Chapter 596: Birthday Banquet (5)
Xu Bangguo and the others were drinking and chatting happily, and the table next door was also very lively, Xu Rui and his brother-in-law Hu Zhi accompanied the directors to drink.
In contrast, He Juan and the others were drinking at the table alone, so they were naturally much quieter.
Lin Xiaohuan kept his head down and ate silently, but his ears were carefully paying attention to the conversation of the other two tables.
Many elders are praising Xu Rui in various ways.
Xu Lin's mother Li Fang also heard it, and she was very unhappy, but she didn't show it on her face at all.
However, as a daughter, Xu Lin knew her very well, and looked at her quietly and smiled: "Mom, try this soup, it's very fresh." ”
As he spoke, he filled a small half bowl for her.
Li Fang originally wanted to refuse, thinking that it was her daughter's intention, so she took a sip casually and said, "Well, it tastes good." ”
In fact, she didn't feel it at all, and when she had something on her mind, any food was tasteless in her mouth.
Lin Xiaohuan heard her somewhat reluctant tone, quietly raised her eyes and glanced at it, and found that she was observing the situation on Xu Rui's side, and suddenly guessed something.
Retracting his gaze, he continued to eat in silence with his head down.
Xu Rui had another drink with a director, and as soon as he sat down to eat a bite of food, his eyes looked at Lin Xiaohuan uncontrollably.
His glance happened to be noticed by Li Fang, who was observing him.
Noticing the affection in Xu Rui's eyes, she was a little surprised, and her eyes were dyed with a smile.
"Xiao Huan, although you are not welcome to eat, come, try this steamed sea bass, the fish is very delicious." Li Fang turned her attention to Lin Xiaohuan.
Lin Xiaohuan didn't have time to be surprised, so she could only refuse immediately: "Auntie, thank you, I don't eat fish." ”
After refusing, she scolded this person for what he wanted to do?
They didn't know each other at all, and they didn't see her interest in them when they met before, so why did they suddenly become enthusiastic?
As the saying goes, if you have nothing to do, you are a thief!
Lin Xiaohuan immediately became vigilant.
Zhang Feng also felt strange, and looked at Li Fang suspiciously.
Li Fang didn't expect Lin Xiaohuan to refuse, and the chopsticks in his hand were holding a piece of fish meat high, and the situation was really embarrassing.
He Juan, who was sitting next to Lin Xiaohuan, flashed her eyes a few times, then stretched out the bowl with a smile, "That's cheap for me, thank you, sister-in-law." ”
Either way, she couldn't let the atmosphere be awkward.
"You're welcome, this fish tastes really good, I remember that you usually like to eat fish......" Li Fang was not stupid, and of course she went down the steps when she saw her round.
But there was some blame for Lin Xiaohuan in his heart.
This girl is really rude, the elders are kind enough to give her vegetables, how can she refuse.
But after thinking about it, too, although she is the child of the Zhou family and the Lin family, she has been adrift, who knows what kind of family she is raising in.
Even if she got it back last year, no one taught her.
After all, Zhou Huanhuan has been stupid before, and it was just a few months ago.
Thinking about it like this, she unexpectedly felt a trace of compassion for Lin Xiaohuan.
At the same time, there is still a little pride in my heart, Xu Rui, this kid is really out of sight this time, and he actually likes such a girl.
Lin Xiaohuan didn't know that she had made up so much in her brain, otherwise she would have been scolded to death.
However, He Juan understands this sister-in-law.
I usually love face, but today I was decisively rejected by a girl, and I will definitely feel uncomfortable.
didn't want Xiao Huan to be misunderstood, He Juan opened her mouth to explain: "This girl really doesn't like to eat fish, the last time she went to my side, she couldn't drink a single bite of the stewed fish soup." ”
As she spoke, she sandwiched another piece of lotus root to Xiao Huan, "This is light." ”
"Thank you, Auntie." Lin Xiaohuan immediately took it with a smile.
"Huh...... This is also normal, everyone's tastes are different. Xu Lin also spoke out.
She didn't think there was anything in her heart, people didn't like to eat that dish.
However, Li Fang listened to He Juan's previous words, and she was happy in her heart.
Lin Xiaohuan has been to Lao Xiao's side in private, so there may really be something between her and Xu Rui, and when I think of the agreement more than 20 years ago, there is a chance that there will be nine times out of ten.
"Brother and sister, you still know Xiao Huan's taste." She smiled and said: "By the way, I remember that you used to order a baby kiss with Zhou Huanhuan, isn't that Xiao Huan and Xiao Rui?" ”
Li Fang's heart was excited, but her face tried to be calm.
However, her voice was not loud but not small, and the people at Xu Rui's table next door could hear it.
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you in an instant, and they were all a little curious about this.
Some, however, were surprised.
Fan Liangsheng immediately said nervously: "Xiaorui, did you order a doll and kiss it?" ”
When he asked, the expressions on the faces of everyone sitting were a little wonderful, it turned out that Lao Fan Zhong wanted Xu Rui's child to be true.
It's just that the Xu family doesn't seem to mean this.
In an instant, everyone was interested, and there was a feeling of eating melons.
Because of Fan Liangsheng's questioning, the leaders at the main table also heard it.
"Lao Xu, your family Xu Rui is already engaged? No wonder he's so big, you're not in a hurry, hehe......" Minister Guo joked.
Zhang Lai also smiled and said, "I'm still thinking about introducing him." ”
Some people also coaxed, "I just said why did you bring this girl here, it turns out that there is such a relationship?" Ha ha...... What's the matter, do you want to announce the happy event on your birthday today? ”
Hearing that the misunderstanding was getting bigger and bigger, Song Liang was a little anxious.
Also anxious was Lin Xiaohuan, who was just about to get up when she was stopped by He Juan.
"Sister-in-law, you misunderstood, although Lele and I had the intention of getting married, but because of an accident later, this marriage was not finalized." He Juan opened her mouth to explain.
Everyone listened to her words and was stunned again.
originally thought that Lin Xiaohuan came over because of her relationship with Xu Rui, but now He Juan directly and publicly vetoed it.
Everyone couldn't help but wonder if there was something hidden in this?
But in the final analysis, this is also a family matter of the Xu family, so they naturally don't want to ask more.
"Leaders, my mother and Xiao Huan's mother are good sisters, the baby kiss is just a joke they used to make, Xiao Huan is now married, and I have always regarded her as a sister, don't misunderstand." Xu Rui also spoke up.
After speaking, he looked at Li Fang with heavy eyes.
He knew that the eldest aunt didn't like him, but he shouldn't be involved with Xiao Huan no matter what.
It shouldn't be on an occasion like today.
Originally, everyone didn't want to pay attention to it, but the mother and son of the Xu family spoke one after another, and they all vetoed this matter in unison.
Minister Guo glanced at Xu Bangguo, and then smiled and played a round: "Hehe, it turned out to be a misunderstanding, I originally wanted to say congratulations to this girl, how can I find an object like Xiaorui." ”
"Yes, but having such an excellent brother is also enviable."
As soon as the minister spoke, the leaders of those second-level departments naturally echoed.
"Thank you, Brother Xu Rui is very good, but in my heart my husband is also excellent." Lin Xiaohuan finally spoke up, and his tone was very serious.
No one expected her to praise her husband so bluntly, and no one answered for a while.
Xu Rui felt a little bitter in his heart, but he also knew that she was defending Su Luo, so he followed and spoke: "Yes, Su Luo is the most admired by soldiers of the same age." ”
The leaders at the main table all had doubts in their eyes when they heard Su Luo's name.
It's a familiar name.
