After Gu Nan went out, Nie Yun put down the book in his hand.
He walked to the window, looked at the sycamore tree outside the window expressionlessly, and murmured, "Yingzi, if it were you, would you let it go?"
When Gu Nan arrived at the dining room, others had already sat down and everyone had not started yet. Seeing Gu Nan coming back alone, he naturally understood what he meant.
Gu Nan said, "Grandpa, my master said, let us eat first, he will come over later."
Hearing that Nie Yun would come out to eat, Chen Qiang's eyes once again flashed with hope.
"Okay, then we won't wait for him and let's get started." Mr. Nie took the lead in taking the chopsticks. He looked at Chen Qiang and said with a smile, "Qiangzi, you have been away from Lancheng for so many years, and you don't know if Xi Jinping is used to us.
The food here, you can try the taste of our hometown."
Chen Qiang said, "Uncle Nie, I'm used to it. My taste in eating hasn't changed."
Mr. Nie asked Nie Yuhua to prepare a bottle of wine in advance. At this moment, he looked at the juniors present and said with a smile, "Come on, you young people, join us for a drink today."
Gu Yahui poured wine for everyone.
Mr. Nie suggested, "Let's raise a toast. Let's have a drink in order to be reunited today."
After everyone toasted, Lu Hao poured a glass of wine alone, stood up, and toasted to Chen Qiang, "Uncle, let me toast you."
"Okay, okay." When Chen Qiang heard Lu Hao call him uncle, he raised his glass with emotion and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Yahui also struck while the iron was hot, stood up, and toasted Chen Qiang, "Father-in-law, I'd like to toast you too."
Chen Qiang's heart surged and he drank it all in one gulp.
Drinking two glasses of wine between men instantly brings them closer to each other.
Chen Qian drank one cup after another, drinking very hard.
Chen Ruolin reminded with a worried laugh, "Dad, please drink slowly."
"I'm happy today."
Chen Qiang was happy from the bottom of his heart. After more than 20 years, he finally reunited with his nephew and his daughter married the man of his choice.
Nie Yuhua also took this opportunity to discuss marriage with him, "Brother Chen Qiang, then we have decided that the children's wedding will be held on New Year's Day."
Chen Qiang readily agreed, "Okay."
"You have to wait to attend the wedding, but you can't leave early."
"When my daughter gets married, I will definitely be there. I will hand her over to Yahui personally so that I can feel at ease."
After a few glasses of wine, the elegant and introverted man began to talk more.
He looked at Nie Yuhua and said in a gentle tone, "Yuhua, I'm happy if Ruolin can become your daughter-in-law. If she does something bad in the future, please bear with her.
I hope Ruolin and Yahui can be as happy together as you are."
Nie Yuhua assured generously, "Brother Qiang, don't worry. If Ruolin marries Yahui, she will become a member of our family. We will not treat her badly."
A gentle smile appeared on Chen Qiang's face, "Thank you, thank you."
"What are you thanking for? It's us who get the wife, and we are the one who takes advantage."
After meeting their in-laws and chatting about speculation, Gu Yahui and Chen Ruolin's hearts dropped completely.
Gu Yahui was in a beautiful mood and thoughtfully picked up food for Chen Ruolin.
Nie Yun walked out of the room.
At the dinner table, glasses were exchanged, and there was laughter and laughter. He stood there, strange and like an outsider.
His eyes fell on the face of the man wearing glasses.
There was a coldness in his eyes.
Gu Nan was the first to see Nie Yun. She noticed that her master was angry and angry. She stood up and called him, "Master, come over and eat quickly."
Chen Qiang turned his head and saw Nie Yun. He was stunned for a moment. After recognizing him as his childhood friend Nie Bin, he quickly stood up holding the chair.
Then, he walked toward him unsteadily.
Chen Qiang looked excited, looked at the man with a dark complexion and a coldness all over his body, and shouted, "Brother Bin."
He stretched out his hand to shake Nie Yun's hand, "Brother Bin, long time no see."
