The Reborn Lady

Chapter 149

Chapter 149

When Wei Ruo returned home in the evening, he was the first to notice the changes in his daughter.

Ning Jie'er usually wears her hair in two small buns, adorned with various headbands or silk flowers. She did the same this morning, but at this time, Ning Jie'er had a round bun on top of her head, with a silk flower inserted in it, and a slightly thick layer of bangs hanging down in front of her forehead, which made her look more gentle and graceful than usual.

"Father, do I look good like this?"

Ning Jie'er, who had already asked her two brothers, came to ask her father too.

Wei Ruo looked into his daughter's expectant eyes and smiled: "It looks good."

Ning Jie'er also smiled, and carefully touched the top of her head, saying, "Sister Zhuang taught me how to comb my hair."

The smile in Wei Ruo's eyes quickly faded and he looked at Yin Hui.

Yin Hui was talking to Xiao Heng and didn't notice his look.

Wen Ruyue comes here for dinner again tonight.

Wei Ruo did not follow the rule of not talking while eating. In the past, Yin Hui would discuss the day's activities with the three children at the dinner table. Now with Wen Ruyue, Xiao Heng and Xun'er became as silent as Wei Ruo. Apart from Yin Hui smilingly advising Wen Ruyue not to be polite, it was Ning'er who chatted with others casually, asking her brothers if they had been criticized by the teacher, and sometimes asking what case their father was busy with.

Wen Ruyue could feel that she didn't fit in.

The main reason is that my cousin is too cold.

There were six people at the table, and only her cousin was related to her. Her cousin was so cold, and her cousin's wife treated her with some sincerity, but it was just for the sake of face. When she went to see her during the day, it seemed like she was just doing her job.

She has been living under someone else's roof since she was young. Her aunt really loved her when she was little, but now she lives in her cousin's house and feels totally uncomfortable.

"Cousin, eat more meat. Look at you now, you are so thin that it makes me feel bad."

Yin Hui changed to a pair of chopsticks specially used for picking up food, and with a caring smile, she picked up a piece of braised pork for Wen Ruyue.

Wen Ruyue hurriedly thanked her.

Yin Hui shook her head and said angrily, "If you don't want to trouble me, just add more dishes and get your complexion back to normal so that I can report to my mother."

Wen Ruyue's face was red, and she still looked reserved.

Wei Ruo saw this and wanted to arrange for his cousin to eat alone in Zhufeng Hall from tomorrow, and let the small kitchen cook whatever she wanted. This way, his cousin would not feel constrained and he would not have to trouble his wife to take care of the guests. However, his cousin had only been here for a few days, and he was afraid that his cousin would misunderstand that his cousin and his wife did not welcome her and did not want to eat with her.

Although Wei Ruo really only wanted to have dinner with his family, he couldn't really do that because of the etiquette of entertaining guests.

After the meal was finally over, when Wen Ruyue took her leave, not to mention Wei Ruo, even Xiao Heng and Xun'er felt much more relaxed than before without realizing it.

The children naturally didn't have much affection for their cousin whom they had never met. In their eyes, Wen Ruyue was indeed an outsider, not as close as the aunts and sisters. As for Wei Ruo, he said that he would take care of his cousin, but in fact, he only had a sense of responsibility towards Wen Ruyue. He would provide Wen Ruyue with a good life, but he would not go against his own behavior and take good care of a cousin just to make her feel good.
