Chapter 680: Sharing a Pillow after Divorce 2_1
The first thing He Da did when he got home was to take a bath with pomelo leaves, a village custom believed to ward off evil spirits. While he was bathing, Zhilan was busy in the kitchen with her aunt. It was the first grand family reunion for the He family after many years. Therefore, He Zhongguo had prepared a multitude of dishes to celebrate the occasion.
In the kitchen, He Hongmei glanced at He Zhilan, her words stuck in her throat. Liang Tao had already told her about the situation, so He Zhilan’s matters had been troubling her these past few days. However, upon seeing Zhilan smiling cheerfully as she prepared dinner, she refrained from questioning her further.
No matter what, He Zhilan’s heart belonged to the He family. That was more important than anything else.
They had originally thought they were raising an ungrateful child, but in the end, it was Zhilan who brought He Da back to the He family. He Hongmei thought that based on this act alone, even if Zhilan were to leave the He family in the future, no one could blame her. This debt of gratitude had been repaid.
The dinner was the richest they’ve had in years. He Zhongguo had prepared every single dish that He Da loved, urging him to eat more and more.
At the dinner table, Liang Jing was drawn in by everyone’s faces. Although she found He Da somewhat unfamiliar now, she still remembered her kind elder cousin. Hence, she too was delighted at his return.
However, since she knew He Teng better, she found herself looking at him more often. She giggled behind her hand every time she saw He Teng sneak glances at Zhilan.
