Seeing Chen Xi emerge from the side with a smile, Wang Xiwu could not help but be taken aback.
Is he …
Is he not allowing his wife to shake hands with other men?
To be honest, Chen Xi's action was indeed a little rude, and it would make him seem very narrow-minded.
After all, it was a social occasion. Wang Xiwu wanted to shake hands with Qin Ruoying, who was meeting for the first time, only out of courtesy.
But Chen Xi's reaction …
Wang Xiwu was stunned for a moment, and he could only smile awkwardly, then he turned to shake Chen Xi's hand.
They were all friends, and Chen Xi had attended his and Fang Lei's wedding before, so Wang Xiwu naturally could not be angry over such a small matter.
"Mr. Chen, you're so lucky. Your wife is so beautiful, and she gave birth to such a cute and obedient daughter for you. I'm so envious …"
Wang Xiwu smiled and said a few polite words to Chen Xi.
But after Chen Xi heard this, he looked at Wang Xiwu thoughtfully, then replied with a fake smile, "Thank you."
After that, he withdrew his right hand.
Such an impolite behavior really made Wang Xiwu a little confused.
Luckily, he had a good temper. If it were a hot-tempered second-generation rich kid, he would have flipped out and smashed the bowl …
What kind of attitude is this?
Chen Xi's behavior made the atmosphere a little awkward, and at this time, Fang Lei's voice suddenly came from the side.
"What, Yingying is beautiful, but I'm not?"
She glanced at Wang Xiwu with a smile that was not a smile. She put on a jealous look, which immediately livened up the atmosphere.
"Beautiful! Of course you're beautiful! Your dorm mates are all very good-looking! "
Hearing this, Wang Xiwu immediately laughed, and then went with the excuse Fang Lei gave him.
Then, Fang Lei asked everyone to take a seat, and the topic finally returned to the three women.
Qin Ruoying chatted with Fang Lei for a while. When the waiter came to ask if the dishes could be served, Qin Ruoying seemed to have thought of something. She quickly asked, "By the way, Xuanxuan, where's your boyfriend? Why don't I see him? "
Hearing this, Lin Xuan immediately explained with a smile, "He has to work overtime tonight, so he can't make it. I'm sorry …"
"It's nothing, Xuanxuan. I was just asking."
Qin Ruoying nodded. She and Chen Xi were both unemployed, so she naturally had to understand the difficulties of office workers, so she didn't continue to ask.
"Where's Lulu? Didn't you call her? "
"She said she would rush over as soon as she got off work. She should be here soon."
Fang Lei looked down at the time on her phone and found that it was almost six o 'clock in the evening, so she turned to look outside the door.
Sure enough, not long after her voice fell, two figures walked in from outside the door.
One of them was Wang Lu, and the other …
It was Li Xiuwen, who came uninvited.
The moment she saw Li Xiuwen appear, Lin Xuan frowned a little unnaturally.
Qin Ruoying noticed the strangeness on Lin Xuan's face, but she couldn't figure out the relationship between them, so she asked softly, "Xi, is that Wang Lu's husband?"
"Uh, no, he is Wang Lu's boss. He can be considered as Lin Xuan's suitor. He has been pursuing her for several years …"
"Oh …"
Hearing this, Qin Ruoying nodded thoughtfully.
She hadn't participated in such a social occasion for a long time. It felt so complicated …
After Wang Lu and Li Xiuwen entered, they went straight to the second floor.
Li Xiuwen's family and Fang Lei's family had some business dealings, so when Fang Lei got engaged, Li Xiuwen also received an invitation.
In a sense, all these years, because of Wang Lu, Li Xiuwen and Fang Lei could be considered friends.
Therefore, when Li Xiuwen came to the second floor, he went straight to Fang Lei and said to her with a smile, "I heard from Lulu that you're having dinner here today. Coincidentally, I don't have anything going on tonight, so I wanted to shamelessly come over and freeload a meal. You don't mind, right?"
"Of course not, please sit anywhere."
Then, Fang Lei pointed to the empty seat on the side.
Li Xiuwen seemed to be very familiar with Wang Xiwu, so after greeting everyone with a smile, he sat directly next to Wang Xiwu.
Lin Xuan just so happened to be standing opposite him.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan's face suddenly turned cold.
Without saying a word, she got up and sat next to Qin Ruoying, then pulled Qin Ruoying aside and whispered to her.
As the host, Fang Lei saw everything clearly.
Therefore, she could only sigh silently in her heart.
It was a dormitory gathering, why did it suddenly turn out like this?
Fang Lei booked a Western-style long table banquet tonight. The distance between each seat was very wide, so during the meal, there was a clear dividing line on the table.
On one side was Chen Xi's family of three and Lin Xuan.
On the other side was Fang Lei and her husband, followed by Wang Lu and Li Xiuwen.
Wang Lu tried to lead the topic to Lin Xuan several times, but Lin Xuan acted as if she did not hear at all. She was focused on serving the little guy food, making the little guy happy.
Dinner began under such a strange atmosphere.
Ever since Li Xiuwen appeared, Lin Xuan did not speak loudly.
Everyone could see that she was very unhappy tonight.
Seeing Lin Xuan's bad attitude, Li Xiuwen's patience seemed to have reached its limit.
Therefore, after a quick dinner, he directly said goodbye.
Wang Lu could not stop him. In the end, she could only send him off with Fang Lei.
Li Xiuwen stood outside the entrance of the residence. He looked at the second floor where Lin Xuan was with a complicated expression. Then, as if he had finally made a decision, he put away the smile on his face and turned to leave quickly.
Looking at Li Xiuwen's back as he left, even Fang Lei could not help but scold Wang Lu.
"Lulu, what's wrong with you? Is this how you flatter people? You know that Xuan Xuan doesn't like Li Xiuwen! Do you really think that Xuan Xuan will be moved by your efforts to let Xuan Xuan meet Li Xiuwen?! Don't be stupid, okay! If you continue to interfere with Xuan Xuan's feelings, we can't even be friends anymore! "
After saying that, Fang Lei went back to the residence angrily, leaving Wang Lu standing outside the door in a daze.
It was a dormitory gathering, but she turned it into a failed blind date …
The dinner ended in this extremely unpleasant atmosphere.
Wang Lu drove back by herself. Lin Xuan came by taxi, so Fang Lei offered to give Lin Xuan a ride, but was rejected by Lin Xuan.
Qin Ruoying held the little girl's hand and stood beside Chen Xi. After watching Lin Xuan get into the taxi and leave, she asked curiously, "Xi, what's wrong with you? I feel that you're a little weird tonight … "
Hearing that, Chen Xi smiled and shook his head. He held her hand and said softly in her ear, "I feel that something big is going to happen tonight … How about this, you bring Niannian back first, I'll go check on the situation. I'll be back soon."
"Something big?"
Qin Ruoying was stunned for a moment, then a worried expression appeared on her face.
Seeing that, Chen Xi smiled and touched her cheek. He comforted her gently, "Don't worry, I'm here …"
