Chapter 179: Late night dinner party!
Huian felt as if she was brutally slapped left and right. Her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment, sensing those accusing gazes.
Jing dramatically shook her head.
Even Grandma Liu was disappointed.
She was panicking. She forgot about this fact.
“N-No No! I didn’t mean that. Of course, Jinhai is not a stain.”
Liu Hai frowned. “Of course you do. You think that people will say such things because somewhere you also agree with them. And in the morning as well, didn’t you say that Nana’s child is a b*stard?”
He said indignantly, “So it clearly means that you think Jinhai is also a b*stard.”
Jing clapped inside his head.
That was savage!
He sadly looked at his wife. “Chunhua, we were wrong. Jinhai and Huian were childhood friends, but all this time, she was secretly disgusted by him. Aish, what has this world come to?”
Huian wanted to kill herself for saying those things. It backfired her!
“No!” Now Huian started to cry. “I-I really don’t mean that. I love Jinhai. How can I be disgusted by him?”
Jing sneered. “So, that means that you are deliberately targeting my nephew or niece. Bro is not a stain to our family, but his child is? Heh! You claim that you will raise their child, but here you are already trying to sow discord.”
If looks could kill then, Jing would have already died a thousand times by Huian’s glares.
“I think you want everyone to hate the child so that bro will kick him out of Liu family. Aren’t I right?”
She stiffened.
That was what she had planned.
Jing snorted. “Don’t think as if we were born yesterday.”
Yukito raised his eyebrows. He thoroughly exposed her plan even before she could execute it.
He felt nice seeing him standing up for his sister.
Jinhai stood up and said, “I’m done. And Huian.” He looked at her expressionlessly. “Nana and my unborn child are my bottom line. Next time, if you dare utter even the ‘i’ of illegitimate, I will stitch your mouth shut, and trust me, nobody will stop me.”
Huian looked horrified.
Liu Chunhua said, “Jinhai, you have not finished your food yet.”
“I’m not hungry anymore.”
Nana wanted to stop him, but she couldn’t say anything.
The mood dampened with his departure, and one by one, everyone started to leave as well.
Huian was the only left, standing alone.
—
At twelve-thirty in the night, Jinhai heard a soft knock on his door.
He opened and found Nana waiting for him outside. He leaned against the door and smiled. “I see, so you have decided to meet me head-on instead of sneaking in.”
She gave a dry smile. “I came here so that you complete your dinner. You didn’t finish your food, and you would have gotten hungry in the middle of the night.”
Actually, she wanted the others to join in as well, but she thought it wouldn’t look proper.
He slightly widened his eyes in surprise. He saw Nana holding a tray of bowls.
“You…did you cook all these now?”
“Yes.”
Why didn’t any maid inform him?
Jinhai looked a little resentful. “You shouldn’t have done that. You are pregnant. You should have rested instead of taking all the trouble. What if you hurt yourself?”
“How?” She looked skeptical.
“There are so many things. Knife, fire…and many more.” He could only think of these two.
She blinked her eyes. “This is the work I do every day. Being pregnant doesn’t change anything.”
“But still, you shouldn’t tire yourself out.”
She smiled. “I understand your concern, but I’m fine. Cooking can never tire me out. That is the job I love.”
He sighed. “Alright, but just this once.”
“Are you asking a chef not to cook for the next nine months?”
He coughed. “Yes.”
Her mouth twitched. “Okay, for now, finish this food.”
They went inside, and Jinhai set the plates and started digging in. Just then, they heard some whispering outside.
“Dad, don’t push me!”
“Hai, what are you doing!?”
“You all are wasting time. I definitely smelled delicious food. My nose is the best food detector. It can never be wrong! Somebody is eating without us!”
Nana – “…”
Jinhai – “…”
Jinhai let out a sigh and opened the door. Jing and Liu Hai were sticking their ears on his door, so they suddenly stumbled in.
“What are you doing?”
Liu Hai steadied himself, and his eyes immediately caught the sight of the food.
“Aha! I knew it. Chunhua, Jing look. There is food here. Jinhai is selfishly hogging it all to himself.” He furiously looked at him. “Jinhai! How can you forget the values I taught you? Don’t you know how to share? And first with the elders. Hmph!”
Jinhai got a headache.
“Nana, dear. Is everything for Jinhai?”
“No, no. Of course, you can have it. There is plenty.”
Jing cheered. “Yay! I was so hungry! That dumb Huian ruined everybody’s mood and hunger. Let’s dig in!”
Liu Chunhua facepalmed.
So like this, three more members joined in, and it turned out to be a mini dinner party in Jinhai’s room at almost one in the morning.
Huian was standing outside, peeking in the room. She saw how the atmosphere was so warm and happy. They were talking and joking and laughing cheerfully, just like a complete family.
Not even a full day has gone by, and that sl*t has already wormed her way in everyone’s hearts. She did this on purpose to win them over!
Tomorrow I will sign the contract, and just once let that child come into my clutches. I vow to ruin his life forever!
