Sedimentation (3)

he wouldn't know his limits, so she had to add another sentence.Rong Ling's hand tightened, fiercely gripping her slender waist!This woman!His heart skipped a beat, what should he say to her He had...He immediately raised his other hand, which held two bottles of 30-year-aged Moutai!

Although he couldn't let out a relaxed laugh, he still managed to be kind. (..tw no pop-up ads)

He handed out two bottles of Moutai.

"Enjoying crabs and chrysanthemums, how can we do without good wine!"

Rong Ling calmly took the Maotai from him and nodded at Jiang Chengfeng who stood behind Jiang Yichen. Jiang Chengfeng also nodded, while He Wen quickly smiled. Rong Ling then gave a slight nod in acknowledgment.

The three little things standing behind Rong Ling had already received Lin Meng's instructions. At this time, Qiqi spoke first.

"Grandpa Jiang, Uncle Dajie, and Auntie!"

Jiang Chengfeng and Youyou were very close, Rong Hengduo had met them before. Hearing the greetings, he just smiled. It was only because his father and Rong Ling were there that he seemed more restrained and didn't do anything else. He Wen hurried over two steps and took out the gift she was holding.

One by one, they were given to three little children.

"Aunt came over more urgently, so this gift is prepared right now. I hope you like it!"

San Xiao received the toy and naturally thanked politely. "Thank you, aunt!"

He Wen smiled and stepped aside. She had prepared three gifts, which showed she had done her homework beforehand. The three gifts looked quite similar, but still hinted at her thoughtfulness. Although it seemed like a coincidence that she had come this time, it was clear she had put some effort into it.

Rong Ling instructed the three young ones to inform Lin Meng and Jiang's mother that Jiang Yancheng and the others had arrived, so they could prepare to steam crabs.

Three little ones responded with a "Yes" and hurried toward the kitchen.

He Wen hurriedly said, "I'll go take a look too, maybe I can help out!"

This is an expression of striving to integrate oneself.

Rong Ling then instructed the three little ones to lead the way well, and he took Jiang's father and son to sit aside.

He Wen followed the three children into the kitchen. She could hear laughter from afar. After the three children entered the kitchen and loudly reported the arrival of Jiang Yancheng and others, she smiled and walked in.

"Is there anything I can help you with"

All the ingredients were already washed and laid out, ready to be cooked. The crabs were also cleaned and set aside. Since the focus was on eating crab, there weren't many other dishes being prepared.

"So, you come help prepare the seasonings!"

Lin Meng wasn't polite either, and said directly. When Jiang's mother heard this, she immediately let out a sigh of relief and smiled in agreement. "Everything else is almost ready, we just need to prepare the seasonings!"

He Wen, hearing this, went to wash her hands and came over to help. At that time, Aunt Yu started steaming the crabs. The three little ones also wanted to help, but they were persuaded by Lin Meng.

"Mommy will have this done in a bit, Youyou. A few of you go out and keep Daddy company with Grandpa Jiang, Mommy will be there soon."

"Oh."

Little Youyou led Haohao out, while Rong Hengduo silently followed the two little ones. This time when guests came to their house, his uncle and aunt didn't inform him not to come. Although his facial expression was no different from usual, he was secretly delighted inside. Because this meant they didn't treat him as an outsider!

In short, he cherishes every single day now!

With the seasonings ready, Lin Meng, Jiang's mother, and He Wen, along with their cups and plates, waited patiently. They then brought out the seasonings and went outside together. The three of them made another trip afterward to bring all the necessary items over. Meanwhile, the kitchen was completely entrusted to Yu Ma!

After Lin Meng and the other two finally sat down, they began to chat. These were all outstanding individuals; any topic they chose could be discussed endlessly. Jiang Yancheng was relatively taciturn, but he managed to contribute a sentence or two every seven or eight sentences, which was already quite impressive.

After the last crab was brought up, everyone started eating.

Because Jiang Yancheng and the others were guests, Rong Ling got up and poured a glass of white wine for everyone present, offering a toast. Besides Lin Meng who only took a small sip, the rest were all good drinkers and finished their glasses in one go.

