Chapter 386 He lied to her!
"That's really outrageous." Su Yunling was shocked and speechless.

Li Yingtang: "She actually went to your aunt, wanting an explanation from me. I didn't make a scene at her son and daughter-in-law's workplace, which is already giving you and Brother Xue face."

Su Yunling was embarrassed: "I'll tell my aunt in a bit that it's getting late and I won't bother you anymore."

"Stay for a meal," Li Yingtang politely invited.

"No, Aunt Jiang, please let me know immediately if you come again," Su Yunling said.

"Hmm." Li Yingtang guessed that Aunt Jiang probably wouldn't dare to come again.

The reason he went to talk to Xue Jidong's aunt was probably to sow discord and try to get his aunt to come and confront him.

As a result, the aunt chose to have Su Yunling come over first to find out the truth.

Just as Li Yingtang had predicted.

For half a month, Aunt Jiang did not show up again.

She gradually got used to living alone.

I'm busy with work every day, and it's very fulfilling.

This is a day of rest on the winter solstice.

The two aunties took leave to go home for the holiday.

Li Yingtang spent her time alone in the study looking at calligraphy and painting design drafts.

hungry.

I put down what I was doing and went to the kitchen.

The courtyard was covered with a thick layer of snow.

"It's snowing!"

She came here around this time last year.

A year's time.

She went through marriage, starting a business, pregnancy, and her partner going abroad for further studies.

She's so busy.

Li Yingtang stepped into the kitchen.

Just as she boiled the water, the dog that had followed her into the kitchen suddenly barked twice.

Wang Wang!

Li Yingtang was startled: "What are you yelling about?"

The dog barked twice more.

Li Yingtang pondered: "Is someone at the door? Someone I know?"

In this weather, who's coming?
She went out to open the door, and Jia Yan and Xiao Qingfeng were standing at the door, pushing a cart. A thin layer of snow had accumulated on their coat hoods.

"Why are you here?"

"Today is the Winter Solstice. The auntie from the old house went home for the festival. I guessed you were all alone here, so I came over to make you some dumplings," Jia Yan said.

Li Yingtang welcomed them in. "Auntie made dumplings before her holiday, and I was just about to cook them. It's perfect that you've come over to eat together."

Jia Yan: "Your housekeeper is very attentive."

"Yes, both of my housekeepers are great." Li Yingtang returned to the kitchen, took off her coat, and opened the refrigerator to get dumplings.

The father and son cleaned the snow off themselves outside before going inside.

Li Yingtang had already cooked the dumplings and was standing by the stove watching the pot.

Jia Qingfeng walked over and said, "I'll do it."

Li Yingtang moved aside and sat at the dining table.

Jia Yan said, "I wonder how Xiao Xian is doing over there."

Li Yingtang: "Very good."

"You got in touch?"

“Yes, Lao Li’s glass factory handles foreign trade orders and can receive faxes from overseas. Ah Xian wrote to me saying that everything is going well for him there,” Li Yingtang said.

Jia Yan was relieved: "It's good that everything went smoothly."

After the dumplings were cooked, Li Yingtang started eating.

Jia Qingfeng suddenly said, "It's not as good as what Dad makes."

Li Yingtang's mouth watered immediately: "Really? Uncle Jia, there's beef in the fridge. I went to buy it this morning. I was planning to stew beef brisket for dinner. Or you could make some beef dumplings later, and I can cook them myself when I want to eat them."

Jia Yan readily agreed: "Okay."

After the meal, Jia Yan kneaded dough.

Jia Qingfeng was in charge of chopping the filling, while Li Yingtang, feeling embarrassed to be idle, peeled scallions to prepare the side dishes.

She made a point of watching while the seasonings were being added.

He followed the proportions strictly and even added an extra sugar.

She asked, "Who taught you to cook?"

"I haven't studied it."

Li Yingtang: "." It seems that cooking requires talent.

Just like Qin Xi.

Whenever she wanted to eat something, she could describe it to him, and no matter how complicated it was, he could make it.

The dumplings were all wrapped, and the snow outside was falling heavier and heavier.

Li Yingtang wouldn't let the father and son leave: "You can't see the road clearly now. My house has many rooms, so you can stay here and go back tomorrow morning when the snow stops."

