Abuse's extravagance

Once a person is famous, his worth also rises. Behind the success, some freedom must be sacrificed.

Originally, the two brothers decided to go out to dinner with their family to celebrate the award, but after returning from Beijing, the two cases kept coming one after another, and they could barely spare time to spend with their family, and it took half a month to free up time.

In order to make up for his missed appointment, Luo Jie booked a top-notch teppanyaki in a five-star hotel, which was cooked by a French Michelin chef, intending to let his parents enjoy it luxuriously.

At six o'clock in the evening, the whole family stepped into the hotel together, took the elevator on the left, and came to the teppanyaki restaurant on the 32nd floor.

The receptionist in a black suit and white gloves, with a friendly smile on his face, stood in front of the frosted glass sliding door from the ceiling vertically to the ground, and opened the door for the guests who came to dine here.

As soon as you step into the entrance, the cool light beam and the clear light reflected from the large vertical glass wine cabinet immediately jump into your eyes.The burgundy carpet, black glossy marble bar counter, red and black interlaced color matching, black leather seats and metal chair feet intertwine with a lustrous texture, presenting a luxurious visual feast, and the atmosphere alone will take your breath away.

"Do you have a reservation?" the counter staff asked politely.

"Roger."

The staff at the counter checked the reservation form and confirmed that it was correct, "Mr. Luo, there are six people dining tonight. The box is ready for you. Please wait to be seated." Then, she whispered into the small microphone next to her ear, and did not come out. After a while, a male receptionist immediately came to the front and led them to a private box.

At this time, the exclusive waiter was already standing at the door and waiting for the guests to enter the box. He came to the two women one after another to help pull the chairs, and then poured water from the kettle.

"This is our menu for tonight, please refer to it." He handed the black printed silver menu to Luo Jie, who was in charge, "Also, this is our wine list."

Luo Jie said politely, "Thank you."

"Please take a look at the menu first, I will order for you later." He handed the menu to other guests in order, and then walked out of the box.

The six people quietly looked at the menu in their hands, and finally decided on their meals, waiting for the waiter to come in.

"I want a sea and turf set meal, and the beef should be medium rare." Luo Jie ordered the largest portion of the meal.

"The two of us want the Wagyu A set meal, and they are both medium-familiar." Ye Qingfeng pointed at himself and his wife.

"I want the lobster set meal, and she wants the lamb medium rare." Knowing his wife's taste, Luo Ruirong ordered for her.

Finally, it was Roy's turn, "I want the chef's set meal, thank you." He handed over to the chef to handle tonight's meal.

"Do you want some wine, please?"

Luo Jie made his own decision without asking other people: "No, please give us fresh juice, thank you." Qingfeng will have to drive later, and his father usually does not drink at all.

After ordering, the waiter served a trilogy of cold appetizers.Counting from the right side of the plate, the first dish is shredded yam with berry sauce, followed by a refreshing salad made of diced fresh fruit and shrimp meat; the last item is scallops fried until golden, topped with special sauce and caviar .

Qin Sulan, who finished the appetizer first, began to look around.The daughter and son-in-law next to each other are feeding each other sweetly, and the sons facing each other are eating gracefully.

Hey~ It's not that she is boasting: her two sons are outstanding, both in terms of appearance and physique.The two of them work side by side, and the picture is really beautiful!pity. ．The fly in the ointment is that each has fewer women who can match.

"Luo Jie, why didn't you bring your girlfriend here on a day like today? We've been dating for almost four years, and you still haven't brought your girlfriend."

Hearing my mother bring up the topic of "girlfriend" again, the other family members kept silent and ate quietly.Even Roy, one of the parties involved, remained calm and left the matter to Luo Jie to handle.

"Mom, do you think I don't understand what's going on in your head? I said I don't plan to get married." Looking at his mother's eyes with ulterior motives, Luo Jie reiterated his statement.

She thought that after her younger sister became pregnant, the mother would shift the focus to her, but she didn't expect that the pregnancy would prompt her to force her to marry her even more.

If I had known about him, I wouldn't have mentioned anything about his girlfriend. Before it was announced, he was only occasionally whispered by his mother.

In fact, he has been wanting to reveal his relationship with Roy to his parents for several years. If Roy hadn't insisted on objecting, maybe he wouldn't have to worry about "forced marriage" now.

It's not that he doesn't understand Roy's thoughts. Once the relationship between the two is announced, it will inevitably cause a storm and both parties will be hurt.But without "revolution", how can we advance to a better future?

"Why fall in love if you're not married!?" Xiulan asked in surprise.

Luo Jie was dumbfounded by his mother's words, "Mom, for you, what is the purpose of marriage?" In his view, marriage and love are not an absolute causal relationship. The reason why people want to get married is because they want to Get that tangible commitment.

Although he also made a promise to Roy, looking back at what he said more than three years ago: "He knows that they can't implement this promise in a tangible way, but it doesn't matter whether there is a ceremony and a marriage certificate. The relationship between the two is "love" and "hearts that value each other".

For him at the time, the proposal was to calm Roy's heart.As time goes by, he sticks to this belief more now than he did at the time.

