Rebirth begins with rejecting Qingmei

Chapter 921 The so-called family banquet

Xu Xiuwen looked at this warm and harmonious scene with a soft smile on his face.

Suddenly he noticed someone staring at him.

He searched carefully for a week and found that it was not Cheng Lu or Cheng Qing, but Qin Xue.

He didn't care at first, until he noticed Qin Xue's eyes.

It seemed that he had something to say to him.

As for why he didn't say anything, it was naturally because there were other people in the box.

Xu Xiuwen hesitated for a second, then stood up and walked out of the box.

About a minute later.

Qin Xue also stood up and walked out of the box.

In the corridor outside the box, Xu Xiuwen was waiting for Qin Xue, leaning against the wall.

Soon, Qin Xue came out of the box.

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said: "Aunt Qin..."

As soon as he finished saying three words, Qin Xue whispered to him: "Follow me."

Xu Xiuwen was stunned.

When she came to her senses, Qin Xue had already walked forward.

Xu Xiuwen had no choice but to follow.

Arriving at the corner of the corridor, Qin Xue suddenly stopped.

Xu Xiuwen almost hit Qin Xue's back.

He took a step back and looked at Qin Xue doubtfully.

He also wanted to know what Qin Xue wanted to tell him?
  Qin Xue said nothing and looked at him quietly.

Xiao Xu is a good-looking child. He is tall and has a good figure. He is also better than his peers in other aspects.

As an elder, she also admires young people like him.

But judging from the mother-in-law's perspective, Xu Xiuwen has some "flaws" that she cannot accept.

For example, he is from a single-parent family and he does not want to go into politics or go to Hangzhou.

These factors caused her to not want her daughter to be with him.

Xiaojin is different.

Xiaojin is a good match for their family.

Many young people think love is more important than anything else.

But as someone who has been through it, Qin Xue knows very well the importance of being a good match.

Moreover, she had watched Xiaojin grow up and treated her with great respect and filial piety.

He is more reassuring than Xu Xiuwen, who grew up in a single-parent environment.

She hopes that her daughter and son-in-law can enter politics in the future.

She had chatted with Xu Xiuwen before.

Xu Xiuwen made it clear that he was unwilling to enter politics.

On the other hand, Xiaojin.

After returning to China, he joined a government agency and was praised many times by leaders of his unit.

She had heard all this.

And with the help of both parents, future promotion will not be a problem.

The last and more important reason.

That is, Xiaojin is from Hangzhou.

If her daughter marries Xiaojin, she will definitely settle in Hangzhou after marriage.

They could see Lulu at any time.

And if Lulu marries Xu Xiuwen, they will settle in Jinling in the future.

Although transportation is convenient now, no matter how convenient it is, it is not as convenient as living in a city or district.

And which parent would want their daughter to marry far away?
  These three points are the main reasons why Qin Xue believes that Chen Jin is more suitable than Xu Xiuwen.

Not to mention that Xiaojin often went to see her and asked her all kinds of questions.

On the other hand, Xu Xiuwen had never taken the initiative to go to Hangzhou to see her and Cheng's father.

Even when they first met, it was she and Father Cheng who came to Jinling on their own initiative.

Various factors affected Qin Xue's choice.

Qin Xue stopped her thoughts and said: "Xiao Xu..."

"Aunt Qin, tell me."

Xu Xiuwen's attitude was quite respectful.

Although he had already guessed that Qin Xue would probably have nothing good to do with him.

But the due etiquette must still be fulfilled.

Qin Xue asked: "Do you have anything else to do later?"

Xu Xiuwen smiled and said, "There is nothing to do at the moment. Besides, nothing is more important than spending time with you and uncle..."

Qin Xue was unmoved upon hearing this.

She said in a deep voice: "Auntie has noticed that you have been busy today. Auntie will thank you on behalf of Uncle Cheng."

"Aunt Qin, you are too polite. This is what I should do."

