li meriting and xia jinzhi were sitting on a stone bench beside the flower bed downstairs.
xia jinzhi was still a little angry when she thought about how jing muchen had been rude to her just now. she coughed lightly and said,â in-law, i was a little rude just now. let me apologize to you firstâ¦however, iâve already expressed my intentions very clearlyâ¦! hope that your reeves family can consider the feelings of our wu familyâ¦â
li menting frowned. xia jinzhi had been jumping around since a while ago. she didnât look like someone with a heart attack at allâ¦
of course, this was only her inner criticism. on the surface, she still replied politely,âin-law, itâs not that we donât want to considerâ¦â yanyan is the grandson of our family. how can we let you raise him? it wonât be nice if it gets out.â
xia jinzhi was so angry that she stood up.â then, would it be better if you let little uncle raise the child?â
li mentingâs head hurt so much that she blurted out anxiously,â chen chen isnât yanyanâs uncle. chen chen is yanyanâsâ¦â
âmom!â a clear voice came from the side, stopping li menting from speaking.
zhang luoya had just married into the jing family and wanted to take this opportunity to please her parents-in-law. so she went out to buy takeout porridge today. unexpectedly, she saw li menting sitting on the stone bench by the flower bed as soon as she got out of the car. she was so happy that she immediately ran over from afar to greet her.
âloyaâ¦â li menting looked at her travel-worn face and the porridge in her hand. she smiled and said,â youâre here to buy food for yanyan again?â youâre reallyâ¦! already told you that iâm here to take care of yanyanâ¦â
âthe company wasnât busy, so i came over to take a look. 1 was just afraid that you wouldnât be able to take care of everything by yourself, mom⦠grandpaâs health is not good, and dad and all chen are busyâ¦â zhang luoya looked like a filial daughter-in-law.
when xia jinzhi saw that it was li muchenâs remarried wife, zhang luoya, she snorted coldly in her heart and turned her head away. she did not even bother to greet him.
âeh, who is this?â zhang luoya looked at the woman who had her back to her. she seemed to be talking to her mother just now. why was she so cold when she came?
li menting chuckled.â this isâ¦â all chenâs ex-wifeâs mother.â
âoh.â zhang luoyaâs gaze shifted to the ex-wifeâs mother. why was this person still loitering around d city every day?
then, she smiled brightly.â mom, i bought seafood porridge from jinrui restaurant. itâs delicious and easy to digest. itâs suitable for patientsâ¦â doesnât yanyan like seafood the most? letâs hurry up and send it up to him.â
âsure.â li menting nodded and walked towards the door with zhang luoyaâs help.
âwait, iâll go too.â xia jinzhi was thick-skinned. she picked up her bag and followed him.
when they arrived at the ward, they pushed the door open and saw that jing muchen was not in the ward. they only saw jing yanxi lying quietly on the small bed, not crying or making a fuss. li menting and xia jinzhi were more or less relieved.
âyanyan, are you starving? auntie brought you delicious seafood porridgeâ¦â zhang luoya put the porridge on the table, as if she was taking credit for it. she opened the lid and the fragrance spread out instantly.
âauntie?â xia jinzhi frowned and said sarcastically,â itâs fine if you donât want to be yanyanâs stepmother, but isnât it a little too enthusiastic to call me auntie?â
zhang luoya was stunned. li menting tried to smooth things over. all⦠yanyan, come, iâll get some porridge for you. you must be starving after not eating for a dayâ¦.â
