“The money, I said, is mine to pay.”
War Yin was insistent.
Hai Tong couldn’t talk him out of it, and after thinking about it, she said, “Fine then, it’s up to you to pay for this money, Mr. War, do you have a show this weekend?”
“Something?”
Hai Tong led her pet dog and continued walking forward, saying as she walked, “We’ve been married for a while now, your old home, I haven’t been there yet, I was thinking if you’re free on the weekend, could you take me back to your old home?”
The in-laws had come, but she, the ugly daughter-in-law, hadn’t actually set foot in her in-laws’ house yet, and still didn’t even know which way the entrance to her in-laws’ house opened.
“My grandmother’s birthday is in half a month’s time, and on that day, all of us will go back, and on that day, I’ll take you back to recognize the family, and to meet all our friends and relatives at once.”
“Is it Grandma’s whole birthday?”
“It’s not a whole birthday, we’re just inviting special relatives over for a meal.”
If it had been a whole birthday, the family would have thrown a birthday party for Grandma, a feast for the high society celebrities of Guancheng.
That would not be a good way to fool Hai Tong.
It was only the closest relatives who gathered for dinner to celebrate Grandma’s birthday, and it was possible to conceal it by making arrangements and giving instructions in advance.
He knew that Hai Tong was not after his money or his grandmother’s money, and after observing her for some time, he felt that Hai Tong was a good person, but he had not yet decided whether he wanted to spend his life with her.
Therefore, he continued to hide his true identity from Hai Tong.
“That’s fine, then let’s wait for the day of grandma’s birthday and we’ll go back together.”
Hai Tong had no opinion about his arrangement.
The young couple wandered back and forth twice in the small garden of the district before heading home.
“Want to have a snack?”
Hai Tong asked him out of habit.
“Thanks, I’m not eating.”
He ate quite a lot of them when he was entertaining.
“Never mind, I won’t eat either, then, good night.”
“Good night.”
Hai Tong turned around and went into her room.
War Yin stood where he was, watching her enter her room and close the door behind her before he went back to his room.
As soon as he got back to his room, he brought the new clothes that Hai Tong had given him and washed them by hand himself, then used the washing machine to take off the water, then dried them, and hung them out on the balcony again, so they should be dry after dawn.
