She was quite a ruthless person when she was young. Why was it that the older she got, the more cowardly she became?
If her mouth wasn't tight enough and she spilled the beans, then... ...
Zhou Lingfang gritted her teeth, her eyes revealing killing intent.
She had endured for so many years and was about to make a name for herself with much difficulty. How could she throw away her life because of a person who had already died?
It seemed that this second sister-in-law Xu could not be kept.
After all, only dead people would not open their mouths to speak.
Zhou Lingfang kept thinking about how to resolve this stumbling block. She frowned anxiously as she paced back and forth in the room.
Yan Qing knocked on the door and came in at this time. "Mom, it's time to eat. Hurry downstairs... "
He had just finished speaking when he saw the viciousness and sinister look on Zhou Lingfang's face. He suddenly felt uneasy. "Mom, what are you thinking about again? "
"Ah? " Zhou Lingfang came back to her senses and hurriedly explained, "look at you, child. What can mom think about! Aren't you planning how to spend the Spring Festival? "
She wanted to muddle through, but Yan Qing sensed that something was wrong. He closed the door behind him and looked at her with a frown. "Mom, don't think about Xiao Qi anymore. Hasn't she suffered enough? I don't want to see her hurt again. "
"..."Zhou Lingfang heard his words and felt sorry for his stupidity, but also for his stupidity.
He himself had not made much progress in the company, and now he still had the mood to worry about others. Moreover, it was a woman who did not love him at all.
How could she be so smart and give birth to such a stupid son?
Stroking her forehead, Zhou Lingfang promised, "don't worry! MOM WON'T HURT HIM! You Child, your elbows always turn outside! Let's go downstairs! "
Yan Qing saw that she was serious, so he also smiled and followed her downstairs.
Tonight's New Year's Eve dinner was much livelier than the previous years.
Although the hall was decorated with lights and streamers as usual, in previous years, only Yan Youcheng, Yan Sheng's family of three, and Yan Qing were there.
Now that there was Xia Jinqi, there was an inexplicable happiness in her belly.
Everyone took their seats.
Yan Youcheng first spoke a few words before he began to eat.
The dishes were constantly being added and withdrawn.
Second sister-in-law Xu was also among the group of people who were delivering the dishes. Coincidentally, the dish that she was going to deliver was placed in front of Yan Jun..
In view of what had just happened, second sister-in-law Xu was extremely afraid when she saw Yan Jun. Not only did she start to sweat non-stop, but she was also in a trance, so much so that the hand holding the plate was trembling slightly.
Sensing that something was wrong with second sister-in-law Xu, Yan Jun instinctively looked over coldly... ...
Probably because her gaze was too sharp, coupled with the fact that she had a guilty conscience, her hand trembled and she lost her grip on the plate, causing it to sway heavily.
Second sister-in-law Xu immediately came back to her senses and quickly held the plate steady. However, some of the soup still spilled out and landed on Xia Jinqi's arm.
It wasn't much, but the color of the soup was dazzling. A large pool of stains spread out in an instant.
Second sister-in-law Xu was scared silly and kept apologizing. "I'm sorry, Young Madam. I'm sorry. I... I didn't mean it. I'm sorry... "
Yan Jun hurriedly went to look at Xia Jinqi. "Did you burn yourself? "
"No, my clothes are quite thick. " Xia Jinqi shook her head and looked at the stain on her arm, frowning slightly.
She didn't know if it was because she had lived with Yan Jun for a long time, but she actually began to have a little Germaphobia.
Seeing that she was fine, Yan Jun turned around and looked at second sister-in-law Xu.
