"Even if you don't trust your sister-in-law, you have to trust your second brother, right?"
"Do you think your second brother is the kind of person who would just sit back and wait to be bullied and plotted against?"
That must not be the case!
Growing up, Lin Wenhui had never seen her second brother suffer a loss.
So this time...
Her eyes became brighter and brighter, and Lin Wenhui was hit on the forehead.
Su Lixuan stood up and said, "Let's go."
Lin Wenhui asked stupidly, "Why are you leaving?"
Su Lixuan said helplessly: "Go and pack up. This is my first time meeting my stepfather-in-law, so I have to be fully prepared."
Li Yanhong's curiosity was piqued, and she stood up eager to try: "I'll go with you guys, I want to watch the fun!"
She wanted to see what Lin Yuanshan was planning to do with this Hongmen Banquet...
At this moment, the Lin family also had the same doubts.
In the room, the new daughter-in-law of the Lin family, Qi Xue, the wife that Lin Yuanshan’s stepson Lin Jialiang had just married, was sitting on the bed with a pout.
Holding a mirror in one hand and a burnt matchstick in the other, he casually drew his eyebrows.
Hearing someone open the door and come in, she said coldly: "Lin Jialiang, close the door after you come in."
Hearing this, Lin Jialiang closed the door tightly and came over happily.
"Wife, can you hear my footsteps now? You know it's me without even turning your head."
Qi Xue didn't say anything and didn't even look at him.
Lin Jialiang touched his nose after getting so bored. "Wife, are you still angry?"
"What do you think?" Qi Xue got angry when this was mentioned and threw the matchstick in her hand to the ground.
"Lin Jialiang, who was it that promised me so clearly that you would accompany me to the department store today?"
She imitated the tone of Lin Jialiang's previous promise to her and repeated it sarcastically: "You also said that as long as it is something I like and I want to buy, you can get it for me!"
"What's the result?"
Qi Xue's eyes were red. "Just before I left, you told me that you couldn't go to the department store today because your second brother was coming over for dinner with his new wife."
"And let me help mom prepare it."
Qi Xue was so angry that she hit him and said in a low voice: "She is a new daughter-in-law, and I am also a new daughter-in-law. Why should I serve her?"
"And why did they have to come today? They have no tact at all and don't care if the host family is okay."
Lin Jialiang was helpless: "Wife, you are being unreasonable. It was obviously Dad who asked Wenhui to call her."
"Dad made the decision, and there's nothing I can do about it. It's not like I'm going to go back on my word on purpose."
Having said this, he laughed meaningfully and glanced at the tightly closed door.
He hugged Qi Xue and whispered, "So when you said 'you have no tact' just now, were you scolding Dad?"
Qi Xue broke away from him: "I didn't say that, stop throwing dirty water on me."
With another ambiguous laugh, Lin Jialiang shook his head and said lovingly, "It's okay. We can talk behind closed doors, and Dad can't hear us. Even if you really scold Dad, I can't be angry with you."
Reaching out and pinching Qi Xue's nose, Lin Jialiang said in an ambiguous tone: "Who made you my wife? Isn't being a biological daughter-in-law closer to me than being a stepfather?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qi Xue blushed and pushed him. "We're still at your parents' house. Be careful with your words. It would be bad if someone heard you."
Lin Jialiang chuckled: "It's okay, I have Mom. Lin Yuanshan has been under her control for so many years."
"Didn't you see that my stepson and his biological son got married right after each other? Lin Yuanshan was busy arranging things for my stepson, but when it came to his biological son's wedding... tsk, he didn't even show up."
"What do you call it?" He smiled smugly. "It's called treating me better than your own children."
"So today he arranged to have his own son over for dinner. Wait, he must have some plan."
"As long as there's a plan, won't we be the ones who benefit in the end?"
Seeing Qi Xue's expression relax, Lin Jialiang chuckled and pinched her nose again: "Are you stupid? You can't turn around such a small thing?"
Qi Xue stretched out her fair and tender hand and said coquettishly, "I'm not angry about this. I'm angry that you made me work without saying a word. My parents don't let me work at home."
"When I married into your family, you said you would let me live a good life with you, but after only a few days of marriage, I have to work as a servant."
Damn servant.
Lin Jialiang grabbed the little hand in front of him and put it to his mouth and kissed it: "I told you you're stupid and you still don't accept it."
"Did your parents tell you to be a servant? They told you to help entertain guests. Why? Because you're the hostess. If a guest comes, shouldn't you entertain them as the hostess?"
Thinking of what his wife had said just now, Lin Jialiang found it funny: "What do you mean by serving? Who asked you to serve that second-rate guy and his wife? They don't deserve it."
"You will wear your new clothes later and dress up as you like. You will look pretty and I, your man, will be proud too."
"When that scoundrel comes, let him see how beautiful my wife is."
This is not to be considered as arrogant.
Time passed quickly and the sun was setting.
In the living room, Lin Yuanshan's later wife Chen Fei looked at the clock on the wall anxiously.
"Lao Lin, why hasn't Wenhui come back yet? She's been out all day."
She was anxious, but Lin Yuanshan was calm and collected: "Don't you know Li Yanhong? She always thinks that I, as a father, abuse my own daughter. My daughter finally came back, and she refused to let her go until dark."
Chen Fei and Lin Jialiang, mother and son, looked at each other when they heard this.
Chen Fei pretended to hesitate: "But Lao Lin, I have already prepared the meal. I have been busy all day."
"After all, we are the elders. We can't skip meals just to wait for the younger generation to come, right? I'm fine, but you're not in good health. You can't go hungry. You'll faint if you're hungry."
Lin Jialiang agreed: "Yes, Dad, we just need to wait. It's a big honor for Mom, an elder, to wait. It's already late. Don't wait any longer. Your body can't bear it."
The mother and son sang in unison, and their words were full of concern for Lin Yuanshan.
For some reason, Lin Yuanshan felt unhappy.
He's not even my own son, but I know how to take care of his health and that he will faint if he's hungry.
But what about your own son and daughter?
They are all ungrateful!
Lin Yuanshan's face was not good. He glanced at the clock on the wall, stood up and waved his hand: "No more waiting, let's eat."
Chen Fei's face showed even more hesitation. She wiped her hands awkwardly on her apron. "Xiao Zhan and the others haven't arrived yet. It's okay for you to eat alone. But if we all start eating... I'm afraid Xiao Zhan will be unhappy and think we don't respect him."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said that, but after she said that, Lin Yuanshan became even angrier!
"Respect him? Why should he be respected when he's such a jerk? We asked him to come over for dinner today, but he made the whole family wait for him. He doesn't even want to be treated respectfully. So why should we respect him?"
