Chapter 210 Incident
The few of them walked slowly to the New Square. Jiang Shu and Yaoyao went back to the store to have dinner. Fu Wanying smiled and asked Zhuzhu if she wanted to eat here before going back, but she blushed and refused.

"Aunt Fu, dinner is being prepared at home. I'll go back and eat."

Fu Wanying nodded with a smile: "Then come back to play with Xiaoshu after you eat."

Xu Xinzhu secretly glanced at the small tree and nodded slightly: "Hmm..."

She returned home alone with her schoolbag on her back, and inexplicably felt that the atmosphere today was a little strange.

Mom sat alone on the sofa in the living room, while Dad faced the large floor-to-ceiling window. The TV was on but no one was watching it. There was no smell of food in the air, which made her feel depressed.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Xu Xinzhu said.

The sound broke the silence in the room. She noticed that her mother seemed to raise her hand to wipe her eyes, and then turned her head to look at her, forcing a smile on her face: "Zhuzhu is back? We forgot to cook today, can we go out to eat?"

Xu Xinzhu was stunned. She clearly saw that her mother's eyes were red.

Did mom cry?
Did the two of them quarrel?
She glanced at her father who had his back to her and was a little afraid to ask.

She remembered that there was such an incident when she was in the sixth grade. Her father seemed to come home very late that night, and she was woken up by a quarrel while she was sleeping.

She didn't know what was going on, so she ran out of the room in her pajamas to check what was going on. But when her parents saw that she was awake, they stopped making noise.

But after that, it seemed like Mom and Dad were in a cold war for a long time before smiles appeared on their faces again.

"I want to eat steamed dumplings." Xu Xinzhu nodded slightly.

"Mom will take you there, wait for me."

After saying this, Li Qiuyu returned to her room. She looked at her red eyes in the mirror, picked up the powder puff and slowly put them on.

"Is Dad going too?" Xu Xinzhu asked.

Hearing this, the man facing the floor-to-ceiling window turned around. He was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, wearing a suit, handsome, and his bright eyes were very similar to Xu Xinzhu's.

Xu Jiale looked at his daughter who had been very well-behaved since she was a child, and his serious expression gradually softened.

He walked over and touched his daughter's head, and said softly: "Zhuzhu, you and your mother go to eat, I'm going back to the company, I have something to deal with."

"Oh."

Xu Xinzhu lowered her eyelids, hesitated slightly, and asked, "Dad, did you and Mom have a fight?"

Xu Jiale was slightly startled, and forced a smile on his face: "That's not the case, Zhuzhu, don't think too much."

"really?"

"Ah."

Xu Xinzhu stared straight into his father's eyes and said seriously, "Dad, you are lying. You don't even dare to look me in the eye when you speak."

Xu Jiale was slightly helpless. He put his hands on his daughter's shoulders, looked into her eyes, and said, "We didn't quarrel. Don't think too much, okay?"

Seeing that she wanted to say something else, Xu Jiale stood up, touched his daughter's head again, and slowly walked out of the house.

Li Qiuyu saw this scene behind the door, took a deep breath, and tried hard to hold back the tears that were about to flow out again.

She calmed herself down, walked out of the room and became her normal self again.

"Zhuzhu, let's go. Mom will take you to eat dumplings."

"Mom, Dad said he went back to the company."

"Don't worry about him. Let's eat our food. He's already grown up. How could he starve to death?"

"Oh."

Xu Xinzhu couldn't help but ask again: "Mom, did you and Dad have a fight?"

"No." Li Qiuyu said straightforwardly. "But..."

"No buts."

"All right……"

Xu Xinzhu was in a depressed mood. Although her parents told her that they did not have a fight, she did not believe it at all.

"Zhuzhu, can we just go to Xiaoshu's house to eat?"

"Yeah." Xu Xinzhu agreed casually.

She just found it a little funny. Just now, Aunt Fu asked her if she wanted to eat in the restaurant, and she swore that she was cooking at home, but now she ran over to eat.

The mother and daughter were silent along the way. Xu Xinzhu raised her eyes and secretly glanced at her mother several times, and found that she always had a gloomy face and no one knew what she was thinking.

When they arrived at Grandpa Jiang's Bobo Chicken shop, Fu Wanying was a little surprised to see the mother and daughter appear at the door of the shop.

"Wanying, Zhuzhu said she wanted to eat some steamed dumplings. Do you have any left?" Li Qiuyu smiled slightly, her expression no different from usual.

If you don't look closely, you can't even tell that she has used foundation around her eyes.

"Yes, yes. I just asked Zhuzhu if she wanted to eat here." Fu Wanying said quickly, "You guys go find a seat first, I'll have someone bring it up right away."

Li Qiuyu smiled and nodded. She suddenly noticed that her BMW was passing by the intersection quickly, and her pupils shrank slightly.

"Wanying, I suddenly have something urgent to deal with. Can you help me look after Zhuzhu for a while?"

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"Well, I won't eat for now."

"Okay then. Xiaoshu and Yaoyao just finished their meal and went home. If you have something urgent, ask Zhuzhu to bring the homework to my house later."

"It's troublesome."

"Well, why are you being so polite to me?" Fu Wanying said with a smile.

Li Qiuyu patted her daughter's head and said, "Zhuzhu, eat here obediently. I will go play with Xiaoshu later. Mom will pick you up later."

Xu Xinzhu bit her lip and nodded gently: "I know, Mom."

"Be good, Zhuzhu is the most obedient."

Watching her mother leave, Xu Xinzhu sniffed and felt a little sour. She didn't know why her mother suddenly left, but it must have something to do with her father.

And they said they didn't quarrel! And they said they didn't quarrel!
After a while, Fu Wanying personally brought a plate of steamed tomato beef dumplings: "Zhuzhu, the dumplings are just steamed and a little hot, eat slowly."

"Well, thank you Aunt Fu." Xu Xinzhu lowered her head, her tone sounded a little depressed, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly.

Fu Wanying felt that there was something strange about this mother and daughter today. When Zhuzhu came to the store before, she was obviously very lively and cheerful, and definitely not like this now.

I guess something happened at home.

She frowned and hesitated for a moment, but still resisted the urge to ask clearly.

"Zhuzhu, eat first. If there are not enough dumplings, tell your aunt. Also, do you want to eat something else?"

"No need, Auntie, the dumplings are delicious." Xu Xinzhu whispered.

It obviously tasted just as delicious as before, but she kept chewing it in her mouth and couldn't swallow it.

Fu Wanying sighed softly, walked aside and secretly called home.

"Hey, Xiaoshu, Zhuzhu is eating dumplings in the store. She seems to be in a bad mood. Come down now and take her home."
