hope for redemption

Don't look at Lin Wang's rough life, he looks like a rascal, but he has a very keen observation of things and people.From just a few words, I know that this meal is not that simple, and it is very likely that I will use power to suppress people like last time.

He could also sense that Jiang Xi might want to quarrel with them, but he silently supported him without saying anything, instead of blaming Jiang Xi for not coming to him for help as before, but let Jiang Xi do it. , and I tried my best to leave a way out for him.

Jiang Xi could sense that Lin Wang was changing for him and their relationship.

At the same time, he was also very glad that he had taken that step, and was ready to show the past so that the barriers would disappear and Lin Wang could feel at ease.

"Okay," Jiang Xi said with red eyes.

The group soon reached the door of the suite, and Mr. Yu stepped back to let Jiang Xi stand in the center, motioning for Lin Wang to open the door and go in.

Jiang Xi glanced at Mr. Yu gratefully, he knew that Mr. Yu did this to save face for him.Generally, in this kind of dinner, the person with the most right to speak and decide will stand in the center, so that he has the ability and confidence to let the people on the side push the door for him.Now Mr. Yu is doing this to tell everyone present who is the one who really needs to be afraid of through details.

Zhou Ping and Jiang Tiancheng had arrived a long time ago. The two couples sat face to face on both sides of the round table. When they noticed someone pushing the door, they immediately put on happy smiles.

"Xixi, you are here, sit down quickly." Zhou Ping said softly while sitting there.

"Mr. Yu? Why are you here?" At this moment, Aunt Liu, who was wearing a decent smile, immediately changed her expression and exclaimed.

Her shout brought Xiao Yaoming, who was drinking tea leisurely, back to his senses, and he immediately turned his head and shouted: "Old Yu!"

Without waiting for Mr. Yu's reply, the two of them immediately came up to meet him, adjusted their clothes, and chatted with Mr. Yu with a smile.

"Mr. Yu, do you still remember me? My grandfather and your lover used to belong to the same company. I went with my father to celebrate your 70th birthday last year." Aunt Liu bent over and moved a little closer. distance.

"I remember, the emerald sculpture of the ice species is very beautiful." Mr. Yu praised with a smile.

"As long as you like it, it's not something expensive." Aunt Liu said.

Seeing that the other party had already struck up a conversation, Xiao Yaoming couldn't bear to show weakness, and immediately took advantage of the pause to interject: "Oh, I haven't seen Mr. Yu for a long time. The last time we met was when we went to the National People's Congress together. It's been so many years. You are still so energetic."

"Haha, no way, Yaoming, you haven't changed much." Mr. Yu and him complimented each other, "It's me, I'm getting old."

"Where is there, no!" Xiao Yaoming waved his hand disapprovingly, praised him one after another, and then changed the subject appropriately to bring the intimacy closer, "I said that I wanted to visit Bo Huai when I had tea with Bo Huai last time. You, it's a pity that you didn't have that chance when you went to Beijing. Bo Huai is really capable now, he's even become the mayor, so it's up to you to pass it on."

"I don't have the ability to help him for a long time, let him struggle on his own." Mr. Yu smiled self-deprecatingly.

The two of them seized the opportunity and blew rainbow farts at Mr. Yu, completely forgetting that there was Jiang Xi and that they had to do some superficial tricks to celebrate someone's birthday.

After chatting for a while, Aunt Liu finally realized that there was something wrong. She looked at the three of them for a while and asked, "Old Yu, why did you come here? Did you go the wrong way..."

"Oh, that's right, I..."

"I invited people to come," Jiang Xi nodded apologetically to Mr. Yu, motioning for himself to speak, then turned to them and said, "Since it's my birthday party, I should have the right to invite people to attend, right?" .”

The two of them looked at each other, and they could clearly see the disapproval in each other's eyes. After exchanging glances, Aunt Liu twitched the corners of her mouth and said tactfully, "It's not that we can't, it's just that we want to have a simple meal for the whole family. So I didn’t order any dishes, it’s too shabby to invite Mr. Yu to eat these, otherwise we..."

