Chapter 1293: Their Kindness Remembered

By the time they returned to the city, it was already past four in the afternoon.

Since they needed to attend Uncle Shanzi and their senior sister’s wedding in Yilan County tomorrow, Xinyan and He Jinxuan thought they would take advantage of the afternoon and visit the Lu Family.

The two little ones insisted on going as well, so they all ended up going together.

Aunt Lu greeted them with a big smile: "I heard from Haibo that you were back, so I thought you’d definitely come over. I’ve made plenty of the oil cakes you like to eat."

Mr. Ye, knowing that his two grandsons had often troubled the Lu Family, expressed his desire to have dinner together that evening.

Xinyan said, "Aunt Lu, we decided on the way that tonight we won’t be busy at home. Let’s eat out."

She thought of something and said, "Bring those oil cakes you made, and we’ll have them fry them for us at the restaurant."

He Jinxuan chimed in, "Since Haibo can’t come back today, let’s not bother at home. We’ve eaten your food so many times before; this time, let Xinyan and me treat you."

Ye Silai also added, "My dad has been saying in the car all along that he wants to treat you to a meal."

Only then did Xinyan feel a bit embarrassed and said, "Auntie, let me introduce you to these two. They are Sili and Siyan’s grandpa and dad."

Mr. Ye stepped forward, nodded at Aunt Lu, and said, "Sili and Siyan have often troubled you before, and I’m genuinely grateful."

Aunt Lu reached out and touched the two children’s heads, "They’re no trouble at all. I actually like them a lot, and having them around just makes me happy. There’s no trouble at all."

Amid laughter and chatting, the group entered the courtyard.

Ye Silai and He Jinxuan set down the gifts they were carrying.

Aunt Lu said, "You really didn’t need to bring so many things."

Despite what she said, her smile was undeniable. She wasn’t someone who cared for material wealth, but she felt a deep joy upon seeing the envious looks from neighbors looking into the courtyard.

After all, her son had yet to marry, and there weren’t many joyful events at home. She truly felt lonely and isolated being at home alone.

Suddenly having visitors made her genuinely happy, especially because her contributions were remembered by others.

She was truly delighted.

That evening, He Jinxuan made arrangements and informed the He Family.

The selected location was a newly opened restaurant not far from the He Family.

Upon receiving the news, Gao Yumei quietly said to He Jian Country, "Mom said they’re going to Yilan County tomorrow and won’t be back until New Year’s Eve. We can’t keep delaying."

"Isn’t it just that there hasn’t been an opportunity? Why are you rushing?"

At the restaurant, after a round of pleasantries, Aunt Lu, knowing the He Family but not very well, directly sat next to Xinyan.

Seeing He Jinxuan get up to find a waiter, Gao Yumei signaled to He Jian Country.

But He Yuejin, sitting beside them, said, "Second Brother, Second Sister-in-law, the dishes here taste really good. Make sure you try them carefully."

His tone was friendly, but his gaze was chilly. He Jian Country and Gao Yumei quickly realized that He Yuejin was warning them to behave and not stir up trouble.

Thanks to He Yuejin’s interruption, He Jinxuan had already returned after making arrangements, leaving He Jian Country with no chance to stand up.

Xinyan observed their interaction and whispered to Guo Yueyue, "Thanks."

Guo Yueyue understood and returned the smile.

It was what the couple had discussed on the way: they couldn’t let the Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law create a scene inappropriately, saving themselves from embarrassment in front of outsiders.
