The Qiao family's mansion is still the same as before, combining nobility and romance, revealing a solemn atmosphere of the emperor's family. Thinking of what Lucy looked like before he came, Qiao Yixia couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"Yellow wouldn't be too bright, but black doesn't seem auspicious."

Such a psychologist who is accustomed to self-centeredness will also be nervous. She laughed at her like this, and even Lan Xuewu laughed along. But she knew in her heart that Lu Xifei would care about her family so much because she loved her. Because I want to be with her so much, I see a meal as an assessment.

The housekeepers and servants of the Qiao family were all professionally trained, and the old housekeeper looked simple, especially like the senior housekeeper in the English earl's house.

"Sister Lu, you don't have to be nervous, my aunt and uncle just look strict, but they are actually very good." Lan Xuewu wore a formal suit, quite a bit of a strong woman's taste, the eldest lady of a rich family like them is different from ordinary girls, even for dinner, she can't dress very casually.

"Not really." Lucy said lightly.

Qiao Yixia patted her shoulder and took her hand. As everyone knows, the door in front of me is clearly a wall.

The marble floor was illuminated by the intricate crystal lights, and he took a few steps forward and stepped on the soft wool carpet, just in time to meet the eyes of the young man on the sofa.

For a moment, whether it was Lan Xuewu or Qiao Yixia Luxi, they all froze in place as if they had swallowed flies, and they were speechless for a few seconds.

"Hello uncle and aunt." In the end, the deadlock was broken by Lu Xifei, who carried the delicate gifts she had prepared, a set of tea sets, and a landscape painting that had been bid for at the auction before, "A little gift, and I hope the two elders like it." ”

"Thank you, Xiyu."

The man on the sofa has sword eyebrows and starry eyes, his figure is slender and straight, after standing up, he is half a head taller than Lucie, his facial features are heroic and handsome, these two temperaments are difficult to coexist, but they complement each other without any sense of disobedience on his body. He stretched out his hand to Lu Xifei, with a dimple on the side of his mouth: "Professor Lu, I have admired the name for a long time." My name is Shen Heng. ”

Lu Xi raised a polite smile and held his hand: "Hello, Young Master Shen." ”

Lan Xuewu stood beside Qiao Yixia, seeing her face turn iron-blue, she was worried in her heart, she always felt that something was going to happen, and the facts proved that her premonition was not wrong.

I saw Qiao Yixia lying between Shen Heng and Lu Xifei, looked at Lu Xifei and said, "Xifei, I'm not feeling well, let's go home." ”

"Yi Xia."

This Yixia came from two people at the same time, one was Qiao Yihai and the other was Lu Xifei. Qiao Yixia didn't look at Qiao Yihai, just frowned and looked at Lu Xifei.

"Yi Xia, no matter what, finish this meal, don't have any feelings."

"West Bloom...... Isn't my dad's meaning clear enough? After that, she looked at Qiao Yihai, "Dad, why didn't you sue me, there are still others present at dinner today." ”

Qiao Yihai's face was displeased: "Yi Xia, can you be so rude when talking to your elders?" ”

"Yi Xia." Luci said in a low voice, "If you don't want me to be angry, finish this meal with peace of mind and don't contradict your father again." ”

"Xizhu, why?"

Just because your father thinks of you more than his own son.

However, Lu Xifei couldn't say this. All she could do was to follow Qiao Yixia's parents' wishes and patiently finish the meal. Rao is a proud person, and there are times when he is wronged. She thought about many scenes, for example, Qiao's father and Qiao's mother would ask her some questions, asking her if she had thought about how the two women should live in the future, and she would tell them their own plans for the future, so that they could rest assured that Qiao Yixia would be handed over to her. Maybe they still don't agree, but it doesn't matter, she has a lot of patience, as long as she is sincere, there is nothing that cannot be done. For this meal, she put on makeup for several hours just for her makeup, which was not solemn enough, thick and too demonic. She has always been very conceited in appearance, and for the first time, she felt that she was not beautiful enough.

But she didn't expect this to be the case.

Several people sat around the long white dining table, and the servants served exquisite dishes one after another, and the chandelier above their heads was blazing, which not only reminded Lan Xuewu of a beautiful painting called "The Last Supper". The arrangement of positions is even more awkward, Qiao Yixia sits on one side with her and Qiao's mother, Lu Xifei sits on one side with Shen Heng, and Qiao Yihai sits on the main seat.

"That, today's dish, it's delicious......" Lan Xuewu was furious by this cramped atmosphere, and when she looked at it, everyone had no expression on their faces, as if they were not eating vegetables, but □□. She really couldn't stand it, so she could only take the lead in breaking the embarrassment.

Sure enough, her words not only did not save the scene, but made the atmosphere even more embarrassing.

In the end, it was Shen Heng who took her words: "Yes, the food at my uncle's house is really delicious." ”

"If it's delicious, I often come, our chef will cook a lot of dishes, Xiao Heng likes it, and he will come every day in the future." Mother Qiao said lovingly, and then looked at Lu Xifei, "What about Xifei?" This dish is still to your liking, right? ”

Lucy nodded: "It's delicious, thank you Auntie." ”

"If you like it, if you like it, if you like it."

