After rebirth, I became Qingmei's white moonlight

Chapter 398 Chapter 397 Family Dinner with Intrigue

At the family dinner in the evening, Chef Jiang, who had not been in the kitchen for a long time, picked up the spatula again and used braising, steaming, frying, stewing and stir-frying to prepare four meat dishes, four vegetable dishes, four soups and four cold dishes to welcome the children who had returned home.

A rich aroma of food wafted from the kitchen. Fu Wanying brought out a fragrant dry-fried fish and placed it on the table, then called out to the others:
"Eat~"

"Wow! Such a rich feast! And my favorite fish-flavored eggplant! Thank you, Aunt Wanying, and Uncle Jiang, for your hard work!"

Fu Wanying smiled slightly: "It's not hard, go wash your hands and eat."

"Yeah, yeah."

The three pretty little girls obediently followed Jiang Shu to the bathroom to wash their hands. The four of them squeezed in front of the cramped sink, away from the sight of their parents.

The girls would not miss this opportunity to be alone together, and when their parents were not paying attention, they kissed and touched the little tree.

Jiang Shu took their hands away in a bad mood and said helplessly: "Are you really not afraid? Our parents are watching us. If we are discovered, we will be dead!"

“They can’t see~”

"What are you guys whispering about?" Qi Wanling suddenly stood outside, and it seemed that he was also planning to wash his hands.

Xu Xinzhu shuddered and subconsciously tensed his body, not daring to make any rash moves.

"Aunt Wanling, we are discussing how we are going to spend the holidays," she said quickly.

Qi Wanling smiled and said, "You should really enjoy this summer vacation. Nothing is too much to do."

These words made everyone present feel extremely guilty.

After washing hands and eating, the family sat together around a round table. Lao Xu, Lao Jiang and Lao Bai sat on one side to drink, the three mothers and Li Xiuzhen sat on one side to chat, and the four big ones sat on one side to do bad things secretly.

"Xiaoshu, go get two bottles of red wine from our wine cabinet, and get a bottle of coconut milk for Miss Xiuzhen. She's too old to drink alcohol. Your dad and the others drink white wine, so don't worry about it."

Jiang Shu nodded. When Li Xiuzhen heard that they were going to drink, she couldn't help but ask, "Wanying, are the children going to drink too?"

Fu Wanying smiled and said, "The college entrance examination is over, it's okay to drink less."

The treasured red wine was as transparent as sleeping amber. Zhong Yaoyao first handed the coconut milk to her grandmother, and then handed the red wine to everyone else in turn.

"Celebrating our kids' graduation from high school!"

"Now that I'm a college student, I'm an adult~"

"Cheers~!"

Everyone raised their glasses and clinked them together. After drinking the clear wine, blushes quickly appeared on the faces of the three girls.

"Xiaoshu, how long will it take for the college entrance examination results to come out?" Li Xiuzhen showed a friendly smile on her face.

"Around ten o'clock at night on the 22nd."

"Oh, that's pretty fast."

"Miss Xiuzhen, although the college entrance examination results have not been released, the children have already received admission letters, and they are all from the best prestigious schools in the country. If it were you, we should all thank Xiaoshu. If he hadn't been patiently guiding the girls to improve since they were young, it would have been good enough for them to be admitted to No. 1 High School in the city, and they would have never been able to even think about getting into prestigious schools like Peking University or Tsinghua University."

Li Qiuyu's words really touched the hearts of others. She still remembers that after Zhuzhu won the gold medal in the National Olympic Competition, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Fudan University, Jiaotong University, Zhejiang University of Science and Technology all called her home to recruit students. That was truly a time of great joy and everyone was beaming with joy.

"Yes, yes, yes, I should thank Xiaoshu for bringing my daughter Yaoyao up to No. 7 Middle School step by step, and then to CAFA. I will never forget this great kindness."

Li Xiuzhen stood up from her seat and bowed to Jiang Shu. Fu Wanying quickly stopped her and said:
"Auntie Xiuzhen, you can't do that. It's natural for Xiaoshu to take care of Yaoyao, and he has never complained."

"There is no such thing as a matter of course. It is precisely because Xiaoshu never complained that I want to thank him. Thank you, Wanying, and thank you, Yimin. If it weren't for you, Yaoyao and I might still be living in that shabby little house, and we wouldn't be able to live the happy life we have today."

