A long time ago, Su Ruotong knew a proverb: "There is no good banquet."
When she sat with Chu Yuxi and Wei Qian, she understood this truth deeply.
Seven people were seated at the long oval Western-style dining table.
In addition to Su Ruotong and Su Changqing, Chu Yuxi, Wei Qian and their daughter Wei Qingxiao, there were also Wei Yuan and Ning Dandan.
Su Ruotong was simply surprised.
As soon as she saw this combination, she wanted to leave.
If she just had dinner with Chu Yuxi and his wife, then she still had to stay, but there were Wei Yuan and Ning Dandan, which Su Ruotong couldn't accept.
Some time ago, members of the Su family were kidnapped and tied up in the basement of the Wei family.
Although Wei Yuan was later cleared of suspicion, Wei Yuan gave the key to his son's fiancée Cheng Yan at that time and was not in Xinhai.
I had no idea about this matter, but would Su Ruotong believe it?
Although probably to make Su Ruotong and Su Changqing feel better, the banquet was not held at the Wei family, but to Su Ruotong, it was still unforgivable.
Chu Yuxi probably saw that Su Changqing and Su Ruotong looked ugly, so he quickly smoothed things over and said with a smile: "Tongtong, brother-in-law, sit down quickly.
We haven't seen each other for many years.
This time we want to catch up with each other."
Su Changqing was so embarrassed before that she never thought of asking Chu Yuxi if it was just two families meeting.
She said displeasedly: "Sister, brother-in-law, what do you mean?
It's okay to reminisce about old times, but why are there irrelevant people here?"
Wei Yuan looked ugly, but he endured it and said bravely: "We are all a family.
My eldest brother and sister-in-law Yuxi have been coming back for many years, and I will accompany them today."
"Who is your family?"
Su Changqing was full of anger: "Why do you still want to kidnap me today?
Come on, I want to see what other methods you have."
Chu Yuxi was extremely embarrassed.
He stood up, walked to Su Changqing, and said, "Brother-in-law, don't be angry.
You don't want to see the second child.
I just told him to leave.
Don't mention others.
We can still be a family."
With that said, Chu Yuxi and Wei Qian winked at Wei Yuan.
Wei Yuan was reluctant and finally went out.
The room was very quiet for a while.
Su Ruotong didn't speak from the beginning to the end.
After Wei Yuan closed the door, Su Ruotong suddenly said: "Ning Dandan, why are you still here?"
Ning Dandan's eyes lingered on Wei Qian and Chu Yuxi, obviously hoping that they would say a word for him.
Chu Yuxi showed a wry smile: "Brother-in-law, to be honest, it is useful for us to keep this girl.
The next thing we ask of you, brother-in-law, has a lot to do with her."
Su Changqing didn't have a good impression of Ning Dandan either, but he didn't have any particular hatred or hatred, and because Ning Dandan was young, he always thought that such a young child deserved forgiveness, so he remained noncommittal and stopped chasing people away.
Seeing that Su Changqing's attitude was a little relaxed, Chu Yuxi said quickly: "Then sit down, let's eat first.
Today's meal was specially made by airlifting ingredients from Italy in the morning, and then invited a famous chef from the provincial capital to cook it.
Brother-in-law, you It’s a connoisseur, give it a try and see if it tastes like it.”
Today's banquet hosted by the Wei family was a standard Western meal.
The table was decorated with exquisite and high-end decorations, including flowers, candlesticks, and silverware.
There were also waiters in tuxedos looking after the table diligently.
Su Ruotong tasted two sips of the soup.
It was oxtail soup with white sauce.

It was made with no faults.
In today's Western food, it is pretty good.
Maybe it can catch up with the former Chef Charlie, but compared with the current Chef Charlie who passed by Su Ruotong.
There is still quite a distance.
The rest of the dishes are similar, and you can see that the chef has put a lot of effort into it.
But sometimes, the quality of the finished product is not about how much effort you put into it, but it also depends on your ability.
Su Ruotong could eat it, and so could Su Changqing.
The father and daughter took a few sips, then wiped the corners of their mouths with a napkin to show that they were full.
We came here today to talk about business.
When the Wei family saw that the Su family and their daughter didn't want to eat, they immediately obeyed and asked the waiter to collect the plates and prepare desserts for after-dinner, so that they could talk about business after the meal.
During the meal, Ning Dandan remained silent, immersed herself in eating, and even made a lot of noise.
She basically had no manners to speak of, and she was very unskilled in using tableware, which made people want to buy her a pair of chopsticks. make.
Today's meal is exquisite, but the portion is really not much, and there is only a small amount of food on each plate.
Seeing the waiter coming to collect the plates, Ning Dandan showed a surprised expression and asked with hesitation and grievance: "Is there nothing left?
Give me another one."
Chu Yuxi's expression froze, and she coughed lightly: "Miss Ning, if you are not full, please have another midnight snack tonight."
Who knew that Ning Dandan looked at Chu Yuxi with a sharp expression as if she couldn't understand people's words: "Why can't I owe you something?"
Chu Yuxi was used to being pampered.
He had never been in contact with someone like Ning Dandan.
He immediately felt very embarrassed.
He endured it for a few moments before raising the corners of his downturned lips: "It's nothing.
It's just that there may not be any extra food in the kitchen.
Ning Miss, how about I order you a takeaway?"
"I want pizza."
Ning Dandan replied: "I want the 12-inch pizza from Sea and Land Supreme, the kind with double cheese."
Chu Yuxi almost agreed to Ning Dandan's request with a twitch in his mouth.
After finally waiting for her to calm down, the dessert was served here.
It was a black chocolate cake with ice cream balls.
It had been chilled in the refrigerator.
It tasted fragrant and glutinous and melted in the mouth, which was beyond Su Ruotong's expectations.
Chu Yuxi only took a sip, then drank a cup of black tea beside him, and said slowly: "Brother-in-law, I have rarely come back these years, but I should have told you that I have my own reasons.
A Qian is the eldest son of the eldest son.
Grandson, our life is not as satisfactory as others imagine."
Su Changqing must have really heard Chu Yuxi complain before and said, "I can understand some things."
"Brother-in-law, thank you for your understanding."
Chu Yuxi sighed: "We are returning to China this time because the old man above is seriously ill and his life is limited.
He can only support it for three more years.
Now within the family, there is a competition for the heir to the next patriarch.
We...
Although hidden in twenty years He has been designated as the heir before, but his position has always been threatened.
This time, if he doesn't do something, he will be forced to leave.
You also know that for a family like ours, it's okay to be forced to leave. , I’m afraid the whole family will be dead by then.”
Hearing what Chu Yuxi said was terrible, Su Changqing felt some pity and said, "Is it really that serious?
It's really not possible.
You can go back to China to develop.

