Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Family Feast
Su Yifan knew that he couldn't change other people's opinions, so he simply didn't think about these troubles.
Su Xiaoqing asked Su Yifan to take a break, went back to the room by himself, and at the same time began to prepare for today's family dinner by remote control.
Putting down the luggage, Su Yifan subconsciously wanted to make a call to China, but he didn't know who Lu Dao should call and what to say. Su Yifan is not the kind of young man who has a thousand words to tell people, he is trying to calm his heart, so he wants to find someone to talk to.
Just when Su Yifan was hesitating, there was a knock at the door.
Opening the door, Su Xiaoqing stood at the door.
"I forgot to tell you, I can call back and use the bedside one." Su Xiaoqing pointed to the phone on the bedside and said, "And the mobile phone you use now, I have already done international roaming for you in China, and you can use it at any time when you go out." β
Su Yifan didn't know how many times he wanted to say "Xie Lu Xie", but Su Xiaoqing didn't give him this opportunity, smiled and turned back to his room.
Opening the luggage, Su Yifan took out his laptop, and then saw the list of wifi signals almost without searching, which is still the kind that does not require a password.
While connecting to the Internet, Su Yifan called home.
Gu Ying answered the phone first, and when she heard her son's voice, she was obviously a little excited, and the first sentence she spit out when she opened her mouth turned into blame.
"Why did you call home?"
Su Yifan replied honestly: "I don't know how to make international calls, I just found it." β
"Arrived at your uncle's house?"
Su Yifan thought about it for a while, and didn't tell his mother what happened to him here, but replied calmly: "It's here." β
"Okay, let your dad talk to you, the old thing is dying next to him." Although Gu Ying misses her son, she also knows that she can't talk about international long-distance fights.
Su Shen wasn't too worried about his son, he knew Su Yifan better than Gu Ying, so he just asked, "Are they okay with your uncle?" Did you say hello to me? β
"Asked." Su Yifan replied to his father as simply as possible, "I'm going to eat in a while, I have to go take a shower and prepare first." β
"When you're out alone, be polite to people." Su Shen instructed his son, "Also, don't always think about saving money, don't be stingy when you should spend it." β
Su Yifan remembered the four wallets and one bracelet in the Hermes store before, and almost burst into tears, so he could only say insincerely: "I know what I said." β
hung up the phone, Su Yifan went to take a shower and change clothes, and by the way, he left words for Cheng Shuixin and Yang Bingbing on QQ.
Zhang Yao didn't use a chat tool, Su Yifan called Zhang Yao again after taking a bath.
The phone was connected, but there was still no sound over there. Su Yifan has long been accustomed to this kind of thing, so he simply said directly: "Xie Lu, thank you for your gift, I like it very much." β
This time was different from before, Zhang Yao actually said a soft "um" on the other side of the phone.
Su Yifan was surprised, but he didn't expect Zhang Yao to say more, and instructed: "Pay more attention to rest recently, I'll go back in two days." If there is anything to discuss with Cheng Shuixin, she still has a good way. β
"Remember to protect your throat, I also think it is a gift from God." Su Yifan didn't say much and hung up the phone quickly.
After hanging up the phone, Su Yifan saw Zhang Chao's message to himself on the computer. Zhang Chao must have spent a few days of the holiday in an Internet cafΓ©, so it was easy to receive a message from Su Yifan about the time difference.
On the QQ message, Zhang Chao hit a screen of "go die, die, die", ...... Envy, jealousy, and hatred are fully revealed.
Seeing Zhang Chao's message, Su Yifan was in a better mood.
Su Yifan looked down from the window of his bedroom and saw many people busy around the courtyard, which was as lively as a large company party.
Su Xiaoqing can always make strange pomp, even if he invites everyone to dinner.
Because the weather was already very good, Su Xiaoqing simply arranged a dinner party in the courtyard in the evening. The chef Su Yifan didn't know where the road was sacred, and he looked proud and looked like he had a three-star Michelin rating. The well-dressed people shuttled back and forth between the chef and the dining table, and the scene was lively and orderly.
was watching, Su Yifan heard a knock on the door.
There is only Su Xiaoqing herself on this floor, and of course she is standing outside the door. Su Xiaoqing, who changed into loose home clothes, tied her hair into a fluffy ponytail, and her bangs hung down a little messily, giving people a feeling of home and kindness.
Su Yifan found that Su Xiaoqing still had Bluetooth headsets hanging on her ears, proving that she was far busier than she imagined.
"Let's go down and eat together."
Su Yifan nodded, neither hesitating nor pretentious. It doesn't matter that many people in the Su family don't like him, with Su Xiaoqing in him, he is not afraid of anything.
Su Xiaoqing took Su Yifan to sit in the living room for a while, and introduced Su Yifan to the family members he saw before.
His father Su Baiwei doesn't need to go into detail, the second uncle Su Zhenwei is the middle-aged man with the Chinese character face just now, the third uncle Su Xingwei hid in the crowd and didn't speak, he was a fat man with a smile and wrinkles, and his sister-in-law Su Baoling was a brother and sister. The Su family has a history of blood and tears in this branch overseas, and Su Baiwei's father's generation married very late, so the age difference between Su Baiwei and other siblings is not small.
It was Su Baoling who openly expressed her disgust with Su Yifan, this little aunt was the youngest and had a special status in the family. The three brothers all let her, and she found a husband who is a Chinese in the food wholesale business, named Chen Han, who is also in the crowd today.