Li Xiuzhen was in tears as she spoke. She was sincerely grateful to the Jiang family. If there was another life, she would be willing to work like a slave for the Jiang family again to repay their kindness in this life.

Zhong Yaoyao's eyes turned red after hearing this. She stood up and walked to her grandmother, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to Fu Wanying and Jiang Yimin.

Fu Wanying quickly pulled her daughter up. She felt very distressed when she saw the red mark on her smooth forehead. She covered it with her palm and rubbed it gently.

"Yaoyao, get up quickly. Don't be like this. Your godparents have never treated you as an outsider. You are a part of the family and you will always be."

As mothers, Li Qiuyu and Qi Wanling couldn't help but smile slightly when they saw the warmth in front of them.

Back then, the Jiang family was still getting up early and working late to sell buns and do breakfast business. They didn't make much money after working all day, but even in such a situation, they still raised Yaoyao for free.

This kind of kindness and courage is indeed not possessed by ordinary families. At least, their two families cannot do it.

"Wanying, since we have come to this point today, I have something that I have kept in my heart for a long time and I want to say it in front of everyone." Li Xiuzhen said slowly.

Fu Wanying said with a smile: "Miss Xiuzhen, it's just what you said."

"You took Yaoyao in with good intentions, but many people in the courtyard gossiped about me, saying that I couldn't make ends meet, so I heartlessly sold Yaoyao to Xiaoshu as a child bride."

Qi Wanling and Li Qiuyu looked at each other, and their hearts suddenly skipped a beat.

Li Xiuzhen continued, "Although things are not as they said, I can see that Yaoyao likes Xiaoshu. It is said that good things should be kept within the family. I will make my own decision this time and marry Yaoyao to Xiaoshu. I think Yaoyao is willing."

Zhong Yaoyao didn't expect that her grandmother would actually talk about this matter in front of everyone. She lowered her head with a red face, her heart pounding wildly.

Grandma scored big points!
She does! She does! She does!
"This……"

The others looked at each other, while Bai Lu and Xu Xinzhu's faces turned pale. If Yaoyao and Xiaoshu's marriage was settled so hastily, there would be no hope for them!

"Auntie Xiuzhen, today is the day to celebrate the children's high school graduation. Isn't it inappropriate to say these things?" Li Qiuyu smiled, but his fists under the table clenched unconsciously.

This Lao Deng is really scheming. He first played the emotional card to tie Xiaoshu and Yaoyao together, and then, as an elder, he made his own decision and wanted to cut the Gordian knot and finalize the marriage.

"Yes, Yaoyao and Xiaoshu have a good relationship, we can all see that, but Xiaolu, Zhuzhu and Xiaoshu grew up together. Let the children solve their own problems, and adults should not interfere." Qi Wanling also spoke with a smile.

The implication was that she opposed this marriage on behalf of her daughter!
Fu Wanying swallowed her throat. On her left was Zhuzhu Xiaolu, and on her right was Yaoyao. The palms and backs of her hands were all flesh. No matter what choice she made, she would feel heartbroken.

She subconsciously glanced at her son with an innocent expression, obviously not intending to confirm the relationship at this time, or perhaps he had a more far-reaching idea. "Auntie Xiuzhen, Wan Ling is right, let the children solve their own problems. You don't have the final say on this matter, and neither do I, right?"

"Doesn't Xiaoshu like Yaoyao?" Li Xiuzhen asked gently.

She knew that her family could not compare with the Bai family and the Xu family. The only advantage was that Yaoyao and Xiaoshu lived together day and night under the same roof. If she wanted to seek better happiness for her granddaughter, she had to give up her old face.

Under the table, Bai Lu kicked Xiao Shu's legs hard in grievance, and Xu Xinzhu also put his hand on his leg and twisted it hard.

You stinky little tree, don’t you want to share a bed with me for the rest of your life? Say something!

If you don't say anything, I'm going to tell everyone that I'm pregnant with your child!
Jiang Shu exhaled lightly and was about to speak when he heard Yaoyao blushing and saying, "Grandma, we just graduated from high school and we have to go to college in the future. Besides, no one can predict what will happen in the future. It's too early to talk about this now."

Zhong Yaoyao knew Xiaoshu's difficulties very well. It was not an easy thing to get all parents to agree that he could sleep in the same bed with his children. No matter what he said at this time, it would be inappropriate and far worse than taking the initiative to refuse.

