Chapter 288 Your father-in-law is less picky about food than your father-in-law



At this time, in the provincial military region.

Nie Xinghua and a dozen generals walked out of the meeting room and asked everyone to disperse.

"Are you going to Renmin Road?" asked Lao Xue next to me.

The Nie family members all had high brows and deep eyes. When they stared, their gazes were as deep as a pool, yet covered with a layer of fog, making it difficult to see clearly. Old Xue waited quietly.

"Get the car ready."

The car drove up to them. Just as Nie Xinghua was about to get in, he saw a young man not far away and paused.

Lu Yunxiao also saw him, was stunned for a moment, and then saluted him solemnly from a distance of more than ten meters.

"Captain Lu." Nie Xinghua called him.

Lu Yunxiao then came up, "Yes, hello, Chief."

Nie Xinghua's face showed no expression, but his tone was calm as if he was chatting, "Are you used to it?"

Lu Yunxiao was stunned again, but otherwise showed no expression. "Thank you for your concern, Chief. I'm fine."

"Do you have any objection to my arrangement?"

"No."

Nie Xinghua looked at him for a while and said, "That's good. Work hard."

Watching the black car drive out of the gate, Lu Yunxiao was still in a daze.

The car was not the one he had taken when he came here this morning.

Where is he going?

Lu Yunxiao thought of something, and a flash of pain flashed through his heart. The suppressed thoughts in his heart suddenly surged out like a tide. He suppressed the surging bitterness and called Yang Shuo, "Come out and drink with me."

Over here, in the courtyard on Renmin Road.

The diligent Mr. Nie helped Jiang Yi put the food on the table. Just as he was about to take off his apron, he suddenly heard his father-in-law barking outside.

"I'll go and take a look." Jiang Yi said.

Nie Can thought of his grandmother's words and followed her.

"Eunuch, come back." When Jiang Yi saw the black Crown, she thought it was Nie Can's partner Zhan Guowei, and subconsciously called the big golden retriever back.

He shouted, "Father-in-law, he is an acquaintance, you are not allowed to call him that."

Nie Xinghua, who had just gotten off the car, said: "......?"

Father-in-law: “Woof woof!”

Jiang Yi: “……!”

It's over, why is it Father Nie? ! "I'm sorry, I was calling the dog, not you."

But it still doesn't seem right.

Nie Xinghua's expression froze for a moment, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

Only Nie Can laughed, and his shoulders were shaking. Jiang Yi hit him, "Still laughing? It's all your fault." Who would call a dog father-in-law a hooligan who cheats his wife?

Nie Can stopped laughing, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, "What brings you here? You are such a blessing to my humble home."

Nie Xinghua's eyes fell on his son's face and apron. "Shameless."

Nie Can didn't care and followed him in. He looked carefree and sat in a chair opposite Nie Xinghua, with a table of food between them. "You really know how to pick the right time to come. Your nose is more sensitive than my father-in-law's. Hiss..."

It was Jiang Yi who pinched his back. Jiang Yi glared at him and said, "Be serious and greet your father."

Nie Can stopped laughing and asked, "Did grandma call you?"

Old Mrs. Nie said, "I just yelled out, but who knew he would really come."

Nie Xinghua's eyes swept around the room, his deep eyes and brows showing no expression.

Jiang Yi was a little reserved: "I'll go get some more bowls and chopsticks."

She served soup to everyone and handed one bowl to Nie Xinghua. "I didn't know you were coming, so I made a few dishes. I wonder if they suit your taste."

"Don't worry, your father-in-law is less picky about food than your father-in-law," said Nie Can.

Jiang Yi almost gave him a spoonful of head.

Nie Xinghua glanced at his son, and when his eyes passed over the black bean sauce spare ribs and the fried nine-layer cake, he paused slightly and his expression softened a little.

Jiang Yi thought, no wonder Old Mrs. Nie said she wanted to eat these two dishes.

With the presence of Father Nie, the atmosphere became much quieter. Even Xiao Guozi became well-behaved, rolling his eyes at Grandpa Nie who was wearing a military uniform.

So majestic.

"Grandma, uncle, would you like some wine?"

Nie Can glanced at Jiang Yi and raised his eyebrows, "Since we're already engaged, shouldn't I call him dad? Or you can call me father-in-law."

Jiang Yi saw the veins on Chief Nie's forehead jump, and quickly said, "Dad, do you want to drink white wine or foreign wine?"

