Chapter 262 Family Banquet
“Ruirui said they went to No. 4 Middle School in the afternoon and will come over immediately.”
Ziwei Pavilion.
It is not very high-end,
but it is considered a good restaurant for ordinary families.
If a dozen people eat, it will cost about a few thousand.
In the private room on the second floor.
There were five or six people sitting, all middle-aged, and Xue Mingqin was also there.
"Where are Yali and the others?"
"She and Xiaoliu are shopping. I sent them a message and they are on their way over."
The person who answered was a middle-aged woman wearing a gold necklace around her neck. She was Li Shurui's aunt. Although she was no longer young, she still lived a relatively refined life. She had powdered her face, but she couldn't hide her smile when she spoke. Crow's feet at the corners of the eyes.
“Sister, did Ruirui really take her boyfriend to pay homage to her brother-in-law?”
Everyone else looked at Xue Mingqin in unison.
For young people, it is normal to fall in love, but bringing it back and taking it to your father’s cemetery has a different meaning.
"Yes."
Xue Mingqin nodded, "Xiao Jiang helped a lot when Zhe Ming was hospitalized in Donghai, but it was a pity that Zhe Ming was in a coma when he went there. "
"Sister, I know that kid is pretty good, but Ruirui is... too hasty?"
Li Shurui's aunt Zou Luo? Xia euphemistically said: "After all, they are still studying now. There are too many uncertainties. Ruirui can't just be grateful to others..."
"Stop saying a few words. Ruirui is already an adult. What to choose?" Doesn’t she know what kind of boyfriend he is?”
The person who spoke out was Li Shurui’s uncle.
"I'm not afraid that Ruirui will confuse gratitude with liking."
Zou Luoxia replied dissatisfiedly to her husband.
"Ruirui is not out of gratitude, she is sincere when she is with Xiaojiang."
Xue Mingqin smiled.
Everyone in the box fell silent.
Everyone here is from the Xue family. Since the death of her brother-in-law, it seems that my sister has not smiled for a long time.
“Sister-in-law, you have met Yali’s boyfriend, how do you feel?”
Li Shurui’s aunt Xue Shuzhi changed the subject. She works in administrative work in a state-owned enterprise and is always Qi She has short shoulder-length hair and a very intellectual temperament. The same goes for her husband, who is very bookish and a colleague of a company, but he is almost forty years old now and has not had children yet.
"I think it's pretty good and very polite. He brought a lot of gifts to your brother and me. They are all imported from abroad and cannot be bought in China."
Mentioning his own "accurate" Son-in-law," Zou Luoxia was overjoyed.
Xue Shuzhi and her husband looked at each other, feeling helpless.
This sister-in-law has one shortcoming that cannot be corrected. She always admires foreign things in her heart. Decades have passed, and this concept has not changed at all.
Li Shurui’s uncle Xue Gui seemed to have a disagreement with his wife and drank some water.
"Lishu understands etiquette quite well, but it's a bit exaggerated."
"Exaggerated for what? I think you have never seen the world. He works on Wall Street. What are you talking about? If you don’t understand, you think it’s exaggerated.”
Zou Luoxia immediately scolded her husband, like a hen protecting her calf.
Xue Gui glared at her, didn't argue with her, and started smoking silently.
"You bought this cigarette from Xiaoliu. The white-eyed wolf is talking about people like you!"
Anyway, everyone has become accustomed to this situation and didn't say anything.
About twenty minutes later, the box door was pushed open.
The Xue family in the box immediately looked around.
"Lily, Xiaoliu."
Zou Luoxia quickly stood up with a smile.
"Dad, Mom, eldest aunt, little aunt..."
The girl who walked in had a similar temperament to Xue Shuzhi, except that her hair was shorter, only reaching her earlobes, but her facial features were very similar. logo. Girls with this kind of appearance generally have stronger personalities.
Obviously, this is Li Shurui’s cousin Xue Yali.
There was also a man who came in with her. He was about 25 or 26 years old. He looked like he belonged to a big-name brand in casual clothes. He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses without prescription. He was elegant and elegant. He followed Xue Yali. Called everyone in the box one by one.
Then he began to distribute the shopping bags in his hands.
"Lily, then my sister-in-law won't be polite to you."
No one was left behind, Xue Yali prepared gifts for all the elders.
Zou Luoxia smiled brightly and asked her daughter and prospective son-in-law to sit down.
"Auntie, where is my sister?"
Xue Yali asked.
She placed the shopping bag that she had not sent out next to the chair. It was obviously for Li Shurui.
“She went to No. 4 Middle School, she should be arriving soon.”
“I haven’t seen my sister for more than a year.”
“Who asked you to I didn’t come back for the New Year last year.”
Zou Luoxia seemed to be blaming her, but the look she looked at her daughter was full of endearment.
Same.
Her daughter is so outstanding that she has been admitted to a foreign university, fulfilled her long-held dream, and found a boyfriend who works on Wall Street, giving her face in front of relatives and friends. How can she not be happy?
"Have you gone to see your uncle?"
Compared to his wife, Xue Gui's attitude is visibly harsher.
Xue Yali just didn't come back for the New Year last year. Li Shurui's father, her eldest uncle, passed away, and she also didn't return to China.
Xue Gui has always been brooding about this, but he is a rake and has a wife to protect him. Even if he wants to educate his daughter, he is powerless.
"Go tomorrow."
Xue Yali whispered.
"Tomorrow? Have you forgotten how kind your uncle was to you when you were a child? When he buys delicious food for your sister, he will always bring you a piece. If he dies and you have to take exams and can't come back, forget it. , since you are back today, don’t you have time to give him a bouquet of flowers?”
Xue Gui finally couldn’t hold it in any longer.
Not to mention Xue Yali, even the proud Wall Street guy sitting next to his girlfriend couldn't help but adjust his glasses, obviously a little embarrassed.
After all, he and Xue Yali were together in the afternoon.
Although the other party seemed to be just educating his daughter, he was actually blaming him.
"What are you yelling at? It's rare for my daughter to come back..."
Zou Luoxia started to protect her shortcomings again.
Although I do feel that what my niece did was a bit inappropriate, at this time, Xue Shuzhi must help to ease the atmosphere.
"Brother, didn't Lily say that she will go tomorrow, there is no need to be so angry."
"Yes, it's just a trivial matter, why are you so angry."
< br>Xue Mingqin glared at his younger brother and smiled softly at Xue Yali.
"Lily, ignore your dad, you can go anytime. Your eldest uncle likes you so much, he will definitely not care about this."
Xue Yali lowered her eyelids and remained silent.
"Look at you!"
Zou Luoxia hit her husband.
"What did I say wrong? If you don't know the four words of loyalty, trust, filial piety and brotherhood, what's the use of reading more books?"
Xue Gui's face was dark.
"Uncle, I heard your voice outside. What made you so angry?"
The door of the box was pushed open again.
