Jiang Tong was thinking, if Zhuang Lianhai posted the photos he took on his social account, what would happen if Li Jingchen saw them?

Thinking of asking Zhuang Lianhai to delete the photos.

I think forget it again...

How can she control everything and limit other people's freedom to post or take photos? What's more, she has been involved in her company.

Besides, Li Jingchen definitely couldn’t see Zhuang Lianhai’s updates, it couldn’t be such a coincidence.

Jiang Tong went to the mall to buy vegetables. She bought cabbage, steak, and beef for three hundred yuan per pound. When she returned to Ziwei Garden, Dong Yalan saw Jiang Tong coming back alone.

"Mianyang and Feifan are with Li Jingchen. They will come over soon. I will come back to make dumplings."

"Then why did you buy so much stuff? It's just us and your brother. I've already prepared the stuffing."

Jiang Tong walked in, changed her shoes and said, "You make yours. Li Jingchen likes to eat cabbage and beef dumplings. I'll make his portion."

Dong Yalan looked at Jiang Tong with a strange look in her eyes, "Can you make dumplings?"

"Why can't I do it? I wrapped it well last year, but it just didn't look very pretty."

She washed her hands and said, "Mom, please teach me. I want to make it more beautiful this year."

At least he will come over later and I'll have an appetite for dumplings, right?

If the food doesn’t look good, you won’t want to eat it.

Dong Yalan sighed and said speechlessly, "Then you can prepare the fillings and wrap it for him separately."

"Okay." Jiang Tong had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she made dumplings and cooked with Dong Yalan.

After a while, Dong Yunze came back. He was brought here by his friend Meng Kai. Meng Kai gave him some New Year's goods and left. He wanted to ask him to stay for dinner, but he said no, and he was going back to his hometown.

Dong Yunze washed his hands and walked over with a cane. "You are all making dumplings. Let me help."

Dong Yunze wanted to help Jiang Tong, but Jiang Tong was anxiously protecting the stuffing she had chopped. No, no, no!

"Brother, go help mom, I'll do this myself!"

Dong Yalan turned around and explained, "Your sister wanted to pack Xiaojing herself and wouldn't let us touch it!"

Dong Yunze smiled and said, "That's incredible. When Li comes over later, he will be so moved that he will cry."

"Brother, stop teasing me. It's not that exaggerated. I have nothing to do today. I'm just making dumplings out of boredom."

Jiang Tong was wrapping dumplings very seriously, pinching one at a time. There were a few dumplings that didn't look good, so she planned to keep them for herself as she didn't want to embarrass herself by showing them off.

I made about thirty of them, which was enough. I also made a few small ones like glutinous rice balls for Mingyang to eat.

Time passed quickly. In the evening, the sound of firecrackers could be heard outside. Although fireworks were not allowed in the community, many people still set them off secretly for the sake of festivity and excitement.

Dong Yalan was busy cooking other dishes in the kitchen. Jiang Tong went to the windowsill from time to time, but didn't see Li Jingchen's car. It was already seven o'clock, and he hadn't come yet.

Dong Yunze saw Jiang Tong's anxiety and said, "Tongtong, why don't you give Li a call and ask him why he hasn't come yet?"

"No need to call, he said he would come today."

"Really? So maybe his mom came back and he was delayed by accompanying her relatives?"

Hearing this, before Jiang Tong could say anything, Dong Yalan in the kitchen heard it and said viciously, "If his mother comes back, he'd better not come. I don't want to quarrel on New Year's Day."

Jiang Tong said, "His mother won't come back."

Dong Yalan continued to turn around, "Oh, it's okay if you don't come back. I don't want to see his mother's face."

"I'm back, I'm back!" Wen Ya was jumping on the balcony, "I saw Ming Yang, I'm going out to find Ming Yang——"

Wen Ya ran away from Jiang Tong. Jiang Tong hurried to the balcony and saw the familiar Maybach.

Li Jingchen kept his promise and sent the two children back tonight.

Jiang Mingyang took a bunch of things in large and small bags, and was holding a toy he bought for Wen Ya in his hand.

Dong Yunze walked to the door with a cane, smiling, "Li, I've been waiting for you, come in."

"Mingyang said he was buying a gift for his aunt and was delayed by traffic jam on the way." Li Jingchen and Dong Yunze explained politely, and Dong Yunze said it was okay.

"My mom and Tongtong spent the whole afternoon making dumplings. You like beef and cabbage, right?"

"I won't eat here anymore," Li Jingchen said politely, "I have something else to do at home, I'll go back and eat."

"Let's eat before we leave. Your portion was made by Tongtong herself."

Dong Yunze's words finally made Li Jingchen look at Jiang Tong.

He seemed to hesitate for a moment.

Jiang Mingyang was talking to Wen Ya, "Hey, this is the first New Year I spend with my parents!"

Dong Yunze heard this and said, "Look how happy Yangyang is. Let's stay here for dinner. It's so nice to have a family reunion."

Li Jingchen finally agreed and came in.

He still didn't look at Jiang Tong. Dong Yalan came out from the kitchen and Li Jingchen greeted her politely.

Dong Yalan wiped her hands and said nothing else, "Come and eat, the food is ready. Tongtong, turn on the TV and let's watch the Spring Festival Gala. I haven't watched it in years."

Jiang Tong turned on the TV and the Spring Festival Gala had just started.

Today is New Year's Day, it's a festive day. In front of the children, the adults didn't say anything unhappy or unpleasant.

Li Jingchen ate in silence without saying much. He had already eaten two-thirds of the dumplings that Jiang Tong made for him. Jiang Tong couldn't help but ask him, how did they taste?

"It's delicious." Li Jingchen didn't ignore Jiang Tong, but his expression was still a little distant.

"I was afraid you wouldn't have enough, so I packed thirty for you."

"That's enough." Li Jingchen said calmly.

Jiang Tong moved her lips, wanting to say something, but ultimately did not speak again.

"Mom, look, I ate a coin..." Jiang Mingyang leaned in Jiang Tong's arms and showed off to her. Jiang Tong smiled and praised him for being so awesome and said he would make a fortune next year.

Dong Yalan was shocked. "When you mentioned money, I remembered that Yuan Gang called and said that he returned the gift to us and put a red envelope in it. He said it was for Wen Ya. Where is the money?"

"Really? I didn't know he gave a red envelope. The gift box is in the car and I haven't taken it out yet."

Jiang Tong glanced in the direction of Li Jingchen from the corner of her eye and saw that his face looked not very good.

Dong Yalan added, "He was so polite. He said it was given by his godson. Take a look—"

"Stop talking." Jiang Tong frowned.

Dong Yalan was confused, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Tong said that she didn't want to talk about this topic while eating.

"Auntie, I'm full. I have something else to do at home, so I'll leave first."

Li Jingchen stood up, and Dong Yalan stood up politely, saying, "Are you leaving now?" Li Jingchen nodded, said a few words to Ming Yang, and left first.

Jiang Tong wiped her hands and said quickly, "You guys eat, I'll go see him off."

She was just waiting for such an opportunity to talk to Li Jingchen alone.
