Chapter 138

Yu's mother came down from the stairs, holding a pot of flowers in her hand, followed by Yu's father.

Yu Xue was curious and reached out to touch it.

Yu's mother slapped him and said, "Don't touch anything."

Nan Tao took a closer look and said, "Is this something the gardener just planted? It's quite pretty. Mom, what is this flower called?"

Yu's mother: "Green Kona Camellia."

Nan Tao chuckled, "Hahaha, there is actually a name like that. Isn't the abbreviation Green Camellia?"

Yu's mother placed the flowers on the tea table and said, "My best friend will be here later, so stop talking nonsense."

After a while, the housekeeper led people into the living room.

The woman was wearing a green cheongsam that outlined her beautiful figure. Her long black hair was piled high, revealing her cool facial features and a cold and elegant temperament.

Liu Yan glanced at the people present, paused for a moment when her eyes fell on Yu's father, and smiled at Yu's mother. "I hope you don't mind my sudden visit."

Nan Tao complained in her heart.

[You knew it was coming so suddenly but didn't tell me in advance. It's obvious that you did it on purpose. 】

[No wonder it's green tea. Even her clothes are green. Isn't that very green?]

[Tsk tsk, no wonder my mother-in-law couldn't find out. Who would have thought that you can only look at a person's face but not his heart? He looks so cool but does such shameless things. ]

[My poor mother-in-law, my poor father-in-law.]

Following her daughter-in-law's words, Yu's mother looked Liu Yan up and down, and when she heard the last complaint, she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Liu Yan felt uneasy and took the initiative to speak up to break the silence: "Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

Yu's mother smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years. I feel like I almost don't recognize you anymore."

Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief and began to reminisce about the past following this topic, narrowing the distant distance between the two of them.

Yu's mother watched Liu Yan's performance quietly, smiling but not saying a word.

Liu Yan was so dry-mouthed that she didn't say a word to Yu's mother. She was a little annoyed and seemed to be trying to curry favor with her father. She looked at Yu's father with a wronged look and said with a wry smile, "I thought we both cherished the memories of the past, but I didn't expect..."

The following words were left unsaid, but the hint was clearly expressed.

Nan Tao couldn't help but complain.

【This, this, this... is really very tea-like. 】

[If she doesn’t say it herself, it doesn’t count as her saying it. As for what others understand, it has nothing to do with her. But she has to match it with this expression, tsk tsk tsk…]

[The rank is so high, no wonder no one has discovered it. 】

Yu's mother said casually, "What did you think of?"

Liu Yan sighed, seeming to be very sad, "Nothing."

Yu's mother smiled. "Nothing means nothing. I thought we could talk about anything, but I didn't expect that... Forget it. I won't force it."

Liu Yan: “…”

Nan Tao gave a thumbs up in her heart.

[Mother-in-law is awesome, mother-in-law is mighty. ]

【The most effective way to deal with green tea is to play straight. 】

[Hahaha, Green Tea's face has changed. She must be cursing her mother in her heart.]

The corners of Yu's mother's lips rose slightly, and her eyes were filled with smiles.

Liu Yan had a gloomy face, but she had to suppress it and forced a smile, "I've been a bad talker since I was a kid, you know that, don't think too much, I just care too much about our friendship, just now when I recalled the past, I saw that you didn't talk to me, I thought that you and I had become estranged after not contacting each other for so many years."

Mother Yu said calmly, "You think too much."

Liu Yan couldn't figure out what Yu's mother was thinking and felt anxious.

I had originally planned to take it step by step, but now it seems I have to speed up my pace as I am worried that something unexpected might happen if I do it for too long.

But they dare not make their purpose too obvious, and they just talk about all sorts of irrelevant things.

Nan Tao felt drowsy after listening to the lecture and played with her phone out of boredom.

By the end of the conversation, it was getting dark.

Liu Yan finally couldn't help but ask, "How are you taking care of the flower I gave you recently? Is it okay?"

Nan Tao perked up instantly, straightened his back, and his eyes became bright.

