Lin Jia thought that it was her first time to go in and help, so she went back to Lu's house with Lu Qing around four o'clock in the afternoon. She was a little excited along the way, but more nervous. When she got off the car, Lu Qing
I went to hold her hand and found that my fingers were cold. I put her two catkins into my palms and blew the hot air gently with a warm smile. "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
"Yeah!" After he covered himself to warm himself, the two of them entered the door together.
The Lu family is an old family and attaches great importance to celebrating the New Year. The entire mansion is decorated with lights and colorful reds everywhere, making it very festive. The lively atmosphere has also infected Lin Jia, and the pressure in her heart has somewhat eased.
After entering the door, Lu Zhan sat in the hall and read the newspaper. When he saw the young couple coming, he took off his reading glasses and nodded. His attitude was naturally not warm, but he didn't give him a good look. Then he saw that she was carrying a big belly.
, frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Dad, I'm back!" Lu Qing glanced at Lin Jia. She was a little uncomfortable, but she still called out sweetly, "Dad!"
Lu Zhan said "huh huh", which was considered to be an agreement. This is generally true for old people. No matter how tough they were when they were young, they tend to become soft-hearted and soft-hearted when they get old. It's just that they hold on to the face, but in their hearts, they have already softened.
Acquiesced. "You are here!"
"Dad, this is my New Year's gift to you!" Lin Jia's fingers were trembling when she handed it over. She anxiously guessed whether Lu Zhan would accept it or just throw it away. After a few seconds of stalemate, Lu Zhan still said
He leaned over and took it. He nodded. "I'm interested!"
Lin Jia breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Lu Qing.
"Dad, are you going to stew chicken tonight or stew..." As soon as Lu Yuqiong came out and saw Lin Jia, her face became even more ugly. But obviously Lu Zhan had warned her in advance not to cause trouble, so he kept his temper and kept talking in his nose.
He snorted coldly, but there was no conflict.
Lin Jia felt uncomfortable when she saw her, but it was her first time to enter the house and she had to be polite, so she nodded towards her. "Second sister!"
Lu Yuqiong scolded Xiao Jianren in her heart, "Who is your second sister?" But she refrained from getting angry and just ignored her.
Lu Qing couldn't see his woman being wronged and said, "Second sister, Lin Jia is calling you!"
"I heard you!" Lu Yuqiong exhaled through her nose, "I'm not deaf! You made such a big fuss last time, I thought you would never step foot in the house again!"
"Didn't I say it? Today is the Chinese New Year, and you are not allowed to mention things from the past!" As soon as Lu Zhan started talking, Lu Yuqiong did not dare to say anything, and curled her lips in displeasure. "The old duck soup is ready tonight, let's calm down the fire!"
"Cousin, you're back!" Lu Yao ran downstairs from upstairs, dressed in festive red, which made her beautiful face even more lively.
A sixteen-year-old girl's skin is at its best, crystal clear, like jade. Her big eyes are black and white, lively and smart, and very lovable. It is conceivable that she will become a great beauty in the future.
Lin Jia was happy when she saw her and grinned. "I haven't seen you for a long time. You've grown taller again!"
"Yes, cousin. No, no, I should call you third aunt now!" Lu Yao's smile was brighter than the flowers, "No matter what, we are a family! Right? Third uncle?"
Lu Qing touched her head.
"Third Aunt, your belly is so big... When will you give birth? Great, I am not the youngest in this family anymore. From now on, I will have a little brother or sister." Lu Yao bent down happily.
Go and say to your belly: "Baby, I am your cousin, Lu Yao! You have to come out quickly, everyone is waiting for you..."
Lin Jia also touched her belly, "Then you still have to wait four months!"
"How long has it been? It's only ten years apart. There won't be a generation gap in the future, right?"
Her playful joke made everyone laugh, and Lu Zhan also pursed a faint smile. Just at this time, Lu Qing looked over, and the two father and son looked at each other and smiled. The previous entanglements and even hatred,
Everything disappeared in this look. After all, father and son are father and son, no matter how noisy or quarrel they are, there is no need to have an overnight feud!
Yu Sen brought in the New Year's goods from the car. When Lu Yao saw him, she immediately ran over like a happy skylark. "Brother Yu, are you celebrating the New Year here this year?"
Yu Sen nodded. He felt that Lu Yao in front of him was getting brighter and brighter at this moment, like a ray of sunshine, illuminating his eyes. In his heart, he couldn't help but tremble, and there was an inexplicable throbbing. But he suppressed it.
, telling himself that she is only a sixteen-year-old child. He cannot have any inappropriate thoughts.