Xiulan said sternly: "Of course it is for the sake of carrying on the family." This old concept has been deeply ingrained in her heart.

Luo Jie frowned in disapproval, "What if I say I don't want to have children?" He tentatively said, wanting to pave the way for the matter between him and Roy.

"No, as the eldest son, you must carry on the family line of our Luo family. If you don't give birth, you will be unfilial!" Xiulan immediately changed her face and reprimanded loudly.

Hearing his mother say such harsh words, Roy's face was full of worry. "Jie..." The hand under the tablecloth gently tugged at Luo Jie's fingers, telling him to stop talking back to his mother.

In the past, Luo Jie always responded with a few perfunctory words. He didn't understand how he would argue with his mother today?

Luo Jie in turn clasped his hand tightly, as if telling him not to worry about himself.

"Mom, this has nothing to do with filial piety or not! Your ideas are too old." He smiled, not taking her anger into his eyes.

As a supporter of this taboo relationship, how could Luo Tingting allow her mother to sabotage her? She answered immediately: "Mom, you are too biased. Why are only boys able to carry on the family? Isn't the child in my belly a child of the Luo family? ?”

The child's father: Ye Qingfeng used silence to support his wife's words.

Seeing her daughter and son-in-law standing on Luo Jie's side, Xiulan opened her eyes wide, "Luo Ruirong, what do the children say?" She immediately moved out of her husband, trying to use his majesty to suppress them.

"My son is grown up, he will take care of his own affairs, don't meddle too much." One sentence explained Luo Ruirong's position.

"you.."

Luo Ruirong turned a blind eye to his wife's dissatisfaction.At this time, the waiter knocked on the door and served soup, restraining her anger in order to take care of her face.

The scene was frozen for a while, and after the waiter left, she started nagging again: "Anyway, let me tell you, as long as women want to marry the person they love, don't waste their youth." She said Insights from birth as a woman.

"He's not what you think he is."

"What do you mean she's not that kind of person? You bring her to meet me, and I'll immediately see through her lies and show you if she really doesn't want to marry you." Xiulan's tone was very affirmative.She always thought that the woman didn't want to put pressure on her son, so she echoed his thoughts and said that she didn't want to get married.

"No need." Luo Jie didn't want to continue arguing with her about such meaningless things, because what he said about him was "he" rather than "she".The matter between him and Roy is not suitable to be applied to the secular relationship between men and women.

Seeing Luo Jie's attitude was tough and unwilling to say more, Xiulan turned to inquire about news from her youngest son, "Xiao Yi, have you met your brother's girlfriend?" She thought: The two brothers live together, there must be a chance Met Luo Jie and brought his girlfriend home.

In the middle of the meal, Roy was inexplicably called by name, and Roy paused for a moment, "Mmm..." Chewing a bit of elastic matsutake, he responded vaguely.

Xiulan interpreted it as the answer she wanted to hear, her eyes lit up, and she asked impatiently, "How does she look? What kind of girl is she? What do you think of her?"

While waiting for her son to respond, she gestured to her husband with her eyes, asking him to switch seats with her, so as to find out more news about the girl from her son.

"What!?" Roy frowned involuntarily. His mother's series of questions really stumped him.Suddenly he was asked to describe himself as a bystander, should he be praised?Or belittle yourself?

Xingyan narrowed his eyes slightly and sent a distress signal to the brother and sister at the side, but they received the appearance of the two waiting to "watch a good show".He looked back resentfully.

The spoon in his hand was turning back and forth towards the gorgeous thick soup, and a smile suddenly flashed across his slightly troubled face. (Jie, don’t think that this is nothing to do with you.)

"Mom, let me tell you, Jie's girlfriend looks like..." He tilted his head in a gesture of thinking and hesitated to speak.

"How?" As soon as she caught the bait, Xiulan immediately clung to it.

Roy frowned heavily, "He looks like a man but is difficult to deal with and loves to play tricks. I really don't know what he likes about him?" Shaking his head, he showed a disapproving expression.

He would say this, on the one hand, he wanted his mother to mislead her and let her give up the idea of ​​forcing the marriage, and on the other hand, he deliberately wanted to embarrass Luo Jie.

Hearing this sentence, the juice that Luo Tingting had just put into her mouth spurted out with a "puff", and her whole body was choked and coughed violently.

"Tingting, how are you?" Ye Qingfeng anxiously came behind her and patted her on the back.

"I'm fine... It's fine..." The cough suddenly turned into giggles, and Luo Tingting opened her legs wide and laughed loudly.Her chubby belly rose and fell as she gasped violently.

Unable to see her daughter's behavior, Luo Ruirong whispered solemnly: "Luo Tingting, don't forget that you are pregnant now, behave yourself." A woman laughed so disregarding her image, if the waiter came in at this time, it would be a shame to him It must have all been lost.

"Qingfeng quickly stop her." Xiulan was worried about her safety.It's still a month away from full term, and she doesn't want her grandson to report early.

"Tingting stop laughing." Although Ye Qingfeng uttered a voice to stop her, there was nothing he could do.

