After the waiter served the dishes, Ji Yanli never stopped using his chopsticks to pick up food for Lin Xu, and even put on disposable gloves to peel the lobster for her.

"Don't think I will forgive you if you do this." Lin Xu took a bite of lobster and said angrily.

Ji Yanli chuckled and put the freshly peeled lobster into her bowl. "The pair of shoes you ordered before has arrived. Can you ask them to bring it to you tomorrow?"

Lin Xu's eyes lit up, but he quickly suppressed the joy on his face and glanced to the side.

Ji Tingyang raised his head and glanced at Ji Yanli who was coaxing Lin Xu. His mind recalled what the secretary said - "Xie Changyan is the heir of the Xie Group. His parents died in a car accident a few years ago. His father and mother were..."

Xie Changyan met his parents when he was a child. If he was really Ji Yanli's illegitimate son, he would definitely have reacted when he saw Ji Yanli just now.

And if Xie Changyan’s age wasn’t right, Ji Tingyang probably wouldn’t have dispelled his doubts so easily.

But are there really people in this world who look so similar?

Ji Tingyang was still in amazement, and the chopsticks in his hand stopped involuntarily.

Who knew that he was only distracted for a few minutes and Lin Xu had already been coaxed into submission by Ji Yanli.

"You can get my forgiveness if you want it, but just behave better in the next few days. After the probation period, if you do a good job, I will make you a regular employee. Otherwise, I will fire you." Lin Xu threatened secretly like a capitalist.

Ji Yanli chuckled, "Okay, I will work hard and strive to become a regular employee as soon as possible."

Seeing that the two had finally reconciled, Ji Tingyang also smiled and picked up a piece of meat for Lin Xu.

Lin Xu was eating when she suddenly remembered something. She looked up and said to Ji Tingyang, "By the way, your grandparents will be back from their trip in a couple of days. If you have time, please drive me to the airport to pick them up."

"Okay, I'm free these days." Ji Tingyang responded.

"After picking them up, send them to the Ji family and let them stay at home for a few days." Lin Xu felt a little nostalgic.

She hadn't seen her parents for several months and suddenly missed them.

Ji Tingyang nodded.

……

Long time no see.

When Lin Xu saw the two of them coming out of the airport, wearing bright red clothes and looking radiant, she almost didn't recognize them.

"Mom, how come you've become younger after not seeing you for a few months? If a few more months pass, people will think we are sisters when they see us." Lin Xu took Tang Biqin's hand and said with a smile.

Hearing her words, Tang Biqin's smile deepened, "How can it be so exaggerated."

Lin Xu coaxed Tang Biqin into a good mood, and the two of them walked out of the airport arm in arm.

Perhaps because Lin Xu was really happy, she put it down and announced the good news to the two of them.

"To celebrate your return from your trip, I'm going to cook you a big meal tonight!"

As soon as Lin Xu finished speaking, the faces of the three people on the field suddenly stiffened.

Thinking of Lin Xu's cooking skills, a painful memory emerged in the minds of the three people at the same time.

Tang Biqin immediately said, "Let me do it."

"You must be tired after sitting on the plane for several hours. How can I let you cook?" Lin Xu said.

"It's okay, I'm not tired at all, and I learned a new dish outside, which is a good opportunity for you to try." Tang Biqin's tone seemed to be filled with unprecedented firmness.

"Okay." Seeing Tang Biqin insisted, Lin Xu felt a little regretful, but still nodded in agreement.

After hearing this, Ji Tingyang and Lin's father finally let go of their worries and breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning to Ji's house, Tang Biqin took out the gifts from the suitcase and gave one to each of the three children, and also gave Ji Yanli a watch.

When it was Lin Xu's turn, she looked at the talisman paper folded into a triangle in her hand and blinked.

"Mom, aren't you too perfunctory to your daughter? They bought clothes and watches, but why is it that when it's my turn, I only get this piece of paper?" Lin Xu pouted in dissatisfaction.

"This talisman is a lucky charm I got for you in the temple. It will keep you safe and healthy." Tang Biqin glared at her. "The locals say that the temple is very powerful. Your father and I got it especially for you. Remember to bring it with you wherever you go in the future."

Although it has been twenty years since Lin Xu and Ji Yanli had the car accident, they are still frightened.

Later, whenever she had the chance, Tang Biqin would go to the temple to pray for her and buy some amulets or jade pendants.

Although Lin Xu was skeptical about this, thinking that it was a token of his parents' love for him, he did not refuse them and put the talisman away.

In the evening, Tang Biqin really did as she said and cooked a table full of delicious dishes for Lin Xu, which were really delicious.

"Grandma, your cooking skills are so good, why didn't mom inherit any of them?" Ji Lanyue slipped up and blurted out what was in her heart.

The next second, Lin Xu glared at him angrily, "Ji Lanyue, is the food I cooked not delicious?!"

Ji Lanyue's body shuddered, and her head shook like a rattle, "How could it be! Mother's cooking is the most delicious, I love it the most!"

"It's so delicious. I'll cook for you tomorrow at noon." Lin Xu said.

Ji Lanyue's expression froze, and he looked stiffly at Ji Yanli for help, "Father..."

Ji Yanli laughed, "I can't help you either."

Ji Lanyue's cheeks suddenly drooped and her eyebrows drooped down, making her look a little funny.

A few suppressed laughs were heard at the table.

It was not until the meal started that Lin Xu noticed that there was an extra dessert on the table.

"Why are there still pumpkin pie?" Lin Xu wondered.

"I saw there was some pumpkin in the kitchen, so I made a few cakes for you. I remember you were clamoring to eat some, but unfortunately you didn't get to eat them in the end..." Tang Biqin's voice became weaker and weaker, and she stopped before she finished speaking.

Although Tang Biqin didn't say it, Lin Xu knew the reason.

Just the day before Tang Biqin was going to make pumpkin pie for her, they had a car accident.

Tang Biqin was busy taking care of her in the hospital, so she naturally forgot about the pumpkin pie. Later, Lin Xu was also busy educating her three children, so she also didn't think about it.

Not to mention it’s just a piece of pumpkin pie.

But she never expected that after 20 years, she would be able to eat the pumpkin pie made by her mother again.

Lin Xu picked up a piece of pumpkin pie with chopsticks and took a light bite.

The fragrance and sweetness of the pumpkin pie spreads in the mouth, bringing with it an existing fragrance that leaves a lasting aftertaste.

It turns out this is what the pumpkin pie I didn’t get to eat twenty years ago tasted like.

Lin Xu felt a sour taste at the tip of her nose, and with red eyes, she lowered her head and took a bite of the pumpkin pie.

Really delicious.