[I remember that I was supposed to deliberately say that I had nowhere to stay for a few days, so that I could seduce my father-in-law and observe where my mother-in-law put the flowers. Later, I found them in the bedroom. I never took the initiative to ask from beginning to end.]

[Why has it changed so much now? Is there any cat pus? ]

[Are you so impatient because you are afraid that others won't notice it? ]

[It's too obvious.]

Mother Yu glared at Father Yu with a half-smile.

Father Yu had a blank expression on his face. He held his wife's hand and played with it on his knees.

The two showed their affection, and everyone present was fed up with laughter.

Liu Yan's chest heaved with anger, and her eyes were filled with jealousy. It was not until she heard a sharp metallic sound in her head that she calmed down.

"I have raised this flower for many years. It is very precious. I give it to you as a token of our friendship. I hope you can take good care of it."

Mother Yu smiled and said, "I value it very much. I even put it in my bedroom to keep it."

Suddenly, he changed the subject and sighed, "If you think I can't keep it alive, why don't I give it back to you? You cherish it so much, what if I accidentally kill it?"

Liu Yan: “…”

I tried to force a smile: "It's okay, it's easy to take care of, just let it see the sun more. I've given it to you, it's not appropriate to ask for it back."

Yu's mother pretended to be worried, "Then if I kill him, you can't blame me. After all, this is a symbol of our friendship, right?"

Liu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "How could I blame you? This flower has strong vitality and will not die easily."

Nan Tao complained in her heart.

[Isn't it just stubbornness? ]

[Even after being doused with so much poisonous water, he is still alive and well. He is really very stubborn. 】

[Alas, how can I remind my mother-in-law? ]

When Yu's mother heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched. Afraid that she could not hold back her laughter, she reached out and pushed the flowers on the tea table in front of Liu Yan.

Liu Yan was puzzled, "What is this?"

Mother Yu: "You gave me your favorite flowers, I feel bad. This flower is my favorite, so I give it to you. I hope our friendship will last forever, just like this flower."

Nan Tao stared at the flowers in confusion.

[Hey, aren't these the flowers the gardener just brought? ]

[Is this really my mother-in-law’s favorite flower? ]

[It feels a little weird. ]

Nan Tao looked at Yu's mother.

Yu's mother looked very serious, and seemed reluctant to let go.

Then he turned around and looked at Liu Yan.

Liu Yan pretended to be touched, but her eyes were full of pride.

Liu Yan: "That's not a good idea. After all, it's your favorite flower."

Yu's mother smiled and said, "You are my best friend. It's just a pot of flowers. What's wrong with that? You can give me your favorite flowers, so why can't I give them up?"

Liu Yan: "It's my fault. I was wondering if you no longer considered me your best friend, but I didn't expect that you still consider me your best friend. I will never doubt your friendship for me again."

Mother Yu was touched and said, "I hope you can keep flowers in your bedroom, and I will keep flowers in my bedroom too, so that when we see the flowers, we can think of each other. What do you think?"

Without thinking, Liu Yan said impatiently: "Of course I agree. Don't worry, I will keep the flowers well in the bedroom and take pictures for you every day. Then you can rest assured. If you can also take pictures for me..."

Yu's mother smiled and said, "Don't worry, we can exchange photos every day. It will be wonderful."

Liu Yan was so excited that she almost knocked over the cup in her hand. "Then it's settled."

Nan Tao felt like the sky was falling.

【No. 】

[Isn't this the same as locking the flower in the bedroom? ]

[No, we need to think of a way.]

Nan Tao reached out and pulled on Yu's mother's sleeve.

Mother Yu's eyes were gentle and she smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Nan Tao whispered, "Mom, don't you have a greenhouse? The environment in the greenhouse is better. It's not easy to keep pets in the bedroom."

Mother Yu patted Nan Tao's hand and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan."

Liu Yan knew that Nan Tao was a difficult character to deal with. Although she didn't hear what was said, she could roughly guess what was said, which was something like flower pots cannot be placed in the bedroom.

But judging from the expression on Yu's mother's face, she probably didn't agree.

Liu Yan interrupted their conversation and said, "I accepted the flowers."

