Although Mr. Yuan's performance was very serious, what he said, not to mention Sister Min, I also felt that there was some water in it.

You know, Yuan Tianye is the youngest son of Mr. Yuan, and he has an older brother and an older sister. This means that Mr. Yuan had a wife before. How could a man who has an ex-wife and children with her have no feelings?

If the old man says such things now, it will not make Sister Min feel moved, but will make her even more disgusted.

Sure enough, Sister Min's face darkened: "Don't say such things to me. You fooled me with such words when I was 20 years old. Now I am 42 years old, and you still fool me with such words? Do you think I have always been that naive love-brained person and have no ability to distinguish between right and wrong? You are fooling ghosts with your words!"

After she said this, she turned around and went to the kitchen, making it clear that she didn't want to continue talking to the elder.

The elder was anxious: "I didn't fool you, Xiao Min, I explained that matter to you, but you just refused to believe me..."

"You know I won't believe you, so stop explaining. What you're saying is all nonsense!" Sister Min brought out two plates of food, snorted coldly, and her face looked very unsightly.

The elder hurried to take the food from her hand, but she bypassed him and ordered him to leave with a cold face: "Why don't you leave? You still want to stay for dinner? Let me tell you, I only cooked for my son and daughter-in-law tonight, not for you. Don't stay here and beg for food. You won't even have the leftovers."

This is a bit harsh. Sister Min clearly cooked a table full of dishes, eight dishes and two soups. Not to mention the four of us, even if four more people came, we wouldn't be able to finish it. But she refused to let Grandpa Yuan stay to eat with us. She even said that there was no room for Grandpa Yuan to eat the leftovers, and called him a beggar. Who can stand this?

Sure enough, the elder man's face began to look embarrassed.

He was about to speak when Sister Min ignored him and called towards the bathroom, "Xu Xu, Xiao Ye, have you washed your hands? Come out and eat quickly."

"Here comes Sister Min." I quickly washed my hands and walked out of the bathroom quickly, wanting to say something to ease the atmosphere and ask the old man to stay for dinner.

But as soon as I walked out, before I could even open my mouth, Sister Min glared at Mr. Yuan coldly again: "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

The elder's face immediately turned into embarrassment. He pursed his lips, said nothing, and turned away.

Ono also came out of the bathroom at this time. I quickly winked at him, asking him to go forward and grab the old man, but Ono clearly received my wink but did not move. He just watched the old man walk out.

The door closed with a muffled sound.

The whole room fell silent, with only the bubbling of soup on the small stove on the table. The whole room was filled with the enticing aroma of food, but at this moment, the three of us seemed to have lost our appetite.

Sister Min no longer had the cold and domineering attitude she had just had, and instead had a look of dejection on her face.

But it was only a moment, and her face was smiling again, and she greeted me warmly: "Xuxu, come and sit down, let's eat now, otherwise the food will get cold. Today, Sister Min tried to make a few new dishes, can you help me taste them and see how they taste?"

"Okay, Sister Min." I could only smile and agree with her, "But I think Sister Min is a good cook. No matter what she cooks, it tastes good."

"Xuxu, you are not only an excellent and capable person, but also beautiful and sweet-spoken. I am so blessed to have such a daughter-in-law." Sister Min smiled with her eyes curved, and there was joy in her eyes when she looked at me.

"I'm not being sweet and praising Sister Min on purpose. I'm telling the truth. I've become addicted to drinking Sister Min's soup these days." I corrected her seriously.

"Sister is not exaggerating. She particularly likes the soups made by Minjie recently." Xiaoye sat down next to me and confirmed it for me, then picked up the chopsticks to help me pick up the food, "Sister, this is a new dish, you try it."

Ono's expression and tone were very calm, as if he really had no feelings about what had just happened, but I knew it was impossible for him not to have feelings.

He had already had hope, but it was dashed. He must be sad.

I reached out and held his other hand which was resting on his knee.

His body stiffened slightly, and he immediately held my hand tightly. He turned to look at me, with sadness and joy in his eyes.

This silly boy has always been my little sun, protecting me and helping me. But there are times when the sun is blocked by clouds. From today on, I also want to be the wind that blows away the clouds, to protect him and help him.

Sister Min seemed to have completely come out of that lonely mood, and smiled: "That's good, now she's addicted to my food, Xuxu will definitely not be used to other people's food in the future, and she can always be the daughter-in-law of my Yuan family. People say that a woman has to control a man by controlling his stomach. Now I have learned that if I want to control Xuxu, I have to control her stomach first."

Sister Min’s words made Ono and I both laugh.

After the meal, my stomach, which had been a little uncomfortable after eating at the Japanese restaurant, instantly felt warm and comfortable. We chatted for a while after the meal. It was getting late, so Ono put on my coat for me and sent me home.

On the way home, I looked at Xiaoye's obviously lonely face, and I knew he was still thinking about what happened between Sister Min and Mr. Yuan, so I said softly: "Xiaoye, don't be sad, there is still a chance."

It is obvious that Sister Min and Mr. Yuan care about each other in their hearts, but there is a gap between them, which needs to be resolved before there will be any chance.

"Actually, my old man didn't lie." Xiao Ye suddenly said this without any reason.

I was stunned: "What?"

"He is a bit old-fashioned and straight. He doesn't know how to say sweet words to coax people. He is stubborn and thin-skinned. He can only coax people a few words. If he says more, he can't hold it. I usually get annoyed by him, but I also believe that he won't lie to others." Xiao Ye looked ahead, still concentrating on driving, and said in a low voice, "So, I think what he said was true, and he didn't lie to Sister Min."

I was silent.

I believe Ono, but I don't agree with his opinion at this moment. I don't understand why Ono thinks so. He obviously knows his older brother and sister. Although those two people are not in the Yuan family's old house now, everyone in Beijing and Hong Kong knows of their existence.

But I couldn't say much, so I just remained silent.

It was Xiao Ye who reacted and brought up another topic: "Sister, shall I go to the nursing home to pick up my aunt and daughter tomorrow?"

"Okay." This is a good topic, and I nodded in agreement.

The next day, when I went out, Xiao Ye was already waiting for me downstairs. When we rushed to the nursing home, Nannan and my aunt had already packed.
