Even after the food was served, the private room remained eerily quiet.
Shi Xi looked at this, then at that.
They didn't even dare to touch their chopsticks.
Xie Yunzhou raised his glass to Tao Boli and said, "Thank you for your help this time. If you need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."
After all, Tao Boli did more than just help him.
He is still Shi Xi's biological father.
Tao Boli responded and drank his wine. "Let's eat. Aren't you hungry?"
Hua Wenyin knew that Tao Boli had helped the two children, so she refrained from confronting him and channeled her grief and anger into her appetite.
Shi Xi vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
But it's not easy to ask.
Tao Boli's attempts to strike up a conversation failed, so he could only drink one glass after another.
Xie Yunzhou initially stayed with Tao Boli, but seeing that Tao Boli was getting drunk, he quietly replaced his own wine with water.
After finishing the meal.
"Take Uncle Tao home, he seems a bit drunk." Shi Xi noticed the awkward atmosphere at the table, left Xie Yunzhou there, and pulled Hua Wenying away.
Tao Boli was drunk, but still somewhat conscious. Seeing Hua Wenying about to leave, he raised his hand to pull her back, saying, "Don't, don't go..."
Hua Wenyin left without looking back.
Shi Xi glanced at Tao Boli in surprise.
Xie Yunzhou calmly said, "You and your aunt should go back first. I'll take him."
"Okay, contact me if anything comes up." Shi Xi followed Hua Wenying's steps, her mind filled with a million questions.
Once in the car, Shi Xi tentatively asked, "That Uncle Tao, is he—?"
“No.” Hua Wenying seemed to know what she was going to ask, and said coldly, “Your biological father died long ago.”
Shi Xi: "...I see."
Before she could even ask, Hua Wenying gave this answer.
It's really a bit bewildering.
On the other side.
After getting drunk, Tao Boli took out his phone and dialed Hua Wenying's number.
But he had already been blocked.
Tao Boli then used a new phone to make the call.
The other party refused to answer.
Tao Boli reached out to Xie Yunzhou: "Lend me your phone."
Xie Yunzhou had a headache.
One is his future father-in-law.
One is her future mother-in-law.
We can't afford to offend either of them.
"Why don't we call her tomorrow?" Xie Yunzhou advised. "You're drunk now, and she won't listen to your explanation."
“An explanation, yes, an explanation. I’ll write her a letter explaining.” Tao Boli took a pen out of his jacket pocket. “Do you have any stationery?”
Xie Yunzhou was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll take you back; you have some stationery at home."
Right?
Tao Boli grabbed a napkin from the table and started writing furiously.
He wouldn't budge even when urged to go back.
Tao Boli only stopped writing after he had filled three large napkins with his writing, still feeling unsatisfied.
"Okay, this is for Wen Yin." Tao Boli neatly folded the napkin. "Where's the envelope?"
Xie Yunzhou's lips twitched slightly. "When I go to mail the letter, I'll put it in an envelope as well."
"Okay, thank you." Tao Boli said earnestly, "You're such a good person."
Xie Yunzhou: ...He doesn't really need this "nice guy" card.
Fortunately, Tao Boli still knew he had to go back, and he got into the car with faltering steps but firm determination.
Xie Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
It's too difficult.
Looking at the three large sheets of napkins in his hand, Xie Yunzhou felt even more troubled.
What should we do?
Are you really going to send it?
Never mind, it's my duty to be loyal.
If Hua Wenying truly has no intention of reconciling, then this additional letter won't make any difference.
Xie Yunzhou even bought an envelope and put the "letter" inside.
When they arrived at the Hua family manor, Shi Xi saw him and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you going back to rest?"
"I miss you, and I don't want to be home alone." Xie Yunzhou reached out and twirled the girl's hair. "Would you like me to stay the night?"
