Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Does Mom Still Have an Opinion About ? Chapter 102: Chapter 102: Does Mom Still Have an Opinion About ? Xu Jinzhi had little appetite, eating only a few bites before stopping.
“Not eating anymore?” Xie Yanchuan asked.
Xu Jinzhi nodded, “No more.”
She was too tired, even lacking the appetite for breakfast.
“Eat a little more?” Xie Yanchuan frowned slightly, and it was no exaggeration that Xu Jinzhi had really only taken a couple of bites, which frankly ant she hadn’t eaten at all.
“It’s okay, it’s getting late now, and by the ti we get to the old house, it’ll be almost ti to eat.” While Xu Jinzhi spoke, she couldn’t help but yawn.
Seeing that Xu Jinzhi really didn’t want to eat, Xie Yanchuan didn’t keep on insisting, “Then let’s get ready and head over.”
“Okay.” Xu Jinzhi nodded in agreent.
Stepping out of the villa, a chilly wind struck, and Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help but shrink her neck. However, it was good that it was winter, and Xu Jinzhi had put on a high-collared undershirt for herself, otherwise the marks on her neck would definitely not be covered.
On the way, Xu Jinzhi was still talking to Xie Yanchuan about not knowing when it would snow this year.
Xie Yanchuan said, “Last year, it snowed around these days.”
Xu Jinzhi paused, mories from the past were too distant, and she couldn’t recall when it had snowed the previous year.
However, Xu Jinzhi disliked the cold and really wasn’t fond of winter; she was also quite delicately averse to the heat, only liking that not too hot, not too cold weather of autumn.
Yet autumn in City A was very short, always passing by in a flash.
The two chatted idly, and in about half an hour, they had already arrived at the old house. At this ti, two cars were already parked on the parking area beside the villa, belonging to Xie Suian and Xie Linchuan, respectively.
Today was a workday, both Xie Suian and Xie Linchuan had gone to work, but they had made ti to co because Xie Yanchuan and Xu Jinzhi were coming ho for lunch.
Xie Yanchuan parked the car, got down, and walked with Xu Jinzhi towards the villa.
The villa was sowhat quiet at this ti, everyone sitting on the couch silently, not speaking to each other, making the atmosphere seem a bit tense.
Only when He Shuying saw Xu Jinzhi and the others did she say, “You’re back.”
“Yes.” Xie Yanchuan and Xu Jinzhi nodded their heads, then went to greet the elders.
After calling on the elders, there were also Xie Linchuan and Liang Shiyu, who were sowhat considered Xie Yanchuan’s elders.
In the mont of eye contact with Liang Shiyu, Xu Jinzhi showed no strange behavior. On the contrary, Liang Shiyu, looking at Xu Jinzhi, seed to eagerly anticipate her next move.
Xu Jinzhi calmly called out, “Sister-in-law.”
A faint smile appeared on Liang Shiyu’s lips as she was about to say sothing, but Xu Jinzhi had already shifted her gaze, leaving Liang Shiyu’s expression slightly stiff, with the words she intended to say stuck in her throat.
“Jinzhi, co here,” He Shuying gestured to Xu Jinzhi.
Xu Jinzhi actually knew what He Shuying was about to do, after all, there was this step in her previous life. So she sat down beside He Shuying.
“What’s up?” Xu Jinzhi asked.
He Shuying took out a small box placed beside her and handed it to Xu Jinzhi, “This was left by Yanchuan’s grandmother, originally given to , with instructions to pass it on to the children in the family later.”
“Thank you.” Xu Jinzhi didn’t refuse and directly took the small box.
It was a box from her previous life; Xu Jinzhi recognized it at a glance. It must still be that Jade Bracelet.
“I wore it for a while years ago, but it’s been well preserved,” said He Shuying.
Liang Shiyu frowned inconspicuously upon seeing the small box, noting that her mother-in-law had given her a diamond necklace, also said to be a keepsake from her grandmother’s ti.
But the box that Xu Jinzhi was holding didn’t look like it was ant for a diamond necklace.
So what was it?
Liang Shiyu had been watching closely, wanting to wait for Xu Jinzhi to open the box and see what exactly it was.
But Xu Jinzhi just wouldn’t open it, and even by the ti dinner was served, she hadn’t opened it.
At the dining table, Xie Suian brought up the topic of a honeymoon trip again.
As a father-in-law, he really shouldn’t be concerned with such matters regarding his daughter-in-law, but Xu Jinzhi was different. The Xie Group had a lot of work that needed her involvent, which was why Xie Suian had inquired further.
Xu Jinzhi explained, “We won’t be going for the ti being. The first phase of the project is about to end, and I’ll be busy in a few days. It’s not easy to arrange things on Yanchuan’s side either. We should probably wait until Yanchuan’s school goes on break before planning.”
“Okay, just arrange it as you see fit,” Xie Suian nodded, then added, “We’re all family now. If there’s anything you need, just speak up.”
Xu Jinzhi nodded, indicating that she understood.
Liang Shiyu hung her head low, fidgeting with her chopsticks, unable to take a single bite of the food for quite so ti.
Xie Linchuan asked in a low voice, concerned, “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell again?”
Actually, Xie Linchuan’s speaking volu wasn’t loud, but as the dining room wasn’t noisy, what he said was heard by everyone else, causing them to glance towards them involuntarily.
Liang Shiyu, sowhat embarrassed and annoyed, smiled awkwardly at everyone, then said softly to Xie Linchuan, “It’s nothing, I just don’t have much of an appetite.”
No one knew whether Liang Shiyu was really feeling unwell or just pretending, but since she said it was nothing, nobody else paid her any more attention.
Initially, Liang Shiyu felt awkward because she had drawn everyone’s attention, but seeing that no one seed concerned, she felt sowhat stifled in her heart.
Now she genuinely had no appetite.
Once dinner was over and after chatting together for a little while, they let everyone leave.
As soon as Liang Shiyu got into the car, she couldn’t help asking Xie Linchuan, “Do you know what Mom prepared for my sister-in-law?”
Xie Linchuan thought for a mont, “It’s probably the Jade Bracelet.”
He rembered his mother wearing it before. Although he hadn’t seen the item just now, the box seed more suitable for a bracelet.
Liang Shiyu knitted her brows; she remained silent, her thoughts unclear.
Xie Linchuan didn’t pay much attention at first, but seeing that Liang Shiyu suddenly stopped talking and looked quite serious, he felt sothing was amiss and asked, “What’s wrong?”
Liang Shiyu looked up at Xie Linchuan with a slight frown and a touch of grievance in her lips, “Linchuan, does Mom still have issues with even now?”
“Why would you think that?” Xie Linchuan was quite surprised, “Isn’t everything fine now?”
In Xie Linchuan’s view, everything indeed seed fine.
Although his mother had indeed been displeased with Liang Shiyu before, they were married now, and they didn’t live together. The occasional encounters wouldn’t result in the cold treatnt like in the past.
It wasn’t just his mother; even his father wouldn’t speak against her now, and everything was moving in a good direction.