"That's great! What do you want to eat? I'll make it!"
Yu Sen, a grown man, felt a little embarrassed by her fiery gaze. "I can eat anything!"
"That's not okay, you have to have a favorite dish..."
"Anything works!"
"Brother Yu..."
"Yao Yao!" Lu Yuqiong was not happy at first. Seeing her daughter pestering a servant, her face became even longer. "I just go to the kitchen to help when I have nothing to do. Why are you talking to him all the time? You don't look like a girl at all!"
"
Lu Yao turned around and made a face at her.
"I'll help in the kitchen!" Lin Jia said.
Before Lu Qing could object, Lu Zhan said first, "It's inconvenient for you to carry a big belly right now, so the servants can help. Just sit down. Dinner will be served at six o'clock!"
Lin Jia felt warm in her heart and whispered, "Yeah! Thank you, dad!"
Lu Zhan didn't say anything more, put on his glasses and continued reading the newspaper.
Later in the evening, Ruan Yunan and Lu Wan also came. When Ruan Yunan came in, she saw Lin Jia from a distance, and she nodded and smiled.
That smile seemed extremely hateful to Lu Wan, and he believed that Lin Jia was cheating on Ruan Yunan, and he hated him in his heart. But he didn't want to quarrel because he was celebrating the New Year, so he squeezed out a very hypocritical smile. "Hey, the third uncle has gone home too.
!" She looked like Lin Jia with a smile, but it was clear that she was hiding a knife in her smile and was very sinister. "I even brought someone home. Now, I have to call you third sister-in-law, right?"
Lin Jia just curled her lips and said nothing.
Ruan Yunan was much kinder. Even though he felt uncomfortable, he nodded politely. "Third uncle, third...sister-in-law!"
…
At six o'clock, the food was served on time. The family sat around the dining table, and even the servants who usually stood sat down to have a family reunion dinner together. Lu Yao specially squeezed in next to Yu Sen, smiling from ear to ear. Opposite Lu Yuqiong
She kept making faces, but she turned a blind eye.
Lu Zhan took a New Year shower and came downstairs. Lin Jia was surprised to find that he was wearing the sweater she gave him. Does this mean that he accepted her to a certain extent? She was so excited that she clenched her hands under the table.
Lu Qing's hand.
Everyone toasted to Lu Zhan and said New Year's greetings to each other. Lu Zhan raised his glass and drank some wine. His face was a little flushed, but he was still serious. "This year, the Lu family has not been peaceful. There have been quarrels, deceptions, and even father and son turning against each other...
…But no matter what, it’s all about this year.”
"After twelve o'clock this year, no one is allowed to bring the shadows of the past into the New Year. From now on, everyone sitting here will be a family. Since we are a family, we must respect and love each other. Who dares to scheming behind the scenes?
, I won’t let it go if it destroys family harmony! Let’s raise a toast and happy New Year!”
They had a lively meal until past eleven o'clock. As New Year's Eve approached, Lu Yao dragged everyone to the yard to set off fireworks. Of course she was always stuck to Yu Sen, playing around like a child.
Ruan Yunan stood under the courtyard, looking at Lin Jia from a distance, with mixed feelings in his heart. But no matter what, he wished her more. Seeing her happiness made him feel warm.
"Is it cold?" Lu Qing touched Lin Jia's face and it felt a little cold. "I'll get you a coat!"
After he left, Lu Wan walked up to Lin Jia with a glass of wine. Although he looked at the playful Lu Yao with a smile, he said to her: "You are really powerful. You forced Anan to marry you, and now you are hooking up with three people."
Uncle, let him take over willingly. The poor guy I looked down on the most before, now makes me admire him with admiration!" She said sarcastically: "Should I learn from you and learn how you play with men!"
"I'm different from you. I never play with feelings. I treat every relationship with sincerity and sincerity. That's why I can meet true love. And you..." She slowed down and did not continue. "Anan
You know very well why I married you!"
"No matter what, I am already his wife!"
"If all you want is the result and has nothing to do with love, then I admit that you won! Congratulations!"
"I should be the one congratulating you for being in two different places..."
"I know you hate me, and I may not like you. I just don't want to embarrass Lu Qing, so I just pretend to be at peace with you. No matter how much you hate me, don't choose to make trouble at this time. I just want to live a happy life
Good years. Also, if you come at me in the future, it has nothing to do with the child. As both women, I think you can more or less understand the feelings of being a mother. I will never allow anyone to hurt my child!"
