Sui Peng saw Father Liu close the door and smiled again: "Sister-in-law, I really didn't plan to do anything. It's almost the end of the year, so I wanted to treat your family and our family to a meal.

By the way, I'm telling you about the salary increase. What else can I think? Come on, sit down, the food will be served soon.

Sui Peng smiled and looked at Liu Yuanyuan again, the smile on his face becoming more sincere: "Oh, this is Yuanyuan, it's been a long time since I last saw you, you've grown into a big girl.

I heard from your dad that you are doing very well in school. Come on, sit down and have a drink and take a break."

The man and woman beside Sui Peng remained silent. The young man, in particular, kept his head down, fiddling with a Rubik's Cube, turning it left and right, but he hadn't been able to put it together since Liu Yuanyuan saw him.

The woman next to the man looked about the same age as Sui Peng. Liu Yuanyuan guessed that she might be Sui Peng's wife.

She said nothing, but just looked herself up and down with a smile.

However, her gaze made Liu Yuanyuan feel uncomfortable all over, as if she were a commodity to be sold at a price.

Mother Liu was pulled into the house by Father Liu, but she was still standing there and didn't want to sit down.

Mr. Liu had no choice but to pull Liu Yuanyuan and let her sit next to him.

He then said to Mrs. Liu, "Xiu Ling, this is a happy occasion. Please sit down. Don't spoil the fun for everyone. Just consider it a favor for me, okay?"

Mother Liu snorted and stood there for a while before finally throwing her bag onto a chair and sitting down next to Liu Yuanyuan. She sneered and said, "Okay, I'll give you this favor. I want to see what you're up to. Is it what I think?"

In an instant, the private room became awkward again.

If it were based on her personality in her previous life, Liu Yuanyuan would definitely say a few words to lighten the atmosphere, or find an excuse to take her mother out and hide for a while, and come back when the food was served.

But in this life she trusted her mother's judgment so she didn't react at all, but just lowered her head and played with the tablecloth in front of her.

She also felt that this matter was not that simple. After all, Cui Xue had called and wanted to deal with her parents. It was impossible for her to change her mind just because her mother had a quarrel with Xiang Zhiqiang.

Maybe this meal was a Hongmen Banquet.

It was Father Liu who was the first to feel the embarrassment. He quickly poured himself a glass of wine, then walked over to Sui Peng with the bottle. He poured Sui Peng a glass of wine and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry, Old Sui. We've had some problems at home recently. Your sister-in-law was in a bad mood and spoke a little harshly. I'm sorry for your kindness."

Sui Peng lowered his head and glanced at the wine glass, a trace of disdain flashed across his eyes, but when he looked up, his face was instantly filled with smiles: "Hey, Brother Liu, what are you talking about?

I think your sister-in-law is right to have doubts. I have treated you unfairly over the years. After all, it was me who brought you out to start this auto repair company.

So this time, I must satisfy my sister-in-law. Brother Liu, please sit down quickly. What are we supposed to do with each other? "

Liu Yuanyuan raised her eyebrows. Mother Liu wanted to say something else, but the waiter opened the door and started serving the dishes.

Mother Liu stopped for the time being.

Afterward, Father Liu and Sui Peng clinked glasses, enjoying themselves. Mother Liu and Liu Yuanyuan, on the other hand, said nothing, simply lowered their heads and ate heartily. The man and woman across from them remained even quieter.

Although Liu Yuanyuan was busy eating, she was still keeping her eyes and ears open.

She found that the man opposite her was constantly spinning the Rubik's Cube and didn't even touch the food on the table.

The woman next to him kept feeding him. The most important thing was that he only seemed to react when the food touched his mouth, but his reaction was just mechanical: he would open his mouth and not even take the initiative to eat. He had to wait for the woman to stuff the food into his mouth.

The act of chewing food seemed to be subconscious. The whole person's state felt very strange. This reminded Liu Yuanyuan of the doctor's description of Qingqing's stupor.

This made Liu Yuanyuan curious about the man opposite her, and she couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

The woman sitting next to the man had probably been keeping an eye on Liu Yuanyuan. Seeing Liu Yuanyuan glance at the man a few more times, she immediately smiled and said, "Yuanyuan, right? I heard from Dapeng that you're a freshman in high school and doing well academically. What are your plans for the future?"

Liu Yuanyuan smiled politely and said, "I don't have any plans. I'm just like any other student. I'll take the college entrance exam and get into an ordinary university."

I don’t have any big goals, I just want to find a job that can support myself and my parents.”

The woman smiled even brighter after hearing what Liu Yuanyuan said, and became more friendly: "That's good too. Girls don't need to pursue such a high level of education. Just having an education and finding a decent job is enough. The most important thing is to marry into a good family."

Hearing the woman mention this, Mother Liu, whose expression had just relaxed, became gloomy again, but this time she didn't say a word.

The woman continued to speak to herself, "I'm your Uncle Sui's wife. Just call me Aunt Zhang. This is your Uncle Sui's nephew. He's 27 years old. He used to be a smart kid, but he got sick right before the college entrance exam, and he suddenly became like this. Please don't despise me."

Liu Yuanyuan quickly waved her hands and said with a polite smile, "Ah, no, no, I'm just a little curious." But she felt strange in her heart. She didn't know why Sui Peng had not introduced this man and this woman to them since he entered the door.

When the woman heard what Liu Yuanyuan said, she sighed happily twice: "Hey, hey, that's good, that's good."

Liu Yuanyuan nodded and said nothing more. The woman then began to feed the man attentively.

This made Liu Yuanyuan even more puzzled.

This man is Sui Peng's nephew. Why is Sui Peng's wife so attentive to him and takes such meticulous care of him? And why would she bring this strange nephew along for a dinner like this?

Mother Liu, however, kept sneering at the side, even putting down her chopsticks and secretly pulling at Liu Yuanyuan's hand. She couldn't quite grasp what her mother meant, but she became even more cautious.

After Liu's father and Sui Peng had three rounds of drinks, Sui Peng blushed and laughed, patted the man next to him and said to Liu's father, "Brother Liu, you know what's wrong with my nephew, and we have no choice.

Sometimes his parents are busy, so I have to take care of him. Yuanyuan, if you have time, come and play with your brother Mingxuan. The doctor said that his IQ is probably that of a two or three-year-old child.

This time, Mother Liu finally spoke up: "Forget it, my daughter Yuanyuan has to go to school anyway, so she's very busy. She doesn't have much time to look after the child. We've almost finished eating and drinking today, so we should get ready to leave."
