The Qiao family mansion is still the same as before, with a combination of nobility and romance, exuding the solemn atmosphere of an imperial family.Thinking of what Lu Xizhan looked like before she came, Qiao Yixia couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth.

"Would yellow be too bright, but black seems less auspicious."

Such a psychologist, who is used to being self-centered, would be nervous in the first place.She laughed at her like this, even Lan Xuewu laughed too.But she knew in her heart that Lu Xizhan cared about her family so much because she loved her.Because he wanted to be with her so much, he regarded every meal as an assessment.

The butlers and servants of Qiao's family are all professionally trained. The old butler looks naive, especially like the senior butler in the British earl's house.

"Sister Lu, don't be nervous. My aunt and uncle look serious, but they are actually very nice." Lan Xuewu wore a formal attire, and she looked a bit like a strong woman. Girls from ordinary families are different. Even for dinner, they can't dress casually.

"No." Lu Xizhan said lightly.

Qiao Yixia patted her on the shoulder and held her hand.As everyone knows, the door in front of him is clearly a wall.

The complicated crystal lighting illuminated the marble floor brightly, and he took a few steps forward, stepping on the soft wool carpet, just in time to meet the gaze of the handsome young man on the sofa.

For a moment, both Lan Xuewu and Qiao Yixia Lu Xizhan froze in place as if swallowing a fly, speechless for a few seconds.

"Uncle and aunt, hello." In the end, Lu Xizhan broke the deadlock. She was holding the exquisite gifts she had prepared, a set of tea sets, and a landscape painting that had been bid at the auction before. I hope the two elders like it."

"Thank you, Xizhan."

The man on the sofa had sword-browed and star-eyed, tall and slender figure. When he stood up, he was half a head taller than Lucy Chan. Complement each other without any sense of disobedience.He stretched out his hand to Lu Xizhan, with a dimple on his mouth: "Professor Lu, I have known you for a long time. My name is Shen Heng."

Lu Xizhan raised a polite smile and held his hand: "Mr. Shen, hello."

Lan Xuewu stood beside Qiao Yixia, seeing her face turn livid, feeling uneasy, she always felt that something was going to happen, and the fact proved that her premonition was correct.

Qiao Yixia was lying between Shen Heng and Lu Xizhan, looked at Lu Xizhan and said, "Xizhan, I'm not feeling well, let's go home."

"Yi Xia."

The sound of Yi Xia came from two people at the same time, one was Qiao Yihai and the other was Lu Xizhan.Qiao Yixia didn't look at Qiao Yihai, but frowned at Lu Xizhan.

"Yixia, no matter what, after finishing this meal, don't have any emotions."

"Xizhan... Isn't my father's meaning clear enough?" After finishing speaking, she looked at Qiao Yihai, "Dad, why didn't you tell me that someone else was present for dinner today?"

Qiao Yihai's face was displeased: "Yixia, can you be so rude when talking to elders?"

"Yixia." Lu Xizhan said in a low voice, "If you don't want to make me angry, you can finish this meal in peace and don't contradict your father again."

"Xizhan, why?"

Just because your father regards you more than his own son.

However, Lu Xizhan couldn't say these words.All she could do was follow Qiao Yixia's parents' wishes and patiently finish the meal.No matter how proud a person is, there are times when he is wronged.She has thought about many scenarios. For example, Qiao's father and mother will ask her some questions, asking her if she has considered how the two women will live in the future, and she will tell them her plans for the future, so that they can rest assured that Qiao Yixia will be handed over to her. she.Maybe they still disagree, but it doesn't matter, she has full patience, as long as she is sincere, there is nothing she can't do.For this meal, she had to put on her makeup for several hours. If it was lighter, it would not be solemn enough, but if it was thicker, it would be too seductive.She has always been very conceited about her appearance, but for the first time she felt that no matter how she changed her appearance, she was not beautiful enough.

But she didn't expect it to be like this.

Several people sat around the long white dining table, and the servants served exquisite dishes one after another. The chandelier above his head was glowing hotly, which not only reminded Lan Xuewu of a beautiful painting called "The Last Supper" .The arrangement of seats was even more awkward, Qiao Yixia sat on one side with her and Qiao's mother, Lu Xizhan sat on one side with Shen Heng, and Qiao Yihai sat on the main seat.

"Well, today's food is really delicious..." Lan Xuewu was terrified by the cramped atmosphere, looking around, everyone had no expression on their faces, as if what they were eating was not food, but meat.She couldn't take it anymore, so she had to take the lead in breaking the embarrassment.

As expected, her words not only failed to save the scene, but made the atmosphere even more embarrassing.

In the end, Shen Heng accepted her words: "Yes, the food at Uncle's house is really delicious."

"Come here often if it's delicious. Our cook can cook a lot of dishes. Xiaoheng likes it, so I'll come here every day." Mother Qiao said lovingly, and then looked at Lucy, "Where's Xizhan? Is the food to your liking?"

Lu Xizhan nodded: "It's delicious, thank you Auntie."

"It's fine if you like it, it's fine if you like it."

Qiao Yihai put down his chopsticks, his eyes were deep, like a noble monarch who looked down on the world: "Yes, after all, Xizhan and Yixia are such good friends, and they take good care of us Xizhan on weekdays, and are considerate and reasonable , we should all thank you very much."

