Chapter 8: You are such a filial child
Everyone took their seats at the round table in the dining room.
The table is filled with sumptuous dishes with tantalizing aromas.
This made Lin Fei feel hungry, after all, the Western food he ate at the Wujia Town Hotel at noon was too small, and his stomach would be empty in the afternoon.
But no one on the table put down the chopsticks, and he couldn't open this head.
Li Shang and his wife originally wanted their daughter Li Ruyan and Zhao Wenxuan to have more emotional exchanges tonight, so they invited him to Li's house for dinner.
As a result, there was no emotional exchange, and Li Ruyan brought back a new boyfriend Lin Fei to the two.
The couple also had no appetite.
The reason why the couple wanted to match Li Ruyan and Zhao Wenxuan together was that in addition to Zhao Wenxuan's young and handsome, the couple valued the Zhao family behind him more.
The Zhao family is a family of famous doctors in Huadu, and there are many famous doctors in one family, and the hospital opened by the Zhao family has monopolized half of the market in Huadu, which is a public hospital, and there are also many outpatient clinics contracted by the Zhao family.
Therefore, in the past few years, the wealth of the Zhao family has risen, although it is not yet one of the top ten wealthy families, but it is also a matter of time before it becomes one of the top ten wealthy families.
The Li family is mainly a pharmaceutical company, and it is very dependent on the Zhao family, which occupies more than half of the medical market, and the global economy is not ideal this year and the fierce competition among peer companies, the Li family's pharmaceutical company is also facing unprecedented pressure.
At this time, if the Li family pharmaceutical company wants to survive the crisis, it can only put its hope on the Zhao family.
It was originally a purposefully arranged dinner, but in the end, it was disturbed by Lin Fei's appearance, and both husband and wife felt a little resentful in their hearts.
Not to mention Zhao Wenxuan, he originally thought that the Li family had a business with the Zhao family, and Li Ruyan would also give him a hug, but he didn't expect her to have a new boyfriend.
It was a shame for him.
However, he has been infatuated with Li Ruyan for many years, how could he give up so easily?
"By the way, grandpa, why didn't grandma come out to eat?" Li Ruyan opened her mouth to break the silence and asked grandpa.
Old Man Li's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, sighed, and said: "The day after you left Huadu, your grandmother went for a walk in the garden, and a big black cat suddenly sprang out of the flowers, which frightened your grandmother and fell to the ground, sprained her waist, and now she can only lie on the bed to recuperate." ”
"What, grandma fell and hurt?" Li Ruyan's face suddenly showed anxiety: "I'm going to see grandma." ”
The old man hurriedly said: "Ruyan, don't worry, I have already let the doctor see it, and the doctor said that your grandmother was frightened first, sprained her waist, and the third is older, and it will take some time to recover." It's not too late for you to eat and see your grandma. ”
However, Li Ruyan heard that her grandmother was injured and where she still had an appetite, so she said to Lin Fei: "Lin Fei, I'll go see grandma first." ”
Lin Fei said: "Ruyan, I'll accompany you." ”
But Li Ruyan shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just go by myself." ”
"Lin Gongzi, let Ruyan go alone, she is close to her grandmother, they can talk. Ruyan's mother said immediately.
She really didn't want Lin Fei and Li Ruyan to go in and out of the pair, lest Zhao Wenxuan be very embarrassed, and the Li family medicine still wanted to enter the Zhao family's hospital.
Lin Fei had no choice but to stay, and said to Li Ruyan: "Then I'll go over later." ”
Li Ruyan nodded, she knew that Lin Fei had medical skills and might be able to treat her grandmother.
After Li Ruyan left, Old Man Li, Li Shang and his wife, and even Zhao Wenxuan all focused their eyes on Lin Fei.
"Mr. Lin, thank you for helping the little girl in Kunlun Mountain and saving her. Li Shang opened his mouth and said to Lin Fei.
Lin Fei said indifferently: "Uncle Li is polite, this is just a gesture." ”
Mrs. Li also asked Lin Fei, "By the way, Mr. Lin, you haven't asked where you are from?"
"Aunt Hui, my family lives in Kunlun Mountain. Lin Fei replied.
Mrs. Li then asked, "Then I don't know what Mr. Lin does?"
Lin Fei said: "I don't have a job yet. ”
When Mrs. Li heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Li Shang, and a hint of joy appeared in both of their eyes.
And Zhao Wenxuan, who was at the same table, also flashed a trace of imperceptible sarcasm in his eyes: it turned out to be a poor boy in the mountains, and he also wanted to soak in the eldest lady of the Li family, and he was really a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.
"Okay, okay, everyone don't talk patronizing, eat quickly, the dishes are cold. At this time, Old Man Li, who was sitting at the top, beckoned everyone to eat.
In fact, when he heard that Lin Fei's family lived in Kunlun Mountain, he couldn't help but think of the old friend who hadn't seen him for many years, and couldn't bear Lin Fei being troubled by his son and daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly spoke out to relieve Lin Fei.
Old Man Li took a chicken leg from a plate and put it in Lin Fei's rice bowl, and said, "Lin Fei, you saved Ruyan, you are our great benefactor of the Li family, come, eat a chicken leg." ”
Seeing the tender and fragrant golden chicken thighs that the old man put in his rice bowl, Lin Fei's saliva was about to flow out, his stomach was indeed hungry, and he hurriedly said to the old man: "Thank you, grandpa." ”
After speaking, Lin Fei picked up the rice bowl, nibbled on the chicken legs, and gobbled it up, which made the old man, Li Shang and his wife a little dumbfounded.
How long has this kid not eaten?
Li Shanghe and his wife finally came back to their senses, and then said to Zhao Wenxuan: "Wenxuan, eat some food." ”
"Yes, aunt and uncle, you eat too. After Zhao Wenxuan finished speaking, he also sandwiched a chicken leg for Li Shang and his wife.
The faces of Li Shang and his wife suddenly showed joy, and Mrs. Li said with a smile: "Wenxuan, you are really a knowledgeable child, unlike some people who only care about eating by themselves. ”
When she said this, Mrs. Li deliberately glanced at Lin Fei, who was gobbling up, and it was clearly Lin Fei.
Lin Fei, who had just finished nibbling on a chicken leg, suddenly heard this sentence, and looked at Mrs. Li's eyes again, where would he not know that she was insinuating?
Although Lin Fei does not regard himself as Li Ruyan's life-saving benefactor, Mrs. Li looks down on him in order to please Zhao Wenxuan, which makes it difficult for him to have a good impression of her.
However, for the sake of Mrs. Li being Li Ruyan's mother, Lin Fei didn't bother with her.
At this time, Lin Fei found that although Zhao Wenxuan sandwiched chicken legs for Li Shang and his wife, he did not sandwich vegetables for Mr. Li.
So, Lin Fei took a piece of shark fin with chopsticks, put it in Old Man Li's rice bowl, and said with a simple smile: "Grandpa, you also eat vegetables." ”
The old man couldn't help but be stunned, and then laughed happily: "Lin Fei, you are really a filial child, it is really rare to know that you respect the elderly." ”
After that, Old Man Li smiled and said to Li Shang and his wife: "Son, daughter-in-law, do you say?"
Li Shang and his wife looked embarrassed, and their smiles couldn't be reluctant: "Yes, yes, yes......"
Zhao Wenxuan was even more embarrassed, he served vegetables for Li Shang and his wife, but he neglected to pick up vegetables for the highest-ranking old man Li, but was picked up cheaply by Lin Fei.
