Jie Jingjue stopped in his tracks, glanced at everyone, and silently turned to clear the dishes.
Qin Mei was surprised. 'Jing Wu is so obedient to Gao Hai. If Jie Jingchen told him to do the dishes, he'd definitely make a run for it. And if Jing Wu is doing them voluntarily, he must be asking for a favor.'
"Let's go drink tea in the courtyard," Jie Jingchen said.
Qin Mei had no objection and wheeled Jie Jingshan out into the courtyard.
Jie Jingchen prepared two enamel mugs of tea for himself and Gao Hai. Qin Mei's enamel mug contained brown sugar water, while Jie Jingshan's had water with white sugar.
Jie Jingchen and Gao Hai were deep in conversation, discussing life and analyzing the current state of affairs. Jie Jingshan listened with rapt attention, while Qin Mei had to stop herself from jumping in several times.
When Jie Jingjue finished in the kitchen and came out, he saw that Gao Hai still hadn't left. He stopped short, ready to retreat to his room.
