"You don’t know, but my biggest skill is having ears everywhere. I didn’t miss our conversation. What were we just talking about, do you want to recite it back to you?"
"Forget it, wouldn’t that make seem like I don’t trust you?" Zhou Huakang waved his hand magnanimously, "I’ll just trust you. After all, you’re the third sister-in-law’s cousin."
"That sounds more reasonable." Lin Wenbin smiled and patted his head, "Let ask you, your stepmom is about to arrive, what are you feeling inside?"
"I have no feelings." After pausing, Zhou Mikang added, "But, my biggest wish is for my dad to have a happier second half of his life, with a woman who truly loves and cherishes him."
"That wish isn’t hard to fulfill. Wait until you see your future stepmom, with so many eyes here, we’ll definitely be able to see her character clearly. Just keep your worries to yourself."
"I’ll take your good words." As Zhou Huakang spoke, the doorbell rang, and he and Chuxia raced to the door almost simultaneously, making everyone smile at the sight, such children...
However, when they opened the door, both were stunned. What’s this, soone here to ruin the show?
Standing outside was Liu Lingi, and the mont her gaze fell on her son, tears stread down her face: "Son, mom missed you to death, did you miss mom?"
Luo Ye felt his stomach churn, this woman was wasting her talent not being an actress...
"What are you here for?" Zhou Huakang frowned and spoke in a tone that was far from kind.
"Xiaohua, mom has nowhere to go. It was all her fault." Liu Lingi pointed at Luo Ye, "It was all her trouble that made Jiang Tianbei kick out, I really have nowhere else to go. Xiaohua, are grandma and grandpa here?"
Old Master Zhou and Old Madam Zhou frowned simultaneously. Obviously, this woman ca at this mont on purpose after getting the news. Otherwise, why would she co just at this ti?
While the tension remained, Zhou Shanping arrived with Wang Lei. The mont Chuxia saw Wang Lei, her mouth gaped open in an O shape. She could have never anticipated that Wang Lei would beco the third sister-in-law.
However, she had a good impression of this woman, a responsible and upstanding woman. Imdiately, she warmly and proactively reached out and took the other’s hand: "Little aunt, I had no idea the third sister-in-law would be you, we’ve been looking forward to this for so long."
Old Madam Zhou, hearing Chuxia’s voice, got up and walked towards the doorway to show her support for the prospective daughter-in-law in this manner. The old lady had always been of such a character, never using her position as mother-in-law to be fastidious; to her, liking or disliking soone was a manner of treatnt, other things could be ignored.
The instant Wang Lei saw Chuxia, her heartbeat, which had been pounding like a drum, also eased a bit. She had been hesitant and unprepared, but Zhou Shanping didn’t want to delay any longer, they were not getting any younger, better to be open about it and start living happily sooner.
Thinking about it, she agreed to co to the Zhou family with him. She guessed that the Zhou family had a significant background, but still, upon arriving here, she was incredibly nervous.
Fortunately, having soone familiar made her feel much better. She instinctively grasped Chuxia’s extended hand, as if seizing a lifeline.
At this ti, Old Madam Zhou also reached the door, smiling and beckoning, "Co in, co in, everyone is waiting for you..." she said while casting a stern glance at Zhou Shanping, who was still stunned after seeing Liu Lingi, "What are you dazing for, co in quickly."
As everyone entered, Liu Lingi also squeezed in. Faced with such shalessness, the Zhou family mbers felt helpless. If they really threw her out and she caused a scene outside, it wouldn’t look good for anyone.
Well then, since she’s here, then let it be. If Zhou Shanping and this new mistress have fate, they might as well be together. If not, no amount of effort from everyone would make it work.
Wang Lei also sensed the tension in the atmosphere, thinking it was because of her arrival, so happy and so not, her heart, which was about to calm down, tensed up again, and she unconsciously tightened her grip on Chuxia’s hand.
"Zhou Shanping, is this your new wife?" Liu Lingi spoke up, resolving Wang Lei’s confusion, "What happened to you swearing you’d never remarry, bullshit, it hasn’t been long since our divorce and you’re already involved with soone new. Didn’t I hear you got tangled up with a younger one? How co you brought an older one back now? Do you have any sha at all? Are you trying to set a bad example for your son?"