Thinking of this, Lu Wan hated Lin Jia even more. It was Lin Jia who deprived her of her right to be a mother. Now, she is still using this sanctimoniously to win her sympathy. She is simply seeking death! She sneered contemptuously, "In Lu
Home, I won’t quarrel with you. But after I leave this door, can you control what I want to do?"
"With the support of your third uncle, who can you take seriously now? However, I have always taken revenge. I will settle those accounts with you one by one!"
Lin Jia shook her head, "Why bother? Whether you like it or not, we are all a family. Taking control of your own life is the most important thing, so why bother thinking about destroying other people's happiness and revenge all day long?
.That is not good for you and will make your life very tiring!”
"You have everything now, of course you will say so. But my life has been completely ruined by you. I have never hated anyone as much as I hate you. You want to be Lu Lu with peace of mind after ruining my life.
Young lady at home? You don’t even have a door! You’d better ask for your own blessings!”
Seeing Lu Qing come out, Lu Wan walked to Ruan Yunan gracefully. He frowned and asked coldly: "What did you say to her?"
"It's just a few words with the third sister-in-law, why are you so nervous?" Lu Wan rolled his eyes, "Why are you so anxious? Isn't she just standing there calmly now?" She took a sip of her wine and was full of it.
They were all ridiculing. "Why do you have the right to be nervous about someone else's wife? It's funny!"
"If you have any dissatisfaction, direct it at me, don't involve her!"
"So you can also see that I'm dissatisfied?" Lu Wan's smile was full of hatred, "I have tried to make up for it, cooking at home and waiting for you every day, but what about you? I haven't even seen you for a week.
What do you think of me? I've done everything I need to do, but you have to be so heartless and refuse to even give me a chance? No matter what, I am your wife, can't you be nicer to me? I
I have sacrificed so much and just want to start over with you, I..."
"That's enough!" Ruan Yunan interrupted her impatiently, "Today is the Chinese New Year, and I don't want to talk about those disturbing things! If you still want me to stay here, shut up!"
Lu Wan felt his teeth itching with hatred.
Shut up? Haha! Is he so tired of her now that he feels sick even hearing her voice? Who once vowed to take care of her in his hands for the rest of his life? Who said that he will only love her in this life?
one person?
A man's promise is indeed the most false thing in the world. Once he changes his mind, he is more cruel than the devil!
At 11:59, Lu Yao asked Yu Sen for a lighter and stood next to the big round fireworks, dancing with excitement. "The countdown is about to begin. Are you ready?"
Lu Qing put his coat on Lin Jia, and she held his hand, clasping their fingers together. The two looked at each other and smiled, silently and sweetly.
Lu Zhan also came out of the hall. Looking at his family in the yard, he felt that he was content with his life. He no longer cared about the hatred and entanglements in the past. At his age, nothing could compare to the harmony of a family.
Reunion? Thinking of this, he smiled kindly.
"Ten...nine...eight...seven...six...five...four...three...two...one...Happy New Year!"
The fireworks shot up into the sky with a "swish" sound, and a big golden firework bloomed on the dark sky, golden, red, and extremely gorgeous. The sound of firecrackers, fireworks and cheers sounded from every house. New
One year has arrived amidst the cheers of everyone.
Lin Jia was lost in thought while watching the fireworks. Lu Qing lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Honey, Happy New Year!"
She smiled sweetly, "Happy New Year to you too!"
"I will spend every New Year with you from now on. Every year, I will love you more and more!"
…
The noise reached around two o'clock that night, so Lu Zhan left the two young couples to spend the night. Lin Jia was unattended when she was in the villa. She was used to getting up late, and there was too much noise the night before. The next morning,
She couldn't get up at all*. Lu Qing specially let her sleep for a while. After taking a bath, she was still sleeping.
Holding her big belly in one hand, there was still drool hanging from the corner of her mouth. I don't know if she was dreaming about chicken drumsticks or something. It smelled so good. He took a few photos of her with his mobile phone and chose the drooling close-up as a screen saver. The corners of his eyes were stained with smiles.
meaning.
I tidied the room and saw that it was past eight o'clock, so I asked her to get up. "Honey, it's time to get up!"
She waved her hand, "Well... don't make any noise... I still want to sleep..."
"It's already past eight o'clock. Dad must have gotten up early to wait for us to pay New Year's greetings!"
She was sleepy and tired. She half-closed one eye, looked at him lazily through the slit of her eye, and muttered, "I'm pregnant, can I not say New Year's greetings?"
"Who said two days ago that you should be polite when you go home for the first time and leave a good impression on your father-in-law?"
