At the dinner table, Qi Yuying, with a rosy face, was reviewing the brilliant chess move she had just made with her grandchildren. No one's attention was yet on Xiaodong.
Shen Yinan took out the phone and after the call was connected, an unclear male voice came from the other side.
Following the words on the other side, Ana Shen frowned, his expression unclear: "Well...Okay, is that not enough? I see...I'm eating now, tell me the details later."
He replied word for word. Xue Du watched from the side, pinching his little finger bone and kneading it with a little force, like a child trying to attract an adult's attention.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Yinan sighed softly, with helplessness between his eyebrows.
Xue Ning noticed it, glanced at Xue Du's expression, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
“Nothing, it’s not a very important thing.” Shen Yinan said, and his expression returned to normal.
Just then Qi Yuying brought some food over, and Shen Yinan lowered his head and ate in silence.
Xue Ning leaned back and winked at Xue Du, his face tinged with sympathy and his excitement filled with disappointment.
I'm telling you, I'm telling you! Gu Yan must have come! You're done for! Someone's going to take your wife away!
What are you still doing sitting there? Go and comfort your wife!
Her eyes were squeezed so hard that they were sore, but Xue Du didn't react at all.
When she was so angry that she was about to hit him, Xue Du raised his chin slightly, and his meaning was very clear: You should try your best too.
Xue Ning was speechless. Is she your wife or my wife? Do you want me to help you?
But on second thought.
She should be thankful that someone wants a guy like her brother.
It's hard to find a good boy like Shen Yinan who works hard and has a good personality. It's definitely a miracle that he falls in love with Xue Du from their family.
not to mention……
Xue Ning recalled what happened when Xue Du broke up a few years ago.
That should have been a day not long after university started.
On Saturday night, Xue Du had made an appointment with them to have dinner together at a classmate's house.
But when he got there, he couldn't get through to Xue Du on the phone.
When the restaurant was about to open, Xue Du sent them a message, asking them to eat first and that he had something to do and couldn't go.
After the meal, classmates gave some local specialties as gifts, and Xue Ning was ordered to deliver them to Xue Du.
Xue Du moved out of the old house a long time ago and has been living in an apartment near S University.
After the car stopped downstairs, Xue Ning went upstairs in high heels.
At that time, Xue Du was still in the early stages of his business. Although the company had good development prospects, he did not want a penny from his family. In order to avoid losses, he rented an old apartment.
There was no elevator in the building, and Xue Ning was already out of breath when he climbed to the sixth floor.
After a while, he knocked on Xue Du's door.
The old house didn't have very good sound insulation, and she heard heavy footsteps and... the sound of bottles colliding and rolling on the ground.
At that time, Xue Ning thought there was a thief in the house, so he reached into his bag and grabbed something to protect himself.
The door lock was turned, and when the door opened, it was indeed Xue Du's face.
Xue Ning breathed a sigh of relief and handed over the specialty in his hand: "Someone gave it to me and asked me to give you some."
"Yeah." Xue Du was not in a good mood. He took the things and was about to close the door.
Xue Ning's nose twitched and he smelled a scent of alcohol.
She frowned: "Have you been drinking?"
There was no light in the house, but by the light, Xue Ning could vaguely see many wine bottles, some of which were rolling on the ground.
She was horrified: "You...you are bankrupt?!"
You know, from childhood to adulthood, Xue Du has the best self-control among his brothers and sisters.
Back in school, Xue Ning would secretly drink beer to act like an adult, always tricking Lu Zhi, but Xue Du never touched a single sip. Sometimes at parties, he would never drink more than three glasses.
Apart from the company's bankruptcy, Xue Ning didn't know what else could have made Xue Du drink so much.
Xue Du said calmly, "No."
He raised his hand to close the door.
Xue Ning was afraid that he would die from drinking too much, so he squeezed in through the crack in the door.
As soon as I turned on the light, I was shocked again.
Not only were there empty beer cans on the coffee table, but there were also several red wine bottles placed opposite the floor-to-ceiling window, and an empty bottle of Moutai was lying upside down next to it...
Xue Ning asked, "If you want to die, can you write me as the heir to your estate? Anyway, you haven't caught up with that guy called Shen...what's Bei?"
"It's Nan." Xue Du's originally casual expression immediately turned cold, "Don't mention him now."
Xue Ning curled his lips, crossed his arms, and speculated, "Your confession failed? That's not right. Freshmen will start school in early September, and you've only met a few times. Can't you restrain yourself a little?"
"If you say that again, you can get out."
Young people in their early twenties have not yet learned to control their expressions, and under the influence of alcohol, they don't want to hide their inner irritability.
"I was wrong?" Xue Ning shrugged. "You've had your eye on him for a long time. It would be strange if you didn't chase him after he came here..."
She didn't dare to say the rest.
Because her brother, who had been restrained since childhood, gradually had red eyes.
He stood there, his voice so soft that it seemed to be lost in the thick night:
"I haven't had time to catch up yet."
"There's no chance anymore."
…
It was then that Xue Ning realized that someone had sent Xue Du a photo of Shen Yinan following Gu Yan.
There were one or two shots where he could use a different angle, but most of the time, Shen Yinan just followed behind Gu Yan like a silent shadow.
Even if Xue Du didn't want to believe it, he had to believe it after seeing with his own eyes how Shen Yinan was driven by Gu Yan in the afternoon.
The joy of reunion gradually cooled down.
