A charming widow in her 70s married a factory manager and raised his children.

More than an hour had passed since Shang Hua left until dinner was served. Shang Jianjun was losing face by making so many people wait for her.

"No need to wait for her!" he said directly. "If she's busy, let her be busy. Let's eat."

Shang complained, "My sister is really something. She knows there are guests at home, but she still insists on going out... What is she thinking all day?"

Ren Zhen glared at Shang Jiang, and was about to invite Zhuang Qingxiang and the children to sit down and eat when she heard the door open.

Shang Hua returned, but not alone; a young man who was a head taller than her stood beside her.

He was tall, broad-shouldered, and had a slightly tanned complexion; he looked very smart in his military uniform.

However, judging from his military rank, he was not as high as Ge Jiangtao, and his features were not as upright and dignified as Ge Jiangtao's, but he was still considered handsome.

When Shang Jianjun and Ren Zhenyi saw who it was, they were both stunned. The others were also puzzled. Shang Hua tugged at the man's sleeve, and the two of them walked up to everyone. They smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, I told Peng Wanzhou that there would be a lot of people at home today, and he wanted to come and join in the fun, so I brought him along."

Peng Wanzhou quickly added, "Chief, Aunt Ren, I hope you won't mind my unauthorized visit?"

Ren Zhen stood up and said with a smile, "No, no, it's just that it's more lively with so many people. Come on, you and Ahua can sit here. Just sit next to me."

He stared at Shang Jiang, who looked completely bewildered, and said, "Second brother, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and get a stool for Xiao Peng."

Still confused, Shang Jiang got up, grabbed a stool, and placed it next to Shang Hua's seat. Then, belatedly realizing what was happening, he lowered his voice and asked, "Peng Wanzhou, what are you doing here? No, what are you doing with my sister?"

Ge Jiangtao's expression also turned somewhat unpleasant.

Looking at Shang Hua and then at Peng Wanzhou, he wanted to say something, but felt that the occasion was inappropriate, so he could only hold it in.

Shang Jianjun's face brightened. He was overjoyed to see that Shang Hua had brought Peng Wanzhou back. He invited Peng Wanzhou to sit down and even left the others to chat with him first.

Zhuang Qingxiang secretly tugged at Lu Congyue and whispered, "Is this Sister Shang's blind date?"

"Probably." Lu Congyue looked Peng Wanzhou up and down and thought that the man looked alright, but was a bit too young.

However, he's already thirty years old, so he shouldn't be the kind of unreliable young man.

Zhuang Qingxiang sized up Peng Wanzhou, who was talking to Shang Jianjun, then looked at Shang Hua, who was trying to appear calm, and Ge Jiangtao, whose face had darkened.

A slight smile played on her lips.

I never expected to witness such a grand spectacle while visiting my elders.

To be honest, she now thinks Peng Wanzhou is a bit better than Ge Jiangtao, but Ge Jiangtao's presence today clearly indicates that he wants to reconcile with Shang Hua. She doesn't know what Shang Hua will ultimately choose.

Zhuang Qingxiang really wanted to see the show to the end. If Shang Hua could settle down, then he probably wouldn't want to steal her husband anymore, right?

Zhuang Qingxiang thought to herself, then subconsciously glanced at Lu Congyue beside her.

Suddenly, I realized that compared to these men in military uniforms, my own man was no less impressive, and perhaps even more handsome.

She felt a little proud.

Suddenly, her thigh was touched, and Zhuang Qingxiang, who had been lost in thought, snapped back to reality and glared at Lu Congyue, who had touched her.

Lu Congyue leaned closer and whispered, "If you keep looking at me like that, I'm going to embarrass myself."

Zhuang Qingxiang's face immediately flushed, and she didn't dare to look up at anyone, afraid that someone would discover Lu Congyue's little trick.

Fortunately, Lu Congyue quickly withdrew his hand and politely chatted with the people at the table, reminiscing about the past.

Zhuang Qingxiang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly fed her two sons, while also taking the time to add vegetables to Xiao Luyue's bowl.

Ren Zhen quickly realized that she couldn't even eat while taking care of three children by herself, so she came over to help.

Zhuang Qingxiang said apologetically, "Aunt Ren, I'll get some food and take them over there to eat. I don't want to disturb your meal and conversation."

"Okay, take them to the living room. I'll prepare the food for you." Ren Zhen didn't want to keep the three children confined, and besides, the atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit awkward, and no one knew what would happen next.

Lu Congyue couldn't possibly let his elders help him, so he quickly persuaded Ren Zhen to go back home. He then helped Zhuang Qingxiang move the three children's bowls to the coffee table in the living room so that the three children could eat there.

Without Zhuang Qingxiang's attempts to soothe the three children, the atmosphere at the dinner table became increasingly strange.

Especially when Shang Hua and Peng Wanzhou took the initiative to serve each other food, Ge Jiangtao almost broke the chopsticks in his hand.

Shang sighed repeatedly in his heart.

Today we have a rare feast, but I feel like I'll have indigestion after eating it.

Finding a moment of respite, he pulled Shang Hua aside in the kitchen and whispered, "Sis, what's going on between you and Peng Wanzhou? Didn't you say you were going to get back together with your husband? What's going on?"

"Who said I wanted to get back together with him? Who gave you permission to bring him to our house?" Shang Hua questioned bluntly. "You know perfectly well that my divorce from him wasn't pleasant, so were you deliberately trying to annoy me by bringing him back?"

"Sister, I didn't, brother-in-law..."

"Who's your brother-in-law?" Shang Hua slapped Shang Hua on the head. "If you keep yelling like that, don't blame me for being rude!"

Shang Jiang was somewhat displeased upon hearing this: "Sister, you have such a bad temper, and you need to change that habit of resorting to violence so easily. If it weren't for you, I... Ge Jiangtao wouldn't be asking you for a divorce. You still haven't learned your lesson..."

"What's wrong with me? I'm perfectly fine! Besides, I'm the one who wants a divorce; it's his problem, you understand?"

Shang Hua was really infuriated by his stupid younger brother. Who was his family anyway? Why did he always side with outsiders?

"Alright, stop pretending in front of me..." Shang Jiang shook his head. "Let's not talk about anything else for now. I just want to ask you, what's the deal with Peng Wanzhou?"

Shang Hua pouted: "My parents found this partner for me."

"What?!" Shang Jiang exclaimed directly, even forgetting to lower his voice.

"What are you yelling for?" Shang Hua glared at him immediately.

Shang quickly lowered his voice and said anxiously, "Your parents are introducing Peng Wanzhou to you? My God, he's much younger than you, isn't he? I remember he's even younger than me, this... this isn't appropriate..."

Shang Hua also felt it was inappropriate, so she and Peng Wanzhou planned to vent their anger on their parents as soon as they got back from watching the show.

But by sheer coincidence, my silly brother brought Ge Jiangtao back with him.

Ge Jiangtao still had that same attitude, as if he came to give her face and was waiting for her to bow her head and admit her mistake.

She did nothing wrong! She will never admit her mistake!

So they brought Peng Wanzhou over to put on a show, hoping to make Ge Jiangtao give up and leave.

Who knew Ge Jiangtao would be so shameless as to not leave and even eat with them...

Shang Hua grew angrier the more he thought about it, and kicked Shang Jiang's shin again.

Shang Jiang cried out in pain and started jumping up and down, clutching his leg.

"Sis, what's wrong with you? I've told you you need to change this habit of hitting people all the time. Do you know that's violence?"
