Chapter 111 This Damn Moon
So, that night, Li Xiaowen carefully prepared a table of dishes and looked at her "masterpiece" with a smile. After seeing Xiao Jue, her good mood disappeared instantly.
Li Xiaowen smiled a little reluctantly. After saying hello to Xiao Jue, she pulled He Huanxi to the other side and asked, "Why is Xiao Jue here?"
He Huanxi pretended to be stupid, "Can't he come over? I happened to meet him in school, so I invited him over."
Li Xiaowen glared at her: "Didn't you tell him that today is a family gathering, which is special?"
Of course He Huanxi said so, and he predicted that this family gathering would be difficult, so he even called Xiao Jue over to share the burden!
If there is an outsider here, the mother will be more restrained and won't keep catching her to discipline her, right?
To be honest, He Huanxi was still a little confused about her mother's previous theories about making tea, drinking tea, brewing tea and how to find the right tea for her.
If her mother continues to educate her with one thing this time, then she is really...
Run away!!
Compared with Li Xiaowen's surprise, He Kang was very happy about Xiao Jue's arrival.
Xiao Jue also runs a company and is his junior. She listened to him patiently, much more patiently than those young people.
Facing junior peers, He Kang can't help but brag about his achievements. The more he brags, the higher he gets, and the happier he is.
In the end, He Kang drank a little too much and directly pulled Xiao Jue to call him brother-in-law.
"You have such a good temper. If I were ten years younger, I would have the shamelessness to recognize you as my brother. I'll give you a thumbs up!"
"Come on, come on, keep drinking, there's not enough! Uncle, I have a lot of treasured wine here, and I'm usually reluctant to drink it, but if you come and drink it, it's totally fine, keep drinking it!"
He Huanxi and Li Xiaowen sat across from each other on the sofa, staring wide-eyed wondering how the situation had inexplicably turned into what it was now.
It seems that when eating, the whole family does not talk and is relatively quiet. My mother has also changed her strategy and does not hold family gatherings at the dinner table.
After finally finishing the meal quickly, Li Xiaowen was about to say something when her father took Xiao Jue's hand one step ahead, came to the sofa, and talked to him about his business experience.
If that's all, forget it. Men can talk to men, and women can talk to women.
Why Kangbu!
He not only wants men to chat with men, but also bosses around his wives.
Now he says, "Honey, where are the tea leaves I treasured?", then "Honey, where is the wine I treasured?", and then continues, "Honey, make me a bowl of sweet soup to drink."...
When He Kang was drunk, he became a big man and showed off his coquettish skills.
Li Xiaowen stared at him with wide eyes at first, but in the end, she was helpless.
Being disturbed by her father, He Huanxi successfully escaped.
That night, Li Xiaowen had no time to care about her, let alone hold her hand and talk about life lessons.
Later, when Xiao Jue saw that it was getting late, he took the initiative to leave, and this conversation of "drinking and talking happily" officially ended.
He Kang was not willing to let Xiao Jue go. It was rare for him to see a junior who looked good, spoke just right, and was considerate in everything. Suddenly, the care from the elders burst out. He pulled Xiao Jue and asked him to stay tonight in the villa.
There are many houses.
It’s really hard to refuse such kindness.
Xiao Jue refused three times, but when He Kang invited him for the fourth time, Xiao Jue wanted to agree.
Fortunately, at the last moment, he caught a glimpse of Li Xiaowen's face.
The expression on Li Xiaowen's face was a little strange. It couldn't be said to be good-looking, nor could it be said to be ugly.
Looking a little embarrassed.
Xiao Jue changed what she was about to say and refused sternly: "No, Uncle He, I have opened a hotel in a nearby hotel, so I won't bother you!"
He Kang heard this and stopped trying to persuade him. He said with some regret, "Hey, next time you come to my house, you don't have to go to a hotel to open a room. You can come and stay at my house directly."
Not knowing what he thought of, he continued: "By the way, just call me Brother He. Don't be formal. I'm not that old."
But Xiao Jue was unexpectedly persistent in this regard.
"Uncle, you are also a business owner. You entered the industry so many years before me. I have to call you uncle to feel at ease. Uncle He, I will come see you next time when I have time."
Xiao Jue took the initiative to end the recurring questions, nodded to He Huanxi and left.
He Huanxi was in a daze, thinking about one thing.
It was Li Xiaowen who stared at her, patted her hand, woke her up, and told her to go out and see Xiao Xiao off.
He Huanxi ran out quickly.
She caught up with Xiao Jue, winked at him, and said jokingly: "Okay, Comrade Xiao, if you don't show your real face, you won't be a real person if you show your face! Why didn't I know that you are so good at pleasing the elders?"
When Xiao Jue came to her house before, her father could only admire him a little and treat him as a junior.
But today is different. My father directly wants to become sworn brothers with someone.
He Huanxi watched the whole process and felt that if speaking skills and language skills could be divided into levels, level ten would be the full level, and then Xiao Jue's speaking skills would be comparable to level nine!
The reason why it's not a full level is that He Huanxi can't imagine what it's like to be at a full level. Level nine is enough to make people feel magical.
As one of the people at the scene, He Huanxi discovered for the first time that Xiao Jue was so good at talking.
As expected of someone who also invested in the company.
As long as he wants to, he can completely make people forget his identity, easily lead people to open their hearts, and is very charming in guiding people.
Xiao Jue smiled faintly and asked instead: "Did Aunt Li tell you anything?"
He Huanxi's eyes were crooked, like the bright moon in the sky, and she said with a smile: "No, she didn't have time to say anything. Thanks to you today, I was able to escape smoothly."
Xiao Jue: "That's good."
Walking on the path with him, He Huanxi's calm heartbeat suddenly became a little nervous.
Maybe the atmosphere is very beautiful, maybe the moonlight tonight is very sultry.
He Huanxi always felt that the Xiao Jue walking on the road was wrong. It should be Xiao Jue illuminated by the moonlight. There was a strange magic power exuding all over his body. Unexpectedly——
Seductive.
He responded to her requests, took care of her matters personally, and went out of his way to please her parents and elders... Maybe Xiao Jue also cared about himself a little deep down, right?
This made her heart feel a little anxious, but she was soon suppressed by a sense of bitterness.
She felt that she should be being sentimental.
If she could use an animal to describe her mentality at this time, it would be an ostrich mentality.
The more you expect, the more you fear getting hurt.
He Huanxi raised her head and glanced at the moon, hypnotizing herself in her mind: The moonlight must be so good tonight, so it gave her the illusion that "others also care about her" and "others also like her".