Qiao Yihai put down his chopsticks, his eyes were dark, like a noble monarch who was proud of the world: "Yes, after all, Xi Fei and Yi Xia are such good friends, and they take good care of us Xi Fei on weekdays, and we should all thank you well." ”

"Dad......" Qiao Yixia finally couldn't hold back her feelings and wanted to refute.

"Uncle said so, and he was out of sight." Luci interrupted her, glanced at her, and motioned for her to stop talking, "Besides, Yi Xia takes no less care of me than I do for her. ”

Qiao Yihai pursed his lips and smiled, but did not say anything more.

Lan Xuewu took a sip of orange juice and felt a tightness in her chest. It was the first time she wished she could finish dinner quickly. She felt that she was very stupid and stupid, thinking that her uncle had finally begun to accept the feelings of Qiao Yixia and Lu Xifei, and ran to tell them this "good news" with great interest and self-righteousness. She felt stupid.

"Well, uncle, although your food is really delicious, but I really eat too much at noon, if I say I'm full now, you shouldn't be angry, right?" Shen Heng had a small tiger tooth when he smiled, especially a pair of phoenix eyes squinting and smiling, which was indeed very charming.

"How so." Qiao Yihai also smiled lovingly, looking at Shen Heng's eyes like looking at his own son, "Yi Xia, I see that you haven't moved your chopsticks much, are you like Xiao Heng, you eat too much at noon?" If you really can't eat it, you will accompany Xiao Heng to the garden. ”

"I have a good appetite." Qiao Yixia didn't look at Qiao Yihai, and ate the ribs on the plate.

"Uncle, don't think I'm lazy, I haven't been moving since I was a child, and I'm still used to lying on the sofa after eating and not ......getting up after a walk," Shen Heng said.

Seeing that Shen Heng was sensible and relieved, Qiao Yihai's face was a little better: "Okay then." ”

"Yixia, you are so rude!" After Shen Heng left, Qiao Yihai angrily threw his chopsticks on the table.

"Dad, all I can do is finish this meal. That's all. ”

Luci looked at this qiē, but did not speak. Parents educate their children, and no one has a position to intervene, not to mention, she is still an outsider who is not recognized by Qiao's father.

"Alright, alright." Qiao's mother felt sorry for her daughter, and couldn't help but come out to be a peacemaker, "It's rare for a daughter to come back for dinner, so you can say a few words." ”

Qiao Yixia couldn't even remember when this terrible dinner ended, she only remembered that Lu Xihua had a faint smile on her face from beginning to end, and all the good cultivation that everyone should have was vividly reflected in her body. But what she didn't know was that Lu Xifei didn't care about the so-called self-cultivation, all she wanted to do was not to embarrass Qiao Yixia, that's all.

After the meal, Qiao Yihai deliberately separated Qiao Yixia, Qiao Yixia naturally couldn't listen to him, and left Lu Xifei alone to face the strong and domineering Qiao Yihai. She won't leave her, even if Qiao Yihai really doesn't recognize her as a daughter, she can't let Lu Xifei suffer the slightest grievance.

"Yi Xia, it's about to be spring, you go to the room to clean up, get some warm clothes, and we'll take them home." Lucy looked at her and said word by word, she noticed the reluctance in Qiao Yixia's eyes, but still said in a firm tone, "Go ahead." ”

Seeing that the two sides were deadlocked, Lan Xuewu really had no choice but to pull Qiao Yixia upstairs. If it continues like this, I'm afraid that the atmosphere will really get worse and worse.

"Xifei, the Qiao family is sorry for you."

Qiao Yihai stared at Lu Xifei, his eyes were slowly filled with moisture, the wrinkles on his face were very deep, and there were white hairs on the top of his head.

"Uncle, there is nothing sorry for me in the Qiao family."

Qiao Yihai sighed and looked at Shen Heng: "Xiao Heng, he knows about your affairs, but even so, he still belongs to Yi Xia and has never wavered." Xifei, please, understand the heart of a father, Qiao's, you can't have no successor ......"

Lu Xifei chuckled, this villa is so big, for a while, there is no place for her eyes to stood. She looked down at the corner of her skirt and was silent. Yes, she can give Qiao Yixia a qiē, but she can't give her a child. Qiao Yihui has already gone, does she want to selfishly take her daughter away from him. Qiao Yihai has worked hard all his life, and in the end, is he really going to end up with no personal wealth?

Shen Heng wanted to say something, but in the end he just shook his head.

"Uncle, I only said that I would not take the initiative to leave Yi Xia, but this does not mean that Yi Xia has the responsibility and obligation to stay by my side."

"Yes...... I know, and I admit it, that your feelings for Yi Xia are really unbearable, and even I was ...... for a while However, I can't watch Qiao's family just break off in Yi Xia's hands. Xifei, if you can really understand the heart of a father, I beg you to persuade her. All right? ”

"Uncle." Lucy looked at him, and the two of them finally looked at each other, "She can go, it doesn't mean that I am willing to drive her away." I understand your love for her as Yixia's father, but I also hope that you can understand my love for her as Yixia's lover. ”
