Fan Yan couldn't help it, and found Yang Liu to discuss: "Cao Ke can have today, thanks to the help of all of you, this New Year's holiday, he received no less gifts than Lin Yu's sister and brother, so I discussed it with Cao Yong, and took this happy opportunity to invite everyone to have a meal, do you think it can be done?" ”

Yang Liu thought for a while before saying: "Otherwise, let's have dinner together, one is that the two children are eighteen years old, and the other is that they have been admitted to such a good school, so we should celebrate." ”

Fan Yan originally wanted to treat herself, but Yang Liu's idea was not bad, so she agreed.

Fan Yan didn't have to worry about the rest of the matter, Lin Zhiyu and Cao Yong went to the hotel they contacted, and the two men were happy and booked the most luxurious hotel in Kyoto for a banquet.

Although it was a family banquet, there were many friends who came.

Chenxi only came to Du Shuang, but helped Wu Qian bring two big red envelopes.

Liu Haiyang's family is not only Liu Haiyang, but even Director Liu and Liu Haiyang's grandparents are here, which can be regarded as an official meeting between the two families, and Yang Liu, as the master, can naturally be regarded as Chen Yan's mother's family.

Lin Zhiyu didn't dare to slack off, welcomed people into the small living room, asked people to make tea, and sat on the side to talk.

Liu Haiyang's grandfather and grandmother had a good impression of Lin Zhiyu and his wife, and they were even happier when they saw that the two were young but very polite and spoke very properly. pulled Lin Zhiyu and talked for a while.

At this moment, Cao Yong hurriedly came in, first nodded politely to the two old men, and then said to Lin Zhiyu: "Old man Guo and editor-in-chief Guo are here." ”

Without waiting for Lin Zhiyu to say more, Liu Haiyang's grandfather said: "You go and get busy, don't worry about us." ”

Liu Haiyang also said on the side that he didn't care about here, he was here with his grandmother.

Chen Yan came in from outside and said to Lin Zhiyu, who was just about to go out: "Brother Lin, go out quickly, I'll just come here." ”

Lin Zhiyu nodded and went out.

Liu Han said with a smile: "These two people see that even if they have a foothold in Kyoto, when I first saw Yang Liu, she was still buying bags at a roadside stall, and I have a fate with her." ”

Liu Haiyang's grandmother saw that Chen Yan was busy coming and going, and hurriedly pulled her to sit down and drink water to rest, and Liu Haiyang, who looked at her distressedly, was jealous, and said that her grandmother's partiality hurt Chen Yan even more.

The old man Guo outside had already walked in under the greeting of Yang Liu, and when he saw Lin Zhiyu coming over in a hurry, he knew that he was busy, and he didn't blame him.

Lin Zhiyu hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, and greeted a few acquaintances who came with Old Man Guo, and led them to another small reception room to sit and rest.

Yang Liu continued to go to the door again.

In addition to Cao Ke and Lin Yu at the door, there was also Lin Bo standing aside.

Li Qing is responsible for taking care of the guests in the hall, and she is very handy in dealing with it, so Huang Jiaojiao, who came with her, sat in the corner and looked at Li Qing quietly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The guests are almost there, Lin Zhiyu has a lot of guests, in addition to people who are better at work, there are also some literary friends, such as several professors of Beijing University, who have been in contact with Lin Zhiyu for so many years.

Most of the guests who came knew the relationship between Cao Ke and the Lin family, and the gifts they gave were not favoritism, they were all double.

Yang Liu looked at the time and let the three children in, and she and Fan Yan cleaned up and went in.

As soon as the children entered, someone came outside the door again.

Fan Yan's smile suddenly froze, and he stared at the other party and roared with anger: "What are you doing here?" ”

The person who came was Cao Xiangzhong, and the person holding his arm was a woman in her twenties, painted with red lips, wearing a red dress, although it looked festive, but it was uncomfortable to look at.

Yang Liu frowned, walked over and asked, "Cao Xiangzhong, what do you mean by this?" ”

Cao Xiangzhong's white short-sleeved shirt with a red tie, how ugly he looked, but he didn't know where the confidence came from, he raised his voice and said: "My son was admitted to college, I am his son, shouldn't I come?" ”

The sound here alarmed the people inside, Lin Zhiyu walked out quickly, and Cao Yong, who came out later, saw that his father had come with a woman, and his face suddenly became angry.

"Dad, what are you going to do? Today is a great day, don't make me angry. ”

"Look, this is my son, see what the they've been taught to be? There is no politeness and filial piety to him. Hmph, I'm going to go in today, I see why you're stopping me? ”

"What's the matter, someone is making trouble?" A mellow man's voice behind him remembered, but the invisible majesty overshadowed all the noise.

Everyone looked over together, and saw Han Lefeng, who was dressed in military uniform, walking over, carrying two boxes of gift boxes in his hand.

After ten years of prison life, Cao Xiangzhong has an inexplicable fear of uniforms, even if this is not a police uniform, it still makes Cao Xiangzhong, who was arrogant just now, suddenly cowardly, take a step back, and look away from Han Lefeng.

Lin Zhiyu went over to greet Han Lefeng and whispered: "Cao Ke's father is divorced from Cao Ke's mother, and he suddenly came over today to attend the banquet. ”

Han Lefeng naturally recognized Cao Ke, so he brought two gifts today, one for Lin Zhiyu and one for Cao Yong.

Then he looked at Cao Xiangzhong, and said in a flat voice: "You are Cao Ke's father, so naturally you should go in and have a glass of wine, but in what capacity does this woman go in?" ”

The woman shrank and pulled Cao Xiangzhong's arm, Cao Xiangzhong had no choice but to raise his head and said, "This is my new daughter-in-law, Cao Ke's stepmother, of course you can go in." ”

Stepmother?

How long has it been since Cao Xiangzhong got married?

And looking at Cao Yong's surprised look, it was obvious that Cao Yong didn't know either.

Cao Yong asked, "Dad, are you married?" ”

"After applying for a certificate, your aunt is pregnant with my child, I am a man, of course I am responsible." Cao Xiangzhong said this, glanced at the woman's lower abdomen, and everyone's eyes looked at it, and the woman shyly blocked it with her hand, but her face was extremely proud.

Fan Yan took a deep breath: "Since you're here, let's go in and have a meal, no matter what, you have been in prison for Cao Ke for ten years, you should eat this meal." But if you dare to make trouble, I won't give you a little face. ”

On a day like today, there is still a waiting for the master inside, and it is not good to make trouble here, but because of Fan Yan's relationship, he doesn't dare to say it clearly, everyone can understand Fan Yan's behavior, and they are all relieved.

Cao Xiangzhong was arranged in the corner, Cao Yong personally took them to sit down, then poured a glass of wine and put it in front of Cao Xiangzhong, bent down to stare into Cao Xiangzhong's eyes, and said word by word: "Dad, there are a lot of distinguished guests of the Lin family today, and they are also the contacts of my brother and me in the future, if you dare to do anything inappropriate, I will make you regret coming here today, don't believe it, you try." ”

The last three words were full of threats, and even the so-called stepmother beside him moved the stool, wanting to leave Cao Yong farther away.

Cao Yong, who has been in the mix for many years, launched a ruthless attack, Cao Xiangzhong was also afraid, and glared at his son: "My own son's good life, what am I making trouble?" ”

"It's good to know, you stop, we are still father and son, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you and you."

The last glance fell on the woman's face, moved down a few more points, swept over the flat lower abdomen, and then turned away, and went to greet the guests again.
