Chapter 1283: Family Banquet or a Hongmen Banquet

what Qiao Dexiang said, Song Yien would definitely slander her like this. 。Joe Hsiang must have stopped her from contacting Joe Tzu-Hsien because of this. 。"Song Yi-eun is really unchanging, no matte..."Mom, please don't do that" 。Even though we broke up, we're still friends. It's no big deal that we go out to eat together after the breakup. 。Mom, when I'm better, you can visit Aunt Grandma. It's okay if you don't come back. 。But seeing that I'm sick today, let's just have a meal together. 。“Although Ban Yue was a little disappointed, she didn't give up. 。She used her illness to convince her mother, and she used her mother's compassion to make tonight's dinner happen. 。"...Half moon..." "Mommy, Half Moon is still sick. You just have to follow her lead." 。Qin Jingwen still wanted to find an excuse for herself, but Qiao Zixuan, who had been silent all this time, spoke up and interrupted her mother's words. 。He knew his mother was struggling, and he knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between his parents. 。But he still stood on Half Moon's side, just feeling sorry for her illness and wanting to fulfill her little wish. 。"Well... okay then" 。Qin Jingwen agreed, but how difficult it was for her, the child couldn't feel, and how unwilling she was, the child couldn't understand. 。But if you agree, then you have to follow through. You can't let your own unwillingness affect the child's mood. 。Joe Shunchen drove back to pick up Qin Jingwen and her son. 。On the way to the restaurant, Ban Yue was always the one who kept the car's atmosphere lively. She was the middle person, sometimes being playful with her father and sometimes chatting with her mother. Throughout the whole journey, Qin Jing and Qiao Shun Chen didn't exchange a single word. 。Qiao Shunchen's pre-arranged restaurant was Lao Zhenghao's hot pot restaurant, which Qin Jingwen hadn't expected before. 。Fortunately, Luo Zhenghao was not in the store at this moment. 。The four of them arrived at the private room that Qiao Shunchen had reserved. As Qin Jingwen pushed open the door, she discovered that Qiao Yu and Jiang Kai were already inside. 。The moment she saw Qiao Yu, she momentarily forgot about his previous attitude towards her. All that remained in her mind was their past close relationship, where they were like sisters, sharing everything. 。Just as Qin Jingwen unconsciously smiled and was about to greet him, Qiao Yu's eyes revealed disgust, hatred, even a haze. 。Qin Jingwen almost immediately woke up, realizing that the sisterly relationship was over. Now, Qiao Yu and Qiao Shunchen hated her just like they did before. 。Qin Jingwen's initially warm heart fell into an ice cave in an instant, and the feeling of being frozen was something she had never experienced before. 。She had no mood to greet him, but she turned her head and glared at Qiao Shunchen with hatred. 。Joe Shunchen knew his sister treated her too harshly, knowing that the two would feel inexplicably awkward when they met. He deliberately arranged this meeting with Joe Shunchen, it was clearly a means to torment Qin Jingwen. 。And Joe Shun-chen, after exchanging glances with Qin Jingwen, averted his gaze and went into the private room alone. 。"Auntie, Uncle, good. " 。Two children greeted each other first, and then walked in. 。 Hello, my little cutie 。Your uncle misses you all. 。" Jiang Kai's reaction was more enthusiastic, while Qiao Yu's was just average. 。Her discontent towards Qin Jingwen was clearly transferred onto her child. 。"Come in, Wenwen, and sit down. Dinner will be ready soon." 。“

Jiang Kai still greeted Qin Jingwen, and Jiang Kai stood up to call out to Qin Jingwen.