Jia Yan: "It depends on the situation, Xue Xiao can leave." Li Yingtang didn't try to stop them, and after letting them do as they pleased, she returned to her study.

Jia Qingfeng sat in the living room and looked around. He noticed the photos hanging on the wall by the stairs and went over to take a look.

Almost all of them are photos of Li Yingtang and Qin Xian together.

At first, Qin Xian had a cold face, but as time went on, she smiled more and more, and her happiness was clearly visible.

He couldn't help but laugh.

His gaze fell on the last few photos, and he paused, saying, "Dad, come and take a look."

Jia Yan approached: "What are you looking at?"

“This person took a photo with you; he looked younger back then,” Jia Qingfeng said, pointing to Lin Ye’s photo in the frame.

Jia Yan had been here several times, but had never gone upstairs.

I didn't look closely at the photos hanging on the stairwell wall.

He confirmed, "Yes, his name is Lin Ye, and he actually knows Li Yingtang."

He thought of Li Yingtang's shooting posture and immediately thought of him.

Are the two in a relationship?
Jia Qingfeng: "Dad, have you noticed that Li Yingtang and the little girl next to Lin Ye look a bit alike?"

Jia Yan's eyes flickered: "Face shape and forehead resemblance, probably related."

“But Li Yingtang looks more like this little boy,” Jia Qingfeng said, pointing to a photo with Li Zhengui on it.

“They look more alike in real life, but they’re not related.” Jia Yan was completely baffled.

How can two completely unrelated people look so alike?

"Stop looking," he said.

Jia Qingfeng responded, went downstairs, returned to the living room, and sat down patiently, waiting for the snow outside to stop falling.

Li Yingtang in the study.

While I was drawing the design, I heard a cat scratching sound.

At first glance, I saw the cat sharpening its claws on the box where Qin Xian kept his books.

She angrily chased the cat out.

Looking at the paw prints on the box, I thought to myself, "After the New Year, I'll have the factory's painter come and touch up the paint."

It's warm inside.

Will the book get infested with insects?

Thinking of this, I quickly opened the lid to check.

wink.

Where's the book?

He lied to her!
It's full of children's things.

Diapers, blankets, bottles, baby clothes, shoes and socks.

Off-white, suitable for both men and women.

There is also a set of small wooden carving toys.

When did he do all this?
"Was the mugwort mallet prepared for me?"

Li Yingtang picked it up and rubbed her back: "It feels quite comfortable."

There were countless herbal sachets, each labeled with its uses, some for repelling insects, others for repelling mosquitoes.

"What is this?" Li Yingtang picked up the bottles and jars below.

It's a skincare product, and its functions are listed on the label. They are all moisturizing products, but different skin types require different products.

There are also two recipes for previous product improvements.

There was a note underneath: "Tangtang, all I can do is these insignificant things. Thank you for your hard work."

Li Yingtang smiled and said, "I don't think it's insignificant."

This is all he can give.

That's it.

One should not have too high expectations.

She put down the letter and left the study.

In the living room, Jia Yan said, "Yingtang, the snow has stopped outside, let's go back first."

"Okay." Li Yingtang was about to see them off.

Jia Yan said, "It's cold outside, so you shouldn't go out."

"I need to lock the door."

Jia Yan smiled, his concern making him lose his composure, which was absolutely true. "Luckily, Xiao Xian didn't inherit my brain."

Li Yingtang smiled politely: "I know you are a college student, and you got into university based on your own merit."

Jia Jia and Ah Xian's generation were recommended to attend university, but their academic abilities are unknown.

Looking back now, their abilities were rather weak.

That year, Jia Qingfeng no longer received recommendations because in those days, students filled out their college applications before receiving their scores. His score was a few points below the university he applied to, and he failed to get in.

Jia Yan contacted the school again and asked a good teacher to let him repeat a year of high school, but his grandmother Jia refused and arranged for him to join the army. After many years of hard work, he got a promotion opportunity and told his family. But his grandmother Jia, for some unknown reason, made him retire from the army.

These are all things my aunt said.

Fortunately, Old Madam Jia is dead; otherwise, Jia Qingfeng's future path would have been entirely dependent on Old Madam Jia's arrangements.
