Dong Bijun cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, then cleaned up the kitchen. Only then did she serve the brewed tea and went upstairs to Lin Chaotian's study.
At this time, the study was serene. Lin Chaotian was sitting at the desk, reading. His expression was calm and quiet. There was no change in his emotions.
Even though he just learned from his daughter that he was about to become a grandfather.
It was as if nothing in this world could disturb Lin Laoyao's mood.
This was too scary and too sad.
If a person lost even the most basic emotions, could he still be called a person?
Dong Bijun set up the tea set and poured a cup of hot tea for Lin Laoyao very calmly. Then, she sat down lightly and said softly, "With Huayin's pregnancy, our identities have upgraded."
Lin Laoyao took a sip of the hot tea and nodded. "Yes." His eyes were still on the book, without any intention of being distracted.
"Actually —" Dong Bijun paused and said hesitantly. "Since they are father and daughter, how can there be overnight hatred? Huayin actually wanted to compromise this time. "
"Did she?" Lin Laoyao raised his eyes slightly and glanced at Dong Bijun. "She told you? Or is it your own speculation? "
Dong Bijun felt a little guilty when Lin Laoyao's calm gaze swept over her.
"It is my personal speculation," Dong Bijun bit her lip and said softly.
"Leave." Lin Laoyao put down the teacup and looked straight at the book.
Dong Bijun saw that Lin Laoyao had no interest in continuing the conversation, so she nodded and regretfully left the study.
Ever since the last incident, he had become colder to her. Even though Dong Bijun completely accepted this punishment. From her point of view, she hoped that her husband would not live too tiredly and alone.
How much hatred did he have that he would not even acknowledge his daughter?
Dong Bijun believed that what Lin Laoyao was thinking was not what he saw with his own eyes. There must be more unknown reasons that led him to this day step by step.
After Dong Bijun left, Lin Laoyao gently put down the book. Then he lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
"Is he really going to be a grandfather?"
Lin Laoyao muttered, and he seemed to be slightly surprised and in slight disbelief.
"Xiao Zheng, you sure have guts."
…
Along the way, Old Lin did not make a sound.
Based on Xiao Zheng's understanding of her, Old Lin was probably not in a good mood.
It was not hard to understand. Who did Old Lin bow his head to? But today, at the dinner table, she took the initiative to say a few words to Lin Laoyao. But the result he got was cold words. Not only was he not enthusiastic, he did not seem to care at all.
It could be said that tonight, Elder Lin was the perfect example of being snubbed after showing his warm face.
Slowing down the car, Xiao Zheng gently held Elder Lin's cold palm and said softly, "Don't think too much."
Hearing this, Lin Huayin looked straight ahead and said, "I didn't think about it."
Xiao Zheng sighed in his heart, not knowing how to persuade him.
There were some things that he couldn't let Lin Huayin know. Once he found out, he might fall into even greater pain.
Lin Laoyao probably felt the same way.
His daughter's maternal grandfather was the enemy who killed his father.
His daughter's mother was the daughter of the person who killed his father.
How should he say these words?
Xiao Zheng guessed that perhaps Lin Laoyao was also struggling with himself.
No one could guess Lin Laoyao's thoughts, not even Xiao Zheng. Therefore, he didn't dare to make a conclusion easily. He would never dream that Lin Laoyao would give up on revenge for his grandson. The only thing he could do was try his best to finish every step he took.
Only when one was strong enough could one control everything.
When he reached home, Elder Lin immediately went upstairs to rest. Xiao Zheng, on the other hand, was sitting in the living room drinking tea gloomily. Jessica could tell that Xiao Zheng was not in a good mood. He brought some snacks over and sat down to chat with her.
"Sir. Are you in a bad mood? "Jessica asked gently.
Xiao Zheng nodded. "I'm depressed."
"Why don't you tell me about it?" Jessica smiled. "Maybe I can share some of your burdens."
Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes at Jessica. "How can a single man like you help me?"
Pausing, he said expectantly, "When you were in the British royal family, you must have witnessed the separation of flesh and blood, right?"
Hearing this, Jessica shook her head and said, "Under the wise leadership of Queen Ying, the royal family was harmonious."
After coming to Hua Xia, Jessica even learned how to use the Harmonious Twins.
But just as he finished speaking, he changed the topic and said, "But I've heard of the long history of the British royal family."
"Tragedies are bound to happen when power is centralized," Jessica said in a serious tone. "The history of the British royal family is also a history stained with blood. There are many sad stories of family members killing each other and separating flesh and blood. "
Xiao Zheng glared at Jessica. "In terms of history, Hua Xia's history is much more profound than that of England. How can you be a match for Hua Xia when it comes to politics? "
Jessica smiled and pursed her lips. "Sir, you really are a person with a strong sense of national honor."
"Of course." Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes and sighed. "You can't help me with my headache either. Why don't you prepare some supper for me and drink with me? I didn't eat much of tonight's meal. "
Jessica smiled and said, "Yes."
"There's no problem that a table of good food can't solve," Jessica said.
"What if there is?" Xiao Zheng smiled.
"Then two tables it is," Jessica said enthusiastically. She turned and walked into the kitchen to prepare.
With Jessica around, Xiao Zheng never had to worry about what to eat tonight. He also didn't have to worry about food at home. This old butler could be on call 24 hours a day. He also had stricter discipline than a soldier.
Doing everything to the extreme was admirable. Xiao Zheng found a sense of approval from Jessica.
After Jessica prepared supper, Xiao Zheng went upstairs to greet Old Lin without much hope. In the end, Old Lin unexpectedly agreed to it. This caused Xiao Zheng to be extremely surprised.
"Come, eat more. If you don't eat your fill, your baby will suffer too. "Xiao Zheng placed some food in Old Lin's bowl and clinked glasses with Jessica's.
The two of them drank slowly, but they drank a lot. In less than half an hour, they had finished a bottle of Maotai each. Jessica's alcohol tolerance was average and she drank a little too much. At this moment, the alcohol had gotten to her head and she was on the verge of collapsing.
Xiao Zheng laughed and patted Jessica's shoulder. Then, he carried her and threw her into the room. When he came out, he saw Old Lin looking at him with a weird expression. He touched his face and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I finally know what it feels like to be stuck in the middle," Lin Huayin said.
Xiao Zheng heard this and pretended to exaggerate, "Didn't you know before?"
"I can only understand it, but I can't feel it for myself," Lin Huayin said.
"Then why did you suddenly realize it?" Xiao Zheng teased.
"Because of the baby," Old Lin touched his stomach and said gently.
