Chapter 1028: Confirming Her Suspicions

Enjoying the conversation, Xinyan actually forgot her main task. It wasn’t until she smelled the aroma of fish stew coming from the kitchen that she remembered she had promised Sister Wu to have lunch at her house.

She hurriedly looked at He Jinxuan because, when she made that promise to Sister Wu, He Jinxuan wasn’t listening.

He Jinxuan felt her gaze: "What’s up?"

Xinyan quickly spoke up: "When we got off the car, I promised Sister Wu that I’d have lunch at her house."

Everyone in the room heard this, and Zhao Jianlan was the first to protest: "No way, knowing you’re coming back, we’ve prepared quite a few dishes at home, you can’t leave."

Zhang Meilian, who was just coming in from the kitchen, heard this: "Xinyan, have lunch at home today, I’ll have Jianjun go over later and bring the Wu Family over, so everyone can join in the fun."

Xinyan felt a bit embarrassed after hearing this.

Zhao Huaiqing raised his hand and said: "It’s okay, we must eat, and it’s rare we have a reason to gather, so let’s have some fun."

But then, unexpectedly, Lu Haibo, who got wind of it, also came over, saying directly: "Director Zhao, Director Zhang, I’ve come to join the meal today."

As he spoke, he raised two bottles of wine and a bag of deli foods: "I brought some snacks for the drinks."

After saying that, he didn’t care whether Zhao Huaiqing agreed or not, he smiled and greeted everyone, then gave He Jinxuan a bear hug: "You didn’t inform me ahead of time, if it weren’t for my quick information, I might have missed it."

While speaking, he glanced at Zhao Jianlan on the opposite side.

If it wasn’t for hearing from that girl about his good buddy coming with his fiancée, he wouldn’t have known; he quickly arranged for someone to cover his shift, otherwise, he’d already be on his way to He Province now.

Zhao Huaiqing instructed his youngest son who had just entered: "Jianjun, quickly get another chair for Uncle Lu."

Upon hearing this term of address, Lu Haibo’s first reaction was to look at Zhao Jianlan.

Their small actions were noticed by Xinyan immediately, these two have a situation.

Then Zhao Jianlan said: "Dad, Xinyan calls you Uncle, Captain He and Mr. Lu are brothers, having Jianjun call him Uncle mixes up the generations."

Zhao Huaiqing clapped Lu Haibo on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Look at me, let’s call him Brother."

Zhao Jianlan saw her dad change the term, and then satisfactorily glanced at Lu Haibo proudly.

This further confirmed Xinyan’s suspicions, alright, no need for Zhao Jianlan to explain, she found out who Zhao Jianlan has her heart set on.

Zhao Jianjun, upon hearing that he’s running an errand for Xinyan, and seeing it’s going to Wu Wensheng’s house, agreed without any hesitation.

Ever since that river drowning incident, Wu Wensheng became Zhao Jianjun’s little follower, their relationship is very good.

Sister Wu, Jiao Sini, after receiving Zhao Jianjun’s message, didn’t rest, she cooked all the dishes prepared at home, and put them in a large basket.

Then she took her husband Wu Xiangxing and son Wu Wensheng to Zhao Huaiqing’s house together.

Of course, still as always prioritizing boys over girls, not bringing the young lady.

Xinyan really couldn’t understand how someone could not understand that daughters also carry on the lineage.

When the Wu Family arrived, the Zhao Family had already set the table.

As soon as Sister Wu came in, she said loudly: "Today we truly are bothering Director Zhao and Director Zhang."

Saying this, she also pulled Wu Wensheng who followed over: "Greet the people."

Wu Wensheng was obedient, besides he’s been to the Zhao Family’s house often to play: "Hello Uncle Zhao, Aunt Zhao."

After saying this, he wanted to run towards Zhao Jianjun, but was pulled back by his mom by the collar: "Didn’t you see there are more people, how impolite."

Wu Wensheng looked at the other people standing at the door, and grinned: "Hello Brother Zhao, Sister Zhao, Director He, Sister Xinyan, Sister Jianlan."

He was about to greet Zhao Jianjun when Zhao Jianjun said: "We’re old acquaintances, no need to be so formal."

Zhao Huaiqing patted his young son’s head: "Boy, aren’t you going to invite Uncle Wu, Aunt and Wensheng inside?"

Soon, the room was filled with laughter, sound of clinking glasses, very lively.
