After Mrs. Lu finished the introductions, Cheng Kam Nian quickly walked over to Mr. Lu. "Hello, uncle! My name is Cheng Kam Nian. " Then, he repeated the explanation that he had given to Mother Lu, and once again, Father Lu broke into a smile.
"You are very smart." Mr. Lu noticed Cheng Kam Nian's attire and the way he greeted him. He guessed that Cheng Kam Nian might have been living abroad, so he did not touch Cheng Kam Nian's head. Instead, he patted Cheng Kam Nian's shoulder to show his welcome as the head of the family.
At the dining table for lunch, Mrs. Lu took out the grape wine she had made last year and poured two glasses for Lu Xingzhi and Mr. Lu. She also poured two glasses of juice for Cheng Kam Nian and Jiang Yao. Mr. Lu and Lu Xingzhi chatted about family affairs and national affairs as they drank.
Mrs. Lu focused most of her attention on Cheng Kam Nian. After all, Cheng Kam Nian was a guest who seemed to have returned from abroad. She had to pay attention to Cheng Kam Nian's taste to adjust the food at home.
After a few minutes of observation, Mrs. Lu said happily, "Xiao Nian's preferences are very similar to your sister's. Both of you prefer light food, but both of you seem to like braised pork."
If Mrs. Lu had not mentioned it, Cheng Kam Nian would not have noticed it himself. So when he heard Mrs. Lu's words, Cheng Kam Nian looked curiously at Jiang Yao's bowl. He did not expect Jiang Yao to childishly raise her hand and cover the bowl. Then she mouthed at him, "I'm not showing it to you."
Mrs. Lu did not know whether to laugh or cry at Jiang Yao's action. She scolded jokingly, "How old are you? Aren't you childish? Why are you competing with a five-year-old child? "
"You're really careful." How could she treat a five-year-old child who threatened to kill her with a gun?
Cheng Kam Nian's eyes curved into a smile. "My mother and brother also like to eat light food, but my father likes to eat heavy food."
"You have an older brother?" Cheng Kam Nian's mother knew some information about the members of the Cheng family, but Father Lu didn't.
"Yes, he's my half-brother from a different mother. His biological mother passed away when he was very young. Later, his mother went to his side to take care of him. His taste then became the same as his mother's. He's very good to me and to my mother. My mother hasn't been feeling well recently, so he stayed by her side to help his father take care of her."
Because of these words, Lu Xingzhi couldn't help but take another look at Cheng Kam Nian. This person was really cautious.
It was rare for a five-year-old child to be able to explain a problem so thoroughly without arousing suspicion.
Because of the complexity of the Cheng family, when outsiders who didn't know him heard that he was a half-brother from a different mother and had a stepmother, most people would think that the family might not be harmonious.
However, Cheng Kam Nian's few words showed that the four members of the Cheng family were very close.
After hearing this, Father Lu revealed a relieved expression. Jiang Yao's biological father and grandmother were already in trouble. If her biological mother's side was still a mess, Jiang Yao would probably have a lot of trouble in the future.
Cheng Kam Nian's answer immediately attracted Father Lu's attention. Father Lu also asked some questions about Jiang Yao's biological mother. Just like that, everyone at the table began to talk.
Of course, everyone except for Jiang Yao, who was holding her bowl.
