Lian Ruowei glared at Zhao Ke and snorted coldly: "I want to show my grandpa some respect. He really regards this place as his own home and refuses to leave here every day!"
"Ruowei, Master Zhao is your grandpa's guest, so you can't be rude!"
Chen Yuefang scolded Lian Ruowei softly, then turned to look at Xiaoju and said, "Go on and wait for me to wash my hands. Master Biao is just joking with you!"
"Yes!" Xiaoju glanced at Dongzi gratefully, and stood quietly next to the carved wooden frame with the towel on her back.
Zhao Ke's face turned red and white.
Chen Yuefang is different from Lian Anping. She is obviously towards Dongzi. The words "grandfather's guest" and "aunt-in-law" have clearly differentiated Dongzi and Zhao Ke into themselves and outsiders.
He also hit Zhao Ke hard on the face.
Dongzi was a little dazed. He didn't expect that Chen Yuefang and Lian Ruowei would turn towards him.
It would be a lie to say that she didn't have any feelings in her heart, but after going through the test, Dongzi always had an unreal feeling towards these unexpected passions.
Could it be that he really misunderstood Lian Ruowei? Is it true that Lian Ruowei only had such a big difference in dealing with the same thing because Chen Shanshan was her cousin and their positions were different?
Dongzi put his hand into the basin and washed it. As soon as he finished washing, Xiaoju had already handed the towel to him.
After wiping the water from her hands, Dongzi helped Xiaoju pour the dirty water from the copper basin into the wooden bucket on the ground.
Xiaoju said "thank you" to him nervously, and ducked behind the screen with the bucket in hand.
Turning around again, Chen Yuefang, Lian Ruowei and Zhao Ke were already seated at the dining table.
"Come and have a meal. After dinner, let Ruowei take you out for a walk." Chen Yuefang smiled and waved to Dongzi.
Dongzi nodded, walked over and sat down on a chair next to Lian Ruowei.
"By the way, Aunt Chen, won't Grandpa Chen come out for dinner?" Dongzi asked.
"Grandpa hasn't gone out to eat for many years. After Ruowei's grandma left, Chen's mother would bring food to his bedroom."
Chen Yuefang's tone was a little disappointed when she said this. Dongzi couldn't tell whether it was because Old Mrs. Chen didn't come out to eat or because Lian Ruowei's grandmother was gone.
The atmosphere seemed to darken for a moment. Chen Yuefang smiled, picked up her chopsticks and said, "Let's eat. Grandpa usually doesn't come out until after dinner for a short period of time to listen to everyone chatting, so you and Ruowei can go wherever you want in the afternoon."
.”
"Ah, there is a braised little lion's head today, mom, I love you so much!" Lian Ruowei exclaimed exaggeratedly, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a braised lion's head and stuffed it into his mouth, and started chewing it.
.
Dongzi raised his chopsticks and picked up a piece of food at random. As if he suddenly remembered something, he raised his head and looked at Chen Yuefang and said, "Aunt Chen, cousin Shanshan, aren't they going out to eat either?"
When Lian Ruowei heard Dongzi's sudden answer, she quickly raised her head and glanced at Chen Yuefang, but her mouth was full of food and she couldn't make a sound.
"There is a small kitchen in the backyard, and Mother Chen arranged for someone to cook for them." Chen Yuefang was drinking soup and answered casually without raising her head.
Lian Ruowei glanced at Dongzi from the corner of her eyes and lowered her head again.
Dongzi felt Lian Ruowei's reaction, and her heart sank again.
"Oh!" Dongzi nodded as if unintentionally, put the vegetables into the rice bowl, picked up the bowl and took a bite.
When visiting the garden, Dongzi had some doubts that Chen Shanshan and Lu Xiaohong must be in the garden, but every time Lian Ruowei mentioned the topic about them, Lian Ruowei avoided it.
Now it seems that it is exactly what he thought.
There must be something wrong with Lu Xiaohong's change of heart, and Lian Ruowei must know something.
Dongzi finally dug up a corner of the iceberg. It seemed that he came to Kyoto at the right time.
Everyone ate with their own thoughts during the meal, and no one said anything.
Zhao Ke also got into trouble with Chen Yuefang because he made fun of Dongzi. After taking a few bites, he answered the phone and left in despair.
After dinner, Chen Yuefang went back to her room to take a nap, while Dongzi and Lian Ruowei were in the front hall.
Neither of them spoke for a long while.
"Ruowei, I want to ask Brother Lu in person again, is that okay?"
After all, Dongzi was the first to lose his composure. After being silent for a while, he looked at Lian Ruowei and asked.
"You still don't believe me and don't want to let go and stop interfering in their affairs, right?" Lian Ruowei looked at Dongzi and asked.
Dongzi was silent and didn't speak. He didn't know how to answer. If he didn't ask at all, he would feel sorry for me.
"You told me you wouldn't meet them again!"
After another long silence, Dongzi finally spoke.
"I have said it, but why do you have to ask? I have told you that there is something wrong with Lu Xiaohong's health. Cousin Shanshan is accompanying him to take care of his health. As long as you don't ask or interfere, nothing will happen.
You can't meet them!" Lian Ruowei said.
"Ruowei, I really can't promise you to ignore Brother Lu and Hu Ling's affairs. You don't know what Hu Ling means to our family, my parents and me.
I know that Shanshan is your cousin, and you will look towards her just like I do towards Hu Ling, so I don’t blame you, and I can understand why you kept it from me.
I promise you, as long as I am sure that Brother Lu has really changed his mind and not for any other reason, I will definitely listen to you and stop interfering in their affairs!" Dongzi looked at Lian Ruowei and said.
Lian Ruowei looked at Dongzi for a moment, lowered her head and said softly: "Dongzi, I admit that I did hide the matter from you about Lu Xiaohong, but not just because Chen Shanshan is my cousin, maybe one day you will
Understand me."
Dongzi looked at Lian Ruowei without speaking, waiting for her to continue.
"How about this? After two days, you must go to see Lu Xiaohong in person. I will help you tell grandpa and ask him to allow you to see him." Lian Ruowei thought for a while before speaking.
.
Dongzi's heart moved and asked: "You are referring to two days. Could it be the time when Lu Xiaohong and Chen Shanshan get married?"
"Since I promised you, I won't lie to you with this kind of language game. Shanshan and Lu Xiaohong can't get married yet. They have to go back to Jiangzhou before getting married. Lu Xiaohong's household registration is still there.
It was not taken out where you lived. The last time Shanshan accompanied him to get it, Luo Yue and Xiao Zun kicked him out."
Lian Ruowei lowered her head and said: "The last time they went to your place, they didn't mean to show off to Hu Ling, they just wanted to get back Lu Xiaohong's household registration book. In fact, they were already preparing to get the certificate at that time."
Dongzi looked at Lian Ruowei and saw a calm look on her face.
He knew that what Lian Ruowei told him this time was the truth. What surprised him was that it turned out that Lu Xiaohong was planning to marry Chen Shanshan last time.
Dongzi had never seen Lu Xiaohong mention Chen Shanshan before. Judging from what my father and I mentioned about Lu Xiaohong’s past, Lu Xiaohong probably had no chance to know Chen Shanshan before going abroad.
If he calculated correctly, Lu Xiaohong and Chen Shanshan should have only known each other for less than half a month at that time! This chapter has been completed!
