Chapter 483
"Today is a family dinner, so please don't be polite, little students!" Li Minghua said with a smile.
In fact, he could hardly laugh, and he was still in a daze.
He knew Hu Mengdie was Li Zhuangsheng's ex-wife, and she had pursued Li Zhuangsheng after her rebirth. He knew Lin Yuehua was suspected to be the object of Li Zhuangsheng's affection before his rebirth, and she helped her many times after his rebirth. This Yi Yunshui... He really didn't know her, but seeing that she was pure and beautiful, and she called Li Zhuangsheng brother sweetly, it seemed that she also had a good impression of Li Zhuangsheng.
So, what are you doing tonight? His toes were already digging together, terrified.
It's not like he hasn't seen big scenes before, but he was really afraid that Hu Mengdie and others would overturn the table and start fighting with Zhu Zhixue.
These three girls are all friends of his precious daughter? Wait, your circle... I don't understand it at all? Isn't it a bit confusing?
Li Zhuangsheng, explain this to me! What on earth is going on today? Are you targeting me and your mother?
Young people should not be too arrogant. The more beautiful women there are, the better. You cannot control too many of them!
Chen Lanying secretly pinched Li Minghua and was not very satisfied with Li Minghua's term "family dinner".
If it were someone else, there would be nothing wrong with him saying that. But although Chen Lanying didn't know who Hu Mengdie's ex-wife was, she had heard about Hu Mengdie's pursuit of his baby son, and she had also heard a lot of rumors from Li Xiuyu about how Lin Yuehua helped Li Zhuangsheng learn. As for Yi Yunshui, although she hadn't heard much about him, she could see that some of his words and actions were trying to please Li Minghua and her... He must have other intentions!
Well, it’s precisely because from a certain perspective, tonight is indeed a “family dinner” that we can’t say it!
Chen Lanying held Zhu Zhixue's hand to show her closeness and support for her.
She suspected that Li Xiuyu did it on purpose because Li Xiuyu had never brought "friends" back for dinner before, let alone Li Zhuangsheng's birthday party.
However, her reasons this time were very sufficient. She had a quarrel with Li Zhuangsheng some time ago and ran away from home, which disturbed Hu Mengdie and Yi Yunshui a lot. Lin Yuehua was Li Zhuangsheng's "master" in study and made great contributions to improving Li Zhuangsheng's academic performance. So without evidence, she couldn't say that Li Xiuyu was wrong. At most, she could only blame her for her low emotional intelligence and lack of tact.
Of course, based on her understanding of her daughter, Li Xiuyu was only afraid of chaos in the world and hoped that these four people would fight in front of her.
Unfortunately, before tonight, she only knew that Li Xiuyu wanted to invite two friends, but she didn't know who they were. If she knew the candidates in advance, she would never agree!
Thinking of this, Chen Lanying wanted to grab Li Xiuyu and teach him a lesson. However, the two of them were far away from each other, so she could only suppress her anger and wait until she got home.
However, both Chen Lanying and Li Minghua had the same thought in their minds: my son is too popular with girls!
Speaking of which, apart from Zhu Zhixue, the two liked Hu Mengdie the most among the remaining three girls. Not only because she was pretty, but also because she was gentle, virtuous and well-mannered.
She is neither as dull and cold as Lin Yuehua nor as pretty as Yi Yunshui. She is like a pitiful and harmless little white flower, and she is the type of good wife who will be suitable for the family and the family in the future.
I don’t know what happened between him and Hu Mengdie, but he threw himself into Zhu Zhixue’s arms... Li Minghua thought.
Although he could understand why Li Zhuangsheng chose Zhu Zhixue... To be honest, no matter whether a man chose Hu Mengdie or Zhu Zhixue, others could understand. But Li Zhuangsheng was not that kind of... simple and vulgar person. Although he could feel Zhu Zhixue's love for Li Zhuangsheng, Li Zhuangsheng's behavior of "abandoning his wife and children" still made him feel a little uncomfortable.
In comparison, Chen Lanying's thoughts were much simpler. Whoever her son liked and chose would be her daughter-in-law. That was why she specially pulled Zhu Zhixue to sit next to her.
These four girls probably wouldn't fight. It was obvious that they weren't the type to cause trouble... at least they wouldn't fight in front of her and Li Minghua.
If a war starts behind the scenes... then Li Zhuangsheng will have a headache first. If he can't handle it, he will definitely ask for help.
Li Zhuangsheng looked around. The round table had everyone's seats arranged in a very particular way. On his right was Zhu Zhixue, and next to Zhu Zhixue were Chen Lanying, Li Minghua, Li Xiuyu, Hu Mengdie, Lin Yuehua, and Yi Yunshui.
