Xu Xinduo replied in a soft voice: “I’m not in good health so Auntie has me stay here to take care of me.”
Tong Yukai obviously didn’t believe it: “You are lying. She’s not a kind-hearted person.”
Xu Xinduo did not admit this: “Auntie is a very nice person.”
“You don’t need to introduce my wife to me.”
“But you don’t know her at all. She is a very good person!”
“…”
Seeing Xu Xinduo’s courage to refute, Yin Hua suddenly laughed and warned Tong Yukai: “Don’t scare my daughter.”
Xu Xinduo didn’t want to stay there any longer and said to them: “I’ll go back upstairs first.”
Tong Yukai watched Xu Xinduo run away. After hesitating for a long time, he looked back at Yin Hua and asked, “So how are you?”
For a moment, Yin Hua expected that Tong Yukai had noticed something.
Now she felt that she thought too much about it. As a father, Tong Yukai could only be regarded as having that title. Tong Yukai would occasionally go see his son but didn’t pay much attention to him.
Tong Yukai only paid attention to Yin Hua.
If Yin Hua asked Tong Yukai if Tong Yan had any small habits, he would definitely not be able to answer.
It would be more difficult for Tong Yukai to find whether there was something wrong with the two children than ascending to heaven. If she told Tong Yukai about it, she would probably be lectured by Tong Yukai about common sense.
…
Xu Xinduo had breakfast with the Tong Parents in the morning and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
The family’s habits were very unified. If there was nothing important then no one would speak while eating.
The family was still in a state where there were no servants. Xu Xinduo looked around and didn’t know whether to help with the dishes. While thinking about it, she noticed that Yin Hua was looking at her.
Xu Xinduo put down the tableware, wiped her mouth and said, “I’m done.”
Yin Hua asked her: “Does it fit your appetite?”
Breakfast was just a simple sandwich. In fact, the taste was okay, neither good nor bad.
Xu Xinduo smiled and replied: “Very good.”
“Well, your father made it by himself and brought you a share.”
“Oh… Thank you, uncle.”
Tong Yukai stopped to look at Yin Hua and then at Xu Xinduo. He found her surname familiar.
Yin Hua ignored Tong Yukai and said, “Go to school after eating, don’t be late.”
“Okay.”
Xu Xinduo was about to get up when she saw Tong Yukai put a card in front of her and said: “Use this card while you live here. The password is… her (Yin Hua) birthday.”
Tong Yukai finally recognised her surname and could only ask Yin Hua more about her later.
After seeing Xu Xinduo hesitating, Yin Hua waved her hand at her and said: “Take it.”
In the end, Xu Xinduo decided to put it away and quickly left to pack up for school.
After Xu Xinduo left, Yin Hua asked Tong Yukai: “Aren’t you curious about this little girl?”
“Are you feeling lonely after becoming middle-aged?” Tong Yukai asked tentatively.
Yin Hua’s expression gradually became ferocious.
Tong Yukai calmed her down and then asked: “She is… Tong Yan’s child bride?”
(T/L: Child bride means a girl adopted into a family as the future daughter-in-law.)
Yin Hua threw the tableware directly without answering.
Tong Yukai leaned over and hugged Yin Hua to coax her: “Your sister?”
Yin Hua rolled her eyes before asking, “If she is your daughter-in-law, would you like it?”
