Chapter 878 - 871: Reckless Heart
Leng Yichen came back before dinner, having been notified by Bai Yiran in advance, so he didn’t show much reaction to the sudden increase in people at home.
At the dinner table, Old Mrs. Lu took the main seat but was slow to pick up her chopsticks, clearly expressing the attitude of ’I’m the elder, I won’t eat until you do’.
Lu Zitong ignored any consideration of seniority, directly taking a seat beside Old Mrs. Lu as she would at home, her restless eyes sweeping over Leng Yichen sitting next to Bai Yiran. Her behavior was blatant, and everyone present could see it clearly.
Luna and Qiu Zi both looked uncomfortable, especially Luna, who was now beginning to regret it. She had been frightened by the seemingly dying demeanor of Old Mrs. Lu at the time, but now upon clearer reflection, she realized she had probably been tricked by the old lady.
But what could she do? Inviting a god is easy, sending away is hard, especially when it’s Old Mrs. Lu.
Seeing Leng Yichen’s face growing darker, Qiu Zi couldn’t stand it anymore. What kind of bizarre family was this, with someone’s wife right there, yet they shamelessly stared! It’s truly shameless!
"I say, Lu Zitong, is something wrong with your eyes?" Qiu Zi didn’t care if it was at the dinner table, she directly spat out.
Upon hearing Qiu Zi curse her, Lu Zitong immediately glared back, "Who are you calling with sick eyes?"
"I’m talking about you!" Qiu Zi raised her voice, "If your eyes aren’t sick, why aren’t you looking at the dishes filling the table and instead staring at someone’s husband? Do you have any shame?"
Lu Zitong’s gaze was obvious, and everyone at the table could see it, but they didn’t comment on it, making her even more blatant. However, she didn’t expect Qiu Zi to publicly expose her, immediately turning red with humiliation. When she glanced at Leng Yichen again, she found his face was frightfully cold, and quickly withdrew her gaze, clinging to Old Mrs. Lu’s arm and argued, "Grandma, how can Qiu Zi speak about me like this! I...I wasn’t looking at Mr. Leng...I was looking at...those two cute kids!"
Old Mrs. Lu also noticed her granddaughter’s gaze, but neither commented nor reminded her. Her foolish thought was maybe Leng Yichen and Lu Zitong might favor each other at the dinner table, saving her the trouble of finding someone outside for her. Although the idea of an aunt and niece marrying into the same father-son duo was unpleasant to say, appealing words can’t be eaten!
At this moment, Old Mrs. Lu considered Bai Yiran next to Leng Yichen exceptionally annoying, irritating just to look at, along with the two children next to her.
Qiu Zi’s blunt comment earlier was clearly a slap to them both, and the old lady shot a sharp glare, fiercely warning Qiu Zi with her eyes.
Qiu Zi wanted to say more, but was stopped by Lu Qian beside her, "Qiu Zi! Keep your mouth shut!"
Seeing Qiu Zi silenced once again, Lu Zitong looked at her smugly out of the corner of her eye, as if to say she could never win against her.
Bai Yiran couldn’t be bothered with them. Her husband was handsome, and there were plenty of girls who stare at him every day. She was absolutely confident in Leng Yichen. If Bai Yiran didn’t have this confidence, she’d have died of anger long ago.
Let them cause a racket there; Bai Yiran focused on taking care of Xiao Lang, while Leng Yichen cheerfully played with Xiao Xi, making the family of four look harmonious and lovely.
Old Mrs. Lu’s troublesome heart began to stir again as she focused on Xiao Lang next to Bai Yiran, frowning she asked, "I say, is that child from the Leng Family? Why doesn’t he seem like it...Besides, you’ve been married only a few years, how come the child is so big?"
