Chapter 96 Chatting works wonders
"Come, eat, eat -" Pei Yilan and Jiang Meixian greeted Andre warmly.
Andre just looked at me with scorching eyes. I ignored him and lowered my head and started feeding Lele. Occasionally, I raised my head to pick some fish for Lele.
Andre finally fell down and buried himself in his meal angrily. He had to accept the fact that I was a child and a mother.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was not dull because of the depression of the two of us, but instead seemed irritable. Jiang Meixian and her daughter had already talked enough, let alone three more gambling friends. As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together, people flock together", with
They didn't need to find topics to talk about when they were together. From playing cards to Andre's net worth and background, they talked endlessly.
Pei Yilan introduced Andre's family background, as proud as if Andre was already her fiancé.
It can be seen that Andre can't bear it anymore.
But he endured it for a while, and when he saw that I was so cold and expressionless, he stood up, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, and then apologized humbly: "Sorry, there is something urgent in the company, I have to leave first."
One step, there is a very important meeting to be held. I will come back to you another day."
"Oh, why did you just leave? It's so rude. We are still here. Hey, Meixian, has your prospective son-in-law drank too much foreign ink and Westernized the rules?" One of the old aunts asked.
He stared at Andre with his sparse eyebrows.
"Yes, this is just the beginning. Doesn't this dish taste good? This is fried by Yilan herself. It's delicious. Sit down. No matter how busy you are at work, you still need to eat. You won't even have time to eat.
It's not too late for you to go to work after dinner." Jiang Meixian spoke boldly, as if she were her mother-in-law.
After hearing this, Andre probably felt uncomfortable, so he corrected him with a cold face: "You don't know, I'm often so busy with work that I don't even have three meals to eat. I'm just a workaholic, otherwise how could I be wealthy? I work hard.
What a gain. Also, I'm not Pei Yilan's boyfriend, nor a prospective son-in-law, I'm just her classmate. Sorry, I'm sorry."
Andre bowed, picked up his suit jacket and walked out.
Everyone was stunned.
Pei Yilan's face turned red and white, and her cheeks, which were as thin as a monkey's face, did not bulge even though she was angry.
"Andre, you've gone too far!" Hearing Andre's sound of closing the security door, Pei Yilan finally exploded and screamed.
I was stunned and hugged Lele, fearing that she would be frightened.
Pei Yilan slammed her chopsticks on the table, threw her head away, ran back to her room and cried loudly.
"Ah, this, this, old sister, what's going on?" The other three aunts looked at each other, and then looked at Jiang Meixian with a bit of disdain and asked.
"Embarrassed" was written all over Jiang Meixian's face.
"Hehehehe, it's okay, it's okay. When young people fall in love, how can there be no noise? It'll be over in a while. As a parent, I am the most open-minded, and I never ask about young people's concerns. So, hurry up and eat
Well, after eating, let's continue playing. I must get back what I lost just now, otherwise I lose again and treat you to such a rich meal. I will suffer a huge loss!"
Jiang Meixian danced around and successfully diverted everyone's attention with her exaggerated speech and behavior.
Soon, the three people became happy again: "Yes, yes, eat quickly and win a few while you are lucky."
So, they were so gluttonous that they finished eating like a storm and left.
I thought I could just wait for them to finish their meal and then I could enjoy it slowly. Unexpectedly, as soon as these four old women started to move, their cups and plates were almost empty, leaving no room for me.
They devoured all the shrimps, crabs, and abalone, leaving none for me. Only a plate of green vegetables and a plate of fish-flavored eggplants were left. Fortunately, these are two of my favorite dishes, and they were paired with white rice.
It’s also delicious to eat.
Lele kept asking me: "Mom, who was the man with a dark face just now? Why was my aunt angry? She was so terrible when she threw her chopsticks. And who are those ugly women? I don't like to see them.
, are they grandma’s friends?”
I said in sign language: "Lele, don't ask, let's eat first and then let's take a nap. The adults are having fun, nothing happened."
After I finished eating and put away the dishes, I hugged Lele and hid back in the room.
I can play with Lele and come up with new stories at the same time, which is great.
Then, I received a video call from Pei Yixuan. In the video, I saw that he was still wearing ancient costume. I asked him in sign language: "Have you started filming a new movie? So soon."
Pei Yixuan smiled evilly and said: "What we need is this kind of efficiency. This movie costs 500 yuan per episode. After filming this movie, I can buy them a villa and then live our little life happily. Are you there?"
Are you okay at home? Are you getting along well with them?"
I was silent for a moment and nodded: "Okay, nothing happens. You can film with peace of mind."
"That's good. I miss you very much. Where are you and Lele. Where is Lele?" Pei Yixuan shouted happily, but through the video, I can still feel the cold cry of the north wind, blowing his face like a knife.
A feeling of pain.
