Chapter 56 Mid-Autumn Festival Reunion!
the other side!
Su family.
Because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Su Xi took Xin Xin back to her parents' home.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is a time for full moons and beautiful moons.
The whole city was enveloped in an atmosphere of reunion.
Firecrackers are being set off outside.
Su Xi was chatting with her mother, Zhang Xiuqin, in the living room while making mooncakes and dumplings.
Su's father, Su Tieshan, sat in a chair, looking conflicted.
The reason for his dilemma was the Moutai liquor he was holding.
The reason is that the wine was a gift from Chen Le.
It's genuine.
He wanted to drink, but he didn't dare.
"Dong dong dong."
There was a knock on the door.
But Su Tieshan was staring blankly at the wine bottle, completely oblivious to what was happening.
He was wondering what would happen if Chen Le caused trouble for him after he opened the bottle and drank it.
His old bones really can't handle any more of this.
The key issue is that Old Man Su has loved wine all his life, and now he has such a fine wine in his hand, but he can't drink it. His old face is really wrinkled with worry.
"Boom boom boom!"
The knocking sounded again.
"Old man, what are you standing there for? Go open the door!"
Zhang Xiuqin patted the table and urged.
"okay!"
Su Tieshan snapped out of his daze, quickly responded, and immediately got up to open the door.
I checked the time, and I figured it must be my son and daughter-in-law coming back.
When the door opened, it was indeed Su Dalong and Liu Mengmeng, a married couple.
Take a closer look.
Oh my, these two are carrying quite a few gifts!
Su Tieshan narrowed his eyes and chuckled as he scolded, "You're back, so why did you buy so much stuff!"
While changing his shoes, Su Dalong muttered, "Oh, Dad, stop nagging. They were all given to us by my workplace. Mengmeng and I couldn't finish them all, so we brought them back!"
After saying that, he plopped down on the sofa and leisurely started watching TV.
Liu Mengmeng was overjoyed to see Su Xi.
After exchanging a few jokes with her sister-in-law, Liu Mengmeng washed her hands and then joined her mother-in-law in getting busy.
The outside was filled with the noise of firecrackers.
The room was filled with laughter and conversation, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"Su Xi, how are things between you and Chen Le lately?"
Suddenly, Liu Mengmeng looked up and asked curiously.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the entire room changed.
Upon hearing Mengmeng's question, Su Xi stopped what she was doing!
His expression looked somewhat unnatural.
Su's mother was taken aback.
Su Tieshan stared blankly at the wine bottle, frowning slightly.
The entire Su family has reached the point where they turn pale at the mere mention of Chen Le.
"Sister-in-law, let's not talk about him anymore, let's have a good Mid-Autumn Festival!"
Su Xi sighed and spoke softly.
"Exactly, why bring up that bastard? Why bring up something you don't want to talk about!"
Su Dalong lay on the sofa, his eyes bulging with anger.
Su Xi glared at him and said coldly, "Brother, watch your mouth. It's true that Chen Le and I are divorced, but he's still Xin Xin's father! How can you keep using such nasty language?"
Su Dalong narrowed his eyes and gritted his teeth, saying, "Girl, are you protecting that bastard?"
Su Xi sighed and said helplessly:
"Who's defending him? He's not bothering me anymore, so why are you still clinging to him!"
Su Dalong laughed loudly and said sarcastically, "What's wrong, my dear sister? You're disappointed that this little bastard isn't bothering you?"
"What, you want to remarry?"
In an instant, Su Xi's face turned icy, and she wanted to retaliate.
But suddenly, as if struck by something, he was speechless for a moment.
"Da Long, what did Xiao Xi say wrong?"
Liu Mengmeng was very angry and tried to say a few words for Chen Le, "Chen Le helped pay for my dad's hospital bills. No matter what, he is our family's benefactor. You should at least be more polite to him!"
Su Dalong snorted coldly, adjusted his lying position, and said in a matter-of-fact manner, "What a joke, do you expect me to curry favor with that kid?!"
"He took the money himself; we didn't force him!"
"Besides, it's not like we're not going to pay it back!"
"boom!"
Su Tieshan's neck turned red with anger. He slammed his fist on the table and scolded, "Su Dalong, you little bastard!"
"They did save your father-in-law, so instead of expressing your gratitude, you shouldn't be cursing him behind his back!"
"You can at least speak like a human being! Calling me a 'dog' all the time, I think you wasted your years in college!"
Since her husband had said so, even Zhang Xiuqin offered her opinion, saying a few kind words about Chen Le.
Su Dalong felt extremely wronged.
"Why are you all coming after me now, siding with an outsider to denounce me? Is it really necessary?!"
"You weren't like this with Chen Le back then!"
"Now that he has money, he's a good person!"
"Alright, alright, I see now, you've all been bought off by Chen Le!"
"I'm not going to waste my breath arguing with you. You'll regret this!"
After Su Dalong finished speaking, he angrily turned the TV volume up to a deafening roar.
Everyone shook their heads helplessly.
Liu Mengmeng tentatively said, "Xiaoxi, Chen Le is, after all, my benefactor."
"How about... you call Chen Le today, since it's Mid-Autumn Festival, and invite him over for a meal?"
"We haven't thanked him yet!"
"It just so happens that the dates coincide with holidays and festivals, don't you think?"
Looking into her sister-in-law's sincere eyes, Su Xi remained silent for a long time.
At this moment, Zhang Xiuqin and Su Tieshan also turned their attention to Su Xi.
Su Xi didn't say anything, but put down her things, then turned and went into the room.
……
the other side!
Chen Le had just stepped out of his house when he stared blankly at the fireworks display in the neighborhood.
He plans to go home and visit his family.
It's Mid-Autumn Festival, time to go home, see your parents, and show your filial piety.
I was really busy the other day.
The film's marketing and distribution, and the banks' leverage, are all in operation.
Now that we can finally catch our breath, it's time to go back to our hometown for a family reunion dinner.
Just then, the phone rang.
Chen Le picked it up and saw that it was Su Xi!
He picked up the phone with a look of surprise and pressed the answer button.
"Chen Le, are you free today?"
On the other end of the phone, Su Xi asked a question.
Chen Le thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I was originally planning to go back to my hometown for a visit, but since Miss Su has asked, I certainly have the time."
"you……"
Su Xi blushed for a moment, then scolded, "Who taught you to be so glib!"
"Hehehe,"
Chen Le chuckled dryly twice and shifted the blame to Zhang Zihao.
If Zhang Zihao saw this, he'd probably be upset and suffer another blow.
Brother, I really didn't teach you...
However, it would probably shock them to death.
It's hard to believe that Chen Le, now a super-rich man with a net worth of 4.8 billion, is usually cold and distant to other women.
He's surprisingly good at flirting with his ex-wife!
"Um... my sister-in-law would like you to come over for a meal to express her gratitude..."
"You...come over here?"
Su Xi asked again.
"Why are you being so polite? It's all my duty."
Chen Le hurriedly said.
"Are you coming or not?"
Su Xi frowned.
"Come on, I'll go right now!"
Chen Le hung up the phone and quickly hailed a taxi.
Looking at the street scene receding behind the car window.
Chen Le smiled, but then felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
His daughter and wife haven't completely changed their minds yet.
I owe her and her daughter so much.
This trip is a must.