"But I'm very sleepy... I'm two people now..." She was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes, but her mind was clear and she knew how to bargain. "Two people are twice as sleepy! Can you let me sleep for half an hour more?
?Hmm...just half an hour..."
Seeing that she was too sleepy to stand up, Lu Qing agreed tolerantly. He kissed her forehead and said, "Then you sleep a little longer. I'll go to pay dad a New Year's greeting first, and then I'll wake you up when I come back!"
The coquettish pregnant woman melted his heart. He felt so tender and cherished that he kissed her again and again before reluctantly getting up.
As soon as she reached the door, she stopped her again. Turning around, she lazily got up with her big belly on her shoulders. She rubbed her eyes with one hand and muttered with her tender mouth. "Well... just wait for me for a while, and I'll follow you."
go!"
With the New Year's Eve off to a good start, Lin Jia was not as nervous as before when she paid Lu Zhan New Year greetings. Following Lu Qing to the lobby, Lu Zhan got up early and was helping the servants prepare breakfast.
"Dad, Happy New Year!"
"Happy New Year, Dad!"
"Okay! You are happy too!" Lu Zhan took out two red envelopes and handed them to them respectively. "This is your first time going home this year, and the red envelope is a little bigger than before!"
Lin Jia was very happy, "Thank you, Dad!"
"Third uncle and third aunt, Happy New Year!" Lu Yao ran over jumping, "Third uncle, congratulations on getting rich, bring me the red envelope!"
After asking for a big red envelope from Lu Qing, she playfully asked Lin Jia, "Where is the third aunt?"
Lin Jia pretended to be surprised, "I want to give it too?"
"Of course, you are my elder now, of course you have to give it, I am still a child!" Lu Yao simply blinked her big deer-like eyes.
Lin Jia smiled, "I knew you would ask for it from me, so I prepared it a few days ago!" She smiled and handed her the red envelope, "There is also a peace charm in it. When I asked for the baby, I also specially
I’m asking for one for you to keep you safe and healthy!”
"Thank you, Third Aunt, I love you!" Lu Wan rushed towards her to give her a big hug, but Lu Qing took her away.
It means that your third aunt is pregnant now, which is inconvenient!
Lu Wan stuck out her tongue, "I'll give my brother a good hug when he's born!" Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of Yu Sen in the yard, and she ran out happily, "Brother Yu, happy New Year!"
Yu Sen nodded, "Yeah! Happy New Year!"
She happily extended her palm, "Where is my New Year's gift?"
"...Want a New Year gift? Sorry! I don't know!"
"That's not possible. Since you are not prepared, I can only ask you for it!" Before he could react, Lu Wan had jumped up and hugged his neck, and kissed him loudly on the mouth, "Boo—
—”
Yu Sen's eyes widened in astonishment. After he realized what he was doing, he quickly pushed her away. When he saw no one was around, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Yao, you——"
He couldn't control his strength for a moment. Lu Wan staggered two steps and sat down on the ground, grinning in pain. "Ouch!"
Yu Sen reached out to pull her, but she grabbed him with one hand and rubbed her butt with the other, complaining with a smile. "Brother Yu, you are going to throw me to death!"
His cheeks turned red. "Sorry, I was in a hurry..."
"Hey, Brother Yu, you're blushing!" Lu Yao stared at his face and snickered, triumphantly. "Are you blushing because I kissed you? Brother Yu, you look so cute when you blush!"
Yu Sen was even more embarrassed, "You take your time and play, I'm going to get busy!" He almost ran away.
Lu Yao grinned brightly. Brother Yu must be so shy because he has fallen in love with her! She believed that it wouldn't be long before he would be moved by her sincerity, break through all constraints, and be with her!
…
Lin Jia was sitting comfortably on the deck chair on the balcony, squinting her eyes and basking in the sun contentedly. When she heard the footsteps, she turned her head with a smile and said, "You brought the juice so soon?"
But the person who came was not Lu Qing, but Ruan Yunan. He let go and joked: "Sorry! I don't have any juice!"
Lin Jia raised her lips, "Why are you here? Where is Lu Wan?"
"Are we going to get tired of being together every minute?" Ruan Yunan shook his head, "She and I haven't reached that level yet!"
Lin Jia didn't know how to answer the question, and she could hear the displeasure in his tone, so she simply said nothing.
"Are you... adapting to it?" Seeing her confused look, he explained: "My ex-husband has become my niece-in-law, my niece's identity has changed to my third aunt, and we have to celebrate the New Year together, pretending that the past things never happened... You don't
Does it feel a little strange?"
