Chapter 624: Xia Family Affair (4)
Didn't Sister Xia tell them about her background?
Why do you still scream for a little week, thinking that this call can bring you closer?
Let Li Jingchen come and sit here, and see if they dare to call Xiao Li?
Although Zhou Fan knows it well, he has no background to speak of, he himself is his biggest background.
But it's a fact that he asked the Li family to bow their heads and give in, right? Why aren't these people serious, and they still want to pluck the hair from him, really when he Zhou Fan is iron-handed?
Zhou Fan smiled: "Uncles, aunts and aunts, you have said so much, why don't you let me say a few words?" ”
"As for me, today is to accompany Yufeng home for a New Year's dinner, I didn't expect to see so many relatives, the etiquette is a little inconsiderate, and I hope the elders can understand."
"Both of us are young people, and we naturally plan to do it, but that's a private matter for the two of us, so it's not convenient to tell you, so as not to let the elders worry about our juniors, you say yes?"
"As for my parents, let's be honest, I have no parents, no brothers and sisters, I am the only one on the household registration page of my Zhou family now, and I will have one more language style in the future."
"As for the company, there is nothing. I'm an esports player now and have my own team. ”
Xia Yanqing frowned and asked, "E-sports players? What is esports and is it a game? ”
"You can say that, but it's not just a game, it's a manifestation of a competitive spirit."
Zhou Fan's answer was neither humble nor arrogant, but it was obvious that the eyes of those uncles had obviously changed.
Next to him, Xia Yuhai helped explain: "E-sports is very popular now, and powerful e-sports players have a salary of millions a year, if the results are better, go to the live broadcast platform to start a live broadcast, and receive gifts can earn tens of millions a year." ”
Although he said this, his tone was not very envious.
For a family like theirs, tens of millions a year is really not much.
In the heyday of Xiajia Consulting Company, the flow of seventy or eighty million yuan a year was casual.
Although the business is not good now, many old customers take care of it a little bit for the sake of their past friendships, and they also have an income of 20 or 30 million a year.
It's just that in the past few years, the three houses have competed with each other, and the account books are chaotic, so that more and more people are willing to do business well, and they all want to quickly put their share into the bag, and they are also trying to covet other people's shares.
From the original good story of brothers working together to start a business together to the current intrigue, it is really ironic.
Xia Yufeng didn't know much about these things, and he didn't talk to Zhou Fan in detail.
After all, she is a woman, nominally one of the heirs of the family, but in this traditional family, the status of women is always lower.
She knew this for a long time, so she never regarded herself as the eldest lady of the Xia family, living a luxurious life of fine clothes and food, never.
Even after going to college, she refused to give up the living expenses and tuition fees given by her family, and relied on her part-time job to earn money and be self-reliant.
Xia Yufeng has experienced a lot of things, but after so many years, she has become accustomed to it.
Once you get used to it, it scabs over, and it doesn't hurt so much.
Xia Yufeng's sister-in-law was straightforward, completely ignoring the powder on her face, and asked, "That'...... Xiao Zhou, you know the top ...... of the style of speech Boyfriend, right? ”
She almost wanted to say that her ex-husband was here, but fortunately she quickly changed her words.
"Do you know about her ex-boyfriend Li Jingchen?"
Zhou Fan showed a harmless smile and said: "I know, the style of speech has been told to me, but since I love her, I am willing to accept her past, after all, the future still has to be created by the two of us with our hands." ”
The sister-in-law nodded, and the aunt took over the conversation: "It's really a blessing for Yufeng to find a boyfriend like you, so are you ready to get engaged when?" How much is the bride price? The tone is thin-skinned, embarrassed to ask such a question, a few of us as her relatives, we have to help her take care of it, don't blame us old people for speaking too directly. ”
"No, no, I understand." Zhou Fan smiled, paused for two seconds, and continued, "Don't worry about the engagement first, I haven't graduated from college yet!" ”
"What? Xiao Zhou: Are you still in college? ”
When this sentence came out, several other relatives were a little surprised, "Then isn't the age of you and Yufeng...... Far from it? ”
They looked at each other, as if they had only grasped Zhou Fan's true situation until this moment.
Zhou Fan still did not deny it, nodded and said: "But in the face of true love, age is not a problem, I really like her, and I am willing to spend the rest of my life with her, please rest assured, I Zhou Fan will do what he says, and he will never break his word and get fat." ”
We're not thinking about whether you can grow old with Xia Yufeng, sand sculpture.