"I won't beat around the bush. Today's meal is a family dinner, and they must have a lot of private things to say. If you have nothing to do, go back first."

Xu Xiuwen was stunned.

He thought Qin Xue would talk to him about Cheng Lu, but he didn't expect that Qin Xue would directly ask him to go back.

The smile on Xu Xiuwen's face gradually disappeared.

People who know him well can easily guess that he is a little unhappy.

Xu Xiuwen asked in a deep voice: "Aunt Qin, is this your intention or Uncle Cheng's?"

Qin Xue was stunned when she heard this.

She didn't expect that Xu Xiuwen would ask her back.

Her expression remained unchanged as she said, "Is there any difference?"

From Qin Xue's reaction, Xu Xiuwen guessed that it was just her idea.

He helped Cheng's father find his sister.

He felt that even if Father Cheng disliked him, he would not let him leave directly.

What made him especially laughable was that Qin Xue said that tonight's meal was a family dinner.

If it was inappropriate for him to stay and attend the so-called 'family banquet', then why could Chen Jin stay?
  Qin Xue's double-standard behavior made Xu Xiuwen quite resentful.

But he didn't get angry at Qin Xue, but nodded and said: "I understand, then I'll go tell Lulu."

Qin Xue said: "No, just let me tell you. You can go directly."

Xu Xiuwen laughed angrily when he heard this.

It's hard to imagine that this was done by an elder.

I used to think that Qin Xue was a public servant of the people, and her consciousness, consciousness and quality should be higher than those of ordinary women.

But now it seems that Qin Xue may not be as good as some ordinary women.

Xu Xiuwen did not go against Qin Xue.

He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll leave now."

Qin Xue was slightly satisfied.

"Then I'll go back first."

After Qin Xue finished speaking, she turned and returned to the box.

Xu Xiuwen turned around and walked toward the office.

Liu Ruo happened to come over.

Liu Ruo's heart skipped a beat when she saw Xu Xiuwen.

She thought of the torn purple stockings.

From the damage marks on the stockings, it is not difficult to guess what happened.

The thought of An Shishi wearing her stockings and making out with Xiao Xu.

Her heartbeat quickened.

But now, she is no longer the Liu Ruo who just escaped from Liujia Village.

Liu Ruo walked up to Xu Xiuwen and said calmly: "The food is ready and will be served soon."

Seeing that Liu Ruo had misunderstood, Xu Xiuwen did not explain.

He nodded and continued walking to the office.

When Liu Ruo saw this, he was slightly startled.

She noticed that Xu Xiuwen's expression was not right, she hesitated, turned and walked towards the office.

in the office.

Xu Xiuwen just sat down on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

The door opened quickly.

Then Liu Ruo walked in.

Looking at Xu Xiuwen who was sitting on the seat with his eyes closed and concentrating, Liu Ruo was a little surprised and asked quickly: "Xiao Xu, did something happen?"

Xu Xiuwen recognized Liu Ruo's voice.

However, he did not open his eyes, he just waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I'll take a rest, you go ahead and do your work."

Liu Ruo looked at Xu Xiuwen's appearance and felt heartbroken.

Not only did she not leave, but she walked towards Xu Xiuwen.

"Ok?"

Xu Xiuwen was shocked.

It turned out that someone was rubbing his temples.

Soft fingers and appropriate strength make people feel very comfortable.

Xu Xiuwen immediately guessed who was rubbing his temples for him.

He suddenly felt a little moved in his heart.

There is an old saying that goes well: Comparing people with others will lead to death, but comparing goods with goods will lead to throwing away.

They are both mother-in-law, but there is a big gap between Liu Ruo and Qin Xue.

It stands to reason that Liu Ruo, who has lived in the countryside for many years, should not be as good as the public servant Qin Xue in terms of vision and cultivation.

But the reality is just the opposite.

Some of Qin Xue's actions make people think that she lacks tutoring.

Liu Ruo, on the other hand, is particularly considerate, gentle and kind.

Xu Xiuwen closed his eyes and said, "Thank you, Sister Liu."