On the right side of Yi Yunshui is himself.
At first glance, Yi Yunshui and Li Xiuyu were the farthest apart, but although Yi Yunshui was dissatisfied, he knew very well that this was a necessary arrangement.
Neither Hu Mengdie nor Lin Yuehua could sit next to Li Zhuangsheng. Only she was the safest.
"Wow, tonight is really..."
Yi Yunshui looked around and wondered why she seemed like the only outsider... Who said I was an outsider? It was said to be a family dinner, so wasn't that a disguised way of acknowledging me?
With this Ah Q spirit, she felt a little more cheerful and she became more attentive to Li Zhuangsheng. After all, no matter how unreliable Li Zhuangsheng was, he was her only support in the Li family.
Soon, the dishes were served in the private room. Everyone seemed to finish their dinner in a friendly manner, and then took out the birthday cake that they had prepared, put candles on it, and sang a birthday song for Li Zhuangsheng.
Li Zhuangsheng wore a funny birthday hat on his head, and under the dim candlelight, he made his birthday wish: he hoped that the country would be peaceful and the people would be safe, and the weather would be good.
In fact, the reason he made such a wish was not because he was so broad-minded that he did not forget the people of the world even on his own birthday, but because he really didn't know what wish to make.
The wish he wanted most seemed to be something that could not be expressed in words, but there were too many wishes that could be expressed in words.
So just don't allow anything and worry about the people of the world.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world!
Li Zhuangsheng slowly blew out the candles, and when the lights were turned on again, he saw five beautiful faces. The four most beautiful girls in the school were here to celebrate his birthday, smiling at him. Lin Yuehua, the ugliest of the five, was also a little beauty in the class.
What kind of Japanese anime is going on? It turns out that I am really the male protagonist in the anime!
But why don’t I have the happiness I imagined back then? Is it because I have a boyfriend or because “I can no longer enjoy the joy of youth”?
Li Zhuangsheng was distributing cakes to the girls. Just as he picked up the plastic knife and made the first cut, he suddenly noticed someone's gaze.
"Ahem, Mom, the first piece is for you!" Li Zhuangsheng handed the first piece of cut cake to Chen Lanying without any expression.
"Okay, thank you, my dear son." Chen Lanying took it with a smile.
"Dad, this piece is yours..." Li Zhuangsheng cut the second piece and said, "Li Xiuyu, don't sit there anymore, give some to your friend!"
"Oh."
Li Xiuyu glanced at him and stood up with an inexplicable tone.
Very good, this avoids the century-old question of "should the first piece of cake be given to my sister or my partner first?"
Li Zhuangsheng secretly exclaimed in his heart, "Fortunately, I am smart." Life is full of knowledge! So he calmly gave the third piece of cake to Zhu Zhixue, and then cut the fourth piece to Yi Yunshui on the other side.
"Okay, okay, thank you, brother!" Yi Yunshui took the cake with both hands with a smile on his face and in the most obedient voice. At the same time, he glanced at Chen Lanying, thinking, how did I perform well tonight?
Chen Lanying noticed Yi Yunshui's gaze and became more certain that he liked Li Zhuangsheng. Li Xiuyu looked at Yi Yunshui eating the cake and smiled faintly: "You can accept the cake he gave you."
"Ah..." Yi Yunshui was startled, then smiled and said, "He is your brother after all, it's nothing!"
"I thought he was special to you!"
"What's going on?" Li Minghua noticed that there was something else behind Li Xiuyu's words.
Li Xiuyu explained nonchalantly, "Oh, she is a germaphobe and doesn't allow boys to touch her things. She also never asks for anything from boys. So I was quite surprised that she accepted the cake that Li Zhuangsheng gave her."
"Hey, there is such a thing..." Zhu Zhixue tilted her head and looked at Yi Yunshui.
Yi Yunshui's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Would Li Xiuyu misunderstand him? Of course, for the moment, being misunderstood by Li Xiuyu was secondary. Being misunderstood by Zhu Zhixue would be fatal.
Calm down, I'm not trying to steal your man! Yi Yunshui said in her heart.
"No, no, I don't have such a serious mysophobia. Xiu Yu is just talking nonsense!" Yi Yunshui quickly waved his hands with a wry smile on his face.
Really, bitch? Zhu Zhixue smiled noncommittally.
She used to be a bit of a germaphobe and was very sensitive to physical contact from others, even from people of the same sex, but she was okay with Li Zhuangsheng.
This was because she was not popular when she was young and was often bullied, beaten and scolded, so she formed a conditioned reflex. She felt uncomfortable when someone touched her, and only Li Zhuangsheng's touch could make her feel at ease.
But after interacting with Li Zhuangsheng, this aversion has become less and less, and now I can interact with Yao Xingyu and Zeng Chen relatively normally.
