to apologize like this? You are like a different person as soon as you enter the house.
Lin Wanru tugged at Zhang Mengjia's sleeve, stood up pitifully, tears in her eyes: "Brother, I know Sister Yao is still angry with me. It's all my fault. Since you don't welcome us, we'll leave first."
Yao Qiyue rolled her eyes. Was Lin Wanru planning to switch to a green tea style? It seemed this incident had really irritated her.
Jiang Ye didn't hear it, and actually stood up to see him off: "Since you want to leave, then go. Next time, don't treat my wife like this."
Yao Qiyue: "..."
Lin Wanru didn't want to cry at first, but after hearing what Jiang Ye said, she couldn't help but feel sad, and her tears flowed like broken strings.
"Brother, do you hate me so much?"
