Chapter Eighteen: An Embarrassing Family Dinner

 Nan Jianlong's chest was rising and falling with anger, and Cai Juying was so frightened that she quickly comforted him and told him not to be angry.

Seeing Nan Jianlong's appearance, Nan Li suddenly felt regretful. She was so angry just now that she lost control of her words and just blurted out those words.

But regret is regret, and now she is asked to apologize, especially in front of Tian Yulan's mother and son, she really can't do it.

Zhou Chen was also a little confused at this time, but he reacted very quickly and felt Nan Li's emotions. He quickly held Nan Li's hand and comforted her silently.

As for Tian Yulan, who started the incident, she no longer dared to say anything at this moment. She pursed her lips, looked at Nan Jianlong, then at Nan Li, and finally lowered her head.

To be honest, Tian Yulan has known Nan Jianlong for so many years with her mother, and this is the first time she has seen Nan Jianlong so angry.

Although she was dissatisfied with Nan Li and wanted to suppress Nan Li, she didn't really want to turn the father and daughter against each other. At most, she just wanted to talk about it.

But who knew that instead of feeling comfortable, Nan Jianlong would be in even greater trouble. No, Nan Jianlong was so angry that he couldn't breathe.

Naturally, Yan Peng and the three children did not dare to say anything.

Who can continue to eat a good meal when it has already fallen into this kind of contradiction before even taking a few bites?

The father and daughter were angry, and neither of them wanted to bow their heads. Zhou Chen felt that this was not a problem.

If we want to say that he was wronged, he was the most wronged. He did nothing and was severely criticized by Nan Jianlong. Nan Li was just trying to stand up for him, so she denounced her father.

After thinking about it, Zhou Chen said to Nan Jianlong: "Dad, Lili didn't mean that. She just can't control her emotions when she's angry. Don't mind."

With Cai Juying's comfort, Nan Jianlong became much calmer. Although he was still very angry, seeing his daughter's silent look and the three children around her, as an elder, he could only suppress his anger.

unhappy.

"Eat, eat."

Cai Juying immediately agreed: "Yes, yes, the food should be eaten while it's hot. It won't taste good when it's cold. Let's all eat."

Tian Yulan was like a quail at the moment, not daring to say a word and eating cautiously.

Nan Li slowly calmed down under Zhou Chen's silent comfort. Seeing that her father did not get angry in public, she felt guilty.

After so many years, although she is still brooding about what happened back then, she really shouldn't be so open-minded on such occasions, and her father is still ill. If something goes wrong out of anger, she will have to bear the full responsibility.

responsibility.

This meal was definitely the most embarrassing family banquet Zhou Chen had ever had. Although he had long known that today's family banquet would not be peaceful, he had never expected that it would end up like this.

and.

For some reason, he, who originally looked down upon Nan Jianlong's actions, could only swallow his anger after seeing Nan Jianlong being ridiculed in public by his daughter.

This scene really made him emotional.

There must be something hateful about pitiful people, and there must be something pitiable about hateful people.

I finished the meal in an awkward atmosphere. It was really not easy to finish the meal.

Take Xiao Chaochao for example, he was almost scared to tears just now, but in the end Nan Li coaxed him away from crying.

As soon as they finished eating, Nan Li was about to leave, but Nan Jianlong went to tell her that he wanted to see her, and the two of them went to the study.

Yan Peng was complaining about Tian Yulan. If his wife hadn't started it, today wouldn't be like this.

Tian Yulan, who didn't dare to speak just now, was very arrogant when facing her husband Yan Peng. She said every word, and Yan Peng was so angry that he could only run over to find Zhou Chen.

"Brother, I'm sorry for what happened today. It's all my fault for that prodigal woman in my family. I will definitely take care of him when I get back."

Yan Peng expressed his determination to Zhou Chen and begged for forgiveness.

"Oh, if I had known earlier, I shouldn't have said anything about your novel writing in front of Uncle Nan. It's all my fault."

Zhou Chen didn't blame Yan Peng, and had no reason to blame him, "Okay, what happened today has nothing to do with you. It's also my responsibility. I didn't stop it in time, alas."

Yan Peng also sighed: "Oh, yes, I'm going to get cancer from embarrassment after eating this meal. That prodigal woman in my family is like that. Brother, please don't mind too much."