The tense atmosphere around them disappeared visibly. One of the two men smiled, while the other looked a little unnatural. The latter said, "White, please."

Grandma Nie also smiled, "I've wanted to drink it for a long time."

The last time Jiang Yi went to North City, she knew that Grandma Nie liked to drink two cups, so she took out a bottle of Wuliangye and said, "Mom, I want to drink too."

"That won't work." The four adults said together.

After that, everyone looked at each other. Except for Chief Nie, everyone else smiled. Jiang Yi said to Xiao Guozi, "Mom will get you some juice."

Nie Can poured wine for his grandmother and father, and poured a glass for himself and Jiang Yi, "Come on, I wish classmate Jiang Yi a happy start to school."

"Not a proper person."

"Yeah, you're in good shape, even your wife is gone." He was quite proud of it.

The atmosphere instantly became tense again. Old Mrs. Nie was used to it. "Yiyi, I wish you a prosperous business."

"Thank you, grandma." The old and the young clinked their glasses.

Nie Xinghua: "Can you handle both studying and doing business?"

"Of course my wife can."

Jiang Yi pinched his thigh under the table. Nie Can hissed and looked at his wife with his lips pulled.

Jiang Yi ignored him and said with a smile, "Dad, don't worry, I will adjust the time."

Nie Xinghua looked at his grinning son with no expression on his face. "Do you need me to say hello to your school leaders?"

Jiang Yi felt warm in her heart, "It's no trouble. Last time Nie Can went with me to the school to see Professor Nan, I explained the situation to the school office and I can apply for off-campus accommodation."

"That's fine." Nie Xinghua nodded.

Jiang Yi pinched someone secretly again, "Let's have a drink with Dad."

Nie Can chuckled and picked up the wine glass, "I wish you and grandma good health."

Everyone clinked their glasses.

That night, Boss Nie was very considerate and drank many cups with Father Nie. Later, Jiang Yi opened another bottle...

When leaving, Chief Nie's face showed nothing, except that his face was a little red. Nie Can's face was redder than his, but he didn't show any sign of drunkenness. "Goodbye, elders."

Old Lady Nie looked at the father and son, then smiled at Jiang Yi, "Thanks to you, I have seen my grandson more times than in the past."

Jiang Yi looked at Nie Can, "Did you hear me? You have to visit grandma more often in the future."

How could Mr. Nie not give face? He smiled brightly, hooked his arm around Jiang Yi's shoulder, and said, "Listen to my wife."

Nie Xinghua glanced at them, nodded, and got into the car.

The car slowly drove out of the yard.

The neon lights outside shone in through the glass windows. Scenes from the past, along with the street scenes, flashed through Nie Xinghua's eyes. No matter how bright the lights were, they could not illuminate the sadness in his eyes.

"Do you regret it?"

"No." It's a pity.

But even if he did it again, he still couldn't guarantee that he could give her happiness.

Old Mrs. Nie asked, "Is there really no doubt about the Dongyuan car accident that year? The truck driver who rear-ended the car that night was drunk and crushed Dongyuan's car."

Nie Xinghua frowned, veins bulging on the back of his hand. "We checked everyone we could, it was just a traffic accident."

"Alas." Old Mrs. Nie said regretfully, "If it weren't for this incident, you and Mingming wouldn't have broken up."

"Mom, don't talk about the past. We have reunited as a family now, and she is living a happy life."

Old Lady Nie thought, but you are not happy, "She doesn't know about Can'er's engagement yet, do you think you need to tell her?"

A soft light shone in Nie Xinghua's eyes, "It would be best if Nie Can himself said this."

"He has complaints about his mother, but he probably won't say it." Although Old Lady Nie didn't want to disturb her, she still had to be the one to cure Chen Jue.

Otherwise, Chen Jue would not be content and would cause trouble.

Here, after Jiang Yi let Xiao Guozi go to bed, she packed up the things she would need for reporting in tomorrow, and came out to the living room, only to find that Boss Nie was missing.

When she went to the yard, she saw white smoke rising from the recliner. A man was lying on it with his legs crossed, his eyes dim and no one knew what he was thinking.

Hearing the noise, he immediately put out his cigarette and looked over.

Jiang Yi walked over and moved a chair to sit opposite him. "Boss Nie, do you want to hear my financial plan?"
