Chapter 159 Bar
Zheng Pei'an made the most contribution tonight, and the juniors took turns to toast him.
Xu Jiawen couldn't help reminding him not to drink too much. She understood Zheng Pei'an's intentions and was very grateful for his care for his father over the years.
Zheng Pei'an said: "People feel refreshed when they celebrate happy events. I am used to being alone, but fortunately I have integrated into your big family. I am happy, and finally have a sense of belonging."
Xu Changshan said: "Pei'an, no one here regards you as an outsider. I have long regarded you as my son."
A son-in-law who is half the height is not as close as Zheng Pei'an even with his two son-in-laws. Maybe in the eyes of his father, the son-in-law has snatched his precious daughter away, so it is difficult to be pleasing to the eye.
Xu Changshan especially didn't like his younger son-in-law Zhen Guowei, it was his daughter's choice, he didn't interfere, but he always reserved his opinion.
Maybe because of the different regions, there is a big gap in culture, and Xu Changshan is quite disgusted with the deformed sense of superiority in his bones, but they rarely meet each other, and they have lived in peace these years.
Zheng Pei'an was quite moved, and nodded repeatedly. His parents are both passed away, and he has no brothers or sisters. Emotionally, he really regards Xu Changshan as his father. Of course, it was because he liked Xu Jiawen at first, but Luohua deliberately ruthless.
Xu Jiawen didn't like him. Later, he met her husband Zhen Guowei while studying abroad. After getting married, he went to Xiangjiang.
Zheng Pei'an knew the gap between himself and others, and he had no extravagant hopes. In his eyes, Xu Jiawen and his wife were gods and couples, but he didn't expect them to be divorced now.
It is impossible to say that there is no thought about Xu Jiawen in his heart. He didn't sleep well last night. After thinking about it all night, Zheng Pei'an realized that even if Xu Jiawen divorced, the possibility of their relationship is not great.
In these years, Xu Jiawen has been making progress, but he has almost stagnated, so let's be a friend like this. If he has any unreasonable thoughts, he won't even be a friend if he doesn't keep it.
Xu Jiaan and Zheng Pei'an are also very familiar, and asked about Zheng Pei'an's current family situation.
Zheng Pei'an said that he is still single and is used to single life.
Zhen Chundao: "Uncle Zheng, you have never been married, are you waiting for my mother?"
Everyone was stunned, and Xu Jiawen blushed even more: "What nonsense are you talking about, girl?"
Xu Chunliang, on the contrary, admired his little cousin's straight-forward character. He laughed and said, "Teacher speaks without restraint, speaks without restraint!"
Zheng Pei'an said: "It's not that I'm not married, I was married and then divorced."
Xu Jiawen looked at his daughter coldly, if she dared to tell about her divorce, he would never end with her.
Fortunately, Zhen Chun didn't dare to talk nonsense this time. Her mother repeatedly told her not to make grandpa sad. There is already a divorced family in the family, and there is another one, and the old man may not be able to accept it.
Zhen Chun said: "Uncle Zheng, why are you divorced? Don't you have any children?"
Zheng Pei'an shook his head: "My ex-wife is a hot Miao girl with a very hot temper. We got married within a week of knowing each other, and divorced within half a year."
Xu Changshan sighed and said, "I don't understand you young people who treat marriage as a trifle and don't think about why you want to get married. Once you get married, you have to be in charge, and you can't easily divorce."
Zhen Chun was full of curiosity: "Uncle Zheng, tell me, why did you get divorced in the first place?"
Xu Chunliang found out that this little cousin has a gossip heart, he was worried that Zheng Pei'an would be embarrassed, so he took the initiative to help out: "The relationship is not good."
Zhen Chundao: "This is the most favorite excuse used by scumbags."
Everyone laughed, this time when it comes to Xu Jia'an, he said that children's words are unscrupulous.
Zheng Pei'an smiled and said, "You said everything."
Xu Changshan hadn't been this happy for a long time. Xu Jiaan made a video call to his younger brother Xu Jiaxuan.
In the video, Xu Jiaxuan is in his office in Manhattan. He greets his father first. Seeing a big family gathering together, Xu Jiaxuan expresses envy. In fact, he calls his son every once in a while, but Xu Chunliang doesn’t answer. Xu Jiaxuan thinks his son He was angry with himself, but actually Xu Chunliang didn't want to call him father.
Xu Jiaan used the camera to scan several young people one by one, and Xu Jiaxuan called out their names one by one.
Because the three of Zhen Chun and the others traveled to North America together last year, and as an uncle, he received and accompanied him throughout the journey. On the contrary, he was a little stranger to his son. Xu Jiaan handed the phone to Xu Chunliang: "Chunliang, talk to your father."
Xu Chunliang realized that the aunt did not make this video call for no reason, she must have heard about the fact that their father and son did not communicate, so he took this opportunity to help ease the relationship between their father and son.
If Xu Jiaxuan hadn't known it in advance, he would hardly have recognized his son. He said excitedly, "Chun Liang, I'm your father!"
Xu Chunliang said: "I know you."
Xu Jiaxuan smiled awkwardly: "I'm so happy, son, I heard that you are working. Congratulations. I have wronged you these years. Dad is busy with work..."
