"Qingyue, I have always supported you. No matter what you do, what I said just now is because of the conflicts at home from time to time. For the sake of the elderly, I thought not to worry so much, but I Ignoring your feelings.”

Shen Qingyue listened quietly to Jiang Mingyuan's words, her face still maintained a calm expression,
  But her eyes softened a little. She did not answer Jiang Mingyuan directly, but turned around and continued the work at hand.

Jiang Mingyuan looked at Shen Qingyue's back and felt a little helpless.

He knew that Shen Qingyue was not the kind of person who compromised easily.

Shen Qingyue's voice came calmly: "Mingyuan, I know your starting point is good. I respect your opinion, but I also need you to understand my position."

Jiang Mingyuan stood there quietly and said softly after being silent for a while.

"I understand, Qingyue. I will understand you better and support your decision."

Shen Qingyue didn't say anything more, just nodded gently.

Although she did not expressly forgive Jiang Mingyuan, her mood had been relieved by Jiang Mingyuan's words.

She knew that it was not easy for Jiang Mingyuan. As the eldest son of the family, he faced no less pressure and responsibilities than she did.

As the preparations for lunch came to an end, Lin Shuang's voice sounded at the kitchen door, breaking the previous silence.

"Qingyue, Mingyuan, come and eat soon."

Shen Qingyue and Jiang Mingyuan exchanged glances. Although their expressions were calm, each could feel the tension in the other's heart that had not completely dissipated.

They walked into the hall together, which had been decorated into a warm and festive dining place.

Red lanterns and Spring Festival couplets decorate the walls, adding a strong festive atmosphere.

Just as Shen Qingyue was about to sit down, a burst of noise interrupted her movements.

She looked up and saw her brother Shen He standing in the corner of the hall.

Opposite, Huang Guibing was pointing angrily at Shen He with a sharp voice.

"What's your attitude? You dare to be so presumptuous in front of your elders. It's simply uneducated!"

Shen Qingyue frowned, and a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

Seeing her family members being humiliated, she found it hard to calm down.

"Huang Guibing, please pay attention to your words. Although my Xiaohe is young, he still has his own position and dignity. As an elder, he should set an example instead of making random accusations."

Huang Guibing's voice rose and was full of accusations.

"Shen He bumped into me and didn't even apologize. What kind of education is this?"

Shen He stood there with an expressionless face and said nothing.

Shen Qingyue was just about to speak to defend her brother, when an unexpected voice interrupted.

Dongdong stood next to Shen He and whispered.

"My aunt lied. What I saw was that Aunt Huang hit Uncle Shen."

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

Everyone's eyes were focused on little Dongdong, but his childish voice revealed a firmness that could not be ignored.

Huang Guibing faced Dongdong and retorted angrily: "What are you kidding?"

Shen Qingyue's eyes became even colder.

The atmosphere became more tense at this moment.

Huang Guibing's expression changed. She obviously did not expect that Shen Qingyue would confront him so directly and resolutely.

She glanced around, seemed to realize her situation, and finally cursed angrily.

Then he didn't continue to argue, turned around and walked away to the dining table.

At this moment, Shen Qingyue's expression was calm, but a trace of imperceptible satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

In the tense atmosphere, Shen He suddenly spoke. Although his voice was indifferent, it contained a hint of imperceptible warmth.

"Thank you."

Shen Qingyue was a little surprised when she heard this, and she even wondered if she heard it wrong. She turned to Shen He with a trace of inquiry in her eyes, as if she wanted to confirm his words again.

Shen He noticed Shen Qingyue's gaze and responded with displeasure.

"I'm not telling you, I'm just thanking Dongdong."

When Shen Qingyue heard this, she couldn't help but chuckle.

Although Shen He usually gave people the impression of being cold and even a little repulsive to her, this time his gratitude to Dongdong revealed the softness of his heart.

A trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed across Shen He's face.

He coughed lightly, seemed a little embarrassed, and spoke quickly.

"I'll help serve the food."

After saying that, he quickly left the hall, as if to escape some embarrassing atmosphere.

Shen Qingyue looked at Shen He's hurried back, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of her mouth.

She turned to Jiang Mingyuan with a gentle humor in her eyes.

Jiang Mingyuan looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

They had no words, but they could both feel the warmth in each other's hearts.

Taking Dongdong with them, they walked to the dining table together. Shen Qingyue arranged Dongdong's seat and then sat next to Jiang Mingyuan.

On the dining table, the dishes are arranged neatly and attractively, and various aromas are intertwined, creating a warm atmosphere of home.

Just as Shen Qingyue was about to start eating, she felt a sharp gaze.

She looked up and saw Huang Gui glaring coldly at her.

Shen Qingyue did not avoid it, but looked at her calmly, without any intention of shrinking in his eyes.

Huang Guibing seemed a little discouraged when she saw Shen Qingyue being so determined, but she still gritted her teeth and turned away unwillingly.

Jiang Mingyuan noticed all this. He gently grabbed Shen Qingyue's hand and gave her a reassuring look, which seemed to tell her that no matter what happened, he would support her.

The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became more relaxed, the families began to talk about interesting things in daily life, and the children's laughter also sounded from time to time.

Shen Qingyue listened to her family's conversation and looked at the happy Dongdong, and her heart was filled with warmth.

After lunch, Jiang Mingyuan took the initiative to take up the task of washing dishes.

At this time, Lin Shuang came out holding the baby, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Several daughters-in-law gathered around, looking at the cute baby with eyes full of love.

"Whose little baby is this? It's so cute!"

Liu Fanglian stepped forward, her attitude of looking higher than her head seemed to have softened at this moment.

"Her name is Qiqi, she is our little princess." Lin Shuang introduced with a smile.

"What a nice name. Let me tease her."

Huang Guibing reached out to hug Qiqi, with a hint of calculation in her eyes.

Lin Shuang hesitated, but still handed Qiqi to Huang Guibing.

The fourth sister-in-law, Li Huimin, also came over.

"Qiqi, smile for Auntie." Li Huimin teased Qiqi gently.

Shen Qingyue stood aside, observing all this, and spoke with a smile.

"Qiqi is such an angel, our little baby."

Lin Shuang's face was full of maternal love and she spoke softly.

Zhou Guifang walked out of the house at this time, her eyes swept across the busy yard, and finally stopped on Lin Shuang and Shen Qingyue.
