Chapter 2018

Elaine smiled and said, “Silly girl, I lied to her. Where can I buy Cantonese-style refreshments for the Chinese New Year? Besides, I can’t do it. I’m just angry with that bad old lady!”

Elaine continued, “Don’t you know that your grandma usually likes Cantonese-style tea, so she goes to the teahouse to have it all morning. Every time she goes there, she eats a meal like Empress Dowager Cixi, one big table, now she has fallen into a family of dispair, I still can’t stimulate her well?”

Claire sighed helplessly, and said, “Mom, should you turn over the grudge you had with grandma? She is so old, so don’t be familiar with her.”

Elaine said disdainfully: “What about getting older? I tell you, there are a group of people in this society. The older she gets, the worse she gets! This kind of people, the older they are, the more they can’t breathe. It was able to save bad water in my stomach, and it smelled bad! Back in the detention center, you didn’t know how she tortured me. I didn’t rush to kill her. It is all my kindness!”

Claire had nothing to do with this mother, so she asked, “Okay, mom, then what do we have for breakfast?”

Elaine said: “I have noodles for breakfast, I ordered tomato and egg noodles.”

After finishing speaking, she looked at Charlie and said flatly, “Good son-in-law, don’t dislike it. When your mother’s legs are ready, I will go out to buy all kinds of big fish and meat every day, and make a big meal for you!”

Charlie smiled and said, “Mom, I’m not picky about eating. You should make more delicious food for Claire.”

“Sure for sure!” Elaine said with a grin: “At the beginning of pregnancy, it is necessary to eat healthily.”

Claire said shyly: “Mom… why are you talking nonsense again…”

Elaine said solemnly: “How can this be called nonsense? Mom is here. Before a woman wants to have a baby, she must be healthy. Don’t be like your mother. You will get pregnant if you are confused.”

Charlie was embarrassed when he heard it, and thought: “Obviously you used Jacob to get drunk and take the initiative to have a relationship with him. It can be regarded as deliberate, how can you become pregnant if you are confused?”

Claire didn’t want to continue discussing this topic with her mother at this time, and she said, “By the way, Mom, Elsa will come and stay with her cousin for a while. Then you can stop talking nonsense.”

Elaine asked in surprise, “Elsa is coming? She hasn’t returned to Eastcliff yet?”

Claire nodded: “Not returned. Does she not work in the Emgrand Group? Office workers only have a holiday today, so she will visit our house first, and then return to Eastcliff for the New Year.”

Elaine asked again: “Will she come back to work after the New Year?”

“She will.” Claire said: “She likes the job of the Emgrand Group.”

Elaine smacked her lips, and said seriously, “It feels a bit wrong!”

Claire asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”

Elaine said very seriously: “The Dong family is so powerful, how can she look for a job in the Emgrand Group? And she has been working for so long, I think, she must have another plan!”
