Lu Yuxuan couldn't say a word at this moment. He kept his head down the whole time, biting his lower lip tightly, for fear that he would accidentally laugh out loud.
Xia Nan next to him was not much better than him. The two of them were fighting under the table, just to divert attention.
Lu Zixiao coughed awkwardly and said, "Uncle, generally speaking, you'd better think about Xia Nan going abroad. If you keep forcing the child, your relationship will only become more and more distant in the future, and there will be no benefit."
Father Xia pondered for a moment, stuffed another mulberry into his mouth, and said in a calmer tone: "You just said that if Xia Nan doesn't develop well in the future, your family will help him. Is that true?"
"Of course," Lu Zixiao said decisively, "I always keep my word."
Father Xia looked him over and said slowly, "That makes me a little curious. I see you're only in your twenties. How capable can you be? Or, if that day really comes, how do you plan to help him?"
Lu Zixiao smiled politely and said, "Even if Xia Nan really doesn't achieve anything in the future, I will first ask for his opinion, and then make corresponding plans based on his professional level. Whether he wants to go abroad or go to other places for further studies, our family can do its best and can fully afford it."
Father Xia frowned slightly: "You are so absolute, are you sure you can do it?"
"I dare to say this promise, and I will definitely do it." Lu Zixiao looked at him firmly, "You can rest assured."
Father Xia looked at him quietly for a long time, and just when Lu Zixiao was about to burst out laughing again, he finally reacted.
"You're quite good, young man! You speak and act with dignity and grace. You're a good candidate for leadership!"
"Do you even need to tell me that?" Xia Nan couldn't help but say, "My eldest brother is the CEO."
Lu Zixiao glanced at him and laughed inwardly: This kid is so good at calling me "big brother". He has been calling me that for so many years, but in the end he was kidnapped away by his own fifth brother.
Hearing this, Father Xia was startled and quickly asked, "Excuse me, which company are you the boss of?"
"Xia Nan is exaggerating a bit. I'm just a vice president." Lu Zixiao said modestly, "As for the company, you should have heard of it. Wan Yi Group."
Father Xia's eyes suddenly widened.
The Wan Yi Group is now well-known to everyone. Even he, who has lived abroad for many years, has heard of it.
From being on the verge of bankruptcy to now moving forward side by side with the Gu Group, many people have praised it.
In addition, the most astonishing thing is not how brilliant its performance is, but that the entire company is supported by three young people in their early twenties.
"I see..." Father Xia looked at Lu Zixiao again with a more approving look in his eyes, "You are really young and promising."
Lu Zixiao smiled and said, "You are too kind."
Father Xia waved his hand and said, "But I still have a question... Why are you willing to help Xia Nan to this extent? Is it just because he is your brother's good friend?"
"Well..." Lu Zixiao paused, "Let Xia Nan tell you."
Father Xia looked confused, but still turned his head to look at the two people opposite him.
"Because we are a real family." Xia Nan raised the hand that was shaking with Lu Yuxuan, "Yuxuan and I are already together."
"What did you say?!"
The expression on Father Xia's face at this moment was simply wonderful, with shock, anger, a little helplessness and confusion. Coupled with his indescribable blue and purple mouth, he looked extremely funny for a moment.
“Puff—”
Xia Nan was the first one who couldn't hold it in anymore and laughed out loud.
"You still have the nerve to laugh?!" Father Xia exclaimed angrily, "You...you two boys are actually...a couple? Do you have any shame?!"
"What's shameless about this?" Lu Yuxuan blinked innocently. "We got together because we truly love each other. It's above board. We don't steal or rob, we don't cheat, and we don't abandon each other. Isn't this kind of love the purest? What do you think, uncle?"
Father Xia choked. How could he not hear the indirect criticism in Lu Yuxuan's words? His face immediately turned dark.
"Xia Nan, I thought you were just a bit willful and rebellious during puberty, but I didn't expect you... you don't even have a correct outlook on life! For someone like you, there's no way you'll ever become anything great!"
"Oh," Xia Nan replied nonchalantly, "According to what you said, there are a lot of ghosts in this world."
Father Xia glared at him: "What do you mean?"
"Uncle, there's no need to be so absolute," Lu Zixiao said. "There's nothing wrong with choosing the one you love, and this choice has no direct bearing on your future."
When facing Lu Zixiao, Xia's father would still give him some face. Although his tone was harsh, he didn't yell at him.
"Why doesn't it matter? He's willing to give up a good university for such an unreliable relationship now. Who knows, he might do something outrageous in the future!"
"That depends on them," Lu Zixiao said. "As parents, if we interfere too much, it will only backfire."
Father Xia snorted heavily: "You don't seem to be against them?"
"Because I've been through this, I believe in their feelings," Lu Zixiao said frankly, "My significant other is also a boy, and he's made a huge contribution to my success today."
This time, Father Xia was completely speechless.
The air suddenly became quiet, and the atmosphere became weird.
"Um..." Lu Yuxuan said cautiously, "Here is some tea. Uncle, I'll pour you a cup to calm you down."
