chapter-1513
Lu Xingzhi patted Jiang Yao’s head before returning the phone to her. He said, “Your mom and dad are worried. You’ve been working hard, so it’s not suitable for you to run around. I’m going to bring them here.”
Lu Xingzhi called out to Mrs. Lu in the kitchen, telling her to cook a few more dishes in the evening. Then, he went out.
Jiang Yao stood there pouting. Then, she said a few words to Mr. Jiang on the phone before hanging up.
Since there was nothing to do in the living room, she went to the kitchen to see if she could do anything to help. After all, if her parents, brother, and sister-in-law were to come to dinner, they would need more dishes. She was afraid that Mrs. Lu would not be able to handle it by herself.
However, when she entered the kitchen, Mrs. Lu pushed her out without saying anything.“Just wait in the living room, or go upstairs and rest for a while. Your dad can help me.”Jiang Yao did not know how to cook. Mrs. Lu had never asked Jiang Yao to help even when Jiang Yao was not injured. Since she was injured, it was even more impossible for Mrs. Lu to ask her to help with the housework.
After leading Jiang Yao to the sofa and forcing her to sit down, Mrs. Lu picked up a washed apple from the table and stuffed it into Jiang Yao’s palm. “The meal won’t be ready in a while. If you’re hungry, eat an apple first.”
Then, Mrs. Lu called out to Mr. Lu. She told him to come downstairs and to the kitchen.
Lu Xingzhi drove his car to pick her family up. The vehicle was from Second Uncle Lu’s garage. It would not take long since he took the car. Lu Xingzhi brought the four Jiang family members home in about half an hour.
When the elderly greeted each other, Jiang Jie walked directly toward Jiang Yao. He observed Jiang Yao for some time. After a while, he said, “You did not lose weight last time, but you’ve lost so much since then.”
Wang Xian stood at the side and nodded. “You seem to have lost a lot of weight. It’s like the flesh on your face is gone again.”
Mrs. Lu did not ask Mrs. Jiang to help her cook. She knew that the Jiang family must be worried about Jiang Yao, so she told Mrs. Jiang to talk to Jiang Yao and Lu Xingzhi. Then, Mr. and Mrs. Lu went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.As soon as she saw Jiang Yao, Mrs. Jiang immediately asked why she did not go to school. Even though the worry on her face had lessened after she saw Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu’s attitude, it was still there.
Jiang Yao told her parents, brother, and sister-in-law about her mission with Lu Xingzhi. Unsurprisingly, she was reprimanded by Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang.
“Did Xingzhi tell you to follow him to mess around?” Mrs. Jiang looked at Lu Xingzhi. “Aren’t you afraid that she will cause you trouble and drag you down with her? You can’t spoil your wife like that. Don’t do that again!”
“Mom, can you please stop scolding me? I have been scolded for quite a while now.” Jiang Yao cupped her mother’s hand and acted coquettishly. If she continued reprimanding her, she would really fall asleep.
“How long do you have to recuperate? Are you suspended from school? Where is the injury? Is it serious?” Jiang Jie only noticed that Jiang Yao did not look so good when he heard that she was injured.
“I took some time off school to recuperate. I’ll go back and take the final exam as usual.” Jiang Yao did not mention her injury. She only said that she needed to recuperate.
When she noticed that Wang Xian’s hands were always on her lower abdomen, Jiang Yao’s eyes lit up. She quickly sat down beside Wang Xian. “Sister-in-law, am I going to be an auntie?”
