Chapter 167 Zhou Yanli takes his wife and daughter out for a trip for the first time
Lin Shu didn't expect Jiang Hai to hang up the phone.
He promised to teach her algorithms, so he wouldn't go back on his word.
On the weekend, she got herself ready and Zhou Shuang stayed at home waiting for her to wake up.
Lin Shu came down from upstairs, and Zhou Shuang looked at her very happily.
"Mommy, I brushed my teeth and ate breakfast, and I finished my homework. Are you going to take me out to play today?"
She was eagerly waiting for her mommy to come back and take her out to play.
Lin Shu nodded and went to the restaurant to eat, accidentally glancing at the bouquet of flowers in the trash can.
Sister Xi also took a look. It was the bouquet that her husband brought back for his wife yesterday and threw it into the trash can. Sister Xi saw that the bouquet was still fresh and did not dare to throw it away, so she just let it lie there.
"The flowers were bought by the husband. Maybe he wanted to give them to his wife."
Lin Shu's expression was indifferent. Give it to her?
Oh--
It's unlikely. Was it sent to the trash can?
Jiang Hai has woken up in the hospital.
When he opened his eyes, he saw his crying mother, his father who was suppressing his anger, and Zhou Yanli's mother, his aunt.
"Wake up, wake up, Ah Hai. You are not allowed to go out and fool around with those people anymore. Look how drunk you were. You almost ended up in the intensive care unit. Do you want to scare your mother to death?"
Mrs. Jiang's eyes were filled with tears. Jiang Feng wanted to scold Jiang Hai, but Mrs. Jiang glared at him. He could only say, "It's good that you're awake. Let your mother tell you that I'm back at the company."
Jiang Mingling has been staying by the side, with the same expression as every day for ten years, and it is impossible to tell whether she is happy or angry.
"Aunt, my brother has gone crazy recently."
The first thing Jiang Hai said when he woke up was Zhou Yanli. Mrs. Jiang still had tears in her eyes. Jiang Mingling frowned, not understanding what Jiang Hai said.
"Are you drunk, kid? Your cousin came to see you early in the morning. Why are you still mad at him?"
Mrs. Jiang reached out to touch Jiang Hai's forehead, fearing that he was drunk and had lost his mind.
Jiang Hai slapped his mother's hand away and poured out his grievances to Jiang Mingling.
"My brother got me drunk all night yesterday. Do you think he's had a breakup recently? Why would he want to kill me?"
Jiang Mingling and Mrs. Jiang's faces darkened at the same time.
Jiang Hai touched the mattress while speaking: "Where's my phone?"
In the villa
When Zhou Yanli came back and saw Lin Shu changed into going-out clothes, his eyes instantly turned cold.
"Where are you going?"
Zhou Shuang just ran down from upstairs.
"Mommy, take me out to play."
She blinked her clear big eyes and looked at Zhou Yanli.
When Zhou Yanli heard that Lin Shu was going to take Zhou Shuang out to play, his expression softened a little.
He picked up the car keys again: "Where are you going? I'll go with you."
Lin Shu tripped and almost fell into Zhou Yanli's arms.
Zhou Yanli: "What's wrong? You can't even walk steadily, like a child."
He reached out and held her firmly: "Do you want me to carry you to the car?"
Lin Shu was frightened and ran away faster than a rabbit.
Lin Shu: "Zhou Yanli, go see him if you're sick."
Then he pulled Zhou Shuang out the door.
Zhou Yanli played with Lin Shu and Zhou Shuang for the whole morning. When they went to the restaurant for lunch at noon, he took out his cell phone and found that there were nearly a hundred missed calls from Jiang Mingling.
Zhou Yanli asked the waiter to let Lin Shu order the food, but Lin Shu ignored her and just let Zhou Shuang order what she liked.
The phone was placed on the table for two seconds when Jiang Mingling called again.
Zhou Yanli answered: "Ms. Jiang, what can I do for you?"
"Are you crazy? You sent Jiang Hai to the hospital?"
For the first time, Jiang Mingling's voice lost its true tone.
Every time he encountered her family, Zhou Yanli would get to see his mother, who was always calm and composed and could even control her tears gracefully and noblely when his father died, break down.
"Well, I'll go back for dinner tonight. Remember to ask your nephew to come along. I plan to have a good chat with him."
Jiang Mingling was almost livid, and Lin Shu was busy taking care of Zhou Shuang and didn't bother to care who Zhou Yanli was talking to on the phone.
Zhou Yanli looked at the snacks on the table and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Do you like to eat this?"
Lin Shu glanced at him and said, "Well, I'm not picky. Just looking at it makes me full."
Zhou Yanli re-ordered the dishes: "I remember you like steak and seafood, so just order whatever you want."
The waiter soon filled the table.
Lin Shu didn't hesitate to pick out some of her favorite dishes. Zhou Yanli served her throughout the meal. When Lin Shu was eating the shrimp, some juice got on the corner of her lips. Zhou Yanli took out a tissue and gently wiped it for her.
"Slower--"
“…”
The shrimp in Lin Shu's hand fell onto the plate. Zhou Yanli frowned, "Do you want to peel it?"
Zhou Shuang looked at Daddy and then at Mommy, and then said, "Daddy, I want to peel it too."
Lin Shu moved to the side, the corners of his lips twitching.
"Zhou Yanli, go to the hospital."
ill--
"Is it more enjoyable to drink with Jiang Hai than to eat with me?"
The shrimp in Lin Shu's hand fell onto the plate again. She raised her eyes. He deliberately didn't want her to have a normal meal.
Wait a moment.
Rivers and seas?
That old K?
"You—know?"
Wouldn't he know Lao K? No, it was Jiang Hai. He called that man Jiang Hai.
