"Oh..." Hua Hua nodded, half understanding and half not.
...
When Han Yi came down from upstairs, he saw the two little ones in the kitchen squatting to the side secretly eating something. He tugged his lips and didnât say anything.
Kids are just kids, they donât understand adult matters.
But over in the study, the argument was getting more and more heated. However, Old Mrs. Mei and Mr. Mei were in quite good health; even like this, neither of them fainted. Their voices were still strong. "I remember now, I saw that woman before, before Shuping got married, when I went to his house to play, I saw her. At that time, she was the Mei Familyâs maid," Xie Lingzhi knew about this.
Liang Qian didnât know, because she didnât know Mei Shuqing before they got married, and she wasnât part of their circle either.
"At that time, Father-in-law wasnât young, was he? Over forty, right?"
Discussing this topic, the two sisters-in-law surprisingly werenât bickering.
"Indeed, but forty is just the age when men are vigorous."
Their conversation made Ye Qing tug her lips. She was very pleased at the moment, and the unhappy feelings from the banquet in the evening had faded because she was happy to see Old Mrs. Mei having bad luck.
Unexpectedly, Chen Haichang turned out to be Mr. Meiâs son. She had asked him before why he wanted to help him, and the man just said that he had a grudge against the Mei Family. Those who bullied the Mei Family were his friends.
Unexpectedly, it was this kind of relationship. Seems like there will be a good show to watch in the future.
"Sister-in-law, I advise you, itâs best to find an expert to look at the house. This old house is haunted, itâs hereditary."
Liang Qianâs words caught Xie Lingzhiâs attention. Indeed, among the three men living here, two have illegitimate children. And her son is in this situation now. But there wasnât a single good word from Liang Qian between the lines.
"Hmph, I think your family also needs to find someone to take a look, to prevent in advance, so that in the future the great-grandson wonât imitate his father and pick up trash."
"You keep talking about picking up trash, arenât you afraid the Tao Family will hear it and find fault with your son, haha..."
"You..." Xie Lingzhi was choked by Liang Qianâs words, and both mother and sonâs faces turned a bit dark.
Han Yi was afraid Liang Qian would suffer, so he quickly escorted her to the dining table, afraid they might start fighting. "Mom, what you should be worried about is not this, you should worry about what to do if this Third Uncle really enters the house," Mei Langchi quietly reminded his mom.
"Whatâs there to worry about? Originally, we split the family, this house was meant for your dad," Xie Lingzhi spoke with reason, Mei Shuping is the eldest, so it should be passed to him.
They split up long ago. Even if he comes, he canât take the eldestâs possessions.
"Donât worry, we wonât interfere. A person comes out of nowhere, we sure wonât welcome them." There already was one extra Han Yi in the family, she was quite unsatisfied. Fortunately, Han Yi and they arenât in the Capital City. Now comes one more like this, who knows what the situation is.
"That person is not easy to deal with," Mei Langchi squinted his eyes and said. Today they saw that man being very arrogant, not even caring about Grandpa.
Sending a turtle in front of so many people is a brutal way to embarrass his grandfather.
A perfect banquet was ruined by him like this.
....
The argument in the study lasted for more than two hours before it ended. Old Mrs. Mei and Mr. Mei were no longer speaking to each other and went to bed separately that night.
Mei Shuping and Mei Shuqing each had a stern face, obviously angry. But no one said anything.
After Mei Shuqing and his wife left, Han Yi went upstairs too.
He found Lin Wan still awake, engrossed in a comic book she found from somewhere, lying on the bed.
"When did Xingxing fall asleep?"
"Just fell asleep, howâs it downstairs?" Lin Wan sat up and asked in a low voice.
"Same as always. Mr. Mei doesnât admit it, but everyone knows the truth. Itâs obvious."
"Boss Chen really knows how to make a fuss, choosing this time to come. This time he really made the Mei Family lose face completely."
"I guessed he would come at this time. But this matter is definitely not over. Letâs sleep. Anyway, itâs over today. We canât leave tomorrow, so weâll leave the day after."
"Mm."
....
"Mom, lately you should be nice to Grandma," Mei Langchi whispered to Xie Lingzhi before going to bed.
Xie Lingzhi knowingly nodded, "Mom knows, donât worry."
"Mm."
Ye Qing had already lulled Hua Hua to sleep. Seeing Mei Langchi coming in, she quickly approached him and held his arm, "Langchi."
Mei Langchi withdrew his arm and said blandly, "Go to sleep first, I still have something to do."
