Chapter Forty-Eight: This Meal Was Hard
"Women are always in a bad mood for a few days a month, don't you know? Okay, go about your business, I'd like to be on my own for a while. ”
There is no need to let Lu Shichen know about some things, she can solve it herself, can't she?
Don't those who want to have a presence in front of themselves want to behave?
She'll let them behave enough!
Nie Anxia's eyes seemed to erupt with flames, and a fool would believe that she would be in a bad mood for the reason in her mouth. But Lu Shichen is a man in the end, and in that regard, he is an ignorant rookie, and he doesn't even have a reason to refute it.
looked at Nie Anxia suspiciously for a while, and then left with confidence.
Since Lu Shangqi was injured, Old Man Lu, who had never dined in the restaurant on the first floor, came to the restaurant for the first time.
Therefore, Lu Shichen and Nie Anxia, as juniors, also had to hurry up and pack themselves up at the time of the old man Lu and go downstairs for dinner.
However, the two of them were a step late, and Lu Shangqi and Zhuang Yuexian were sitting at the dining table.
Lu Shangqi was expressionless, but his eyes were glazed, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
It's Zhuang Yuexian, who has always been arrogant, but when she looks at her face at this time, she is a little pale, even if she pounces on such a thick layer of fine powder, she still can't cover it.
Either way, these two men have apparently been waiting here for a long time.
When Nie Anxia went downstairs, when she saw the scene, she felt a little familiar.
An ominous premonition suddenly appeared in her heart, she pulled Lu Shichen's clothes nervously, and the other party didn't have much reaction, just stretched out a big hand and patted the back of her hand, as if telling her to rest assured.
Seeing that the two of them refused to sit down, Old Man Lu took the lead in speaking.
"Since you're here, let's sit down and eat."
Since Nie Anxia came to the Lu family, the number of times their family sat at the same table to eat was really rare, and this was the second time she had experienced.
When she was a maid before, Nie Anxia's level was not enough, and she hadn't mixed into the villa yet, so she didn't know what the situation was before.
This meal can be described as quite depressing, and everyone shows the rule of not saying anything.
It seems that when Old Man Lu is here, the atmosphere itself is depressing, right? Even Nie Anxia, a person who talks a lot, can't say a word, let alone Lu Shangqi and Zhuang Yuexian.
Xu felt that the atmosphere was too depressing, Lu Shichen picked up the chopsticks and took a few bites, swallowed the same taste as chewing wax, and decisively put down the chopsticks.
"Grandpa, uncle and aunt, you eat slowly. I was full and went back first. Lu Shichen was about to get up after speaking.
At this time, Zhuang Yuexian also put down her chopsticks: "Dad, I've eaten too......"
Zhuang Yuexian stood up directly, looking at Old Man Lu with her eyes.
Nie Anxia looked at this gaze and saw a little begging feeling, what was going on? Why are Lu Shangqi and Zhuang Yuexian so strange today?
Nie Anxia looked at the table full of delicacies, her snorts were full of the fragrance of food, no matter how big her heart was, she couldn't enjoy the food wholeheartedly in this serious atmosphere.
"Grandpa, I'...... I don't eat it either. Nie Anxia put down his chopsticks and got up.
An old hand suddenly slapped on the table, and the tableware on the solid wood dining table trembled: "It's against you, isn't it?" Is it so hard to have dinner with my old man? Do you want me to beg you? ”
Old Man Lu's hidden angry voice suddenly came, and everyone trembled, stunned in place and didn't know how to react.
Except for Lu Shangqi, everyone had a reaction, that is, it was not to leave, to sit down and continue to eat, and it was not.
At this time, Lu Shangqi started to be a peacemaker.
"How can I be, Dad. Don't be angry. He first comforted the old man, and then quickly turned back to the other three and said, "Why don't you hurry up and sit down to eat?" Even if you're not hungry, you have to give me food! ”
Seeing that everyone did not move, Lu Shangqi had to put his hope on his wife Zhuang Yuexian.
"Yuexian, what do you want? Not in a hurry? ”
Zhuang Yuexian's face turned pale, although she was a little reluctant, because of Lu Shangqi's face, she finally sat down.
At this time, Lu Shangqi and Nie Anxia were missing, not only Lu Shangqi was watching the two of them, but even Old Man Lu's eyes fell on the two of them.
Now, they have to accompany this meal if they want to, and if they don't want to accompany it, they have to accompany it!
After recognizing this, Nie Anxia didn't want to do any fearless struggle, and carefully pulled Lu Shichen's arm.
"Shi Chen, I know that the company's affairs are busy, and you can't eat in a hurry. But I still have to eat! Without a good body, how can you possibly have the energy to continue running a company? It just so happens that grandpa is still here, so you should accompany grandpa to have a good meal, okay? ”
Nie Anxia said softly, like a wife who gently persuades her husband, well-behaved and sensible, respectful of the elderly, and polite.
These words gave enough face to Old Man Lu.
Although Old Man Lu didn't speak, the lines on his face secretly eased a lot, and he was obviously not as angry as he was just now.
Lu Shichen first glanced at Nie Anxia, then turned his head to look at the old man Lu who was sitting in the center, and immediately nodded.