"It's okay," Mr. Yu interrupted her with a smile, "I didn't come here specially for dinner."

Some words stop at the end, as long as you understand it.

It's not for dinner, it's for other things.

Both of them are human beings, combined with Jiang Xi's words, they can immediately understand the truth of Yu's words, and understand that his purpose of coming this time is to support Jiang Xi.

At the same time, it also conveyed a message that the relationship between Jiang Xi and Mr. Yu was unusual, and it could even be said that they had a deep friendship.

After reacting, the faces of the two of them immediately changed. They probably didn't expect that Jiang Xi would know such a famous person. This sudden change disrupted their original plan, and the two of them stood there for a while, feeling a little unaware Overwhelmed.

"Don't stand still, sit down and talk." At this time Jiang Tiancheng came over to break the embarrassing situation. He patted Jiang Xi's shoulder affectionately and said, "Xixi is really a grown-up. When you grow up, you are taller than me. Dad has been busy since you returned to China, so he has no time to see you, so don’t blame dad.”

"No," Jiang Xi avoids Jiang Tiancheng's hand, leans over him, pulls the stool in the center away, and turns to Elder Yu, "Elder Yu, please sit here."

"No, no, today you are the birthday star, you sit in the middle, I just come here to mix meals, I just sit here." Mr. Yu chose the most inconspicuous seat on the side and sat down.

Jiang Xi was a little uncertain about this, and looked at Lin Wang for help.

"Let him go," Lin Wang came over and took Jiang Xi's hand to sit down, "Just sit here."

"Xixi, would you like to sit next to Dad, we haven't seen each other for a long time," Jiang Tiancheng sat on his seat with a kind smile and waved to Jiang Xi.

That appearance overlaps with Jiang Xi's memory of him sitting on the sofa at home waving to himself and asking if he wants to eat ice cream, but there are always gaps that cannot be completely overlapped.

"No, I'll just sit here." Jiang Xi replied coldly.

Jiang Tiancheng smiled embarrassingly, and said as if explaining or comforting himself: "The child will not be clingy when he grows up."

"Children must be independent after all," Aunt Liu patted Jiang Tiancheng's hand, then turned to look at Lin Wang and asked, "Hey, who is this?"

Jiang Xi looked around at the crowd, and said very calmly: "My marriage partner, Lin Wang."

Rao Zhou Ping, who already knew the relationship between the two of them, couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice when Jiang Xi said this, let alone Jiang Tiancheng and his wife who knew their relationship for the first time. One hundred thousand volts of lightning strikes, eyes full of astonishment.

Now the only people who can calm down in the audience are Lin Wang and Jiang Xi.

"Hello, uncles and aunts, I'm Lin Wang." Lin Wang gave them some buffer time, stood up and bowed slightly to say hello.

"Don't call me uncle!" Jiang Tiancheng shouted in disgust, "You... how can you two men be together!"

"What's wrong with two men together? Who stipulated that two men can't be together?" Jiang Xi asked coldly.

"You!" Jiang Tiancheng wanted to refute but was speechless, pointing at them angrily and gasping for breath.

"Tiancheng," Aunt Liu pulled him with a bit of blame, "how can you be so old-fashioned in this age, as long as the child likes it, don't care about gender."

"Heh," Zhou Ping sneered when he heard her say that sitting opposite, and mocked, "It's not his own son who definitely said that, but if your own son is like this, you can still say such a thing."

"Jiang Qiao is still young, I can't imagine it," Aunt Liu gave Zhou Ping a sideways look with a faint smile, "But if Jiang Xi is this old and has the courage and determination to name the four words of marriage partner, I will support him." Yes, after all I am quite open-minded."

The tone is mild, but the words are mocking.

There will always be open and secret fights between women, and they will always be fierce.

