Neither of them said anything else.
After a while, Lu Jinshen got up and passed the pistachios he had peeled to Tong Qiao. "Don't eat too much. Dry them up."
Tong Qiao was stunned for a moment. Her heart was filled with warmth, but she said, "Who asked you to peel them for me? It's not like I don't have hands. "
"I didn't peel them for you. My tongue hurts, so I can't eat them." Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao with a smile in his eyes.
Tong Qiao's ears turned red. She immediately stopped talking and pretended not to understand. She focused on the TV screen.
"Don't look at it for too long. It's not good for your eyes," Lu Jinshen reminded her, then turned and walked upstairs.
…
Tong Qiao got up to open the door. Sheng Yufei and Lu Ziqian were standing outside.
Tong Qiao ignored Sheng Yufei and reached out to rub Lu Ziqian's hair. "Come in. It's cold outside."
Lu Ziqian looked up at Sheng Yufei cautiously, then said to Tong Qiao with a look of disdain, "You're so annoying. How many times have I told you not to touch my hair?"
"Ziqian, how can you talk to Auntie like that?" Sheng Yufei frowned slightly at Lu Ziqian.
Lu Ziqian bent over to change his shoes and didn't say anything.
"Tong Qiao, Ziqian …" Before Sheng Yufei could finish her sentence, Tong Qiao had already turned around and entered the house. Her disdain and disgust were obvious. Sheng Yufei tightened her grip on her bag, but there was a smile on her face. She looked generous and decent.
She changed her shoes and entered the house. She patted Lu Ziqian's head. "Go play by yourself. I want to talk to your Auntie Tong Qiao."
"Okay." Lu Ziqian obediently entered the toy room on the first floor.
Sheng Yufei walked to the sofa and sat down. "Tong Qiao, I'm sorry."
Tong Qiao pretended to be confused and looked at Sheng Yufei. "Where are you singing this time?"
Sheng Yufei said gently, "Leilei just went to my place. Don't take what she said to heart. I was drunk that night, and Jinshen only sent me home. We didn't do anything."
Sure enough, this was it!
With Fu Zhilei's previous actions, coupled with Sheng Yufei's current actions, she believed that no matter who it was, they would go crazy with anger.
Fortunately, Lu Jinshen's methods were 'ruthless'. He had paid the price of blood to explain everything clearly in advance. Otherwise, she would have fallen for this bad woman's trick again.
Tong Qiao's lips curled into a faint sneer. Sheng Yufei wasn't explaining but fanning the flames. "You were drunk, but Lu Jinshen still didn't do anything to you. Are you very disappointed?"
Sheng Yufei's expression stiffened, and a trace of disbelief flashed across her eyes.
Tong Qiao didn't miss any of the expressions on her face. She smiled faintly and said, "Very surprised, right? Why am I so calm? Why didn't I fly into a rage? Why didn't I make a scene? "
Sheng Yufei adjusted her facial expression and smiled faintly. She moved her lips and was about to say something when Tong Qiao spoke again.
"If I make a scene during the New Year, Lu Jinshen's parents will be thoroughly disappointed in me, won't they? Then, Lu Jinshen will think that I'm being unreasonable and unfit to be Mrs. Lu. Very well, everyone won't like me anymore. I can get out of the Lu family. Wrap up. A perfect ending. Is this how you intend to act out this scene? "
Sheng Yufei's smile was a little stiff, but she tried her best to maintain it. "I don't know what you're talking about."
This was what Tong Qiao figured out after she calmed down. This was also the reason why she didn't agree to let Sheng Yufei come over for the reunion dinner but took the initiative to call her over.
Since Sheng Yufei had already planned this scene meticulously, why not finish it in one go? Today was the last day of the year. This kind of scheming scene shouldn't be left for next year. It was too unlucky to do it on the New Year.
"Your plan is pretty good, and the plot is well planned. Unfortunately …" Tong Qiao leaned against the sofa and gave Sheng Yufei a regretful look. "You didn't give me the script in advance, so I couldn't act according to your script. I'm sorry I messed it up."
Sheng Yufei was so angry that the veins on her forehead were throbbing. The anger in her heart was about to set her on fire. She scanned the surroundings and made sure that no one was around. She moved closer to Tong Qiao and said in a low voice, "Do you think you've won? Don't be so smug. The show has just begun. "
Tong Qiao was stunned for a moment, then her lips curved into a smile. "Oh, did the sun rise from the west today? You're not pretending anymore? "
Sheng Yufei ignored Tong Qiao's sarcasm and continued in a low voice, "Do you think that in Jin Shen's heart, you're more important than me? No matter when, as long as I'm in trouble, Jin Shen will definitely appear by my side with one call. Do you believe that? "
Tong Qiao recalled Lu Jinshen's words, "I'll take care of Yufei and Ziqian for the rest of my life." Now, facing Sheng Yufei's question, she actually didn't have the confidence to answer.
Seeing that Tong Qiao wasn't speaking, Sheng Yufei felt that she had won a round. The anger in her heart dissipated, and a smile returned to her face. "Although Jin Shen and I are divorced, Jin Shen said that he'll take care of us for the rest of his life. I know he still has feelings for me."
Tong Qiao couldn't bear to see Sheng Yufei take advantage of her. "If you still have feelings for him, why did you get a divorce?"
Sheng Yufei paused for a moment, then said confidently, "He has me in his heart, and I have him in my heart. We'll get married again sooner or later. Just you wait."
Tong Qiao wanted to say something, but she saw that Sheng Yufei had already stood up and was facing the staircase. She smiled faintly and said in a gentle voice, "Jin Shen."
Lu Jinshen nodded. His gaze landed on Tong Qiao's face, and he asked her with his eyes, "What's going on?"
Tong Qiao was still upset by Sheng Yufei. She turned her head away and ignored Lu Jinshen.
Sheng Yufei took the initiative to say, "Tong Qiao called me and asked me to come over for the reunion dinner. I didn't want to come at first. After all, we're already divorced. I was afraid that I'd cause trouble for you, but Leilei is at my place. She told me that she accidentally let slip what happened that night. I was worried that Tong Qiao would misunderstand, so I came over to explain."
Tong Qiao frowned and looked at Sheng Yufei in disbelief. This woman was too good at pretending, wasn't she?
Just a second ago, she was solemnly saying that she would get married to Lu Jinshen again. The next second, she was smiling and saying that she didn't want to disturb them.
Ha!
Did this woman learn how to change her expression?
"Sheng Yufei, do you dare to repeat what you said to me just now in front of Lu Jinshen?"
Sheng Yufei said apologetically, "Tong Qiao, I'm really sorry. I'll try my best not to disturb you and Jin Shen in the future."
Tong Qiao sneered. "Take your time acting. Forgive me for not keeping you company." After saying that, she got up and walked upstairs.
When she walked past Lu Jinshen, he held her hand and smiled warmly.
However, Tong Qiao didn't like that smile of his. Was he smiling at her because she had invited his ex-wife over for the reunion dinner?
Tong Qiao pushed Lu Jinshen's hand away and strode upstairs.
Lu Jinshen looked at Tong Qiao's cold back and frowned slightly. Did he make her angry again?
