After all, the girl was still young. Even if she wanted to disguise her emotions, even if she tried to maintain a forced smile on her face, her words and actions still revealed a sense of loss. Even Xiao Zheng couldn't hide it from him. But because this dinner was a family dinner, the girl's family didn't say anything, so he didn't ask in front of everyone. He was afraid that Xiaozhu would be embarrassed, and he was also afraid that Lin Huayin would scold him for being nosy.
Because Ye Yuhua was a monk, she didn't drink wine and meat, so there were only three people drinking. In addition, Lin Xiaozhu drank very quickly. She actually drank more than half of the dozen bottles of beer. Xiao Zheng rushed to drink, but he didn't drink three bottles. Lin Huayin did not like to drink to begin with, so she only managed to drink one bottle. The dinner table seemed lively, but it was filled with an awkward and strange atmosphere. It was very strange.
"Come, this cup is for brother-in-law!" Lin Xiaozhu said with a blushing face.
"For what?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile. His eyes were full of pity. Just what kind of obstacle did this lass encounter? She was determined to get herself drunk.
"Does sister-in-law need a reason to toast brother-in-law?" Lin Xiaozhu raised her glass and said with blurred eyes.
"Sister-In-Law toast me, I have to drink no matter what. But there is a reason why Brother-in-law drinks more happily. "Xiao Zheng said with a smile. He tried to slow down the frequency of Lin Xiaozhu drinking.
"That's because my sister can find such a good man like brother-in-law!" Lin Xiaozhu said. "Is this reason enough?"
"Yes. Of course it's enough. "Xiao Zheng smiled and raised his glass. "Come, this is brother-in-law's toast to you."
"Drink!" Lin Xiaozhu raised her head and drank, as if she was drinking water, which made people feel distressed.
Lin Huayin saw her sister torturing herself like this. She couldn't help but pull Lin Xiaozhu, who continued to pour wine, and said with a frown, "Stop drinking. You're drunk. "
"I'm not drunk!" Lin Xiaozhu pushed Lin Huayin away and said in high spirits. "Sister, I'm very happy for your birthday! And I'm even happier to find such a good brother-in-law for me. You can't care about me today. No one is allowed to control me! "
After saying that, he picked up the bottle and poured it into his mouth, drinking unrestrainedly. Xiao Zheng's heart ached when he saw this, and he was tempted to persuade her.
Lin Huayin was not good with words, nor did she know how to persuade people. In addition, he vaguely guessed the reason for Lin Xiaozhu's drunkenness, but he didn't know how to persuade him. Similarly, based on her understanding of Lin Xiaozhu, although this girl was usually very sensible, she was also an extremely stubborn and rebellious girl. When she decided on something, the more people tried to persuade her, the more stubborn she became. He wouldn't listen to anyone.
Lin Xiaozhu continued to drink, and Xiao Zheng also continued to accompany him, not daring to make a sound, let alone persuade him. Ye Yuhua just sat at the side with a smile. She didn't say anything, didn't persuade him, and didn't drink. She was like a female Bodhisattva smiling at everyone, her eyes filled with wisdom.
Suddenly.
Just as the table was in full swing, someone suddenly shouted in the dining room.
"Clear the area! Everyone else, get out! "
Then, more than ten cool young men in suits walked in from the door. The leader was a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old. His physique was very strong, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. His whole body emitted a crushing flame, as if he could punch back the sky if it collapsed. His aura was extremely powerful.
That voice was not shouted by him, but by a cool young man next to him. As soon as he finished speaking, many of the more timid customers left one after another. Some of the more daring and drunk customers staggered towards this group of people. However, after saying a few words, these drunk customers instantly sobered up and fled the restaurant with their tails between their legs, not daring to stay any longer.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the hundreds of guests in the restaurant were almost cleared. Only Xiao Zheng's table didn't get up. The group of extraordinary young people also seemed to ignore this table, just cleaning up the nearby guests. Even the waiters rushed to the back kitchen, not daring to show their heads.
Finally, when all the guests had left, the middle-aged man ordered people to guard the door of the restaurant, and then walked towards Xiao Zheng and the others. His face was cold, and his eyes were indifferent.
He hated Xiao Zheng, but he wasn't here for revenge today. On the contrary, he needed Xiao Zheng to cooperate with him and do him a favor.
The middle-aged man strode to the side of the table, and a cool young man immediately brought a chair and placed it behind him. His actions were quick, and it was obvious that he wasn't an ordinary person.
"My name is Xue Renyi." The middle-aged man sat down, lit a cigarette, and said with a serious expression. "Xue Gang is my eldest son."
After a simple self-introduction, he stared at Xiao Zheng with a burning gaze, and said word by word, "Are you willing to do me a favor?"
Straightforward enough.
But being straightforward did not mean that it was pleasing. Xiao Zheng didn't like it. Especially when this person actually smoked in front of his mother-in-law.
After all, even Xiao Zheng didn't dare to smoke in front of his mother-in-law. What right did he have? Just because his background was powerful enough?
"Nonsense," Xiao Zheng said with an indifferent expression. "Do you usually think with your toes?"
Xue Renyi's expression didn't change as he said, "You hit my eldest son, and my second son. According to common sense, I won't let you go, and I'll kill you at all costs. But now, I'm willing to reconcile with you. As long as you're willing to do me a favor. Or should I say, do my eldest son a favor. "
Xue Renyi really had no other choice.
If he could find a better way, he definitely wouldn't ask for Xiao Zheng's help.
The higher-ups were investigating and investigating his eldest son's responsibility. Lu Jun was fanning the flames behind his back, wanting to destroy his eldest son in one go. Logically, as a person in the system, Xue Gang should have used his connections and found someone with more power to settle things. But this time, even if he found someone with more power, he wouldn't be able to change his son's political fate. This was because the person who wanted to mess with his son was a political enemy in the system.
Unless someone could prove that his son didn't do anything wrong, at least not a big mistake. Lu Jun also said that only if Xiao Zheng was willing to stand up for Xue Gang, could he prove Xue Gang's innocence.
Therefore, Xue Renyi came here and used an extremely blunt method to plead with Xiao Zheng. He hoped that he could help his eldest son.
There was no longer any hope for his second son. Xue Gang's ups and downs represented the Xue family's future, and he didn't want Xue Gang to be unable to recover because of this mistake.
"Is there something wrong with your head?" Xiao Zheng put down his wine glass and stared calmly at Xue Renyi. "Or is it that my ears aren't good, and I heard wrongly?"
Xue Renyi's expression darkened slightly. He pursed his lips and said, "You didn't hear wrongly."
"Then you must be crazy," Xiao Zheng said indifferently. "Your second son found trouble with me, and your eldest son wanted to kill me. Now, you're actually using the condition that you won't kill me as a condition to ask me to help your eldest son? Tell me, how much of a coward do you think I am to agree in front of my wife, sister-in-law, and mother-in-law? "
