Qin Tian could feel the sharp eyes of his father-in-law opposite him staring at him, simmering with anger.
He also knew that talking too much in this situation would be wrong, so he wisely chose to bury his head in the food.
Fortunately, with Xia Nuannuan sitting next to her and her future mother-in-law taking control of the situation, the atmosphere at the dinner table did not seem stiff.
Su Xia ate the food gracefully and naturally started talking about their school life.
During this period, she also recalled some past events from when she was young and studying.
Xia Nuannuan continued with a sweet smile, and used chopsticks in her hands to pick up vegetables for Qin Tian and his father from time to time.
Qin Tian acted as a very good listener and doer. He didn't answer many conversations, but every time he spoke, he always said the right words, amusing Su Xia and Xia Nuannuan several times.
The three of them talked happily, and Su Xia looked at Qin Tian much closer.
I had a good impression of Qin Tian before, but after all, I haven't sat down and had a good chat with him, so it's not enough to say that I understand him.
Now after a conversation, she is undoubtedly more satisfied.
Her appearance and height are all on the line, she studies well, and her character and emotional intelligence are not to mention.
He talks a little less, but as a man, this is not a shortcoming.
Moreover, it is understandable that he is a little nervous and says little in this situation, and can even be said to be very smart.
All in all, Qin Tian satisfied all Su Xia's fantasies about her future son-in-law.
The only thing that made her unhappy about this meal was the husband next to her who was eating the food she cooked without saying a word and staring at Xiao Qin with hostile eyes.
"Oh, time flies so fast. In a blink of an eye, my children are so old and I am getting older too!"
After Su Xia finished telling some interesting things about her senior year in high school, she sighed with a smile.
"Mom, what are you talking about? In my eyes, you have always been the youngest and most beautiful."
Xia Nuannuan said a rainbow fart with a serious expression.
Qin Tian nodded smartly and agreed: "Nuan Nuan is right. When I first met you, I thought you were Nuan Nuan's sister. You look like you are about twenty years old."
"Pfft!"
Su Xia covered her mouth and laughed.
Xia Nuannuan turned her head and looked at Qin Tian with extremely surprised eyes.
Qin Tian smiled slightly and gave her a proud look.
"Xiao Qin, it seems that we, Nuannuan, have not only improved in studying with you, but we are also even better at coaxing people with your words!"
Su Xia joked with a slight smile.
"Auntie, no, I really didn't teach you this. It's her innate talent."
Qin Tian said with a chuckle.
Xia Nuannuan and Su Xia were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then laughed happily at the same time.
For a time, the room was filled with laughter and a happy atmosphere.
Only Xia Zhengping was still eating the food silently with a cold face, looking a little out of place.
Su Xia couldn't bear it anymore, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her knee under the table bumped Xia Zhengping's leg.
Xia Zhengping looked at his wife in surprise.
"Lao Xia, don't just eat meat, eat some vegetables."
Su Xia added a piece of carrot to his bowl and took the opportunity to give him a threatening look.
Lao Xia looked down at the carrots in the bowl blankly, and shuddered in his heart.
This is the dish he hates the most and he would never eat it.
The fact that his wife suddenly pinched him now has explained everything.
If you don't think of a way to make up for it, you'll have to sleep on the sofa again tonight.
He was going back to Jiangcheng tomorrow, and it would probably take ten days and a half before he came back. He would not even die if he slept on the sofa again at night.
Xia Nuannuan naturally noticed that her mother was angry, and secretly rejoiced in her misfortune.
She has been picking up food for Lao Xia, and Lao Xia has always looked bad. Now you know who is the eldest in the family, right?
"What's wrong? Eat!"
Su Xia still had a bright smile on her face and stared into her husband's little eyes.
"Look how much weight you have gained recently. I'm going to Jiangcheng tomorrow. Eat less big fish and meat and more vegetables like this."
"All right."
Lao Xia San smiled and nodded.
The temperature was more than ten degrees Celsius, and he was indoors, but sweat broke out on his back.
He reluctantly picked up the carrot and put it into his mouth, chewing it hard as if taking medicine, while thinking about topics that could change the overall situation.
"Qin Tian, eat more vegetables."
Xia Nuannuan picked up a piece of beef and served it to Qin Tian's bowl with a sweet smile.
"Okay, thank you."
Qin Tian smiled and thanked him, but also realized that the atmosphere was not right, so he lowered his head and ate the meat quietly.
"Um, Xiao Qin!"
Lao Xia finally swallowed the carrot in his mouth and finally took the initiative to speak.
Qin Tian heard the sound and hurriedly looked up at Lao Xia, who was smiling a little fakely across from him.
"You are the only one in your family, right? Do you have any brothers or sisters?"
Lao Xia asked with a smile.
"No, it's just me."
Qin Tian replied with a smile.
"That's it!"
Xia Zhengping nodded and asked, "What about your parents? What are they doing?"
Hearing this, Su Xia and Xia Nuannuan frowned.
Lao Xia, where are you doing your household registration investigation?
Where is the ability to talk to people when meeting them in business?
Lao Xia actually knew that it was inappropriate to ask this question, but he really didn't know what topic to look for.
Furthermore, he really wanted to know more about Qin Tian's family situation.
After all, his wife and daughter seem to be on the side of this brat. Now he is fighting alone, and he must know more about the enemy to find flaws.
"My mother has been working in a garment factory. As for my father..."
Qin Tian only said half of what he said, with a look of hesitation on his face.
"What's wrong?"
Lao Xia's eyes brightened slightly and he asked hurriedly.
He felt that this might be his chance to break the situation.
The eyes of Su Xia and Xia Nuannuan also fell on Qin Tian.
Under the gazes of the three people, Qin Tian smiled calmly and replied: "Actually... I haven't seen my dad since I was a child. I don't know where he is, and I don't know whether he is dead or not."
As soon as the words fell, the room fell into an eerie silence.
After Lao Xia recovered from the shock, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva and looked at his daughter with anxious eyes.
As expected, his daughter's little face was as cold as frost, and her big eyes that seemed to be spitting fire stared at him.
His heart suddenly went cold, and he slowly turned his head to look at his wife as stiffly as a robot.
Su Xia's face was calm, but her too calm eyes made Lao Xia's heart sink to the bottom.
It’s over! It’s all over!
Sleeping on the sofa tonight is inevitable.
"Xiao Qin, I'm sorry, Lao Xia..."
Su Xia looked at Qin Tian with an apologetic look, trying to apologize for her husband, but she didn't know what to say at the moment.
"Auntie, it's okay, it's okay."
Qin Tian shook his head hurriedly and said with a hearty smile: "I don't care about this for a long time. My mother is a very strong and gentle person. She is very good to me. She is enough for me."
Hearing this, Su Xia and Xia Nuannuan were filled with maternal feelings, and Xia Nuannuan's eyes even turned red.
"What a strong and good boy!"
Su Xia was filled with emotion.
The mother and daughter looked at each other and glanced at Lao Xia with cold eyes in tacit understanding.
Lao Xia trembled all over and looked ashen.
Isn’t this digging a hole to bury oneself?
Now he wanted to slap himself twice. Why did he talk so bad that he had to ask this question?