Liu Ruo was shocked when she heard Xu Xiuwen's name.

The title of Sister Liu was a joke made before.

On weekdays, Xu Xiuwen mostly calls her Aunt Liu.

But now he actually called Sister Liu instead of Aunt Liu.

The words "Sister" instantly shortened the distance between the two.

At this moment, Liu Ruo felt that she was no longer Xiao Xu's mother-in-law, and Xiao Xu was no longer her son-in-law.

She is just a good sister who cares about her brother.

amount……

Liu Ruo rubbed Xu Xiuwen's temples and asked, "Can you tell me?"

No matter how generous Liu Ruo is, he doesn't care how many boats he rides on.

There are some things that Xu Xiuwen shouldn't say to Liu Ruo.

But at this moment, he couldn't help but want to complain.

Xu Xiuwen told Qin Xue's objection to him and Cheng Lu.

After hearing this, Liu Ruo immediately understood why Xu Xiuwen was like this.

Her first reaction was to feel sorry for Xu Xiuwen.

It must be a headache to have such a mother-in-law.

Then there was another feeling of joy.

Cheng Lu's mother was so opposed to her daughter being with Xiao Xu.

Doesn't that mean her daughter has a chance?
  But immediately she felt ashamed of her thoughts.

Xiao Xu takes such good care of their mother and daughter.

He's having a headache now.

She didn't help him find a solution, but she was secretly glad.

This is very bad.

Liu Ruo shook his head and threw away the unwanted thoughts.

She comforted her softly: "Don't worry, take your time, I believe she will accept you one day."

Xu Xiuwen couldn't help but ask: "Sister Liu, aren't you angry?"

"Why am I angry?" Liu Ruo asked puzzledly.

Xu Xiuwen opened his eyes and looked up.

I happened to catch Liu Ruo's eyes.

Those eyes were not as clear and bright as those of an innocent girl, but they also contained more emotions because they had experienced more things. Xu Xiuwen was slightly startled and said: "I am so carefree, I only have a few boats, and I am still not satisfied with poetry and water..."

Liu Ruowen was silent for a few seconds.

"When Shishi told me at first that you had another woman, I was really angry, but when I found out that it was Shishi who drugged you, and you were the ones... I had no right to be angry with you anymore."

"As for Shuishui, I was really reluctant at first, but then I figured it out. Even if Shuishui is with someone else, can it be guaranteed that that person will be devoted to her? Xiao Xu, you are indeed a little too carefree, but Auntie believes in you. Personality. And Shuishui is willing to be with you, so why should I be angry? As long as you treat them well, I'll be satisfied."

Xu Xiuwen didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Ruo's generosity really amazed him.

If the roles were reversed, he wouldn't be able to be as generous as Liu Ruo.

Xu Xiuwen said: "Don't worry, I will always be kind to Shishi and Shuishui."

Liu Ruo smiled when he heard this.

She had known Xu Xiuwen for a long time. After so many contacts, she got to know Xu Xiuwen better and better.

He looks cynical on the surface, but he is actually a mature, responsible and good man.

She believed that the situation of falling in love with Chi would not happen to her two daughters.

After complaining about Qin Xue to Liu Ruo, Xu Xiuwen felt much better.

And in the box on the other side.

After Qin Xue returned to the box, she returned to her seat with a natural expression and sat down.

Chen Jin, who was on the side, saw that only Qin Xue came back. He seemed to have guessed something and lowered his head and snickered.

He looked at the seat where Xu Xiuwen was sitting and thought to himself: So what if Cheng Lu likes you? Aunt Qin likes me. I am the son-in-law that Aunt Qin likes.

At this time, the waiters began to serve the food.

The dishes were soon served.

Cheng Xingbang suddenly looked at Cheng Lu and asked, "Where is Xiao Xu?"

After Cheng Lu saw Xu Xiuwen going out, she initially thought he had gone to the bathroom, but he never came back.

Cheng Lu wasn't sure where he went.

