So, he was a father-in-law now.
Meng Jin suddenly sat up and asked, "Xiaolin, would Xiao Yue have any thoughts? Si Yu couldn't be angry, right? Si Yu hasn't come here these days, is he angry?"
"Si Yu has been busy with company matters these days, hasn't he?" Mo Xiaolin gave him a sidelong glance, seeing his panicked and worried expression, she couldn't help but laugh, knowing that he also cared about his son. She muttered, "If you really care about your son, let him rest more. Once they get their marriage certificate, they're married. Then help your son out, let him not work so hard, and give the young couple more time to spend together."
"Xiaolin, I..." Meng Jin looked toward Mo Xiaolin with a helpless wry smile. He and Si Yu weren't in the same company, how could he help?
Even if he was willing to help, would Si Yu accept it?
Meng Jin coaxed Mo Xiaolin, "Don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to help him, but..."
Meng Jin looked eagerly at Mo Xiaolin and said, "Xiaolin, when can you accompany me back to the Meng Family for a meal? Mr. Meng might be confused, but no matter how confused, he is still my real dad. We'll just have a meal, nothing else."
Mo Xiaolin fell silent. Although Meng Siyu's identity had been revealed, Mr. Meng had not yet spoken about it. Meng Siyu had not changed his surname either, so his current status was somewhat awkward.
"Xiaolin, don't worry, my dad has realized his mistake. We won't discuss Si Yu not returning for now, but we should go back first, right? You are my dad's daughter-in-law." Meng Jin seized the moment, saying, "My dad has made amends to Grandpa Qin and publicly acknowledged Si Yu's identity, and they are all waiting for you and your son to visit."
Meng Jin continued, "We haven't been back to the Meng Family since we got married, and besides, I want to host a banquet to let everyone know that you are the wife I've been searching for over twenty years."
Mo Xiaolin cleared her throat and said, "We are both of such an age already..."
"It's precisely because we're older that we need to hold the banquet. Otherwise, my son is already getting a wife, and his dad still hasn't held a banquet." Meng Jin cut off Mo Xiaolin's words, "Xiaolin, we were too simple back in the day. I want to hold a proper celebration. Hmm, if you feel embarrassed by a large event, then we should at least invite close friends and family for a meal, can we?"
"Okay." Mo Xiaolin, facing Meng Jin's eager look, felt too embarrassed to refuse.
What Meng Jin mentioned about inviting close friends and family for a meal wasn't just one or two tables as Mo Xiaolin imagined, but twenty, because Meng Jin wanted to stand proudly in front of Meng Siyu and hear Meng Siyu call him dad. Therefore, Meng Jin arranged for their wedding matters in advance.
Later, Mo Xiaolin finally understood that she had dug a hole for herself.

In the alley.
Tang Yue was still in her dreams when she smelled the enticing aroma.
"Dad, did you finish making dumplings so early?" Tang Yue got up to the scent of dumplings.
Peeking out from the kitchen, Tang Zhengde said, "Xiao Yue, I couldn't sleep this morning, so I took a walk nearby. I bought some meat and even saw someone selling dumpling wrappers, so I got some. The dumplings are just ready."
"Dad, you've worked too hard." Tang Yue couldn't help but say, "Now that you've come to Jing City, you should rest well. I can handle all the household chores."
Every time they came back, the couple, Tang Zhengde and Zhang Hualian, would take care of everything inside and outside meticulously.
"Let your dad do it. We're used to working. If we really had nothing to do, we wouldn't be able to sit still."
