Lu Chaochi didn't have much to say, he just felt very tired.

It's really frustrating to have a dad like that; he's impossible to raise, absolutely impossible!

Perhaps it's because Lu Bozhou never intended to cultivate good relationships with Song Wan, Jiang Shan, and Jiang Yu.

Not at all.

He simply didn't bother to pursue the matter because they were Jiang Mian's relatives.

Saying it's forbearance might just mean they're too lazy to bother with it.

Clearly, Lu Bozhou's words just now made Song Wan even angrier.

"What?! Who cares? Am I unable to afford food?"

Jiang Mian was also convinced, realizing she had only come in a few steps later.

This man is really capable and promising!

Even if she's just a few steps behind, he can completely ruin the atmosphere!

Jiang Mian felt somewhat helpless, but then she remembered that she had found the instructions for the medicine he was taking.

Jiang Mian quickly said to Song Wan, "I'm sorry, he's talking nonsense. I did a lot of work just to bring it to you."

"Little Stone really likes the dishes and desserts I make, and I think he would love to try them with you all."

A gentle smile appeared on Jiang Mian's lips.

Even though Song Wan originally intended not to make things difficult for Jiang Mian, she had just been inexplicably angered by Lu Bozhou.

My emotions have already spiraled out of control.

Hearing Jiang Mian's kind words again was of no use.

“Who cares…” Song Wan was about to retort.

Then Jiang Yu murmured, "Mom."

Although it was just one syllable, Jiang Yu's eyes already conveyed a sense of restraint.

Song Wan took a deep breath and looked at the face that resembled her daughter by about 80%.

A woman who can still smile even when faced with her own bad temper.

Song Wan couldn't muster any anger anymore.

Lu Chaochi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to Jiang Mian's side, beckoning her with his finger.

Jiang Mian brought her ear close to his mouth.

Then she heard the child's soft, sweet voice and said happily to her, "Mianmian, you're amazing! Unlike my dad, he's practically an idiot."

Jiang Mian stood not close to Song Wan, but Lu Bozhou was not far from her.

I don't know if they heard what Lu Chaochi said.

Lu Bozhou glanced over to the side.

"Let's put it in the restaurant," Jiang Yu said.

Jiang Mian carried the food box and headed towards the restaurant.

Jiang Yu watched Jiang Mian's retreating figure as she headed towards the restaurant, his gaze carrying a profound meaning.

With Lu Chaochi by her side, it's not surprising that she would know the location of the restaurant.

But Jiang Yu couldn't shake off that indescribable feeling in his heart.

When Jiang Yu turned his gaze back, it swept over Lu Bozhou.

Then, Jiang Yu's gaze stopped.

He clearly saw a light flickering in Lu Bozhou's madman's eyes, a light like a wildfire.

It's as if it wants to burn everything away, to destroy everything.

The madman's gaze was clearly directed towards Jiang Mian's retreating figure.

Jiang Mian was completely unaware of all this.

She put everything on the dining table.

Then, under the glass of the dining table, I saw several photos being pressed down.

Jiang Mian's fingers trembled, her movements suddenly stopped, and her gaze also froze.

Lu Chaochi noticed that she suddenly stopped. "Mianmian, what's wrong..."

He noticed Jiang Mian's gaze. "This is my mother."

Lu Chaochi pointed his little finger at Jiang Mian's face in the photo, "Pretty, isn't she?"

Jiang Mian's voice was slightly hoarse, "Yes, it's very beautiful."

It's clearly just me, and I didn't realize it when I was alive. But now, looking at myself from another person's perspective, I do see beauty in myself.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but want to laugh. She was so beautiful, yet Lu Bozhou didn't appreciate her. Was he blind?

Jiang Mian whispered to Lu Chaochi, "Your mother is so beautiful, but your father doesn't appreciate her. He's blind."

Hearing Jiang Mian's words, Lu Chaochi chuckled, "Sometimes I also think my dad is blind. Shh, let's not tell him."

Lu Chaochi added, "I didn't know what my mother looked like before. My father basically never talked to me about my mother, and he never showed me any pictures of her."

"I had no choice but to sneak off to the cemetery. I saw my mother for the first time in the photo on the tombstone."

As Lu Chaochi spoke, the little child seemed completely oblivious to how difficult or dangerous the task was.

Her eyes curved into crescents, and the corners of her mouth curved into a smile. "She's so beautiful."

"Later, my grandparents were afraid that I would run off to the cemetery and get into trouble, so they put the photo of me and my mother under the glass of the dining table. Sigh!"

As Lu Chaochi spoke, he sighed softly, "They see this every day, it must be very upsetting for them."

A sharp, persistent pain shot through Jiang Mian's heart.

She reached out and gently touched the child's head. "It's okay, you'll get better. I'll set out all the food, why don't you have a meal with your grandparents before you go back?"

"Mmm!" Lu Chaochi nodded repeatedly, sticking close to Jiang Mian. "Mianmian, you're so good..."

Song Wan felt resistant to Jiang Mian.

So he hesitated for a long time before finally standing at the restaurant entrance.

Then they heard a young woman's soft and gentle voice coming from inside.

She said to Xiao Chi, "I'll wait for you outside later. Just finish your meal with your grandparents before you come out, okay?"

"Won't Mianmian eat with us?"

"No, you said it yourself, they get upset when they see your mother's picture. And I look so much like her. How can I let people be upset while we're eating?"

“Okay…” Although Lu Chaochi felt that Jiang Mian’s words made sense, he was still somewhat disappointed.

Song Wan listened to the conversation coming from inside.

She was silent for a moment before saying in a low voice, "You're not that much like me, and you don't have the ability to make me sad. Don't flatter yourself."

Jiang Mian looked up at Song Wan, smiled, and obediently replied, "Okay..."

Looking at her completely subdued demeanor, Song Wan felt as if she had punched a piece of cotton, utterly powerless!

Looking at her face, which resembles Mianmian by about 80%!

You can't help but wonder, back then, when her Mianmian was in her husband's family, was she always so timid and obedient, always smiling obsequiously?

Just thinking about it made Song Wan feel so angry that her chest felt tight.

She walked quickly to Jiang Mian.

Jiang Mian was stunned for a moment, looking at her mother who was coming at her aggressively.

If Jiang Mian didn't know her mother's temperament, she would have almost thought her mother was about to take action.

She stared blankly at Song Wan, "You..."

Before Jiang Mian could even speak...

Song Wan spoke rapidly in a low voice, like a machine gun, "I'm not your in-laws, why are you being so submissive? Who are you trying to impress?"

"With a temper like yours, how can you survive in the Lu family? That family is ruthless and heartless."

"My daughter was angered by their family and went into premature birth. In the end, she didn't even make it out of the hospital!"

Jiang Mian blinked, then smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Thank you." [Qiqi is here to ask for favorites and votes! Ah, I burned my lip yesterday, and there's a blister below my lip, it hurts so much!!! Mebo Moist Burn Cream is very effective! But it just smells like sesame oil…]
