Seeing that his hand was getting closer and closer to her, Lu Xining nervously and subconsciously avoided it, but his back was pressed against the back of the seat, leaving him with nowhere to escape.
However, what was surprising was that Jin Shaoheng's hand only fell on her collar and helped her fasten the buttons.
Although he was a little embarrassed, Lu Xining still had a cold face. Jin Shaoheng didn't say anything and just drove out.
Neither of them spoke a word the whole way, and the car parked in silence at the Jin family's old house. Not only that, there were also several cars parked in the yard.
Lu Xining felt slightly surprised.
Jin Shaoheng had unbuckled his seat belt and warned: "Today is the anniversary of my grandfather's death. Don't let mom see anything."
Lu Xining quickly took out her phone and looked at the date, and found that it was indeed the death anniversary of Grandpa Jin Shaoheng, and she had completely forgotten it.
In fact, Lu Xining has never met Grandpa Jin, but because Jin Shaoheng can be said to have been brought up by him, Jin Shaoheng respects him very much, so she also loves the house and the house. In previous years, she would come a few days in advance to help prepare for this day.
Because a lot of things happened this year, including her brother's surgery, she had completely forgotten about it.
No wonder he didn't stay with Lin Qingyue in the nursing home, but ran over to look for her instead. As a granddaughter-in-law, she should come forward in these days.
When she came back to her senses, she found that Jin Shaoheng was still standing by the car, and she realized that she was waiting for him.
Can you die by saying something?
Lu Xining thought with disgust, then unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.
Today, there are other relatives of the Jin family here, so she is still very skilled in acting. She only needs to follow him and pretend to be good.
Unexpectedly, after taking only two steps, Jin Shaoheng suddenly held her hand. Lu Xining was stunned for a moment because this move was so unexpected.
But without a word of explanation, he led her and continued walking into the house.
Of course Lu Xining was repulsive, but she couldn't struggle at all until she entered the door. She was afraid that Zhang Tingyu would see something, so she compromised.
"Shaoheng is back."
As soon as the two entered the door, all the relatives turned their eyes towards him. Even though some of them were elders, they were all very attentive and eager to him.
Who made him the head of the Jin family now?
"Why so late?" Zhang Tingyu calmly glanced at the hands held by the two of them and asked.
"My company has something to do temporarily, Xining is waiting for me." Jin Shaoheng replied.
This was also the first time that the word Xining came out of his mouth. He used to call Lu Xining by both his first and last name.
There is no sarcasm, no indifference, no anger, etc. It is the first time that he is called so intimately, giving people the illusion of gentleness.
Lu Xining sneered inwardly.
Something strange appeared in Jin Shaoheng's mind, but he didn't show it.
Zhang Tingyu was also very happy to see that he took the responsibility on herself, and said: "I will give the elders a cup of apology later."
"Yes." Jin Shaoheng responded.
"No, no, no, Shaoheng is busy with business, we all understand, there's no way to argue." Immediately, an elder jumped out and said.
"Let's have dinner." Zhang Tingyu ordered.
A group of people got up one after another and prepared to go to the restaurant.
"Mom." Lu Xining shouted and took the opportunity to come to Zhang Tingyu's side.
In this case, Jin Shaoheng had to let go of her hand, and naturally no one else could see anything.
Lu Xining saw that although she was wearing makeup, her face was extremely poor, and her body felt light even when she was sitting in a wheelchair.
Can't walk anymore?
Questions flashed through Lu Xining's mind, suspecting that her condition had deteriorated significantly. She also thought that she had not visited her because she was in a mood during this period, and she felt even more guilty.
"Mom, I'm sorry, today..." In previous years, she helped Zhang Luo, but this year, when her health was even worse, she didn't care.
"Shaoheng told me that your brother's matter is equally important." Zhang Tingyu patted her hand to show her understanding.
Lu Xining was a little surprised that Jin Shaoheng actually explained it to her in advance. But then he thought about it, of course he had to explain it to him in front of his mother-in-law, so that her mother-in-law could feel at ease, right?
I originally wanted to ask about her condition, but it was obviously not the right time. After arriving at the restaurant, Lu Xining placed her at the main seat.
Next is Jin Shaoheng, next to her is her seat.
Lu Xining pulled out the chair, but before he could sit in, a young girl overran him: "Cousin, I want to sit next to my cousin, do you mind?"
Although she smiled innocently, Lu Xining still felt a bit malicious.
"I don't mind." Lu Xining was calm. She didn't want to sit with Jin Shaoheng anyway.
But before she could move, her arm was held, and Jin Shaoheng said two words to his cousin: "Get out of the way."
Although his tone didn't sound angry, it didn't allow for irritation.
To be honest, his cousin was still very afraid of him, and the reason why he dared to bully Lu Xining was because he knew that Jin Shaoheng didn't want to see her.
But what is happening now?
"Xiaoya, why don't you come here quickly? What trouble will you cause if you go to your cousin's house?" Auntie pretended to teach her a lesson.
"Oh." Liu Qiya borrowed the donkey from the slope and sat back quickly.
"The child is ignorant, Xining, don't argue with her." Although the aunt's words seemed like an apology, she didn't seem sincere.
Thanks to Jin Shaoheng, none of these relatives actually took her seriously.
Lu Xining was used to it and smiled politely.
Zhang Tingyu's health was really bad. She didn't eat much and left the table without sitting for a while. Moreover, she also saw her attending doctor staying at home.
An unpleasant feeling flashed through her heart. She was supposed to be with her, but she was still left behind.
Relatives in wealthy families have interests at stake. In fact, there is not much family affection at all, and these people do not really care about Zhang Tingyu. The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became lively, except for Lu Xining who was absent-minded.
Liu Qianya's eyes kept rolling, because Lu Xining had just made her so embarrassed, so she wanted to find an opportunity to bully her, so that she could feel balanced.
"Cousin, why didn't I see you during the daytime worship service? I've only been married for two years, right? Isn't it okay for you to be like this?" If he didn't find an opportunity, he started to run against Lu Xining. After speaking, he added: "My aunt is not here, how about you
Just toast my mother with a glass of wine? Just take it as an apology."
In fact, she had made sure that Zhang Tingyu was not around, no one was supporting Lu Xining, and Jin Shaoheng was just putting on a show for Zhang Tingyu.
"I'm not feeling well and can't drink." Lu Xining refused.
"Come on, we still know how drunk my cousin is. Don't you want to give my mother this face?" Liu Qiya was still angry and unwilling to give up.
"Xining, it's appropriate to toast your elders with a glass of wine at the wine table."
"That's right, be sensible."
The Zhang family on Jin Shaoheng's grandmother's side also began to lend their support.
"What are you pretending to be? It's not like I've never seen you drink before." Seeing that Lu Xining didn't respond, someone quickly showed an impatient expression on his face.
Lu Xining remained unmoved. She had already had enough of dealing with this group of Jin family relatives.
Liu Qianya picked up the wine glass and said, "Don't be so shameless!" She pretended to pour it into her.
Not wanting Jin Shaoheng to grab the cup of tea, he fell to the ground in front of his aunt like he was paying homage to the deceased.
"Shaoheng, what are you doing?" He was so disrespectful.
"My wife did not go to my grandpa's grave today to pay her respects. I have already told him privately. Besides, even if I have to apologize, I must apologize to my grandpa. Of course, I should respect my ancestors." Does this mean that she can apologize to her?
After Jin Shaoheng finished speaking, he put the wine glass on the table. Everyone who was still watching the show was now so frightened that they all fell silent.
