Chapter 436: Chapter 435: Anyway, It Won’t Hurt Them

Luo Ning had agreed to go to the Luo Family only after seeing the message hidden within the lobster.

Today, after receiving the seafood, Lei Qiu told her that his dad had said she’d best deal with the largest lobster right away, or it wouldn’t be fresh or tasty.

Luo Ning felt there was a deeper meaning to these words, so she decided to slice open the largest lobster.

It was inside the belly of the lobster that she found this wad of paper.

The writing on the paper was not only in her dad’s handwriting but also carried his scent, proving it wasn’t an imitation.

A father knows his children best; Old Man Luo knew that her dad considered her and her mother as his weaknesses.

And a child knows their father just as well; her dad must have known that Old Man Luo himself had come to the Imperial Capital and guessed what he was planning, hence he had used Old Lei to send this message.

Her dad must have his own reasons for wanting them to visit the Luo Family; at any rate, he wouldn’t harm them.

Since her dad had asked them to go, then they might as well.

She believed that her dad wanting them to return to the Luo Family was not a matter of compromising with or showing filial piety to the elderly couple, but rather it was time to put an end to things.

After all, her dad would definitely not stand to see her mom bullied by that old lady.

Jiang Xinxin agreed unconditionally with her husband, "Then let’s go."

With her husband and children by her side, she wouldn’t be afraid even if she was stepping into a dragon’s den or a tiger’s cave.

Moreover, the Luo Family wasn’t exactly a dangerous place – if her mother-in-law wanted to flaunt her authority, she’d have to see if she was willing to play along.

Luo Ning clasped her mother’s hand, "When the time comes, our whole family will return together."

Jiang Xinxin gripped her daughter’s hand in return, "Alright."

Luo Xi’s eyes were full of smiles, "I’ll finally get to see Dad soon."

Although it had been several years since they’d seen each other, his memory of his dad was not only undiminished but very profound.

Luo Ning reached out and pinched her little brother’s face, "That’s right, when the time comes, let Dad take you to have a good time on the island."

Her brother had grown so much, yet due to health reasons, he hadn’t been out to sea yet.

Luo Xi’s eyes shone even brighter, "Yes, yes!"

Qi Yuelan had initially been worried that the old lady would bully her friend, but now it seemed that she was just a white lotus who only knew how to use schemes and was no good at arguing.

As long as Luo Yicheng didn’t fall for it, the Old White Lotus wouldn’t have a chance to show off.

She smiled and said, "After so many years, you and your husband will finally be reunited."

Jiang Xinxin’s eyes were tender, filled with a touch of longing, "Yes, we’ll finally meet soon."

Luo Ning proceeded to prepare the seafood while several ladies also entered the kitchen to help.

Lu Xun and Ji Xinghang also had a rare moment sitting together, chatting calmly and amiably.

On the other side, in the car.

After getting in the car, Family Head Luo’s smile had faded.

Seeing his wife’s aggrieved expression, he reached out to soothe her by wrapping his arm around her shoulder, "Don’t be angry; we only have one son, let’s not lose sight of the bigger picture."

He initially hadn’t stopped his wife from targeting Jiang Xinxin because he wanted to see what kind of person his daughter-in-law was.

As expected, a mother who could raise a strong-willed and sharp-tongued daughter like Luo Ning was certainly not weak in character.

Today, to achieve his goal, he had put his wife through it.

In the future, of course, he wouldn’t want to see her offend when they would have to live together on the island.

Of course, there was also no need to confront Jiang Xinxin directly, risking driving his son away; it would be better to keep the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law apart as much as possible.

Lady Luo knew how to win over Family Head Luo; she leaned on his shoulder, her eyes reddening, "I’ve endured all this for you and our son; otherwise, which daughter-in-law would mock her mother-in-law?"

"When your mother didn’t like me, didn’t I endure it too?"

"She took Yicheng and his sister to her side to raise them, and as much as I missed them, I never defied my mother-in-law."

