Chapter 670: Chapter 670: Ate Too Much of Her Food

After Rong’s mother learned about it, her demeanor towards her grew even colder, and she secretly advised Rong Shaoze to give up on Lin Xinlan, to break up with her, and not to be with her anymore.

Rong Shaoze just kept a cold face and said indifferently, "Mom, please don’t worry about my matters."

No matter what Rong’s mother said, his attitude remained ’this is my matter, so please don’t interfere,’ which infuriated Rong’s mother so much that she really wanted to scold him harshly.

Xiaocong also knew that there were problems between his mom and dad’s relationship.

But aside from trying hard to make mom and dad happy, there was nothing else he could do.

From his perspective, the adult world really was too complicated.

Lin Xinlan, as usual, applied makeup every day. When she had free time during the day, she would go online to research makeup techniques. In just a short span of three days, her makeup skills had improved by leaps and bounds, even surpassing those of professional makeup artists.

It must be said, people are forged through adversity.

If it had been before, she wouldn’t have learned how to apply makeup in years.

But now it was different. Every moment, she pondered makeup techniques, focusing on how to conceal the signs of aging on her face; naturally, she became proficient quite quickly.

And her appetite remained robust.

Since her body was aging rapidly, there was never enough nutrition, so her body function automatically craved more nutrients, and she could only eat more food to maintain the scant nutrition that hardly stayed in her body.

Even though she and Rong Shaoze slept in separate rooms now, they still ate meals at the same table.

When Lin Xinlan finished her third bowl of rice, Rong Shaoze’s bowl was less than half eaten.

For the past couple of days, he had been very silent, eating little, barely half a bowl per meal before he couldn’t eat anymore.

Rong’s mother observed all this.

The stark contrast between Lin Xinlan’s voracious appetite and Rong Shaoze’s poor appetite caught her attention.

The more she looked at it, the more it irked her.

Why couldn’t her son eat, while Lin Xinlan managed to eat so much?

Just as Lin Xinlan was about to serve herself a fourth bowl of rice, Rong’s mother smacked her chopsticks down on the table with a snap.

She looked at her coldly, not saying a word.

That expression clearly conveyed that she thought Lin Xinlan was eating too much of her food.

Facing such an attitude, Lin Xinlan naturally didn’t dare to eat anymore.

She put down her chopsticks and smiled as if nothing was amiss, "I’m full now, you guys take your time."

Xiaocong knew she hadn’t eaten her fill; he really wanted to urge her to eat more, but his grandmother’s expression was so frightening that he didn’t dare to make a sound.

Rong Shaoze took her bowl, filled it up for her, and said flatly, "Finish this bowl."

Lin Xinlan glanced hesitantly at Rong’s mother, who abruptly stood up, dissatisfied, "Doing nothing all day, just living off others!"

With that, she turned and walked away.

Lin Xinlan was stunned. To say she wasn’t upset would be a lie, but she didn’t show anything on her face.

Rong Shaoze’s brow furrowed slightly. It was as if he were comforting her, but also explaining, "I know you haven’t eaten much; it’s just that this bowl is too small. I’ll have someone switch to a bigger bowl for meals tomorrow."

"No need, this is fine," Lin Xinlan smiled faintly at him, "The lady is right; I am indeed freeloading. Perhaps..."

"Who says you’re freeloading!" The man interrupted her discontentedly, his voice low, "What you eat, what you use, it’s all Xiaocong’s money. Xiaocong is your son. You raised him. Now it’s only right for him to provide for you. My mom has been in a bad mood lately, just ignore her."
