Although it was the first dinner that the Xia family invited, in the end, it was the Song family who booked a ⅥP box in the hotel of their own property.

When they entered the box, the Song family of four was already waiting inside. The old man Song was very tough. When he saw the old lady Xia, he greeted him with a laugh. Father Song brought his mother up to greet him, and hugged the old lady Xia for a while.

Xia Lin walked in behind Xia Liang, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he met Song Yan's expectant gaze.

When the four eyes met, Xia Lin turned his eyes away expressionlessly, Song Yan opened his mouth, he hesitated, but finally maintained his demeanor, and turned to Mrs. Xia and Father Xia and bowed to say hello.

Old Madam Xia held Song Yan's hand and looked at him from head to toe with a smile, making Song Yan a little horrified. I just heard the old lady say, "I haven't seen him for a few years, and the Song family has grown so big. Look at this neat suit, he is getting more and more handsome."

Song Yan glanced at Xia Lin incredulously, and said modestly, "Grandma has won the prize."

Xia Lin was turning his head and saying something to Zhou Shuo. Hearing this, he frowned and gave him a warning glance. Song Yan used to be called "Grandma Xia" when she was a child, but now she changed her name to "Grandma", Xia Lin could naturally guess what Song Yan meant.

The two families took their seats at the table one after another, and immediately a waiter came in to serve dishes.

Father Xia said with a smile: "We should have asked for this meal, but now we have to spend money on you. I'm really sorry."

Old Xia, what you said is out of the question. Father Song said, "There are still many opportunities for us to cooperate in the future. The two families have to be closer. What else is there to divide between you and me." "

Mother Song said, "We Song Yan said that Xia Lin is his best friend, and the Xia family's business is his business. This time, Song Yan heard that there was something wrong with the Xia family's capital chain abroad. , I mentioned it to his dad, and his dad agreed without saying a word."

Mother Song said this with 12 points of pride on her face, implying that Song Yan's position in the Song Group has already played a pivotal role.

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Xia was naturally full of praise for Song Yan, and Father Xia couldn't help but glance at Song Yangao and said with a smile: "It seems that in the future to cooperate with your Song family, it is not to talk to Lao Song, but to find This little Mr. Song has talked, come here, Song Yan, Uncle Xia toasts you."

Song Yan did not dare to be slighted in the slightest, and while speaking modestly, he repaid Father Xia with the attitude of a junior.

It was only at this moment that Xia Lin realized that the reason why this life deviates from the previous one was entirely due to Song Yan's role in it.

But he couldn't blame Song Yan for doing so much. The Xia family failed to get over this hurdle in the previous life, which caused a lot of obstacles to the subsequent business development. In this life, because of the timely assistance of the Song family, the Xia family's industry has been greatly improved. Strictly speaking, he has to thank Song Yan for the smooth transfer from abroad to China.

But if he wanted to apologize to Song Yan at this time, he absolutely couldn't do it, and he just lowered his head to drink and pretended not to hear.

Mrs. Xia chatted with Mr. Song for a long time, and then began to care about the gossip about her grandchildren: "If I remember correctly, Song Yan seems to be only a few months older than our family. Do you have a girlfriend? ?"

Song Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "There is someone I like, but unfortunately I haven't caught up yet."

Xia Lin tightened his hand holding the wine glass, and secretly prayed that Song Yan would not twitch at this moment.

"Oh, then you have to work harder." The old lady Xia said regretfully, "Which family's daughter is she, with such a high vision, even our handsome and rich eldest young master of the Song family can't look down on it?"

Song Yan said ashamedly: "He... he is very good, but I am not worthy of him, so I have to work harder."

Mother Song became interested when she heard it: "Son, why haven't I heard you mention it before, which girl is it, do you want my mother to tell it for you?"

"No," Song Yan shook his head, his eyes passed over Xia Lin lightly, and then paused, "My daughter-in-law, I will chase it myself."

Zhou Shuo, who was sitting on the side, looked at Song Yan and Xia Lin, but didn't say a word.

But all his subtle movements fell into Xia Liang's eyes. Xia Liang followed his line of sight and swept back and forth between Song Yan and Xia Lin several times, narrowing his eyes slightly.

The elders present were still immersed in a harmonious atmosphere. Mrs. Xia seemed to have remembered something, and said with a slight regret, "It's a pity that our two families have been friends for so many years, but we have never been able to become in-laws."

Old Man Song said with a smile: "No, who made our sons born with handlebars?"

Mother Song said with emotion: "Speaking of which, when I gave birth to Song Yan, Xia Lin came to see me with his belly in the confinement, and she even took my hand and said, if her child is a girl, she will give it to me. Song Yan is my daughter-in-law. But. I didn't expect her to go like this. Hey."

Mother Song said, wiping the corners of her eyes a little sadly, and the elders also sighed for a while.

Song Yan had never heard her mother talk about this past, so she blurted out, "Mom, why didn't you tell me before?"

"What's the use of telling you," Mother Song couldn't help laughing and crying, "Xia Lin looks like a boy when she was born, should I force you to marry Xia Lin?"

"However, the two of you have been very good since you were young. You must have a destiny somewhere. You two can't become husband and wife. It's not bad to be good brothers."

Song Yan didn't speak any more. He resisted the inexplicable excitement in his heart and went to see Xia Lin frequently, wondering what Xia Lin was thinking at the moment.

However, Xia Lin just lowered his head and didn't give him any response.

In fact, Xia Lin knew about this when he was very young.

At that time, Xia Liang was still young. Seeing that Xia Lin was with Song Yan tired all day long, he secretly teased Xia Lin: "Are you really going to be Song Yan's daughter-in-law?"

Xia Lin asked dumbfoundedly, "What do you mean?"

Xia Liang told him the marriage contract once promised between the two mothers.

Xia Liang said these words and forgot them, but Xia Lin deeply branded them in his heart. He thought that the fate between himself and Song Yan had been set long before he was born, but it was a pity that he gave birth to the wrong child and could not really be Song Yan's daughter-in-law.

Later, when he found out that Song Yan liked Yu Luotong, he was both happy and sad. The happy thing was that Song Yan also liked men, but the sad thing was that the person Song Yan liked was not him.

But he didn't give up, he kept silently by Song Yan's side, imagining that Song Yan would one day turn around and take a good look at him.

Later, he finally replaced Yu Luotong and became the person beside Song Yan, but he never became the person on Song Yan's heart.
