“Su Xun went on a business trip. Of course, I have to do my part to help him.” Xi Wan said.
Su Xiu smiled even more happily.
Xi Wan sat on his right, so she could not avoid meeting Su Xun’s parents’ gaze.
Su Shi glanced at Xi Wan but his face was expressionless. The way Sun Yao looked at Xi Wan also contained too many complicated emotions. Even the expression on her face was difficult to describe in words.
The originally harmonious atmosphere instantly became silent.
Su Xiu drank a mouthful of tea and was about to speak when someone shouted from outside the door, “Young Master is back!”
‘Young Master’ still sounded too unfamiliar to Xi Wan. She looked towards the door and saw Su Xun rushing in in a decent suit before he sat beside her.
“Hello, Grandpa.” Su Xun greeted him and then greeted his parents opposite him but there was an obvious sense of alienation. “Dad, Mom.
Su Shi replied with a faint ‘mm’ and his expression was also very serious. From this point alone, Su Xun and Su Shi were indeed father and son.
Sun Yao did not respond but when she saw Su Xun’s hands on Xi Wan’s, she was a little surprised.
The last time they came, the three of them had a meal together and it could be considered a happy meal. However, there were five of them this time and the relationship between them had yet to be verified, so this meal was a little difficult.
In the end, it was Su Xiu who spoke first. He said to Su Xun, “How are the projects overseas?”
“It’s okay.” Su Xun replied.
“I heard that this project is the focus of the second half of the year. You have to work hard during this period of time.”
“I understand.” Su Xun ate a few more mouthfuls before putting down his cutleries.
It looked like he was the one who could eat the most, but he was the first to put down her cutleries. Not long after Su Xun put down his cutleries, Sun Yao also put down her cutleries.
The system looked at the scene in front of it and gave its guess: [The relationship between the antagonist and his mother is very strange. I guess the theory of favoritism can be established. They had a big fight because of this matter before and then everyone felt that they had been wronged, so they had been in a stalemate until now.]
Xi Wan listened to the system’s explanation as she ate, “Then why don’t you analyze the relationship between father and son?”
[The antagonist’s father must have sided with his mother. He might have even slapped the antagonist. From then on, the antagonist sealed his emotions and feelings, embarked on the path of becoming rich and strong, and became cold and ruthless!]
“Your guess is quite interesting.”
The system replied: [What do you mean? You don’t believe me?]
Xi Wan continued eating.
The aunt who cooked served the freshly brewed soup. When she saw Su Xun and Sun Yao put down their chopsticks, a worried expression appeared on her face. But in the blink of an eye, she saw that Xi Wan was enjoying her meal and said, “Young Madam, this is my best carp soup. Do you want to try it?”
This form of address immediately sounded outdated.
“Sure,” Xi Wan happily drank the soup when she heard her new nickname.
The aunt also filled half a bowl of soup for Su Xun and placed it in front of him. Su Xun did not say anything to stop him. He even picked up a spoon and took a sip.
“Is it delicious?” Xi Wan asked as she watched from the side.
Su Xun did not expect Xi Wan to ask him that. He paused for a moment and said, “It’s delicious.”
Sun Yao also asked the aunt to scoop a bowl of soup for her. Su Shi glanced at her and Sun Yao then asked him, “Do you want some?”
Su Shi nodded.
Hence, the whole family began to drink the soup in an orderly manner. If it was any other family, they would definitely be very happy. However, in the Su family, it was indescribably strange.
The system could not help but complained: [It feels like they just met today.]
Xi Wan: “Be bold. We’re actually sharing a meal.”
The atmosphere was extremely awkward. Xi Wan thought that it would be over after dinner, but she and Su Xun were both called in for a chat.
In the study, Su Xiu and Xi Wan discussed calligraphy for a while before he handed her a landscape painting, saying that it was a gift for her.
“Grandpa, this is too expensive. I can’t accept it.” Xi Wan said.
Su Xiu smiled and said, “Take it, I don’t have anything to give you juniors. I didn’t tell Su Xun about the family banquet. If he’s angry, help me comfort him.
Take this as my bribe to you.”
Xi Wan thought about it and said, “He won’t be angry with you.”
Su Xiu savored this sentence and could not help but smile. “I heard something happened to Xi Group recently?”
“It’s just a small problem,” Xi Wan replied without thinking..
