Chapter 79: Damaged Relationship

Mr. Ren subconsciously wanted to agree, but he remembered what happened on his side, so he shook his head and refused. "Don't be so polite," said Mr. Ren, "we should also invite you to dinner here, but this time we just returned to China and we don't have much time... Let's make an appointment next time."

Mrs. Lin added, "It's just a meal, everyone will have a good time together, and it won't take too long. You also said that you just returned to China, so you must not have eaten much yet, right? This is just right, I know there is a very good Chinese restaurant nearby, so let's go together."

Mr. Ren pursed his lips and said reluctantly, "That's it."

Ren Yue snorted in disdain when he saw Mr. Ren's performance of pushing and refusing. After hearing his son's sneer, Mr. Ren reached out and wanted to squeeze Ren Yue's arm. However, at the moment he stretched out his hand, Lin He got out of nowhere and stood in the middle of them, and screamed in a low voice when his hand touched his arm.

Lin He's voice frightened everyone. Mrs. Lin's face changed a little. She asked immediately, "What's wrong?"

Lin He covered his arm and replied in a low voice, "It's nothing, it's just that I was hit by accident just now, and my arm hurts a little."

When he said these words, Mr. Ren's hand that failed had no time to retract, it stopped in mid-air and was seen by everyone. Mr. Ren's face became particularly ugly, but he continued to put out his hand as if nothing had happened. Then he patted Lin He's arm with a gentle action and asked with concern, "Does it hurt?"

Mrs. Lin understood. She strode directly to her son and blocked Mr. Ren and Lin He. She smiled generously at Mr. Ren and said, "My son is making a fuss. He may have misunderstood your gesture just now. Don't worry about it."

Mr. Ren shook his head and said it was all right, but he always thought the Lin family was strange. But when he thought of his own lack of money, in this case, the opposite party was preparing to invite them to eat delicious food, so he thought about it and put up with it. Mr. Ren doesn't think this kind of eating behavior was shameful. After all, it was someone else's own initiative to ask him to eat, just like many times in the past, he was used to it.

Thinking of this, Mr. Ren took a look at Ren Yue.

Lin He felt Mr. Ren's sight. He stepped forward directly and blocked him from looking at Ren Yue. Ren Yue noticed his small action to protect him, and immediately felt a little warm in his heart, so he rarely showed a smiling face. This was his first smiling face after attending the parent-teacher meeting today.

Mrs. Lin said she would treat everyone to a big meal, which was really not perfunctory. She drove with them to a luxury hotel, and then ordered a string of expensive dishes without blinking. When ordering, Mr. Ren politely refused the ordering task, but at the same time, he quietly paid attention to the price of the menu, and his evaluation of the Lin He's family immediately rose. He should have thought that if Mrs. Lin dressed so fashionably, their family must be rich.

So Mr. Ren became more enthusiastic towards Lin family.

Mrs. Lin observed the change of Mr. Ren's attitude. She sneered in the bottom of her heart, and then she quietly began to chat with Mr. Ren. Mrs. Lin herself worked in the Bureau of Education and was very familiar with the teaching profession. Therefore, the content of her conversation was basically consistent with the identity of Mr. Ren, so they soon became familiar. When Mr. Ren put down his guard, Mrs. Lin pursued the victory and dug materials from Mr. Ren's mouth. During this period, she even turned the topic to the quiet mother who was eating.

Ren Yue was stunned. He said to Lin He with emotion, "Your mother is amazing." He never knew that his childhood friend's mother turned out to be a superwoman.

Lin He was a little shy when his mother was praised, and he said, "She is really amazing."

Ren Yue pricked his ears and listened carefully to their conversation. Only when he listened attentively did he find that Mrs. Lin's questioning skills were great, but Mr. Ren's defense was also quite good... It's just strange. Mrs. Lin did keep taking words out of Mr. Ren's mouth, but Mr. Ren always said some contradictory words. Often, the information she just got in front of him would be completely denied by him unconsciously.

He spoke without any direction, as if he had made up something on the spot. Therefore, all the information obtained by Mrs. Lin got was stamped "to be verified".

As for Mrs. Ren who looked like a breach over there, no matter what topics she threw at her, she just nodded and smiled gently, and all topics were intercepted by Mr. Ren alone. Mrs. Ren seemed to be particularly defensive against Mrs. Lin. Although she would show a good-looking smile when the other person looked at her, the timidity in her eyes couldn't be ignored.

In this regard, Mrs. Lin said she was very tired. She spent all this time and effort eating with these people, not to listen to people make up stories and talk big things. However, she was not completely useless. At least she could be sure that Mrs. Ren really had some problems.

No matter how Lin He's family wanted to help Ren Yue, what they could do was very limited. After a meal, Mrs. Lin had to leave first for temporary business, and Lin He was persuaded by Ren Yue to follow his mother.

Now Ren Yue and his parents were finally left.

After Mr. Ren had enough to eat and drink, his face became particularly soft and he burped in great mood. After that, he slowly said to Ren Yue, "Are you going home tonight?"

Ren Yue asked indifferently, "Which home?"

"Of course it's our home." As soon as Mr. Ren finished speaking, his face suddenly changed. But soon he covered up his guilty conscience and said faintly, "But if you want to go to Mr. Bai, we won't stop you... It's just that we're going to visit. After all, Mr. Bai has taken care of you for so long."

Ren Yue easily recognized Mr. Ren's loophole. He raised his eyebrows and said decisively, "Go back to our house! I haven't gone back for a long time. I miss it."

Mr. Ren refused and said, "I think we should go to Mr. Bai. Today's business is also... We need to thank him and apologize."
