Having been given a second chance at life, who would still want to pursue her?

Chapter 335 Gifts from My Former Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law

The dinner table.

Chen Guochang was chatting with Lin Xinrong.

Wang Suling was pulling Feng Qian aside and whispering something to her.

Zhang Xinyi blinked, looking at her uncle and aunt's attentive manner.

I couldn't resist nudging the person sitting next to me, who was staring blankly with chopsticks in hand.

"Why don't you serve some food to your elders?"

Chen Jianji then realized what was happening and his vision returned to focus.

"Huh? What did you say?"

Zhang Xin said irritably.

"It's nothing! Just eat your food, you haven't touched a bite all day."

As she spoke, she reached out and picked up a piece of chicken leg meat, placing it in his bowl.

"Hey, isn't this your favorite food?"

Chen Jianji couldn't help but laugh, and finally picked up a piece of food and took a bite.

"Wow, that's rare. It's been ages since you were this well-behaved. But at home, there's plenty of chicken legs and stuff!"

Zhang Xinyi rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath.

"Tch, it wasn't me who saved it for you last time."

"I only gave you some food this time because you were still distracted for a while after you came back."

Chen Jianji paused in his eating, seemingly unsure whether he had heard clearly, but simply smiled.

"What are you muttering about? Could you be any louder?"

Zhang Xinyi suddenly put down her chopsticks, leaned forward, and whispered something.

"Hey, I can help you if necessary."

"Considering the way you took care of me at school, Liu Yun and I will go and beat up that guy surnamed Li to get revenge for you."

"I discussed it with her when I was learning to drive."

"puff!"

Chen Jianji almost spat out the mouthful of food he had just eaten.

Hearing the commotion, everyone else at the table looked over at him.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jianji quickly offered an explanation.

"I choked, you guys continue."

After saying that, he turned and glared at Zhang Xinyi, who was secretly laughing.

"How can a girl be so rude?"

"What kind of nonsense are you talking about with Liu Yun all day long! Did she teach you that?"

"No, you taught me!"

"Me? You're kidding me!"

"What else? You're always swearing. The first time you went to driving school, you even hit the instructor and that guy surnamed Li."

Chen Jianji's lips twitched, but he didn't say anything.

Zhang Xinyi continued speaking.

"I've also heard that you used to be even more outrageous, with a really bad temper, but now you're much more peaceful, aren't you?"

"Tsk, who told you that?"

Chen Jianji was immediately dissatisfied.

"I knew my limits, okay? I knew whether I should have hit someone or cursed at them."

"Are you suggesting we just put up with being bullied? If we do, they'll only take advantage of us."

Listen to what he says.

Zhang Xinyi took a sip of her drink, then blinked and spoke again in a low voice.

"Then why haven't you been yelling at that person lately?"

"Now, it feels more like I'm sulking?"

Chen Jianji stopped eating, chuckled, and then spoke.

"This is none of her business."

"Now?"

Zhang Xinyi wanted to say something more.

Chen Jianji, however, picked up a piece of green vegetable and put it in her bowl.

"Eat your food, stop babbling, and don't mention her again. I don't want to hear it."

"Tch, I didn't say who that person was, why are you so anxious?"

Chen Jianji did not continue speaking.

He didn't want to talk about these things in front of other people's elders.

Even if the two of them were whispering about it in private.

The dinner party ended in an awkward manner.

Just as Chan Kin-kei was about to help clear the dishes...

Wang Suling took the bowl from his hand and winked at him.

"Go see them off. Xin Yi and I can stay here."

"Isn't Dad already delivering it? We don't need him to, do we?"

As soon as Chen Jianji finished speaking, his mother pushed him out the door.

at this time.

Dad Chen Guochang was catching a chicken in the distance, with a box with air holes already opened next to him.

It looks like they want to catch a few and take them away.

Lin Xinrong happened to be on the handlebars of the black Jialing motorcycle and took a bag off.

The moment he turned around and saw Chen Jianji, he had a warm smile on his face.

"Little Chen, I was just about to go in, but you came out, so I'll just give it to you."

"This is?"

Chen Jianji subconsciously took it, and was just about to open it when...

Lin Xinrong grasped his hand and smiled.

"My daughter told me that you've helped her a lot over the years at school."

"We don't know what to give you."

"These are some dried specialties from my village, you can try them."

Chen Jianji stood still, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

"No need to be so polite, I didn't really help much."

Lin Xinrong shook her head.

"I know my daughter well. Ever since my health problems started, she's become stubborn, focused only on getting things done, and doesn't get along well with others."

"She is strong-willed, and perhaps because of her poor family background, she felt inferior to others, which made her more taciturn."

"Her mother and I were initially worried that she would be bullied after she went to high school."

"After all, this child doesn't tell his family anything."

"But over the years, we've all seen that she's become much more cheerful."

"These days, she's noticeably happier after each driving lesson; she always has a smile on her face."

"She also talks to us about learning to drive. Before, she would keep everything to herself and would never talk about anything."

...

Listening to his rambling words.

Chen Jianji stood motionless, carrying the bag.

"Oh dear, my mouth, maybe it's because I'm getting old, I want to talk a lot."

As Lin Xinrong spoke, she patted Chen Jianji on the shoulder.

"It's getting late, so I'm leaving. Tell your dad not to bother catching chickens. We didn't bring anything with us, so we feel bad."

"Let's go!"

As he spoke, he had already gotten on his bike.

Feng Qian, sitting in the back of the car, smiled and waved in his direction.

"Chen, thank you for taking care of Qingxue during this time."

"Please remember to keep these things safe; they're just a small token of our appreciation."

As the words fell.

boom...

The motorcycle emitted a rough engine sound.

Chan Kin-kei didn't even have time to wave.

The two of them disappeared around the corner in the dust they had raised.

"Hey, why did you leave? You brat, I just caught the chickens, why didn't you let them stay a little longer!"

Chen Guochang's voice came from not far away, as he was holding a box.

inside the house.

Wang Suling also came out, wiping her hands hurriedly.

"Why did you take so long to catch the chicken? It's in a hurry to get home, it can't wait!"

"No, why did you send the child away? Didn't you come yourself?"

"Didn't you say the kid seemed quite comfortable with everyone before, and I was worried he wouldn't feel comfortable enough to come out?"

"Oh, let's not talk about that."

Chen Guochang placed the box on the back of the motorcycle.

"Find me a rope, I'll tie it here. Old Lin's back has just recovered, he can't drive fast. I'll ride my bike down now, I think I can catch him at the foot of the mountain."

"Okay, here's the rope, hurry up and tie it up."

"But don't be too hasty while riding your bike. I'll call Lao Zhang later and have him stop the person at the intersection. You can drive slowly."

"Okay, you're very thoughtful. I understand."

...

Various sounds kept coming from my ears.

Chen Jianji could no longer hear clearly.

He looked down at the bag he was carrying.

Reach out and slowly open it.

Inside the red plastic bag.

It contained some flatbreads.

Chen Jianji himself has eaten there several times.

Lin Qingxue brought them to school to eat as breakfast or to make do when she didn't have a proper meal.
