"Grandfather, whatever you say goes," i Langchi took a sip of his drink and deliberately glanced at Han Yi as he spoke.
Han Yi nodded but didn’t say anything.
Old Mr. i sighed but didn’t say much. They would have to work through this themselves.
"Dad, is the restaurant all set?" i Shuqing hadn’t been here for half a month. He wasn’t curious about the eldest’s matters, but for the old man’s birthday, he needed to pay attention.
"Your elder brother arranged it, and it’s almost done. Relatives and friends have mostly been inford. Why hasn’t Junzi returned yet?"
"Probably has so urgent matters to deal with. He should be able to make it the day after tomorrow."
Old Mr. i glanced at i Langchi and sighed deeply, probably thinking of sothing.
This grandson can’t go into national agencies now, which makes his future developnt a bit difficult.
A few days ago, I talked to him about going into a factory, but he refused to go.
Yes, once a proud person, suddenly falling from the clouds into the mud. It’s hard for soone without strong willpower to accept that.
Well, let’s give him so buffer ti; there will always be a ti when he understands.
"Xiao Wan, eat more of this; it’s good for your health," Liang Qian knew about Lin Wan’s pregnancy and didn’t want others to know, so she didn’t say much and just served her a bowl of chicken soup, placing it in front of her.
Before Lin Wan could speak, Xie Lingzhi snorted from the side, giving Liang Qian a sidelong glance, "Sister-in-law, you really have a heart for them."
"Of course, how could I not care for my goddaughter? Are you going to care for her instead?"
Liang Qian’s blunt words choked Xie Lingzhi, who took a while to catch her breath and said, "Once she enters the i Family, she’s the daughter-in-law of the i Family. According to the hierarchy, she should call mother-in-law. It’s only right for a daughter-in-law to respect her mother-in-law, don’t you agree, Xiao Wan?"
"Yes, second mom," Lin Wan knew what she ant and didn’t argue. Instead, she smiled and called her that.
Lin Wan originally thought Xie Lingzhi would get angry, but she underestimated Xie Lingzhi’s patience.
Xie Lingzhi not only didn’t get mad, but she also raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Wan with a smile, "The term ’second mom’ should be for your mother-in-law, after all, I am the officially married eldest daughter-in-law of the i Family."
"In terms of rank, you should be after my mother-in-law, but you’re right, the term ’second mom’ is not suitable. From now on, we will call you Aunt Xie. What do you think?"
"Humph, rest assured, I don’t want to be your elder anyway. Our family only needs Xiao Chi, and you are just grandchildren of the old man who ca back. You need to have a correct understanding of this."
The i family’s dining table was rectangular, with the n seated at the upper end and Old Mrs. i at the other end, daughters-in-law sitting on the sides.
The n were talking about other things at the ti and weren’t paying attention here. Xie Lingzhi, when speaking, also deliberately lowered her voice.
Of course, Old Mrs. i must have heard this, but she pretended not to hear anything, just quietly eating her al.
This was a direct show of power to Lin Wan. Naturally, Han Yi, sitting next to Lin Wan, was paying attention to his wife, and he certainly heard Xie Lingzhi’s words.
However, Lin Wan was holding his hand under the table, preventing him from interrupting.
"Don’t worry, we didn’t originally want to have an elder like you anyway." Lin Wan didn’t care, whether it was Old Mrs. i or Xie Lingzhi. Even for appearances, she didn’t want to compromise.
Before coming, her grandmother did say that if the won of the i Family bullied her, she shouldn’t wrong herself, she should fight back, without needing to save face for them.
If it turns into trouble, she has her own family.
Sigh, now it seems, the Lin Family indeed has a more upright worldview.
The al was rather pleasant for Lin Wan, but as for whether it was pleasant for Xie Lingzhi, she couldn’t tell.
Originally, after eating, they planned to return, but Old Mr. i insisted they stay.
"Since you’re all back, there’s no reason to stay out overnight. You’re not staying for many days; take this ti to be with family. The rooms upstairs are ready for you. On the third floor. Go up and rest for a while."
"Our clothes are in the courtyard house, so maybe tomorrow, we’ll go back and pack first," Han Yi said.
"Look at the child; they’re already sleepy. Just go rest; there are clothes prepared upstairs. After resting, you can drive and pick them up in the afternoon."
Seeing Old Mr. i firmly insisting they stay, Han Yi and Lin Wan didn’t argue any further and had to nod in agreent.
