Chapter 225 Squeeze

Life is lonely like snow, and Xu Mingyuan himself is a rough man.

He used to work in real estate, and he had the aura of a nouveau riche. Even though he is low-key now, he is quite casual about life.

But his adoptive father Xu Jun was different. He grew up in a state-owned enterprise compound and experienced the early period of reform and opening up when he was young. Comparison and extravagance were the norm, so he inevitably paid attention to ostentation.

Fortunately, Xu Jun has a good image and temperament, and with an honorary title, he is suitable for working in the public relations department.

Xu Mingyuan tried to comfort himself in his heart. His father was in his forties and was already middle-aged. He couldn't be completely useless, right?

Xu Mingyuan, with a look of pain on his face, drank two cups of tea and put them on the table.

The girl was scared when she heard the story about the trading room, so if she didn't tell it, Xu Jun didn't know what to say for a moment.

Xu Jun came back so suddenly that no one was prepared for what happened.

"Dad, arriving home safely is better than anything else. Let's go out for a meal to welcome you back home." Xu Mingyuan stood up and said.

"Hey."

Xu Jun nodded and stood up.

"Brother, you can eat at home. We have everything at home. You don't need to go out..." Yang Zhi said eagerly.

"Yes, it's better to be at home. I'll go cook two dishes and we can get together as a family."

It was rare for Xu Jun to return home, and he didn't want to go out at all, so he continued the girl's words.

"I'm fine with that, Dad. Don't bother cooking. Just order the food."

Seeing that the vote ratio was one to two, Xu Mingyuan simply called 114, asked for the hotel number, and ordered a set meal for 1288.

After all, he is his own father. Xu Mingyuan would never do such a thing as just cooking and frying eggs.

It was very slow to place a last-minute order at the hotel, and I had to confirm it several times over the phone.

After waiting for more than three hours, it was almost eight o'clock in the evening when two waiters came with thermal boxes and brought the dishes to the table.

Xu Mingyuan wanted to curse, but when he saw that his father and Xiao Yangzhi didn't say anything, he gave the waiter money and sent him away.

"Xiaoyuan, don't you drink?" Xu Jun asked.

"It's ok to have a drink. Doesn't the set meal include wine?" Xu Mingyuan picked up the glass pot on the table and found that it was filled with red plum juice. He complained, "What a lousy service. No wonder they went bankrupt. They still charge 300 yuan for service?"

In fact, this cannot be blamed on the hotel. There was no online payment in 05, and the hotel was afraid of being cheated. Even if Xu Mingyuan ordered an expensive set meal, they didn't dare to accept it.

Besides, Xu Mingyuan is not an old customer, so it’s good enough that we can deliver food to him.

"There's wine at home."

Yang Zhi opened the kitchen cabinet, took out the white liquor that she had drunk last time when she wanted to feed Xu Mingyuan too much, and put it on the table.

"Don't drink this wine. Go buy a bottle of good wine. Dad, what kind of wine do you want to drink?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Laobaigan is pretty good. Where can I get any wine in there? Let's drink this," said Xu Jun.

"The dishes have been ordered, so we won't be short of wine." Xu Mingyuan said.

"Brother, let me go."

Seeing Xu Mingyuan was about to put on his clothes, Xiao Yangzhi hurried over and put on his coat first.

"You guys eat first, I'll go. It's cold and the road is slippery, and my daughter might fall down." Xu Jun said.

"Everyone, sit down. What kind of son would ask his father to run errands for him?"

Xu Mingyuan put on his down jacket reluctantly, preparing to complete an errand job that he had not done for many years.

The atmosphere in this house was very strange. Everyone was more polite than each other. Xu Mingyuan also wanted to go outside for some fresh air.

Of course, it may also be because we haven’t seen each other for a long time. After getting familiar with each other after some time, everything will be fine.

But Xiao Yangzhi still ran out and wanted to buy wine with him.

"Brother, I'm sorry..."

Blown by the cold wind, the silent Yang Zhi finally spoke.