Nie Yun stood upright, looking at the man in front of him, his face becoming increasingly gloomy and terrifying.
Nie Yun ignored him at all, so Chen Qiang had no choice but to retract his hand.
He wiped his face and said in a guilty tone, "I don't have the shame to see you, Brother Bin. You have suffered a lot these years."
"Many years ago, I also asked for news about you. Unfortunately, I found nothing. I am really happy to meet you today."
"Come over and sit down, let's have a good chat."
No matter how sincere Chen Qiang's attitude was and how happy he appeared, Nie Yun just didn't react at all.
He just looked straight at Chen Qiang.
Nie Yun's attitude made Chen Qiang feel embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
Suddenly, Nie Yun raised his hand and punched Chen Qiang in the face...
His unexpected move shocked everyone.
Blood oozed from the corner of Chen Qiang's mouth, but he stood there motionless and didn't fight back.
Chen Ruolin saw her father being beaten and ran over quickly, looking at him worriedly, "Dad, are you okay?"
Chen Qiang said, "It's okay."
Mr. Nie did not blame Nie Yun, and others did not dare to say anything.
After Nie Yun beat him, under everyone's gaze, he walked to the dining table and sat down as if nothing had happened.
He asked Gu Nan, "Where is my food?"
Gu Nan hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen, "I'm going to serve the rice."
Gu Nan quickly ran to the kitchen.
.
"Qiangzi, are you okay? Come and sit down quickly."
Mr. Nie greeted Chen Qiang. Chen Qiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He was not angry. He listened to Mr. Nie and sat over.
His position was exactly opposite Nie Yun.
Nie Yun took his chopsticks and ate his meal slowly, as if nothing just happened.
No one else dared to speak. As an elder, Mr. Nie spoke out to comfort Chen Qiang, "Qiangzi, don't take it to heart. Binzi has been through a lot of hardships these years. He is now alone. What happened back then ruined him.
Destroy Huang Ying, you are his brother, please be patient."
Chen Qiang is the son of Chen Youde.
Therefore, he naturally took out his anger on him.
But he only punched once and was already very restrained.
After being beaten, Chen Qiang apologized humbly, "Uncle Nie, I know, and I'm sorry for what happened to Brother Bin."
"Brother Bin, I'm sorry."
As the old saying goes, a father's debt must be paid by his son, and Chen Qiang himself has been burdened with heavy yoke these years.
His sister, friends, and people he cared about all left one by one, but he couldn't do anything.
At this time, after being punched by Nie Yun, he felt more relaxed than ever before.
It seemed that as soon as Nie Yun vented his anger, he also felt less guilty.
Nie Yun ate his food, raised his eyes, and glanced at Chen Qiang with contempt, "You are still as cowardly as before."
A man was scolded as a coward in public. Nie Yun's words completely irritated Chen Qiang.
He poured himself a glass of wine, drank it down, and mocked, "Yes, I am just cowardly. My sister was forced away by that bastard, and I failed to protect her. You are my brother, and I can only watch the tragedy."
If it happens, nothing can be done.”
He looked at his daughter, feeling guilty and blaming himself, "Up to now, my daughter is being forced by my wife, and I haven't done anything for her. I am just a weak and incompetent person."
He has been afraid of his father who is an official since he was a child, and he needs to be cautious in everything he does.
However, he married a wife who was equally strong.
His life is depressing and boring.
"In these years, the only thing I could do was to escape from the suffocating environment. I didn't even have the courage to come to you and apologize to you."
Chen Qiang sneered, "It's obviously not my fault, but I feel like I'm sorry to everyone."
Just because he is that person's son.
"I haven't had a solid night's sleep in these years. I've been exhausted trying to find Yazhi." Chen Qiang wiped his face and his tone became more choked up again, "My poor sister, she doesn't even know her own..."
My son is still alive."
As soon as he said this, everyone at the dinner table looked at him in shock.
Mr. Nie said in disbelief, "What did you say? Yazhi doesn't know about Xiaohao's existence?"
