However, the matter was not over yet. After Lin Gantang stabbed him in the heart, she placed the half bowl of prawns he had peeled in front of Lin Zhaonan. âYouâre so petty. I only ate two prawns from you. Here you go.â
Lin Zhaonan glanced at Gu Hejun and ate with a clear conscience.
Hejun thought, âMy heart is blocked.â
Mr. Lin and Gu Liangdong were clinking glasses, chatting about what they had seen and heard in recent years. Lin Gantang was focused on eating, and when she felt it tasted good, she would use the serving chopsticks to pick some up to let Jiang Tongtong have a taste.
Lin Zhaonan saw that the relationship between the two sisters-in-law was getting better and better. Suddenly, he felt a little uncomfortable. âEat it yourself. Sheâs my wife. You donât have to take food for her.â
Would Lin Gantang listen to him? Of course not. âThose who have slept with me are considered mine. How can it be just your wife?â
âWhat else? Could she be your wife? Did Wen Yanqing agree?â Lin Zhaonan was amused.
Jiang Tongtong covered her mouth and snickered.
Lin Gantang felt that her brother was being unreasonable and ignored him. She secretly took a photo of the sweet and sour pork ribs and sent it to Wen Yanqing. âThis tastes pretty good. Iâll learn how to cook it for you.â
She put her phone back into her pocket after sending the message.
Gu Hejun had a lot to say to Lin Gantang after he returned from abroad, but he had never found a good opportunity. There were too many people at the moment, and it was not suitable to speak in detail. So he said to Lin Gantang, âIâll send you back after dinner. There are some things I want to chat with you about.â
âIâll go back with my brother.â Lin Gantang didnât understand. âIf you have something to say, say it now. Why are you being so coy?â
Gu Hejun thought, âItâs just⦠I have no idea where to start.â
Lin Gantang picked up a piece of pork rib and placed it in her bowl. âWhy havenât you found a girlfriend yet?â she asked. âShall I introduce one to you?â âAlright,â Gu Hejun gave up on himself.
âWhat do you like?â Lin Gantang didnât expect him to agree. She immediately perked up.
Gu Hejun glanced at her vaguely. âSomeone like you.â
âThere are plenty of people like me.â Lin Gantang felt that it was too easy. âWait a while. Iâll talk to my friend first and see if sheâs willing to do this.â
Gu Hejun facepalmed.
âPfft.â Lin Zhaonan choked and started coughing.
Lin Gantang raised her head and frowned. Her tone was filled with disdain. âBrother, what are you doing? Youâre already an adult, yet youâre still so careless when eating.â
âIâm sorry.â Lin Zhaonan held back his laughter and took the water from Jiang Tongtong to soothe his throat.
Wen Yanqingâs message came in. Lin Gantang lowered her head to look at her phone.
âIâll cook for you when you come over.
âWhich uncle is sitting opposite you?â
The photo happened to capture Gu Liangdongâs body. Lin Gantang said, âItâs Uncle Gu. Dad was with him. The two families are having a meal together.â âGu Hejun is there too?â
âHeâs right next to me,â Lin Gantang said.
âAt Elegant Restaurant? Itâs a pity that Iâm not free. Otherwise, I should go and see Uncle Gu. How about this, you pay the bill for me as a token of appreciation?â
Lin Gantang replied âalrightâ.
It was almost time for Lin Gantang to leave her seat to pay the bill in advance before leisurely returning to continue eating.
When the two families were full, Mr. Gu called for the waiter, but Mr. Lin stopped him and said to let him treat them.
Lin Gantang didnât want to see the polite exchange of âIâll do it, Iâll do itâ, âno need, no need, let meâ. She took out a tissue to wipe her hands and calmly said, âThereâs no need. Yanqing has already paid the bill. His membership has been pre-deposited. He said to treat Uncle and Dad.â
Gu Hejun suddenly felt that the meat in his mouth was no longer fragrant.
Youâre not here, but youâre so d*mn annoying.
Wen Yanqing thought, âAlthough Iâm not there, my name must be included in this dinner..â
