Father Cheng suddenly said, "Okay, don't say anything. Today is the day we are reunited as siblings. If there is anything, we can talk about it later. Let's eat first!"
Now that Mr. Cheng has spoken, others will naturally not go against him.
Qin Xue also glanced at Xu Xiuwen and then sat back in her seat.
Xu Xiuwen was in no mood to eat at this moment.
He looked at Cheng's father and said, "Uncle, I'm sorry, I may not be able to have dinner with you today. I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do at the company, so I have to go."
Everyone knew that his words were excuses.
But no one had any reason to stop him.
It was rare for Cheng's father to feel indebted to someone.
He had no choice but to agree.
"Xiao Xu, don't worry. We can find time to have a good chat tomorrow."
"Yes, uncle."
Cheng Lu suddenly stood up, walked to his side, took his hand and said, "I'll go with you."
"Lulu!" Qin Xue immediately shouted when she saw this.
Father Cheng didn't say anything.
"Mom, I'm not feeling well. Please let me go back to school."
She turned to look at her mother. The coldness on her usually frosty face was gone, replaced by a pleading look.
But even so, Qin Xue still said cruelly: "If you are not feeling well, I can accompany you to the hospital, but you can't go with him."
Cheng Lu clenched his fists instantly.
This small detail made Xu Xiuwen feel Cheng Lu's kindness.
He also gently shook Cheng Lu's hand and said, "Lulu, you should stay and accompany your uncle and aunt."
Cheng Lu's first reaction was not relief, but worry about Xu Xiuwen's condition.
She looked at Xu Xiuwen nervously.
Xu Xiuwen forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."
Cheng Lu said: "But I want to go with you."
There has never been a moment when she was more afraid of leaving Xu Xiuwen than now.
Xu Xiuwen wanted to take Cheng Lu away directly, but he caught a glimpse of Qin Xue and Cheng's father's expressions out of the corner of his eye.
He didn't want to further escalate the conflict.
"Be obedient and eat well..."
Cheng Lu immediately bit her lower lip.
Xu Xiuwen knew that she had heard it and smiled.
Then Xu Xiuwen left.
Before leaving the box, Xu Xiuwen glanced at Cheng Lu.
Seeing the latter's confused eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
But he still left.
After walking out of the box, Xu Xiuwen sighed.
Eight out of ten things in life are not what you want
The road to reconciliation between him and Cheng Lu is long and arduous...
Chapter 923 Xiu Wen
Chapter 923 Xiu Wen... Woo~
Xu Xiuwen was mentally prepared to be with Cheng Lu despite the opposition from Cheng Lu's parents.
Although Cheng's father said he would have a good talk with him tomorrow.
But Qin Xue's attitude is there.
Xu Xiuwen didn't think that Qin Xue would change her mind just after one night.
Next, Xu Xiuwen will face a difficult choice.
1: Ignore Qin Xue and insist on getting back together with Cheng Lu.
The consequence of doing so might annoy Qin Xue.
She might force Cheng Lu to study abroad.
By then, he and Cheng Lu will be far apart and out of reach.
2: Give up on reconciliation temporarily.
The advantage of doing this is that Cheng Lu doesn't have to go abroad.
Of course he would not really give up on Cheng Lu, but would instead adopt a delaying tactic.
Let's delay it until the day Qin Xue agrees.
If you have to choose one of the two.
Xu Xiuwen could not accept the result of Cheng Lu going abroad.
So, although he seems to have a choice, he actually has no choice.
In order to appease Qin Xue, he had to temporarily give up on getting back together with Cheng Lu.
The two people who obviously love each other can only remain friends and keep their distance because of their parents' opposition.
The feeling of not being able to get the love you want is so unpleasant.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiuwen suddenly wanted to drink.
He wanted to get drunk to forget his worries.
Xu Xiuwen did not choose to get drunk in the store.
He didn't want his employees to see him in a drunken and disheveled state.
So he chose to drive to the nearby snack street.
He originally wanted to call Hang Fei to have a drink with him.
But it had only been a few days since I last asked Hang Fei to drink.
Apart from Hang Fei, he couldn't think of anyone else to drink with him.
In the end, I just drank alone.
It is easiest to get drunk when you drink alone.
Because I poured glass after glass of liquor into my stomach, in the end, I even forgot how much I had drunk.
The restaurant's proprietress noticed Xu Xiuwen very early on.
After seeing Xu Xiuwen lying on the table without any movement.
She came over and tapped his shoulder, trying to wake him up.
It’s a pity that Xu Xiuwen was too drunk.
The proprietress hesitated for a moment, then felt Xu Xiuwen's pocket, quickly found his cell phone, picked a number and called.
…
On the third floor of Ruowen Building, in a private room.
After Xu Xiuwen left, the "family dinner" continued.
After what happened just now, the atmosphere at the dinner table became increasingly silent and awkward, far less harmonious and warm than at the beginning.
In the end, the dinner ended early.
In order to show off in front of his elders, Chen Jin took the initiative to offer to pay.
Without waiting for Cheng's father and mother to speak, Cheng Xingbang refused bluntly.
"We are having dinner as a family. Do you need to pay?"
His tone was not polite, and even a little disdainful.
Chen Jin's face looked ugly, but he couldn't get angry, so he could only endure it.
Cheng Xingbang said to his wife, "You go and pay."
Cheng Xingbang's wife, Mrs. Ye, got up and went downstairs to pay the bill.
Soon, Ye returned to the box.
She looked as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Cheng Xingbang immediately asked, "I asked you to pay, why do you look like that?"
