Chen Shufang chatted downstairs for a while, then quickly made an excuse to go home and cook.
Wow, these people are so talkative.
Opening the door, I saw the brother and sister sitting obediently in chairs doing their homework, while Han Ting and his wife were nowhere to be seen.
"An'an, where are Mommy and Daddy?"
An'an silently pointed to her father standing at the kitchen door.
Chen Shufang didn't take it to heart, after all, her son was very attached to his wife.
Putting down what he was holding, he said, "You and your sister do your homework first."
He tugged at Chen Shufang's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Grandma, it seems like Dad is bullying Mom."
Chen Shufang stared wide-eyed in surprise. "This can't be!"
But seeing her grandson's anxious face, she felt it didn't seem fake.
"Don't worry, Grandma will go take a look."
The kitchen entrance is so small that Han Ting could easily fill it all by himself.
"What are you doing standing at the door? You're blocking the way."
Before he could say anything, they kicked him out.
"Go and help the two kids with their homework." She winked at him as she spoke.
Su Jingjing tried her best to act as usual in front of her mother-in-law. "Mom, we only need one more dish of scrambled eggs with scallions before we can start eating."
"I trust you to do things properly. I'll go wash the dishes."
Looking at the two dishes and soup on the table, which looked and smelled delicious, Chen Shufang couldn't help but marvel at her daughter-in-law's excellent cooking skills.
At the dinner table, Chen Shufang also noticed something amiss. Han Ting kept trying to please Jingjing, but Jingjing seemed unmoved.
Alright, the two of them definitely had a fight.
After the meal, Li Hanting took the initiative to clear the dishes, saying, "Mom, wife, I'll wash the dishes. You two rest."
"Alright, now that you're back, you can have the bowl and chopsticks."
Chen Shufang is not a traditional person and does not restrict her son from entering the kitchen.
After her son entered the kitchen, she couldn't wait to ask, "Jingjing, did you and Hanting have a fight?"
Su Jingjing paused, then looked up at her mother-in-law. "Mom, nothing like that."
How come everyone noticed?
Chen Shufang saw right through it, "Mom can see it clearly. You two are obviously having a conflict. Usually, your eyes are always glued to each other, but today something is definitely off."
Su Jingjing didn't want to tell anyone about the confession she had received. "Mom, we just have a little bit of a disagreement, you don't need to worry too much."
"As long as the two of you know your limits, that's fine."
Chen Shufang didn't want to interfere too much in the young couple's affairs.
After lunch break, Su Jingjing slung her bag over her shoulder and headed to school.
"Honey, I'll take you there."
Li Hanting kept circling around her, and the feeling of wanting to touch her but being afraid of making her even angrier was too painful.
Just as Su Jingjing was about to refuse, Chen Shufang hurriedly spoke up for her son, "Yes, Jingjing, it's rare for him to have a day off, let him deliver it."
An'an also became her father's wingman, saying, "Mom, let Dad deliver something nicer."
Under pressure from both her mother-in-law and son, Su Jingjing did not refuse again.
However, this time she did not sit in the passenger seat, but in the back seat.
"Honey, I'm not used to it when you're not sitting in the front."
Li Hanting turned his head back and lowered his voice.
"I'm going to be late."
Su Jingjing avoided the man's gaze; she couldn't easily soften her heart.
Otherwise, the man will misunderstand her again next time.
If two people want to live together for a lifetime, they cannot have any suspicions.
Li Hanting glanced down at his watch; it was indeed getting late. He then started the car and drove away.
The car stopped fifty meters from the school gate; Su Jingjing didn't want to cause a commotion.
Li Hanting rolled down the car window and stared at her retreating figure, feeling incredibly annoyed with his actions today.
When Li Yuehuan saw the familiar car in the distance, she quickly moved a little distance away from Lu Shen.
“Lu Shen, that’s my second brother’s car. If he sees me with you, I’m doomed.”
"You go in first, I'll come in later."
"Okay." After spending some time together, Lu Shen had a basic understanding of Huanhuan's family.
With his eldest brother in politics, his second brother in the military, and his father a high-ranking official, it seems he has to work twice as hard to be worthy of the girl.
Only after Lu Shen's figure was no longer visible did Li Yuehuan tiptoe towards the car.
"Second brother, when did you get back?"
Li Hanting said succinctly, "Good morning."
He carefully examined his younger sister's face. "Did you go back to the old house at noon?"
Li Yuehuan was startled and hurriedly replied, "Of course...of course."
Actually, that's not the case. She spent lunch with Lu Shen.
Oh no, I hope my second brother won't investigate.
Li Hanting didn't delve into the matter; he was currently troubled by his wife ignoring him.
"Huanhuan, do your second brother a favor."
She hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Oh, okay."
It's really strange that my second brother still has something to trouble her with.
As Li Yuehuan walked through the campus, her second brother's words kept replaying in her mind.
Huanhuan, your second brother has upset your sister-in-law. Can you put in a good word for him?
She felt a little schadenfreude, but she would still try her best to speak well of her second brother, after all, she didn't want the two of them to fall out.
During the break between classes, Li Yuehuan rushed off to find Su Jingjing.
"Jingjing, your sister-in-law is here to see you." Yezi nudged Su Jingjing, who was quietly writing.
Su Jingjing's eyes flickered, and she put down her pen and walked out of the classroom.
"Huanhuan, why didn't you come home for lunch?"
She had just escaped her second brother's watchful eye, but little did she know that her second sister-in-law was waiting for her.
"I went out with Lu Shen at noon. I lied to my second brother and said I went back to the old house. You have to keep it a secret for me."
She held up three fingers to swear, "Don't worry, we haven't crossed any lines."
"Oh dear, second sister-in-law, the most important thing right now is your relationship with second brother."
Did your second brother make you angry?
Su Jingjing countered, "You saw him at the door just now. Did he ask you to come and act as a mediator?"
Li Yuehuan gave an awkward smile, "Second sister-in-law, nothing's wrong. I just felt that second brother seemed to be feeling a little unwell. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just a small disagreement."
Just then, the bell rang. "Go back to class now."
"Oh well."
After school in the afternoon, Li Yuehuan asked Su Jingjing to go home together.
As soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I saw my second brother standing next to the car again.
"Sister-in-law, your second brother has come to pick you up."
Li Hanting stepped forward and said, "Wife, I've come to take you home."
After a two-second silence, Li Yuehuan quickly smoothed things over, "Second sister-in-law, you should take second brother's car home first. I suddenly remembered that I have something to do."
As she spoke, she pushed the person into her second brother's arms.
Su Jingjing was caught off guard and fell into the man's arms. He took the opportunity to put his hand on her waist and said in a low voice, "Let go."
Li Hanting shamelessly said, "Wife, Huanhuan is still watching."
"Hehe, Second Sister-in-law, I won't bother you anymore."
Su Jingjing quickly reminded Huanhuan, "Remember to come home early."
Li Yuehuan waved as she ran.
Can you let go now?
She looked up and asked coldly. Luckily, no one passed by in this spot, otherwise she would have been surrounded by onlookers.