" 。At this point, Qin Jingwen was very angry but also at a loss. No matter how Qiao Yu treated her, after all, things hadn't been made clear, and Jiang Kai remained as kind to her as ever. 。At this point, if she turned and left, they might think she was the one causing trouble. 。Since everyone is being vague, Qiao Yu can sit at the same table with her to eat, there's nothing Qin Jingwen can't do. 。“Thank you, brother-in-law” 。I didn't know you were coming, I wasn't prepared at all. 。" Qin Jingwen responded and then walked in, and this sentence also served as a greeting to Qiao Yu. " 。On Qiao Yu's left is Jiang Kai, and on her right is Qiao Shunchen. 。Jiang Kai's left is two children. 。Two children and Joe Shunchen had three positions between them, and Qin Jingwen chose one in the middle. 。stay away from Qiao Shunchen, and do not get close to the child. 。Only after Qin Jingwen sat down did she feel a sense of isolation. 。Or maybe it's like being a prisoner sitting alone, waiting to be interrogated by the Qiao siblings. 。Qin Jingwen inwardly scoffed at herself, wondering if today was a family dinner or a Hongmen Banquet, and even more so, what the final outcome of this meal would be. 。"I just placed my order, but I didn't know Wenwen and the child were coming, so I didn't order that much. " 。What does Winnie and the child like to eat, let's order some. 。"

Jiang Kai was talking and waving to the waiter when Qin Jingwen interrupted him 。"Brother-in-law, just eat whatever there is. If it's not enough, we can order more." 。Qin Jingwen stopped Jiang Kai, not because she had any other intentions, but simply because she wasn't in the mood to eat. Ordering any amount of food would be a waste. 。Qin Jingwen also heard a piece of information in Jiang Kai's words: Qiao Shunchen did not tell her that Qiao Yu would come, and he did not tell Qiao Yu that she would come. 。If Qiao Yu knew she was coming, she definitely wouldn't be sitting here. 。Even knowing that if her child begged, she wouldn't come. 。 ”It’s good too. “ 。Then the waiter will serve us. 。"

