C998 One Less Person
Therefore, Lih Xiaoning held Bai Xianxian's hand and walked in front of her. His face was full of beauty.
When Bai Xianxian heard that Yeh Xi was urging Lingmei and Ji Yichen, she did not worry too much.
Maybe there was a traffic jam on the road.
But when she thought about it this way, she felt that she was comforting herself.
The traffic in T City had always been huge, and there was also a traffic jam during holidays. However, at this time of the day, there would definitely not be a traffic jam.
Yes, every year after New Year, the people in the city would pack big and small bags with New Year goods. They would go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year. So, the New Year's in City T is more like an empty city. When she came, there were pitifully few cars on the road. It was impossible for her to get a car stuffed.
When she thought of this, Bai Xianxian's eyelids inexplicably twitched.
Or perhaps her eyelids only twitched by reflex. It must be that she thought too much.
Lingmei just happened to have something to do, so she arrived late.
This sister-in-law of hers... Regardless of whether it was before or after her illness recovered, even when she was thinking about it or when she was a child, she would still treat others politely. It made her like it very much, and the relationship between her and her sister-in-law also became deeper and deeper.
With this in mind, Bai Xianxian did not continue to ask. And Lih Lingye who was behind her had heard the entire conversation between the mother and son and naturally did not think that he would rush Lingmei to come over.
When they went downstairs, the whole family sat in front of the dining table one after another. Naturally, they were divided into smaller families and sat next to each other. Lih Xiaoning was sitting next to Lih Lingye. Lih Yu naturally sat next to Lih Xiaoning. Although the two little guys were different years old, they could still have fun together.
Bai Xianxian followed Lih Lee and his family and sat down.
However, just as they sat down, the old man appeared and shouted towards the dining table, "Lingmei is not here yet. Let's eat later."
Uh, what he meant was that as long as Lingmei didn't come, they couldn't eat first.
The old man was obviously in love with his granddaughter.
He only had one granddaughter in total, so naturally he was in great pain.
Even when Lingmei was sick in the past, he was also in great pain. Furthermore, Lingmei had already recovered from her illness. He did not want to mess around anymore. He doted on that granddaughter even more.
With the old man's order, no one would be able to stay in front of the dining table and wait for the food to start.
If they sat on the dining chair again, they would truly be insensible.
Thus, the people of the big family returned to their original appearance. They sat on the sofa and chatted, the little one played like crazy, and the scattered hall was divided into several groups, looking especially lively.
Yes, after the New Year, they would pay special attention to it. They would be able to reunite with their second son. As long as the family was together, Bai Xianxian would be happy to eat pickled vegetables for every meal.
However, with the current condition of Lih family, how could they eat pickled vegetables for every meal? Lih Lingye really wanted to pluck a star for her to play with and spoil Bai Xianxian. It was too late. How could they give her pickled vegetables?
Pregnant women always ate whatever they wanted, and Lih Lingye had always been willing to do so.
Even if Bai Xianxian wanted him to pluck the sun now, he would not hesitate to pluck it.
Lih Lee saw Lih Lingye holding Bai Xianxian to the sofa and winked at his wife Yao Hong. Yao Hong reached out and pulled Bai Xianxian's wrist. "Xianxian, sit beside me. I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's chat."
Bai Xianxian looked down at the hand holding her wrist and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Yes, very uncomfortable.
But she wanted to break free. She felt that it was a gesture to brush away Lih Lee's feelings. It was an act of disrespect towards Lih Lee.
Although Lih Lee did not live here right now, he was still a very important person in the old man's heart.
"Mmm, you guys talk." Lih Lee said in agreement.
After Lih Lee said that, Bai Xianxian would not go to Yao Hong's side anymore. She would not give Lih Lee any face. That kind of scene would definitely be very awkward.
However, just as Bai Xianxian was about to walk over, she was pulled by Lih Lingye and was easily brought in front of him. After that, he pressed her down and sat beside him.
This showed no intention of letting Bai Xianxian sit beside Yao Hong.
Therefore, Lih Lingye's appearance directly interrupted Lih Lee's thoughts about Bai Xianxian.
He believed that it was definitely not familial love. It looked like they were close, but in fact, they were not close at all.
The feeling in his heart was completely different from what he saw on the surface.
Yao Hong was a little embarrassed, but when she faced Lih Lingye, she did not say anything else.
She could only let Bai Xianxian sit beside Lih Lingye and did not sit beside her.
"Lingye, look at you. Your aunt just wants to get closer to Xianxian."
Lih Lingye did not think it was a big deal. "Mom, speaking like this is also close." He did not want to think about it anymore. He really could not stand it.
Yeh Xi choked. She could only wait there with a black face and speak on the spot.
The old man also joined their team and began to chat with each other.
Bai Xianxian quietly sat beside Lih Lingye and listened to everyone talk one after another. Listening to this kind of gossip, she actually did not dislike it.
Actually, it was quite interesting to chat like this.
Of course, the prerequisite was that she was calm and her thoughts were ahead of time.
At this moment, Bai Xianxian's heart was not calm at all. She inexplicably thought of Lingmei, "Let me call Lingmei." She was older than Lingmei. At this moment, she was really worried about Lingmei, whom she had not seen for a long time.
"Okay, I will call." Lih Lingye, who was following closely behind Bai Xianxian, immediately volunteered. If his wife wanted to call Lingmei, then he would call.
Actually, he was also worried about Lingmei.
He was a sis-con. He was really worried about Lingmei if he did not see her.
It was just that he wasn't good at showing it.
Sure enough, the voice message on Lih Lingmei's phone indicated that Lingmei had turned off her phone.
Lih Lingye called again, and the result was the same. He still turned off his phone.
If this was any other time, it would be the same as turning off his phone. It was also possible. After all, Lingmei had to do her own things at work, so she turned off her phone because of the noise.
But today was New Year's Eve, and they had agreed to have a meal together. But now, it seemed a little impossible.
Because Lingmei did not come back.
One less person meant less reunion.
"Lingye, you can call Ji Yichen." Lih Lingye had Ji Yichen's number, so it was reasonable for him to call. He also did not want Yeh Xi to call junior again.
The phone rang more than ten times. Just as he was about to hang up naturally, Ji Yichen finally picked up the call. "Mr Ye." With a deep and magnetic voice, he felt that Ji Yichen, who was on the other end of the phone, seemed to be in a panic and on the verge of breaking down.
