Chapter 1537: Speaking Carefully

After Mrs. Lu finished her introduction, Cheng Jinnian quickly walked toward Mr. Lu. h.e.l.lo, Uncle! My name is Cheng Jinnian. Then he explained what he had said to Mrs. Lu. Once again, Mr. Lu burst into laughter.

You are very smart. Mr. Lu noticed Cheng Jinnians attire and the way he greeted him. He thought that Cheng Jinnian had probably been living abroad, so he did not touch Cheng Jinnians head. Instead, he patted Cheng Jinnian on the shoulder to show that he welcomed that young guest.

At the dining table, Mrs. Lu took the wine from last year and poured two gla.s.sesone for Lu Xingzhi and another for himself. She also poured two gla.s.ses of juice for Cheng Jinnian and Jiang Yao. Mr. Lu and Lu Xingzhi talked about family and state affairs while drinking wine.

Mrs. Lu, on the other hand, focused most of her attention on Cheng Jinnian. After all, Cheng Jinnian was a guest, and he seemed to be a guest who had returned from abroad. She needed to pay attention to Cheng Jinnians taste to adjust the food at home.

After observing for a few minutes, Mrs. Lu said, Xiao Nians preferences are very similar to your sisters. Both of your taste buds are slightly bland, but both of you seem to like braised pork with brown sauce.

If Mrs. Lu had not mentioned it, Cheng Jinnian probably would not have noticed it either. Therefore, Cheng Jinnian looked curiously at Jiang Yaos bowl when he heard that. Unexpectedly, Jiang Yao raised her hand to cover the bowl childishly. Then, she mouthed to him, Im not showing it to you.

Mrs. Lu did not know whether to laugh or cry when she saw that. She scolded jokingly, How old are you now, Jiang Yao? Isnt that childish of you? Why are you still so compet.i.tive with a five-year-old child?

I didnt do it on purpose. How else could she treat a five-year-old child who said that he would kill her?

Cheng Jinnians eyes curved into a smile. My mother and brother also like to eat light food, but my father likes to eat rich food.

You have a brother? Mrs. Lu knew some information about the Cheng family from Cheng Jinnian, but Mr. Lu did not know anything.

Yes, a half-brother. Brothers biological mother died when he was very young. Later, Mother took care of Brother. His taste became the same as Mothers. Brother is very good to me, and he is also very good to Mother. Mother has been feeling unwell recently, so Brother stayed by her side to help Father take care of her.

Lu Xingzhi took another look at Cheng Jinnian. He had been speaking very carefully.

It was rare for a five-year-old child to be able to explain a problem so thoroughly without arousing suspicion.

Due to the complexity of the Cheng family, when any outsiders learned that the half-brother was related to their stepmother, most people would think that the family was not harmonious.

However, Cheng Jinnians words showed that the Cheng family members had a great relations.h.i.+p with each other.

Mr. Lu was relieved to hear that. Jiang Yaos biological father and grandmother were troubled. If her biological mother were also a mess, Jiang Yao would probably have a lot of trouble in the future.

Cheng Jinnians answer attracted Mr. Lus attention. He also asked some questions about Jiang Yaos biological mother. The people at the table started to talk one after another.

Of course, except for Jiang Yao, who was holding the bowl.

It was not until a hand touched Jiang Yao at the back of her head that she turned to look at the owner of the said hand.
