Qiao Wen sat next to Luo Weiyi, while Xie Zhengyu was arranged by Wu Qingwan's side.

She could feel Old Man Xie's happiness, and she could also feel Old Man Xie's love for Wu Qingwan.

"Qingwan seems to have lost weight, it seems that your family's food is not very good during the Chinese New Year." Old Man Xie said jokingly, and did not forget to pick up vegetables for Wu Qingwan.

"Grandpa Xie, no. The meals at home were good, but, just thinking about getting engaged, so thinking about losing weight. Wu Qingwan's face turned a little red as she said that.

Seeing this, Old Man Xie laughed heartily: "Hahaha, this kid is already very thin, don't lose it anymore." ”

Father Xie, Mother Xie and the Wu family looked at the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, and they all laughed.

"You, just your grandfather Xie spoils you." Li Bixia looked at her daughter and said angrily.

Qiao Wen looked at this happy family and felt a chill, as if only he was out of place.

Xie Zhengyu looked at Qiao Wen, who looked down and didn't know how to eat, only to feel a faint pain in his heart.

"Warm and warm, drink soup."

He couldn't resist holding a bowl of Chauvin's favorite chicken soup and handed it to her.

"Thank you." Qiao Wen took the soup and put it aside with a blank face, and continued to eat the rice in the bowl.

And Xie Zhengyu's move made everyone notice Qiao Wen.

"Wen Wen, are you in a bad mood? How do you eat so little? Luo Weiyi picked up a piece of fish and put it in her bowl.

Qiao Wen barely showed a smile: "No, there are too many classes today and I'm just a little tired." ”

"Qiao girl, when you are tired, eat more fish and meat to make up for it, don't burn your body." Grandpa Xie also cast a concerned gaze.

"Grandpa, Wen Wen is not a hypocritical person, she will adjust herself." Wu Qingwan looked at Qiao Wen with a sneer.

Qiao Wen did not speak, and continued to eat with his head down.

And Grandpa Xie looked at Wu Qingwan and smiled: "I have to say something today." ”

Hearing Old Man Xie's words, everyone consciously put down the chopsticks in their hands.

"I'm going to schedule the engagement banquet for Zhengyu and Qingwan on April 16."

As soon as Old Man Xie's words came out, Qiao Wen and Xie Zhengyu looked at him at the same time.

"Grandpa......"

"Wait, I'm not done yet."

Xie Zhengyu's words were blocked by Old Man Xie: "It is our responsibility as parents that the marriage of the two children has dragged on for so long, and my health has not been as good as before over the years, and I have been recuperating in Haicheng." Now that they're back, they feel like it's time to put their wedding date on the agenda. ”

"yes, yes. Both children are so old, they really should do it. Li Bixia couldn't keep her mouth shut, but she didn't expect her husband to make a phone call and ask Mr. Xie to change his itinerary and come back early, so she didn't have to worry about it.

Wu Cheng looked at Xie Zhengyu with a smug expression, as if he was shouting, 'It's still far from fighting with me'.

"Yes, we'll be a family from now on." Luo Weiyi also responded together.

Only Jowen, who was trying to restrain her emotions, for fear that she would shed tears if she was not careful, she clenched her fists tightly, her nails sinking into the flesh, but she didn't seem to feel the pain.

Xie Zhengyu's brows furrowed even tighter, he knew that Qiao Wen was patient. He wanted to stand up and take Qiao Wen away, but he couldn't. For the sake of Chauvin's future, he can't be impulsive.

Just then, Jowen's phone rang.

Qiao Wen seemed to grasp a life-saving straw: "I'll answer the phone." Then she hurried out of the table.

"Hey."

"Sister, where are you?" Lingda's cheerful voice leaped into Qiao Wen's ears.

"At home."

"Have you read the group news?"

Qiao Wen didn't look at his phone all the time, and he didn't know what Ling Da said: "What news? ”

"Professor Chen said that there is a topic that is very urgent, so let's all go back."

"We?"

Ling Da smiled: "Of course I took the initiative to apply to join." ”

"Okay, I got it." It's good to be able to get out of here now, or at least to give myself a breather.

"Where are you?"

"At home, what's wrong?"

Ling Da immediately went downstairs excitedly and asked tentatively, "I'm also at home, I'll pick you up." ”

"Okay."

Ling Da didn't expect Qiao Wen to agree, let alone that she would agree so quickly. For a while, I was even more excited and quickened the pace.

Qiao Wen hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief, she turned and went back to the restaurant.

"Wenwen, is there something wrong?"

"Grandpa, uncle and aunt, the professor called and said that there is a very important subject that I need to go back to now, and I can't continue to eat with you."

As soon as she heard that Qiao Wen was leaving, Wu Qingwan immediately came to her senses: "It's okay Wen Wen, schoolwork is important." ”

"Yes, Wenwen, it's okay, when you come back tomorrow after you're done, our family can eat again." Luo Weiyi thought that Qiao Wen was reluctant to reunite with his family, and said comfortingly.

"Okay."

"I'll send you." Xie Zhengyu immediately stood up.

"No, you don't." Qiao Wen looked at him: "I, my classmate will pick me up in a while." ”

Qiao Wen's voice became lower and lower, and Xie Zhengyu's hand on the chair gradually tightened. He didn't want to sit down, but he didn't take a step away.

At this moment, Chen's mother walked in.

"Excuse me, sir, Miss Qiao's friend is here."

Qiao Wen's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned his head to see Ling Da appear in front of him.

"You..."

