Chapter 24: Intention_1

During dinner, Liu Mei hadn't returned. Gu Xiaodong didn't say anything; it was obvious he already knew. Chen Qiumei not only made chicken soup, but also cooked pork liver. Gu Xiaobei knew that their kindness was targeted at the child in her belly; they were still family, after all.

Chen Qiumei hurriedly asked Gu Xiaobei to sit down and handed her a bowl of chicken soup. "Drink more chicken soup. This pork liver is good for blood replenishment. Please eat more."

If there were no unpleasant affairs from earlier, Xiaobei would have been touched by the display of maternal love. She said nothing, took the bowl and began to drink quietly.

Chen Qiumei then poured another bowl of chicken soup and added two large chicken legs into the bowl for Xiaodong, grumbling, "Look at Liu Mei, always away from home and you let her be."

"Enough. Let's eat," Gu Xiaodong interrupted impatiently.

Chen Qiumei's eyes widened in annoyance but bowed out gracefully, she stopped arguing and began to eat.