Jiang Kai listened to Qin Jingwen's opinion, but the atmosphere at this time made him very embarrassed. 。Under the table, I had reminded Qiao Yu several times with my hand, but Qiao Yu still wouldn't speak. 。Dinner began in an awkward atmosphere like that. Qin Jingwen only ate a little vegetables, and the rest of the time was spent taking care of the child. 。"Mom, you should eat some too. You haven't had anything." 。After a while of having the meal, Qiao Zixuan saw that her mother hadn't eaten anything nutritious, so she spoke up to take care of her mother. 。"Mommy has eaten, you should eat more." 。"Qin Jingwen responded, from the beginning to now, only Qiao Zixuan who understood her cared about her. It seems that she hasn't been isolated, at least her son thoughtfully thinks of her." 。After Qin Jingwen finished speaking, Qiao Zixuan took his own cutlery and sat beside Qin Jingwen. Then he picked up the ordering device next to him and started ordering. 。"Xuanxuan, is there anything you want to eat"Qin Jingwen asked Qiao Zixuan after seeing this. 。"This is for Mom, none of these are things Mom likes to eat" 。Joe Hsu's answer was unreserved and seemed rather deliberate. 。"Mom can eat anything, if there's too much and it can't be finished, it'll be wasted." 。Qin Jingwen never expected Qiao Zixuan to be ordering food for her. 。While it's heartwarming, I also have to remind the child to be thrifty. 。Others don't waste it, and mom doesn't waste it either. 。If the previous sentence was a bit deliberate, Qiao Zixuan's statement is even more targeted. 。"Xuan Xuan is such a warm-hearted guy, he knows how to take care of Mom." 。Your mom likes what, order a little bit more. You guys like what, order a little bit more too. 。Today, my uncle is treating us, you guys can eat whatever you like. 。As long as you are happy, as long as you are joyful, eat to your heart's content. 。The child's words made Jiang Kai a little embarrassed, but after all, it was a child, and Jiang Kai didn't think too much about it. 。"Thank you, Uncle!" Qiao Zixuan responded without being polite, but his face was serious. 。Qin Jingwen didn't stop her child from ordering, she just accepted the child's thoughtfulness. 。During the wait for the meal, the table was silent again, and no one spoke. 。After Qiao Zixuan finished ordering for his mother, he began taking care of her again. 。"These are all your favorites, be sure to eat more." 。"Okay, I will eat more. " 。Qin Jingwen accepted Qiao Zixuan's concern with a warm heart, but she didn't expect that Qiao Zixuan's concern was purposeful. 。"Auntie, you don't seem very happy today" 。"Could it be because my uncle said he'd treat us" Jozi Xuan brewed, paved the way for a long time, and finally pointed the finger at Qiao Yu 。 Qiao Yu was startled by Qiao Zi Xuan's sudden words, looking at him in disbelief. 。This is also the first time Qiao Yu has looked at Qiao Zixuan directly since the start of the meal. 。His eyes were full of protectiveness, a firm belief in protecting his mother. 。"Auntie, don't worry about buying today's groceries. I'll buy them, Auntie." 。" Qiao Zixuan spoke with a nonchalant air, not giving Qiao Yu any chance to speak. However, in those sharp eyes was a myriad of discontent directed at his aunt. " 。"Xuanxuan is such a jokester, how could Auntie possibly be upset over just one meal" 。Your uncle has already said he's going to pay the bill, so just don't argue with him, okay 。Jiang Kai quickly spoke up to help Qiao Yu ease the awkwardness. This time, he saw why Qiao Zixuan had been so concerned about his mother before. It was because of his resentment towards Qiao Yu, a way to resist her. 。"Alright, Xuanxuan, this time let's give Uncle a chance to treat us. You can save your money and next time you can treat both Auntie and Uncle." 。Qin Jingwen also quickly followed the atmosphere. She didn't know Qiao Zixuan's intention until the moment he turned his spear towards Qiao Yu. 。No matter what happens, no matter how Qiao Yu treats the two children, Qin Jingwen doesn't want the two children to get involved in adult affairs. 。But what she didn't expect was still to come, she hadn't expected Qiao Zixuan to not take her reminder to heart at all and continue following Jiang Kai's words 。"But Aunt, she doesn't seem happy at all." 。"Before we entered, Aunt and Uncle must have been laughing and joking. The moment we opened the door, Aunt's smile froze..." "Xuanxuan..."Qin Jingwen saw that Qiao Zixuan was out of control, so she quickly interrupted him. 。But Qiao Zixuan was determined to protect his mother, so he had to make his aunt understand that she couldn't treat her casually. 。"Mom, your things are all cooked. Eat more." 。After stopping his mother's words, Qiao Zixuan continued to say... 。"After seeing us, Aunt’s smile froze. Then she looked at Mom with disgust. She even ignored us when we greeted her." 。Oh... I understand, Auntie is unhappy because she saw us. Auntie doesn't like Mom and that means she doesn't like me or Half-Moon either. 。"Oh... I remembered something else. My aunt acted the same way towards Mom last time at Grandpa's house. So it seems my aunt has disliked us since then." 。Joe Xuan finished his words, his questioning eyes fixed on Qiao Yu. 。 Her aunt's attitude had changed since the last time they met. Qiao Zixuan had noticed it, but he thought he was overthinking things. He thought his aunt was just having a bad day and it wasn't directed at her mother. 。But today, auntie is still like this. Then, auntie's attitude isn't just simple anymore, it's deliberately targeting mom. 。He doesn't allow anyone to hurt Mom, and he doesn't allow anyone to bully Mom, not even his aunt. 。 Qiao Zixuan's words left everyone speechless, especially Qiao Yu. She never expected that she would be rendered speechless by a child's words. 。"Xuan Xuan, you're overthinking it. Your aunt didn't mean anything by it." 。 If it weren't for me, your beloved wouldn't have...Qin Lan couldn't continue. Thinking about how their so-called love had led to the death of a young and vibrant life, she realized that all her griev...