As he spoke, he picked up the flowerpot and placed it on the ground at his feet.

Liu Yan asked casually: "What is this flower called? It's quite beautiful."

Yu's mother smiled: "Green Kona Camellia".

Liu Yan: “……???”

Nan Tao couldn't help but say, "Why not call it Green Tea? Isn't it nice to listen to?"

Yu Xue added: "It suits you very well."

Liu Yan was so angry that her chest hurt.

Is this a hint, a hint, or a hint?

Liu Yan's eyes were red with grievance, and her cold temperament suddenly became soft and tender, making people want to protect her. She looked at Yu's father with a charming look in her eyes: "Do you think so too?"

As she spoke, she slightly turned her head to show the most beautiful left face to Yu's father's sight. At the same time, she lifted the loose hair on the left side of her face and tucked it behind her ear.

The posture is elegant, the movements are graceful, and very attractive.

Nan Tao was very angry.

[Do you think we are all blind? It is shameless to flirt with someone so blatantly. 】

[At this age, he is still so pretentious. He almost vomited the rice he had left over from the previous night. 】

[Really, I feel so sorry for my mother-in-law. ]

[Although my father-in-law is a very good person, I am still very angry when I think about how he has been indulging this ugly woman since my mother-in-law passed away, even if I was deceived.]

Mother Yu glared at Father Yu again and pulled her hand away.

Father Yu felt innocent, his expression became increasingly cold, and he looked at Liu Yan as if she were a dead person.

Liu Yan felt the gazes falling on her, and she looked shy. She lowered her head slightly, revealing her slender swan neck.

Father Yu's face was gloomy, as if covered with thunderclouds.

Nan Tao poked Yu Xue with her elbow and whispered, "I think our father is angry, what do you think?"

Yu Xue was very sure: "I guarantee that he is angry, and very angry."

The two looked at each other, then turned to look at Liu Yan who was sitting opposite them, their heads full of questions.

That night, Liu Yan failed to stay at Yu's house as she wished, and left angrily with Green Tea Flowers.

But overall, I am quite satisfied with today's harvest.

One is to confirm that the flowers are placed in the bedroom, and the other is to perceive that the man is beneficial to her.

In this way, the subsequent plans will be implemented more smoothly.

After Liu Yan left with a cold and arrogant attitude, Nan Tao grabbed Yu's mother's arm, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.

Yu's mother patted Nan Tao's head and said, "It's an adult matter, kid, don't think too much about it."

Nan Tao muttered, "I'm not a child anymore, Mom. She doesn't look like a good person. It's better to send that flower to the garden."

Yu Xue agreed like a little bug: "Yes, yes."

Mother Yu stood up with a smile: "Your father and I know what's going on. You two should eat and drink as you please. If you think too much, you won't grow tall."

Yu's mother went upstairs, and Yu's father followed closely behind.

Yu Xue tilted her head, "Sister-in-law, what does mom mean?"

Nan Tao rubbed her chin, "Could it be that Mom knows something? It doesn't feel right."

Yu Xue's heart skipped a beat and a guess flashed through her mind.

Then he shook his head and thought, how could such a weird thing be allowed to happen in public? My mother should be different.

Nan Tao slept at Yu's house that night and rushed to the crew to film early the next morning.

Perhaps relying on their CP characters, Qiu Jun and Gu Xuan acted even more unscrupulously in front of the crew members.

For some unknown reason, Gu Xuan cooperated very well.

Qiu Jun and Gu Xuan have frequently appeared on hot searches on all major online platforms, and many netizens have joined the army of sugar-eating.

Gu Xuan's fame is also rising step by step, whether it is endorsements or variety shows, he has more than before.

As for Park Moon-bin, he has almost disappeared and no one knows what he is doing.

In a blink of an eye, it is New Year’s Eve.

Nan Tao's family of three had dinner at Yu's house and slept there that night.

The next day is the new year, New Year's Day.

The Yu family celebrates the New Year at noon.

Mr. Yu and his son had a deep relationship with the deceased old lady. They had three sons. The eldest son was Mr. Yu, the second son was Uncle Yu, and the youngest was Aunt Yu.