Zhou Chen said: "I'm not that stingy, but you have to talk about it when you go back. The adults can resolve the conflicts themselves. Don't involve the children next time."

"Yes, yes, Tian Yulan did go too far this time. No matter what, we can't involve the child."

Yan Peng nodded repeatedly, and then said with a serious face: "Brother, you told me last time that I didn't pay much attention to Ziyou's problem. Now it seems that Tian Yulan does have some problems. I must talk to her properly when I go back.

"

Zhou Chen rolled his eyes, and after a few words, he said several times that he wanted to deal with Tian Yulan, but do you have the ability?

Nan Jianlong and his daughter talked for a long time in the study. When they came out, they saw that the two of them had returned to their original state, and everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of the apparent calmness or whatever the reason was, it was already good that conflicts did not continue to break out.

Nan Li drove the car when we went back. Because Huanhuan and Chaochao were in the car, neither of them said anything in the car about what happened today.

However, after returning home, Nan Li took Huanhuan and Chaochao to her mother's house across the street. She seemed to have lost all her complaints, leaving Zhou Chen alone to continue typing on the computer.

In the evening, Zhou Chen heard the door open, walked out of the study and saw that it was not Nan Li, but Mitao's mother who came to clean.

"Mother Mi Tao is here."

Zhou Chen took the initiative to say hello. Originally, Mitao's mother was supposed to come at noon today, but because they went there at noon, they called and asked if Mitao's mother was free in the afternoon, so Mitao's mother agreed to come in the evening.

.

"Hello, Dad Huanhuan, I'm a little late, I'm sorry."

Midao's mother is a very simple woman with a very good attitude, especially when it comes to doing things. She is a good hand and will do her best to clean every time she comes over.

Nan Li had dinner across the street, while Zhou Chen took a bite of it by himself after Mitao's mother left.

At night, after putting Chaochao and Huanhuan to sleep, Nanli ran on the treadmill to vent her emotions.

"Li Li, let's take a break. You've been running for half an hour. If you continue like this, you'll hurt your legs."

"Hoo, ho, ho!"

Nan Li slowly stopped, and Zhou Chen took the opportunity to say: "Li Li, you are so handsome today. The moment you stood up for me, I was really moved to death."

Nan Li calmed down her anger and rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen who was causing trouble.

"Just to vent your anger, that's why it ended up like that."

"Blame me, blame me. I didn't expect that the old man would be able to blame me in the end. I didn't even react myself. I just saw you coming up and making a fuss..."

Nan Li hummed: "He was the one who was wrong in this matter. Even if he wanted to stop me from talking to Tian Yulan, I shouldn't have made it against you. Besides, it was Tian Yulan who provoked me first today. Look at her like that.

Are you angry when she praises her son so much and belittles our family Huanhuan in every way?"

"I'm angry, of course I'm angry, but we won't argue with her. As you said, it's a problem with her family of origin. She just wants to show off whatever she lacks. It's boring for us not to argue with her."

"Of course I didn't want to argue with her, but what she said today was so irritating, it was like taking gunpowder."

"The reason why she was like that was because the gift the old man gave to Ziyou was the same as the gift he gave last time. She felt uncomfortable, so she used it as an excuse. You know what I mean."

"Ah? Is there still such a thing?"

Nan Li really didn't notice this. If that was the case, then everything would make sense.

"What Dad did was indeed wrong, but that's not why she was targeting us, let alone Huanhuan. This is unjustifiable."

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Husband, what kind of coin did you say you invested in before? How is it doing now?"

"It's okay. The growth is good. So far, it has increased by almost 30%."

Nan Li looked surprised: "Thirty percent, in addition to the principal, wouldn't it be a profit of more than 100,000?"

"More than 100,000 yuan, Lili, why did you remember to ask this? Haven't you always been opposed to my investment before?"

Zhou Chen was very surprised. He had been investing for a while, so why did Nan Li think of asking about it today?

Nan Li rested for a while, recovered, and sat on the chair next to her.

"I'm thinking, if Huanhuan and Chaochao are really not good at studying, should we make more preparations and make more money while we still have the ability? Even if they don't have much potential in the future, we

It can also save some wealth for them."
