While the Su family was preparing for the dinner, a black car stopped outside Xiong's house.
Someone opened the door, and Tian Qiuyu was the first to come down.
However, Tian Qiuyu did not go away immediately, but stood respectfully beside the car.
Then, Cai Lin, who was wearing a black cheongsam, walked down slowly. Her face was re-dressed with makeup, her lipstick was slightly darker, her eyebrows were slightly heavier, and her hair was pulled high into a bun.
Unlike in the afternoon, she was as showy and powerful as she was in the afternoon. At this moment, she was extremely restrained. With her aura suppressed, the aura of a wealthy woman was unobstructed!
Cai Lin paused slightly, raised her eyes, and sighed with all her heart: "I haven't been here for several years, but it's still so deserted here."
Tian Qiuyu explained from the side, "Grandpa Xiong likes peace and quiet."
Cai Lin turned around and said, "Why, do you really think of yourself as the daughter-in-law of the Xiong family, helping the Xiong family in everything?"
"No need to explain, I have no objection to you wanting to be the Xiong family's daughter-in-law. I'll wait until you can pass today's test!"
Tian Qiuyu was a little worried, "Mother..."
Cai Lin chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not here to fight."
"Besides, your future mother-in-law is not a simple woman. I may not be able to beat her in a fight."
While they were talking, someone walked out of the Xiong family. The person walking in front was Xiong Gang, followed by Mother Bear.
Cai Lin stepped forward first and greeted everyone with a smile: "Brother Gang, sister-in-law, it's really presumptuous of me to come uninvited. Please forgive me for intruding!"
Xiong Gang said in a loud voice, "Where are you talking? We brother and sister haven't seen each other for a while. It's too late for me to be happy that you can come!"
"By the way, why are you here by yourself? How about Lao Tian? Why didn't he come? It's been a while since we had a drink together!"
Before Cai Lin could answer, Mother Xiong pushed her aside, "You're such an adult and you still can't speak! What's Lao Tian? I'm Mr. Tian now, half a level higher than you!"
Xiong Gang chuckled, a little embarrassed.
Cai Lin answered, "Sister-in-law, are you telling the truth? Are you saying that our Lao Tian doesn't come around often?"
Mother Bear joked half-jokingly: "Mr. Tian is busy with work, I understand."
Cai Lin stepped forward, took Mother Bear in her hand, and said affectionately: "We are all sons and daughters. Is this what my sister-in-law said has gone public?"
"Our Lao Tian's achievements today are all due to Uncle Xiong's support. No matter where he goes in the future, if Brother Gang wants to drink, how dare Lao Tian not come over even after a phone call?"
"You don't know that I am coming to Tianzhou today, but he is so anxious that he insists on coming with me."
"But there is no other way. I really can't get away from work, so I can only entrust me to come here."
While he was talking, the driver of the Tian family took out a box of special wine from the trunk.
Cai Lin said with a smile, "Brother Gang, Lao Tianke told you not to drink all the wine. The next time he gets free, he will get drunk with you!"
When Xiong Gang saw the good wine, his eyes lit up and he said, "Tell Lao Tian that it's a deal!"
"Tsk tsk, good wine, good wine. Lao Tian's ability to hide wine is really top-notch, if nothing else!"
"I can't. If you have two bottles of good wine, it will be bottomed out within three days. You can't hide it!"
Cai Lin said casually, "No, there is still a jar of Nerubang in our cellar, waiting for Brother Gang to go to Kaifeng!"
Brother Xiong smiled heartily, and his laughter shook the sky.
Ever since Mr. Xiong retired from the company, the Xiong family has rarely been so lively.
In a rare atmosphere, a group of people entered the hospital one after another.
The Tian family's driver drove away, found a place to eat, and then waited nearby.
Tian Qiuyu walked at the end and did not enter the hospital immediately, but paused slightly.
