Seeing Su Mingzhe's ever-changing expression and his delay in expressing his position, and seeing the anxious expression on his eldest daughter-in-law Wu Fei's face, Su Daqiang finally realized that something was wrong.
Although Su Daqiang looks like a dull gourd at ordinary times, he is not stupid, he is very smart at heart!
So he immediately had a bad premonition and became anxious: "Mingzhe..."
Seeing the performance of Su Mingzhe and his wife, Lin Li also showed a thoughtful expression, and he felt enlightened.
Judging from Su Mingzhe's hesitation and Wu Fei's actions in interrupting him, it undoubtedly confirmed his previous guess, that is, Su Mingzhe was most likely to be laid off by his company like the original plot.
So he leaned close to Su Mingyu's ear and whispered: "Mingyu, your eldest brother seems to have something to hide. Why don't you take them to dinner first? By the way, I can settle Sister Wu Fei, Xiaomi and the others."
In fact, he didn't need to say anything. Su Mingyu on the side also noticed that her elder brother and sister-in-law were unusual. However, after Lin Li reminded her, she immediately interrupted her father's words and did not let him continue.
"Dad, my elder brother and sister-in-law rushed to the hospital as soon as they got off the plane. They haven't eaten yet. Mainly because Xiaomi is still young and we can't let her go hungry. I'd better take them to eat first and then come see you!"
Hearing her words, Wu Fei didn't know that Mingyu was helping them out, so he quickly said, "Yes, we didn't eat anything on the plane, and we will be hungry by now."
After saying that, she looked at Su Mingzhe and said, "Mingzhe, how about we listen to Mingyu and go eat something first? Xiaomi must be hungry too."
Su Mingzhe hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay!"
Then he turned his head and said to Su Daqiang: "Dad, let's go have a meal first, and then we'll see you after eating."
Su Daqiang opened his mouth, but in the end nothing came out.
What could he say?
Is it possible to deny food to the daughter-in-law and granddaughter?
So Su Daqiang could only watch as Su Mingyu and Lin Li led Su Mingzhe's family of three out of the ward.
Then Su Mingcheng and his wife were outside again and did not come in.
In other words, in the blink of an eye, he was the only one left in the ward.
Looking at the empty room, Su Daqiang's heart sank!
…
After leaving the ward, Su Mingzhe called Su Mingcheng and his wife who were outside, saying that he wanted to invite them all to have lunch together.
It was just because he had been abroad all year round and was no longer familiar with Suzhou today, so he had to leave it to Su Mingcheng to make arrangements.
However, it was dinner time at this time, so Su Mingcheng called two high-end restaurants where he usually entertained customers, and was told that there were no seats for the time being, and that some ordinary places were not of high quality.
After all, it was difficult for his eldest brother, sister-in-law, and niece Xiaomi to return home, and Su Mingyu and Shi were also there. The arrangements were so poor that he felt that he couldn't save his face.
Just when he felt embarrassed and was about to search for a hotel on his mobile phone, Lin Li said: "Don't bother, I will make arrangements."
After saying that, he directly called Xinyueju, the restaurant where he and Mingyu usually went to deliver meals to Su Daqiang, and asked them to arrange a private room.
After making the call, since Xiaomi kept clamoring to stay with her aunt, Wu Fei and Xiaomi got into Lin Li's car, while Su Mingzhe went to take Su Mingcheng's car.
While chatting on the way, Su Mingyu pretended to ask casually: "Sister-in-law, why did you and your eldest brother come back suddenly? In fact, Dad's injury is not serious, he just sprained his foot. There is no need for you to make a special trip back.
So as not to affect your work."
Speaking of work, Wu Fei's expression suddenly froze, and then he smiled very reluctantly and said: "We haven't been very busy recently. Isn't it because Mingzhe is worried about his father's injury? It just so happened that I also thought that I haven't seen my father at home for a long time.
Mom, so I just came back with him."
"So that's it." Su Mingyu nodded.
Although she instinctively felt that the sister-in-law was not telling the truth, she did not ask the truth, but continued to tease Xiaomi.
When we arrived at the dining place, everyone had their own thoughts, so the atmosphere at the table was not very harmonious.
Su Mingzhe and Wu Fei naturally couldn't be too interested because of Su Daqiang's matter.
As for Su Mingcheng, he felt that Lin Li was just showing off by bringing them here.
As an out-and-out Suzhou native, and he travels abroad for a long time due to work, he has naturally heard of the name Xinyueju.
This is the top private restaurant in Suzhou. Even if you have money, you may not be able to eat there. You must also have a certain status or connections to book a seat here.
Among the people present, only Julie was really looking forward to this meal. She had also heard that the dishes here were delicious.
However, seeing the dull atmosphere on the table, she couldn't show her excitement.
Fortunately, the atmosphere was broken after the food was served. Even Su Mingcheng, who had a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart, could not resist the temptation of the delicious food and couldn't help but feast on it.
Then, the meal was finally finished without any fuss.
During this period, Su Mingzhe originally wanted to have a good talk about his father with his two younger siblings, but seeing that the three of them hadn't sat together for a good meal for a long time, he didn't want to break this rare atmosphere.
.
In addition, he had been harboring Su Daqiang's matter in his mind, and he didn't know how to explain to his father in the future, delaying his going to the United States, and he had no interest in mentioning it.
After the meal was finished, Su Mingzhe rushed to pay the bill. The reason was that as the eldest son of the Su family, and because it had been agreed in advance that he was the guest for the meal, he should pay for the meal.
But Lin Li did not give him this opportunity and directly told him that he could sign the contract here.
Su Mingzhe didn't agree at first, but when he saw the amount on the bill, which was as high as tens of thousands, he stopped insisting.
He never expected that this meal would be so expensive.
If you really ask him to shell out so much money, it is tantamount to cutting his flesh!
However, as the top private restaurant in Suzhou, the per capita consumption here is about two thousand yuan, which is also a normal level. Some of the high-end restaurants that Lin Li and Su Mingyu went to in the past were far more than this.
After coming out, when no one was paying attention, Wu Fei glared at Su Mingzhe, extremely dissatisfied with his behavior of rushing to pay the bill.
Could it be that he had no idea about his situation, yet he still had to jump out and slap him in the face to make a fool of himself?
Is his face, the boss of the Su family, really that important?
