70 Chen's Family Banquet (2)

"What about your mother?" Chen's father continued to ask.

Ouyang Lai's eyes flickered, and he replied gently with a smile: "I passed away very early." ”

Father Chen's brows frowned, and he couldn't see what kind of emotion it was, so he only said, "Eat quickly, the food is cold." ”

Ouyang Lai nodded, and Qiao Mu picked up vegetables for her.

The restaurant was a little deserted for a while, until Ms. Tan Qing looked at her daughter with disgust and complained: "You don't weigh so many things in your hands, you take them off!" ”

"Don't go!" Josie didn't buy it, and continued to gracefully and gracefully sandwich the lobster meat.

"Brother...."Josie suddenly opened her mouth, "What about Emily?" ”

Qiao Mu's chopsticks froze, thinking to himself what this little little bit wanted to do.

Before he could respond, Josie had already enthusiastically introduced Ouyang Lai: "Sister Emily is my brother's ex-girlfriend, she is beautiful, her family background is good, and she is still a graduate student at King's College, Cambridge University, super powerful ......"

After finishing speaking, he then looked at Ouyang Lai: "Sister, where did you graduate?" ”

Ouyang Lai's chopsticks were stuck in his mouth, his eyes were raised, and he was about to speak, but he was preempted by Qiao Mu: "Xiao Lai is a graduate of the Department of Journalism of Communication University, and now he is the chief reporter of real-time online...."

At the end, Qiao Mu pinched the back of Ouyang Lai's hand and looked at her with a pair of eyes: "Very good." ”

Ouyang Lai smiled lightly, then turned his head to look at Josie: "It seems that your brother's vision has always been good, and his previous girlfriends are very good." ”

Seeing that she was so calm, Chen Qiaoxi suddenly had a fighting spirit, and simply put down his chopsticks: "My brother's level is naturally good, his family is rich, his character is perfect, he is still the heir to tens of billions of assets, and he is still handsome, he also has to find someone who matches him!" ”

Qiao Mu grinned: "It's the first time I've heard you praise me like this, and I'm still a little uncomfortable." ”

Josie looked at him complainingly: "It's none of your business, don't talk!" ”

Ouyang Lai heard this, and Qiao Mu also took a lot of preventive injections before coming, saying that his sister grew up under the protection of everyone, and everything she encountered was solved with the help of others, but she couldn't see through this, she always had a successful appearance of a young man, she liked to preach, and most importantly, snobbish was not good.

Ouyang Lai didn't think she hated it, but felt a little cute.

So he also put down his chopsticks, first looked at Father Chen, who was frowning and bowing his head to eat, and then looked at Ms. Tan Qing, who was thinking about the world, and finally turned his eyes to Josie.

She lazily spoke, "Hmm.... It's the first time I've eaten so close to someone like my uncle and aunt...."

Ouyang Lai smiled: "It's really a blessing...."

"Of course!" Josie was so proud that her eyes were about to run to the top of her head.

Ouyang Lai's hand under the table held the arbor behind his back, and the temperature of his palm deepened little by little.

She slowly opened her mouth: "Your brother is indeed very good..."

"He's smart, kind, upright, and quite indomitable...."Speaking of this, Ouyang Lai smiled brightly: "I see that he has more qualities than external substances...."

Josie shrugged her nose disdainfully: "Who wouldn't say that, today's girls, who doesn't want to marry into a wealthy family without worrying about food and clothing?" ”

Ouyang Lai echoed: "Well, yes, if he is smart and kind, honest and brave, plus he is worth a lot of money, he is naturally very outstanding...."

Josie raised an eyebrow at her parents at the dining table: "Look, I'm right!" ”

Then he turned to Qiao Mu: "Brother, listen, admit it, right?" ”

"But..."Ouyang Lai didn't mind, and continued: "I don't think that girls who like material things must have impure motives...."

Chen Qiaoxi frowned: "You are quibbling!" ”

Ouyang Lai continued to be patient, smiling: "Then let me ask you, do you like your bags and jewelry?" ”

Josie snorted coldly: "What if you like it?" ”

"Hmm, then would you approach someone with impure motives?"

"How do you compare to me!"

"Why can't it be compared?" Ouyang Lai smiled solemnly and beautifully: "Except for all the blessed aura, you and I are essentially the same..."

Josie was speechless.

I'm not afraid to be reasonable, I'm afraid that I'm just afraid of being so calmly reasonable.

I didn't even have a chance to raise my voice and shout two sentences, which was really frustrating.....

Josie looked at Ms. Tan Qing as if asking for help: "Mom, you can also say a few words!" ”

Ms. Tan Qing looked kind: "Well, I think what Xiao Lai said is quite reasonable, except for the ones we gave you, you are just a girl, useless!" ”

When Josie heard this, her face twisted like a twisted flower: "It seems that my meeting with your mahjong team is going to be advanced!" ”

Ms. Tan Qing immediately smiled and said: "But Xiao Lai, what your sister said also has some truth, Qiao Mu has been pampered since childhood, and it is inevitable that he will develop many bad problems, and you still need to run in more..."

"Yes!" Josie had foreign aid, and her voice was a little brighter: "My brother has been pampered since he was a child, arrogant and lascivious..."

"Josie......." Qiao Mu raised his forehead and whispered....

"Ahem....." Josie swallowed, "I mean, my brother has developed a lot of bad habits, such as hiccups, farting, ....."

"Qiaoxi Chen!" Qiao Mu raised his eyes and looked sharply at his sister, who was open-mouthed.

Josie stuck out her tongue, smiled awkwardly, and immediately said in a straight voice: "In short, this sister, my brother is not suitable for you!" “

"If you say it's not suitable, it's not suitable?" Ouyang Lai showed a slight edge.

This sentence made Chen's father, who was immersed in eating, also raise his head.

Josie was stunned, as if she was shocked...

"What do you mean by fit?" Ouyang Lai asked rhetorically.

Josie hesitated for a long time and said, "The right person is the basic condition. ”

"Hmm....." Ouyang Lai held his cheek with one hand: "Does the door pair refer to material matching or spiritual matching?" Since ancient times, why did the emperor select talents to open the imperial examination? Why don't you pick a few positions among the princes and generals that match your portal? ... Why are there also those poor scholars who are selected from all over the world who are elegant and full of wealth? Those people can't match the material, but the abundance of the spiritual world is comparable to the royal family, so are they worthy? ”

Ouyang Lai's voice was not half sharp, on the contrary, it was lazy, but in his words, it was sharp.

Taking advantage of the gap in breathing, Chen's father also put down his chopsticks and began to look at the girl seriously.

I only heard her continue: "Yes, the door-to-door match can reduce the wrong pairing rate, but the reduction does not mean denial, and it cannot be denied that there are always people who match their spirit in the vast sea of people......"

"What you say is so illusory! What is not spiritual, it is all some high-sounding excuses! Josie still refuses to admit defeat.

"Well, there's nothing more practical than the spiritual world.... I like to read books, I like movies, I like songs, I have been to cities, I have seen coastlines, I have seen landscapes... Or the attitude towards the bad guys, the attitude towards the good guys, the attitude towards right and wrong... Or the breakfast you like in the morning, the lunch you like, the dinner you don't like..."

Ouyang Lai's head tilted to the side of Qiao Mu, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes: "The spiritual world is to turn you and me into us, and what we do together is happy, plump, and without flaws, such a match is one in a million...."

Hearing this, Ms. Tan Qing quietly bumped the shoulder of her son who was sitting on her right side, and whispered, "Sure enough, there are two brushes!" ”

Qiao Mu raised his eyes and smiled: "Hmm, there are indeed two brushes." ”
