Euthanasia

The dinner became lively as the crowd gradually arrived. The table gathered by the children was almost full of female relatives. Shanna was supposed to come to this table, but she was naturally late and sat next to Lu Yi, next to Liu Zhiwei. together.

When Zhu Yuli served the dishes, she always moved in front of the pregnant women, as affectionate as her own daughter-in-law, but Liu Zhiwei knew that she just liked children.

Liu Zhiwei felt so guilty about this, and he gave Shanna food over and over again, which made Shanna very confused, and made Lu Yi stare at Jon several times to signal him to take care of his partner.

After receiving Lu Yi's gaze, Jon grabbed a huge chicken leg for Liu Zhiwei.

Lu Yi: "..."

When it comes to the New Year's Eve dinner, there are a few topics that everyone can't do without, family, career, and income.Liu Zhiwei has become the focus of attention. Uncles and uncles may not know it at first, but their wives like to watch TV, and their daughter likes to chase stars online. Liu Zhiwei is very popular all year round, and he is a permanent hotspot. These old men must also know up.There was only one Zhu Xuan sitting at the table, watching this scene kept burning in his heart.

He knows what the previous New Year's Eve dinners were like, and many people will revolve around him asking what achievements he has made this year, how much his salary has been raised, and other topics.Immediately afterwards, he will receive a lot of compliments, and others will gossip about the situation of his peers.Needless to say, Liu Zhiwei's family, Yang Shuo, who barely made some money, was much worse than him, and he naturally had a kind of pride and pride.

But now, everyone in front of him is talking about Liu Zhiwei, as if his bad deeds in the past have all disappeared.He also pretended to bring a few foreigners here, which made Zhu Xuan jealous and furious.

After Zhu Yuli finished serving the food, she was coaxed to the table by several people. Seeing that Zhu Xuan didn't say a word, she was her nephew after all, so she said hello: "Xuan Xuan, how is your work recently? Yes. Didn’t you rise again? Congratulations!”

Zhu Xuan snorted unhappily.

At this time, Liu Zhiwei's second uncle said: "People with high education are different. They earn a lot. We only make 60 to [-] yuan a year. It's a good time for business."

Liu Zhiwei kept his eyes on his nose and his heart, and ate the chicken legs to himself.

Seeing that Liu Zhiwei didn't speak, Jon didn't speak, and poured some drinks for Liu Zhiwei.

But the teenagers in the seats next to them couldn't stay, they kept rushing here to take pictures. After a while, the children of Liu Zhiwei's uncle and his second uncle came again and wanted to take a photo with Liu Zhiwei.Liu Zhiwei said casually: "When you take a group photo and send it out, remember to code it for other people, so as not to affect the normal life of uncles and aunts."

"It won't affect it! My classmates are so envious!" The little girl almost screamed.

"Hey wait..." Liu Zhiwei saw her posting it with a "whoosh", and it was too late to stop it.

Seeing that the topic was being dragged away by Liu Zhiwei again, Zhu Xuan's expression became even worse.Originally, when Liu Zhiwei was not in the limelight, he didn't think about the other party, and felt that it was pitiful to be kicked out of the house, but now he only felt that the other party was putting on airs.

A few women at the other table were embarrassed to ask Liu Zhiwei for autographs, so they urged their children to ask for it. Liu Zhiwei, like holding a family press conference, signed the places they asked one by one, and warned the other few while signing. A child: "It's okay to sign, but the photo will be coded by others, do you understand?"

Several children agreed.As long as you show your own face and Liu Zhiwei's face, no one else is important.

The atmosphere at the whole dining table was pleasant, and Zhu Yuli looked around keenly, only to see that Zhu Xuan's complexion became even worse. She teased Liu Zhiwei and said, "Come, serve me a dish."

Liu Zhiwei realized something, and immediately left the table with Zhu Yuli.

After Zhu Yuli got into the kitchen, Zhu Xuan kept staring at Liu Zhiwei before moving away.He glanced at those happy teenagers, took out his mobile phone and entered Liu Zhiwei in the search bar.

If you don't search, you don't know. When you search, overwhelming news comes out densely.

After Liu Zhiwei was dragged into the kitchen by Zhu Yuli, she only heard Zhu Yuli say: "Xuanxuan has found a good job in the past few years, and he has a high reputation. You should watch it, don't be too hateful."