While his parents were focusing on his younger sister, Luo Jie lightly touched the hand of the person beside him, and gave him a look: (You...) He narrowed his black eyes slightly, as if he was condemning him.

(Who told you to watch the show on the sidelines.) Roy looked back at him fearlessly, and then continued to eat.

"Luo Jie, how could you have such a girlfriend? I don't want to have a difficult wife." Listening to her youngest son, Xiulan said earnestly.

"Mom, don't worry, it is impossible for you to have a daughter-in-law in this life." Luo Tingting, who had finally stopped smiling, said something surprising as soon as she opened her mouth.

Xiulan asked in confusion: "What does this mean?" If Luo Jie didn't get married, she could still pin her hopes on Roy.

"Second brother doesn't plan to get married just like elder brother, so don't think about it." Luo Tingting responded with mystery.

"Luo Tingting!" Roy glared at her, warning her not to add fuel to the fire.

Seeing the embarrassment on her youngest son's face, Xiulan felt a burst of panic, "Xiao Yi, is what your sister said true?" She thought that Roy didn't have a girlfriend because he didn't meet anyone he liked, and it seemed that there was something hidden.

"I..." Roy wanted to admit it, but when he saw his mother's disappointed expression, he swallowed it back abruptly.

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Luo Jie interrupted with a stern face: "Mom, today's dinner is mainly to celebrate our award, can you please stop lingering on this topic, and make everyone lose their appetite!"

Luo Ruirong echoed: "My son is right. From now on, you are not allowed to mention marriage. Eat quietly." Just listening quietly from the side, she was annoyed by her series of questions, let alone It's the party.

Hearing her husband's merciless order, Xiulan said: "Whether you want to get married or have children in the future is none of my business." She bowed her head to eat unhappy.

After dinner, she put on a bad face, but no one spoke to comfort her, because everyone knew that she was just talking in anger, and it wouldn't take long for her to repeat the same old tune.

After enjoying the high-end meals and services, the family walked slowly to the underground parking lot of the hotel.

When they came to the car park, Luo Jie patted his sister-in-law on the shoulder, "Qingfeng, parents will trouble you, drive carefully on the way back."

"I know big brother, I will send my parents home safely." Ye Qingfeng responded with a smile, then got into the car and started the engine.

"Dad, Mom, are you full for dinner today? I'll treat you to dinner next time." Roy stood to one side and looked at them.

Seeing her mother turning away and ignoring her, Luo Tingting hugged her arm coquettishly, "Mom, you are still angry! Be careful that the wrinkles on your face will come out." Slim fingers pointed at the corners of her drooping mouth, boldly joking .

"What wrinkles! I don't have any wrinkles on my face." Xiulan pouted.

Roy took her other arm and started a soft policy, "Mom takes such good care, how could there be wrinkles on her face, Luo Tingting, I think you have to review, you are only 26 years old, and the crow's feet at the corners of your eyes are fine when you smile. Killed the mosquito."

"Second brother!" Luo Tingting stomped angrily.He didn't even think about who helped him out just now, his kindness was not rewarded.

"Luo Tingting, prenatal education! Prenatal education!" Luo Jie also joined in the mockery.

Luo Tingting pouted in displeasure, "Huh! If you're such a good husband and wife, you'll bully me and ignore you." After saying that, she got into the passenger seat.

Roy's heart was shocked by her metaphor, and he looked nervously at the parents present, but the parents didn't hear anything, and followed her into the car.

Watching Qingfeng's car turn a corner and drive out of the B4 parking lot, his tense nerves finally relaxed, "Oh my God! This dinner is really exhausting." Twisting his stiff shoulders and neck, he sighed Take a long breath.

Luo Jie smiled slightly, "I can't stand it just like this, then you know how much torture I have suffered in the past few years!"

"I see you're enjoying it," he teased.

"I can't help it, who told me that my difficult lover has been refusing to compromise, so I have to bear it silently." Luo Jie retorted with a sigh.

Roy smiled knowingly, walked to the SUV, and waited for him to unlock the door.The SUV beeped as Luo Jie pressed the remote control lock, and he opened the door and got in.

"It's almost nine o'clock. Where are you going? If it's okay, let's go home." When he was about to close the car door, one hand grabbed the door first to block his movement.

"I don't want to go home yet." Luo Jie propped his hands on the roof of the car, bent his body, and looked at him from a close distance.

Roy raised his eyes and asked puzzledly, "Where are you going?" Didn't I hear him mention where he was going earlier?And I have to go to work tomorrow.

"I booked a room upstairs, and we'll stay here tonight." The thin lips raised a beautiful arc, and Luo Jie's dark eyes radiated seductive heat in the dark.

Roy blinked his eyes in astonishment.

"You go up and wait for me, I'll go to the lobby to get something and then I'll be there." Handing over the electronic door card and car keys in his coat pocket, Luo Jie stepped out of his sight with steady steps.

Looking at the items in his hands, Roy thought to himself: If he doesn't run away now, he won't be able to sleep tonight.

A smile slowly appeared on her delicate face, she stepped out of the car door with long legs, and after locking the car, the tall and thin figure walked towards the passenger elevator.
