Chapter 130 A Little Bit of Scheme
Regardless of whether he misunderstands Zhenzhen, please let him continue with his blind prejudice.
Because Lu Jin knew very well that the longer Song Heng disliked Zhenzhen, the more he would want to take back the treasure he had missed when he finally realized it.
But by then, he had already become the person Zhenzhen hated the most.
So, that was indeed an unimportant person.
The seating arrangement during the meal was also quite interesting.
Tang Susu naturally sat next to Grandpa Xia, while Song Heng sat on her other side.
Sitting on the other side of Grandpa Xia was Lu Qi.
Sitting next to Lu Qi was Xia Yu.
Normally, even when the two of them were eating at the same table, Xia Yu would want to stay as far away from Lu Qi as possible. But today, in order to create the impression that they were future in-laws, Xia Yu endured her disgust and made a huge sacrifice by sitting next to Lu Qi.
It has to be said that Xia Yu's mere presence with Lu Qi convinced Old Master Xia, who had been observing silently, of most of the truth.
Grandpa Xia knew his son Xia Yu well. Xia Yu might admit defeat to everyone else, but he would never admit defeat to Lu Qi. From childhood, Xia Yu had said that he hated Lu Qi extremely.
But now he can actually sit with Lu Qi. Apart from the fact that it's about the children of the two families, Old Master Xia really can't think of anything else that could make Xia Yu and Lu Qi reconcile.
Lu Jin and Xia Zhen were the last to arrive at the dining room. They had no choice but to sit together reluctantly.
So the person on Xia Yu's other side was Xia Zhen, and the person next to Xia Zhen was Lu Jin.
The dishes, all beautifully presented and deliciously presented, were served. Grandpa Xia picked up his chopsticks first, and only then did the others take theirs.
Xia Zhen glanced at the shrimp and clams that were placed far away from her. She wanted to eat them, but they were too far away.
Just as Grandpa Xia reached for the prawns with his chopsticks, Xia Yu had already taken the plate of prawns away.
Xia Yu said sternly, "Dad, you can't eat seafood, be careful of gout."
Then, he placed the plate of shrimp in front of Xia Zhen.
Old Master Xia snorted, "At least you still care about your father."
The old man was clearly quite happy inside, but on the surface he still maintained that serious and aloof demeanor.
Grandpa Xia reached for the plate of clams again with his chopsticks, "I haven't eaten seafood in a long time, it's okay to eat some occasionally."
“No.” Xia Yu took the plate of clams away again and placed it in front of Xia Zhen. He said without compromise, “When you had your last physical examination, the doctor said that you should avoid certain foods.”
"You can't eat this, you can't eat that, what do you mean?!"
Xia Yu said, "I care about you, my dear. This family can't do without you."
Grandpa Xia snorted heavily again and complained to Lu Qi beside him, "Brother Lu, look at my son. He's usually too lazy to even answer my calls, but now he remembers what I can't eat."
Lu Qi smiled, "That means Xiaoyu has you in her heart."
Xia Zhen munched on a clam and nodded in agreement.
Lu Jin put the peeled shrimp into her bowl. She ate the shrimp and gnawed on the clams. No one present was happier than her.
Xia Yu glanced at Lu Jin, who was serving Xia Zhen her meal, and felt a pang of regret. This kid really put on a convincing act. It wouldn't be bad if he and Zhenzhen were really together.
No, of course not!
Lu Jin has a congenital genetic disease, and his daughter is so outstanding that Lu Jin is still somewhat unworthy of her.
What's more, he also has a sick father.
Xia Yu felt a chill run down his spine at the thought of the day Lu Qi would call him "in-law".
Seemingly sensing something, Lu Qi looked at Xia Yu and gave her a friendly smile.
No, that's even more disgusting.
Xia Yu silently moved her stool further away from Lu Qi.
Grandpa Xia looked at Xia Zhen, who was eating heartily, and then glanced at Xia Yu with some suspicion.
Xia Yu placed a plate of vegetables in front of Grandpa Xia, saying, "Dad, eat something light; it's good for your health."
Grandpa Xia looked up and said, "Just try not to upset me."
Even so, he still obediently started eating the vegetables, after all, they were vegetables that his son had brought him out of concern.
Tang Susu looked at the bland soup in front of her, then glanced at Xia Zhen sitting opposite her, who was enjoying her meal, and couldn't help but feel a little envious.
Song Heng remained silent; he couldn't taste any flavor in the delicious food on the table.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little strange.
Grandpa Xia cleared his throat and said, "This time, Su Su and Song Heng both got into B University through their own efforts, which is very good."
Xia Yu nodded, "B University is also a key university, and not just anyone can get in. Su Su and Song Heng are really amazing, unlike my Zhenzhen, who only got into A University."
Grandpa Xia was stunned. "What did you say? Who got into A University?"
“Zhenzhen”.
Grandpa Xia looked at his eldest granddaughter with a shocked expression.
Song Heng paused slightly. He remembered that Xia Zhen should have been admitted to the same university as him. How come she went to University A now?
Xia Zhen was engrossed in eating when she noticed the stares from others. She took the tissue Lu Jin offered and elegantly wiped her mouth. Then, she smiled humbly and said, "I just answered the questions very normally. I don't know how I got in."
Lu Qi also said modestly, "It's quite a coincidence that my son and Zhenzhen got into the same university. If Zhenzhen hadn't discussed study problems with my son every day, my son might not have been able to get into such a good school."
Xia Yu sat up straight. Of course, not everyone in this world can have such an outstanding daughter as him.
Tang Susu originally thought that getting into Peking University was already an extraordinary achievement, but now that she heard that the two people sitting in front of her had been admitted to the best universities in the country, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
She used to think that the only thing she could do better than Xia Zhen was to excel in academics.
Grandpa Xia glared at Xia Yu, "Why didn't you tell me that Zhenzhen got into such a good university!"
Xia Yu said, "I posted it on my WeChat Moments."
"I didn't see it!"
"Because I blocked you."
Old Master Xia clutched his chest, breathing rapidly, "Xia Yu, you unfilial son!"
Just as Tang Susu was thinking of comforting Grandpa Xia, who was having trouble breathing, she suddenly heard him shout again in a strong voice: "Send me a photo of the admission notice! I want to post it on my WeChat Moments!"
Tang Susu: "..."
Xia Yu lowered his eyes and drank his tea, pretending not to hear.
Lu Qi also drank tea and poured a glass of juice for his son.
Lu Jin brought the juice to Xia Zhen's lips, but Xia Zhen took a sip and shook her head, saying, "No, I don't want any more."
She wanted to save room for shrimp and clams.
Song Heng's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
But then Lu Jin brought the glass of juice to his lips; it was the glass that Xia Zhen had drunk from earlier.
It was a subtle gesture, noticed only by Song Heng, who was paying attention.
Xia Zhen picked up a meatball and put it into Lu Jin's bowl, mouthing, "Grow muscle."
Lu Jin smiled faintly and mouthed a single word back to her: "Okay."
Noticing the gaze from the other side, Lu Jin looked over and politely nodded slightly, as if to greet them.
Then he put the meatball his girlfriend had put on his plate into his mouth.
It's a subtle display of ostentation, something only those of the same sex can understand.
Song Heng chuckled, just as the young man and woman opposite him seemed ridiculous and laughable.
But he genuinely, inexplicably, felt a surge of irritability.