Looking at the two of them, Jiang Xi couldn't help but recall the scene when they met several years ago, and it was like this now, where they quarreled sentence after sentence, and finally turned into fighting.

Sure enough, as Jiang Xi expected, the two quarreled without hesitation in front of everyone, throwing knives at each other one by one.

Jiang Xi calmly poured a glass of water for himself and Lin Wang, then picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Mr. Yu, making a joke.Mr. Yu has also seen strong winds and waves, and he still has the ability to adapt to this scene. Sitting there with a calm face and drinking tea is like listening to an opera in a teahouse.

While pinching Lin Wang's knuckles, Jiang Xi listened to her quarrel with great interest. After so many years, Zhou Ping still hasn't improved at all. No matter how noble and elegant he looks, as soon as he meets Aunt Liu, his true nature will be revealed. She was full of ugliness, and her complexion was distorted like a shrew cursing.

Aunt Liu is still the same, she likes to quarrel with Zhou Ping, it's not because she's angry in her heart or because she gets the upper hand when quarreling, but because she likes to see Zhou Ping's crazy appearance and let her bring out her intellectual, elegant and generous side .

One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer, there is an inexplicable harmony between them.

Of course, this is only in Jiang Xi's eyes, in the eyes of others...don't worry about it.

"Okay! Don't quarrel!" Xiao Yaoming roared unbearably, pushed Zhou Ping back to his seat, and warned, "We didn't come to quarrel today!"

Well, indeed, they didn't come here to quarrel today, but to negotiate with Jiang Xi to get the video.

This reminder finally brought the two of them back to their senses, and they all went back to their seats, pretending nothing happened, clearing their throats, stroking their hair, and returning to being high-class ladies again. image.

This image transformation is really not too smooth.

"Hehe, I'm sorry, I made you laugh." Aunt Liu took a sip of her tea, and called out to the waiter to greet them to prepare the dishes. "It's been a long time, let's eat first."

Because it had been booked early, waiters who lined up in a long line came in with plates in a short while, and exquisite dishes were put on the table one by one.

"The chef who invited me to cook today has just won the first prize in the Sichuan Cuisine Competition. You can try his skills." Jiang Tiancheng said in a very proud tone, showing off the dishes he thought were the most delicious. In front of Jiang Xi and the others.

It's just that his hospitality was in the wrong place. Jiang Xi can't eat spicy food the most. He lost his appetite when he saw the red dishes.

Even the green vegetables are stir-fried with dried chili. It can be said that none of the dishes on the table is without chili. It feels like that dish without chili will lose its soul.

Looking at the dishes on the table, Lin Wang frowned unhappily, turned his head and called out to the waiter, and even gave him the names of several dishes, all of which were light and salty ones that Jiang Xi likes to eat on weekdays.

"Um, hello sir, we don't have crab roe tofu dish here, would you like to change it?" the waiter asked.

"I know," Lin Wang took out a card from his trouser pocket and handed it to the waiter, "Take this card to your chef, and he will make it for me."

The waiter immediately took the card and quickly replied several hello.

At the end, Lin Wang added: "These dishes will be charged to my account, they don't have to be counted with this table."

Seeing him pretending to force Jiang Xi, he didn't feel greasy, tilted his head and raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Yo, bossy boss."

"Low-key, low-key." Lin Wang pinched Jiang Xi's palm.

It's pretty cool, and it's very comfortable.

Lin Wang explained with an apologetic smile: "Xixi, he can't eat spicy food."

Although it was an explanation, it was a loud slap on the faces of the two couples opposite.They didn't even know the taste of their own children.

"Ah, is that so?" Aunt Liu smiled awkwardly, trying to ease the atmosphere, "Tsk, it's my fault, it's my fault, I don't understand Xixi's taste well. Xixi, you should come over more in the future Let's play here and let Aunt Liu know more about you... Your father also misses you very much and talks about you every day."

