Chapter 80: Disappearance

Ouyang Xuan smiled and asked Xiao Miaomiao to take Jiang Lin down to eat first. After they left, the smile on Ouyang Xuan’s face instantly disappeared. She looked at her son beside her, with heartache in her eyes. “Miaomiao is a good girl. Your grandpa, grandma, and your dad are all very satisfied with her.”

“But Jiang Lin is also right. Our Li family can only give Miaomiao things that can be bought with money. But some things can’t be bought with money, like a husband’s care and love. She may be thinking of finding a vegetable person as a husband because she was hurt by her previous marriage, so she won’t be betrayed.”

“But what about the future? Won’t she be envious when she sees those couples?” Ouyang Xuan put herself in her shoes and understood Jiang Lin’s disapproval of Miaomiao being with her son.

“To be honest, if Miaomiao were my daughter, I wouldn’t approve either. I wouldn’t want her to marry a vegetable person.” Ouyang Xuan held her son’s hand and persuaded him.

“Therefore, even though you and your grandma are reluctant, we won’t stop Miaomiao’s decision. If it really comes to divorce, it can only be said that our Li family doesn’t have that kind of fortune. I can only pray that you and Miaomiao can get pregnant as soon as possible.” Li’s mother sighed.

“With a child, Miaomiao will naturally have something to hold on to. The Jiang family will also see that Miaomiao has someone to rely on and won’t persuade her to divorce anymore.” Ouyang Xuan said expectantly.

Everyone started eating after Ouyang Xuan came down.

Ouyang Xuan had tidied herself up before coming over, but everyone saw that her eyes were red. Xiao Miaomiao was a little worried. She must have heard her cousin talk about divorce.

“Miaomiao, didn’t I tell you to greet your brother first and eat? You don’t have to wait for me.” Ouyang Xuan saw that they hadn’t started eating, and she forced a smile, trying to hide her sadness.

“Auntie, it’s okay. It’s no problem to wait a few minutes. It’s me who suddenly came to visit and offended you.” Jiang Lin felt a little guilty when he saw the look in Li’s mother’s eyes. After all, no mother would want to hear someone belittle her own son.

“Okay, then just treat this as your own home. Try the food. Does it suit your taste? If you like it, come more often. The family can be more lively. Just treat this as your own home and don’t be restrained.” Ouyang Xuan said to him.

“Yes, Xiao Lin, these are all the dishes that we heard from your family that you like. We specially asked the chef to make them. If you like them, eat more.” Li’s grandmother also looked at Jiang Lin with a kind face.

Jiang Lin looked at the exquisite dishes on the table, and a wave of emotion welled up in his heart. These dishes were all his favorites, and the Li family was so considerate of his preferences.

He knew that this was all because of Miaomiao. The Li family cared for Miaomiao in every way, and even he received this kind of care.

Thinking about this, Jiang Lin couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed.

“Thank you. I’ve always heard that there is a very talented chef here. Today I finally have the honor of tasting his skills.” Jiang Lin said gratefully.

“As long as you like it. If you want to eat it again in the future, you can come anytime. Don’t worry too much. We’re all family.” Li Chen responded with a smile.

“Okay.” Jiang Lin agreed verbally, but he felt a little awkward in his heart.

Maybe next month, they wouldn’t be family anymore. At this moment, he only hoped that when the Li family found out that Miaomiao and Li Jingcheng were divorcing because of him, they could let him off the hook.

Maybe, outside on that conspicuous sign, his name would appear, with a note saying “No entry.” Thinking about this, Jiang Lin’s mood became heavy.

Jiang Lin originally felt a little guilty towards the Li family, but like Xiao Miaomiao, he ate the food and focused on eating. It could only be said that they were siblings who grew up together, even their eating habits were synchronized. The Li family saw this and also felt very hungry.

After Jiang Lin finished eating, he looked at Xiao Miaomiao, who was also eating with satisfaction, and had a guess. Xiao Miaomiao agreed to marry into the Li family, maybe she was attracted to the chef’s food.

Xiao Miaomiao saw Jiang Lin’s gaze and felt awkward. She didn’t deny that she did like the food made by the chef at Li Jingcheng’s house when she agreed to marry him.

Ouyang Xuan saw that Jiang Lin had almost finished eating, so she went back to her room and soon brought out several postcards of Jiang Lin, asking him to sign them.

Jiang Lin was surprised when he saw the postcards with his photos on them. He originally thought that Li’s mother was joking when she said she was his fan. Now seeing his photo, he doubted it.

Ouyang Xuan saw his surprised expression and smiled, “You thought I was joking with you? I’m really your fan. You have a fan club, right? Do you know the account “Xiao Lin’s Fan Mom”? That’s me.”

Jiang Lin looked at her in surprise. No way, he naturally knew this fan, and she was his mother fan, the undisputed number one fan since his debut.

“Surprised, aren’t you?” Ouyang Xuan asked him.

Jiang Lin was indeed surprised. After all, the relationship between their two families wasn’t ordinary at that time. Who would have thought that Li’s mother was actually his fan? If he had known before, he would have been wary. Was she trying to get something from him?

“Our two families did have some conflicts at that time, but you’re really excellent. I’ve watched every drama and movie you’ve acted in. Before, I watched them myself, but later on, Miaomiao accompanied me to watch them. You’re a very good actor.” Ouyang Xuan praised him.

“Thank you for your support all these years.” Jiang Lin took the pen and wrote his name on it.

Ouyang Xuan shook her head, “I support you because you’re excellent in the first place. No wonder I liked watching your shows back then. It can only be said that birds of a feather flock together.”

“I first noticed you on stage when you participated in that “Creation Camp”. Out of a hundred contestants, you were the most dazzling. No wonder Miaomiao is so excellent. You have such an excellent brother.” Ouyang Xuan praised.

Jiang Lin was also happy to hear Li’s mother praise Miaomiao. “Well, Miaomiao was raised by me. She’s naturally very excellent.” Jiang Lin said affirmatively.

Xiao Miaomiao saw Jiang Lin’s happy expression and breathed a sigh of relief. He shouldn’t be angry about her disagreeing to the divorce, right?

But Xiao Miaomiao was happy too soon.

Before Jiang Lin left, he looked at the Li family and said, “Grandpa Li, Grandma Li, and Uncle and Auntie, I have something to tell you. I came here today to ask for Miaomiao’s divorce. If Miaomiao can’t get pregnant next month, I hope the marriage between our two families can be dissolved.”

“I know this isn’t good for the reputation of both families, but I only have one sister. I hope you can let us go.”