"What have you done to me now?" Xu Mingyuan asked puzzledly.

"me……"

Yang Zhi hesitated for a long time but couldn't explain it clearly.

Yang Zhi didn't know why she was apologizing. Maybe it was because her presence took her brother's place, or maybe it was because the atmosphere was cold and she couldn't warm up the crowd...

With so many reasons piling up, my heart is filled with confusion and discomfort, and I just want to say sorry.

"You unlucky kid, what nonsense are you thinking about? Oh, every time I see you like this, I really want to beat you up."

Xu Mingyuan put his arm around her soft shoulders, trying to make her relax.

"Brother, if you want to fight, then go ahead... You always say no but don't fight, and I'm actually a little scared, so don't hold a grudge, okay?"

Yang Zhi was conflicted. She was worried that one day her brother would ignore her once he had racked up all the bills.

"Haha, am I that petty?"

Xu Mingyuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He pulled off her hood and flicked her head hard.

"Ouch!" Yang Zhi rubbed his head, feeling the pain even through his hair. But he felt much more relieved, looking at him with sparkling eyes, he said, "Brother, it doesn't hurt."

"I think you're just looking for a beating!"

Xu Mingyuan laughed, kneaded her little face and pulled it, and all the depression in his heart disappeared.

Little Yangzhi is always like this, very good at pleasing people.

Xu Mingyuan bought two bottles of Moutai. All his stocks were Moutai, so he wanted to contribute to the rise in the stock price.

When I saw that my dad was smoking Red Panda brand cigarettes, I bought him two packs.

After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was no longer dull and Xu Jun talked more.

"Son, you are still young. You can't follow your father. When I was young, I didn't know any better and did a lot of wrong things..."

"No, can you please stop talking about this? Don't you think it's tiring? I'm tired of listening to you." Xu Jun had just done these two things, and he still wanted to lecture him? Xu Mingyuan waved his hands to interrupt, not wanting to listen anymore.

"Son, you have a promising future, different from me, that's good, that's good..."

Xu Jun picked up the glass and took a sip of wine. Not wanting to ruin the atmosphere, he didn't mention it again.

These were the topics discussed over and over again at the table. Xu Jun asked how Xiao Yangzhi was doing, and then asked how Xu Mingyuan had been getting along over the past two years.

Xu Mingyuan did not hide anything in front of his father and told him about his journey from making plug-in software to following Tao Changming to acquire a factory and start making MP4.

When the old man was the director of the state-owned plastic steel factory, his influence and the employees he managed were much greater than Xu Mingyuan's now. Although Xu Jun was surprised, he never lacked vision.

These things were mentioned during the visit, but Xu Jun didn't know them in such detail, so he asked, "Son, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Yes, yes."

"I haven't heard you say that?" Xu Jun said.

"You didn't ask either. Xiao Yangzhi contacts you every month. Didn't she tell you?"

Xu Jun didn't remember whether he had asked Yang Zhi these questions. It's possible that he had, but he forgot what her answer was. He just said, "Your son has grown up. It's good for him to have a girlfriend, but you have to remember to find a good girl. This is a lifelong thing. Don't let yourself be deceived..."

"Haha, Dad, you don't need to teach me this." Xu Mingyuan was too lazy to mock him and said, "Wait for me to arrange a young and beautiful female secretary for you, and find a stepmother to take care of Xiao Yangzhi. As for you, don't think about the past."

"well."

Xu Jun knew he was in the wrong, so he stopped talking about it.

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi lowering his head and not saying anything, Xu Mingyuan said, "Dad, Xiao Yangzhi, what are you going to do?"

"What should I do? Her mother has already adopted her under my name. This is my daughter, so she must be with me."

Xu Jun was drunk but still spoke with his eyes wide open.

"I don't mean to carry her away. I'll be relieved to have you take care of her. Xiao Yangzhi, go open the window. The room is choking."

Xu Mingyuan also had a cigarette in his mouth, ordering the tactless Xiao Yangzhi around.