But it was precisely because of her own experience that she could empathize with others. She had heard about Xiao Longnu's bad experiences, and she felt that she had some similarities with her.
So, she must be a bitch, shameless, and likes other people's boyfriends.
Ahhh, why are there so many bitches in this world? Are all men dead? Why do you always stare at other people's men?
"Xiu Yu, stop talking nonsense. Your sister-in-law is still here, and you are making up stories about your brother!" Chen Lanying took action when it was time to do so and glared at Li Xiu Yu fiercely.
When Li Minghua heard Chen Lanying mention the word "sister-in-law", he instinctively glanced at Hu Mengdie and narrowed his eyes in embarrassment. Chen Lanying didn't know, but he knew that Hu Mengdie was Li Zhuangsheng's ex-wife.
Don’t say the word “sister-in-law” in front of Hu Mengdie!
Fortunately, Hu Mengdie just lowered her eyes and licked the small amount of cake on the plate. It seemed that she was only focused on eating the cake and didn't hear anything else.
I'm so tired!
Li Minghua looked at Li Zhuangsheng who was whispering to Zhu Zhixue, and wanted to kick him. Your father is worried and embarrassed for you, but you are still so calm!
He didn't know at this moment that Li Zhuangsheng was even more uncomfortable than him because of Hu Mengdie and Lin Yuehua.
Hu Mengdie never looked directly at him during the whole meal, which was very abnormal. If it were normal, she would be like Yi Yunshui and would not deliberately avoid looking at him. Although he felt that Yi Yunshui looked at him a little too many times.
In fact, the girl he was least worried about was Yi Yunshui. Although the other party had misunderstandings about what happened that year, as long as the misunderstanding was not revealed, Yi Yunshui would definitely be Li Xiuyu's loyal dog.
Li Zhuangsheng even suspected that even if the other party knew the truth in the future, she would eventually realize that she still loved Li Xiu Yu... That's how it was played in TV dramas in the past.
"I can't eat anymore~" Zhu Zhixue handed the remaining cake to Li Zhuangsheng and looked at him pitifully.
"Oh, then I'll do it."
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Zhuangsheng naturally took the remaining cake from Zhu Zhixue.
At this moment, he vaguely felt an inexplicable gaze. He raised his head suddenly, only to see Hu Mengdie, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, drinking the hotel's own tea with her eyes lowered.
"Me too..." Li Xiu Yu was secretly shocked and was about to speak when he suddenly remembered that he was right under his parents' noses, so he had to just stuff the rest of the cake into his mouth.
She did not forget her identity. Chen Lanying had already become suspicious. For the sake of her and Li Zhuangsheng's living alone, she should not be too close to him in front of her parents.
Damn Li Zhuangsheng, all the grievances I suffer today are caused by you!
After dinner, Li Minghua and Chen Lanying said they wanted to send the four girls home, but Li Xiuyu objected and said he planned to go to KTV to sing.
"It's so late, why are you still going to sing?" Chen Lanying frowned, "It's too late, go home, and sing again when you have a holiday. You still have to go to school tomorrow, right?"
"It's okay. We have a day off tomorrow morning so we can sleep in." Li Xiuyu said, pulling Zhu Zhixue's hand and shaking it slightly, "Sister-in-law, let's go sing together. Today is my brother's birthday. I just heard you sing Happy Birthday to my brother. It sounded pretty good!"
Zhu Zhixue was in a dilemma. She didn't really want to go. Even if she went, she would go with Li Zhuangsheng, not with these little bitches who coveted her man.
But in front of Li Minghua and Chen Lanying, she couldn't refuse Li Xiuyu's proposal. After hesitating for a moment, she threw the question to Li Zhuangsheng: "Do you want to go?"
"It's too late, let's not go." Li Zhuangsheng naturally understood what Zhu Zhixue meant and agreed with her.
"But I want to go sing. Today is your birthday, so what's wrong with us playing longer?" Li Xiuyu showed a bit of willfulness on his face, "If sister-in-law doesn't want to go, then you don't have to go, we can go!"
In her words, she divided people into two groups: Li Zhuangsheng and Zhu Zhixue were on one group, and she, Hu Mengdie, Lin Yuehua and Yi Yunshui were on the other group.
What are you talking about? If Zhu Zhixue doesn't go, then I won't go either, as if I value women over sisters. If this is true today, I don't know what will happen when I get home... Oh my God, it seems that my girlfriend and sister are both jealous!
"Xiu Yu, stop messing around!" Chen Lanying scolded.
"I'm not kidding. There are so many friends here, why can't I go?"
"Since Xiu Yu wants to go so much, let's go together?" Zhu Zhixue suddenly said.