"Business at work is not an excuse. They were all born to a father. If your sister and the others can come to see grandpa, why can't you come?"
"Okay, grandpa doesn't like your two bad money at all. I really have filial piety and come back to see it often. You will grow old one day, so you are not afraid of retribution."
A group of people were dumbfounded. Those who knew it was the son teaching the father, but those who didn't know thought it was the father teaching the son.
Xu Changshan listened happily, and his grandson said what he had been holding back all along, this unfilial thing, really thought it would be enough to send two money?
Xu Jiaxuan was speechless after being trained, and he could feel his embarrassment across the Pacific Ocean: "Chunliang...I...I...have a word with your grandpa."
Xu Chunliang handed the phone to his grandfather, and Xu Changshan hung up directly. No matter how many good things he said, he might as well come back.
Liang Shude found that the atmosphere was not right, raised his glass and proposed: "Let's wish the old man good health and a long life."
Mei Ruxue toasted, and found this family really interesting.
After dinner, Mei Ruxue bid farewell and left. After all, it was a family gathering of the Xu family, and it was not appropriate for her to stay here for too long.
Xu Chunliang sent her to the car and said with a smile, "Thank you!"
Mei Ruxue said: "Thank me for what?"
Xu Chunliang said: "Thank you for giving me such a big face."
Mei Ruxue knew what he meant. Almost everyone thought she was his girlfriend tonight. Out of face, she didn't clarify this matter in front of everyone tonight.
Mei Ruxue handed him the red envelope, but Xu Chunliang confiscated it for her to keep. After all, it was the old man's wish.
Mei Ruxue didn't insist, she waved to him and drove away.
Xu Chunliang watched Mei Ruxue's car go away, and when he was about to go back, a purple Porsche Cayenne stopped in front of him.
Brother and sister Liang Linan and Zhen Chun came out together. A chubby young man got out of the Cayenne car. His name was Du Yunqiang. He was Liang Linan's classmate when he was studying abroad. Liang Linan got in touch with him before he came to Dongzhou. Du Yunqiang specially took them to play. of.
Liang Linan also invited his cousin to go with him. Xu Chunliang didn't have much interest in this kind of night life, and said that he would stay and chat with his family.
The sisters Xu Jiaan went to wash the pots and dishes, while Zheng Pei'an and Liang Shude accompanied the old man to smoke and chat.
Seeing Xu Chunliang come back, Liang Shude was a little surprised, and asked him why he didn't go to play with him?
Xu Chunliang told the truth that he has no interest in clubbing.
Zheng Pei’an feels that the young people of this generation are different from the past. In the past, they only sang karaoke at most, but now they just hang out at bars.
Liang Shude said with a smile: "Young people have the lives of young people, and we, the elders, don't interfere."
Xu Changshan frowned when he heard that some children went clubbing. In his concept, a bar is not a place for serious people to go. It's a place where good and bad people are mixed together. What if there is trouble? Xu Changshan told them his worries.
Zheng Pei'an told him not to worry, the law and order in Dongzhou is very good now, and the whole society is cracking down on gangsters, and the bad guys have become more peaceful. In recent years, there have been very few gangster incidents.
Having said that, Xu Changshan is still worried. The three children are all foreigners, and they are not familiar with the place of life. He asked Xu Chunliang to accompany him. Now the old man is very relieved of Xu Chunliang, knowing that his grandson has become more and more capable since he started working. big.
Xu Chunliang didn't want to go at first, but after hearing what his grandfather said, he had no choice but to obey. He went out, took a taxi, and went to SEVENSTAR.
Xu Chunliang got off the car at the entrance of the bar, and saw Du Yunqiang's Porsche in the parking lot at a glance, mainly because the purple film was too flamboyant.
Entering the bar, the dim lights flickering inside, and the deafening sound effects gave him a sense of obsessed atmosphere.
A waiter came up to him and asked him how many people there were. Xu Chunliang said that he was looking for someone, but he looked around but didn't see where his cousin and the others had gone.
Two DJs were dancing wildly on the stage, and a group of men and women below were twitching indiscriminately with the music. Xu Chunliang felt that people in this place had become a little crazy, and he wished he could give everyone a needle to wake them up.
While looking around, a short-haired woman waved at him in the distance. Xu Chunliang took a closer look, but it was Zhao Xiaohui, the host of Dongzhou TV.
Speaking of which Dongzhou is really small, you can meet acquaintances wherever you go.
Zhao Xiaohui was also alone, Xu Chunliang came to sit beside her: "Oh, sister Xiaohui, what a coincidence?"
Zhao Xiaohui smiled and said: "It seems that we are really destined, and I am worried that no one will drink with me."
Her makeup looks a bit exaggerated today, with flaming red lips, newly cut short hair, and a wet and messy texture. She picked up the cigarette on the table, Xu Chunliang said that she would not.
Zhao Xiaohui took one by herself, and Xu Chunliang took out the lighter to light it for her. Zhao Xiaohui was stunned for a moment, why do you bring a lighter with you if you don't smoke?
Xu Chunliang told her that this lighter is usually used as a prop for the leaders. Zhao Xiaohui understood, no wonder he was so young that he was valued by the leaders of the unit.