Uncle Xia Yanqing exchanged glances with his aunt, saying that he was addicted to smoking, so he went to smoke a cigarette and came back later.
The aunt looked at her phone and said that Xia Yufeng's father had gotten the wine, but she couldn't tell the truth from the fake, so she had to go over and take a look.
The two walked out of the door one after the other, Xia Yanqing's face changed instantly, and he said a little hysterically: "Didn't you say that this Zhou Fan is the son of the Zhou family in J City, how do you look at him, he is just an ordinary person!" ”
Aunt Xia Su's expression was also very annoyed, and she frowned and said: "How do I know, it was all said by Xia Yufeng's little slut, but it was said decently, don't you believe it too?" ”
"I have to believe the point! The housekeeper of the Li family personally called the second child, saying that the marriage contract between the Li family and Xia Yufeng was officially canceled, and the Li family would not blame the Xia family for this. If it weren't for someone more powerful than the Li family to stop him, do you think the head of the Li family would not take into account the feelings of his own son? Li Gongzi has been able to run rampant in Shudu for so many years, and there is nothing at all, and it can already be seen that the head of the Li family dotes on his only son! ”
"What are you yelling at me, it's not something I provoked. Don't you allow Li Gongzi to change his mind, the prodigal son turns back, and decides to be a good person? In the past few months, I haven't heard of him racing in the city, and I haven't heard of the club being hit by another disaster, I think it's that Li Gongzi was influenced, stopped doing those messy things, and began to inherit the family business. ”
"Then he went to inherit the family business, what should we do, should we wait for death? It's not Xia Yufeng yet, your niece is not angry! You can still be kicked out when you enter someone else's house, you have no means at all, Bai Chang is so beautiful! Damn, if it weren't for her being my niece, I wouldn't have been tempted to try her moisture. ”
Xia Xu looked disgusted and disgusted, glanced at the door, and said, "Your boss Xia had better take care of your second child, and don't do anything irrational." Even if Xia Yufeng was returned by the Li family, it was also a relationship with Li Gongzi, and he was his person, if you want to say something like that again, then our agreement will be written off! I'm not going to plan with you anymore. ”
Xia Yanqing hurriedly smiled and said, "I'm not used to it, just kidding, don't take it seriously." Let's go back to that Zhou Fan, how much truth do you think is true or false in what he just said? ”
Xia Xu thought for a while: "Eight points are true and two points are false, I look at his appearance, he may not really like Xia Yufeng, maybe he also has the idea of coveting the power of the Xia family." It should be true that he is still in college, Xiaohai secretly checked it just now, that Zhou Fan is indeed an e-sports player, a student of B University, and the top student in the college entrance examination in S Province last year, and he really has no background. All of this information is available online. ”
Xia Yanqing touched his chin and fell into deep thought: "That is to say, it is not this Zhou Fan who pressed the Li family to bow their heads, but someone else, or what thoughts does the Li family have that we don't know?" What a fucking thing, I thought I could cling to a thigh, hey, I didn't think we were the thighs. ”
Xia Yanqing gritted his teeth: "Since this is the case, then there is no need to be polite to that kid, and it will be broken up as soon as possible." Otherwise, if Li Gongzi remembered that he once had such a woman, and found out that he was married to someone else, it would be us who suffered! After all, she can run back to J City by patting her ass, and our roots are still in Shudu! ”
Xia Xu nodded, turned the gold ring on his finger, and said slowly: "Let's see what the second child says first, after all, this is his daughter, and the company also has a part of him, he should know what to do." ”
Inside the house.
Two people left, but there were still many people sitting on the sofa, but it was obvious that after Zhou Fan said those words, Xia Yufeng's relatives were greatly less interested in him, and they didn't have a match when they asked.
Zhou Fan had no choice but to play with his mobile phone while watching Xia Yuhai play games.
He also played the glory of kings, it seems to be a qualifying match, and the hero used by Xia Yuhai is Dian Wei on the side, who played very strongly, and in just two minutes, he has died three times.
Every time he was resurrected, he screamed and picked up the halberd and rushed forward, and when he was in a group, he didn't know how to dodge at all.
