As Xu Kezhi was talking, he suddenly laughed:

"Xiao Rang really looks like his father. I also watched your live variety show. It was quite interesting. It must have been very hard to act."

After she finished speaking, she seemed to remember the content of the show and laughed uncontrollably.

Xu Xiu looked at her, and the smile on his lips gradually faded.

Xu Kezhi seemed to be unaware of it and continued to ask:

"You guys are really good at acting. By the way, why did Mr. Shen agree to cooperate like this? To stabilize the shareholders? So he needs a stable and happy family?"

There was still a smile on her lips, but the words she said were extremely harsh.

Xu Xiu put down his chopsticks and looked at her quietly:

"Shen Xingyi will be here in a few days. You can ask him in person what benefits the production team gave him to make him cooperate so well."

The smile on Xu Kezhi's face froze.

She seemed to have just understood, looked a little annoyed, and said embarrassedly:

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was just joking. I'm usually quite tactless when I talk, don't mind it, Xu Xiu."

"It's really quite inappropriate. It's very different from the well-behaved Xu family that I remember."

Xu Xiu's clear and light voice made Xu Kezhi's face change suddenly.

She was just being modest and self-deprecating, but she didn't expect Xu Xiu to actually admit it.

And what does it mean that she is very different from the well-behaved Xu family? Does it mean that she has no rules?

Xu Ke was a little angry for a moment.

But she was the one who started it, so I could only force a smile:

"It seems that I am not good at speaking and I made you angry. I will drink a glass of wine as punishment."

As he said this, he poured himself a full glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Huaizhi finally spoke, and he looked at Xu Xiu with some embarrassment:

"Sister Xu Xiu, don't be angry. My sister is like this sometimes. She offends people with her words, but she doesn't mean any harm."

Xu Xiu didn't say anything, but picked up the chopsticks again and picked up a piece of mutton for the little kid.

She is not stupid, she can tell whether Xu Kezhi was just saying it casually or not.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she defined the process of Xu Xiu and Xiao Douding participating in the program as acting. The implication was that Xu Xiu and Shen Xingyi had a bad relationship, or that Xiao Douding and Shen Xingyi had a bad relationship.

If she was really curious about the relationship between Xu Xiu and Shen Xingyi, she could just ask directly, just like Xu Yunian, Xia Shuyu and others were also curious and suspicious, but everyone's original intention was to show concern and worry for her.

But Xu Kezhi was not like that, she had obvious malice in her heart.

So Xu Xiu didn't want to save her face at all.

Seeing the atmosphere becoming subtle, Xu Lan was at a loss as to what to do. He could only chew the lamb ribs in big mouthfuls, and occasionally give a big piece to the little kid.

After a moment of silence, Xu Kezhi started laughing again.

Xu Xiu couldn't help but admire her psychological quality.

But soon, she turned her attention to Xu Xiu again.

"It seems that I don't know much about variety shows. I saw people online saying it was a play and took it seriously. As a result, I misunderstood Xu Xiu and Mr. Shen."

She finished her words with a smile, and then changed the subject:

"But then again, the Shen family is very wealthy. In a place like Yanjing where there are many hidden talents, their business is second to none. Since Xu Xiu was able to marry into such a family, she probably doesn't think highly of a local enterprise like ours."

At this point she suddenly paused, and looked at Xu Xiu as if she had thought of something:

"However, it seems that you have already divorced. Are you planning to remarry soon?"

Xu Xiu twitched the corners of his lips slightly, and glanced at her for a moment:

"No comment."

Xu Xiu's four merciless words made Xu Kezhi completely unable to hold back, and the smile on his face disappeared completely.

Xu Lan looked at Xu Xiu, and his admiration for Xu Xiu increased silently in his heart.

Very cool.

If you don't want to answer, just refuse directly. Don't care about social etiquette at all and let others think whatever they want.

When will she be able to do this?

Xu Lan couldn't help but think.

In fact, Xu Xiu was not a difficult person to talk to. He suddenly became aggressive because he noticed Xu Kezhi's unfriendly attitude.

Although she seemed to be asking about the relationship between her and Shen Xingyi,

But in fact, Xu Xiu had keenly grasped the key point of her words.

What she cares more about is the relationship between Xu Xiu and the Xu family's business.

Xu Xiu guessed that the 15% of shares that Mr. Xu gave him still made many people dissatisfied.

But since no one was saying it clearly, she naturally just played dumb.

The meal ended unpleasantly.

On the way back, Xu Lan felt a little apologetic:

"Sister, I didn't know Xu Kezhi and the others were coming. If I had known, we would have gone to another restaurant for dinner."

"No, this one is delicious."

Xu Xiu was quite satisfied with this dinner. As for Xu Kezhi and the other two, they were just spice for the dinner.

Xu Lan felt better when he saw that she was not angry.

After they returned to the Xu family's ancestral home, Old Lady Xu asked Xu Xiu to go to the place where Xu Yujia once lived.

Led by a servant, Xu Xiu set foot in the place where his mother grew up for the first time.

"I haven't been here for a long time. When Jia Jia first left, I would cry for a long time every time I came. Then my health gradually deteriorated, and the old man was afraid that I would be saddened by the past, so he stopped letting me come."

Old Mrs. Xu touched every piece of furniture here carefully, feeling heartbroken.

Sometimes she hated her husband for being so domineering and tyrannical, forcing her daughter to leave home and suffer so much, until she finally lost the courage to live.

Sometimes she hated herself for being so weak that she couldn't even protect her own daughter.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Fortunately, the daughter that Gaga gave birth to with great effort is still alive.

"Child, no matter what we give you, you must keep it well. Even if you hate us, please accept it all. Just think of it as making up for the debt we owed you."

Xu Xiu was stunned for a moment, looked at the pleading expression of Old Mrs. Xu, and finally nodded in agreement.

Perhaps Xu Lan had already told Old Mrs. Xu what had just happened in the restaurant.

Xu Lan might not understand what was going on, but how could Old Madam Xu not understand?

She was afraid that Xu Xiu would reject the Xu family's advances towards her.

But in fact, she was worrying too much.

Ever since Xu Xiu took over the equity transfer, he never thought about returning it.

Although she does not need this help now, since it originally belonged to Xu Yujia, she will naturally keep it well.

Old Mrs. Xu talked for a long time and finally talked about Xu Xiu again.

"I heard that Mr. Shen will also attend the birthday party in a few days. Is that true?"

After seeing Xu Xiu nod, she couldn't help but ask:

"Then between you..."

Old Mrs. Xu didn't know the inside story between Xu Xiu and Shen Xingyi, so she was always careful not to touch them, for fear of hurting Xu Xiu.

But she was afraid that Xu Xiu would follow in her mother's footsteps, so she couldn't help but worry.

Faced with this question, Xu Xiu's answer is:

"No matter what, he is Xiao Jean's father."

Just at this time, Shen Xingyi called.

When Mrs. Xu saw this, she smiled knowingly:

"It's late. I'm going to go back and rest first."

After everyone left, Xu Xiu picked up the phone.