"What's wrong with him?" Liu Zhiwei used to remember that Zhu Xuan didn't have such a big air, he just liked reading and always read alone, and didn't play with Liu Zhiwei and Yang Shuo very much, "I don't want to compare with him."

"Look at you now, those young people like you, so he can't do it if he feels a little bit about himself, your aunt is just like Yang Shuo's father, he has a good face, you can praise him for a while, don't make things difficult for your uncle He is honest, it is not easy to raise such a son."

Liu Zhiwei understood what Zhu Yuli meant, and immediately asked, "What does he like to eat?"

"Big Xia, I just got bored, and you can bring it to him in a while." Zhu Yuli said, "We are all one family, so there is no need for conflict."

Liu Zhiwei had no prejudice against Zhu Xuan, he nodded and said, "Okay."

"In fact, he has just been a regular for a few years. Your uncle told me that his salary plus year-end bonus last year was only 70 million yuan. He got a little extra money by doing a project with a teacher in his university, which is quite high here. He has a good relationship with this teacher, and the relationship he was looking for allowed him to get in. He has a good undergraduate degree, and his teacher's face was not low when he was an intern. The outstanding ones are somewhat arrogant. It will be good after two years of training."

Liu Zhiwei nodded, and said, "I don't know anything about investing, so I can't compliment you, so I can only serve shrimp."

Zhu Yuli touched Liu Zhiwei's head and said with a smile, "Good son."

Liu Zhiwei came out with a prawn in his hand. As soon as he came out, he saw Zhu Xuan staring blankly at Jon. Seeing Liu Zhiwei coming out, he suddenly raised his head to look at Liu Zhiwei.

The expression on Liu Zhiwei's face did not change. He put the prawns in front of him and said with a smile, "I remember you used to love prawns. Let's see how my mother cooks! Try one."

Zhu Xuan was stunned for a while, looking at the prawn in front of him, he was stabbed by his mother, and then he stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a shiny prawn.

"If I have a chance, I would like to go back to school and study again," Liu Zhiwei said. "I can't even understand the work you do, but I think it is very powerful. If you tell me after dinner, I want to hear it too."

Before Zhu Xuan could reply, Jon said from the side, "I can tell you what you want to hear."

Liu Zhiwei turned his head and glared at Jon.

Jon: "...???"

"Xuanxuan Investment Bank must be very knowledgeable." Liu Zhiwei flattered with a smile.

"Lu Yi has been helping me with the company's finances. If you want to hear professional information, you can ask Lu Yi. He has an MBA degree from Harvard." Jon was afraid that Liu Zhiwei would consider his education, so he specifically mentioned Lu Yi's past glory.

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

Hearing Jon talk about the company, the people on the side became interested and asked Jon what company it was.These foreigners spoke Chinese fluently. At the beginning, the people at the table were a little restrained, but now they found a topic and opened their mouths.

"Hurricane—" Jon said halfway and was picked up by Liu Zhiwei: "A small foreign company."

Jon was a little aggrieved, he took a look at Liu Zhiwei and felt bored.

"How do you speak Chinese so well?"

"What are the differences between foreign countries and China?"

"Zhiwei, I heard from your parents that you have been to the United States before, and I also saw photos of your mother going abroad to play with you..."

The topic turned to Jon and others again.This time Zhu Xuan didn't say a word, just stared at Qiao En and Liu Zhiwei.

He has read all the recent gossip, news on the Internet, and Liu Zhiwei's Jon's.The news is very familiar, Zhu Xuan has seen some of them, but they are all forgotten.He didn't care about the stars in the entertainment industry, so he didn't pay attention to some news classified as "lace news".

Liu Zhiwei and Jon's lace have been playing side-by-side in the news. Some people say it's true and some people say it's not. Now they are sitting at the same dining table, next to each other, and Jon keeps bringing food to each other. Zhu Xuan immediately understands what.

Liu Zhiwei was still covering up something for Jon, and Zhu Xuan felt both shocked and depressed.Liu Zhiwei, who had no knowledge, was able to get along like a fish in water with his face, and he even relied on Jon Williams.Zhu Xuan works in an investment bank in China, and has always hoped to go to a multinational investment bank, but he can see that foreigners are always pursuing, but he didn't expect that such a big man as Jon Williams was sitting in front of him, and the other party and Liu Zhiwei There is a great relationship.

