At seven o'clock, Luo Zhenghai returned home and saw his wife and two children. He nodded and said, "You are all back."
"Dad." "Dad." A boy of about sixteen or seventeen and a little girl about ten years old shouted.
"Lao Luo, what are we going to do for dinner today?" His wife Zhao Feiqian walked up, took the briefcase from his hand, and asked.
Luo Zhenghai unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and said, "Just cook a few home-cooked dishes yourself."
Daughter Luo Xining cheered, "Yeah, I haven't eaten my mother's cooking for a long time."
Luo Zhenghai couldn't help but be moved when he heard this. He walked over and picked up his daughter, saying, "Why, do you think the food cooked by your Aunt Guan is not tasty?"
The little girl shook her head, then nodded. "It's delicious, but not as delicious as mom's."
"You're really good at talking." Luo Zhenghai pinched her nose and said with a smile, "You don't offend anyone."
“That’s what it is.”
Luo Xining looked at his brother who was sitting opposite him without saying a word, pulled Luo Zhenghai's clothes and said, "Dad, my brother got the first place in the class in the midterm exam this time. Is there any reward?"
"Yeah?"
Luo Zhenghai looked at his son who looked like him, and the smile on his face faded. He asked him, "What reward do you want?"
When Luo Xiyu heard his father's words, the pimples on his face turned red, and he whispered, "Dad, no need. I don't need anything."
Luo Zhenghai looked at his shy appearance, his eyes darkened slightly, and said, "If you want something, just ask for it openly, don't act like a little girl."
"Dad, I..." Luo Xiyu's face flushed a little.
Luo Xining was a little anxious and said hurriedly, "Brother, didn't you say last time that you wanted Dad to take our family out for a trip? Did you forget?"
When Luo Zhenghai heard his daughter's words, his expression eased and he said, "Okay, when your summer vacation comes, we'll go to Hawaii for a few days."
"Really?" Luo Xining's eyes lit up.
Seeing his daughter's excitement and his son's anticipation, Luo Zhenghai thought about how he had been busy with work over the years and had not been with them much, so he softened his heart and said, "Really."
"You promised us, so don't go back on your word. I'll go tell mom." Luo Xining jumped off the sofa and ran to the kitchen.
A smile appeared on Luo Zhenghai's face, thinking that the company's affairs were gradually getting on track, and it was time to take some time out to spend time with his family.
…………
On the road, a yellow Porsche was driving on the highway, not very fast.
"My father later married a woman and had a son named Luo Xiyu, who is sixteen years old this year and in his second year of high school. He also has a nine-year-old daughter named Luo Xining, who is in the second grade." Luo Xiyun was talking about his father's family.
Chen Xu suddenly remembered what she said last time, that her mother had been dead for ten years, and he seemed to understand something. No wonder he felt that her relationship with her father was a little strange.
"Actually, I haven't seen them either."
Luo Xiyun was holding the steering wheel when he encountered a red light. The car in front of him stopped and said, "After my mother passed away, I was taken away by my grandmother. Not long after, I heard from my aunt that he married another woman. Then I found out that he was supporting another woman behind my mother's back. They have a son..."
When Chen Xu heard this, his heart trembled. He wanted to hold her hand, but stopped halfway.
"I don't hate him." Luo Xiyun looked at the red light's ever-changing countdown and said, "But I can't forgive him."
Chen Xu just listened quietly without saying a word.
“Almost there.”
I don’t know how long it took, but the car drove into a residential area, which was a high-end villa area.
Chen Xu thought about the location of this community and guessed how outrageous the housing prices here were. This was also more in line with Luo Zhenghai's identity.
The car stopped in front of a villa, and after getting out of the car, Luo Xiyun held his hand tightly. He could see that she was a little nervous.
Soon, the door opened, and the two of them took a breath and walked in.
…………
Zhao Feiqian received a confirmation message from the community security guard, gave a reminder, ran into the kitchen, and brought out all the dishes.
Luo Zhenghai was about to get up when his cell phone suddenly rang. Not many people knew this number. However, today was the day his eldest daughter was coming home for dinner, so he didn't want to answer the call. But after seeing who was calling, he changed his mind.
The call was from Liu Kun.
"Mr. Luo, I just got off the plane and saw that you called me. Is there something wrong?"
He asked, "Does Xiyun have a boyfriend?"
"Yes, I just confirmed this matter and was about to report it to you."
He asked again, "Who is that man? Where does he come from?"
"His name is Chen Xu, and he used to be an employee of Wanhua..."
When Luo Zhenghai heard the name, he felt very familiar with it. At this time, he heard a noise coming from outside the door, and someone had arrived.
…………
As the door opened, Chen Xu saw a woman in her thirties. She didn't look particularly pretty, but her every frown and smile was very charming.
Behind her stood a tall young man with a few pimples on his face, which made him look particularly immature. The slightly shy expression he showed when meeting a stranger made Chen Xu feel a long-lost sense of intimacy.
Next to the young man stood a little girl, her dark eyes looking at the two of them curiously.
"Hello, Xiyun. Come to think of it, this is the first time we've met officially. You're as beautiful as in the photo." Zhao Feiqian had a friendly smile on her face and her tone was natural.
Luo Xiyun didn't say anything, but Chen Xu beside her could feel her stiffness.
Zhao Feiqian looked at Chen Xu and asked, "You are Xiyun's boyfriend, right? Welcome."
"My name is Chen Xu." Chen Xu said politely.
"Xiyu, Xining, call for help quickly." Zhao Feiqian said to the pair of children behind her.
Luo Xiyu was a little embarrassed and whispered, "Sister Xiyun."
"Sister, future brother-in-law." Luo Xining was quite generous, but this title made Chen Xu a little bit amused. What did future brother-in-law mean?
Zhao Feiqian scolded, "How do you call me that? Sister is sister, why call me Sister Xiyun? And you, what do you mean by future brother-in-law?"
Luo Xiyu looked embarrassed. He didn't dare to retort, nor was he willing to change his words.
Luo Xining argued, "You can only call me brother-in-law if Dad agrees. Now it's not official, just a prospective brother-in-law."
"You have so many twisted ideas." Zhao Feiqian said helplessly, "I have spoiled my daughter. Come on, let's talk inside."
After all, Chen Xu was in an awkward relationship, so he didn't dare to say much. After entering the house, he found that it was not as magnificent as he had imagined. The decoration style was quite simple, and it had a more lifelike atmosphere.
Soon, he met Luo Xiyun's father, the helmsman of a business empire, who looked quite majestic. At this time, he was listening to the phone in his hand, and when he looked over, his heart was startled when they made eye contact.
There was a hint of anger in Luo Zhenghai's eyes.
When had he ever offended this big guy? He was a little puzzled.
"Lao Luo?" Zhao Feiqian quickly noticed his abnormality and called out.
Luo Zhenghai put down his phone, with a frosty face, pointed at the door and said coldly, "Let him out."
The atmosphere in the hall froze instantly.
