Several people laughed and chattered as they drove away, very satisfied with the outco today, truly a joyous occasion for all.
"I’ll treat you all to lunch, let’s have a good al at Qin’s Restaurant."
"With the little money you have, better save it for buying formula for my nephew. Inviting to spend at my own restaurant? Aren’t you just slapping my face?"
"I call this keeping benefits within the family."
......
Giggles and joyous sounds ca from the car passing by; through the glass, Wang Tianxue’s happy face was clearly visible.
Old Mrs. Yang stomped her feet in anger, "You just let that little bitch take away my grandson like that? How useless can you be, being controlled by a woman. Go get my grandson back now."
Yang Rui, looking at the departing car, fell deep in thought: When did she beco so close to Lin Chuxia?
He never heard her ntion knowing such a friend.
Yang Rui was sure, without Lin Chuxia, Wang Tianxue would never have gotten custody of Xiao Long.
Tang Lili was also in a good mood today, with that little brat out of the way, couldn’t her future days be however she wished?
Moreover, she now had the two hundred yuan Lin Chuxia promised her tucked in her pocket.
Seeing the reaction from Yang Rui and Old Mrs. Yang, Tang Lili scoffed internally but still thoughtfully took Yang Rui’s arm.
"Brother Yang, are you regretting it?"
Yang Rui regained his composure and shook his head without hesitation, "Why would I? I was just thinking about our future. I’ll redecorate the house and then co ask for your hand in marriage."
He understood too well the kind of person Wang Tianxue was—a woman with a tough personality.
Since she knew about Tang Lili, their marriage was definitely untenable.
He had already prepared himself for the divorce.
But why did he feel so hollow inside after it truly happened?
It must be his attachnt to his son.
But no matter, there are always more won, and there can be more sons.
.........
At noon, Lin Chuxia reserved a private room to celebrate Wang Tianxue regaining her freedom.
Old Mrs. Jia was also invited.
Although her son worked there as a manager, Old Mrs. Jia seldom visited the restaurant, not wanting to interfere with her son’s work. This was the first ti she dined as a custor in the restaurant and in a private room no less.
Jia Liang didn’t call for a waiter and served them himself, respectfully handing over the nu.
Lin Chuxia handed the nu to Old Mrs. Jia first, "Auntie, what would you like to eat? I’ll read it out for you."
Old Mrs. Jia was still admiring her son in this role.
After raising him for over thirty years, this was the first ti she saw him so properly dressed while working.
His respectful, considerate, and polite deanor was exactly like sothing out of her dreams.
Hearing what Lin Chuxia said, she was pleasantly flustered, "Oh, no need, I won’t pick, I’m fine with anything, you guys order."
"Don’t say that, since Brother Jia is serving us, you must pick sothing."
Lin Chuxia smiled and glanced at Jia Liang.
Jia Liang chuckled, "Mom, since Mr. Lin insists, why not choose sothing? Don’t you like fish? The restaurant has boiled fish, braised fish, squirrel fish—choose whatever you’d like, after all..."
He glanced at Lin Chuxia, "the boss is treating today."
Old Mrs. Jia laughed heartily, glancing at her son, "Do you have to speak like that? Well then, I’ll have the braised fish, I like that."
"Alright, braised fish it is," Lin Chuxia then passed the nu to little Ningning.
Taking care of the elderly still requires caring for the young.
Although Ningning often visited the Bun Shop, it was her first ti properly dining in a private room.
At the mont, she was as restless as if she had nails on her seat. Hearing her aunt say she could order the food, she first asked Qin Juan, "Mom, can my brother now live with us forever?"
Though she was young, she had been listening to Aunt Xue and her mom talk these days and could understand so of it.
She knew Aunt Xue was also planning to move out with her brother, and there was soone in Aunt Xue’s household who was unkind to them like that person.
Now, seeing everyone so happy, she guessed sothing.
Qin Juan smiled and rubbed her little head, "Yes, Ningning, do you like living with Aunt Xue and your brother?"
Ningning nodded vigorously, "Yes, I like Aunt Xue, I like my brother, and I like Grandma Jia."
Old Mrs. Jia smiled again and glanced at her son.
Her son was watching Qin Juan and her daughter, his smile almost reaching his ears, looking imnsely delighted.
Wang Tianxue really liked Ningning, this sensible little girl, and imdiately took a handful of candies from her pocket for her.
Ningning only took two pieces, earnestly telling Wang Tianxue, "The rest are for my brother."
This made everyone laugh again.
Wang Tianxue directly stuffed the candies into the little girl’s pocket, "Brother is still young, these candies are for Ningning from Aunt Xue."
The al was lively and satisfying.
After the al, Old Mrs. Jia wanted to take the kids ho, and Qin Juan also needed to take Ningning back to school, so Lin Chuxia simply did all the driving.
In one trip, she first dropped Ningning off at school, then took Old Mrs. Jia and Xiao Long.
Nine-month-old Xiao Long was already babbling.
Although Lin Chuxia couldn’t understand the babbling, Ningning was joyfully talking to him.
Still reluctant to leave the car at the school, she said, "Brother, wait for sister at ho, I will co back to play with you after school."
Xiao Long: "Ba bu ba bu..."
Receiving a response from her brother, Ningning cheerfully ran towards the school with her backpack.
Seeing a classmate ahead, she ran over, "Feng Jingjing, are you waiting for ?"
Feng Jingjing withdrew her gaze from the school gate and looked at Ningning without responding.
Ningning didn’t seem to wait for her reply and took out two candies from her pocket and put them into her hand.
"Here are so candies," mom said that eating sweets make your mood better, and it won’t hurt anymore.
Feng Jingjing looked at the candies in her hand and paused for a long while before speaking, "Why are you giving candies?"
They didn’t even know each other.
She knew that she was a new student from the first grade, and also a relative from that family.
But they really had no interaction with each other.
Ningning didn’t know what to say, but she also knew not to reveal others’ shortcomings, so she simply said, "I have good news, I have a younger brother now, and from now on, mom, Aunt Xue, and my brother, we will live together. This is the candy Aunt Xue gave , I am sharing it with you."
Feng Jingjing’s hand paused with the candy, she looked up at Ningning, then stuffed the candy back, and even dropped one on the ground, "I don’t want your candy."
Before Ningning could say anything else, Feng Jingjing had already turned and ran.
Ningning looked at the candy on the ground, though she didn’t know why Feng Jingjing ran away, she felt that she seed very unhappy.
.........
After dropping off Old Mrs. Jia, Lin Chuxia took Wang Tianxue back to their previous apartnt building.
There were still so things belonging to Wang Tianxue that needed to be taken.
