Do you like to eat it?

Chapter 48 048

Lu Xiuyuan fell silent.

He looked at Xia Bei's slightly flushed face from nervousness and anger, and for a moment he didn't know how to respond to her words. He looked at Xia Bei with strangeness and distance, as if he had never known Xia Bei before. Same with this person.

In the middle of Xia Bei's speech, she gradually lost her voice.

For some reason, she was suddenly stunned by Lu Xiuyuan's stare, and subconsciously touched her face: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Lu Xiuyuan opened his mouth, and what he said was a completely different topic from before: "Do you want to marry Dad?"

Xia Bei was stunned for a while, although she felt strange in her heart, but due to Lu Xiuyuan's sudden change of attitude, she still replied honestly: "Of course I do, how can you be called a husband and wife if you don't get married? And your father has already said, after you take over The burden on his shoulders is to marry me."

Lu Xiuyuan smiled: "I think he is just delaying time."

Xia Bei frowned: "What are you talking about?"

"He has never really considered marrying you. What he said is just to appease you and delay your time. Otherwise, a self-centered person like him would not be able to put his marriage on his children." Having said that, Lu Xiuyuan paused, with a self-deprecating arc on the corner of his mouth, "It's like you are delaying my time, and you have never really considered leaving this deformed home, but you have lied to me time and time again, making me willing to stay. Here, fighting for your future and mine, but you never thought of leaving with me."

"..." Xia Bei opened her eyes slightly, and stared at Lu Xiuyuan with incredible eyes.

Lu Xiuyuan looked indifferently.

Xia Bei, however, seemed to have been stabbed to the point, her eyes were stained a little scarlet, and her voice was trembling: "How could you say that about me? I'm your mother..."

Lu Xiuyuan suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, showing a coldness, he said: "You have always been my mother."

"..."

Xia Bei stared blankly at Lu Xiuyuan's cold eyes, with a strong premonition lingering in her heart.

She opened her mouth slightly, and before she had time to say anything, she found that several of them had already arrived at the restaurant, and the Mo family couple walking in front also slowed down.

Mother Mo turned her head and saw Xia Bei's complexion was not very good, she came over with concern and asked, "Are you okay? Is there something wrong?"

"I'm fine." Xia Bei forced a smile, looked at Lu Guozhen who also turned his head, and closed his mouth embarrassingly.

The servants had already prepared the dinner, which was neatly arranged on the dining table, with all the colors and aromas.

The two families also took their seats.

Lu Guozhen intentionally arranged Lu Xiuyuan and Mo Zi together, before they approached, he took the initiative to say: "The two young people have not seen each other for a long time, it is good to sit together, we can catch up on the old days."

Hearing this, Mo Zi's face turned red, she pursed her lips and quietly looked at Lu Xiuyuan, but she saw that Lu Xiuyuan walked to Xia Bei's side without changing his face as if he didn't hear Lu Guozhen's words, then pulled away the chair and sat down .

From the beginning to the end, Lu Xiuyuan didn't even glance at her.

Mo Zi froze for a moment, as if she realized something, the faint smile on her face gradually froze, replaced by embarrassment that slowly grew from the bottom of her heart.

The Mo family couple stood close, and naturally noticed the movement here, and the smiles on the faces of the two of them suddenly became a little forced, and their eyes kept drifting towards Lu Guozhen.

Seeing this, Lu Guozhen was so angry that his face turned blue, and he didn't want to explode in front of outsiders. He stared at Lu Xiuyuan who was sitting on the chair with a restrained expression: "Why did you sit down by yourself?"

Lu Xiuyuan smiled at Lu Guozhen with a good temper, and said as a matter of course: "The food is ready, if you continue to be so polite, it will be cold."

Lu Guozhen was at a loss for words for a moment, and his face was extremely ugly.

"It's okay, there are no outsiders here." Mother Mo hurried out to smooth things over, "Xiu Yuan is right, if we keep being polite, the food will be cold."

Lu Guozhen snorted, and turned to Mo Zi, "You sit next to Xiuyuan."

No matter how dull Mo Zi was at this moment, she could sense Lu Xiuyuan's rejection of her. She hesitated, but after a while of hesitation, she obediently sat down.

It's a pity that Lu Xiuyuan didn't respond, as if she was a transparent person, and he didn't even turn his eyes to her side.

Mo Zi was so nervous that her ears turned red, and she always looked at Lu Xiuyuan intentionally or unintentionally when eating, and when she found that Lu Xiuyuan didn't have the slightest intention of answering her, her eyes dimmed a little, and she couldn't help but clenched the chopsticks in her hand.

They haven't seen each other for 20 years.

Mo Zi still remembered that she was only four or five years old when she saw Lu Xiuyuan last time. At that time, her parents often brought her to play at Lu's house, and she spotted the tall and thin boy from the crowd at a glance.

To this day, Lu Xiuyuan has not changed much, except that the tall, thin and lonely boy in the impression who is not very gregarious has grown into a tall, cold and restrained man.

His eyes are still the same, rarely staying on a person for more than ten seconds, and sweeping across others without any emotion, as if no one in this world can arouse his interest.

The Mo family and his wife were sitting opposite them. Mo's mother was a delicate person, and soon noticed her daughter's attention to Lu Xiuyuan. However, Lu Xiuyuan was very focused on eating, and didn't even get into the topic of them and Lu Guozhen.

