Liu Guoqiang and Xu Ruoqing were sitting not far from the courtyard, and the crisp cracking sound of the purple clay pot when it hit the ground came, which frightened the two of them to stand up subconsciously, glanced at each other, and hurriedly walked towards the small courtyard.

Both of them felt a little inexplicable, it is said that Liu Xinyao and Fang Yang should be on the cusp of the storm! In Liu Guoqiang's view, Old Man Xu came to Rongcheng, on the one hand, it may be to join in the fun, and part of the reason is that Liu Xinyao, the granddaughter.

They didn't expect that Old Man Xu would have anything to do when he saw Xu Qingya.

While walking towards the courtyard gate, the two also muttered in their hearts: What happened to Qingya, this girl? actually made the old man so angry, and he actually started throwing things!

"Dad! Are you alright? Xu Ruoqing gently buckled the door knocker and asked in a loud voice.

"It's okay, it's okay! What can I do? Old Man Xu shouted in the courtyard, "Huh? Why haven't you two left yet? What are you doing outside? ”

Liu Guoqiang couldn't help but show a wry smile - he, the old man, has always been so ruthless in his speech.

However, a woman's heart will eventually be finer, but Xu Ruoqing heard the joy in Old Man Xu's tone that could not be concealed, and Xu Ruoqing couldn't help but wonder - what good thing has happened to the old man, and he is so happy? He even missed a teapot, which must be a great thing!

Liu Guoqiang listened to Old Man Xu's words and hurriedly said:

"Oh, let's go...... That's it......"

Unexpectedly, Old Man Xu said loudly again:

"Wait a minute! Since you're not leaving, let's just wait a little longer! I still have something to tell you! ”

"Yes!" Liu Guoqiang replied.

Then Liu Guoqiang and his wife glanced at each other with a wry smile, and walked back to sit down.

Fortunately, Old Man Xu didn't let them wait longer, and after about five or six minutes, the courtyard door opened, Xu Qingya poked her head out with a slightly red face, and after seeing Xu Ruoqing and Liu Guoqiang, she said:

"Auntie, uncle, there are also ...... let you in"

Liu Guoqiang and Xu Ruoqing hurriedly stood up, walked over quickly, and asked softly at the door:

"Qingya, what's wrong with the old man today? Something seems wrong! ”

Xu Qingya was a little shy, and also a little flustered to avoid Xu Ruoqing's gaze, bowed her head and said:

"I don't know...... Aunt, don't you know when you go in? ”

Xu Ruoqing glanced at Xu Qingya with some suspicion, but they didn't dare to let the old man wait for a long time, so they shook their heads suspiciously, and walked into the courtyard with Liu Guoqiang.

And Xu Qingya didn't follow up, but stood at the door and looked at the lake not far away in a daze.

Until now, Xu Qingya has not eased up, and she didn't know who gave her courage just now, so she blurted it out directly.

Maybe it was reading the posts on the Red Rock forum that made her feel a little stimulated; may be realizing that Fang Yang has a lot of confidants, which gives her a sense of crisis and urgency; Or maybe she was a little angry that after Fang Yang's last confession, because she didn't explicitly agree, she retracted all of a sudden, and then didn't take further action for a long time, so she deliberately came out at this time to "make trouble" for Fang Yang......

Anyway, a girl's mind is quite complicated, and ordinary people can't guess it at all.

Even Xu Qingya herself didn't understand why she had so much courage just now, and actually directly said that she and Fang Yang had established a romantic relationship.

Thinking of this matter, even if she was no longer in front of Old Man Xu, Xu Qingya was still red-faced.

……

In the courtyard, Liu Guoqiang and Xu Ruoqing walked through the patio and walked to the hall in the middle, and saw the old man Xu sitting there with a happy face, and even lit a special cigarette for the first time - the old man was a smoking gun in his early years, but later under the strong request of the health care doctor, he had quit smoking.

How excited it must be for a smoker who has been quitting for five or six years to relight a cigarette!

"Dad! Why did you still smoke it? Xu Ruoqing was a little worried, and she stepped forward a little reproachfully and said.

Old Man Xu smiled nonchalantly and said:

"It's okay to smoke one once in a while, and you won't be addicted anymore......"

Xu Ruoqing wanted to say something, but Liu Guoqiang gently pulled the hem of her clothes, and at the same time glanced at her, making her hold back the words behind.