Zhu Xuan seemed to have hit an easter egg, but the egg was stained with shit, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Liu Zhiwei's uncle finally couldn't help asking: "Zhiwei, how much do you actors make a year?"

"Not much," Liu Zhiwei replied immediately, "traffic stars earn a little more, I'm not very good at doing this, so I earn a little less."

Jon on the side said proudly: "He earns more than me."

Liu Zhiwei: "..." You shut up.

Jon didn't say Liu Zhiwei's annual salary, and the little girl beside him shouted: "You are so stupid! The stars are very powerful, and there are tens of millions a year. Brother Zhiwei signed so many films last year, he must earn a lot of money." A lot! Hua Xiao had 6000 million last year! Brother Zhiwei is also the best actor now!"

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

Jon said happily: "The company only paid me a few million salary last year. I said he was higher than me."

Now Liu Zhiwei really wanted to shut the mouths of his pig teammates, and yelled at Jon in his ear to make him understand the fact that he hardly went to work in the United States last year.

Those who were envious of Zhu Xuan's salary before were stunned.

Zhu Xuan's mother was stunned for a while, and asked, "Can acting make so much money?"

Zhu Xuan's mother has always felt that she is noble and her children are well-trained, so she spends all her money on her children's education, thinking that other than learning, she is heresy.As soon as she exited, she was held back by her husband.Seeing this, Zhu Yuli laughed quickly and said: "Money comes and goes quickly, and their actors also spend a lot of money. In fact, there is not much that they can spend freely, and it is all arranged by the company. Look at our house, there are many things that cannot be paid by ourselves. Let’s do it yourself, the masons are all hired from the town, and Lao Liu is plastering the walls with them.”

Zhu Yuli naturally turned the topic to the house, and Liu Zhiwei secretly slapped her on the back of his hand when he sat down.

After the food was exhausted, everyone leaned on the small tea tables to drink tea.Liu Zhiwei stayed with his grandparents for a while, and didn't get involved in the conversation among relatives, for fear of being dragged into the center of the storm again.Shanna went upstairs again, Lu Yi and Simon also disappeared, and only Jon was left with Liu Zhiwei.

While Liu Zhiwei was going to the bathroom, Jon followed him quietly, and the two embraced at the end of the quiet corridor.

"Sorry, there are always a lot of people to deal with during the Chinese New Year." Liu Zhiwei comforted Jon.

"It's nice to get to know your family," Jon said. "You have a family bond that we've long since lost."

Liu Zhiwei patted his hand: "When I was young, I found it tiresome to deal with them, but the more I grow up, the more I feel the importance of relatives. When I was young, I fell off a tree and my uncle broke his arm trying to catch me." , my uncle used to carry me to school, and I played horse riding on his back. I haven’t been home for so many years. In fact, my parents were afraid of going home and they didn’t fulfill their obligations to support the elderly. They are all other uncles and uncles. We take care of them. Many times these behaviors are taken for granted by everyone, so no one is willing to give. If we thank each other, taking care of each other will become something that everyone is willing to do."

Jon hugged Liu Zhiwei tightly from behind, rested his chin on his shoulder, and said with a sullen face, "There is only one thing I am very unhappy about."

"what?"

"Your grandparents, they thought Shanna was your wife," Jon said angrily. "I'm so angry!"

Liu Zhiwei: "...I will apologize to Lu Yi."

Standing at the entrance of the corridor, Zhu Xuan silently looked at the two people at the end of the corridor, raised his mobile phone and pointed the camera at them, but he still didn't press the button to take pictures after a while.

He put down his phone and turned to leave the corridor.

Firecrackers can also be set off in villages and towns on New Year's Eve.As several huge fireworks exploded in the night sky, the countdown on TV came to an end.

Several old people had already gone to bed early, and the others were counting down to "321" in front of the big TV screen in the living room.

Liu Zhiwei and Jon stood together, not too close or keeping a distance. When the countdown counted down, Liu Zhiwei took Jon's hand, took a step back and secretly kissed his fingers.

Zhu Yuli caught a glimpse of this and smiled quietly.

She thought this year was the most complete New Year she had ever lived, everything was just right, neither too perfect nor too incomplete.Liu Zhiwei and Jon may never have children, but they have a bright future, a romantic love, and a loyal friendship.
