Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Jing Yao left, the atmosphere at the dining table was not much better.
Zhang Hui ate his food slowly. He could not help but sigh in his heart.
Everyone knew why Jing Yao left the table in advance.
Finding such an excuse could be considered giving face to the Zhang Family.
No matter how slow Zhang Li was, she could tell what everyone knew.
Thinking of her daughter’s rejection of her, she lowered her head and her eyes turned red.
Yu He sat beside Zhang Li and had been paying attention to her situation.
She knew very well that today had to pa.s.s calmly. If anything happened because Zhang Li lost control of her emotions, she would probably not be able to calm down for a long time.
She picked up a piece of braised chicken for Zhang Li from the plate in front of her and said, “Try this braised chicken. This is Auntie w.a.n.g’s best dish.”
Zhang Li looked up at Yu He and thanked her with a stiff smile.
She had never been good at judging people since she was young. At that time, she felt that Yu He was a weak, incompetent, and scheming woman. She had never liked Yu He.
Other than feeling that she was not worthy of Second Brother, she also felt that she came from a bad background. Why would a hypocritical woman like Yu He obtain her father’s approval? Jing Mo was gentle and refined, but no one in the family liked him.
However, it seemed like Yu He had never been stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart.
Moreover, she and Second Brother were very good.
As Zhang Jing and his wife were both calm and dignitaries, they gave off a feeling of respect.
As for Zhang Ji and Yu He, they were sweeter.
Liang Xun and Jing Yao interacted more like Zhang Ji and Yu He. The two of them were almost inseparable.
After dinner, the family sat in the living room and drank tea while playing with Little Dumpling.
With Zhang Chu as his new playmate, Liang Jing finally didn’t have to pester Jing Yao like before.
Jing Yao had some free time, but that was her personality. She didn’t like to talk when there were many people. She just sat quietly beside Liang Xun and listened.
Zhang Li sat next to Yu He and kept looking at Jing Yao.
She actually wanted to talk to Jing Yao, but Jing Yao refused to look at her at all.
Moreover, Liang Xun was sitting beside Jing Yao. Liang Xun looked very imposing. Not to mention talking to Jing Yao, even if Zhang Li stared at Jing Yao for a long time, she would receive a light and warning look from Liang Xun.
Everyone present was smart, especially Zhang Hui, who had lived for decades and had experienced all kinds of ups and downs.
At this moment, he actually regretted it.
At that time, he should not have softened his heart and agreed to let Zhang Li come over. Now, no one was happy.
He thought that Zhang Li would not do anything to make Jing Yao unhappy now that she had changed.
However, he had completely forgotten that damage was damage. Time would only temporarily hide the damage, but it could not be completely erased.
Zhang Li didn’t need to do anything. Her existence made Jing Yao unhappy.
“It’s about time to rest,” Zhang Hui said expressionlessly.
No one said anything. They all looked at him.
Zhang Hui looked at Jing Yao and Liang Xun and said to them, “Especially the two of you. You must be tired after playing for a day. Rest early. If you want to go somewhere else to play tomorrow, let Zhang Ting take you there.”
Before Jing Yao and the others could speak, Zhang Hui had already stood up with his walking stick.
Jing Yao stood up and walked to Zhang Hui’s side to support him.
Zhang Hui waved his hand. “There’s no need to help me. 1 can walk by myself.”
Jing Yao nodded obediently, but she still held Zhang Hui’s arm.
Zhang Hui didn’t take a step forward but looked at Jing Yao.
Jing Yao looked back innocently.
Zhang Hui was silent for a moment and couldn’t help but laugh. “Alright, let’s go. I have something to tell you.”
With that, they went to his room.
Seeing that his mother was about to leave, Little Dumpling instinctively wanted to chase after her, but Liang Xun carried him.
Zhang Ting saw Jing Yao’s series of actions just now and asked Liang Xun in disbelief, “Is Yaoyao like this at home? She agreed but didn’t take action.”
Speaking of this, Liang Xun felt a little helpless.
He said, “She’s like this. I told her that she could only eat one ice cream. She agreed and naturally went to get another one after eating.”
Zhang Ting was speechless.
As far as he knew, Jing Yao wasn’t like this in the past. She used to be very careful.
Such a change was probably caused by Liang Xun..
