Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 961

In response, Qiu Mingyan squinted her eyes in annoyance.

Jiang Jun looked away and shut his mouth.

“Well, since Mohan has finally come home to spend time with us, let’s make it count, okay?” Jiang Youqian loaded their plates with the roasted pork ribs, stir fry vegetables, and braised eggplants.

“Thanks son,” Qiu Mingyan said, smiling from ear to ear. It was a smile distinctly different from that fake smile she gave Jiang Mohan just moments ago.

“Let us toast to our family’s reunion!” Qiu Mingyan exclaimed, going off to get a bottle of wine.

She poured a glass for Jiang Mohan first.

“Hey Mom, he hasn’t recovered fully yet. I don’t think you should make him drink that.” Jiang Youqian pushed Jiang Mohan’s glass to the side.

Qiu Mingyan’s fake smile turned stiff. “How rude of you! This is for your brother.”

“He’s injured.” Jiang Youqian was not giving in.

Qiu Mingyan blinked. This fool!

Still keeping up her fake smile, she uttered awkwardly, “Alright then… “

Jiang Youqian held up the glass of wine Qiu Mingyan had poured, and said, “It would be a waste to pour this away, so I’ll drink it.”

Before anyone could react, he began gulping down the wine.

“Youqian, what are you doing?”

Jiang Youqian raised an eyebrow. “What’s wrong?”

“No, nothing,” Qiu Mingyan stuttered, but still took the glass of wine away. “If your brother is not drinking, let’s just not have any wine today.”

Jiang Youqian’s brows furrowed deeper. “But it’s such a waste!”

“Hah… Alcohol is not good for you, son,” Qiu Mingyan laughed creakily, as she began keeping the bottle of wine.

Jiang Youqian still seemed to be baffled by his mother’s odd behavior, but Jiang Mohan, who had kept his silence all that while, could immediately tell what was really going on.

Hmph. I wonder what she spiked that wine with. Or she wouldn’t have reacted like that when Jiang Youqian drank it.

His eyes turned even colder.

They definitely didn’t invite me for this meal to apologize or seek my forgiveness. So what is it that they want?

Despite having all those thoughts in his head, Jiang Mohan feigned ignorance.

On the other hand, Jiang Youqian was still thinking about the wasted wine.

“Okay, let’s eat. Dig in, dig in.” Qiu Mingyan sat back at her seat, and exclaimed, “It’s been so long since we last came together to have a meal as a family.”

“Yeah, I can’t even remember our last meal together,” Jiang Youqian sighed.

It’s been too long, so long that I can’t even remember.

“I had already eaten before coming over, you guys should go ahead,” Jiang Mohan said as he pushed himself away from the dining table. Hah… How can I eat your food after all that?

Jiang Jun was evidently displeased. “What are you trying to say? And what more do you want for us? It’s not easy for us to gather round for a meal like this, why are you giving us an attitude?”

“Hey, hey, calm down. It’s okay. Mohan said that he already ate before coming,” Qiu Mingyan quickly stood up to comfort Jiang Jun. As she lightly patted his back, she turned to Jiang Mohan and said, “Mohan, please don’t be mad, he’s just concerned about you.”

Jiang Mohan held back a chuckle. Showing concern by making that angry face of his?

By then, Jiang Youqian could also feel the tension in the air. Weren’t we trying to make up with him?

He stood up and said, “I’m not hungry either.”

“Oh, whatever!” Jiang Jun flung the chopsticks onto the floor before wheeling himself back into his room.

Qiu Mingyan cursed in her head. She was so disappointed by Jiang Jun’s behavior.

“How about you come hang out in my room for a bit? I’ll send you back later.” Jiang Youqian pushed Jiang Mohan toward his room.

Jiang Mohan did not refuse the offer.
