Du Liya was a bit stunned, not understanding what Qin Jiao was saying. She turned to look at her son, just as Shen Yi looked over at her.
Shen Yi spoke up. "It's nothing. Let's eat first. The meat is going to be overcooked."
Du Liya caught on and nodded quickly. "Right, right, let's eat first."
Since they weren't talking, Qin Jiao didn't press the issue. It quickly became a minor interlude, and the hotpot took center stage.
Besides, after the long train ride the day before, everyone started feeling tired after the meal. Once they had cleared the table, they all went to their respective rooms.
They had prepared four rooms for everyone to stay in. Shen Yi was sharing a room with his maternal grandfather. Having slept all morning, Mr. Du was looking much better. He was still a bit warm from the hotpot and fanned himself with a cattail fan. "Xiao Yi, what's on your mind?"
"I've changed my mind. I don't want to bring up the clothing factory with Jiao Jiao."
"Why?"
