At 6 o'clock in the evening, Li Heming drove to pick up his wife, children and two mothers to go to the Li family's old house for dinner.
On the way, Qin Se looked at the two mothers and the two children sitting in the back through the rearview mirror. Mother Zeng He and the two little cuties had smiles on their faces, while Li's mother Ruan Ying seemed a little absent-minded.
After coming out, she really didn't want to go to the Li family or have anything to do with the Li family anymore.
Qin Se felt a little awkward, wondering if she shouldn't let Aunt Ruan go with them...
Li Heming was very keenly aware of her awkwardness, stretched out a big hand to touch her head, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Qin Se came back to his senses and shook his head, "It's nothing. You stop the car at the mall in front and we'll buy some gifts for my grandparents, Uncle Li and Aunt Lan. After all, this is my first official visit."
Li Heming rubbed her hair lovingly, "Don't worry, I have already sent someone to buy the gifts, and they are all in the trunk."
Qin Se was startled, then smiled at him, "Well, you have some foresight!"
…
When they arrived at the Li family's old house, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li were very happy. They hadn't seen their great-grandchildren for a long time. The two elders hugged the two little ones and kept getting intimate.
Li Heming took Qin Se's hand, took her to Master Li and Mrs. Li Lanzhen, and introduced her solemnly.
Mr. Li was relatively restrained. He smiled and nodded. He cared about her and the child for a few words and then said nothing.
Mrs. Li Lan Zhen, on the other hand, seemed very enthusiastic. She took Qin Se's hand and praised her beauty and cuteness. They chatted endlessly...
Because of what happened last time, Qin Se had a grudge against Lan Zhen and didn't like her, so he got away with the excuse of wanting to go to the bathroom.
She exchanged a look with Li Heming and signaled him to take care of the two mothers. After getting his nod of understanding, she turned and went to the bathroom. As she walked, she felt that Lan Zhen's enthusiasm for her was abnormal...
Lan Zhen is not Li Heming's biological mother. She treats Li Heming with a sense of distance. There are factors of fear, fear, and lack of affection. But she is as warm as a mother-in-law to her, the step daughter-in-law?
So strange...
After washing his hands and absentmindedly coming out of the bathroom, Qin Se was suddenly blocked by a tall figure...
She stopped and looked up, and a familiar handsome face came into view. It was Li Heming's half-brother Li Chenyu!
There was a bit of a dandy smile on Li Chenyu's face, "Miss Qin, it's been a long time since we last met!"
Qin Se looked at Li Chenyu indifferently, knowing that he came with bad intentions, and chuckled: "Second Young Master Li, I think you should call me sister or sister-in-law now, it would be more appropriate!"
Li Chenyu said in displeasure, "I'm older than you, why should I call you sister!"
Qin Se said: "Then call me sister-in-law!"
There was a hint of sarcasm in Li Chenyu's eyes, "What's the point of following that cold and boring man Li Heming! Why not stay with me and you can become the daughter-in-law of the Li family, right?"
Qin Se's expression remained unchanged, "Of course it's different! Your brother and I already have two children."
Li Chenyu snorted, "I don't care! Anyway, they are the offspring of our Li family, just leave them to the grandparents to raise! As long as you follow me, I promise to ignore the past grudges and treat you better than Li Heming treats you!"
Qin Se raised his eyebrows, "What, you want to use me to compete with your brother?"
Li Chenyu said affectionately: "Qin Se, I like you. I liked you five years ago. It's a pity that you disappeared before I had time to chase you!"
