31: Chapter 31 Her Attitude 5_1 31: Chapter 31 Her Attitude 5_1 While talking to He Hongmei and her daughter, He Zhilan occasionally glanced at He Teng.
He Teng didn’t talk much.
Most of the time, it was Liang Tao who asked him questions, and he would give answers, then sometimes follow up with a few words on Liang Tao’s topic.
Every time He Teng opened his mouth to speak, He Zhilan would unconsciously glance at him and covertly listen to what he was saying, while also able to smoothly continue the conversation with He Hongmei.
The lunch lasted for more than two hours.
He Zhilan took the initiative to help He Hongmei clean up, and He Hongmei happily agreed.
She then helped a slightly tipsy Liang Tao back to their room, muttering about his poor drinking tolerance, yet still wanting to drink with He Teng all the time.
Although Liang Tao staggered as he moved, his mind was still clear.
Listening to He Hongmei’s muttered complaints, he chuckled and leaned all his weight on her, feeling a sort of joy from his successful prank at seeing He Hongmei’s exasperated look.
People often say about old husbands and wives, yet sometimes Liang Tao acted like a child.
Once inside the room, He Hongmei tossed Liang Tao onto the bed, saying with a laugh, “You’re faking, pretending I don’t know your alcohol tolerance!”
“How little you know, your man can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk!
Let me tell you, if you hadn’t married me, I would’ve certainly joined the army.
How cool would being a soldier be!
Look at He Teng, now there’s a real man!” This was an old story, and it was also why Liang Tao was so good to his nephew, He Teng.
“If you had really joined the army back then, I might be someone else’s wife now!” He Hongmei laughed, then playfully shoved the cheeky Liang Tao and said, “Did you notice it?
Zhilan has really changed quite a bit.
This child has truly grown up.
I’ve always said, once a woman gets married, she will get her heart in the right place.
It seems she genuinely wants to live a good life with He Teng.”
“Women are as unpredictable as the sea, who knows?
Aren’t you too capable of laughing with me at one moment, and turning your face at the next?
What does your daughter usually call you?
Going through menopause, right?”
I’m trying to talk to you about something serious!” He Hongmei rolled her eyes in irritation.
“While we were eating, I was watching Zhilan the whole time.
Whenever He Teng speaks, Zhilan would steal glances at him.
Once HeTeng finishes, she would revert her gaze.
And when HeTeng starts speaking again, she would look over again.
They really do act like a lovey-dovey couple.
Zhilan has been causing trouble in our family for over a decade, I really hope she settles down to live peacefully with He Teng.
I truly don’t want to see her turn into an ingrate, never to return to the He family once she goes off to university.”
“What good does watching her do?
Your elder brother dotes on Zhilan so much, don’t you see?.
He doesn’t object to sending Zhilan to university, neither does He Teng.
Furthermore, it was He Teng who borrowed the money for it.
You can’t say that you won’t allow Zhilan to go to university because of these worries, yes?
So, you should stop worrying.
Let the children walk their own paths, as long as we know we have done our best!”
Even though Zhilan was kidnapped and brought here, our family never once mistreated her.
My elder brother dotes on her even more than he does on Dongxue.” Upon hearing this, He Hongmei nodded in agreement, putting these thoughts aside.
