Chapter 223: Dinner Party with Different Thoughts
Su Weiyu arrived late during dinner time. When everyone sat down at the table, she moved a chair over by herself, and then took out the most delicious hotel meals she had packed from outside, and put them on the table one by one, saying as she did so: "I knew that Aunt Zhang only had a few dishes to cook, and they were too light, so I specially went to get some other dishes!"

Beef Wellington, French onion veal soup, matcha ice cream and various flavors of snow cones, as well as a big bucket of freshly squeezed juice and ice-cold Coke Sprite.

Su Wei Yu was proud of her attentiveness. Her way of pleasing others was rather simple, which was to give the other person something they liked. So the first thing she thought of when she got home was that dinner might not be sumptuous enough, and it must be all Chinese food. Although it must taste good, according to her observation, Xia Shou still preferred to eat sumptuous dishes.

Therefore, after playing with the dog for a while, she went straight to various well-known hotels to grab food, and she has just returned now.

"Awesome! I was wondering why you suddenly disappeared, turns out you went to pick up takeout."

Xia Shou saw the food he liked, stretched his hand across most of the table, carefully reached for a steak, then wanted to get up to scoop the soup, but felt that this was too rude and would seem ungentlemanly in the eyes of the two uncles and aunts.

"Let me help you!" Su Weiyu came to Xia Shou, took the bowl and scooped up a large spoonful of soup. "What kind of drink do you want?"

"Juice bar." Xia Shou deliberately lowered his voice, feeling inexplicably nervous and uneasy.

He was always affected by a very strange feeling. Although he and Su Weiyu usually got along so casually, now he was at Su Weiyu's house and asked Su Weiyu to help pick up food in front of her parents. It always felt very strange, even though Xia Shou knew that none of them could see Su Weiyu.

"Brother Xia Shou, why don't you eat? The braised pork ribs made by Aunt Zhang taste great." Su Yue picked up a piece of food with chopsticks for Xia Shou.

Snapped!
Su Weiyu patted Xia Shou's shoulder hard. Xia Shou took out a mirror and looked at Su Weiyu behind him through the reflection.

Her face was full of smiles, her eyes were sparkling, and she looked so excited as if she had just heard her daughter calling her mother.

"Xiaoyue calls you brother! You two have a good relationship. I was a little worried that you two wouldn't get along." Su Weiyu sighed softly and looked at Su Yue, "It's been a long time since I heard her call me sister in person."

"Hmm? So it's possible that it's not face to face?" Xia Shou grasped the key point sharply.

Su Weiyu tapped her chin and said complacently, "I found a way. Because Xiaoyue has a sister in a TV series, I edited all the clips of her calling her sister in that drama, and I listen to them sometimes."

Xia Shou thought that if he had known this earlier, he would not have asked. It sounded so pitiful... The key point was the happy expression on Wei Yu's face when she talked about this, which made her feel even more pitiful.

"Come on, come on, Xia Shou, eat more." Su's mother also picked up some food for Xia Shou.

"Oh, thank you, Auntie. I can do it myself." Xia Shou thanked her while holding the bowl.

Su Zhengyi asked: "Xia Shou, uncle may be a little curious. Can you tell me if anyone in your control bureau has resigned? There are always some people who resign and return to ordinary life due to injuries or personal reasons, right?"

“A lot of people, in fact, basically won’t work in the control bureau for a long time without some reason.

A senior of mine said that there are only three types of people who will work in the Control Bureau for more than three years. One type is the person who, due to abnormal reasons, must rely on an organization like the Control Bureau to survive.

One type is people who are extremely short of money.

The other type is a madman who can’t get used to a peaceful life and is only suited to this kind of suicidal work.”

"Then who are you?" Mother Su looked at Xia Shou expectantly, as if she really wanted to know the answer to this question. Xia Shou hesitated for a moment, and then thought that there was nothing wrong to say, so he said, "I am the first type, and I stayed in the Control Bureau for some unspeakable reasons."

Su Zhengyi's eyes darkened instantly. This was the answer he least wanted to hear.

He had just noticed that his daughter was interested in Xia Shou, and from Xia Shou's attitude towards them, he could also tell that Xia Shou also had a very good impression of Su Yue. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why a young man who was a stranger to them and whose social status was no less than theirs would be so humble and polite and take the initiative to put himself in the position of a junior.

If the disadvantage of high-risk occupation is excluded, Su Zhengyi is very satisfied with Xia Shou, and he even has such a talent as his ideal son-in-law.

Just the calmness and composure shown by Xia Shou that day are enough to overwhelm 99% of the men in this peaceful society. If we talk about the mental pressure that entrepreneurial bosses endure every day.

Then the pressure that Xia Shou bears in this job is one hundred.

Bankruptcy and debt are scary, but compared to death, they are still too light.

He felt relieved to leave his daughter to such a man.

But the problem is... Xia Shou's job is too dangerous! The job of a finisher is not just high-risk, it's more like a lottery to die.

As the dinner progressed, it started to rain heavily outside, just as the weather forecast reported.

Su Yue immediately said, "It's raining heavily outside. Does Brother Xia Shou still have work? If not, stay at my house tonight. There are other empty rooms at home."

Su Zhengyi frowned even more tightly and glared at Su Yue with some displeasure.

What does the rain matter? Let his driver take Xia Shou back. From the time he gets on the car to the time he gets off, I guarantee that the kid won't get wet by a single drop of rain.

But since Su Yue had spoken like this, he couldn't object, otherwise it would be like ordering him to leave.

"That's troublesome." Xia Shou agreed casually. His attention was all on Su Weiyu's words. She said she would take him to visit her bedroom.

This reminded Xia Shou of the time when he secretly went to his friends' houses to play. By visiting their bedrooms, he could understand their daily life at home after school. When he saw their toys and figures, and the novels they read, he would get to know them better.

Xia Shou didn't notice at all that everyone present, except himself, had their own thoughts.

Su Weiyu was grateful for the sudden heavy rain, while Su Yue was thinking seriously about how to carry forward the next plan that had been arranged long ago. Su Zhengyi and Lin Xue were worried about other things.

The dinner ended in such a strange atmosphere. During the break after dinner, Su Zhengyi wanted to have a deep chat with Xia Shou and invited him to sit in the study. However, Su Yue said that she wanted to talk to Xia Shou about some work of the Control Bureau, so he had to give up.

"Brother Xia Shou, let's go to the studio and talk. I heard that you seem to be learning painting recently?"