"Father..." Qiao Yixia finally couldn't hold back her emotions, and wanted to refute.

"Uncle will be offended by saying that." Lu Xizhan interrupted her, glanced at her, and motioned her to stop talking, "Besides, Yixia took good care of me no less than I did her."

Qiao Yihai pursed his lips and smiled, without further words.

Lan Xuewu took a sip of the orange juice and felt tightness in his chest.This was the first time she wished so much that dinner could be finished quickly.She felt stupid and stupid, thinking that her uncle had finally begun to accept Qiao Yixia and Lu Xizhan's feelings, so she rushed to tell them the "good news" excitedly and self-righteously, who knew it was not the case at all, and made them happy in vain. It made Qiao Yixia sullen and almost broke out, and it made the always strong Lu Xizhan bear in every possible way and begged for perfection.She felt stupid.

"Well, Uncle, although your food is really delicious, I ate too much at noon. If I say I'm full now, you won't be angry, right?" Shen Heng laughed. Huya, especially the way the pair of phoenix eyes are squinted and smiling, is indeed very charming.

"How could it be?" Qiao Yihai also smiled lovingly, looking at Shen Heng as if looking at his own son, "Yi Xia, I don't think you moved your chopsticks much, are you eating too much at noon just like Xiao Heng?" ? If you really can’t eat it, you can accompany Xiao Heng to the garden.”

"I have a good appetite." Qiao Yixia didn't even look at Qiao Yihai, and started to eat the ribs on the plate.

"Uncle, don't think I'm lazy. I haven't liked to move since I was a child. Compared with going for a walk, I'm still used to lying on the sofa after eating..." Shen Heng said.

Seeing that Shen Heng made a sensible rescue, Qiao Yihai's face became better: "That's fine."

"Yixia, you are so rude!" After Shen Heng left, Qiao Yihai angrily threw his chopsticks on the table.

"Daddy, all I can do is finish this meal. That's all."

Lu Xizhan watched all this, but didn't speak.Parents educate their children, no one has the position to intervene, not to mention, she is still an outsider who is not recognized by Qiao's father.

"Okay, okay." After all, Mother Qiao felt sorry for her daughter, and couldn't help but come out to be a peacemaker. "It's rare for my daughter to come back for dinner, so you should say a few words less."

Qiao Yixia couldn't even remember when this terrible dinner ended, she only remembered that there was a faint smile on Lu Xizhan's face from the beginning to the end, and all the good cultivation that a lady should have were fully reflected in her body.But what she didn't know was that Lu Xizhan didn't care about the so-called self-restraint, all she wanted to do was not to embarrass Qiao Yixia, that's all.

After the meal, Qiao Yihai deliberately sent Qiao Yixia away. Naturally, Qiao Yixia couldn't listen to him, leaving Lu Xizhan alone to face the domineering Qiao Yihai.She won't abandon her, even if Qiao Yihai really doesn't recognize her as a daughter, she can't make Lu Xichen feel a little wronged.

"Yixia, it will be the beginning of spring soon, go to the room and tidy up, get some warm clothes, and we will take them home." Lu Xizhan looked at her and said word by word, she noticed the reluctance in Qiao Yixia's eyes, But he still said firmly, "Go."

Seeing the stalemate between the two sides, Lan Xuewu had no choice but to drag Qiao Yixia upstairs.If it continues to be delayed like this, I'm afraid the atmosphere will really get worse and worse.

"Xizhan, the Qiao family is sorry for you."

Qiao Yihai stared at Lu Xizhan, his eyes were slowly filled with water vapor, the wrinkles on his face were deep, and the top of his head was covered with white hair, he, who had been stripped of his prison body like this, was not at all like the fierce The king is like a hedgehog whose thorns have been pulled out.

"Uncle, the Qiao family has nothing to apologize to me."

Qiao Yihai sighed, and looked at Shen Heng: "Xiao Heng knows about you, but even so, he still prefers Yixia and has never wavered. Xi Zhan, please understand that a father My heart, Mrs. Qiao, can't be followed by no one..."

Lu Xizhan chuckled, the villa is so big, there is no place for her eyes to rest for a while.She looked down at the corner of her skirt, silent.Yes, she could give Qiao Yixia everything, but she couldn't give her a child.Qiao Yihui has already gone, is she going to take her daughter away from him selfishly?Qiao Yihai has worked hard all his life, but in the end, will he really end up with nothing but personal wealth?

Shen Heng wanted to say something, but in the end he just shook his head.

"Uncle, I just said that I will not leave Yixia voluntarily, but this does not mean that Yixia has the responsibility and obligation to stay by my side."

"Yes... I know, I also admit that your feelings for Yixia are really untouchable, even for me, once... But, I can't just watch Qiao's being broken in Yixia's hand like this." Xi Zhan, if you can really understand the heart of a father, I beg you, persuade her, okay?"

"Uncle." Lu Xizhan looked at him, and the two finally met each other, "Just because she can go, doesn't mean I'm willing to drive her away. I understand your love for her as Yixia's father, but I also hope that you can Understand how I love her as Yixia's lover."
