The fat man suddenly turned and stared at her with a bold and aggressive gaze, leaving Lou Xiao'e at a loss for words: "You, what do you want to do? I'm warning you, don't do anything rash!"
"Tell me, have you cheated on me?"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, then grabbed her handbag and started hitting her. Good grief, there were bricks in the bag, weren't there? No sportsmanship at all!
After she'd had her fill of hitting it, Lou Xiao'e finally pulled out a mobile phone. No wonder it felt like a brick earlier...
Seeing the fat man's malicious gaze, Lou Xiao'e slammed the mobile phone down on the table: "Have you ever seen it before?"
"Tch, what a crappy old mobile phone, as thick as a brick, with a terrible signal. You have to yell to make a call. I wouldn't take it even if it were free."
Lou Xiao'e was furious again: "You..."
After the banter, the fat man pressed further: "Did you cheat on me?"
Lou Xiao'e, embarrassed, quickly covered Chen Xiao's—oh, now Chen Mengxiao's—ears: "Fatty, you're talking nonsense!"
The fat man chuckled. Just like before, he was still huffing and puffing – a verb. Well, his vocabulary for swearing was still so limited.
The fat man got the answer he wanted and happily pulled Chen Mengxiao to sit down; Lou Xiao'e, however, remained standing angrily to the side: "Why add the word 'Meng'?"
The fat man was so busy teasing Chen Mengxiao that he became even more eager to tease him, seeing how incredibly shy he was.
Caught off guard by Lou Xiao'e's question, he didn't think much of it and said, "My daughter's name is Chen Mengqi, so he has to be named Chen Mengxiao."
Lou Xiao'e muttered to herself, "No wonder it's called Qili Pavilion. A daughter, a wife, you don't care about me at all..."
The fat man covered Chen Mengxiao's ears, mimicking her gesture: "Ahem, don't say these things in front of the child."
Lou Xiao'e almost hit him on the head again: "Why are you still the same as before, the same..."
At this point, I found myself unable to continue.
One thing is for sure: the fat guy is definitely not an honest person. He's got a lot of tricks up his sleeve!
But then again, it was Fatty who helped her when she was at her lowest point, when she was most desperate and in the most desperate situation; he helped her rescue her parents and saved the Lou family...
It can be said that without Fatty, Lou Xiao'e would not be where she is today.
Moreover, and most importantly, it was your girlfriend who brought it up first... cough cough, I slipped up, it was Lou Xiao'e who took the initiative.
Lou Xiao'e suddenly said to the fat man, "I want to drink. Ask the waiter to bring me some drinks."
But to his surprise, the fat man scolded him: "You have no sense of propriety! The child is right here, how can you drink alcohol? We parents should set an example for our children by drinking Hong Kong-style milk tea!"
Lou Xiao'e was stunned. You have a restaurant in Beijing that makes milk tea with stockings?
So when Liu Jia brought in three cups of Hong Kong-style milk tea, not only Chen Mengxiao, but even Lou Xiao'e looked like she had seen a ghost.
The fat guy said in a smug way, "Don't think Hong Kong is all high-end. What's so special about the stuff in a tea restaurant? I can even make pineapple buns, want some?"
"..."
Lou Xiao'e stared blankly at the fat man, just staring at him.
This guy is still as annoying as ever. But Lou Xiao'e knows in her heart that this is not his true nature.
This was because they were both teacher and friend in the past, but now it's naturally... Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e suddenly couldn't help but chuckle.
The fat man was teasing Chen Mengxiao when he suddenly heard laughter and was startled, saying, "That's too creepy, don't scare the child."
Lou Xiao'e picked up her old mobile phone and pretended to smash it: "He's 16 years old, how can he be so timid!"
The fat man asked her, "What happy thing came to mind?"
Lou Xiao'e stared straight at him: "Recite a few more lines of rhyming phrases for me."
Swing, swing your tongue!
The fat man remembered the lie he had once recited to Lou Xiao'e: "Your parents are in my hands, they can't escape, and even if they do, I'll find a way to bring you back." It turned out Lou Xiao'e was recalling his old ramblings…
The fat man looked at the child with a troubled expression, stammering, "This, this isn't good, isn't it? Don't corrupt the child."
Lou Xiao'e's temper flared up again: "I don't care! I want it!"
The fat man couldn't persuade her otherwise, so he said to Chen Mengxiao, "I'm going to have a few words with your mother. It's the kind of thing adults do when they're scheming against each other. It's not something you should be listening to."
Chen Mengxiao actually winked at him, and then very obediently covered her ears.
This deeply hurt Lou Xiao'e...
The fat man cleared his throat: "Listen carefully, 'If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening.' This means if I find out where you live in the morning, I'll come to your house and beat you to death tonight!"
"puff……"
Lou Xiao'e was completely overwhelmed with laughter. Well, she's still the same as before, with a low threshold for laughter.
After laughing enough, Lou Xiao'e called out again, "Chen Xiao..."
"It's Chen Mengxiao!"
"Fatty, you're bullying me! I raised him all by myself, and I've been calling him Chen Xiao for 16 years. Why should you change his name just because you want to?"
The fat man scratched his forehead guiltily, as if he had a thousand words to say to Lou Xiao'e, but he was embarrassed in front of the child.
Lou Xiao'e looked at the fat man with a mocking expression: "Later I'll have Chen, okay Chen Mengxiao, pay the bill and have him call Yu Li 'Mom' directly!"
The fat man shuddered in fright: "No way, that's brutal? By the way, how did you two get in?"
Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes: "Now you feel guilty? We deliberately chose a time when there were a lot of people to come in. Your Yu Li was busy counting money with her head down. She didn't have time to look up at people."
The fat man looked at Chen Mengxiao, rubbed his nose, and said to him, "Kid, a lot happened back then, so you have an older sister..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lou Xiao'e interrupted her: "Wait a minute! Why is she the older sister? When I left, Yu Li wasn't even pregnant yet!"
Ah, Lou Xiao'e is right. It was six months after she left that Yu Li became pregnant with Chen Mengqi.
But you can't calculate it like that!
The fat man hurriedly explained to Lou Xiao'e, "I've spoiled my young lady rotten; she's the leader of the kids in our neighborhood. If she knew she had a younger brother, she'd be overjoyed; but if she suddenly became a younger sister, then..."
Lou Xiao'e was so angry that she reached out and pinched him: "Is there no law anymore? I regret it, I won't let my son acknowledge you!"
At this moment, Chen Mengxiao suddenly spoke up: "Mommy, it's actually quite nice to have an older sister."
The child suddenly started talking, and he was speaking Mandarin!
Although the Lou family taught him to speak Mandarin from a young age and told him that their family roots were in Beiping, that's just how the environment was. It's like how many people born abroad who are "bananas" (meaning they are culturally Westernized) can't speak Chinese.
Chen Mengxiao can speak Mandarin, but he hasn't dared to speak since he got off the plane.
Even when Lou Xiao'e asked him what he wanted to eat and drink when he was ordering food, he just nodded or shook his head. If she pressed him, he would speak Cantonese, afraid that people would laugh at him for having an accent.
