Chapter 1283: Family Feast or Hongmen Banquet
it go without saying a few words to vent the resentment that had been building up inside her. 。Whether I stay or leave is not up to you to decide. What you just said are private matters between me an..."Mommy, don't do that. " 。Even though we broke up, you and I can still be friends. Having a meal together after the breakup isn't a big deal. 。Mom, wait for me to get better and then you can go see Grandma. If I don't come back, it's okay. 。But since you're sick today, let's have a meal together. 。“
Ban Yue was a little disappointed, but she didn't give up.
She used her illness to convince her mother, and her mother's pity led to tonight's dinner. 。"Half-moon..." "Mama, Half-moon is still sick, just rely on her..." 。“
Qin Jingwen still wanted to find an excuse for herself. At this time, Qiao Zixuan, who had been silent all along, spoke up and interrupted her mother's words ” Let me know if you need anything else translated!。He knew his mother was in a difficult position, knowing that her relationship with his father had no possibility. 。But he still stood on the side of Half Moon, he just felt sorry for Half Moon's illness, he just wanted to fulfill Half Moon's little wish. 。"Well... alright then" 。" Qin Jingwen agreed, but how much difficulty she was feeling the child couldn't feel, and how unwilling she was, the child also couldn't understand. " 。But if you agree, then you have to follow through. You can't let your own reluctance affect the child's mood. 。 Qiao Shunchen drove back to pick up Qin Jingwen and her son. 。 On the way to the restaurant, it was always Half-Moon who was adjusting the atmosphere in the car. She was the central figure, one moment playing mischievously with her father, and the next chatting with her mother. Throughout the entire journey, Qin Jing and Qiao Shunchen didn't have a single exchange. 。Joe Shun-chen's designated restaurant was Luo Zhenghao's hot pot restaurant, which Qin Jingwen hadn't expected before. 。Luckily, Luo Zhenghao wasn't at the shop right now. 。The four of them arrived at the private room Qiao Shunchen had reserved. As Qin Jingwen pushed open the door, she discovered that Qiao Yu and Jiang Kai were already inside. 。At that moment, when she saw Qiao Yu, she momentarily forgot about Qiao Yu's previous attitude towards her. All she remembered was the time when they were close as sisters, talking about everything and nothing. 。Just as Qin Jingwen unconsciously smiled and was about to greet him, Qiao Yu's eyes revealed disgust, hatred, and even gloom. 。Qin Jingwen almost immediately sobered up, realizing that the sisterly bond was now in the past. Now Qiao Yu and Qiao Shunchen hated her just like they did each other. 。Qin Jingwen's initially warm heart suddenly plunged into an ice cave. The feeling of being frozen was a completely new experience for her. 。She had no mood to greet him, but she turned her head and glared hatefully at Qiao Shunchen. 。Joe Shunchen knew his sister was too harsh on her, and he knew that the two would feel awkward when they met. He had deliberately arranged this meeting with Joe Shunchen, which was a way to torment Qin Jingwen. 。As for Qiao Shunchen, after exchanging a glance with Qin Jingwen, he looked away and walked into the private room alone. 。"Hello aunt, hello uncle" 。Two children greeted each other first, and then walked in. 。Hello, cutie pie 。Your uncle misses you all. 。" Jiang Kai's reaction was more enthusiastic, while Qiao Yu was just average. " 。Her dissatisfaction with Qin Jingwen was clearly transferred onto the child. 。"Come in, Wenwen. Dinner is almost ready." 。“
