"""Just when soone simply can’t let her finish her al in peace.
"Brother Chu, I’m not sure if your taste has changed, but this fish dish has a few extra slices of ginger."
"Brother Chu, can you stay in Beijing for a few days longer this ti?"
"Brother Chu, are you free the day after tomorrow? My grandpa is coming back from the south, and I’d like you to try to persuade him on sothing."
"Brother Chu, about the leadership at our hospital..."
...
With every ntion of ’Brother Chu’, Wan Chu’er felt so nauseated she could almost vomit. The vein in her head tightened more and more until finally—
"Snap—"
She slamd her chopsticks down on the table and abruptly stood up, drawing the eyes of everyone at the dining table. They then saw Wan Chu’er with a livid face.
"What’s wrong?" Jiang Kechu asked with concern.
To think they’d only rember her after such a display?! Wan Chu’er sneered to herself, but managed to say casually, "I don’t feel very well, I’m going outside for so fresh air." Without waiting for any reaction from the crowd, she imdiately turned and left.
She didn’t want to see or hear Wei Feng for another second.
A silent tension settled over the dinner table. After a while, Wei Feng asked awkwardly, "Is it because Chu’er is unhappy to see ? Should I leave first..."
Mrs. Jiang considered for a mont before reassuring Wei Feng, "It’s not about you. Chu’er isn’t that petty."
Jiang Kechu also stood up, "I’ll go take a look."
"Humph, can’t even have a peaceful al," Grandpa Jiang grumbled with disdain.
Finally, he had caught Wan Chu’er slipping up. So many people were dining at the table, yet it was only she who was being problematic, without the slightest consideration for others.
However, considering his son and grandson were there, and since these people were very protective of Wan Chu’er, Grandpa Jiang just huffed and added, "Wei Feng is generous and sensible, now that’s the deanor of soone from a respectable family."
"Dad, would you like so soup?" Father Jiang frowned and quickly interjected to prevent the old man from continuing.
Wei Feng smiled sheepishly, moved to a different spot, sitting where Jiang Kechu had been, and tenderly said, "Xiao Ya, Xiao Zhuo, tell Aunt what you want to eat." He assud the role of caring for the two children.
Chuanqi didn’t say a word and continued to eat ravenously, while Hunter said with a stern face, "I don’t like you. I only want my mom."
Kids’ hearts are the most sensitive; he could feel that his mother was unhappy.
The atmosphere at the dinner table turned awkward, and Mrs. Jiang, feeling it inappropriate, intervened, "Wei Feng, just eat your al." Then she called for the nanny to take care of the two children while they ate.
Wei Feng laughed it off, trying to smooth things over, "Kids always love their mom the most."
Outside, Jiang Kechu found Wan Chu’er standing upright amidst a cluster of flowers. As he approached her, he realized how pale Wan Chu’er looked.
Jiang Kechu reached out to grasp Wan Chu’er’s arm, but she swiftly dodged. He looked at his hand hanging in mid-air, paused, and asked:
"What’s wrong? Did sothing happen on the way here? Or are you really feeling unwell?"
Hearing his question, Wan Chu’er laughed coldly. What could have possibly happened to her on the way? Couldn’t he see the real reason for her unhappiness?
"I’m asking you, why is Wei Feng here?"
Jiang Kechu was taken aback for a mont, then realized and couldn’t help but laugh: "Are you jealous of Wei Feng?" He reached out to hug Wan Chu’er again, but she still dodged him.
"Stop it. Wei Feng had so matters she needed help with, so she ca by. It happened to be alti, and mom invited her to stay for a al," explained Jiang Kechu.
", causing trouble?" Wan Chu’er sarcastically pointed at herself.
Jiang Kechu looked helpless: "All the elders are at ho, and you suddenly left the table and stord out. It doesn’t look good."
It really seed like Wan Chu’er was being unreasonable. His reaction made Wan Chu’er feel even more upset.
Wan Chu’er took a deep breath, deciding to clarify: "I don’t like Wei Feng. Yes, because she used to be your girlfriend, and you were together for a long ti. Seeing her acting like nothing’s wrong, laughing and joking at ho, I just feel uncomfortable.
Seeing her touch Chuanqi and Hunter, I felt even more disgusted. Just now, not snatching Hunter out of her hands was already giving face to the elders."
Jiang Kechu was stunned; he hadn’t expected Wan Chu’er to have such a big problem with Wei Feng. After thinking for a mont, he still said:
"Although Wei Feng and I once dated, that’s all in the past. We are husband and wife now, and I have always been devoted to you. There’s no need for you to overthink.
Wei Feng is also like a child watched over by my parents as she grew up. Although... But the affection between our two families remains. She ca to for help, and I couldn’t refuse. Mom invited her to stay for dinner, entirely because of the relationship between our two families."
So in the end, he still thinks I’m overthinking, that I’m being unreasonable?
Wan Chu’er felt even colder inside. She looked Jiang Kechu straight in the eye, her tone firm:
"Let say it again, I don’t like Wei Feng. I don’t like seeing her around you, I don’t like seeing you talk and laugh with her, I don’t like seeing her touch my children, and I especially don’t like you helping her."
Jiang Kechu was exasperated, "Chuchu, stop making a fuss, I just got back."
"I’m not making a fuss!" Wan Chu’er retorted, "Back then, it was her who dumped you. Do you really care about her that much? You don’t mind at all, or is it that you still have her in your heart, so you’re actually happy she ca to you?"
Jiang Kechu didn’t expect Wan Chu’er to speak so harshly and to be so relentless.
Seeing Jiang Kechu still unmoved, Wan Chu’er was filled with disappointnt and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Jiang Kechu quickly grabbed her arm, asking anxiously.
"I said, I don’t like seeing her." Wan Chu’er replied indifferently, "If you are so intent on helping her, and still think I’m causing trouble, then it’s better if I leave."
The word "leave" struck Jiang Kechu’s heart like an electric shock, recalling a nightmare from long ago, a sense of panic took hold, his grip on Wan Chu’er’s hand grew stronger.
"Wan Chu’er! You’re not allowed to go anywhere."
"Jiang Kechu, what do you an? Do you really want to sit there watching the person I dislike swirl around before my eyes and make myself sick?" Wan Chu’er was furious.
"No, that’s not it." Jiang Kechu ca to his senses and felt a quiet sigh of relief inside. It turns out what Chuchu ant by leaving was to temporarily avoid seeing Wei Feng.
"Okay, where do you want to go? I’ll take you."
"It’s not necessary." Wan Chu’er said, feeling irritated at the sight of Jiang Kechu and just wanting so ti alone.
In the end, Jiang Kechu and Wan Chu’er returned to the house. Wan Chu’er went upstairs to fetch her bag, and Jiang Kechu entered the dining room.
"Xiao Chu, what’s wrong?" Mrs. Jiang asked concernedly, while Wei Feng surreptitiously looked at Jiang Kechu, observing his expression.
Jiang Kechu smiled: "There’s a little situation at the old house; I have to take Chuchu back first."