After hearing Yaoyao's words, Xu Xinzhu and Bai Lu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Yaoyao is in the same group with them.

Li Xiuzhen couldn't help but sigh, "Yaoyao, grandma is sacrificing her dignity to help you, why are you still speaking for others?"

But now that things have come to this, and since my granddaughter has taken the initiative to speak up, I will just let the matter go and not mention it again.

"How do you plan to spend this summer vacation? Do you want to travel?" Fu Wanying smiled slightly and changed the subject lightly.

The three girls thought about it and there was only one common event in their minds - eating, sleeping, and secretly connecting with Xiaoshu.

If you are going to travel, you should eat, sleep and have secret connections with the trees in the tourist places.

It's different from others, and it's a private law.

"I plan to take the driver's license test first." Jiang Shu said.

This is probably what he wants to do most at the moment. Without a car, it always feels inconvenient to go anywhere.

"Xiaoshu, are you planning to buy a car?" Qi Wanling asked with a smile.

"Xiaoshu is now a well-known writer. He should not only buy a car, but also buy a good car that matches his status." Li Qiuyu agreed.

Speaking of which, when Xiaoshu was invited to Day Day Up before the college entrance examination, Li Qiuyu and Qi Wanling were both surprised.

The small tree that grew up right under his nose actually hid the identity of a writer. Over the past decade, he has written more than 20 million words. His works are sold well on the entire Internet, and his monthly royalties exceed one million. In terms of the speed of making money, he has already surpassed his family business.

Not only that, even the film and television rights of the works have been sold. Maybe it won’t be long before we can see film and television adaptations of Xiaoshu’s works on TV.

Compared with his achievements, it seems that none of his peers can match him, which makes him more determined to make Xiaoshu his son-in-law!

Since Li Xiuzhen has made her move openly, Qi Wanling and Li Qiuyu no longer intend to hide it and try every means to bring Xiaoshu and their daughter together. If they talk about their usual affection at this time, wouldn't that be just handing Xiaoshu over to someone else?
Doesn’t Xiaoshu need to take a driving test?

Row,
Then send your daughter there too!

Fu Wanying smiled from ear to ear: "Since he was little, his father and I have never stopped Xiaoshu from doing anything. Whether he wants to get a driver's license or buy a car, he has the final say."

“Is this how geniuses are educated?”

"What's the matter with genius or not? Xiaoshu has been smart and independent since he was young. His father and I choose to believe in him."

"Come on, come on, cheers~"

"Once again, happy graduation for the kids!"

The family dinner was a great success, with the laughter surrounding Jiang Shu and the others never stopping from beginning to end.

After dinner, Qi Wanling and his wife drove home. Xiaolu wanted to play here for a while, so they let her go. After all, she had grown up and could take a taxi home anytime and anywhere. Even if she didn't want to go home and wanted to sleep on the tree bed, that was fine too.

Before they knew it, ten o'clock had passed. Fu Wanying and her husband washed up and went to bed early, leaving Jiang Shu and the other three playing truth or dare in Yaoyao's bedroom. Since their relationship was further confirmed, they played this kind of game with even more recklessness.

However, under the watchful eyes of their parents, Zhuzhu and Xiaolu did not dare to stay here overnight. If they could not help but get caught with Xiaoshu, they would be really finished.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, Bai Lu and Xu Xinzhu left reluctantly, and couldn't help but miss the rental house in Chengdu. No one disturbed them, and they didn't have to worry about being exposed. They could do whatever they wanted.

But after returning home, I can only watch and cannot even show some affection. It's so annoying.

"Yaoyao, let's go. Please let the little tree go tonight and let it recuperate and have a good rest. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will turn into a tree trunk tomorrow."

Zhong Yaoyao blushed: "I wouldn't dare to do that at home!"

Bai Lu whispered, "Everyone, have a good rest tonight, and we'll get a room tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

“You also need to buy seasoning packets!”

“Buy a box!”

"One box isn't enough. Xiaoshu is so powerful. We need at least two boxes."

"Who's going to buy it then? I'm so scared of being recognized."

"I have some at home. You can take mom and dad's."

"No, no, stupid Zhuzhu, we'll be discovered!"

"Hey, I'm just talking. I wouldn't dare to do that."

"Let Xiaoshu buy it. It's something he'll use himself, unless he wants to be a father soon!"

The three of them looked at each other, their delicate faces filled with shame.