Mo's mother originally wanted Mo Zi and Lu Xiuyuan to develop freely, but now it seems that her daughter is the only one who has that kind of thought, so she couldn't help feeling a little anxious, so she had to take the initiative to bring the topic to Lu Xiuyuan in a hurry.

"I heard that Xiuyuan came back from abroad early, is there something urgent?"

Lu Xiuyuan paused, then smiled politely and distantly at Mo's mother: "It's true that I came back early because of something urgent."

Lu Guozhen felt his scalp tingle when he saw Lu Xiuyuan's bland smile, and was afraid that he would say something inappropriate again, so he hurriedly interjected, "Xiuyuan hurried back when he heard that you were coming. I said there was no rush, and he was still not happy to ask him to buy a plane ticket to come back tomorrow."

"Really?" A look of surprise flashed in Mo's mother's eyes, and there was something else in her eyes when she looked at Lu Xiuyuan, "There is no need to hurry, we probably will stay here for a while."

Lu Guozhen laughed and said, "By the way, let's discuss the marriage between our two families."

Mo's mother glanced at Lu Xiuyuan who was still eating. Although she was a little dissatisfied with Lu Xiuyuan's attitude that it had nothing to do with her, she couldn't hold back the curvature of her mouth when she thought about marrying the Lu family.

Even Mo's father, who is relatively taciturn, couldn't help laughing: "I have talked about it for 30 years, but it is about to be implemented. Don't look at how happy my wife is now, I'm afraid I will be reluctant to marry my daughter."

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Mo's mother glared at Mo's father, "This is a happy event, why would I be reluctant? I will be happier than anyone else."

The elders laughed happily as they spoke.

Only Mo Zi lowered her head slightly, her whole face was as red as a monkey's buttocks, she frowned slightly, and said as if she was a little ashamed and annoyed: "Dad, Mom, I haven't even written my horoscope yet."

"Why didn't you just write it off?" Lu Guozhen raised his brows and said disapprovingly, "This horoscope has been formed a long time ago, and your parents and I drew it by ourselves. Since we have already talked about this, let's I won't go around with you anymore, in fact, when our two families meet tonight, it's just one aspect to reminisce about the past, and the other aspect is to discuss our two families' marriage."

"..."

Mo Zi's cheeks were as red as if she was about to bleed, she wanted to say something, but seeing Lu Guozhen's determined expression, she was too embarrassed to say anything, so she had to lower her head, her beating heart seemed to be going out of her throat pop out.

She bit her lip, and quietly turned her head to look at Lu Xiuyuan.

I saw that Lu Xiuyuan had put down his chopsticks and looked up at Lu Guozhen's eyes. There was a proper smile on his face, his eyes were slightly narrowed, and the tails of his eyes were long and narrow. His smile looked like a crescent moon, which made people feel good.

But for some reason, she always felt that Lu Xiuyuan's smile was not from the heart, even a little fake.

There was a completely different coldness in his eyes.

"I didn't expect such a happy event in our family." Lu Xiuyuan said in a calm tone, and turned his head to look at Mo Zi.

Mo Zi froze for a moment, and for the first time, she truly felt someone's gaze walking on her skin like a cold object, and the spontaneous fear instantly took hold of the high ground in her heart.

She was dumbfounded and stunned, but she didn't even dare to move.

After a while, she heard Lu Xiuyuan's cold voice again: "But I heard that Ms. Mo just returned from studying abroad and quickly took over the family's business. Ms. Mo is so outstanding, I don't know which of my brothers is worthy."

After finishing speaking, everyone's face turned pale.

Lu Guozhen couldn't take it anymore, and slapped the dining table.

There was a bang.

Most of the soup bowl was spilled, and the thick soup flowed out from the table and dripped onto Xia Bei's expensive skirt, which also made Xia Bei scream in surprise, and hurriedly got up and backed away.

The servants immediately came up with tissues.

Xia Bei took the tissue and wiped her clothes and hands indiscriminately, then took Lu Guozhen's arm, and said in an almost pleading tone: "Husband, my son is joking, don't be fussy like him."

After finishing speaking, Xia Bei turned her head to Lu Xiuyuan again, "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and apologize to your father. You are a real kid. If you feel embarrassed, don't talk. Why are you pretending to be confused?"

Xia Bei had already given enough of the steps in what she said, but it was a pity that Lu Xiuyuan just refused to go down the steps.

He leaned back on the chair with his arms folded, and looked at the angry Lu Guozhen with a half-smile, "I just asked a random question, and Dad got so excited. Could it be that I asked the wrong question?"

"Unfilial son! You have the nerve to say it!" Lu Guozhen wanted to shake off Xia Bei's hand, but Xia Bei clung to him desperately, but refused to let him take a step forward, so angry that the top of his head was about to smoke. With a goblet of wine in hand, he threw it at Lu Xiuyuan, "You just want to embarrass me, don't you? You want to fly when your wings are stiff? Let me tell you, no way!"

Lu Xiuyuan tilted his head suddenly, the goblet brushed past his face, and hit the French window glass behind with a thud, shattering all over the floor.

This movement frightened Mo Zi to scream, and hurriedly got up and walked to the Mo family couple.

Lu Xiuyuan was fine, but the wine in the glass spilled all over Lu Guozhen's hands and clothes, and the liquid soaked the light-colored clothes into deep patches and shallow patches, which looked very funny.

Lu Xiuyuan stood up slowly, looking at the wonderful angry expression on Lu Guozhen's face expressionlessly, as calm as admiring a clown.