Old man Xu is strange everywhere, from Xu Qingya to the old man, the appearance of the two is not the usual state. This already made Liu Guoqiang full of doubts, so after he stopped Xu Ruoqing, he immediately asked:

"Dad, what's the matter with you leaving us behind?"

Old Man Xu said with a smile:

"Oh, it's not a big deal. It is...... I thought about it, let's eat together with the three of us old guys tonight! The two of you will go and help Zhang Luo about this meal, and by the way, you will also inform Lao Fang and Lao Liu! ”

The old men were all anxious before, and they were not interested in the reception banquet prepared by Fang Hongda at all, so they refused directly, saying that they could just have some dinner in their respective courtyards - at that time, their minds were not on eating at all.

Now why did Old Man Xu Nannan suddenly propose to eat with the other two old men?

There are more and more doubts in Liu Guoqiang's heart.

Seeing that Liu Guoqiang didn't speak, Old Man Xu frowned slightly and asked:

"What's wrong? Difficult? ”

Liu Guoqiang came back to his senses and hurriedly said:

"Oh, no, no! Dad, don't worry, I will definitely arrange it! Do you have any specific instructions for the dinner? ”

Old Man Xu waved his hand and said:

"Look at the arrangement! The location is in this Jiangnan courtyard, I think the environment here is good, I like it! ”

"Yes! We'll do it right away! Liu Guoqiang said uprightly.

Old Man Xu nodded, and then said:

"Let's join the dinner party as a family of three! And Hongda, you can also invite, if Qu Jing and Fang Qiao are free, let's come together! The elegant girl also let her participate! ”

"Okay!" Liu Guoqiang said.

Xu Ruoqing couldn't help but ask very curiously:

"Dad, what's wrong today? What's the good thing? ”

Old Man Xu glanced at Xu Ruoqing and Liu Guoqiang meaningfully, and said with a smile:

"Good things are sometimes relative, maybe it's good for me, but it's bad news for you? So...... Don't say it, you'll know when the time comes. ”

Although Xu Ruoqing is his biological daughter, she has married into the Liu family after all, strictly speaking, she is a member of the Liu family. And Liu Xinyao is still her daughter, so Old Man Xu will say this.

Xu Ruoqing paused for a moment, and then smiled bitterly:

"Dad...... Why are you still playing dumb riddles with your daughter? ”

Old Man Xu waved his hand with a smile and said:

"You girl, don't try to get out of me. Go, go, go! Let's go and get ready for dinner first! ”

Seeing that the old man had given an eviction order, Xu Ruoqing could only glance at Liu Guoqiang helplessly, and then the husband and wife respectfully said goodbye to the old man and left this elegant and quiet small courtyard.

……

When night falls, the lights come on.

On the side of the main building facing the artificial lake in the Jiangnan Courtyard Clubhouse, it is the best box in the entire clubhouse. The whole huge glass curtain wall allows the guests to dine here to have an unobstructed view of the lake, and at the same time, the decoration of the entire box is also quite luxurious, and the overall bright yellow style makes the food here quite a palace banquet.

The Jiangnan courtyard has not been open for the past few days, and the original guests have also been very politely cleared.

Today, we welcome three of our most distinguished guests.

They are the proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation, the founding generals of the republic, Fang Qianjian, Xu Nannan and Liu Shan.

The other people who came to the banquet were also terrifyingly big.

Fang Hongda, the secretary of the provincial party committee of Southeast Province, and his family, including Fang Xu, who was most afraid of eating at the same table with his elders, did not run away.

There is also the family of Captain Liu Guoqiang of Group A Army, plus Xu Qingya is also the eldest granddaughter of the Xu family, one of the seven major political families in China, the guests at this table can be described as either rich or expensive, and they are definitely characters who have to tremble when they stomp on the ground.

The three old men were all red and looked in a good mood.

Before retiring, Old Man Fang's level was the highest, so he sat in the middle, Old Man Liu and Old Man Xu sat on both sides, Liu Guoqiang's family's seat was next to Old Man Liu, and Fang Hongda did it by Old Man Xu's side, and next to him were his wife Qu Jing, daughter Fang Qiao and son Fang Xu.

After everyone was seated, the waiter began to pour wine for everyone, and the dishes that had been prepared were also served up like water.

