Chapter 411: The recipient
"It’s still in the library of the Old Ji Mansion."
Lanni thought about it and suggested, "Let’s go and have dinner with your parents tomorrow."
Her intention was obvious, and it had been long since his parents saw her. Naturally, they would be jubilant.
Hence, the following day, Xiehan picked her up from work and they went to the Ji Mansion together.
That evening, Xiehan and Lanni were not the only guests.
Uncle Yun had wanted to catch up with Ji Huifen so he dragged his wife along. Since they were Xiehan’s parents after all, Ji Meiling put behind their conflicts and agreed to dine with them.
However, neither Ji Meiling nor Wen Lin was comfortable with each other’s presence. It was not unexpected. Back then, a battle had threatened to break out when Ji Meiling insisted that she would take his nephew back with her. She had almost fallen out with her brother as well, and it was only when their late mother intervened that she was able to take Xiehan away. As a result, she and Wen Lin no longer saw eye to eye.
To prevent the awkwardness, Ji Huifen talked about Xiehan—a common topic for all of them.
"You rarely bring my daughter-in-law back. Are you trying to make sure I’m bored to death?" Wen Lin complained unhappily.
Xiehan grinned. "Isn’t she here now?"
The woman was not pacified. "Who knows how long it will take for you to think about me again."