She was about to say, let me call and ask.

Qin Xue on the side suddenly said: "Xiao Xu suddenly has something to do, so he will go back first."

As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent instantly.

Cheng Xingbang believed Qin Xue's words and secretly thought it was a pity.

He also planned to have a few drinks with Xu Xiuwen.

Cheng's father frowned slightly, doubtful.

Being familiar with his wife's character, he felt that things might not be that simple.

Cheng Qiuyun also believed it.

She felt bad that Xu Xiuwen was so busy that he didn't even have time to eat well.

I was thinking about whether I should ask my daughter to deliver food to Xu Xiuwen later.

Of course, some people don't believe it.

For example, Cheng Lu and Bai Yue'er.

Bai Yue'er knew that Xu Xiuwen was going to get back together with Cheng Lu. Even if the sky fell, he couldn't just leave without eating.

Cheng Lu naturally thought so too.

She immediately took her mobile phone and walked out of the box.

As soon as she walked outside the door, she called Xu Xiuwen.

The call was answered quickly.

"Where are you?"

Xu Xiuwen on the other end of the phone was quiet for a second, and then said: "You guys are delicious, I have something to do, so I will leave first..."

Cheng Lu was stunned. Could it be that she was really overthinking?
  She said solemnly: "You can't just leave like this, my parents will be unhappy."

The last time Xu Xiuwen left directly, his parents were very unhappy.

This time Xu Xiuwen left suddenly without saying hello.

His parents must have felt more and more that he was ignorant.

"If you leave, don't come to see me again."

Xu Xiuwen said nothing.

Cheng Lu thought the phone was hung up, so she took it off and took a look. It was connected.

"Why don't you speak?"

Xu Xiuwen sighed and said: "Lulu, don't force me, I can't help it..."

Cheng Lu immediately guessed something from his tone.

She immediately asked: "Did my mother say something to you?"

Xu Xiuwen stopped talking again.

Cheng Lu already got the answer.

She said quickly: "Listen to me first and come back quickly. I will take care of other things."

"OK then."

Xu Xiuwen agreed.

Cheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

She was afraid that Xu Xiuwen would never come back like last time.

"How long do you want?"

Xu Xiuwen said: "Actually, I didn't leave. I'm still on the third floor."

Cheng Lu was stunned for a moment, then raised her head and looked around.

Soon, Xu Xiuwen appeared from the other side of the corridor.

She immediately put down her phone and walked quickly towards Xu Xiuwen.

"Did my mother let you go?"

Xu Xiuwen nodded.

Cheng Lu's face instantly turned cold.

Those who know her well will know that she is angry.

"Let's go back and eat first."

Cheng Lu took the initiative to hold Xu Xiuwen's arm and walked to the box.

Xu Xiuwen noticed that Cheng Lu was in a bad mood and reminded: "Don't be impulsive..."

Cheng Lu didn't expect that Xu Xiuwen could persuade her in turn.

She was moved, and at the same time she became increasingly dissatisfied with her mother's actions.

Come to the box door.

Cheng Lu pushed the door open and entered.

After the door opened, everyone in the box looked over.

When Qin Xue saw Xu Xiuwen coming back, her expression suddenly changed, and then returned to normal.

Chen Jin's face darkened.

Others had mixed reactions.

When Cheng Xingbang saw Xu Xiuwen coming back, he smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, you're back. If you have anything to do, come back later. Let's have a few drinks with me today."

"Okay, Director Cheng."

"What did you call me?" Cheng Xingbang had a straight face, pretending to be unhappy.

Xu Xiuwen immediately changed his words: "Uncle."

Only then did Cheng Xingbang smile.

After Cheng Lu entered the box, she looked at Qin Xue.

Qin Xue felt guilty and subconsciously lowered her head to avoid her daughter's gaze.

Father Cheng on the side said: "Let's eat when everyone is here."

After hearing her father's words, Cheng Lu withdrew her gaze and went back to sit down with Xu Xiuwen.