As the saying goes, alcohol can be courage-boosting, and this wine can also invigorate circulation. After this glass of wine, the atmosphere definitely became more lively. Jiang Chengfeng stood up and filled his empty glass again. This time, Jiang Yichen toasted. The men still drank it all in one go, while the ladies only took small sips this time. After all, this is 30-year-old Moutai, and if you drink too much, the aftertaste is incredible. Besides, drinking on an empty stomach hurts your stomach, and you can't drink too fast either.

Let's put the wine aside for now, and start eating the hairy crabs. The men chatted amongst themselves, and the women joined in the conversation as well, but all of them kept an eye on the three little ones, lest the hard shell of a crab accidentally injure them.

He had opened up, and the wine was going down unconsciously. A bottle of Moutai was already gone, Jiang Yichen's face was turning red, this was the effect of alcohol. At this point, he had loosened up a bit, and he started talking more.

He suddenly gave Rong Ling a thumbs-up!

Everyone at the table was stunned!

"In my life, Jiang Yichen rarely yields to others, but I yield to you!" He said to Rong Ling, his eyes were full of spirit and not blurred by alcohol, instead they shone even brighter. "Your skills, your abilities, I surrender!"

"Well done!"

Jiang Yichen let out a chuckle. "You still have time to be modest I thought you'd just accept it graciously!"

From this, you can see that he has let go more, and the resentment in his heart has basically faded.

Rong Ling raised his glass and toasted Jiang Yancheng. "I thought you knew I was just being polite!"

Jiang Yichen immediately burst into laughter, then raised his white porcelain wine cup and clinked it heavily with Rong Ling's.

"That's awesome!"

He finished it in one gulp!

Rongling also followed suit and finished everything with a burst of exhilaration!

Jiang Yichen took the Moutai wine and personally poured a cup for Rong Lingman. He then poured himself a full cup as well.

"It's been so long, and I haven't properly thanked you. This glass is to thank you for the huge help you've given our Jiang family! Cheers to you!"

Those in the know all understand what Jiang Yancheng means by "busy." Rong Ling didn't refuse, he slightly raised his cup towards Jiang Yancheng and finished it in one gulp. Then he filled Jiang Yancheng's cup again, and filled his own.

"Our Mengmeng used to be taken care of by your family. Here, I want to say thank you and raise a toast to you!"

Words are hard to explain, yet those in the know understand perfectly!

Jiang Yancheng's eyes reddened slightly, and his hand trembled slightly as he grasped the wine glass. After steadying himself, he firmly raised the full cup of wine and clinked it with Rong Ling, finishing it in one gulp without spilling a drop.

This cup of wine, once drunk, all past events will be completely let go!

At the dinner table, there was a moment of silence. The three children, except for Xiao Youyou who vaguely knew some inside information, didn't quite understand and stopped eating crab, looking at the two adults.

Although Jiang Mu also felt a moment of sadness, because Xiao Youyou existed, most of the hurt inside had already been soothed. So she spoke up and livened the atmosphere.

"Eat crab, eat crab! Today is all about eating crab. You two don't need to be so polite, just enjoy yourselves!"

Lin Meng immediately replied, "Yes, yes, let's eat crab!"

Saying that, he picked up a female crab and put it in Rong Ling's bowl. He then picked up three more, putting one in front of each of the three little ones.

Rong Ling opened the crab shell and scooped out the delicious crab roe, then served it to Lin Meng's bowl. Lin Meng couldn't help but smile, using chopsticks to pick up the crab roe with the seasoning, eating it in small bites. The three little ones also followed suit, each picking out the crab roe and putting it into Lin Meng's bowl, making Lin Meng so happy that he laughed out loud.

"Jiang Mu feigned offense. 'Aiyo, Aiyo, what about grandma Doesn't grandma get a share'"

Little Xiao Youyou went to pick a big one and silently lifted the crab shell, picking out the crab roe and sending it to Jiang Mu's bowl. After putting down her chopsticks, the little kid gave Jiang Mu a small smile. This really delighted Jiang Mu, who wished she could scoop up this precious child and sit him on her lap. Little Xiao Haohuo, although not named, also followed Xiao Youyou's example and sent a portion of crab roe to Jiang Mu, which also made her laugh uncontrollably.

