Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

"So this is why you haven't been willing to come back to see us for all these years?"

After a dinner with a strange atmosphere, Father Lin called Li Xu to the study, while Mother Lin forced Lin Xi to sit in the living room.

Li Xu looked at Father Lin, who was sitting in an armchair in front of him and looking at him seriously. He bowed again respectfully and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, uncle. I have been willful and reckless over the years and failed you and aunt's love for me."

Although Father Lin was sitting, his aura was extremely oppressive. Just like the nickname Lin Xi privately gave him, he looked like a majestic and solemn feudal old man.

Looking at Li Xu, who was respectful, full of remorse, and wished he could bow his head to the ground, his usually elegant and gentle face seemed to be frozen with frost, without any emotion.

"Since you know that you have let me and your aunt down, then why don't you just go all the way to the end and walk away from it? Then why do you come back now?" Father Lin adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose. The pair of narrow fox eyes behind the lenses reflected a cold light of scrutiny.

"The New Year is coming soon, and I want to come back with Xixi to see you guys..." Ever since the day he was with Lin Xi, Li Xu had rehearsed the scene of facing Lin's father and mother countless times in his mind. But now, facing his uncle who was looking at him coldly, Li Xu still didn't dare to look him in the eye.

"Oh! If you had this intention, you wouldn't have shown up once in the past ten years." Hearing Li Xu's hesitant answer, Father Lin sneered and pointedly exposed his vague words, "Look at Xixi's attitude towards you at the dinner table just now. I'm afraid she finally waited for you, the prodigal son, to return. She said she came back to see me and your aunt, but in fact she is a young couple coming back to meet her parents."

"I'm sorry, uncle. I have been so unkind to Xixi over the years. It was my blindness, ignorance, and cowardice that caused her sadness and pain. Now I want to be with her and make it up to her. I hope you and aunt can..." Li Xu spoke sincerely, but he was interrupted mercilessly by Lin's father halfway through his words.

"Don't even think about it." Father Lin's eyes were as sharp as knives and his tone was firm.

"Xixi is the only child of your aunt and I. We raised her like a treasure and I never had the heart to say a harsh word to her. Do you think your aunt and I didn't see the relationship between you two?

"I just thought that since you grew up under the watchful eyes of your aunt and I, we would feel relieved if you were with us. Who would have known that the child we watched grow up would turn out to be such an ungrateful person!"

"You said you liked Xixi, so let me ask you, if you liked her, why did you make her sad? Not to mention the night of her coming-of-age ceremony. You were still young at that time, so I could also think that you were young and ignorant.

"But when something happened to you and the phone was unreachable, she, a little girl, traveled thousands of miles to look for you. On such a cold night, you refused to even show your face?"

"That night she called your aunt and cried all night, saying that she was very worried about you, but couldn't contact you and was so anxious that she almost called the police. After she came back from Shanghai, she was sick for a week. During this period, you didn't even call her. Is this what you call liking and loving you?"

"If the love of all men in the world is so cheap, then your aunt and I would rather Xixi never get married. We can support her for the rest of her life."

At this point, Father Lin seemed to think of the grievances his daughter had suffered over the years, and his tone became a little emotional. Fortunately, his many years of experience as a judge allowed him to maintain basic composure, and he refrained from punching Li Xu in the chest, thus venting his anger for his precious daughter.

When Li Xu was being blacklisted by the entire Internet, someone found out his phone number and posted it online, causing him to be bombarded with calls and text messages from extreme fans.

In order to prevent these people from taking more extreme actions, Dong Ge took the initiative to help him change his mobile phone number, which resulted in the situation that people who knew him at the time could not get through to his mobile phone number.

Because he didn't want to implicate Lin's father and mother, he completely cut off contact with them and naturally knew nothing about Lin Xi's situation.

After the two were together, Lin Xi never told him what happened during the years when they had no contact, so it was the first time he heard from Lin's father that Lin Xi had fallen seriously ill after coming to see him.

But he knew that all this could not be an excuse for him to exonerate himself. He had already memorized Lin Xi's phone number and had it engraved deep in his mind. Although he had changed the mobile phone number bound to WeChat, he had never been willing to delete the only way for them to contact each other. As long as he wanted, he could call that familiar number at any time and ask about Lin Xi's recent situation, but he didn't.

Now that he suddenly realized that she had suffered such a great injustice, for a moment, regret, sorrow, heartache and guilt filled his heart, making him regret so much that he almost couldn't keep his balance.

"What? Didn't Xixi tell you all this?" Seeing Li Xu's expression change drastically after what he said, and the look as if he wished he could die to atone for his sins, Father Lin suddenly felt that the anger in his heart had dissipated a lot.

But he changed his mind and seemed to have thought of something. His expression, which had just eased a little, became a little ugly again. He glanced at Li Xu and snorted coldly, "She's probably afraid that you'll feel guilty and don't even know how to tell her when you've been wronged."

"I'm sorry, uncle..." Li Xu's emotions were churning, but facing Lin's father, he could only repeat his apology.

"What's the point of saying sorry to me? The one you should say sorry to the most is Xixi." Father Lin didn't appreciate it at all.

Outside the door, Mother Lin and Lin Xi pressed their ears against the door, trying to hear clearly the conversation between the two people inside.

"What are they talking about? Why can I only hear Grandpa Lin's voice?" Lin Xi leaned over and squinted his eyes to listen for a moment, then asked in a low voice with some doubt.

"It seemed like he was saying something like 'ungrateful bastard', 'don't even think about it', 'what's the use', 'cheap man'." Because the door panel was so good at soundproofing, Mother Lin only heard a few vague words.

After hearing the last word, Lin Xi's eyes widened in surprise, and he lowered his voice and said, "You curse so badly? I haven't seen you for a few years. Mr. Lin's cursing skills have improved."

After saying this, he patted his chest with a sad heart, as if he had survived a disaster, "But it's okay, if you scold Li Xu, you can't scold me."

Although according to Lin's father himself, he had never said a harsh word to Lin Xi, but only Lin Xi herself knew what it felt like to be criticized for being in love for two hours in a sarcastic tone by a judge father who was well-versed in both Chinese and Western culture and good at quoting classics.

Mother Lin looked at Lin Xi's winking expression and patted her head. "If your father hears you, you won't be able to escape."

Lin Xi quickly put on a begging gesture and pestered Mother Lin for a long time, only then did the noble Ms. Li agree to help save Li Xu from the dire situation.
