"Muuuuuum..." Lin Yuzhen dragged her words out. "Can't you show some concern for your daughter?"
"Get some food for your daughter?"
"Have a drink with your daughter?"
Su Mei and Lin Wen both looked at Lin Yuzhen.
"The food's right in front of you. Take some yourself."
"Girls shouldn't drink so much, I won't drink with you."
Lin Yuzhen pouted and looked angrily at Jiang Ning.
"Come along now, your hubby will take care of you, alright? I'll take food for you and have a drink with you, ok?" Jiang Ning quickly replied with a grin on his face.
Lin Yuzhen had to admit defeat.
Jiang Ning's position in the house was higher than hers now.
After they had eaten, Su Mei dragged Lin Yuzhen into the kitchen to wash the dishes and chat with her.
"Jiang Ning, let's have a chat?” said Lin Wen with a smile.
"Sure."
They walked to the balcony. Lin Wen stuck his head back into the house to check, then put two fingers up.
"Give me one."
Jiang Ning took a pack of cigarettes out from his pocket and passed one to Lin Wen. "Dad, don't smoke so much."
"I just have one every now and then," laughed Lin Wen. "I've been so busy lately and I've been feeling rather stressed."
Jiang Ning knew that there were only those few things that men did to destress, so he didn't deny Lin Wen the cigarette.
He lit the cigarette for Lin Wen. He knew Lin Wen wanted to talk to him.
Jiang Ning didn't say anything. They stood quietly at the balcony until they had both finished smoking.
"What are your future plans?"
"What future plans?"
"Future plans - surely a grown man like you can't stick around Yuzhen all day, right?"
"That's exactly what I plan to do."
Lin Wen looked at Jiang Ning and Jiang Ning nodded seriously.
After a brief moment of silence, Lin Wen nodded and said, "Don't you dare bully my Yuzhen."
