☆、Chapter 24 Meals

When he walked to the door of the private room, Xia Zichen was about to push the door in when he heard An Jing ask in surprise, "You said you brought Concubine Lian'er to see the parents?!"

Xia Zichen instinctively stopped and withdrew his outstretched hand. The door was not closed when he came out, and the corridor was quiet, so it was easy to hear their conversation.

"Well, this time I went to Hong Kong with her." Shen Yicheng said with great responsibility.

"I didn't expect you two to become real." An Jing's voice was slightly cold.

"Didn't you hear it last time at yy?" Shen Yicheng didn't forget An Jing jumping into the wrong room.

"I didn't expect you to take her to see her parents at the time."

Shen Yicheng sighed, "I didn't think much about it when I was with her at the time, I just thought that the girl was pretty and considerate, and it was interesting to be coquettish occasionally, but after all, it's a game, and people don't know much about it. There are many more, and I feel that people are not bad, although the game is very watery, but in reality, she is also a lady, and her cultivation is not bad."

"To say, maybe this is also fate. Her family is in the real estate industry, she has a good family background, and she is very good at dressing up. It happened that my father wanted to cooperate with her family at first, and he was a little worried at the time. Later, I found out that we were in love, and then I was relieved. Let’s talk about this business. For the sake of both parties’ peace of mind, during the Chinese New Year, the two families have an appointment to have a meal together.” Shen Yicheng took a sip of coffee and continued: “You also know a little about my family, and marriage will definitely be based on marriage in the future. So The concubine and I are also considered to be well-matched, and the cooperation between the two is both beneficial and harmless, so it is settled for the time being."

Listening to Shen Yicheng's words, Tang Hui frowned, "Then why do you like her?"

"I can't tell, I just think it's quite suitable in every aspect." Shen Yicheng smiled, "Actually, it's quite good. Compared with the introduction from my family, I prefer what I have encountered..."

As soon as Shen Yicheng's voice fell, Xia Zichen pushed open the door and walked in. Xia Zichen is not surprised that Shen Yicheng will marry, many business people will do this to consolidate their careers. However, he once thought that Shen Yicheng would at least fight for it himself, after all, not many young people today like to stick to the rules. But obviously, Shen Yicheng was not like that.

Perhaps he naturally met Concubine Lian, who happened to have a good family background, so he naturally accepted this matter. Compared with those who were forced to marry, Shen Yicheng was obviously much better.

He didn't have this fate with Shen Yicheng, so he let go as soon as possible. Xia Zichen didn't have any special feelings about Shen Yicheng and Concubine Lian's settling down, and the calm seemed a little cold. On the day of Shen Yicheng's wedding, he will sincerely give blessings.

"Zi Chen..." Seeing him come in, Shen Yicheng's expression softened, and he seemed a little regretful that he didn't stop the topic earlier.

"I heard. This time, it's a real congratulations. Real love is more reliable than games." In Xia Zichen's view, marriage in games is just a virtual form and has no real meaning, so I said congratulations out of politeness. Now that the two have come from the game to reality, no matter how Shen Yicheng told him that online dating was unrealistic, he should sincerely bless them.

As Shen Yicheng himself said, this may be the fate between him and Concubine Lian.

Shen Yicheng looked at Xia Zichen seriously, was silent for a while, and said, "I have the opportunity to introduce you to her, her real name is Fan Jiayue."

"Yeah." Xia Zichen nodded, sat back at the mahjong table, and sorted out the cards he had deducted.

An Jing and Tang Hui didn't do anything anymore, Shen Yicheng changed the subject, and the four continued to play mahjong.

After about a quarter of an hour, the door of the private room was knocked three times from the outside.

"Come in." Shen Yicheng responded.

The door was pushed open, and a man in a suit walked in and said with a smile, "Excuse me, who is Mr. Xia?"

The four of them were stunned for a moment, Xia Zichen stood up, "I am."

"Hello, I'm the manager of the food and beverage department of the Linyao Club. Mr. Gu asked me to bring you afternoon tea. These are just made, and they are a little hot, please be careful and slow." The manager waved gently and walked back. Seven or eight waiters came in, and after a while, snacks and beverages were placed on the coffee table, "Don't bother you, just tell me if you need anything. Mr. Gu said afternoon tea was counted on his account, and you can taste it as you like."

Speaking, the manager left the private room with a smile, and closed the door smoothly, polite but not overly attentive, with just the right service attitude.

Xia Zichen frowned because of him coming and going, looking at the snacks on the coffee table that couldn't be put down, he felt a little helpless. There was so much that the four of them couldn't finish it all together.

"What, Mr. Gu?" Shen Yicheng first broke the silence in the room.

"A friend." Xia Zichen said lightly.

"What kind of friend can send so many things?" Shen Yicheng obviously didn't want to be so fooled. Even he couldn't give Xia Zichen a table of snacks for no reason.

But more Xia Ziyi didn't want to explain.