Jiang Kai still greeted Qin Jingwen, and Jiang Kai stood up to call out to Qin Jingwen" 。At this point, Qin Jingwen was both angry and at a loss. No matter how Qiao Yu treated her, after all, the situation hadn't been made clear, and Jiang Kai remained as gentle towards her as ever. 。At this point, if she turned around and left, they might think she was the one causing trouble. 。Since everyone isn't being straightforward, if Qiao Yu can sit at the same table and eat with her, Qin Jingwen shouldn't have any issues either. 。“Thank you, brother-in-law” 。I wasn't prepared for your arrival at all. 。" Then Qin Jingwen responded and walked in, which also served as a greeting to Qiao Yu. " 。On Qiao Yu's left was Jiang Kai, and on her right was Qiao Shunchen. 。Jiang Kai's left is two children. 。Two children and the position between them, with three positions in total, were left to be filled. Qin Jingwen chose one of the middle positions. 。Do not approach Qiao Shunchen, nor the child. 。...And only after Qin Jingwen sat down did she feel a sense of isolation. 。Or to say that I am like a criminal sitting alone in a position waiting to be interrogated by the Qiao siblings. 。Qin Jingwen secretly mocked herself, not knowing if today was a family dinner or a Hongmen banquet, and she didn't know what the result of this meal would be in the end. 。"I just placed my order, but I didn't know Winnie and the child would be coming, so I didn't order that much. 。What does Wenwen and the child like to eat, let's order some. 。Jiang Kai was talking and beckoning a waiter when Qin Jingwen interrupted him. 。"Brother-in-law, just eat whatever is here, if it's not enough we can order more." 。" Qin Jingwen stopped Jiang Kai, not because she had any other intentions, but simply because she wasn't in the mood to eat. Ordering any amount of dishes would just be a waste."
Qin Jingwen also heard a piece of information in Jiang Kai's words, Qiao Shunchen didn't tell her that Qiao Yu would come, and he didn't tell Qiao Yu that she would come either. 。If Qiao Yu knew she was coming, she definitely wouldn't be sitting here. 。Even knowing that even if her child pleaded with her, she wouldn't come. 。“It’s good too ” 。Then let's have dinner. 。Jiang Kai listened to Qin Jingwen's opinion, but the atmosphere at the moment made him feel very embarrassed. 。Under the table, he had reminded Qiao Yu several times with his hands, but Qiao Yu still refused to speak. 。Dinner began in an awkward atmosphere. Qin Jingwen only ate a little bit of vegetables, and the rest of the time was spent taking care of the child. 。"Mom, you should eat some too. You haven't eaten anything yet." 。"
It's been a while since the meal started, Qiao Zixuan saw that his mother hadn't eaten anything nutritious, so he opened his mouth to take care of his mother >>> 。"Mommy has food, you can eat more." 。" Qin Jingwen responded, from the beginning to now, only Qiao Zixuan who understands her cares about her. It seems that she has not been isolated, at least her son thoughtfully thinks of her." 。When Qin Jingwen's voice fell, she saw Qiao Zixuan take his own cutlery and sit beside Qin Jingwen. Then he picked up the ordering device next to him and started ordering. 。"Xuan Xuan, do you want to eat something" Qin Jingwen saw this and asked Qiao Zixuan. 。"These are all for Mom, none of them are things Mom likes to eat" 。“Joe Hsu answered without any pretense, and it seemed somewhat deliberate.” 。"Mom can eat anything, if there's too much and she can't finish it, it will be a waste." 。Qin Jingwen never expected Qiao Zixuan to order food for her. 。>While it warms the heart, it's also important to remind children about the need for conservation. 。"Others don't waste food, and Mom doesn't either." 。If the previous sentence was somewhat deliberate, Qiao Zixuan's statement is even more targeted. 。"Xuan Xuan is such a good boy, knowing how to take care of his mom." 。Ask your mom what she likes to eat and order some for her. Also, tell us what you like to eat and order some for yourselves. 。Today, my uncle is treating you guys, eat whatever you like. 。As long as you are happy, just eat as much as you like. 。The child's words made Jiang Kai a little embarrassed, but after all, it was a child, Jiang Kai didn't think too much about it. 。"Thank you, Uncle!" Qiao Zixuan responded without being polite, but with a serious face. 。Qin Jingwen didn't stop the child from ordering food. She accepted the child's thoughtfulness with pleasure. 。During the wait for the meal, the table was silent and no one spoke. 。After Qiao Zixuan got the things his mother ordered, he began to take care of his mother again. 。These are all your favorites, be sure to eat more. 。"Okay, I will definitely eat more " 。Qin Jingwen accepted Qiao Zixuan's concern with a warm heart, but she didn't expect that Qiao Zixuan's concern had ulterior motives. 。"Auntie, you seem unhappy today" 。"Is it because Uncle said he was going to treat us"