A Liang hurriedly approached, "Sister Qiu Yu, I have already told Brother Xiong."
Tian Qiuyu nodded, "Well, you have nothing to do here. You can go to the high-speed rail station and keep an eye on it to see if the person coming is her."
"Remember, take a look and come back, don't make any move."
Ah Liang understood, turned and left.
Tian Qiuyu stopped the person again, "If you confirm the person coming, say hello to the Chu family!"
A Liang glanced at the courtyard and said, "Sister Qiu Yu, I don't think it's good for you to be involved with people from the Chu family at this time."
Tian Qiuyu knew what A Liang was worried about and laughed at himself, "I can't help it. During this critical period, I don't want the Chu family to hold my father back!"
"Besides, there are some people who I can easily expose what happened back then without contacting them."
A Liang clenched his fists and said, "Sister Qiu Yu, this is unfair to you. Who hasn't made a mistake in this life? Why should the Xiong family beat you to death with a stick?"
Seeing Tian Qiuyu's expressionless face, he stopped trying to persuade her and turned around to leave, feeling a little lonely.
In the Xiong Family Courtyard, Tian Qiuyu also followed and walked with the group towards the main hall.
In the lively atmosphere, both parties had a tacit understanding, and no one mentioned what happened during the day.
Cai Lin pretended to be surprised and asked: "Why didn't you see Xiaochen? Aren't you at home?"
Xiong Gang's smile froze slightly and he didn't know how to answer the question.
He knew very well the purpose of Cai Lin coming here today, it was for the marriage between her children.
When they met just now, although Cai Lin didn't say it explicitly, she also hinted twice in her words. He was rough in words but subtle in tone. How could he really not understand.
After all, both families have their own names. Even if the engagement is broken off, they will definitely not make it public, otherwise both parties will lose face.
Xiong Gang's original intention was to support this marriage, which would keep the two families together for so many years. He and Tian Qiuyu's father were still old friends, and the two children had been childhood sweethearts.
For both public and private purposes, this marriage is perfect!
But Xiong Chen had a firm attitude and refused to agree to it.
Xiong Gang was so angry that he almost broke one of Xiong Chen's legs.
Just now, he is still kneeling in the side hall. He has not said anything all afternoon, and has not even asked for mercy in the slightest. It is obvious that he is determined to make his own decision.
As for the father, he did not express his position and simply said that he respected Xiong Chen.
In this way, it is equivalent to putting Xiong Gang on the fire.
He didn't want to embarrass his children over the marriage, but at this critical period, the marriage between the two families was particularly sensitive.
Just this afternoon, many people came over to ask about Xiong Chen’s marriage, and some people said they wanted to introduce Xiong Chen to his girlfriend!
Coincidentally, Cai Lin came to the door at this time!
The attitude of the Tian family is self-evident. They obviously do not agree to break off the engagement. Otherwise, Xiong Chen will just leave it to him, and Cai Lin will not come forward in person!
Xiong Gang is an upright person, not easy to lie and embarrassed to speak directly.
Mother Bear naturally doesn't have stage fright, "Don't worry about him, that brat got into trouble again today. He's kneeling in the side hall!"
"This time, we don't plan to take care of it anymore. Whatever trouble he gets into is up to him. Don't expect the family to wipe his ass!"
In response to Mother Bear's statement, Cai Lin responded skillfully: "Xiao Chen has had this personality since he was a child."
"But let me tell you, it's better for boys to have personality!"
"Sister-in-law, forget it if I don't come today. Now that I'm here, I have to ask for mercy. It doesn't matter if I made any mistakes. Just change them. What problem can I solve by kneeling like this?"
"Xiaochen is what I have watched since I was a child, and he is considered half of my son. If you don't feel sorry for me, I feel sorry for you!"
Before Mother Bear could express her stance, Cai Lin turned around and said, "Qiu Yu, go over and bring Xiao Chen over and tell him that I want to meet him!"