"That's right," Jiang Tian stood up and started to play emotional cards, "Although Dad is busy every day, he misses you every day, but he didn't call you because he was worried that you were too tired from studying and didn't want to disturb you. You won't blame Dad, will you?"

Jiang Xi sneered and replied, "No, because I don't care at all."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Tiancheng and the others finally couldn't hold back the smiles on their faces, they froze and held back their anger, looking like they were about to explode.

"That is, who cares about a father who abandoned him because of Xiaosan when he was young," Zhou Ping sneered triumphantly, then turned his head and said to Jiang Xi with a gentle smile, "Since we can't eat first, let's take the cake first." Open it, mom bought you your favorite cream cake, the cream is..."

"Since I had diarrhea from eating cream cake when I was nine years old, I don't like it anymore, don't you know?" Jiang Xi raised his eyebrows and asked.

At that time, it was not long before Zhou Ping and Jiang Tiancheng divorced, and Jiang Tiancheng married into the Liu family and hadn't yet gained a firm foothold. It was impossible for him to take Jiang Xi there, so he left him to Zhou Ping.

Zhou Ping was busy at that time, so he left Jiang Xi to his grandmother.

It was his ninth birthday that year. Zhou Ping and Jiang Tian didn't come, nor did they call, and they completely forgot about it, but grandma remembered Jiang Xi's birthday and Jiang Xi's love of cream cakes.

One person took out the change he had saved from the oil tank and took the bus to the county to buy a six-inch cream cake for Jiang Xi. At that time, his grandfather was not there, and Jiang Xi and his grandmother were the only ones at home. Grandma was reluctant to eat the cream cake , let Jiang Xi eat it all by himself.

Jiang Xi likes to eat cream cakes, but he just likes to eat the cream on the top. He would definitely not be able to finish such a big cake. He didn't want to waste it, so he cut out a small piece of cake and scraped off the rest of the cream. On a small piece of cake, eat it all.

That night he started to vomit and have diarrhea, which frightened his grandma to death, and finally called a car in a panic to take him to the hospital.

But this left a deep shadow on little Jiang Xi. Since then, although Jiang Xi did not resist cream, he couldn't accept cream cake anyway, and felt like vomiting when he saw it.

Jiang Xi looked at Zhou Ping's froze expression, and continued to mockingly said: "Oh yes, I forgot, at that time only my grandma was with me for my birthday, and you two didn't even call, so you must have forgotten it long ago." .”

"Hehe, that's how it is. We made a note of it," Xiao Yaoming immediately came out to smooth things over, "Then don't eat the cake for now. Xixi, don't blame your mother, when we are in our grade, our memory is not as good as before. gone."

"Yes, yes, sometimes I keep forgetting Jiang Qiao's birthday when I'm busy, which makes him mad." Aunt Liu explained immediately.

Jiang Xi did not reply, and did not express his opinion on the explanation they gave.

After passing these two places, they didn't dare to say anything casually, for fear of making something more embarrassing, they sat there quietly waiting for the food to be served.

The efficiency of this hotel is pretty good. The newly ordered dishes didn't take long for them to be served, and the table was crowded with dishes. Without waiting for them to greet, Jiang Xi directly picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

Only when you are full will you have the strength to deal with them.

The author has something to say:

I recently wrote a manuscript and wrote it to Lin Wang's mother. Hey, as soon as this matter is finished, our Miss An Sheng is about to appear on the stage, and she rubbed her hands excitedly.I estimate that it will end between 55 words and 60 words. Of course, I can’t say it well. This is just my estimate... No matter, I just write the story I want to write completely, and it doesn’t matter how much he wants Words (I originally estimated 50, but now it seems...more than that.)

First get a vaccination in advance (spoiler spoiler), An Sheng's appearance means that the two of them will part temporarily, but it is not a reunion!It's not reunion after a broken mirror!It's not reunion after a broken mirror! (Say important things three times)

Well... you guys can guess about this... I can only spoil this one..