"Very good, very good, all good children, good children, thank you, thank you!"

Chuckling, Jiang's mother also ate with delight. But then, as if thinking of something, she suddenly scooped half the crab roe from her bowl and placed it into Jiang Yancheng's bowl.

"Sigh, you two little ones are so filial, don't blame me for enjoying my good fortune without you!"

Jiang Yancheng was stunned. He stared at the crab roe in his bowl for two seconds before silently eating it, and he ate it clean. Jiang's mother, who noticed this scene, secretly smiled with glee. Lin Meng, on the other hand, smirked inwardly.

Having received a hint, He Wen quietly placed a serving of crab roe into Jiang Chengfeng's bowl. Jiang Chengfeng was taken aback and glanced at He Wen briefly, just in time to see her lowering her face, with a blush on the tip of her ear. It was rare for her to blush given her personality. Watching her, Jiang Chengfeng's eyes flickered before he lowered his head and quietly ate the crab roe.

He Wen's eyes caught a glimpse of him, and there was a hint of joy in her expression, though she blushed even more. Jiang's mother, catching sight of this scene unintentionally, couldn't help but smile to herself. These young people were developing exactly as she had hoped, peacefully and steadily. Though there were no grand gestures or dramatic twists and turns, their family truly couldn't withstand any major upheavals; a calm and steady pace was better for them.

Lin Meng, sitting beside Jiang Mu, felt it. Following her gaze, she understood and smiled faintly before bowing her head to deal with the hairy crabs.

Her index finger was emerald green, slender and pale. She skillfully peeled the shell of the big crab with her tool's help. She quickly separated the crab meat completely from its claws. After finishing one whole crab, she held up a small plate and placed it before Rong Ling, whispering softly.

"Don't worry about drinking, eat more crab meat!"

You give me peaches, I'll give you plums!

She gave Rongling a playful wink!

Feng Ling smiled, accepting it with evident delight!

Although there were guests present, Youyou and Haohuo, the two little ones, did not immediately act spoiled. Instead of pestering Lin Meng, they each broke off a claw from the hairy crab and pushed it toward her. Their expectant eyes spoke volumes.

Lin Meng's mouth curled into a gentle smile, slowly dealing with them one by one and pushing them to the two little ones. The two little ones were delighted, each revealing eight tiny teeth. Turning back, Lin Meng also helped Rong Hengduo peel two large clams, earning a smile from Rong Hengduo. Then Rong Ling spoke up.

"Mengmeng, don't just focus on others, eat some yourself!" This is because someone cares for her and favors her!

She softly hummed in agreement and slowly began to eat.

The men started talking again, mostly because they had already said everything that was on their minds earlier. With nothing left to hold back, the conversation became much more open and unrestrained this time. This excitement drew all three children into the conversation, making them want to join in as well.

Jiang Mu then glanced at the several men, both big and small, smiling. She turned her head to look at Lin Meng, then at He Wen, and said in a low voice.

"Look, he never strays from his old trade. When it comes to this case, he really gets going!"

This is talking about Jiang Yichen!

He Wen just joined in the fun. "That's not true! But I like listening to them talk about cases, it's very interesting. After hearing them, I always have to sigh, there are all kinds of wonders in the world!"

The case that would prompt the Jiang family father and son to specifically bring it up couldn't be ordinary. It must have something special about it, full of suspense or interesting twists.

Lin Meng chuckled. "People always say that reality is more fantastical than fiction, don't they Well, isn't this just the proof"

Three women followed along, listening to whatever was being said. If it wasn't interesting, they would chat among themselves. If something caught their interest, they'd gather around and join the conversation. In the end, a huge basket full of crabs disappeared completely, leaving everyone feeling satisfied and happy!

The women chuckled and put the table away, while the men continued chatting. Looking back, everyone rinsed their mouths and washed their hands. Mother Jiang remained seated, chatting with everyone. Lin Meng and He Wen went inside to cut fruit.

As the fruit was washed and ready to be peeled, He Wen spoke up.

"Lin Meng"

"Huh" Lin Meng tilted her head slightly, indicating that she was listening.