Ling Da was not afraid of life at all, and greeted everyone with a grin: "This is Grandpa Xie, right?" Hello grandpa, I'm Lingda. Then he said to the others: "Hello elders, I am Ling Da, and I am Qiao Wen's junior brother. ”

Ling Da's appearance made everyone stunned, and Old Man Xie was the first to react: "Ling Da? That Qiao Wen in the east of the city is a Ling family? ”

"Yes, Grandpa Xie, you know?"

Old Man Xie smiled: "I know, why don't I know, I know your parents, I didn't expect you kid to grow so big." He looked at Qiao Wen again, Qiao Wen's face was a little bad at this time, and the old man Xie thought it was his daughter's shyness and quipped: "I didn't expect to ask us if it was a senior sister and brother, yes, yes, you will take care of each other in the future." ”

"Okay, grandpa."

Qiao Wen was really embarrassed, he didn't dare to look up at Xie Zhengyu, picked up his bag and pulled Ling Da out: "Let's go, let's go, I'm going to be late." ”

"Ah, okay, then Grandpa Xie, uncle and aunt, let's go."

The two left the courtyard under the eyes of the whole family, but Xie Zhengyu's expression was ugly, and he stared closely at Qiao Wen holding Ling Da's hand until the two disappeared from his sight.

"Brother Zhengyu, Brother Zhengyu?" Wu Qingwan saw that Xie Zhengyu was still looking at the position of the porch, so she spoke, and even stretched out her hand to grab the corner of his clothes, wanting him to sit down.

Xie Zhengyu lowered his head and looked at the hand that tugged at the corner of his clothes, and then he raised his eyes to look at the owner of that hand.

Wu Qingwan was frightened by his eyes, and immediately withdrew her hand, and said embarrassedly: "Sit down, the food will be cold in a while." ”

He didn't pay attention to Wu Qingwan, but turned to look at his grandfather: "Grandpa, I'm done, I'll go up first."

With that, he took a step to leave.

"Stop, your Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu haven't finished eating what you are leaving, have you forgotten the table manners?"

Xie Zhengyu clenched his fists and tried to calm his arrogance.

"What Grandpa said is that I still have company affairs to deal with, and if I sit here but keep using my mobile phone to deal with things, I'm afraid it will be even more disrespectful to the guests." He bit the word guest to death, and his eyes drifted to Wu Cheng's body, telling him that even if he was a grandfather, he would not be obedient.

"You ......"

"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, I'll go upstairs first."

Old Man Xie's face immediately couldn't hold back, and his chest rose and fell violently.

Seeing this, Wu Qingwan immediately stepped forward to help: "Grandpa, don't blame Brother Zhengyu, he has always attached great importance to his work, and it is precisely because of this that the Xie family can grow stronger in his hands." ”

"Oh, you know that if you favor him, you will suffer in the future."

"With grandpa in Qingwan, I won't suffer."

Xie Chen picked up the wine glass and said to Wu Cheng: "I salute you, Zhengyu has a bad temper, and I need you to take care of it in the future." ”

Wu Cheng picked up the wine glass with a smile, he wished that Xie Zhengyu was like this, the more he was like this, the more the old man Xie felt that he owed Qingwan, and he would give Qingwan more compensation, why not do it: "It's okay, it's okay, if young people like to have a career, let him go, it's too late for me to be happy with such a son-in-law." ”

The restaurant was bustling again, as if nothing had happened just now, they drank and laughed, and no one cared about the little episode that had just appeared, as if it were as insignificant as a chopstick dropped during the banquet.

Qiao Wen sat in Lingda's car and was silent, Lingda looked at her from time to time, and then simply parked the car on the side of the road.

"What's wrong?" Qiao Wen's eyes were a little hollow.

Ling Da reached out and smoothed her frowning brow: "Sad? ”

Jowen was silent and did not speak.

"What bad things did they say?" He then asked.

"No, let's go, I'm really going to be late."

Ling Da looked at Qiao Wen's appearance and was really uncomfortable, he took out his mobile phone: "Professor Chen, I'm Ling Da, Qiao Wen is sick and may not be able to get through tonight, I'll accompany her in the hospital." ”

Qiao Wen's eyes widened and he listened to Ling Dahu's words, trying to snatch the phone but his strength was weak.

"Okay, thank you, Professor Chen."

Lingda hung up the phone and threw the phone to Qiao Wen: "Here you go." ”

"What are you crazy about?"

Ling Da sneered, pulled down the mirror in the car, and then said to Qiao Wen: "Look at the way you look now, what can you do when you go?" ”

Qiao Wen looked at himself in the mirror, and he was a little haggard and a little depressed. She reached out and closed the mirror, then looked out the window.

"Why should you wronged yourself?"

Qiao Wen still didn't speak, she just looked out the window, as quiet as if Ling Da was the only one in the car.

Lingda couldn't help but drag Qiao Wen over and let her face him.

However, Qiao Wen, who turned around, was in tears, she was crying.

She was crying silently.

For a while, Ling Da's words that were originally blocked in his throat were swallowed back.

He hurriedly pulled out a tissue to help Qiao Wen wipe away his tears.

"Don't bear it, you can cry out loud."

Qiao Wen shook his head, took the tissue, and wiped away his tears.

"What do I have to cry about, what do I cry about, it's no big deal." There were tears in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall again.

"Lingda, thank you."

"Qiao Wen, give up on him, you and him will destroy yourself in the end."

Qiao Wen looked at Ling Da in a daze, and suddenly she smiled: "No, I would have ruined it a long time ago." ”
