Pei Nanxu and Pei Yutang probably felt guilty, as they sent ellipses instead of replying.
Lin Yan continued to send them smiley faces.
Her message was clear: Doesn't your conscience hurt?
After a minute, she heard a WeChat notification.
Pei Yutang had sent her a huge red packet and dropped a line.
This Car Isn't Going To Kindergarten had typed, 'Big Sister-In-Law, you've suffered enough!'
Pei Nanxu sent her a red packet too.
Pei Nanxu wrote, 'Big Sister-In-Law, it's been hard on you.'
Lin Yan redeemed the sum of money in the red packets, feeling slightly more consoled.
At least they weren't entirely cold-blooded…
Soon, Pei Yucheng came back with the soup.
Lin Yan scuttled to the TV as she yelled, "Let's watch TV as we eat!"
At least it would distract her a little from the agony.
Pei Yucheng replied, "Okay."
The two of them sat together quietly as they watched TV during dinner.