"Sorry!" she apologized abruptly, or perhaps it wasn't abrupt at all; her apology had been brewing for a while. Or maybe Mother Jiang hadn't come over to cut fruit, precisely to allow this apology and reconciliation to take place.

For past events, I apologize. At the time, I was jealous, and jealousy can make a woman ugly!

She was indeed honest and straightforward, saying whatever came to mind. As for what she apologized for, Lin Meng already knew about it and had let go of it, so she replied.

It's all over!

She seemed to have said this many times, to different people. But it's really all in the past. People who enjoy life first of all need a broad mind, not dwelling on the past or those little things!

She is doing well now, so everything is over!

He Wenqing hummed in response, without saying anything further. Considering her temperament and status, uttering an apology was already her utmost limit. Otherwise, the one accompanying the elderly mistress of the He family that day wouldn't have been just He Liji alone. Although this apology came a little late, it was done nonetheless, which should be attributed to the Jiang family's influence.

Because, after all, we'll still be living together for the long haul.

Lin Meng thought for a moment, then said, "Everyone has their own fate in love. It doesn't matter if it comes early or late, what matters is that it arrives at the perfect time. Brother Jiang is my big brother, and I sincerely hope that he will be well. Although there are misunderstandings between you and me, to be fair, you are an excellent person. I hope that both you and Brother Jiang will find in each other a love that is not too early, not too late, but just right at the perfect moment!"

He Wen's heart was suddenly touched. Her action of peeling the apple stopped.

Lin Meng also stopped and looked at He Wen straight in the eyes, but her tone suddenly changed, becoming slightly stricter.

“There's just one thing, I want to see you be kind to Uncle and Aunt. At the very least, don't hurt them. Because of my mistakes, Uncle and Aunt have been deeply wounded. Although they certainly won't admit it, I consider myself half their daughter. The rest of their lives is also my responsibility. I absolutely will not allow Big Brother Jiang to eventually turn away from Uncle and Aunt, or even neglect them. If it really comes to that, then I won't be polite!”

This statement is definitely the tone of a daughter who has her parents in mind! It's also something a younger sister might say to her future sister-in-law! Once spoken, it both confirms He Wen's future status and serves as a warning to her!

Nowadays, it's common for young couples to have conflicts with their parents after getting married. Jiang Chengfeng probably isn't that kind of person, but Lin Meng would still let him know the warning: things need to be let go!

He Wen raised an eyebrow.

Lin Meng then lowered her head and slowly began to peel it again!

That composed and calm demeanor was a testament to her inner strength and unwavering confidence in her abilities. Therefore, she stated her position without reservation, unconcerned about He Wen's reaction. In essence, if such an event were to occur, she would undoubtedly take action!

He Wen raised an eyebrow and looked at Lin Meng for a long time before letting out a low chuckle.

You're really interesting!

The forest dreams silently.

He Wen then continued, but her tone suddenly became surprisingly interested.

"Don't worry, little sister. If I were to do something like that, not only would you be upset, but my dad, who loves me dearly, would turn on me first. He'd probably break my leg!"

This statement was exaggerated, causing Lin Meng to raise a smile. He Wen also followed suit with a laugh.

Without realizing it, the two people's relationship had been drawn closer.

Neither of the two noticed that a figure stood silently outside the kitchen. Jiang Yichen, who had come to remind Lin Meng and his companion not to eat cold fruits like persimmons, pears, and watermelon as they might clash with the crabs and cause discomfort, simply listened to Lin Meng and He Wen's conversation in its entirety.

When Lin Meng said these words, placing his family in her heart like this, it was like a small hammer, lightly but heavily tapping on his chest, stirring up huge waves within him and bringing forth a feeling of pain mingled with sourness. He had always known that this girl was good, but after his youngest son's accident, he refused to acknowledge it. As time passed, feeling her sincerity so closely again, a bittersweet emotion, tinged with some sweetness, surged from his heart onto his face, making him unable to help but redden his eyes.

This is a good kid!

She is a good girl!

He raised his hand and quietly wiped away the few tears that had spilled from the corner of his eye. Then, he quietly stepped back a few paces, trying hard to adjust his mood before pretending not to have heard anything. He quickened his pace slightly and walked step by step toward the kitchen.