With tears in my eyes, I waved to Lele to come over.
Lele happily put down the crayons and ran over. As soon as she saw her father in the video, she immediately greeted her father with her colorful hands painted with crayons.
"Dad, how are you?" Lele said with a sweet voice and an angelic smile.
Pei Yixuan's expression was as if his bones were brittle: "Okay, I'm fine. Lele, how are you?"
"That's not good. Grandma and aunt are both cruel." Lele suddenly told the truth, which shocked me.
I quickly covered her small
Mouth. However, this move puzzled Lele and made Pei Yixuan suspicious.
He began to stop smiling and asked me seriously: "What's going on? Tell the truth and be silent. The most important thing between husband and wife is to be honest and not to hide anything."
I thought about it and decided, no matter what, I have to consult with someone before making a decision.
So, I recounted what happened in the past two days, including the fact that my sister-in-law had a crush on my childhood sweetheart, Andre, and asked me to cook under my own name to curry favor with Andre.
Pei Yixuan sighed: "Sometimes, I really wonder if I am her biological child. I have made you suffer."
I smiled bitterly and gestured: "Yes, I am quite skeptical too. Your appearance and qualities are not on the same level as theirs."
Of course, I'm joking.
"I want to hire a nanny, is that okay? If I keep doing housework and waiting on them, I won't be able to write at all. I also want to write a new script." I discussed it with Pei Yixuan seriously.
"Of course. With my current income, I can definitely afford to support you and a nanny. You can hire one, no, hire two. One will cook and serve tea for the poker friends, and the other will be responsible for cleaning and laundry.
Pick up Lele. I don't want Lele and you to suffer. I will tell them about this myself. Just say it was my idea and don't let them take anything away from you." Pei Yixuan made a decisive decision.
My heart felt as sweet as drinking honey. The grievances I had suffered in the past two days suddenly disappeared and I didn't care about it at all.
"Well, thank you, husband." I gestured.
Lele suddenly translated this sentence for me: "Thank you, husband."
Pei Yixuan and I were stunned for a moment, and laughed in unison. Lele also squinted her eyes and giggled when she saw us laughing. Maybe she didn't know what we were laughing about, but she liked to see us happy.
Later, when the laughter stopped, I asked Pei Yixuan again: "If Lele is sent back to the orphanage for care, and the nanny only takes her home on weekends, do you agree? I write seriously from Monday to Friday, and I will take her back on weekends.
, take her out to play, or take her to a talent class. Usually, the dean and the others send her to a regular kindergarten, what do you think?"
"Okay, you decide. I believe in the dean and you. You have been teachers in the orphanage for so long and you know how to educate children. I don't, so you should worry more." Pei Yixuan's words really spoke to my heart.
.
The most rare thing is the trust of your sweetheart.
"Okay," I gestured desperately, "as long as you trust me, I will definitely arrange the writing, family affairs, and children's affairs."
"Well, I'll ask the assistant secretary in Tao Ran's company to help you find two nannies. They will be delivered soon, so you don't have to worry." Pei Yixuan is really thoughtful.
After finishing the conversation with Pei Yixuan, I felt as if the sky had cleared up after the rain and the haze had cleared away.
If I had known that talking to my husband would have such miraculous effects, I should have talked to him earlier.
That night, I called Ge Hui and invited her, Pang Ya, Zeng Yingjun, Yu Xinyu and others to come to my house as guests. One was to celebrate the housewarming, and the other was to discuss with the dean about accepting Lele again.
I don't doubt that the dean will agree to accept Lele. She likes Lele so much that she should be asking for it. What I'm worried about is whether my mother-in-law and sister-in-law will do anything weird after they come.
I secretly prayed in my heart that as long as they can hide in the mahjong room and the other hide in the room and roar like usual, then everything will be fine.
That night, I think Pei Yixuan called her mother-in-law and sister-in-law and told her about hiring a nanny and sending Lele to an orphanage. Because she asked me before going to bed.
At ten o'clock, I put Lele to sleep, went out to the living room to pour water, and was about to come back and stay up all night to write out the outline of the new drama. I met my mother-in-law watching TV with her legs crossed, and my sister-in-law was leaning in her arms.
Both women were eating melon seeds.
I approached slowly and quietly, ready to pour the water and then retreat.
"Little mute, stop here." Jiang Meixian's voice was very loud, complementing her burly and round figure.
I made up my mind and prepared to pretend to be deaf and listen to her scolding.
"Okay, you. Are you complaining to my son so quickly? Can't you bear your arrogance after only serving for two days? You want to be a young mistress! What a skill! If you hire a nanny, just hire a nanny. Forget it this time. But in the future,
Please shut up about the matter between us and don't complain to your husband. Really, God has already punished you to be a mute, why are you still so restless? Being mute can't stop you from speaking, really." Jiang Meixian fumed angrily.