Yang Zhi was worried that the two drunk people would catch a cold, so she went to open the window a little. When she came back, she did not sit next to Xu Jun, but pulled out the stool next to Xu Mingyuan.

Neither of them paid any attention and continued chatting about all sorts of things.

Yang Zhi's expression was bleak. She understood what her brother meant. He knew that he would never be able to take care of her like he did now.

Yang Zhi felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.

Although Xu Jun had a good alcohol tolerance before, he hadn't drunk for a long time. After drinking more than half a bottle of wine, he began to stagger.

"It's already past twelve o'clock? I don't want to drink anymore."

Xu Mingyuan looked at the time, gave the bottle of wine on the table to Xiao Yangzhi and asked her to take it away.

"I'm not feeling well today, let's have a good drink tomorrow..."

Seeing the wine bottle being taken away by Xiao Yangzhi, Xu Jun put down the cup and staggered to the bathroom.

"Brother, let uncle sleep in the south room at night. It's cold in the living room and he's drunk too much. It's not good to let him sleep on the sofa." Seeing that there were only two people left at the dining table, Yang Zhi looked at Xu Mingyuan and said.

"Okay, I'll sleep on the sofa then."

Xu Mingyuan was speechless. He had only raised her for less than two years, so she was not as good as Xu Jun. He had just returned for less than half a day, and Xiao Yangzhi started to chase him away.

"You can sleep in my room." Yang Zhi reminded in a low voice.

"What do you mean? You want to sleep on the sofa?" Xu Mingyuan asked.

"Hmm? Oh... I'm fine..."

When Xu Mingyuan's eyes swept over him, Yang Zhi quickly lowered his head.

"Come on, your Uncle Xu is back, what are you afraid of now? Just go back to your room and stay there."

Although Xu Mingyuan did not control his drinking today, he drank slowly and did not drink as much as Xu Jun, so his consciousness was still relatively clear.

After going to the toilet, Xu Jun curled up on the sofa and started talking nonsense. Seeing this, Xu Mingyuan and Xiao Yangzhi helped him into the room.

Yang Zhi was used to seeing Xu Jun drunk, so she wasn't too worried. She covered him with a blanket and closed the door.

"Brother, don't sleep on the sofa. I've opened the window for a long time. It's very cold in the living room. You will definitely catch a cold..."

Yang Zhi bit her lips lightly, and there seemed to be a pleading look in her eyes.

"No need."

"Please..."

……

After talking for a long time, Xu Mingyuan was fed up with her procrastination and simply pulled her into the study by the cushion.

Yang Zhi couldn't stop him, and seeing that he was determined to live in the study, she had no choice but to help him push it over.

"It's warm in the study. I'll clear the things on the table tomorrow."

Now Xiao Yangzhi had no excuse, and Xu Mingyuan felt relieved.

"Brother, wait a minute, I'll spread a mattress for you first." Yang Zhi hurried back to the room, rummaged through the boxes and cabinets to find all the summer quilts, and after spreading them out, he said, "Brother, the quilt is very thin..."

"It's already past one o'clock. Are you tired? Stop torturing me and go back to sleep!"

Xu Mingyuan snatched the quilt from her hand with a reprimand. The soft cushion was much more comfortable than the bed in the dormitory, and he was not that pretentious.

Yang Zhi quietly left the study and went to the dining room to clean up the messy table. He gathered together the leftovers that were still edible and put them in the refrigerator.

By the time she wiped the oil stains on the floor, arranged the tables and chairs, and tidied everything up, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

With the help of the light in the restaurant, Yang Zhi leaned over and looked into the study. Seeing that Xu Mingyuan was only covered with Chunqiu's quilt, she felt a little sad.

Because she was afraid that he would catch a cold, Yang Zhi had to go back to the room and get her own quilt.

But the quilt was given to her brother, so she had no one to cover herself.

The cushion is very narrow, but it doesn't matter, you can squeeze it, and your brother will understand...
