Chapter 065 – Relying on one’s mouth to eat

Hao Shufen did not hear Jiang Tao’s implication, very warmly greeted Lin Hao and Jiang Tao – it can be seen that she did not have the slightest bit of resentment towards the unexpected guests, although both of them are Zi Shan’s friends, she did not have a feeling of disgust, and once upon a time Zi Shan’s classmates came to find her, but it’s not the same at all.

She couldn’t hear it, but Li Yaoxu did, and he glanced at Hao Shufen and wondered why she had to force her way through – he knew that lawyers’ time was valuable, and lawyers had to be paid to talk to them, and he didn’t agree with Hao Shufen’s approach, especially since she was using Zi Shan’s cell phone.

Although Zi Shan didn’t let Hao Shufen down in front of people, but he knew his daughter well enough to know that Hao Shufen opened his daughter’s bag and took out her cell phone, which had already violated his daughter’s taboo, he avoided Lin Hao and Jiang Tao and gave Hao Shufen a stern look, “I’m going to go and see how the fish I got for Zi Shan is doing.”

He beckoned to Zi Shan, “You come and help.” After nodding to Lin Hao and Jiang Tao so that they don’t have to be polite, he leads Zishan towards the kitchen, he turns back when he enters the kitchen, “I know that she’s been looking for you to make trouble over the money, you’ll see if there’s anything missing in the bag later on, if there’s anything missing I’ll be sure to ask her to take it out and give it back to you.”

Zixan shook her head, “My bag contains nothing but a phone and tissues, even the house keys are on me, there really isn’t anything.” She was still happy about her father’s change, “Fish, it smells so good, it smells like you made it dad?”

Li Yao Xu nodded and looked at Zi Shan, “I didn’t think you still remembered the fish dad made.” With a plain sentence, he hears how much he has neglected his daughter over the years, turning his head to get a plate, “Your lawyer is your classmate ah, I seem to have seen him originally isn’t it?”

Zi Shan went over to help, following Li Yao Xu’s words and said a few jokes, the two of them left the kitchen with the dishes when Hao Shufen came in, Li Yao Xu said to Hao Shufen, “You can do the rest, you are the one who is willing to treat the guests anyway, and I think you are not afraid of being tired.”

Hao Shufen originally wanted to let Zi Shan’s help words were blocked back by Li Yao Xu, the smile on her face stiffened and she agreed: “You guys go and sit down, when is it not always a matter of me alone? Speaking as if there are many people helping me.” She glanced at Zi Shan as she entered the kitchen, smiling but not saying anything.

When Zi Shan and Li Yaowu returned to the dining room and saw the seating arrangement, both of their faces looked a little odd, Zi Shan’s face flashed with annoyance while looking at Jiang Tao and Lin Hao apologetically shaking her head while Li Yaowu had nothing but embarrassment on his face.

Jiang Tao and Lin Hao are sitting on the left side of the dining table, only two people sandwiched between a Rong Qi, the left side of the dining table is already full of people, and the upper seat can only be Li Yaoxu, Zi Shan can only sit on the right side of the dining table, because Hao Shufen drank half a cup of tea was placed on the lower end of the Jiang Tao, early to take up a good seat.

Rong Qi looked uncomfortable, and when she saw Zi Shan come over, she hurriedly stood up to take the plate, but her eyes did not look at Zi Shan.

It was only now that Zi Shan realized that today’s Rong Qi was dressed a little differently than usual, wearing a skirt that looked like it was newly purchased, and although she only wore a ponytail, her hair was obviously permed straight, and it was so smooth and sleek that it was obvious what this mother and daughter were up to.

Li Yao Xu sat down first and opened his mouth to apologize to Lin Hao and Jiang Tao: ”I was just worried about Zi Shan, and wanted to ask you guys how her divorce is going, and also wanted to ask you guys what’s the worst possible situation for her and her child after Zi Shan’s divorce. Well, it didn’t occur to me that there was a poor greeting, I’m really sorry.”

Lin Hao smiled and shook his head, “Uncle is too polite, just feel free to ask whatever you want, in fact, divorce isn’t such a terrible thing, it can be completely seen as a new birth – some marriages are truly cruel if they stay together any longer.”

Jiang Tao, however, didn’t say much, just pointed to the opposite side of Lin Hao: “Since it’s uncle who has something to ask us, I’d better sit over there, it’s also closer to uncle, and it’s easier to talk.” He stood up naturally after he finished speaking, and under the gaze of Hao Shufen, who came in with the dishes, he sat down at the first place on the right, exactly on an opposite side from Lin Hao.

Li Yao Xu smiled and asked Li Rong Qi to move Jiang Tao’s dishes over, “That’s it, that’s it, it’s much easier for us to talk this way.”

Hao Shufen’s face changed slightly, when she put her eyes on Lin Hao, she re-switched to a cordial smile, “You guys eat first, don’t just talk, the dishes will be ready soon.”

Zi Shan accidentally dropped a pair of chopsticks when she took the dishes and put them down, “Rongqi, go get a pair, it’s just the right time to help your mom as well.”