Most of his teammates and opponents are like this, just see people put their skills to fight, how can there be any tactical strategy, outflank the rear, and contain in a roundabout way.
Zhou Fan judged at a glance that Xia Yuhai's rank should not be very high, so let's go down platinum.
I actually won this game!
Xia Yuhai's Dian Wei relied on such brute force, mixed up a lot of assists, and the passive ended up stacking, and the damage exploded.
In addition, no one pushed the tower, and both sides were looking for people to kill indiscriminately, and slowly Xia Yuhai's equipment was formed, and the blood-sucking effect came up, and he could already carry the dog head on the opposite side of the damage blasting hammer.
Xia Yuhai also found that Zhou Fan had been glancing at him, and after winning this game, he was a little proud: "How about it, Zhou Fan, from the perspective of your professional player, I can play okay, right?" ”
Zhou Fan nodded, and gave Xia Yuhai a lot of encouragement, and he opened another game.
The luck of this game is not as good as the previous game, the opposite side is a hundred miles away, and the level 1 short sword goes out and is ambushed in the grass.
When Xia Yuhai ran out to prepare to clear the army, Baili Shouyu came out to go to him, he rushed up and fought with Shouyu, and was directly shot out of his brain by Shou Yue 2 skill, and died on the spot.
After that, he was pressed and beaten.,Before level 4 arrived.,I was beaten back twice.,It's even under the coercion of the opposite jungler Na Ke Lulu.,2 minutes on the road 1 tower was broken.,It's so miserable that you don't want it.。
After this game, Xia Yuhai didn't say anything, and opened another game indignantly, but Zhou Fan didn't have the time to look at him anymore. Xia Yufeng is back.
Xia Yufeng sat next to Zhou Fan, and his soft body leaned against Zhou Fan's side, which couldn't help but make his heart flutter. This has nothing to do with concentration, nor has it to do with moral quality, as long as it is a man and there is such a stunner sitting next to him, who wouldn't be ape-minded?
Even eunuchs who have been castrated will have seven emotions and six desires, which is human nature.
It's just that Zhou Fan knows very well in his heart that he and Sister Xia are playing on the spot, he just wants to help Sister Xia chase her dreams, and the relationship between them is a more pure friendship, not love.
It is precisely because of this that he can have a clear conscience in front of Du Ruoxue. Du Ruoxue also knew this, so that she would not be jealous and force Zhou Fan and Xia Yufeng to draw a clear line.
"What were you just doing?" Xia Yufeng leaned into Zhou Fan's ear and asked in a low voice.
Xia Yufeng's exhalation blew on Zhou Fan's ears, making his ears a little itchy, and he also replied in a low voice: "Just now, these uncles and aunts asked me some basic information, and I finished speaking, don't worry." ”
Xia Yufeng smiled and gently put his palm into Zhou Fan's hand.
Not long after Xia Yufeng sat down, Xia Yanqing Xia Xu entered the door with his front foot and back foot, and beside them was a middle-aged man with lush hair, Zhou Fan recognized him at a glance, he was Xia Yufeng's father, Xia Yanxing.
After all, the three brothers are somewhat similar in appearance. The boss Xia Yanqing has a relatively thick body, a large face, and red and black skin, and looks like a drunkard.
The second Xia Yanxing, that is, Xia Yufeng's father, has moderate facial features, a thick body, and wears a pair of gold-wire glasses. Just looking at his appearance, he doesn't look like the kind of person who can do things like selling women for glory.
The third child, Xia Yanli, is thin, fair-skinned, and looks like a playboy, even though he is nearly 50 years old, he is still dressed in a very foreign style, and he wears a watch that is obviously worth a lot of money on his wrist.
As soon as Xia Yanxing entered the door, he saw Zhou Fan sitting on the innermost sofa, nodded slightly, signaled Zhou Fan not to stand up, put down the gift box in his hand, and naturally smiled at Xia Yufeng: "Yufeng is back?" Have you seen your mother? ”
Xia Yufeng's mood was not quite right from the moment Xia Yanxing entered the door, Zhou Fan obviously felt that the palm she put in her hand suddenly became stiff, I don't know if it was nervous or hateful, or both.
At this time, it was a great test of acting skills, and Xia Yufeng reluctantly replied with a um", and did not continue to speak.
