At half past seven in the evening, they had dinner on time.
The six people sat around the table. The atmosphere was not as serious and quiet as it was when they were in the main house. Instead, there were more laughter and chatting and they also maintained their proper cultivation.
Angela was an easy-going and sharp woman. Her skin was well maintained with white and red at the age of more than 40, and her every move and smile exuded the mature charm.
"Nina, don't stand on ceremony. Eat more." Angela smiled generously and gently to Nina. Angela was very grateful for Nina who helped her drink the wine. Angela treated Nina warmly, "I heard from James that you like eating seafood, right?"
"Yes." Nina nodded.
Angela smiled, "Next time you come here, I'll ask the kitchen to cook fish for you. There's no seafood at home today, so I'm sorry."
"You're welcome, sister-in-law." If anyone was very polite, Nina would be polite to others as well.
Daniel praised, "John, you have married a good wife."
"Thank you, brother." John raised his glass, smiled and said rudely, "I have a good taste."
Daniel laughed, "Ha-ha...... You always have a good taste. "
The two brothers had been chatting with each other all the time. Daniel praised his wife all the time which made Angela happy that her eyes almost narrowed into a seam.
It was unusual for John that most common short sentence had become a long sentence today.
"I didn't know she was my wife when I knew her, but I had thought about marrying her.
"My wife is a good girl. She never hit others when she is drunk."
"My wife is very obedient. She can do whatever I say."
"She is also very smart. She has solved a serial murder case."
With a complicated expression on her face, Nina seriously doubted the authenticity of his words, especially when he said that she was never beat others after drunk.
She glanced at James in silence and found that he was shaking his head. She felt depressed.
That's right. She had beat him last time and he had to bandage for several days.
"Brother, did you take the pills which will make you shake your head? Why are you shaking your head all the time? " Dora's innocent voice attracted the attention of the two men.
"Are you dissatisfied with what I said?" John asked indifferently
"No, No. how could it be possible?" James hated his sister so much that she often set him up behind his back.
"Okay." After a moment's silence, John suddenly asked, "Do all the students in the LD University say that my wife is your girlfriend?"
James was stunned.
Knowing that he was going to take the blame again, James tried his best to explain, "Uncle John, this is a rumor. It's absolutely a rumor. How can a smart person like you believe it! If you blame me for this rumor, it will be disgraceful for Uncle John. "
He looked around for help and Nina explained in the end, "Rumor."
"I know." John replied Nina in a gentle voice.
James looked at Nina gratefully. Aunt Nina was the best!
Then John looked at him and asked, "What is grace?"
James was speechless. He was almost out of breath.
In the end, he had no choice but to admit his bad luck. He lowered his face like a stray dog, and felt like weeping but had no tears in his heart.
The others snickered. At last, Angela gave him a bowl of warm soup to warm up the lonely young man.
During the meal, Nina drank half of the juice in front of her which was cool and delicious.
It was this half glass of ice juice that made Nina's stomach roll on the ground with pain after returning to the North Yard.
"John, I have a stomachache." Nina bent down and sat on the sofa, her face crumpled. "Can you get me a hot water bag? And a cup of brown sugar water. "
John didn't know that she was in such a pain because of her menstrual period. He didn't listen to Nina at all and called the doctor.