The situation in the country is very good now.
It's not a problem to have enough to eat."
Chu Yuxi was stunned.
She didn't want to go back to China to make ends meet.
If she wanted to make ends meet, she would end up in this situation.
Su Changqing was so unambitious.
No wonder even her psychotic sister looked at her.
Not to him.
Su Changqing didn't know the slander in Chu Yuxi's heart, and said very seriously: "Sister, brother-in-law, if you are willing, I can help you after returning to China.
We are all related, break the bones and connect the tendons, and put the blood there , I can’t ignore you.”
Chu Yuxi felt awkward.
She and Su Changqing had no blood relationship.
Moreover, what she wanted was not to return to China, so she showed a faint smile: "Thank you, brother-in-law.
You are such a good person.
But before we came, we already had There is a solution, brother-in-law, can you listen to us?"
"Tell me."
Su Changqing said.
"A Qian has been in business for so many years, and it is not without any foundation.
There are still many elders in the family who support him.
But those people are old antiques.
They feel that A Qian and I have no men to support us and have no influence on their future.
There is no benefit, so I have been hesitating, but A Qian and I have worked hard for so many years.
Until the end of last year, when we went to check, I was OK, but A Qian..."
Chu Yuxi wiped the corners of his eyes.
Su Changqing was very surprised and said to Chu Yuxi: "Sister, has your brother-in-law seen a Chinese medicine doctor for this disease?
There are many diseases that Western medicine cannot treat, but Chinese medicine can do it.
My brother-in-law is only fifty, how about I help you find out?"
"It's useless.
We asked for help from doctors, knelt down and worshiped Buddha, and tried many folk remedies and witchcraft medicines, but none of them worked.
In the end, we were really desperate and explained this matter to the clan elders.
They discussed it for a long time.
We decided to give A Qian and I another chance.
Let us adopt a child from our family, preferably one who is very close to us, and this child will not be affected by his biological parents in the future and will stand by us wholeheartedly. " Su Changqing still didn't understand what happened, and looked at Chu Yuxi and his wife in confusion.
No matter what age it is, there are still people who have this concept of male inheritance and adopt other people's children.
Sooner or later, it will be exposed one day, and they can go back to find their biological parents, which is a matter of minutes.
Besides, have they ever considered the feelings of their own daughter Wei Qingxiao?
She is sitting here eating with everyone.
Thinking about this, Su Changqing looked at Wei Qingxiao and found that Wei Qingxiao had been obediently lowering his head and eating the dessert in small bites, and seemed not to be affected by this incident at all.
Chu Yuxi had already scolded Su Changqing bloody in her heart at this moment.
She had already mentioned this, why was Su Changqing's wooden head still not enlightened?
At this moment, Ning Dandan couldn't sit still and asked: "How long has it been?
Why hasn't my pizza arrived yet?
Could it be that you didn't place an order at all and you are fooling me."
When she was at school, Su Ruotong hadn't noticed that Ning Dandan was so mean, selfish, and indifferent to others.
She only cared about the shortcomings of her mouth.

Looking at it now, she was just like those village women.
The atmosphere of the conversation at the table was suddenly broken by Ning Dandan.
Chu Yuxi was very unhappy and said: "The reservation must have been made.
Why don't you go out and wait."
"Go out and wait for the time when you have a baby in the future.
I will also ask you to go abroad and wait.
Do you want to?
You can just throw me away if you want to use me.
It's not that cheap."
Ning Dandan suddenly turned his face away and pushed away fiercely.
The chair in front of me almost knocked the plate on the table in front of me He fell to the ground, pointed at Su Ruotong's nose, and screamed: "Why didn't you call her a baby?
Why didn't you call her Cheng Yansheng?
You locked me up like this and asked me to give birth to a child to a living dead, just because I'm so easy to bully.
Why, why?"
