He Hong nodded. “Your father knows how to make chestnut chicken. It’s very delicious. I used to like his cooking the most, so he went to buy ingredients today.”
Hearing He Hongs words, Lu Zhen was silent for two seconds before revealing a faint smile. “Then I can try it too.”
“You’re a celebrity, so you have to control your weight. That’s why your father didn’t cook the dishes he’s good at. I don’t care. I’ve been gluttonous since I was young.” He Hong laughed heartily.
He Hongs words and attitude looked fine, but for some reason, Lu Zhen was not too happy.
At noon, Jiang Fei made chestnut chicken and old-fashioned red braised pork. These two dishes should have been made for He Hong. The other dishes on the dining table were Lu Zhen’s favorite dishes. They were lighter.
He Hong ate the meat in big mouthfuls and revealed an expression of enjoyment and reminiscence. “It’s still the same taste from back then. When I was overseas, I could even dream of this taste.’
“It’s not that exaggerated. Besides, who asked you to stay overseas and not come back? If you come back, you can come to my house if you want to eat. I can make it for you,” Jiang Fei said gently.
After dinner, He Hong asked Lu Zhen out to shop. Lu Zhen found an excuse to decline.
“Could it be that she has an appointment with her boyfriend?” He Hong blinked ambiguously and looked at Jiang Fei. “In a few years, Ningning will get married and have children. Time really flies. She was such a small baby back then, but she’s already so big.”
After chatting for a while, He Hong said that she wanted to see the two newly opened houses. Jiang Fei changed his clothes and went out to look at the houses with He Hong.
Lu Zhen returned to her room and sat on the bed. The discomfort in her heart could not be dispelled. Why couldn’t she have a good impression of He Hong?
He Hong clearly did not say anything to offend her and her attitude towards her was not bad, but Lu Zhen seemed to have a layer of malicious filter on her. She always understood He Hong’s words in a bad way. She felt suffocated, but she did not know who to tell.
If she told Song Jia, he would definitely listen patiently, but Lu Zhen felt that he might not understand why she felt this way. After thinking for a moment, Lu Zhen sent a message to Jiang Nan. “Aunt, are you there?”
Lu Zhen had added Jiang Nan’s contact information, but Jiang Nan did not seem to use social chat software much. Her profile picture and ID were all by default, and there was not a single post on her WeChat Moments.
To Lu Zhen’s surprise, Jiang Nan quickly replied, “What’s wrong?”
Lu Zhen leaned on the sofa and asked, “Do you know He Hong?”
“You saw her, didn’t you? Did you hate her?” Lu Zhen was stunned and sat up from the sofa. “Aunt, how did you know?” “l don’t like her either,” Jiang Nan said bluntly.
“Why? 1 thought it was my own problem. After all, she didn’t do anything to offend me.’
“Because you felt that she didn’t like you. She was pretending in front of you, so you naturally didn’t like her.” Jiang Nan immediately hit the nail on the head.
Only then did Lu Zhen realize that her intuition had realized that He Hong did not really like her.
“Then do you know her? What kind of person is she?” Lu Zhen asked again.
“l don’t know. Before I went overseas, she was still young. When she saw me, she would politely call me ‘Big Sister’. She had a good relationship with Jiang Fei. She pestered Jiang Fei all day. Even when she was in high school, she insisted on going to the high school Jiang Fei used to go to. After that, I didn’t see her much. If you hadn’t mentioned her, I wouldn’t have thought of her.”
Jiang Nan probably felt that typing was more troublesome, so he changed to sending voice messages. As Lu Zhen listened to Jiang Nan’s indifferent narration, a ridiculous thought suddenly appeared in her mind. She bit her lip and asked carefully, “Then will she like my father?”
Jiang Nan was silent for a few seconds before replying, “It’s possible, but it’s impossible for them to be together.”
“Why?” Lu Zhen was puzzled.
“l can’t say that I know your father very well, but it’s obvious that he’s never had any feelings for He Hong that exceed that of siblings. Even if he hadn’t met your mother, he wouldn’t have liked He Hong. In addition, the Jiang family’s rules are strict. The two of them are siblings, and the elders in the family won’t allow them to be together..”