Zhou Yanli peeled the shrimps carelessly, stretched out his arm and fed the shrimp meat to Lin Shu's mouth.
"Be good, open your mouth."
Lin Shu opened his mouth unconsciously and was fed by Zhou Yanli in a daze.
"You haven't answered me yet."
Lin Shu was a little annoyed. What did he mean? Was he bringing her and her daughter out for dinner for the first time in six years just to accuse her?
She stood up and tried to leave her seat, but Zhou Yanli's legs crossed over to block her way.
Lin Shu stayed where she was without moving. If she went out directly, she would have to pass by Zhou Yanli. As long as he made the slightest movement, she would fall into his arms without any surprise, and might even sit directly on his lap.
"Daddy, Mommy, don't you want to eat?"
Zhou Shuang also noticed that something was wrong with Daddy and Mommy.
Zhou Yanli peeled a shrimp for his daughter and put it on a plate, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Shu.
"Shuangshuang, eat. Daddy is talking to Mommy."
Lin Shu instantly lost his appetite.
"I have a dinner date with Mom tonight. You and Shuangshuang can go with me."
Zhou Yanli did not continue to ask about Jiang Hai, and Lin Shu certainly would not be stupid enough to ask Zhou Yanli in return.
She just felt a chill in her heart.
"I'm not familiar with your mother, so you should take Shuangshuang with you."
Going to Jiang Mingling's house for dinner? She had never been to her mother-in-law's house in six years of marriage, and she didn't want to bring bad luck to the divorce.
"We're going to the amusement park this afternoon. Mom asked me to invite you and Jiang Hai along."
Lin Shu was stunned.
He asked Jiang Hai to go to Jiang Mingling's house for dinner?
Lin Shu was absent-minded the entire afternoon.
She kept thinking about Jiang Hai. Jiang Hai and Jiang Mingling both believed in Jiang, so what kind of relatives were they?
Lin Shu felt a headache.
Zhou Yanli was so absorbed in taking his wife and daughter out for fun that Lin Shu had lost interest in the matter.
Zhou Shuang was having a lot of fun, only occasionally whispering to Zhou Yanli.
"Daddy, why don't you take me and Aunt Wenxin with you instead of taking Mommy with you?"
Zhou Yanli touched her little head and said, "Yeah."
And then nothing happened.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Zhou Shuang gave up. Anyway, it was good to be with her mommy now. Mommy didn't nag her anymore, and she would play games with her and wouldn't stop her from eating what she wanted.
Aunt Wenxin seems to be very busy recently, so busy that Zhou Shuang hasn't seen her for a long time.
At the amusement park, Zhou Yanli, Lin Shu and Zhou Shuang were having a lot of fun.
At the red light at the intersection, Song Huaiyuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat of Gu Fujing's car, turned his head inadvertently and happened to see a family of three.
"Fuck, am I dazzled?"
Song Huaiyuan shouted, and Wen Xin and Xiao Boheng in the back seat frowned at his words.
"What did you see? What's all the fuss?"
Song Huaiyuan felt that they hadn't gathered together for a long time, so he wanted to go out for a drink and chat, and by the way, call Wen Xin out to play together.
I called Zhou Yanli but the call didn't go through, so I thought of making an appointment with him in the evening.
Wen Xin was also feeling depressed because Zhou Yanli hadn't visited her for several days.
She was busy with work and was afraid that if she was too pushy, she would be like those resentful women in the boudoir and make Zhou Yanli think that she was just an ordinary woman, so she held back.
She felt embarrassed to keep calling Zhou Yanli to urge him to come out to see her. If Xiao Boheng and the others had made an appointment, there was no way he wouldn't come.
"Is that Yanli and his daughter?"
Xiao Boheng turned his gaze back to his phone.
"What's so strange about this? This is an amusement park. Wen Xin must be busy lately. Yan Li will have to take his daughter out to play alone."
Wen Xin looked at Gu Fujing and said, "Boss Gu, now you know how hard I've worked. I didn't even bother with the banquet and was so focused on my work."
Her voice was soft and gentle when she spoke, completely different from how she was at the company.
Gu Fujing felt a chill for no reason: "You should tell Yanli about this. I don't mind giving you two days off, so that you two won't blame me later."
Song Huaiyuan slapped Gu Fujing on the arm, and Gu Fujing glared at him.
"what?"
"I don't think Wen Xin and Yan Li are a couple. Can you guys help me take a look? If I'm not mistaken, Zhou Yan Li brought his wife out. Is that woman the wife Zhou Yan Li never lets us see?"
After Song Huaiyuan's words came out, Xiao Boheng and Gu Fujing became curious and looked in the direction Song Huaiyuan pointed.
In the setting sun, Zhou Yanli was holding the hand of a gentle woman with waist-length hair and wearing a beige long dress. Zhou Shuang was running and jumping happily beside them.
Because they were far away, they couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but for some reason, Xiao Boheng and Gu Fujing both felt that she looked familiar.
Wen Xin recognized it was Lin Shu at first glance.
Her gaze, as if poisoned, fell on the two people's holding hands, and her pretty face turned pale as paper.
"It's so far away, you must be seeing things wrong."
She bit her lips until they bled. She knew that Zhou Yanli never took Lin Shu out.
"Impossible. We all knew each other even if Yan Li turned to ash. How could we have made a mistake?"
After Song Huaiyuan finished speaking, Gu Fujing and Xiao Boheng both reacted.
Song Huaiyuan also realized the warmth in the carriage, and everyone fell silent.
Wen Xin forced herself to smile despite her emotions that were about to collapse.
"Is there something wrong with your eyes? You can find out if it's Yan Li after you get to your destination and call him to ask him out.
If he's really with his wife, how could he be willing to come to a party with you? If you don't want to bother him, I'll call him later and he'll definitely come."