"I'm going to sit here." He raised his hand and pointed to the position where Nie Anxia was sitting before.
Nie Anxia didn't know why, but seeing Lu Shichen's determined look, and looking at the situation at this time, even if he had more doubts in his heart, he had to swallow it all.
"Okay, you can sit wherever you want." She smiled at everyone, and then said with great pampering.
She took Lu Shichen's hand and came to her previous position, and after letting Lu Shichen sit down, she sat down in the position where Lu Shichen had sat before.
Of course, when she sat down, she couldn't help but scold.
What the hell is Lu Shichen doing, just having a meal, what are you doing in a different position?
But after sitting down, she immediately understood the deep meaning of Lu Shichen's doing.
If they still sit in the previous order, Lu Shichen and Lu Shangqi are undoubtedly the closest people to Old Man Lu, Lu Shangqi did not change his position, and the two of them became Nie Anxia the closest to Old Man Lu.
Feelings: This guy is holding such thoughts......
She thought of it with a black line, and couldn't help but glance at her mouth, and the moment she inadvertently raised her eyes, she found that everyone was looking at her silently, without the slightest intention of moving chopsticks.
"Why don't you move your chopsticks? I'm a little hungry, use chopsticks! ”
As soon as Nie Anxia said this, Old Man Lu took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and picking up the dishes, and everyone returned to their previous appearance, as if the little episode of leaving the table had never happened.
With everyone so engrossed in their meal that they didn't even say a word, the dinner was quickly over.
Everyone put down their chopsticks one after another, but they didn't leave the table, but sat in place and looked at Old Man Lu one after another.
Old Man Lu first greeted the maid and cleaned up the leftovers on the table, without the slightest intention of letting everyone leave.
"Are you all full?" After the maid took care of everything, Old Man Lu suddenly asked out loud.
"I'm full." Everyone replied in unison, and their eyes all looked at Old Man Lu in unison.
With such a posture, if you can't see what's going on, then you've been living in the Lu family for so long.
Lu Shangqi thought secretly in his heart, gave Zhuang Yuexian a meaningful look, and motioned for her to sit honestly.
Nie Anxia was still inexperienced in the end, and felt that he could leave when he was full, and just as he was about to get up, he was held down by Lu Shichen. After seeing the other party's slight shaking of his head, Nie Anxia stopped moving.
At this time, Old Man Lu spoke again: "After eating, we have to settle the account." ”
At the end, Old Man Lu stretched out a finger and pointed at Nie Anxia's face beside him, and continued, "Who of you knows what is going on with Miss Nie's face? ”
At the moment when this question was raised, Nie Anxia heard a sudden sound of discussion around him.
Because the other party's mosquito-like buzzing voice was too small, and the distance was a little far, Nie Anxia couldn't tell what they were talking about at all.
Lu Shangqi and Zhuang Yuexian changed their faces one after another, and Lu Shangqi's face was as black as ink, blacker than the bottom of the black pot that had been used for more than ten years.
Zhuang Yuexian's face was pale, she looked a little scary, and her body was trembling.
Nie Anxia looked at Zhuang Yuexian's appearance, and even had the illusion that if it weren't for Lu Shangqi secretly pressing her, she would be able to rush out of the restaurant with one arrow.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze, and no one spoke for a long time.
It was Lu Shichen who took the lead in breaking the deadlock: "Grandpa, An An's face is almost better, I looked at the wound, and I don't think there will be any scars in the future, so forget it." ”
These words were said in a down-to-earth manner, and after Lu Shichen finished speaking, he also shifted his gaze to Nie Anxia.
She knew that this was to allow herself to speak with him.
"Yes, grandpa, my face is fine, if our family is not in harmony because of this incident, wouldn't it be my sin again? So, let it be over. ”
In fact, on the day she was beaten, Nie Anxia didn't want to seek justice for herself, because she had her own way to make Zhuang Yuexian pay.
It's a pity that the people of the Lu family are used to seeing the high and the low, and they even bullied her Nie Anxia's head, how could she endure this breath?
On the surface, Lu Shichen and Nie Anxia said this because they didn't want to investigate Zhuang Yuexian's beating of themselves.
In fact, in front of everyone's eyes, if Old Man Lu really follows what the two of them say and does not pursue it, he will leave a personal impression in everyone's hearts. This is not a simple matter for the head of the Lu family.
You must know that the head of the Lu family, every word and deed, is to serve the public!
Old Man Lu was naturally able to see through the little tricks of these two people, he first snorted coldly, and some dim eyes first glanced at Lu Shangqi and Zhuang Yuexian's bodies, and finally fell on Lu Shichen's body through Nie Anxia.
"If you really don't want me to deal with this, why do you want Miss Nie to sit across from me and remind me? Shi Chen, my good grandson, and grandpa are here! ”
As soon as Old Man Lu said this, Nie Anxia suddenly realized.
She thought that Lu Shichen didn't want to face Old Man Lu, so she had to change positions, but it turned out that there was another reason.
After the two of them changed positions, not only did the distance between them and the old man get closer, but the black blue on his face shook back and forth under Old Man Lu's nose.
This old man Lu is not blind, how can he not see his face?