"To a certain extent, but people always have to forget the past and look forward, right? Grasping the present is the most important thing. Why stick to the past and make yourself uncomfortable?"
He leaned lazily on the railing and looked at her with a smile, "You seem to be reminding me every moment now that we are in the past tense. Are you afraid that I will pester you?"
"you will not……"
"What if I do? After all, I care about you so much!" Ruan Yunan's eyes were filled with more seriousness. For Lin Jia, it was heavy. Her heart tightened, and she didn't know how to answer, and she was speechless.
When she was panicking, Ruan Yunan suddenly laughed and said, "You're just kidding, don't take it seriously!"
The tone was completely joking, but she was not relaxed at all. Because she could feel the seriousness in her smile. After all, she knew Ruan Yunan well after knowing each other for so many years. When he joked, he was not just joking. On the contrary, he was just joking.
Wanting to use this to cover up his seriousness and his pain.
God is really good at teasing people. When she loved him deeply, he only had Lu Wan in his heart. But now, she fell in love with Lu Qing, but he said he loved her. Even if Lu Wan wanted to marry him, he would not care.
Fate is really strange and cruel!
But no matter what, they are all in their respective positions now. This may be the best ending!
Not speaking seemed to only make the atmosphere more awkward. Seeing that Ruan Yunan had no intention of leaving, Lin Jia could only find a topic. "You don't look good. Is the company very busy recently? Pay more attention to rest!"
"The busyness of work is nothing. The psychological pressure can make people exhausted." Ruan Yunan smiled bitterly. The sun was so bright that he squinted his eyes. The beautiful arc was half lowered, and it became more and more vague.
Melancholy. When a beautiful man shows this kind of expression, it will inevitably arouse people's heartache. Especially Lin Jia, she hopes he will have a good life.
"If... it is difficult to maintain the marriage, then ending it will make you feel more relaxed!"
"It's as simple as you said. Not everything can be decided by yourself. For some people, living a relaxed life is not an easy thing!"
"Then tell me, how difficult is it?"
"Easy or difficult, it's all my choice. I just want you to be happy!"
"But if you say this, it will put me under pressure. It will make me feel that you married Lu Wan because you were compromising to protect me. That makes me very uneasy! If you can, I want you to make it clear that I don't want it to seem like
I owe you nothing."
"You don't owe me, I owe you. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore! You are a pregnant woman now, and your mood is related to the baby in your belly. Don't create pressure for him! You are about to give birth in more than four months.
, how does the expectant mother feel?"
"I just hope he can be healthy and be born safely. I have nothing else to ask for!" Thinking of the baby in her belly, Lin Jia's heart softened again. She stroked her belly, her eyes full of love.
"I think I will be a good mother!"
"Well! I believe you!" Ruan Yunan thought, as long as he can protect their mother and daughter, so what if he sacrifices him? The only thing that can make him feel warm in the darkness now is her happy appearance.
Really, it is enough for her to be happy!
Lu Qing came over with juice, and Ruan Yunan smiled at him, "You two are getting tired of it, so I won't bother you!"
Lu Qing sat next to Lin Jia, held her in one hand, and handed the juice to her lips. She took a sip, feeling slightly uneasy because Lu Qing did not question her, or even show any displeasure.
.But she could feel that he was unhappy. She tried to explain. "I, I didn't know that Anan would come over suddenly, but we just chatted and did nothing else!"
Lu Qing raised his eyebrows, looking more dangerous, "Do you want to do anything else?"
"No, no, I mean...we just had a casual chat...it's nothing!"
He sneered, "As soon as I leave, he will look for you. He really knows how to look for opportunities! Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"No, it's just a coincidence... Besides, we didn't have anything to talk about! He and I are now the third aunt and niece-in-law. Why are you worried? Don't you believe me?"
"Of course I believe you, I just don't believe him. When I think of him haunting you like a fly, I want to drive him to Africa!"
"Are you so petty? The jealous king of East Asia!" Lin Jia was overjoyed. "What a domineering man, do you have to be jealous of your husband? Although I like you to be jealous for me, there is really no need. I feel very sad now.
I can tolerate you alone, but other men are genderless in my eyes! I swear!"
After she coaxed her for a long time, Lu Qing's expression softened and he pinched her face, "Forget it, I won't argue with you this time. Don't let it happen again!"
"I know! Alas, now I'm particularly worried that my baby will inherit your jealous gene. It will be like a big child, which is really difficult to coax!"
"I don't love you too much!" Lu Qing tightened his arms around her waist, as if he wanted to cut her off. "You will be mine in this life and the next life! If other men dare to have ideas about you,
Kill without mercy!"
