After Xiao Ying left, Chen Fan lay down for a while.
In the cemetery, Lao Xiao and his daughter brought flowers and some fruits to his wife's grave.
The two arranged flowers and fruits, and Xiao Ying respectfully bowed to her mother three times. After paying homage, Lao Xiao muttered next to her, "Xiu'er, we're here to see you again. How are you doing over there after all these years?"
"Well, after you left, I became both a father and a mother. Now Ying'er can manage the company independently. She is more capable than me, and the company is getting better and better."
"Especially this year, the company's market value has doubled several times, and we can finally feel proud."
When Lao Xiao said this, he glanced at his daughter again. Xiao Ying stood beside her, listening to her father's nagging. This has become a habit. Every time she comes to pay homage, Lao Xiao has to talk to her mother alone for a long time.
After a while.
Many people don't understand Lao Xiao. Why can a man be so affectionate?
Perhaps only Xiao Ying understood her father. She stayed for a while and then left with an excuse, leaving some space for Lao Xiao.
Lao Xiao looked at his daughter's back and said worriedly, "Xiu'er, what I'm most worried about now is Ying'er. I didn't agree with the Phoenix man she found before, but she took the money and went abroad and never heard from her again."
"Now that she's grown up, I don't know when she will find someone she likes."
"Well, maybe it's my fault that I have too high demands on her. I've never paid attention to her love life, and I don't know what she's thinking."
"Oh, you have to leave a queen for my Xiao family!"
Xiao Ying returned to the car and sent a message to Chen Fan, "Are you up?"
Chen Fan replied, "Get up, are you done?"
"Come on, are you interested in meeting Lao Xiao?"
Chen Fan was stunned, "It's necessary. Jiang Huai didn't even say hello to him when he came, and he even slept with her daughter. How can this be justified?"
"..."
Xiao Ying blushed, "Can you not mention this? I've told you, we just do what we need."
"Just this once, don't think about it again."
"..."
Xiao Ying quickly changed the subject, "I'll call you when we get into the city."
"Fine!"
Chen Fan got up, washed up, changed clothes, and then asked the bodyguard to pick him up.
Lao Xiao stayed in the cemetery for a long time. It was almost half past ten when he came out. When he got back to the car, Xiao Ying said, "Dad, Mr. Chen is here. What are the arrangements for lunch?"
Lao Xiao said in surprise, "When did he come? Why didn't he notify me?"
"Shouldn't I inform you now?" Xiao Ying asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
"Let's go to...Wanguo Seafood."
Xiao Ying was shocked. She and Chen Fan had eaten there last night, so why did she go there again?
"Let's find another place, the smell there is just average."
Lao Xiao didn't care, "Then you make the arrangements."
Xiao Ying booked a Hunan restaurant and then sent a message to Chen Fan, "Old Xiao wants to treat you to dinner."
"Okay, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you."
Xiao Ying curled her lips, "Can you be a little sincere? Lao Xiao is worth hundreds of billions, and he wants you to treat me? I'm going to slap him in the face."
Chen Fan smiled, yes, no matter how rich he is, he cannot steal the limelight from other landlords.
This family is not an ordinary poor family. There is really no need to fight with others to pay the bill. Xiao Ying sent another message, "Let's just have a simple meal and don't be so polite. I'll send you the location."
When Chen Fan received the location, he saw that it was a Hunan restaurant and sighed that Xiao Ying was attentive.
In fact, Chen Fan is not particularly fond of seafood. He often eats it outside and gets tired of it if he eats too much.
On the contrary, I haven't tasted the taste of my hometown for a long time, and Xiao Ying's arrangement is just right today.
Lao Xiao and his daughter rushed to Hunan Restaurant. Although this place is not a five-star restaurant, it is one of the few high-end places.
Its business is very good and it is packed almost every day.
Moreover, in Jianghuai, there are too many entrepreneurs, large and small, and they all have a lot of money.
Therefore, places with higher consumption tend to have more people.
Lao Xiao said that he wanted to invite someone to accompany Mr. Chen, but Xiao Ying stopped him, "Mr. Chen doesn't like the excitement too much. The three of us can just eat something."
Lao Xiao said, "This is so bad. Will President Chen blame you?"
"What's weird? Is it weird to eat with people you don't know well?" Seeing his daughter insisting, Lao Xiao had to give up.
As soon as they entered the box, Chen Fan also arrived, and Lao Xiao immediately came out to greet them.
"Mr. Chen, long time no see. When did you come? Why didn't you notify me in advance?"
Chen Fan held his hand and said, "Isn't that just right? Don't be polite, don't be polite."
The two of them went to the private room on the second floor together. The private room was very large and the table was also very large. It could seat at least twenty people.
Lao Xiao insisted that Chen Fan take the main seat, but Chen Fan declined and said, "There are just three of us. We don't need to have so many rules. We can sit wherever we want."
Xiao Ying said, "He wanted to call his gang of drunkards to come over and accompany you, but I refused."
Chen Fan knew that there were many people in Lao Xiao's circle who drank well. They really drank two and a half kilograms of liquor and drank beer as much as they wanted.
Xiao Ying understood her, but Chen Fan actually didn't like this kind of overly lively scene.
As it is now, how good is it for the three of us to be simple?
Lao Xiao asked the waiter to open two bottles of Taitai, "I won't let you do more. The three of us will share it equally."
The main reason is that he wants to drink too much. He went to pay homage to his wife today, and he always feels depressed in his heart.
Xiao Ying: "..."
She knew that Lao Xiao had no other hobbies but liked to drink. Moreover, he had a good capacity for drinking and did not like to give in, so he often got drunk.
Chen Fan said, "I may not be able to drink so much."
Lao Xiao said proudly, "It's okay. If you get drunk, go sleep at my house."
Chen Fan's face became a little hot when he said it. Lao Xiao would definitely not know that he slept in his daughter's boudoir last night.
After the wine was served, the food was served.
There were only three people in the private room, and Lao Xiao ordered more than twenty dishes, filling a large table.
Chen Fan said, "It's such a waste. It's really unnecessary."
Lao Xiao didn't care, "Our rule here is to fill the table, so where do we go from here?"
"The owner of the shop here is from Hunan, and I like the fried pork with chili in their shop."
Chen Fan couldn't help but laugh. In the eyes of Hunan people, the dish of stir-fried pork with chili pepper is really a common dish. Anyone can cook it, but no matter how it is fried, mom's dish always tastes the best.
There was actually a plate of fried pork with chili on the dinner table today, but it was cooked very exquisitely by someone who runs a big restaurant, and it looked very appetizing.
Lao Xiao picked up the cup and said, "Mr. Chen, I respect you. Thank you for taking care of our father and daughter."
Of course Xiao Ying had to accompany him, but she could hear a faint sense of disappointment in Lao Xiao's words.
Dad was in a bad mood today, so Xiao Ying kept it in mind. Chen Fan also noticed it, raised his glass and said, "I respect you, you are the elder."
Lao Xiao drinks wine very simply and drinks it up in one gulp.
Of course Chen Fan couldn't refuse, so he stayed with him in silence.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very good. Xiao Ying got up and went out to answer the phone. Lao Xiao watched her walk out of the box and suddenly sat next to Chen Fan and put her hand on his shoulder, "Mr. Chen, I have always had a heart problem.
"
"What's the matter?"
Lao Xiao glanced at the door warily, "Do you think our Xiao Ying is a lesbian?"
