Stealing the moonlight into my arms

The family dinner in the evening was held in the main hall of the main building.

After getting married, Fu Runing accompanied Xiao Jingting back to dinner many times, but her parents-in-law didn't like her very much.

But the old man and the old lady were good to her, especially the old lady. They often sent her good things. Perhaps they wanted to make up for their debt to Xiao Jingting to some extent. The marriage was originally finalized with the approval of the old lady.

Besides, the interpersonal relationships of the Xiao family are also very delicate...

Xiao Jingting's father, Xiao Hongshen, is only in his fifties this year. He is in his prime and still at the age of holding great power.

If Xiao Jingting was an only child, it wouldn’t be a big deal.

It just so happens that Xiao Hongshen has a son.

During the meal, Weng Yuqing served soup to Xiao Hongshen. "Hongshen, it's been almost three years since you sent Yanting out west. It's time to transfer him back. The last time we video-called, I saw that he had become emaciated."

"Three years?"

"Yeah, time flies by so fast. Yan Ting will be able to help you more when he comes back. Where do you plan to put Yan Ting after he comes back?"

Fu Runing pricked up her ears and peeled shrimps calmly.

Xiao Yanting is Xiao Jingting's half-brother. He is twenty-three years old this year, two years younger than her and five years younger than Xiao Jingting.

Xiao Yanting and she used to go to the same primary school. He was a genius when he was in school. He was better than other children and even skipped grades.

He was originally two grades younger than her, but who would have thought that he would be in the same grade as her, and they later became classmates in junior high school.

If Xiao Jingting had not been there, Xiao Yanting would have been the chosen one from a wealthy family, and would have taken over the Xiao family from his father.

But as it happened, an older brother came back halfway through, and the crown prince became the second prince.

But the second prince’s mother is now the queen.

Fu Runing had just put a peeled shrimp into her plate when a pair of chopsticks came over and took the shrimp away.

She turned around and glared at Xiao Jingting. Because the whole family was here, she could only force a smile and said coquettishly, "Hubby, don't you usually not eat shrimp? Tell me earlier, I would peel two more for you."

She picked up another shrimp, peeled it, and then smiled as she put it to the man's mouth, feeding him very considerately.

Xiao Jingting was slightly stunned, looked at the woman's smiling eyes, and opened his mouth.

Fu Runing asked with a smile, "Is it delicious, husband?"

Eat more, it’s best if you can get a rash.

She glanced at it and saw that it was freshwater shrimp, not seafood.

A little disappointed.

"Yeah." Xiao Jingting responded lightly, then put a few more shrimps into her bowl.

This……

Does this mean to continue peeling?

Fu Runing's interruption made the old lady laugh. "The young couple seems to have a good relationship. Speaking of which, it's time for Yan Ting to find a partner. Does he have anyone he likes?"

Weng Yuqing's smile froze for a moment, then he smiled and said, "No, Yan Ting is still young, so he should focus on his career."

The old lady then said, "It's okay to get married first and then start a career. There's no rush to do anything after you come back. Jing Ting is here in the group."

Weng Yuqing still maintained a decent smile, "Hey, Mom is right, come, let me try this soup..."

"Mom, there's one more thing. The annual ancestor worship day is coming soon. Shouldn't we get things ready?"

The old lady has always been in charge of ancestor worship personally. The Xiao family has a complex network of roots, and there are many people who come to worship their ancestors every year, so the reception arrangements must be made in advance.

"Mom, I think Ruirui will graduate from college soon, and she'll help with the housework. Can she lend a hand to you then?"

Fu Runing listened while peeling shrimps.

During the meal, her mother-in-law talked about two things, one for her son and one for her daughter. What a good mother.

The Xiao family's ancestor worship is a big event, and it involves the reception of personnel and various budget expenditures. It is also a good job. The most important thing is to show up in front of this big family and become distinguished.

Of course, there is a more important reason. Every year after the Xiao family pays homage to their ancestors, they hold a group shareholders' meeting in the middle of the year to reappoint the group's management. Xiao Jingting was also appointed as the group's president by the board of directors last year.

Before I could even get comfortable in my seat, the person I was thinking about arrived.

Hearing this, the old lady slowly drank a mouthful of soup.

"Rui Rui is still young, and my old bones can still handle the matter. Besides, if I really need a hand, I have her sister-in-law."

When Fu Runing heard that she was being called out, her heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, when she raised her eyes, she saw Weng Yuqing looking at her with a slightly complicated expression.

It’s strange to say, the old lady doesn’t like her daughter-in-law Weng Yuqing.

This was an unsolved mystery that Fu Runing discovered right after she got married.

The old lady has the final say on all matters big or small in the family, and she can't do anything unless Weng Yuqing gets involved.

So, adhering to the belief that her mother-in-law is her support, Fu Runing has been trying various ways to please the old lady over the years.

……

After the banquet, Weng Yuqing gave Fu Runing a bag filled with boiled Chinese medicine packets.

"Take this home and drink it later. My sister's daughter-in-law got pregnant after taking it for three months. The instructions are in the bag."

Fu Runing took the bag and it felt heavy in her hand.

She smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie."

"Remember to drink, don't forget."

"knew."

After saying these two sentences, Weng Yuqing wanted to say something else, but seeing that Fu Runing seemed to be willing to talk about anything and had no temper at all, he gave up.

Afterwards, Fu Runing watched Weng Yuqing twisting his waist as he walked away from her.

She looked down at the bag full of Chinese medicine packets in her hand, which were pitch black in color, and shook her head in disgust.

Drinking so much, you’ll die.

If Weng Yuqing had this recipe, Fu Runing believed that she would definitely give it to herself first and give birth to another son.

Are you giving it to her with good intentions?

Fu Runing's medical abortion three years ago was not complete and she ended up having a uterine curettage. It's possible that she had hurt her body at that time.

But later, she had checkups every year and there were no problems. Logically, she should be able to get pregnant as long as she didn't use contraception. The doctors also said that there was no rush and it was probably just not her destiny.

This time she got pregnant but didn't keep the baby, even though it was just a biochemical miscarriage, Fu Runing couldn't help but suspect that it was Xiao Jingting's fault.

If this isn't poor sperm quality, what is?
