The first thing He Da did when he got home was to take a bath with pomelo leaves, a village custom believed to ward off evil spirits. While he was bathing, Zhilan was busy in the kitchen with her aunt. It was the first grand family reunion for the He family after many years. Therefore, He Zhongguo had prepared a multitude of dishes to celebrate the occasion.
In the kitchen, He Hongmei glanced at He Zhilan, her words stuck in her throat. Liang Tao had already told her about the situation, so He Zhilan's matters had been troubling her these past few days. However, upon seeing Zhilan smiling cheerfully as she prepared dinner, she refrained from questioning her further.
No matter what, He Zhilan's heart belonged to the He family. That was more important than anything else.