"If it weren’t for the fact that the two kids didn’t grow up by my side, they wouldn’t have become estranged from me."

She couldn’t hold back her tears as she spoke of this.

It was all the doing of that wicked mother-in-law of hers, separating her from her own flesh and blood.

Family Head Luo rubbed his temples in slight headache, "Alright, no more getting upset, after you go back this time, pay more attention to Yicheng and his sister. There can’t be any overnight grudges between mother and child."

"Once Luo Ning and Luo Xi return to the Luo Family, be more tolerant towards the kids. Now, they’re the only grandchildren we have."

Otherwise, how else could they keep their son?

He had come to realize that the more force he used, the more his rebellious son would resist. It would be better to take a softer approach and play the card of familial affection, to boil the frog in warm water.

Lady Luo dabbed at her tears with a handkerchief, "Understood."

After she returned, indeed, she would have to be better to her son and couldn’t let that woman charm him away.

As for her grandson Luo Xi, she would also groom him. They could no longer allow Jiang Xinxin and Luo Ning to lead him astray.

When it came to her daughter, she didn’t think she had done anything wrong.

Which man out there could compare to Lei Lifei, the future head of the Lei Family? She had painstakingly found a good marriage for her daughter, but that rebellious girl insisted on going against her.

She couldn’t bring herself to lay a hand on her daughter, so she had to take action against that man.

Little did she know, not only was her daughter unappreciative, but she also grew to hate her and, in a fit of pique, ran back to her maternal home after falling out with Lei Lifei.

After all, she was her own flesh and blood. She felt humiliated but had no choice but to accept it.

Letting her daughter stay at the Luo Family was already her bottom line; she certainly wouldn’t be the first to swallow her pride.

Thinking back on the rebelliousness of the twin siblings, her heart ached. Her once good son and daughter had been corrupted by that damned old hag; she was filled with hatred!

But, of course, she would never say this to her husband.

Family Head Luo felt relieved seeing her relent; his wife had always known her limits.

Thinking of Lu Xun he had seen at the Siheyuan that day, he squinted his eyes.

The relationship between Luo Ning and Lu Xun was indeed not simple.

He had been swayed by his wife and Lou Yinghua before, which had led to Luo Ning harboring such resentment towards the Luo Family.

Now, he not only needed to win back his son’s heart but also needed to secure Luo Ning’s loyalty.

He could not let Lu Xun become hostile towards the Luo Family because of Luo Ning. If Lu Xun stirred up trouble above them, it wouldn’t bode well for the Luo Family.

If Luo Ning knew about Family Head Luo’s thoughts, she would probably sigh and say that he truly was an old fox capable of being a family head, able to bend and stretch. Unfortunately for him, she wasn’t stupid and wouldn’t fall for it.

In the Siheyuan, everyone who had finished the seafood found it lingeringly delicious, truly too delectable.

Mr. Ji even lamented that all the seafood he had eaten over the years paled in comparison.

When leaving, Luo Ning gifted the Ji Family some seafood. Qi Yuelan did not refuse.

They left first, while Luo Ning walked Lu Xun to the door, handing him a box of seafood that was still being packed.

"Take these back with you, let your dad and the others try them."

As Lu Xun’s father was getting older, eating some of these spiritually energic seafood would be beneficial for his health.

"My dad will definitely love it," Lu Xun leaned in to kiss the corner of her lips and smiled.

He said, "Accompany me home in a few days, okay?"

His father had been longing to meet his daughter-in-law for a long while now.

Before, it was because they hadn’t confirmed their relationship, and he was afraid Luo Ning would leave, so he didn’t bring her to the Lu Family.

Now that their relationship was confirmed, and he had met Luo Ning’s mother, it was time to take Luo Ning to meet his family.

This was also a confirmation of Luo Ning within the Lu Family and to others.

Luo Ning didn’t refuse, "Sounds good, you pick the time."