As for the third generation, Su Xiaoqing didn't bother to introduce it at all. The second uncle and the third uncle are the kind of people whose number of children is comparable to that of the saint seiya's father, and only Su Baiwei is the only daughter.
So Zhenwei has three sons, all of whom are younger and younger than Su, who are 23, 24 and 25 years old. Su Yifan snapped his fingers and calculated, feeling that this second uncle was indeed very good, he was only in his forties this year, which means that he was already in his early twenties and had already made trouble and got married.
Su Xingwei has a son and two daughters, which can be regarded as highly prolific. The son is only seventeen years old when he is very young, and he is about the same age as Su Yifan. The two daughters, one nineteen and one twentie, are both at the age of being flowery in school.
As for the spouses of these uncles and aunts, Su Xiaoqing didn't even bother to mention it: "Anyway, you don't have to recognize everything, it doesn't matter." β
Su Yifan nodded, his advantage is that he can quickly adjust his mentality. It's time to eat or eat, as long as you don't make yourself angry.
Following Su Xiaoqing downstairs, Su Yifan saw a lot of unfriendly eyes. Su Xiaoqing is the most profitable God of Wealth in the entire family, and every elder and young person has tried to have a relationship with her and failed. Only this Su Yifan, who came from outside, was almost loved by Su Xiaoqing.
This imbalance leaves everyone with an unhappy flame in their hearts.
Su Xiaoxiao gently pulled Su Yifan through the makeshift open-air corridor and stopped next to the dining table.
Many eyes shot towards Su Yifan, and there was almost no friendliness. Especially Su Baoling, who pointed at Su Yifan's nose just now and said that he might be a liar, was even more disdainful.
Now Su Yifan didn't care anymore, he smiled at Su Baiwei, who was sitting in the front position: "Hello, uncle." β
Su Baiwei nodded expressionlessly, and agreed to this salutation.
Because of Su Xiaoqing's threat before, no one jumped out to express his opinion at this moment.
The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward.
Su Xiao gently pulled Su Yifan to sit beside him.
"Let's eat, what are you staring at?"
As soon as Su Xiaoqing spoke, many people became even more silent.
Completely ignoring the feelings of these people, Su Xiao waved his hand and beckoned to the chef: "You can start." β
The chef was specially hired to serve these people, and he walked over wearing a high hat and bowed slightly to Su Xiao: "Beautiful Miss Su, I will let you remember my cooking skills." β
Su Xiao chuckled and nodded: "I believe in you." β
Having said that, no one wants to jump out against it. The feast finally kicked off with difficulty.
Even if they can't oppose it explicitly, these people still understand passive resistance. Su Xiaoqing introduced Su Yifan softly one by one, but the sons of the second and third uncles over there had already begun to chat with each other in English.
Su Yifan thinks that these people are too childish, are they bullying high school students for not being good enough in English?
Su Xiaoqing didn't say much, and shook his wrist in the direction of Su Baiwei: "When I went out just now, Su Yifan gave it to me." β
HermΓ¨s bracelets are not pretty, and the shape is complicated and heavy. It was worn by Su Xiaoqing on the wrist, but it looked extremely beautiful, and the golden bracelet on the snow-white arm was reflected by the light with a moving luster. The third uncle's eldest daughter, Su Lishi, was attracted to her eyes and asked in surprise: "This is the limited edition of Hermes?" β
No one was surprised that Su Xiaoqing bought anything by herself, and her wealth was now available even in the entire United States. As soon as Su Yifan met, he bought such a valuable thing for Su Xiaoqing, which made these people a little surprised.
Su Lishi's gaze was a little different when she looked at Su Yifan again, she could afford a bracelet close to 140,000 US dollars, how could she not be regarded as a poor relative.
Su Yifan knew that this was Su Xiaoqing building momentum for himself, and he wanted to sincerely explain that this was what he owed Su Xiaoqing, and he was afraid that talking nonsense at such a time would make Su Xiaoqing fall into passivity.
The young man was easily frightened, but the sister-in-law Su Baoling pinched her throat and asked, "Xiaoqing, this gift is very valuable." Didn't he say it was given to you, and you paid for it yourself, right? β
Su Baoling's words caused a burst of whispering.
Several young people began to discuss with each other, and seeing that Su Yifan neither refuted nor spoke, they couldn't help but trust Su Baoling's speculation a little.
Su Xiaoqing put down his wrist and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you remember how much you took from me for the first dividend?" β
Su Baoling showed a kind smile: "Remember, of course remember, two million and four million." β
Su Xiao bowed slightly: "Yes, two million and four million." And what did you send me? β
Su Baoling's face changed.
Su Xiaoqing once said before that she didn't need any gifts.
That's what Su Xiaoqing said, as for what other people do, it depends on those people's own actions.
The Su family really has never given Su Xiaoqing a gift, not a single one.
The reason is very simple, Su Xiaoqing doesn't need anything, she can have almost everything she wants.
When Su Lishi was still rolling coquettishly to her father to buy a car, Su Xiaoqing already hated the famous car club.
When Su Zhenwei's eldest son Su Juyi was still hesitating to buy a $200,000 diamond ring to propose to his girlfriend, Su Xiaoqing didn't even bother to touch the diamond necklace.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Fortunately, Su Xiaoqing never mentioned these things, and never cared.
But today, for Su Yifan's sake, Su Xiaoqing finally spoke.
Su Xiao's meaning is very simple.
There are too many mercenary people in this family, and family affection is just a tool they use to maintain their own interests
