This matter is like Zhou Yanjing's Achilles' heel.
The three years of wasted time between him and Lin Yuxi were the main culprits that made her avoid him like a snake and scorpion, and that their beautiful and lovely daughter still could not be born.
Now that area has become a sensitive area for both of them, and no one can touch or mention it.
Seeing the two people walking in side by side and standing together, Zhou Yanjing's sensitive radar was triggered.
Even though Lin Yuxi personally admitted that he didn't love his eldest brother, he still desperately wanted to build an indestructible barrier between the two of them.
He couldn't tell that his eldest brother was deliberately making him angry.
Zhou Yanjing stared at Zhou Sheng'an's back, squinted his eyes, and turned around and said to Lin Yuxi: "Next time you see him, run faster."
"Why should I listen to you?" Lin Yuxi said.
Zhou Yanjing glanced at her: "Because if you slow down a little bit, you will remember that I confessed to you, and you will be embarrassed and want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in."
"..."
He really understands her.
When grandma saw him approaching Lin Yuxi to talk, she immediately stood up from the sofa, came over angrily, and pulled him aside.
Pulling Lin Yuxi's arm and walking inside, she said, "Ignore him!"
Like a parent who is afraid that his child will be bullied by a bad kid.
Lin Yuxi paid New Year greetings to the elders in order and said a few auspicious words.
Ling Yaqiong nodded and took out a red envelope and gave it to her.
Lin Yuxi was stunned for a moment: "No, I'm so old, I don't need to receive red envelopes."
"Keep it." Ling Yaqiong said.
Lin Yuxi had no choice but to take it: "Thank you, Aunt Ling."
Ling Yaqiong wore a custom-made cheongsam, purple velvet, and dark peony embroidery, which was elegant and graceful. She came from a wealthy family and had a kind of elegance about her.
I don't know if it was because of the holiday, but when she talked to Lin Yuxi today, she was more kind than before.
"You and Yan Jing's affairs are the same. It's time to come back in the future. I've watched you grow up. There's no need to live apart from one another."
"...Oh." Lin Yuxi responded obediently, her mood being flattered.
Why is Ling Yaqiong so nice to her?
In fact, it's because since yesterday, the old lady has sighed every five minutes at home, and then looked at the Zhou family with sad and sad eyes: "You eat well and drink spicy food here, leaving my good grandson alone." Being alone outside, celebrating the Chinese New Year, I can’t even get a hot meal.”
It makes everyone feel guilty every time they take a bite of food.
Ling Yaqiong said: "It's not like we won't let her come back. She's on duty today. You didn't ask Lao Zhang to deliver the food."
The old lady became even more resentful: "What's the use of me remembering her? What if I just kick off my legs and walk away? Who cares whether she eats or not? A motherless child is like grass!"
When it comes to moral kidnapping, the old lady is a professional.
Ling Yaqiong was so frustrated that she lost her temper.
Lin Yuxi took out the New Year gifts she had prepared. Grandma, Zhou Qizhen, and Ling Yaqiong all had them.
My eldest brother also has one, a pen.
They are all practical things, not too expensive. After all, the Zhou family lacks everything, and anyone is much richer than her.
But she must do her best, the Zhou family raised her, and this kindness must be remembered no matter what.
Zhou Yanjing handed the lady's bag to the servant, followed slowly, and glanced at everyone holding a gift.
"where is my present?"
As soon as he said this, several pairs of eyes looked at him.
Don't you have any idea in your mind?
The old lady's cashmere scarf was a pink color, which she found very rare. It was twenty-eight degrees in the room, so she couldn't wait to put it on her neck.
The scarf was too long, and her body bones were already weak, and she could not wrap her arms around it. While struggling to reach it, she spurned her own grandson: "You still have the nerve to ask for it!"
"Why not." Zhou Yanjing helped her pull the scarf over, wrapped it around it, and tied it at the end, "Isn't my face inherited from your beauty?"
