Mr. and Mrs. Lin always had kind smiles on their faces: "Eat more if you like it. We'll bring you food every day from now on."
"No need, no need," Jiang Yimei said, terrified.
She dared not accept such a generous gift.
"Do you feel bad for troubling us, or do you feel embarrassed?" Mr. and Mrs. Lin asked. "If it's the first reason, you don't need to worry. We will often bring meals for our son and Xiao Kai in the future. Your portion only adds a little effort and time on top of that, and the cost is not significant."
Even though it was just a favor, Jiang Yimei felt obligated to accept a gift and therefore declined, saying, "Uncle and Aunt, it's really not necessary. I'd rather eat alone in peace."
Lin's mother asked curiously, "Don't you want to see my son?"
In her understanding, Jiang Yimei didn't want to eat the food they cooked because she hated her son.
Jiang Yimei shook her head and denied it: "No."
Lin's mother asked in bewilderment, "Then why are you afraid of having too many people? These are all people you know."
Jiang Yimei explained, "Auntie, I haven't been in a good mood lately, so I want some peace and quiet."
Lin's mother pressed further, "Is it because of what happened the day before yesterday?"
Jiang Yimei vehemently denied it: "No!"
Lin's mother was puzzled: "Then why is that?"
Jiang Yimei explained again: "In short, it's some private matters."
Lin Congzhi couldn't stand it anymore: "Mom, if Yi Mei doesn't want to eat, don't force her."
He understood Jiang Yimei's feelings.
First, he and Jiang Yimei were merely colleagues and classmates; how could it be proper for Jiang Yimei to eat food cooked by a male parent every day?
Even if the other person doesn't mind, she will still have complicated feelings.
Secondly, Jiang Yimei was in a bad mood because of her boyfriend's situation. At this crucial and sensitive time, she needed to clear her mind, not to get entangled in complicated relationships with other men and their family members.
"All right!"
Lin's mother gave up.
Forcing a girl into marriage is certainly not a noble thing to do.
...
After quickly finishing her meal and saying thank you, Jiang Yimei moved her chair and went back to her office.
Seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lin stopped her: "Ms. Jiang, our son was too direct the day before yesterday and made you cry. We apologize to you on his behalf."
Jiang Yimei quickly stopped them: "Uncle and Aunt, please don't apologize. I stopped hating him a long time ago."
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Lin lifted their eyelids: "Really?"
Jiang Yimei replied, "This matter is not essentially his fault, so I have no reason to hate him."
"Then we can rest assured."
Mr. and Mrs. Lin were much relieved.
Afterwards, Jiang Yimei went back to her office and hid, while Xiao Kai, Lin Congzhi, and Lin's parents chatted outside, enjoying the pleasant time.
After arriving at work, Mr. and Mrs. Lin left the company so as not to disturb their son and Xiao Kai's work.
Gao Jiakai personally saw Lin's parents off and then returned to his post to work.
As the morning rush hour was upon them, Mr. and Mrs. Lin were greeted warmly by the employees of Perkins Toys Co., Ltd. along their way.
Hello, Uncle and Aunt!
Hello, Uncle and Aunt!
Hello, Uncle and Aunt!
At first, Mr. and Mrs. Lin were not used to it and were even frightened, but they gradually understood why these employees did this.
The company belongs to the son, and these employees who rely on the son for their livelihood should naturally be treated with respect because of the son.
