Chapter 483: Chapter 483: A Family Should Be Together and Complete

In the evening, Han Jingting received a call from Ding Lijuan.

"Mom, what’s the matter?"

"Jingting, do you have time tonight to come home for dinner?"

"Dinner?" Han Jingting was taken aback.

Ever since she had been forced to leave her home, she had never returned.

Now, Ding Lijuan suddenly called, inviting her home for dinner, which caught Han Jingting by surprise.

"What, you can’t even spare the time for a meal now?"

"That’s right, you’re a big boss now, you dine with successful people, maybe your dad and I don’t qualify to join you anymore..."

Before Han Jingting could decide, Ding Lijuan began to speak in a sarcastic tone.

Han Jingting felt helpless, her own mother had spoken to such an extent, how could she dare to refuse.

"Alright, I’ll come over after work!"

Ding Lijuan was overjoyed, "Then great, we’ll see you tonight!"

After hanging up the phone, Han Jingting fell into deep thought and soon called Chen Xuan over to tell him about Ding Lijuan’s dinner invitation.

"Mom inviting you for dinner shows she wants to mend your relationship; that’s a good thing!" Chen Xuan consoled.

Han Jingting’s expression was serious, "It is a good thing, but I always feel there’s more to it than just dinner when mom asks me to come back!"

Chen Xuan smiled, "Alright, it’s just a meal, you don’t need to overthink it."

"They are our parents after all; you can’t just avoid seeing them forever, can you."

Han Jingting nodded, "Okay, you will come back with me tonight, and bring Xiaoyu along too, my parents haven’t seen her for a long time either."

In the evening, Chen Xuan’s family drove towards Fenghua Residential Area.

"Xiaoyu, it’s been a long time since you’ve seen your grandparents, are you excited?" On the way, Han Jingting asked with a smile.

Xiaoyu nodded with a smile, "Of course I’m excited! I actually really like grandma and grandpa, it’s just that grandma is a bit fierce! She’s always scolding me, and scolding mom and dad too."

"I wonder if grandma doesn’t like me? Is there something I’ve done wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Han Jingting’s smile stiffened, her expression complicated.

"Xiaoyu is so well-behaved, how could you do anything wrong? It’s just that grandma is getting older, and her mind isn’t as good. She didn’t mean to scold you."

Xiaoyu nodded seriously, "My teacher says that people do get confused when they’re old. Since that’s the case, I forgive grandma. She’s still my good friend!"

Listening to Xiaoyu’s innocent words, Han Jingting felt a wave of sorrow, and tears nearly spilled uncontrollably.

Chen Xuan in the driver’s seat also sighed involuntarily.

Their family of three, how much they wished they could live together with Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen, like an ordinary family, in harmony and love.

Unfortunately, Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen always seemed to do things that were disappointing, truly frustrating.

Half an hour later, Han Jingting and her family arrived at Fenghua Residential Area.

Returning to this home after two months, Han Jingting was filled with mixed emotions.

She finally pressed the doorbell.

The door opened, and Han Bowwen greeted them.

Seeing Han Jingting, Han Bowwen was filled with excitement and quickly invited them into the house.

"Jingting’s here, you all take a seat, I’ll go and make a few more good dishes for you!" Ding Lijuan, with an apron around her, poked her head out from the kitchen with a beaming smile.

Guo Yueling also opened her arms to the drizzle, "Xiaoyu, miss your grandma? Come and let grandma give you a big hug!"

Ding Liang even took out a set of Peppa Pig toys and winked at Xiaoyu, "Xiaoyu, look what this is? This is a special gift from your uncle, you know!"

"Peppa Pig!"

Xiaoyu had been scared by being made to cry by Guo Yueling before, but now seeing the toy, she was excited and ran over happily.

The parents went to cook while Ding Liang and Guo Yueling together tried to make Xiaoyu happy.

Watching this scene, Han Jingting felt as if she was dreaming.

Such a harmonious scene, full of love and affection, was something that only existed in dreams!

Twenty minutes later, Ding Lijuan came out of the kitchen with dishes in hand.

"I’ve kept you waiting, come on, let’s eat!"

"Jingting, try this braised pork ribs, and this Kung Pao chicken too, these are all your favorite dishes!"

Ding Lijuan called out excitedly.

Looking at the steaming dishes in front of her, Han Jingting felt a pang of heartache.

If only time could stand still at this moment, if only her parents could always be so warm to her, how wonderful that would be!

Picking up a piece of braised pork rib, the familiar taste that soaked into her taste buds instantly brought tears to Jingting’s eyes.

She remembered when she was a child, her mother would often make braised pork ribs for her.

After many years, it was still the same taste that moved Han Jingting deeply!

"How does it taste?" Ding Lijuan asked eagerly.

Han Jingting nodded, "Mmm, delicious!"

Ding Lijuan laughed proudly, "That’s great, if it’s delicious you should eat more!"

Ding Lijuan’s demeanor was completely that of a loving mother, making it hard to associate her with the overbearing, unreasonable shrew of before.

"Jingting, actually, we asked you to come here because we wanted to apologize to you."

"The things that happened before were our fault; we shouldn’t have taken the money and wasted it, nor should we have kept it from you and insisted on selling you the debt-ridden Tianhui Company!"

"We were foolish for a moment, blinded by greed, please don’t blame us!"

Ding Lijuan’s attitude was sincere, and even Han Bowwen and Ding Liang wore remorseful expressions.

Han Jingting quickly put down her chopsticks, "Mom, what are you talking about? The past is over, you shouldn’t dwell on it anymore."

"Chen Xuan and I have already moved on. Besides, no matter what, you are our parents, how could we blame you!"

Chen Xuan was quick to nod as well, "Jingting is right. Mum, there’s no need to worry about the past anymore."

Ding Lijuan was overjoyed, "I knew it, Jingting, you and Chen Xuan definitely aren’t petty people."

"So, I’m going to drink this glass, as an apology to you, and let’s let bygones be bygones!"

With that, Ding Lijuan picked up the glass on the table and drank it in one gulp.

Seeing her mother apologize with such sincerity, Han Jingting was quite surprised.

Regardless of the past, Jingting had reignited hope for her parents now.

She finally felt that their family could still live together peacefully.

However, before Han Jingting’s emotions had completely settled, she saw Ding Lijuan hesitantly begin to speak after placing the empty wine glass down, "Jingting, since we’re all a family, there’s a small favor I want to ask of you, I don’t know if you would be willing to agree?"