The old lady laughed twice, then immediately put on a cold face and said: "Bah!"
Zhou Yanjing saw that Lin Yuxi had no intention of giving it to him, so he reached out and took the bag containing her gift.
empty.
It’s really gone.
He raised his eyes and looked at Lin Yuxi.
Lin Yuxi's expression was very open and she didn't feel guilty at all.
The "isolated" Zhou Yanjing was not very mentally balanced, especially when he saw the Montblanc pen in Zhou Sheng'an's hand.
It's not a rare thing either.
But he didn't.
Zhou Yanjing licked his back molars, which were as sour as if they had just been picked from the lemon tree.
Little heartless. Of all the people, he loved her the most.
"Okay. You also know how to give me a bag." He held the empty paper bag in his hand and said in a very pleased tone, "How did you know that I lacked a bag?"
"..."
"..."
Lin Yuxi was silenced by him.
In the eerie silence that filled the room, Ling Yaqiong rubbed her forehead with a headache.
Zhou Qizhen held his blood pressure monitor and wanted to take a test now.
Zhou Sheng'an couldn't stand it anymore and cleared his throat: "Why don't we start dinner."
In the dining room, the servants have prepared a sumptuous dinner.
Lin Yuxi helped her grandma go to the restaurant and advised her: "Take off your scarf first, it will be inconvenient to eat."
The old lady listened to the advice: "Put it on for me after I finish eating."
Lin Yuxi helped her take off her scarf, and was about to go back to sit next to Zhou Yanjing when she was pulled by the old lady.
She gave up the main seat to Zhou Qizhen, sat on the side, and pulled Lin Yuxi to the seat next to her: "You sit here."
In that case, Ling Yaqiong would have to sit back. There is no reason for a junior to sit on top of an elder.
Lin Yuxi said hurriedly: "I'd better sit over there."
"Sit down." Ling Yaqiong was really tired of being tormented by her mother-in-law.
Lin Yuxi sat down confused, wondering why grandma was so willful today.
Zhou Yanjing knew.
Throughout dinner, Lin Yuxi sat next to the old lady, across the entire table from him.
After eating, she stayed at home for a while and then left.
Grandma did not force her to stay and sent the driver who picked her up to take her back.
Her thin figure stood at the door. Lin Yuxi asked her to go back, saying it was windy outside, but she refused, waving her hand and watching the car drive away.
When she reaches her age, she will have a mentality that young people cannot empathize with: people always meet once and rarely see each other.
She stood in the cold wind and stared until the car was out of sight.
A cold figure behind her said: "You are so reluctant to leave, how about I take you to chase her?"
The old lady Hun'er was almost scared to death by him, and slapped him on the arm: "You little bastard, you are so annoying!"
"What are you bothering about? It's not very exciting to be a stumbling block for me." Zhou Yanjing crossed his arms and leaned against the door frame, giving her a faint look, "Two months ago, he was still giving me benefits, and now he is stumbling on me again. Why are you so unpredictable?"
"Who asked you to bully Xiaoxi? Stay away from her in the future!" The old lady felt distressed when she thought about it. "She was already pitiful. She has lost her parents since she was a child. You still bully her. Where is your conscience?"
"I was wrong." Zhou Yanjing sighed, but his attitude was correct, "Do me a favor and help me get your granddaughter-in-law back."
"I won't help you. Who said you wouldn't let me take care of it?" The old lady snorted heavily, "I can't trust her to you again. You only inherited my appearance and nothing else." You are single-minded. Our old Zhou family has never produced a scumbag like you. Look at your grandfather being gone for so many years, and I haven’t remarried yet."
Zhou Yanjing smiled and said helplessly: "It's okay if you don't help me, but don't hold me back."
He straightened up, opened the door to let the old lady in, held the door behind her, and said lightly: "Otherwise, I will complain to grandpa. You hindered the birth of his great-granddaughter and asked him to bring the ancestors of the Zhou family in the evening. I want to talk to you."