This year, Yu Xiaogu did not come back to celebrate the New Year. She was busy expanding her business overseas, a typical strong woman.

Since Uncle Yu discovered that Aunt Yu had cheated on him at the last banquet, he fell seriously ill and spent a long time fighting for divorce with Aunt Yu, dividing the property in half.

Yu Meng looked much more cheerful than before, with her hair cut short, revealing her delicate eyebrows and eyes.

After finishing the New Year’s Eve dinner at Yu’s residence, Nan Tao and her family of three went to Nan’s residence.

Fortunately, it is in the same city and the drive takes no more than an hour.

The Nan family usually celebrates the New Year on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year.

This was also the case with the Nantao family in previous years, celebrating the New Year at the Yu family at noon and at the Nan family at night.

It’s quite fun to celebrate two New Years in one day.

On the second day of the New Year, Nan Tao slept until noon.

When I went downstairs, I found that Sister Lu Yao was there too.

I never thought that my brother would actually succeed in wooing Sister Lu Yao.

Nan Tao smiled and teased the two of them, "Can I call you sister-in-law now?"

Lu Yao blushed.

Nan Bo smiled and said, "I don't mind."

Lu Yao's face turned even redder, and she reached out and pinched Nan Bo's arm.

Nan Bo hissed, pretending to be in pain.

Lu Yao regretted it and asked quickly with a distressed look on his face if it was urgent.

Nan Tao simply couldn't bear to watch it and jumped away.

The crew had very little time off and started working on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Nan Tao really wanted to skip work, but there was no other way. What else could she do? She had agreed to film the movie, so she had to go to work even if she had to hold her nose.

The filming days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Nan Tao and Yu Zhengyang drew lots to decide whose house to go to for dinner.

This is also an old tradition. You go to whoever's house you catch the fish from and eat it.

In the past two years, the one caught was Nanzhai, and this year, the one caught in Nantao was Yuzhai.

When Nan Tao saw Yu's mother, she acted coquettishly.

"Mom, you and Dad have spent so much time at home this year. I wish it would always be like this in the future."

Yu Xue hugged her mother's arm and said coquettishly, "I agree with what my sister-in-law said."

Yu's father and mother did not leave too early this year, mainly because they were worried about Liu Yan, a time bomb, and worried that it would have some adverse effects on their children at home, so they decided to get rid of Liu Yan before going abroad.

Yu's father has asked someone to check for Liu Yan's whereabouts. The strange thing is that after ten years of no contact, Liu Yan seems to have disappeared from the world, without any trace of her life.

Liu Yan's husband and son died in a car accident, but the information found was also very vague.

Yu's mother tried to carefully recall her past with Liu Yan, but she couldn't remember anything. She only vaguely remembered that she had such a good friend. Many of the details of her memory were told by Liu Yan when she came to her house a few days ago.

Nan Tao shook her finger in front of Yu's mother, "Mom, what are you thinking about?"

Yu's mother came to her senses and said, "It's nothing, go in."

Old Master Yu sat in the seat of honor and said sternly, "Everyone is here, please sit down." Then he asked the butler to serve the dishes.

Yu's mother reminded him, "Dad, Xiaoer hasn't come yet."

Old Master Yu frowned and looked at Yu Meng, "Where is your father?"

Yu Meng: "He hasn't been home recently, I don't know."

Old Master Yu was angry and said, "Unfilial son, I won't wait for him anymore, let's eat."

As soon as he finished speaking, Uncle Yu's voice came from outside, getting closer and closer, becoming clearer and clearer.

Everyone thought that Uncle Yu came alone. After all, today was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and they were having a family dinner. No one expected that he would bring outsiders with him.

When Nan Tao saw the woman next to Uncle Yu, she was stunned and couldn't believe it.

[This, this, this..., it's actually Liu Yan? 】

[So these two people know each other? I don’t think they do.]

[Second Uncle Yu is a scumbag. He relies on his wealth to do all kinds of things with women. He is not good to the women around him. Who would have thought that he would be so servile to Liu Yan? ]