Li Rongqi promised to get up and go to the kitchen, but Hao Shufen was furious, just because Lin Hao and Jiang Tao were there, so she really didn’t have any way to have an attack, she had to forcefully endure this breath and turn around, “Rongqi, accompany your big brother Lin and big brother Jiang and talk, right, pour wine for your two brothers, just leave the kitchen things to me, the more you guys all help the more you get busy. ”

Lin Hao had already stood up and naturally moved Li Rongqi’s chopsticks and dishes by a seat, “Zi Shan, you sit here, so that uncle and we can talk just right and also ask you about your business, it’s really inconvenient for you to talk when you’re sitting too far away.”

Zisan agreed and sat down, “Uh-huh. My dad is just worried, I hope you two barristers can help me convince my dad that he shouldn’t always be on edge, divorce isn’t that scary, and a woman doesn’t have to be tied to a man to survive.” She sat down and saw Rongqi come back, “Rongqi, bring the juice over, it’s better for the two of us to drink juice.”

Li Rongqi only had to go get the juice again, this scene also happened to fall into Hao Shufen’s eyes, especially when she saw Zi Shan sitting in Lin Hao’s adjoining seat, anger flashed across her face and she couldn’t help but put down the dishes a bit heavier, not even a smile anymore.

Li Yao Xu glared at her and motioned for Lin Hao and Jiang Tao: ”Come on, don’t be polite. Alas, it’s really hard for a woman to be divorced, where can I let go?”

Lin Hao and Jiang Tao, Zi Shan and Li Yaoxu chatted, even though Rong Qi sat down but couldn’t intervene at all, her social experience was almost a blank sheet of paper, how could she have any insights? But it was Lin Hao’s conversation that made her open her eyes wide, listening and in the process of not realizing it, she drank a glass of juice.

Hao Shufen finally brought out all the dishes, even the soup, sat down and saw her daughter just sitting dumbly listening, so she gave her a wink and smiled and raised her glass, “Don’t always talk about things that make people demoralized, Lawyer Lin and Lawyer Jiang are coming to our house for the first time, let’s have a drink before we talk about something that makes people happy.”

The crowd had to raise their cups and take a sip, Zi Shan looked at her and didn’t say anything, she directly buried her head and ate the food, in her heart, she loathed Hao Shufen for what it was, but she also saw how pathetic she was – moving and playing tricks in front of the two barristers, or such a lowly one, it would be strange if she could get away with it.

Besides, Lin Hao and Jiang Tao had clearly rejected her “good intentions”, but she didn’t see it and was still showing off her cleverness.

“Lawyer Lin, come on, try this fish, it’s made by your uncle Li himself, it’s really one of our family’s specialties, usually we can’t eat it often,” she gave Lin Hao a piece of fish, “You and Zishan are old classmates, don’t be polite, just like in your own home, come on, eat more. ”

Zishan sighed and turned her face away, really a bit ashamed to see her classmates, her stepmother is usually bad, but has not done anything to make her so ashamed, now go, it is not good, Lin Hao and Jiang Tao came not much time, she is dissatisfied with Hao Shufen again can not let Lin Hao and Jiang Tao embarrassed, difficult to do ah.

Lin Hao put the fish on a plate and looked at Li Yao Xu, “Uncle you first, it’s good for the old man to eat more fish.” He put the fish on Li Yao Xu’s plate, then took a piece of fish for himself and put it on Zi Shan’s plate, “I think uncle will make this fish for Zi Shan, our mouthfuls depend on Zi Shan.”

“If you don’t eat the fish uncle made, how can we eat it? If you don’t eat it, Zi Shan, those of us who dabble are even more embarrassed to eat it.” He again held a piece of fish and looked at Hao Shufen: “Auntie you also eat ah, just watching us eat how can we be good?”

Hao Shufen’s face had a bright smile, nodding her head repeatedly, “You eat you eat.” As soon as she said the words, her smile froze on her face, because Lin Hao took the fish to his own plate, it wasn’t meant for her at all – it was really embarrassing for her to have that kind of “beautiful” misunderstanding in front of a table full of people.

Jiang Tao also reached out his chopsticks and took a piece of fish, “Auntie, Lawyer Lin is right, you also eat you also eat.” The words were said with the same warmth, the same smile on his face, but the piece of fish also fell on his own plate, and was not intended for Hao Shufen.

Originally Hao Shufen already embarrassed do not know how to get off the stage, and then by Jiang Tao a polite even if her old skin is not too thin, but still can not help but through the red halo to, it is very embarrassing, but she can not be attacked, because everyone is smiling at her, no one to her bad language.

She laughed dryly twice: “Eat, everyone eat, don’t be polite.” After she gave her daughter Rong Qi a fish hostage, she herself ate bok choy, and was afraid that she wouldn’t even eat fish from now on.

The table did not fall into silence because of this little episode, on the contrary, Lin Hao, Jiang Tao and Li Yaoshu talk very much, and then Zishan from time to time to say a few words, but from time to time bursts of laughter – Li Yaoshu did not notice Hao Shufen’s embarrassment – some of the Things are like this, in addition to the parties involved, few people can feel it.

But Zi Shan knew, because Jiang Tao and Lin Hao looked at each other covertly, believing that this was their little lesson to Hao Shufen – lawyers are so good at counting? Lawyers rely on their mouths to make a living – if they can bring the dead to life, they certainly have the ability to bring the living to death.