After the family banquet began, Xu Xiuwen inevitably had to toast to the elders.

It's Qin Xue's turn.

Qin Xue was very dissatisfied with his behavior of leaving and returning, and naturally she was unwilling to drink the wine he offered.

Xu Xiuwen was awkwardly holding a glass of wine.

Cheng Lu on the side saw this scene and became more and more dissatisfied with her mother's actions.

She also stood up with a wine glass in hand and said, "Mom, Xiuwen and I respect you together."

Qin Xue couldn't help but said: "What kind of toast are you two doing together?"

What she really wants to say is that you are not married and you are not a couple, so you should not toast together.

Cheng Lu saw her mother's expression in her eyes.

Originally, what she wanted was for Xu Xiuwen to behave well in front of her mother and try to get her mother to agree to their being together.

But now she feels that her mother has gone too far.

Xu Xiuwen was too aggrieved.

So she simply showed her cards.

Cheng Lu said directly: "Why not? Xiuwen and I have decided to get back together. I am his girlfriend, so of course we should toast together."

As soon as this was said, the dinner table became quiet again.

Everyone knew that Cheng Lu and Xu Xiuwen broke up.

Originally, Cheng Lu brought Xu Xiuwen to meet Cheng's father and Cheng's mother today, and others guessed what Cheng Lu was thinking.

But no one directly challenged it.

Now Cheng Lu took the initiative to admit it.

Qin Xue was extremely excited when she heard this.

She immediately shouted: "No, I don't agree."

In the past, Cheng Lu would have remained silent and stopped talking.

But Cheng Lu today is different from before.

She asked bravely: "Mom, why don't you agree with me being with Xiuwen?"

Why else?
  Qin Xue wants Cheng Lu and Chen Jin to be together.

She glanced at Chen Jin next to her, then glared at Cheng Lu and said, "Stop talking, sit down and eat quickly. I pretend I didn't hear what you just said."

If Cheng Lu listened to Qin Xue, then there would still be no hope for the two of them to get back together.

Cheng Lu suddenly turned to look at Father Cheng and said, "Dad, do you know why Xiuwen left just now?"

"Lulu!"

Qin Xue was anxious and shouted directly.

Cheng Lu turned to Qin Xue and asked, "Mom, can't we talk about this?"

Qin Xue was very disappointed.

Cheng Lu was so obedient before.

Now that I know Xu Xiuwen, he is becoming more and more disobedient.

Now he dares to make her stand down in front of so many people.

She didn't blame her daughter, but Xu Xiuwen.

It's all his fault for bringing up his daughter.

The idea of ​​not letting her daughter be with Xu Xiuwen became more and more determined.

Qin Xue frowned and looked at Cheng Lu and asked, "Don't you listen to me?"

Cheng Lu shook her head.

Just as Qin Xue was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard Cheng Lu say again: "Of course I listen to my mother, but this matter is not something hidden. Can't I let my father know?"

Qin Xue's face suddenly stiffened.

Seeing this, Cheng Lu suddenly said: "Forget it if you don't let me. You can't stop drinking Xiu Wen Jing's wine, right?"

Qin Xue suddenly couldn't get off the tiger.

Did she have to drink Xu Xiuwen's toast?

Doesn't that mean that she agreed to her daughter being with him?
  No.

Just because she drank didn't mean she agreed.

Qin Xue decided to accept Xu Xiuwen's toast and calm her daughter down for the time being.

After drinking, Qin Xue snorted unhappily.

Things seemed to be over for the time being.

At this time, Cheng's father, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "Xiao Xu, why did you leave before? Is there really something wrong with the company?"

Qin Xue's heart that had just been put down was raised again.

She immediately cast a look at Xu Xiuwen.

It's like a reminder, more like a warning.

Xu Xiuwen felt funny in his heart.

Originally, he still respected Cheng Lu's mother.

But Qin Xue's attitude disappointed him deeply.

But on the surface, Xu Xiuwen didn't show it.