Joe Zixuan brewed for a long time, paving the way for half a day, finally pointing the spearhead at Joe Yu
Qiao Yu was taken aback by Qiao Zi Xuan's sudden words, looking at him in disbelief. 。This is also the first time Qiao Yu has looked directly at Qiao Zixuan since the meal started. 。His eyes were filled with a protective desire, a firm belief in protecting his mother. 。"Auntie, don't worry about today's groceries. I'll buy them. You don't have to, Auntie." 。" Qiao Zixuan spoke readily, not giving Qiao Yu any chance to speak. However, in his sharp eyes, there was a myriad of dissatisfaction towards his aunt. " 。"Huanhuan is so good at making jokes, how could Auntie be unhappy about a meal" 。Your uncle has already said he'll pay the bill, so don't argue with him about it, okay 。Jiang Kai quickly spoke up to help Qiao Yu ease the awkwardness. This time, he saw why Qiao Zixuan had been showing concern for his mother before—it was because of his resentment towards Qiao Yu, and it was a way of resisting her. 。"Okay, XuanXuan, this time I'll let your uncle treat us. You can save your money and next time you treat me and your uncle." 。“ Qin Jingwen also quickly followed the atmosphere, she was aware of Qiao Zixuan's intention only when he turned his spear towards Qiao Yu. ” 。No matter what, no matter Qiao Yu's attitude towards the two children is, Qin Jingwen doesn't want the two children to get involved in adult affairs. 。But what she didn't expect was still to come. She didn't expect Qiao Zixuan to not take her reminder to heart at all and continue Jiang Kai's words. 。"No But auntie clearly doesn't seem happy, does she" 。Before we came in, my aunt and uncle must have been chatting and laughing. The moment we opened the door, my aunt's smile froze..."Xuan Xuan..."Qin Jingwen saw that she couldn't control Qiao Zixuan's pace, so she quickly interrupted him. 。But Qiao Zixuan was determined to protect his mother, so he had to make his aunt understand that she couldn't treat his mother casually. 。"Mom, your food is all cooked. Eat a little more." 。After blocking his mother's words, Qiao Zixuan continued speaking. 。"When Auntie saw us, her smile froze. Then she glared at Mom with disgust. She even ignored us when we greeted her." 。Oh… I understand. Auntie is unhappy because she saw us. Auntie doesn't like Mom, and that means she doesn't like me and Half-Moon either. 。"Oh... I remembered something else. My aunt acted like that towards Mom last time at Grandpa's house too. It seems she's disliked us since then." 。After Qiao Zixuan finished speaking, his questioning eyes were fixed on Qiao Yu. 。Aunt's attitude had changed, Qiao Zixuan noticed it since their last meeting, but he thought he was overthinking it. He just thought his aunt was in a bad mood that day and wasn't targeting Mom. 。But today, auntie is still like this. Then, her attitude isn't just simple anymore, it's deliberately targeting mom. 。He doesn't allow anyone to hurt Mom, he doesn't allow anyone to bully Mom, not even his own aunt. 。Joe Xu's words left everyone speechless, especially Qiao Yu. She couldn't have imagined that she would be rendered speechless by a child's words. 。"Xuan Xuan, you're thinking too much. Auntie didn't mean anything." 。"at should I say..." 。We have no relationship, you don't need to worry about me. 。"Leaving was mostly because I needed to get away from you. Can't you just give me some space" Qin Lan wanted to yell, b...