At this time, An Jing suddenly said: "Is it the one who asked for the cake last time?" Seeing Xia Zizhen didn't want to say more, and knew who the "Mr. Gu" was, and smiled to help Xia Ziyi explain: "Mr. Gu is The elder brother of the neighbor's house I met when Xiaoyu was a child, and recently returned from abroad. I also invited me and Xiaoyu to eat cakes last time. "

Although he didn't know why Gu Xu sent so many snacks to Xia Ziyi, he had to ask it for a private matter, and there was no need to let Shen Yicheng know too much. Besides, Shen Yicheng and Gu Xu ... there is nothing comparable.

Shen Yicheng nodded his head. He accepted An Jing's answer.

Xia Ziyi didn't say anything. He picked the hot cocoa from many drinks, and chose a few more hearts that looked not too sweet. He sat back on the chair and continued to play mahjong.

An Jing also picked some snacks, and the cup of ice cola naturally returned to Tang Hui. Shen Yicheng didn't touch the table of the table, and continued to drink the coffee on hand.

When leaving the hall, the sky was completely dark. Walking to the lobby downstairs, the previous manager of the catering department called Xia Zizhen again.

"This is what Mr. Gu asked to give it to you, please take it back to eat." Then, handed the four -layer wooden lunch box on Xia Zizhen.

"Dim Sum?" Xia Ziyi refused. He knew that even if he didn't want him, the man would find a way to stuff it into his own hands.

"No, it's dinner. You can also go back as supper." The manager explained.

"Okay, thank you." Xia Ziyi thanked him politely, "If he is still upstairs, please help me thank him."

"Don't worry, I will convey it to Mr. Gu." The manager of the catering department smiled and made an invitation. "I have called you a taxi, and the fare has been paid. Mr. Gu said it was cold and went home early."

Shen Yicheng, who finished the account behind, did not stand there so much. An Jing pursed his mouth and seemed to want to laugh, but was not very embarrassed. Although Tang Hui was somewhat unknown, he also saw some doors.

"Okay, Xiaoyu, you go back first. Uncle Tai Wan must also worry." An Jing patted his shoulder and whispered in his ear: "Go back to call you."

"Um." He is not hungry at all now, but this meal is still hot. When you go back, you can eat it for your father.

"Okay, be careful on the road." Tang Hui said.

"I have something to call me." Shen Yicheng nodded slightly, not saying anything.

Xia Ziyi laughed at An Jing and said, "Go first", and walked out of the hall under the escort of the manager and got on a taxi.

When Xia Yuze arrived home, he saw the lunch box that was still on the table.

Xia Ziyi, who had just taken a shower, walked out of the bathroom wearing a pajamas and saw Xia Yuze, showing a pleasant smile, "Dad, come back?"

"Um." Xia Yuze took off his jacket, "Do you buy take -out?"

The words "Linyi Club" on the lunch box are very obvious. What is Xia Yuze naturally understood, but in his understanding, Xia Zizhen will not buy such a meal for such expensive dishes. After all, the economic situation at home will be It's still a bit luxurious.

"I played there today. This is what my friends are invited. Everyone is not hungry at night, and she is afraid of going home without eating. She called for taking out." Xia Zizhen compiled a lie, and he didn't really want to lie to Xia Yuze. I just feel difficult to explain. When you need to explain in the future, you can talk about it.

"Um." Xia Yuze responded, and he accepted Xia Zizhen's words, "I bought too much."

Xia Ziyi smiled, this is not he controlled, "Dad, have you dinner?" Xia Yuze returned earlier earlier.

"Not yet." He had seen the time early and wanted to come back to do it by himself.

"Just right, eat while hot." Xia Ziyi walked to the table and opened the lunch box. He returned quickly, and the thermal insulation effect of the lunch box was also good. Now the meal is still hot.

After looking at the dishes in the lunch box, Xia Ziyi, who said it was a friend, was a little speechless.

——The top layer is four cold dishes, and there are eight hot dishes on the second and third layers. The bottom layer is rice, soup and dessert.

Both people can't say this weight, but the hot vegetables actually run out even the braised sea cucumber ... This is obviously not the dishes they will order ...

Xia Zichen thought it was a three-course meal with rice, but he didn't expect so many tricks.

Xia Yuze obviously also felt a little strange.Each dish is separated by a wooden grid, so there is no need to worry about the smell, and the weight is quite large. It is indeed too extravagant to come to Xia Zichen's past eating habits.

Xia Zichen twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's a set meal, but I didn't notice anything."

Xia Yuze looked at his embarrassed son and shook his head with a smile, "Next time, look at the menu. Even if someone treats you, you can't spend too much money."

He knew very well in his heart that Xia Zichen didn't tell him the truth, but since he didn't say it clearly, it was not easy to tell, so he would talk about it when Xia Zichen wanted to confess.

"Yeah." Xia Zichen went to the kitchen to scoop up chopsticks, thinking in his heart whether he should return the money to Gu Xu next time he sees him, or else he would owe a lot of money.

Xia Yuze, who had washed his hands, took the chopsticks and started eating slowly.Xia Zichen sat opposite, chatting with him without a word, but Gu Xu's shadow flashed in his mind from time to time, there was always a lingering feeling...
