Jiang Mingyuan glanced at the large cell phone in front of him and said inexplicably, "It’s not mine!"
Lin Xia originally thought it was Jiang Mingyuan’s, so she didn’t rush to move, "Ah, it’s mine!"
She and Lin Dong were happily chatting with their godmother as soon as they got out of the car, and for a mont, she forgot to call Lu Zheng to report their safety. She quickly ran to the sofa to find the phone in her bag.
Lu Zheng chatted with Lin Xia for a while and then asked her to pass the phone to Jiang Mingyuan.
"Jiang Mingyuan, congratulations on your wedding! I’m sorry I can’t attend in person. I wish you a happy marriage and a harmonious union!"
"Lu Zheng, thank you for your blessings!" Jiang Mingyuan calmly accepted Lu Zheng’s congratulations.
Recalling all the things that had happened between them in the past, they couldn’t help but feel a bit sentintal.
"Jiang Mingyuan, I specifically wanted you to answer the call because there’s sothing else I want to discuss. Is your neighbor Xu Haihua also attending the wedding? I know you might be busy as the groom, but please ask your friends to keep an eye on him."
Lu Zheng wanted Jiang Mingyuan to answer the phone not just to convey his blessings, but also to keep an eye on Xu Haihua.
Even though Lin Dong and the person protecting him were with Lin Xia, Lu Zheng was still worried.
If he could have followed them back, he would have personally ensured his wife’s safety.
Jiang Mingyuan was aware of the grievances between Xu Haihua and Lin Xia, and he agreed without hesitation, "No problem!"
He couldn’t let Lin Xia and her brother attend his wedding only to have sothing go wrong.
Lu Zheng finished saying what he wanted to say, "Alright! Now hand the phone back to my wife!"
Lin Xia didn’t know what Lu Zheng had discussed with Jiang Mingyuan, but since there were other people around, she suppressed her curiosity and chatted briefly with Lu Zheng before ending the call.
Apart from discussing Jiang Mingyuan’s wedding, the most talked-about topic at the dinner table was Lin Xia’s two children.
Grandma Zhao originally thought Lin Xia would bring them back so she could et them.
Lin Xia explained, "I really wanted to bring them back, but my in-laws were worried about traveling with the kids. If they had co with , we wouldn’t feel comfortable leaving Grandpa alone at ho.
So in the end, we decided not to make the trip. Godmother, next ti I get the chance, I’ll definitely let you et them. I even brought so photos for you to look at after dinner."
Grandma Zhao understood Lin Xia’s in-laws’ concerns. After all, as people get older, they worry about both the young and the old.
"Not bringing them was the right call. Weddings can be chaotic, and if the kids get sick, it would be troubleso. It’s fine; we’ll have another opportunity to et them."
After dinner, Grandma Zhao took Lin Xia and the others upstairs to see Jiang Mingyuan’s new ho.
After going around, Lin Xia had to admit that the decor, furnishings, and appliances in the new house showed thoughtful planning.
As they ca downstairs, Jiang Mingyuan’s relatives started to arrive.
Lin Xia and Lin Dong even saw the landlord who had once rented them a house — Jiang Mingyuan’s uncle-in-law.
Jiang Mingyuan’s uncle-in-law still rembered Lin Xia, and they couldn’t help but reminisce about the past.
Afterward, Lin Xia and Lin Dong ntioned wanting to visit their own ho.
Last ti, they had hurried back for their mother’s tomb relocation and didn’t have ti to visit the city. This ti, they wanted to see Luo Xinyan.
Jiang Mingyuan drove them to the ground floor and arranged to et at a restaurant for lunch before leaving.
When Lin Xia and Lin Dong opened the door and entered, they found the room didn’t have the stale air of an unoccupied house, and there was no dust on the furniture or floors.
All of this was undoubtedly thanks to Luo Xinyan, who lived in the building opposite.
They asked the people who had co with them to stay and rest at ho while the siblings went downstairs to buy so things for Luo Xinyan.
Luo Xinyan was ho alone, and when she opened the door to see Lin Xia and Lin Dong with bags of stuff, she was genuinely surprised.
"Lin Xia! Lin Dong! When did you get back? Co in! Co in!"
"Aunt Luo, we just arrived this morning!" Lin Xia noticed that Luo Xinyan looked older than she did a few years ago, but still much younger than her age group.
Luo Xinyan hurried to find them slippers, "What brings you back?"
While changing shoes, Lin Xia said, "We ca back for Big Brother’s wedding."
"Ah! He’s getting married!" Luo Xinyan and Song Yinran had their wedding banquet at Jiang Mingyuan’s shop back in the day.
Later, her stepdaughter Song Zhiya had also dated Jiang Mingyuan, so hearing about his wedding stirred up so feelings.
"Yes! The wedding is tomorrow!"
"Oh. You two sit down, I’ll get you sothing to drink!"
Lin Xia and Lin Dong sat on the sofa, noticing how bright and clean the place was.
When Luo Xinyan ca out of the kitchen with tea, Lin Xia smiled and said, "Has my uncle not co back recently?"
Luo Xinyan laughed, "He was back! But he left not long ago! I’m also planning to go over there when it gets colder to stay for a while, taking the kids with this ti."
"Going in the winter is nice; it’s warr there than here."
"Actually, Aunt Luo, we wanted to visit you last ti we ca back. But the tomb relocation was urgent, and we didn’t have ti." Lin Xia thanked Luo Xinyan, "We went straight ho first today and found it so clean — it must be your doing. Thank you so much!"
"I heard about it from your Brother Hongli afterward. Don’t ntion it; I have nothing much to do at ho anyway."
"Cleaning the house without anyone living there can be tiring. Aunt Luo, you don’t have to go through so much trouble. Just stop by occasionally to open the windows and air it out."
"Alright! I’ll do as you say then!" Luo Xinyan asked, "Lin Xia, your kids must be quite grown-up by now, right? Do you have any recent photos?" She’d seen them when they were little but didn’t know what they looked like now.
Lin Xia quickly grabbed her bag, "I do! I brought so recent photos for you. We didn’t bring the kids this ti, but next ti we do, you’ll definitely get to et them."
"Great!" Luo Xinyan took the photos and put on her reading glasses to look at them carefully, constantly praising, "These two kids are adorable!"
After chatting a bit about her kids, Lin Xia asked, "My cousin Luo Yue’s kid must be quite grown-up too, right?"
"Yes! He’s in kindergarten now! Let get so photos!" Luo Xinyan happily brought over a photo album.
Lin Xia and Lin Dong, feeling like today was a "photo day," exchanged smiles and continued to look.
In the middle of it, Lin Dong went to the bathroom.
Lin Xia then softly said to Luo Xinyan, "Aunt Luo, could I take a few photos of the kids with ?"
Before coming, her father-in-law had ntioned wanting so photos of the kids.
Luo Xinyan understood Lin Xia’s intention and said, "Sure, take whichever ones you like and take more if you need to."
Having a happy and loving family life, neither Luo Xinyan nor Song Yinran needed to worry about anything.
Therefore, Luo Xinyan had completely let go of any past grievances with Lu Pengcheng.
Now, even when she thought about the past, it felt like a distant mory, causing no emotional fluctuations.