Old man Liu said with a smile:

"Lao Xu, it stands to reason that today's meal should be arranged by me, but when you got off the car, you all said that you didn't want to make it so complicated, so you just had to eat at your own residence, so I didn't go to Zhang Luo This matter, who ever thought that you, the old boy, wanted to come out of it and eat it again!"

Old Man Xu rolled his eyelids and said:

"Lao Liu, who said that this meal should be arranged by you?"

Old Man Liu paused for a moment and said with a smile:

"Isn't this clear? This time my baby granddaughter has made a great contribution, and she is now Fang Yang's girlfriend! This is undoubtedly a great joy for our Liu family, do you think it's time for me to treat? ”

Old Man Fang, who was sitting in the middle, leisurely turned the glass wine glass, and Shi Shiran said:

"Lao Liu, you're saying this a little early, aren't you?"

Old Man Xu also immediately chimed in:

"Lao Fang is right! I'm not married yet! You're like this? I've never seen the world! ”

Old Man Liu didn't do anything when he heard it, he rolled his eyes and said:

I said...... What does this mean? Are you two old boys jealous that our family Xin Yao and Fang Yang are together, so you join forces to find my stubble, right? ”

Old Man Xu and Old Man Fang sneered in unison.

Then Old Man Fang took the lead and said:

"Lao Liu, you just don't grasp the situation at first glance! Do you think your Xinyao is nine out of ten? Sue you, you're so naïve! Our family Qiaoqiao and Fang Yang have been lovers for a long time! You think that post is all casual nonsense? How naïve! ”

Old Man Fang used two "too naïve" in a row, and after finishing speaking, he also felt a burst of comfort.

It's like the feeling of a person who has been holding back for a long time and finally finding the toilet.

After all, for him, he only relied on intuition at the beginning, thinking that this matter was not so simple, so he resolutely decided to fly to Banyan City immediately. Unexpectedly, his intuition was accurate to this kind of Cheng dù, and the matter about Fang Qiao was definitely a big surprise for the old man on the other side.

Originally, everyone said that they would eat their own at night, but Old Man Fang's heart was full of joy but there was no place to show his mood, which was quite low. But I didn't expect that Old Man Xu suddenly mentioned that they would still get together at night, which was tantamount to the old man in the middle of the day, and he agreed without thinking about it.

And looking at Old Man Liu's sassy appearance, Old Man Fang couldn't help but want to hit him well.

Now it seems that the blow worked quite well.

Not only was Old Man Liu taken aback, but now the entire box fell into a dead silence, and everyone seemed to be petrified, motionless, with a look of great surprise on their faces.

Including the happy old man Xu, who was also shocked by this news.

He knew that Liu Xinyao had "fallen", but he didn't expect that the post was really not empty and white-toothed, it was full of dry goods! Needless to say, Liu Xinyao's part, I didn't expect that even Fang Qiao's part was all true.

is also quite shocked, naturally there are Fang Hongda and his wife and Fang Xu.

Fang Hongda and the two only "interrogated" Fang Qiao in the morning, and at that time, Fang Qiao still insisted that the post was spreading rumors, saying that she and Fang Yang had nothing to do with each other. How did it take less than ten hours for this to change completely?

Did Qiao Qiao really have something with Fang Yang, or did the old man deliberately say this because he wanted to save face? Fang Hongda's brain was also spinning rapidly.

He and Qu Jing's eyes naturally fell on Fang Qiao for the first time. Fang Qiaoqiao's face was slightly red, avoiding her parents' gaze, and then she nodded very slightly.

Everyone at the dinner party noticed the action.

Almost at the same time, everyone made the sound of inhaling cool air.

Fang Hongda and Qu Jing looked at Fang Qiao, who bowed their heads slightly, and Liu Xinyao, who was sitting opposite Fang Qiao, with a look of incomprehension in their eyes.

Old Man Xu was the same, after listening to Old Man Fang's words, and seeing that these words were acquiesced by the person concerned, Fang Qiao himself, the shock in his heart was no less than that of others - Xu Qingya just told him about himself and Fang Yang, and did not report and explain to Old Man Xu about the embarrassing question of how many girlfriends Fang Yang had.

Just when everyone was still in a trance, trying to digest the heavy news released by Old Man Fang, a cowardly voice suddenly sounded:

"Damn, no! Isn't that kid Fang Yang my brother-in-law? ”R1148
