Jiang Ye had just come from the kitchen, likely having overheard the conversation between his mother and wife, and said with a smile,
"You get along pretty well with my mom, huh?"
Given that none of his comrades had such a harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship,
he couldn’t help but tease a little.
Lu Jing rolled her eyes, thankful that she had already hung up the phone:
"What? Do you have a problem?"
With you two getting along, I can live comfortably too.
Otherwise, being stuck in the middle like a sandwich cookie is just too unbearable.
This kind of situation is all too common, a bunch of tough men, who aren’t afraid of hardship, fatigue, or even bleeding and sacrifice on the training field, yet nearly break down when facing their family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relations.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ye couldn’t help but feel grateful for his wife and his own mom, both sensible ladies who didn’t make a fuss.
Lu Jing hummed in response:
"I’ll charge my phone and be right there."
The cellphone was about to die.
"Alright, I’ll go serve the dishes."
Such days are truly comforting.
Simple, plain, no grandieur, just the two of them, their love enduring.
As they were almost done eating, Lu Jing’s phone in the study started ringing.
He immediately put down his utensils:
"Keep eating, I’ll go get it."
Lu Jing naturally stayed put and continued eating her food.
Jiang Ye’s long legs covered the distance back and forth in less than ten seconds.
The phone was still ringing as Lu Jing picked it up and quickly answered:
It had been several months without any news from this guy.
Suddenly receiving a call was indeed surprising.
Miss Dai wasn’t quite so self-aware:
"What’s up, Doctor Lu?"
Lu Jing curled the corner of his mouth:
"Do you even have to ask? Shouldn’t you be the one explaining your whereabouts these past few months?" The source of thɪs content is novel[f]ire.net
Thankfully, even with months apart, the friendship between the two women wasn’t affected.
"Oh my, I had to hide from someone."
"Who? Don’t tell me it was Xiang Zheng?"
"No, it’s my family. I don’t know who leaked the information; they’ve been frantically searching for me. I almost hid in Siberia."
Hmm, in Siberia she could have spent her days with bears; who’d eat whom in the end?
But Lu Jing wasn’t fooled:
"Did you do something? I’ve never seen your family so persistent before."
With that, Miss Dai on the other end of the line laughed mischievously, clearly hit the mark.
"That, that, let’s talk more when I get back. I’m about to go through security."
What could Lu Jing say?
"Okay then, by the way, why hasn’t Yaoyao been going to school these days? They said she took a leave?"
As Yaoyao’s mother, Miss Dai certainly knew:
"It’s fine, she’s with her dad."
"Xiang Zheng is back in the country?"
That was news to Lu Jing.
So does that mean, the issues with the Xiang Family in the US had been settled?
Otherwise, Xiang Zheng wouldn’t have been able to return to the country.
That’s good, Little Yaoyao spending some time with her dad to foster their relationship, otherwise, the father-daughter duo is too estranged.
After all, isn’t Miss Dai herself the main culprit for this situation?
This girl is utterly lawless, doing whatever she wants, and no one can manage her.
Moreover, Xiang Zheng spoils her, indulges her.
And there it is, turning a puppy’s guts into a bear’s.
