Hearing that, Xiao Zheng was a little stunned, "Why did you suddenly think of this question?"
Son or daughter?
Xiao Zheng, who was an orphan, didn't care whether Old Lin was pregnant with a son or a daughter. He had no parents, so there was no pressure to carry on the family line. He wouldn't be pressured by the older generation.
Of course, even if his father pressured him, he could only hold it in. He couldn't tell Old Lin.
"Anything is fine." Xiao Zheng beamed with joy. "You also know that brother-in-law was an orphan when he was young. Whether it's a son or a daughter, he will definitely cherish it. "
Lin Xiaozhu nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he changed the topic, "Even so, if it's a son. It should be better. "
"Why do you say that, sister-in-law?" Xiao Zheng said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
"Think about it. My sister and I are both daughters. Father must want a son in his heart, right? "Lin Xiaozhu said on his own initiative. "This is probably a regret in father's heart."
"You mean, if it's a son, it can ease our relationship?" Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and smiled.
"Yes, I think it's possible." Lin Xiaozhu nodded and sighed. "You and sister can't go against father for a lifetime. We are a family, and sooner or later we will reconcile. "
Xiao Zheng shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Boss Lin doesn't need to worry about this kind of thing."
Lin Xiaozhu glared at Xiao Zheng, "My mother is the mediator, inviting you to the Lin family for dinner tonight. At the same time to celebrate this matter. Let's see if it can be redeemed. "
Xiao Zheng nodded, "Thank your mother for me. We will definitely go. But this matter — "
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly, "After all these years, I have also seen through it. Some things can't be changed just because you say so. "
"The heavens do not disappoint those who are willing." Lin Xiaozhu tasted the cake, it was a little sweet. She picked up the spoon and sent a bite to Xiao Zheng's mouth. "Brother-in-law, try it, it's so sweet."
Xiao Zheng didn't care, he directly ate a bite of the cake, squinted his eyes and said, "It's so sweet."
"Brother-in-law, is it your teeth that are bad?"
"—"
The afternoon tea with his sister-in-law was very enjoyable. The movie was just an artistic film without any substance. Because it was still working hours, there were not many people in the cinema. After watching the movie, it was neither lively nor emotional. However, her sister-in-law was moved by the love story in the movie, and two streams of tears flowed down her cheeks.
After leaving the cinema, his sister-in-law intimately held onto Xiao Zheng's arm and said comfortably, "Brother-in-law, I just called my sister. She would go there directly. Shall we go back as well? My mom should be preparing dinner. "
Xiao Zheng nodded and said with a smile, "You're always full of wicked ideas. Let's go. "
When he arrived at the Lin family's villa, Lin Laoyao was still working in the Lin family's company. Xiao Zhu went into the kitchen to help and left Xiao Zheng in the living room to watch TV and drink tea.
She watched TV in boredom for a while and was about to get up to refill her tea when she caught a glimpse of Lin Laoyao entering the room.
His suit was well-ironed, and he was tall and slender. In terms of appearance alone, Xiao Zheng was miles away from Lin Laoyao. His background and temperament could not be compared with Lin Laoyao, the business giant of Hua Xia.
But today, he had to compete with Lin Laoyao. It was helpless, but it was also the inevitability of history. Xiao Zheng couldn't even find any reasonable excuse to end the upcoming battle.
Old Lin was pregnant?
This would only deepen Lin Laoyao's anger towards Xiao Zheng instead of joy.
The bigger Xiao Zheng's bargaining chip was, the more it would be. Lin Laoyao's disgust towards him would also increase. Because both men knew that Lin Huayin's attitude would not change. Once the two of them stood in the arena in the future, the one who would be hurt would definitely be Lin Huayin.
Therefore, most of the people who cared about the couple were happy about the birth of this child.
Only Lin Laoyao was complicated and contradictory. He even felt angry.
"Uncle Lin." Xiao Zheng put down his teacup and stood up to greet him.
Lin Laoyao nodded lightly and said, "Take your seat."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the staircase.
Xiao Zheng opened his mouth, his expression a little bitter.
In a situation where there were no outsiders, Lin Laoyao did not even have the most basic concealment. It was a very direct expression of his attitude towards Xiao Zheng.
This was a good thing, at least in private it would not be too tiring. But it was also a bad thing. There was no room for the relationship between the two of them to warm up.
After watching Lin Laoyao go upstairs, Xiao Zheng poured himself a glass of water. Then, he walked back to the living room and continued to drink tea, eat melon seeds, and watch television.
After a while, Lin Huayin also arrived after work.
She was holding a gift in her hand and casually placed it in a corner of the living room. Then, she nodded at Xiao Zheng and went straight to the kitchen to help.
Old Lin's attitude might often be difficult to accept. But in terms of behavior, she did all the necessary etiquette. There was no fault to be found.
Half an hour later, the three women finished cooking dinner. Lin Xiaozhu went upstairs to call Lin Laoyao for dinner. Old Lin also came to call Xiao Zheng.
"It's time to eat," Lin Huayin said.
Xiao Zheng nodded and suddenly squeezed Lin Huayin's palm. He said softly, "Don't have too much hope."
There were some things that the couple did not need to discuss too much. They basically knew each other's psychology. Old Lin must have felt lucky this time when he came to visit. It was not that she was not smart enough to see the situation clearly. It was because she was the one who was involved in the situation and some information was deliberately hidden from her. They did not dare to let her know at all.
And Xiao Zheng knew all the inside stories.
So he was very clear that Old Lin's pregnancy could not save this broken family relationship. It might even sink deeper and deeper.
Old Lin heard this and just nodded lightly, not saying anything.
This was the difference between her and ordinary women.
Her strong heart and psychological quality were enough to allow her to deal with any changes.
Including the most hurtful family love.
At the dining table, it was still Lin Xiaozhu who was lively. Dong Bijun kept bringing the topic to Old Lin's pregnancy. Lin Laoyao had said from the beginning that he let Lin Huayin work less and rest more. Then the silence of the meal.
The atmosphere at the dining table seemed unusually strange and solemn.
Lin Xiaozhu couldn't stand the atmosphere and wanted to explode several times, but was forcefully persuaded by Dong Bijun to go back. He didn't give her a chance to vent.
Her face was a little sullen.
After dinner with great difficulty, Lin Laoyao got up and went upstairs. The table exploded with activity.
"What does Father mean by this!?"
Lin Xiaozhu said angrily, "This is his expression of sister's pregnancy? Isn't it too cold? "
Dong Bijun gently pushed the small building to stop her from talking nonsense. Xiaozhu snorted, "I really can't understand father more and more."
Dong Bijun sighed softly.
It's not just you.
Even I have never been able to understand him.
The only one at the dining table who understood all of this was Xiao Zheng, the outsider.
But he couldn't say anything. He just gently held Old Lin's slightly cold palm. He said softly, "Go home."
