C232 Vexation of Heart
Although the old lady's eyes were still empty, but after she had washed up, her spirit and appearance had changed, and she seemed much more lively now. A smile finally appeared on Wu Xin's face.
At this moment, Liang Ying's pager rang. She looked at the text message that was sent over. It was from Zhang Qian, and on it, it said "Lu County Hotel", room 202.
Zhang Qian didn't know that they were staying at the Lu County Hotel, but he had booked a private room at the Lu County Hotel. It was obvious that the Lu County Hotel was the best place to receive guests, so Zhang Qian wanted to show his sincerity.
Thus, Liang Ying told her mother about Zhang Qian's message.
"Alright, then let's go. It's getting late." Wu Xin knew that the people in the small town ate breakfast. At around 5: 30 PM, they started eating dinner.
She raised her wrist and looked at her watch. It was already 5: 00 PM. She said to Wu Yu, "Let's take Mom and go together."
Wu Yu nodded. The two sisters went out while holding the old lady's arm.
Liang Ying couldn't help much with this, so she closed the door to her grandma's house. The four of them walked out of the building and headed towards Lu County Hotel.
Although the old lady had forgotten about them from time to time, the blood bond between them was still there. She was very quiet and obedient when she was with them, like a little over a year old child that had yet to wake up.
Although a one year old child couldn't think like an adult, he was already able to instinctively determine who was protecting him. When he was with the person protecting him, he naturally felt very at ease.
It was because the old lady's brain wasn't good and her body was still sturdy, so walking was not a difficult task. Very quickly, they arrived at the Lu County Hotel.
Liang Ying walked in front and opened the door for them.
Wu Xin walked in and saw that it was filled with people. Other than her sister Wu Qin, she did not recognize any of them.
After not seeing each other for 20 years, the aging degree of the younger sisters had exceeded Wu Xin's expectations. Wu Yu and Wu Qin were already middle-aged women with aged faces. They had fat bodies and thick waists, and both of them had short hair.
No matter how callous Wu Xin was, she couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. Wu Qin, on the other hand, acted as if she hadn't expected it. She stepped forward and shouted excitedly, "Sister!"
After a moment of sighing, the group settled down. Then, Wu Yu and Wu Qin began to introduce their families.
Wu Yu's son was Zhang Qian. Wu Xin had met Wu Yu's mother before. Wu Yu's husband, Zhang Qingsheng, was about 1.68 meters tall and thin. Just from his appearance, people would think he was a cunning businessman.
Wu Yu still had two daughters who were in middle school and couldn't come back today because they were staying at the school, but Wu Yu said there would be opportunities later on.
Like her, Wu Qin's husband, Liu Liangtian, was an honest citizen. The two of them now depended on doing odd jobs for their livelihood. Their son, Liu Kun, had been studying for three years and had yet to pass the exam.
Liu Kun had a pretty face and wore glasses. Liu Kun's sister, Liu Meimei, was already married.
After not seeing her for so many years, Wu Xin's heart still had a bit of shadow cast over the past. However, as time passed, the memories that were stabbing at her slowly became blurry. Although they still remained in her heart, they somewhat reduced the resentment and discontent she had towards her relatives.
The two younger sisters tactfully did not mention why the eldest young mistress had not contacted her family for so many years, so the atmosphere was rather peaceful.
The two brother-in-law brothers were quite nervous at first, especially since Zhang Qingsheng was a businessman. He often worked in the society and showed his face, and the moment he saw Wu Xin's demeanor, he knew she wasn't an ordinary person.
He had seen a few female officials in the county who did not have an imposing manner like Wu Xin's. He couldn't help but be shocked in his heart. Just who was he, Eldest Aunt, right now?
However, thinking back, his wife had revealed that Eldest Aunt had married a good family in the capital. Judging from her temperament and dress, she didn't seem to be in a bad mood.
For those big figures in the capital, just a casual action of their fingers would be enough for them to eat for their entire lives …
Thinking of this, Zhang Qingsheng felt a surge of passion in his heart. He couldn't wait to build a good relationship with Wu Xin now.
When he thought about how he didn't really care about his wife and even hit her from time to time to scold her, he felt a little guilty. Thus, he didn't say anything for a while and prepared to speak when the time was right.
Wu Qin's husband, Liu Liangtian, looked like an honest man. His hands were black, and there were even some calluses that had been accumulating over the years. There were even some cracks on the calluses. He was not good with words, so he simply lowered his head and did not speak.
Liu Kun had a hint of understanding in his eyes. Seeing that his aunt's temperament was outstanding, and that he had attended County City High School, he could be considered as someone who had seen the world, his heart was immediately set ablaze.
Liu Kun felt that his aunt would have a chance to help him.
If there was a chance, it might even soar to greatness in her eyes. If there was then, Kang Ying would have the ability to compete with her.
Thinking about this, Liu Kun's thoughts were the same as Zhang Qingsheng's. However, they were still confused and could only pretend to be honest.
With just a glance, Wu Xin had already seen the situation of her sister's family members.
From the looks of it, other than Wu Yu, who had a bit more money, Wu Qin was a lowly commoner.
Wu Xin could not help but feel sad as well. After she sat down, they chatted and the atmosphere gradually brightened.
Wu Xin had broken through the ice and returned home. She didn't look serious at all.
She had trained in the outside world for so many years that her mind was already very mature. As long as she let go of those old grudges, the sharp aura she exuded would disappear as well.
Zhang Qingsheng and Liu Kun wanted to curry favor with Wu Xin. At this moment, they both understood that Wu Xin came back for the Old Granny and immediately started to treat her with consideration.
The old lady didn't eat very fast. After a while, all the dishes in her bowl became sharp.
Wu Yu told them to stop picking food. It was too full for the old lady to finish. Only then did they stop.
Zhang Qian said, "Grandmother can eat as many dishes as she wants now. She doesn't know how to control herself, so I usually take care of her, but I don't dare to cook too much for her."
Zhang Qian casually mentioned it, and Wu Xin's eyes immediately darkened. After so many years had passed, her mother's memory had disappeared. This was simply...
Wu Xin felt a little upset. She couldn't even finish the sumptuous meal in front of her.