Aunt Xia Xu hurriedly said: "The meal seems to be almost ready, I'll go to the kitchen to serve the dishes, let's go to the restaurant and sit down first, don't be stunned here, aren't you hungry?" ”
After that, she took the gift box that Xia Yanxing had just put down, opened it, and inside were two bottles of well-packaged collector's edition national wine.
She took out a bottle first, opened it, sniffed it slightly at the mouth of the bottle, and said with a smile: "This wine is real, this aroma, without thirty years of hard work, it can't be released!" ”
"Xiao Zhou will drink bars? Drink more later, you may not have many chances to drink this wine anywhere else! ”
Xia Xu didn't seem to look down on Zhou Fan in his words, so he took the wine and went to find the cup.
There is a large family left, and now they are also ignoring Zhou Fan, which is completely different from the warm and familiar when they first came in.
"Your family is too real, isn't it?" Zhou Fan stood up, took Xia Yufeng's hand, and whispered.
Xia Yufeng smiled and replied in the same low voice: "They all have a pair of snobbish eyes, just get used to it, I'm sorry for making you wronged." ”
Zhou Fan shook his head slightly, what kind of grievance is this, this picture only makes him feel ridiculous.
As the old saying goes, don't judge people by their appearance, and don't be too arrogant and look down on people, but in the real world, there will still be countless people with an inexplicable sense of superiority.
In high school, Wang Yuzhi can rely on his father who is a school director to make other classmates dare to be angry.
In college, there are also Xu Lang, Jia Jian, Yuan Xiandong and others.
This kind of thing really has nothing to do with academic qualifications or family background, and it doesn't mean that people who are rich and educated are more qualified.
Zhou Fan already understands such things very well.
He followed Xia Yufeng to the restaurant, and with the help of the hired aunt, there were already more than a dozen dishes on the table.
The family walked over to the table and each found his own seat and sat down, as if they were all familiar with each other and knew where they should sit.
Zhou Fan was worried for a while, but at this time, Xia Yanxing smiled and said, "Xiao Zhou, come and sit next to me." ”
When Xia Yanli heard this, he took the initiative to get out of the way, and the people next to him also moved in turn, and everyone looked at Zhou Fan with blazing eyes, wanting to see if this young man could sit down under such great pressure.
Zhou Fan smiled politely, behaved very calmly, said thank you to Xia Yanli and pulled out the chair and sat in, without any sense of restraint and nervousness.
This mentality made these people who were not very optimistic about him a little surprised.
The next sentence Zhou Fan said was even more stunned.
"That...... Uncle, if you don't sit down a little longer, I want Yufeng to sit next to me. ”
Zhou Fan said very reasonably, as if he didn't know what it meant to be respectful and inferior, what was the order of the elders and young, and what was the order of the big family.
Being able to let him sit on the side of the main seat is already a great importance to him, but he still has to inch in, this kid......
Xia Yanli smiled and said to Xia Xu next to him, Sister went over one more, and she also took the initiative to get up and change her seat, letting Xia Yufeng sit in his own place.
Anyway, this picture is a little weird and tolerant.
It's as if everyone knows that autumn is coming, so they jump around with grasshoppers, and anyway, their lives are short, and what they do seems so ridiculous.
Xia Yufeng's mother Zhang Ping also came, she glanced at where Zhou Fan and Xia Yufeng were sitting, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, but she didn't say anything, and sat next to Xia Yuhai.
As the current head of the Xia family, Xia Yanxing should have said something, but he just smiled and raised his wine glass and said: "I wish you relatives and friends a lot of money and good health in the new year, don't say anything else, let's have dinner!" ”
The whole meal was very depressing.
There is no lively and festive atmosphere of relatives and friends to eat for the New Year, everyone is buried in eating their own, occasionally picking up a chopstick dish, exchanging glances and saying that this dish is really good, spicy enough, strong enough, eat two more bites.
In addition, the people sitting nearby whispered to each other, and there was no atmosphere of pushing cups and changing lamps during the festival.
Zhou Fan was not treated coldly. While eating by himself, Xia Yanxing would occasionally pick up dishes for Zhou Fan, ask some parents about their shortcomings, and tell some interesting stories about Xia Yufeng when he was a child, to make fun of his daughter, and behaved very kindly.
When Xia Yanxing put down the chopsticks, it seemed that they had been discussed unanimously, and everyone put down the bowls together and stopped talking.
It's like the silence before a storm.
