Today, there is a family banquet at the Lu Family’s. Originally, the banquet should have been hosted at the Li Family’s, but considering the old patriarch’s health, it was eventually decided to have it at the Lu Family’s.
The Li Family and the Lu Family are all gathered around the table to welcome Li Wanyu, who has just returned from the United States.
Li Weihuan has temporarily left the hospital to meet his aunt. He is happy at heart. During his one and a half year in the United States, his aunt visited him several times and took good care of him.
He once told his aunt about his girlfriend who is beautiful and innocent. He loves her so much and plans to marry her in the future!
Back then, his aunt said, if there is a chance, bring her over to meet me! He answered with a smile, sure!
But he never thought that when he saw his aunt again, the woman he loved had become his second aunt. Ironic, isn’t it? A bit.
It’s tough, and he also doesn’t want to tell his aunt about it. But it seems like she already knows. That’s right, given his uncle’s capabilities, getting things done to his advantage is not a difficult thing to do!
Lu Yinchu hasn’t returned, which took Qi Qun by surprise. Today is unlike ordinary days. The old patriarch is here, Li Wanyu is also here, even Lu Wenming called to send his regards while Lu Yinchu remained absent.
Li Wanyu laughed and explained, "Blame me for this, the date I chose to return to China wasn’t very good. Yinchu left on a business trip yesterday, he couldn’t rush back from out of town. Next time I come back, I will notify him a week in advance by phone, let’s see where he runs off to then!"
Qi Qun furrowed her brows, wanting to taunt a few words, but couldn’t because the old man was around and it wouldn’t be appropriate to make a scene.
Li Weihuan, who was sitting next to her, had been silent all along. Li Wanyu occasionally glanced at him. They haven’t seen each other for a while, and this nephew of hers seemed to have changed a lot.
It seemed he is deeply attached to the girl, Nanxi.
After dinner, Li Wanyu and the younger generation kept the old man company and chatted for a while. Only after the old man went to rest did everyone leave.
Li Weihuan needed to go back to the hospital, Li Wanyu offered to drive him there. Li Weihuan didn’t refuse. Compared to his two sisters driving him, he preferred his aunt. His aunt has always been good to him since he was a child and at least she wasn’t always lecturing him!
Throughout the car ride, Li Weihuan was silent. Seeing Li Weihuan in a daze, Li Wanyu lit up a cigarette to smoke.
Women smoking is always different from men. Li Weihuan knew that his aunt picked up her smoking habit after her divorce. It seems like everyone who smokes definitely has a sad reason for it, a process full of restlessness!
And him? How did he pick up his habit? It’s hard to say!
"Weihuan, I met your uncle before and that girl too!" Li Wanyu suddenly spoke.
Li Weihuan was taken aback for a moment, his eyelashes trembling slightly, but he remained silent.
"She’s a very beautiful and pure girl..." Li Wanyu paused, then laughingly continued, "I suddenly understand why both you and Yinchu fell for her."
"She’s wonderful, just looking at her makes one feel warm. Her smile is pure, natural, and sincere. When you talk, no matter what you say, whether she is interested or not, whether she understands or not, she listens carefully and never interrupts you. Her voice is pleasing, her eyes are beautiful, and when she laughs, her eyes squint into crescent moon shapes, inevitably making one stop and gaze at her, she..."
"You don’t need to say more!"
Li Weihuan interrupted her, "Aunt, you don’t need to tell me how good she is because I know, better than anyone else, I know!"
Li Weihuan reached out to rub his forehead, a hint of pain flashed in his eyes and his eyes turned slightly red.
Seeing this, Li Wanyu sighed, "Weihuan, I understand your pain. To tell the truth, if Nanxi was in love with you, I would Visit NovelHub for more amazing novels and chapters... But today, I could see that she’s very fond of your uncle. The way she looks at your uncle, the trace of dependence she shows in her gestures, she’s not fooling anyone... As a person who’s been through it all, I feel a bit envious when I see them. I even began to fantasize about love..."
She turned her head and looked at the stiff expression on Li Weihuan’s face and then asked, "Weihuan, when you were with Nanxi, what was the understanding between you two like? Imagine it... what details prove that you two truly loved each other..."
Li Weihuan didn’t reply.
"Weihuan, you are only twenty-five, life is still long. There are many things that you might think you’ll never forget in your lifetime, but often, the more you stress on not wanting to forget something, the quicker you forget. People are selfish, it’s just a matter of degree..."
