Chapter 317 Yan Bugui's Thoughts
Hearing her sister's question, Yu Haitang's face turned even redder. She lowered her head, twisted her hands together unconsciously, and answered a little embarrassedly:
"I... I'm in love with Brother Yuzhu." As she spoke, her voice became smaller and smaller, but her tone revealed an unconcealable sweetness.
"And then?" Yu Li asked curiously. She noticed a gleam of happiness in her sister's eyes and felt a little relieved.
"He said he would take me home in the evening, but I... I felt a little embarrassed, so I walked faster." Yu Haitang raised her head, glanced at her sister secretly, and then quickly lowered her head, as if she was afraid that her sister would see through her thoughts.
Yu Li couldn't help but laugh and cry when she heard this. When she looked at her sister like this, the anger in her heart had long since disappeared, replaced by a kind of helplessness and pampering.
She patted Yu Haitang's head gently and said with a smile: "You are such a little fool. What's there to be embarrassed about? It's not shameful to be in love."
When Yu Li said this, she suddenly remembered that she had just acted as if she was going to fight, but her sister ended up doing this to her. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
She coughed twice, trying to ease the atmosphere, and then said, "Well, since you are already together, get along well. But you have to remember, no matter what happens, you must protect yourself and don't let yourself get hurt."
Yu Haitang felt warm in her heart when she heard her sister's words. She raised her head, looked at her sister gratefully, and nodded heavily, indicating that she would remember her sister's words.
......
It was soon time for dinner. Yan Bugui was secretly delighted, thinking that Yu Haitang would not eat dinner either, so their family could get an extra piece of fried pork liver.
However, when Yu Haitang followed Yu Li into the door, the smile on his face froze instantly and a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Yu Li noticed her father-in-law's subtle expression and felt a little unhappy. She glared at her husband Yan Jiecheng and asked him to look at his father and restrain himself. Then she pulled Yu Haitang to sit at the dining table.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little subtle. The third aunt remembered that Yu Haitang had gone to the He family for lunch at noon. She was curious and couldn't help asking, "Haitang, why do you always go to the He family for lunch recently?"
When Yu Haitang heard this question, her heart tightened slightly. She knew that her relationship with He Yuzhu would be known to her family sooner or later.
Rather than letting them hear the news from outsiders, it is better to speak out herself. So, she took a deep breath, raised her head, looked at the third aunt, and said frankly: "Third aunt, I... I am dating Yuzhu."
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere at the table froze instantly. The third aunt stared with eyes wide open, like two copper bells hanging on her face, looking at Yu Haitang in surprise, as if she was shocked by this sudden news and couldn't digest it immediately.
Her eyes moved back and forth on Haitang, as if trying to find any sign of lying, but she found nothing.
She repeated subconsciously: "Are you dating Yuzhu?" There was a tremor of disbelief in her voice.
Yan Bugui was also stunned. He opened his mouth slightly, as if something was blocking it and he couldn't close it.
He glanced at Yu Li and saw her sitting there with a calm expression on her face, as if she had already known all this. Yan Bugui knew that it was true.
The third aunt's voice gradually became louder. She slapped the table in surprise, her voice full of surprise and shock: "Oh, this is really big news! I didn't expect our Haitang to be so powerful and take down He Yuzhu in one fell swoop!
There have been so many people introduced to He Yuzhu recently, and there are some with good conditions, but he doesn't like any of them. I thought he couldn't forget Liu Xiuxiu and would remarry sooner or later!"
As she spoke, she looked at Yu Haitang, her eyes full of appreciation and admiration. Yu Haitang felt a little embarrassed by being looked at, she lowered her head, gently stroked her hair, and a blush appeared on her face.
Yan Bugui also came back to his senses. He cleared his throat and tried to resolve the sudden silence and awkwardness with a light cough. His eyes swept across the table and finally fixed on Haitang, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yu Haitang felt the gazes from Yan Bugui and the third aunt. She lowered her head slightly and explained a little embarrassedly:
"Brother Yuzhu and I...actually we just confirmed our relationship today." Her voice became smaller and smaller, but there was a hint of sweetness and shyness in her tone.
Yan Bugui's heart moved. He thought of his son Jiefang, who was about to enter the society and start looking for a job. If Yu Li could talk to her sister and let He Yuzhu arrange a job for Jiefang, wouldn't that be a good thing?
The idea flashed through his mind and he immediately thought it was a good idea.
Therefore, Yan Bugui decided to take the opportunity to signal to the third aunt. He deliberately raised his voice and said to the third aunt:
"Old lady, give Haitang some more rice. This amount of food doesn't seem to be enough. Otherwise, fry two more eggs for her."
Although the third aunt was a little confused and didn't understand why Yan Bugui was so enthusiastic about Haitang all of a sudden, she didn't ask any more questions. She glanced at Yu Haitang and saw that her face was slightly red and seemed a little shy, so she nodded and turned to the kitchen to fry eggs.
After Yu Haitang heard what Yan Bugui said, she did not show much reaction. She did notice that there were not many dishes on the table, but she was straightforward by nature and did not think much about it, just thinking it was normal.
She looked up at Yan Bugui, then at the third aunt, and a smile appeared on her face to express her gratitude.
Yu Li sat aside. Although she knew that her father-in-law would not do anything without benefits, when she saw Yu Haitang's innocent look, she decided not to remind her sister for the time being.
She understood that Yu Haitang's feelings for He Yuzhu were genuine and she didn't want any external factors to affect her.
After dinner, Yu Haitang chatted with everyone for a while. However, she found that everyone's topics seemed to be somewhat off her interest, and she gradually felt a little bored.
She looked at the time and thought it was time to leave, so she stood up, said goodbye politely to Yan Bugui and the third aunt, and said that she was going to look for He Yushui.
When she walked out of the door, she was surprised to find He Yuzhu and He Yushui waiting for her at the door. She quickly quickened her pace and walked to them.
Although she was talking to He Yushui, her eyes fell on He Yuzhu involuntarily. Her face was filled with a happy smile, and her voice was full of sweetness: "How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you call me earlier?"
He Yuzhu looked at her, a hint of tenderness flashing in his eyes. He smiled and replied, "I didn't wait long, so I thought of leaving you some private space. How is it? Did you have a good chat?"
Yu Haitang nodded and said, "Yeah, it's good. It's just that there are some topics that I'm not very interested in. But it doesn't matter, I'm not here anyway."
