Chapter 186: "Not a Simple Dinner Party (19)"
Father Lin looked at Xu Chenrui's sincere appearance and was very pleased.
"However, what you just said was for a person, you didn't say the name, that person should be the person I thought."
Father Lin said to Xu Chenrui.
"Uncle, you know what I'm thinking."
"That's good, but I just saw that there seems to be a girl who is very close to you, and is still holding your arm, are you?"
Hearing Father Lin say this, Xu Chenrui immediately understood that he was talking about Rebecca just now.
So, Xu Chenrui immediately explained: "Uncle, you misunderstood, Rebecca and I are just ordinary friends, please believe me." ”
"Okay, don't worry, I'm just asking casually, don't let me down."
Father Lin glanced at Xu Chenrui meaningfully and said.
"Uncle, rest assured, I will not forget my promise to you."
"That's good."
Father Lin stepped forward and patted Xu Chenrui on the shoulder, and then left with Mother Lin.
Xu Chenrui looked at Father Lin's back, his brows furrowed slightly, and he remembered the conversation he had at the table with Father Lin this morning.
……
"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to come to give our Xiaozi a dress in person, it's really hard for you."
While Father Lin was sitting at the dining table, he began to pick up the dishes and eat them casually.
"Uncle, there, Xiao Zi is my female companion, and I am also well versed in hospitality and do a good job as a host, so it should be, besides, Xiao Zi is my female companion, so I naturally want to invite me personally."
Xu Chenrui replied with a smile.
"Xiao Zi?"
Hearing that Xu Chenrui actually called his daughter's nickname directly, he was a little surprised.
The chopsticks that were holding the dishes also paused, then put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to Xu Chenrui: "Is Mr. Xu very familiar with the little girl?" ”
"I've known each other before, so I'm a friend."
"Friends? How did you meet? Can you tell me about my old father, my daughter doesn't tell me about her interactions outside, it's really not easy to understand my daughter. ”
Father Lin looked at Xu Chenrui and asked.
"Ah, okay."
After all, he is an elder, no matter how chic Xu Chenrui is in front of outsiders, he always looks like he has a chance to win, but now in the face of elders, he still looks well-behaved.
"Sit down, don't be so restrained."
"Thank you, uncle."
As he spoke, Xu Chenrui sat down next to Father Lin and leaned against the table.
Xu Chenrui began to tell Father Lin about the encounter between himself and Lin Zi.
Father Lin looked at Xu Chenrui while listening, smiled and said: "It turns out that you have really met for a long time, at the previous birthday party, the atmosphere between you and Xiaozi was weird, so it is so, does she often bully you, don't you care, blame me, I usually spoil her." ”
"No, Ling Yan is very, very cute."
"Really?"
"Well, although she is sometimes more childish, but she is a very understanding girl, and she is also very soft-hearted, she is very good at listening to others, don't look at her usual carelessness, she can understand the mood of others, and she is also very good at comforting and encouraging others, sometimes when I see her smile, I will feel that the original gray world suddenly brightens up, so I often can't help but tease her, she is sometimes very docile, sometimes like a kitten with her tail stepped on, pretending to be angry."
Xu Chenrui thought of Lin Zi's sometimes bulging appearance, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose.
"Do you like us, Xiaozi?"
Father Lin looked at Xu Chenrui's appearance and couldn't help asking.
Xu Chenrui reacted at this time, and he was a little out of shape just now.
"I ......"
"Just tell me if you like it or not."
Xu Chenrui nodded and said, "I like her, uncle." ”
"Very honest, I appreciate your attitude, young people should take the initiative to treat the people they like, instead of grinding and chirping, and wait until one day when someone snatches them, they will regret it."
Seeing Father Lin's attitude, he shouldn't know that Lin Zi was already with Yi Zhen, wouldn't these words encourage him to chase after him?
Xu Chenrui pondered in his heart whether to tell the other party or not.
"Chen Rui, can I call you that?"
"Of course, uncle."
"Xiao Zi is my only daughter, I don't allow anyone to hurt her, I hope you can understand my heart as a father. In fact, after seeing you at the birthday party at that time, I had a pretty good impression of you, polite, talented, and very decent. I'm with you, and it's straight to the point, that time your father and I mentioned the marriage of the two families, I didn't express my attitude at the time, I think that when it comes to my daughter's generation, if the marriage still needs to be controlled by the elders, is it a bit too strong, so the principle I pursue is to focus on my daughter's liking, of course, you also need to consider your opinion. But just now I can see from your words that you still have a lot of feelings for us Xiaozi, and after looking at it, you will be really good to him, so whether you can win her heart or not depends on yourself. ”
"Uncle, don't worry, so you agree?"
