Chu Zhongtang appeared at the gate of the manor at almost lunchtime.

He was greeted by a team of up to 100 people.

Banners, flowers, beauties, and extravagant welcome ceremonies. Chu Zhongtang's expression was a little weird.

He automatically ignored the pompous welcome ceremony. Take a sightseeing bus ride to the main building of the manor.

His sister-in-law. A sumptuous lunch has been prepared for him.

The most beautiful waiter. The most elegant housekeeper. and the most extravagant dining tools.

When he saw the sumptuous lunch of as many as 100 dishes, the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching.

He recognized it.

This is a full meal.

And it's not just a restoration of the real Manchu and Han seats. Even made full of additions with icing on the cake.

The cost of this meal alone is sky-high.

And this is too extravagant and too wasteful for Chu Zhongtang, who has always been very frugal in terms of diet.

"Just the two of us. There is no need for this. Chu Zhongtang slowly sat down, shook his head slightly and said.

"You're thinking too much. Xiao said lightly. "I'm not here for you. It's that I want to eat it myself. Even if you don't come. I would eat the same thing. ”

"Strictly speaking. You're just stained with my light and rubbed a good meal. Xiao Ru said very arrogantly.

"Even if it's you. It shouldn't be so extravagant either. Chu Zhongtang shook his head.

"Don't bring your set of the Chu family to my manor. I'm not your son. It's not your nephew—" Xiao said, and suddenly changed his words. "Oh yes. My son is not your nephew. ”

Chu Zhongtang's eyes were calm and he didn't make any rebuttals.

"Regardless, thank you for this hearty lunch. I'll try my best to eat. Chu Zhongtang said and began to eat.

He was on a long journey, and he was indeed hungry.

But with hundreds of dishes, Chu Zhongtang still can't eat them. Especially Xiao Ru just tasted a few bites casually and put down the dishes and chopsticks.

Compare these delicacies. She seems to be more interested in the wine in the goblet.

She sat comfortably in her chair. The expression is indescribably leisurely.

Sunlight diffuses into the dining room. This palace-like extravagant restaurant is particularly bright. and luxury.

Chu Zhongtang ate methodically.

Even if he has done his best. But he still only ate less than a tenth.

And even so, his stomach was already bulging.

"You will teach bad Chu Yun. Chu Zhongtang, who put down the dishes and chopsticks, frowned and said. "He's a thrifty kid. He is also a sensible child. ”

"I don't really understand. Xiao Ru sat up slightly, and glanced at Chu Zhongtang with contempt in his eyes. "Why should my son be a thrifty man? Does he have no money to spend? Or are you too deductive? Or the wealth I have accumulated over the years. Not enough for him to spend a lot of money every day?"

"Why. My son has to learn to be diligent and thrifty, is this what you mean, or did the old man mean when he was alive?" Xiao asked.

"Chu Yun has not been a big-spending child since he was a child. He also knows that wasting food is a bad habit. Chu Zhongtang said.

"When a child is born, it's just a blank sheet of paper. If you weren't so educated, he would know what is good and what is not?" Xiao asked rhetorically.

"I'm not interested in talking to you about how to raise a good child. Chu Zhongtang said lightly. "I have experience, and it's been a successful experience. But you don't. You don't even have what it takes to be a good mother. So don't talk to me about how to educate the next generation. ”

"Are you disgusting me?" Xiao Ru narrowed her eyes slightly.

"If my words and actions make you feel sick. Chu Zhongtang said, and the conversation changed. "Yes. I'm disgusting you. ”

"You're rampant. Xiao said.

"It's ok. Chu Zhongtang nodded lightly.

"Then you come to my house this time. Are you not going to ask me to do something? You're so unkind to me. Aren't you afraid that I'll reject you?" Xiao asked.

"I'm coming to your house. Just visiting, not going to ask you to do anything. Chu Zhongtang said lightly. "I Chu Zhongtang, and I never ask for help. ”

"Little monsters. Xiao Ru pouted. "There is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. ”

Chu Zhongtang wanted to light a cigarette.

But recalling a past event. He gave up again.

I drank all the red wine in my glass. Chu Zhongtang said: "I heard that you stayed in the ancient castle for a meal?"

"Is there any problem?" Xiao asked rhetorically. "Could it be that you want to settle accounts with me?"

"What you do has nothing to do with me. Chu Zhongtang said lightly. "But I don't want Chu Yun to misunderstand you. You'd better not take her respect for you and take it seriously. ”

"It's my business. Nor does it have anything to do with you. Xiao Ru immediately shot back. Not to mention that.

Hearing this, Chu Zhongtang nodded lightly. Say no more.

"Aren't you going to comment on my manor? Have you ever seen such a magnificent manor? Have you experienced the happiness and joy of living here?" Xiao Ru asked very calmly.

"I haven't seen it. Not interested either. Chu Zhongtang said. "I don't want to experience it either. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ru narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Experience it." It's sure to make you feel special. ”

"Why?" Chu Zhongtang asked.

"Because of my son, I should have grown up here. Xiao Ru said word by word. "Because I shouldn't have been absent from my son's childhood. ”

"Because – everything here, I'm for my son. But he didn't experience it for a day. ”

Xiao Ru suddenly pushed down the wine glass and stood up expressionlessly: "If I want you to live, you have to live." I won't let you go. You can't go. ”

Let's talk about it.

Xiao Ru left.

Leaving Chu Zhongtang with a calm face.

I was stunned for a long time.

Chu Zhongtang beckoned to a beautiful waitress: "Help me pour me a glass of wine." ”

Then he lit a cigarette and fell into deep thought.

He smelled the anger in Xiao Rushi's body, as well as the looming resentment.

It was the old man who broke up their mother and son.

It was also the old man who made Xiao Ru absent from Chu Yun's childhood and youth.

Chu Yun's life should have been more perfect, and there were no regrets and flaws.

But because of the old man's domineering.

Xiao Ru left the scene gloomily and left the country.

All the pain and loneliness, she tasted alone.

She doesn't say it, she doesn't mind if she doesn't do it.

She respects Chu Yan.

Respect Chu Yan's family.

She swallowed all the grievances and bitterness.

Alone, adrift overseas.

She knew that the Chu family lived happily together, but she could only be a shadow. A shadow that never shows up.

That year, that month, that day.

The old man once warned Xiao Ru in an unusually crazy way: "I won't die for a day! Don't you want to see your son for a day!"

Exactly this sentence.

Let Xiao Ru wait until today.

She finally survived the old man.

finally stood in front of Chu Yun.
