Yu Ming looked directly at the person standing in front of him, with a smile on his face: "Of course."
Faced with the teasing of the two couples, Catherine could only continue to maintain a calm expression on her face. Of course, her calmness was also mixed with a bit of a smile.
"Stop bullying your sister-in-law." After Xu Yunhe said this, he lowered his head and asked Catherine: "Let's eat first."
Catherine nodded and followed Xu Yunhe forward.
After the two came to the dining table, all the elders of the Xu family sat at the dining table.
Of course Catherine had to be polite. After all, she was visiting the Xu family, so she said, "Mrs. Xu, hello Mr. Xu."
Then, she looked towards Xu Li's parents, with a smile on her face.
Xu Yunhe's parents did not respond to her greetings and were both silent. However, Xu Li's parents greeted her: "Sit down, you're welcome, let's eat first."
Xu Yunhe smiled and took Catherine to sit down on the chair.
Catherine naturally followed his hand and sat down.
At this time, Yu Ming and Xu Li also came over, each picked a seat and sat down at the dining table.
The atmosphere that was relaxed one second now fell into dead silence.
Everyone sat there without moving, of course Catherine did not move. Her hand fell on the table, just waiting for the change of the dinner.
The next second, it was Yu Ming who came to break the situation. He said to Xu Yunhe's parents: "Uncle, aunt, would you like to have a drink today?"
No matter how dark Xu Wanzhong's face was, he could only respond to Ming's words: "Well, okay, let's go."
"Mom and Dad, where are you?"
Yu Ming called Xu Li's parents affectionately.
Xu Li's parents immediately responded: "Okay, let's open a bottle of wine. It's rare for everyone to be in such a good mood."
Xu Li's parents also tried to liven up the atmosphere.
When Yu Ming saw them arguing, he smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll ask someone to open the wine."
After he finished speaking, he looked towards the servant: "Open a bottle of red wine, open a bottle that is a little older. Today is a good day."
When the servant of the Xu family heard this, he nodded immediately: "Okay, uncle."
After the servant finished speaking, he went to the wine cellar to get some wine.
As soon as the servant left, Yu Ming's eyes returned to the dining table and continued to liven up the atmosphere: "Today's dishes, the servants at home cook all the special dishes."
Yu Ming used serving chopsticks to serve a main dish to his father-in-law and mother-in-law: "Mom and dad, you guys eat more."
Needless to say, how satisfied Yu Ming's father-in-law and mother-in-law were with Ming, both of them had smiles on their faces.
At this time, Yu Ming gave Xu Yunhe's parents a message: "Uncle, aunt, you are the protagonists today, so you can't miss this dish today."
Mrs. Xu and Xu Wanzhong were quite satisfied with Ming's understanding, so they nodded their heads.
During this process, Xu Yunhe watched Yu Ming's actions with a smile in his eyes.
After Yu Ming finished doing this, he cast a glance at Xu Yunhe.
Xu Yunhe's eyes were filled with a trace of satisfaction.
Both were smiling.
At this time, Xu Yunhe's eyes turned to Catherine: "What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you."
Catherine replied to Xu Yunhe: "Whatever."
She maintained her manners and did not show any signs of losing her composure in front of the Xu family.
Xu Yunhe said with a smile: "There is nothing casual at home."
He then picked up the bowl in front of her and served her soup with a spoon.
A bowl of lotus root soup has green scallions floating on it and is steaming with the slightest hint of heat.
The cooks of the Xu family are indeed good at their craftsmanship, Catherine thought to herself.
Then, Xu Wanzhong said: "Let's eat."
Everyone picked up their chopsticks, and after that, the only sound left on the table was the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting bowls and chopsticks.
…
After finishing the meal, Xu Wanzhong dispersed from the dining table and then returned to the living room.
Only Xu Yunhe and Catherine, Xu Li and Yu Ming were left at the dining table.
Catherine naturally knew how Xu Yunhe's parents were feeling now, otherwise he would not have left the table without eating anything.
Xu Yunhe seemed not to notice the expressions of his parents at all, and only focused on Catherine: "Aren't you going to eat?"
In fact, Catherine had no appetite at all. In response to Xu Yunhe's question, she only whispered: "Well, I'm full."
Xu Yunhe looked at her bowl and said, "You haven't eaten much."
"I'm really full," Catherine said.
When Xu Yunhe heard what she said, he no longer forced her to eat more, nodded and said, "Okay."
After he finished speaking, he poured her a glass of water.
Catherine took it from Xu Yunhe.
Xu Li saw her brother being extremely considerate towards her best friend. She smiled and said, "Brother, shall I take Catherine around our house? It will just make her familiar."
Xu Li now also likes to call her Catherine. She also feels that this name is not so weird anymore, but calling Qiqi is a little weird.
Yu Ming was the last one to put down his chopsticks. He wiped the corners of his mouth with the handkerchief on the table.
Xu Yunhe looked at Catherine: "What about you? Do you want to?"
Catherine thought that she couldn't just sit here, but now that the meal was over, she couldn't go back to the living room to accompany Xu Yunhe's parents and some elders of the Xu family.
Following Xu Li is the best way.
She responded: "Yeah. Okay, just in time to eat."
Xu Yunhe also had a smile on his face: "Okay, then let Lily take you around."
At this time, Yu Ming put down the handkerchief and said, "The back garden here is not bad."
He seemed to be giving Xu Li advice, but he didn't mention Xu Li's name.
It seemed like he was talking to Xu Li, but it didn't seem like he was talking to Xu Li.
Xu Li answered directly: "Okay, then I will take Catherine to the back garden for a walk."
"Catherine, what about you?"
Xu Li asked again.
Catherine smiled and said, "Okay, I can do it."
So the two of them left the dining table and went to the back garden.
Yu Ming was still sitting at the dining table. Xu Yunhe smiled at Ming and said, "Thank you."
Yu Ming said with a smile: "It's just a matter of hands."
Xu Yunhe picked up the wine glass on the table and clinked it with him.
…
Xu Li took Catherine around the back garden of Xu's house. As she walked around, she introduced the place where she grew up and told her some interesting things.
"Have you seen that swing? When I was very young, I always loved to compete with my brother on the swing, but he always wouldn't let me. My brother is a very gentle person, but he is actually very bad. I am in his His men suffered a lot."
After hearing Xu Li's words, Catherine looked at Xu Li.
To be honest, she has learned a lot about Xu Yunhe in the past four years, so she knows what kind of person he is.
But she really didn't know that Xu Yunhe would be so naughty when he was a child. She thought he would be an older brother who would give in to his younger sister.
Xu Li saw her staring at her.
She smiled and said, "You can't believe it, can you? My brother is really bad."
