It is said that the early bird catches the worm, and breakfast should be as substantial as possible. However, in reality, not many people in China really take breakfast too seriously.
Making breakfast didn't take long, and the group quickly gathered around the table to eat.
“My colleague Sister Zhao’s son and his wife are arguing every day now.” Wang Xiaoxia chatted about family matters as usual. “Her son earns less than 10,000 yuan a month, and as a result, her daughter-in-law doesn’t work either. She’s always shopping online and has no money left over. There are so many girls these days, it’s just unbelievable.”
Chen Lu swallowed the bun in his mouth and quickly said, "Look how promising your son is, but your daughter-in-law isn't like that at all."
He felt that his mother would never have imagined that Liang Zhirou was still thinking about keeping him as a sugar daddy.
"You little brat, you're back to show off your wife, aren't you?" Wang Xiaoxia rolled her eyes at him, then realized that she was right. Zhirou was a daughter-in-law that was hard to find even with a lantern. "Then why don't you hurry up and marry her!"
Chen Lu quickly buried his head in his food, as if nothing had happened.
This matter must be done according to Liang Zhirou's wishes; prematurely arousing her mother's desire to urge her to get married would be disastrous.
"Wouldn't those who felt indignant on your behalf be furious to see you acting so smug now?" Wang Xiaoxia pressed Chen Lu's forehead with her finger. "Those who know you are the ones who were bullied, but those who don't would think you were the one bullying them."
"It was right to fight back; he wasn't a good person to begin with."
Chen Guanglin suddenly said.
Wang Xiaoxia was taken aback. "You're saying Xiao Lu isn't a good person?"
"I'm talking about Lin Jingming."
Chen Guanglin glanced at his wife speechlessly. The old lady looked like a female celebrity, never seeming to age. It seemed like all her skill points were invested in her looks, leaving no room for intelligence. "Their marriage has probably been dead in name only for a long time. Do you think it's been years since Shiyun came back from abroad?"
“That Shiyun is so pitiful…her marriage has always been unsuccessful.” Wang Xiaoxia always had unwavering faith in Chen Guanglin’s judgment. “I guess she’s resigned to it and will just stay with her daughter from now on.”
"What's so pitiful about that? You can only blame yourself for being stupid, right? My Uncle Mo works so hard to support his family, I would be more than content with that."
Chen Mo had just finished complaining while drinking his soy milk when Wang Xiaoxia slapped him on the head, almost making him spit out his soy milk.
Mo Wenbin treated her better, so she naturally spoke more in favor of him.
“That’s not entirely true,” Chen Guanglin said, speaking more reasonably. “You can only know a person’s face, not their heart. It’s not easy to see through a person’s true nature.”
"I knew you were a good person the moment I saw you," Wang Xiaoxia said proudly, chin held high.
Chen Guanglin smiled slightly and handed a tissue to Chen Mo, who was coughing from choking. "It means you're much smarter than the average person."
Chen Lu was too lazy to watch his parents' public display of affection, so he rested his chin on his hand and looked at his phone, chatting with Liang Zhirou on WeChat.
Chen Lu: What are you doing? Do you miss me? Hug my pig.jpg
He didn't care at all that the two of them had only not seen each other for one night.
Liang Zhirou: I just tidied up the house and am watching TV. Thinking of you...
Chen Lu: If I send you an emoji and you don't reply, it makes me seem greasy, you know? It looks like I'm harassing you.
Liang Zhirou: But I think those emojis are so embarrassing.
Chen Lu: You can draw, right? Why don't you draw a few things that you don't feel ashamed of?
Liang Zhirou: You are so smart.
Unlike Chen Lu's lazy demeanor, Liang Zhirou and Xiao Xunfang both got up very early and had already finished breakfast and tidied up.
The two of them sat on the sofa watching TV, which was much quieter than Chen Lu's place.
After chatting for a while, Liang Zhirou put away her phone with satisfaction, sat down in front of the full-length mirror to comb her hair, and suddenly turned to Xiao Xunfang and said, "You comb my hair."
"You're getting married in a few years, and you still want your mother to comb your hair?" Xiao Xunfang teased her daughter, but still happily helped Liang Zhirou comb her hair.
Liang Zhirou's hair is really good. Her long, black hair, which cascades down her back like a waterfall, looks and feels incredibly smooth. It's so long.
"Why is your hair getting longer and longer?" Xiao Xunfang was a little surprised, only then realizing that this girl hadn't cut her hair much this year, only thinned it out a few times.
Liang Zhirou pursed her lips, too embarrassed to say it was because Chen Lu liked it.
In fact, most girls don't tend to grow their hair very long; those who are willing to grow it to their waist are already considered to have a lot of willpower.
Because once your hair gets long, it's not only troublesome to wash it every day, but you also have to blow-dry it for a long time after washing, and you can easily smother your hair while sleeping at night.
It might even wake me up in pain.
But what does it matter?
As long as Chen Lu is happy, that's all that matters.
Liang Zhirou perfectly embodies the saying "A woman dresses up for the one who appreciates her."
Looking at Xiao Xunfang standing behind her, carefully and gently combing her hair in the full-length mirror, she couldn't help but smile.
"What's wrong? Why are you laughing like that, like a silly girl?"
I wonder if she's thinking about Chen Lu again, since this silly girl always smiles when she talks about that guy's name in her sleep.
"Mom, you haven't combed my hair in almost ten years," Liang Zhirou said with a half-smile, sniffling her slightly sore nose.
However, she still managed to force a sweet and beautiful smile in the end, even if it looked a little bitter.
Xiao Xunfang was stunned.
She froze for a moment, the comb stuck halfway, the whole scene like a movie that was suddenly paused.
