“Let’s go.”
“Okay.”
The family of three went out happily.
“A Jian, look, Yuehua can accompany us to the seaside for fun, but Dr Zeng does not even have time to eat with us. She has never come to visit us either. Yuehua is much better.”
Mother Lin seized every opportunity to speak well of He Yuehua.
She strongly urged her son to choose He Yuehua.
“Mum, we agreed to give me another six months. If, after six months, Xiaoya still does not accept my feelings, I will give up completely.”
He Yuehua would wait another six months for him.
If the outcome was not ideal after six months, he would choose He Yuehua.
“Fine, fine, we will talk about it again in six months. Mum just thinks the child Yuehua is more suitable for our family. She is so capable and good to us.”
Unlike that Dr Zeng. It is said that the Zeng family employs a nanny to cook. Dr Zeng probably cannot even cook.
How could she look after A Jian in the future?
When she follows A Jian back to the hometown for festivals, how could she prepare a table full of good dishes for everyone?
Especially during Chinese New Year, when relatives and friends come to visit, several tables of food need to be prepared to entertain the guests.
At present, Mother Lin, her daughter, and one daughter-in-law do the preparation. She wants to wait until A Jian is married and all the daughters-in-law are in place. Then, as the mother-in-law, she can retire, and the daughters-in-law will prepare the meals to entertain relatives and friends.
But if Zeng Xiaoya cannot cook, it would cause relatives and friends to gossip.
“Mum, Xiaoya is very busy with work. She has no time.”
Dr Lin spoke up for Zeng Xiaoya.
“She is different from Yuehua.”
“Stop talking about it. Yuehua is waiting by the roadside.” Father Lin reminded the mother and son not to continue on this topic.
He Yuehua was waiting at the entrance of the apartment building she rented.
The building happened to be right by the street.
Seeing Dr Lin’s car, He Yuehua waved.
Soon, the car stopped in front of her.
“Yuehua, get in quickly.”
Mother Lin enthusiastically beckoned He Yuehua into the car. He Yuehua had changed her clothes into a dress and put on a little makeup. In Mother Lin’s eyes, she was no less attractive than Dr Zeng.
She was carrying a twenty-inch suitcase. Inside the case were not only spare clothes, but also her skincare products and cosmetics.
Mother Lin took the small suitcase from her hands and signalled with her eyes for He Yuehua to sit in the front passenger seat.
Father Lin and Mother Lin both sat in the back row. The couple tacitly left the front passenger seat for He Yuehua.
He Yuehua did not stand on ceremony. She opened the front passenger door and slipped into the car.
“Have you been waiting long?”
Lin Jian asked casually.
“No, I had just finished packing and come downstairs. I only waited a few minutes before you arrived.”
After settling in, He Yuehua took out her phone. “Dr Lin, I will continue looking at hotels. If we stay one night by the seaside tonight, we need to book a hotel. Fortunately, it is not a holiday, so it should not be difficult to book.”
She could take her time looking at the pros and cons of various hotels and book one that was good but not too expensive.
This way, everyone would stay comfortably without spending too much money, which would satisfy Mother Lin.
