Chapter 291: The deserted Xiao Mansion
Located in the Xiao Family Mansion in the middle of the mountain, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is particularly deserted.
For the first time, Xiao Jingting was missing, and there were only three people sitting in the empty restaurant, although there were not many people in normal times, only one less person than before, but after all, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, symbolizing the Chinese New Year's Eve of family reunion, and there was still no reunion.
Xiao Yalong sat at the dining table, his face had not been happy, and he didn't have any appetite when he looked at the delicacies on the table.
He really didn't expect that Xiao Jingting, the grandson he brought up since childhood, would dare to disobey himself, and for the sake of a girl, he would take a cold shower and blow the cold wind by himself, and he just wanted to run away from the fever he tossed, and his grandfather didn't want it.
Xiao Jingyan looked for a bottle of good wine from the wine cellar for a long time, took the wine, and came to the restaurant happily, followed by Lin Zhilan, who went to ask him to come back for dinner.
"Grandpa, I found a bottle of good wine, it's the New Year, let's drink some?" Xiao Jingyan looked flattering and obedient, if it wasn't for his grandfather a year ago, he would have been eaten alive by those emotional, red-faced shareholders, he had seen it, although his grandfather was older, but his courage was still there, and after they saw his grandfather, they didn't even dare to say anything.
Mom is right, as long as there is a grandfather, the Xiao Group will never change hands, and it seems that there is still a lot to please grandpa.
Lin Zhilan also took out three goblets from the wine cabinet, placed them on the table one by one, and looked at Xiao Yalong with a smile on his face, "Old man, today is the New Year, our family will also drink some wine and be lively." ”
Hearing Lin Zhilan say that he was a family, for some reason, Xiao Yalong felt particularly harsh, he had always maintained a neutral relationship with Lin Zhilan, and he was very disgusted with Lin Zhilan because of this sentence.
Tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve, obviously did not gather, obviously there was one less person, she even said that the family, if it were not for her own lonely old man still has some use value for their mothers, I am afraid that the family from her mouth tonight only includes their mothers.
Lin Zhilan looked at Xiao Yalong's expressionless face, and suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she gave Xiao Jingyan a look as if asking for help.
"Grandpa, I've been to my brother's apartment, he's not here, and his phone is still with you, so I haven't contacted him." As soon as he came into contact with Lin Zhilan's eyes asking for help, Xiao Jingyan put the wine on the table, pulled out the chair next to Xiao Yalong and sat down, looking at his grandfather's still unsightly face, he deliberately added some fuel and vinegar and said, "My brother may have gone to Meng Xixi's hometown." ”
Looking at Xiao Yalong's gradually turning yin, Xiao Jingyan hurriedly added, "But this is just my guess." ”
Xiao Yalong never raised his eyes to look at Xiao Jingyan, who was sitting beside him, and first picked up the chopsticks and said three words coldly, "Let's eat." ”
"Hey." Xiao Jingyan agreed, and glanced at Lin Zhilan, who was still standing there stupidly.
Lin Zhilan understood that the old man was in a displeased mood tonight, and he shouldn't be able to drink the wine, so he put away the cup on the table and put it aside, took the bowl on the side, and filled Xiao Yalong with a bowl of soup and put it in front of Xiao Yalong.
Although Xiao Yalong was unhappy, tonight was Chinese New Year's Eve after all, and the reunion dinner still had to be eaten.
Compared with other family reunion dinners, the entire Xiao Mansion is lifeless, lacking liveliness and human touch.