Xu Chenrui was a little overjoyed.
Originally, he thought that Uncle Lin, such an unsmiling person, would definitely obstruct it in every possible way, but he didn't expect to encourage himself to pursue it. This made Xu Chenrui a little flattered all of a sudden.
"But there are two things that you need to tell me."
"What's the matter? Uncle, I must know everything, and I must have said everything. ”
Looking at Xu Chenrui's sincere expression, Father Lin nodded with relief.
"The first thing, I rarely pay attention to the entertainment industry, but I often see your gossip news on the news, but I have always not believed much in these groundless gossip news, plus after seeing you that time, I appreciate your conduct very much, so, personally, I believe that you are not such a person with many fancy intestines, however, I still hope that you can explain to me in person, what is the previous gossip lace news?"
Father Lin looked at Xu Chenrui and asked.
"Uncle, I can explain, sometimes what I see may not be true, forgive me for some personal reasons that I can't explain all, but I can assure you that I have never violated my heart, and some of them are just the needs of work, so please believe me, uncle. I assure you that I won't be making headlines of these gossip news again. ”
Xu Chenrui looked at Father Lin with a serious face and said.
"Needless to say, it's not so serious, it's not yet at the stage of guarantee, you just need to remember what you're saying now, after all, if you're really irresponsible and just have fun, I can't trust my daughter to you. You can understand that. ”
"Uncle, I understand, what I just said is true."
"That's good, the second question is, you also know that some unpleasant things happened to my daughter some time ago, for this matter, I, as a father, am actually very distressed and self-blamed, I feel that I did not protect my daughter, so I decided not to let my daughter contact anyone in the entertainment industry, after all, you are also a person in the entertainment industry, and you also know how chaotic this circle is. However, if you want to pursue my daughter now, your identity will inevitably have a certain impact on my daughter, and I will not let her be hurt a second time, so you ......"
"Uncle, don't worry, I also said earlier that because of my current career and the problems in this circle, no matter what, it will affect the people around me, so I decided to officially announce my retirement from the entertainment industry at today's celebration banquet, if I quit, I can choose to protect the people I want to protect, I will not hesitate to choose to quit."
Xu Chenrui said with a serious face.
"Really? Are you willing to quit? ”
"Yes, uncle."
"I don't mean to force you, and if you really don't want to quit, that's fine."
"Uncle, don't be burdened, I really want to quit voluntarily."
Xu Chenrui smiled at Father Lin and said.
"Won't you feel sorry? Just got the big prize and recognition, and you're going to quit? ”
"Maybe, but I chose to enter this circle at the beginning, not to win awards, for so many years, I have seen the ups and downs of the entertainment industry, and I have long been tired of it, besides, when the incident happened at that time, I had already secretly made up my mind that I would never let the people around me be hurt, maybe in the eyes of outsiders, the circle of the entertainment industry is glamorous, and many people want to come in, but for me, it is not so attractive, so I am willing to quit the entertainment industry."
"Then after you quit, will you go back to your father's company?"
"My father has mentioned to me that I haven't thought about it yet, maybe I should start over on my own, and it gives me a sense of accomplishment and joy to start from scratch rather than enjoying the fruits I have achieved."
Hearing Xu Chenrui's words, Father Lin nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, I really didn't misunderstand you, so today, it depends on your performance." ”
"Uncle, I won't let you down."
……
Father Lin took Mother Lin to the plate, and Mother Lin, who had been looking mysterious and didn't say anything since the morning, Mother Lin, who had long been resentful, finally couldn't help it at this moment, and directly stopped Father Lin's hand to pick up the vegetables, and asked with a serious face: "Old Lin, tell me what did you and that Xu Chenrui say in the morning?" Moreover, when he announced his retirement from the entertainment industry today, you didn't mean to be surprised at all, to be honest, did you already know? ”
"Madam, you dissipate your anger, okay, I'll tell you all now."
Father Lin looked at Mother Lin with a smile and told Mother Lin all the conversations with Xu Chenrui in the morning.
After Mother Lin listened to Father Lin's story, the expression on her face changed slightly, "Do you really want to match Xiaozi and that Xu Chenrui together?" ”
"Everyone has quit the entertainment industry for our daughter, can't you see such a great sincerity? So, naturally, I agreed, and besides, I still believe in his character. ”
"Lao Lin, it's actually ......"
Mother Lin hesitated for a while, and wanted to tell him that Lin Zi already had a boyfriend, but when Father Lin saw Xu Jinheng walking towards him, he immediately stepped forward with a wine glass.
Mother Lin's words had to be held back again. Take a hundred plating, and read the latest chapter of "The Centripetal Direction of the Star: The Way Home, Claw Bookstore" for the first time.
