“They are both Xia Rut s father and uncle. As Xia Ruts boyfriend, you didn’t buy them gifts or give them money; you just packed some food for them. Are you still reluctant?”
Wen Shu grimaced and said stiffly, “Of course not.”
The menu had now reached Uncle Chen’s hands, and he ordered a meat dish and a vegetarian dish without hesitation. He added, “I’ve never had a chance to eat such expensive food before. Now that I’m here, I’d like to order two dishes I enjoy.”
Uncle Chen looked at Wen Shu and asked, “You don’t mind me ordering so much, do you?
Wen Shu struggled to respond, “Of course not. You’re our elder, and it’s perfectly fine to order. Even if we can’t finish it, we can take the leftovers home.”
When the menu reached Xia Chen, he only ordered a soup, and Wen Shu didn’t order anything at all.
Xia Ru sensed that Wen Shu was now upset, so she refrained from ordering dishes and instead asked for a pot of tea.
She sat next to Wen Shu, intending to hold his hand, but he evaded her touch.
He shot Xia Ru an annoyed look and said, “I need to use the restroom. Excuse me for a moment.”
He signaled to Xia Ru with his eyes.
Xia Ru understood that Wen Shu wanted to talk to her privately. So, she stood up and said, “I’ll go to the restroom too.”
They both stepped outside, and Wen Shu pulled Xia Ru into a corner.
His eyes were blazing as he stared at her. “Are these really your relatives?
Didn’t you say your family was intelligent? Is this their idea of intelligence?
Swindling my money in front of my employees.
“Coming to a restaurant to eat like they haven’t had a meal in centuries.
“Xia Ru, you’re clearly deceiving me.”
Xia Ru pleaded immediately, “Wen Shu, I didn’t expect my grandma and my mom to suddenly behave this way. It must be Xia Chen who said something to them.
“My grandma had a tough life in her earlier years, raising three sons on her own. Naturally, she values money more.
“My mom can only follow my grandma’s lead.
“What happened today must be because Xia Chen influenced my grandma to scam your money.”
Wen Shu sneered, “They are all part of the Xia family, so why is your cousin’s family so well-behaved and elegant? The couple next door who sell clothes, they’re your aunt and uncle, right? I’ve dealt with them before, and they speak and behave properly, without such greed.
“Take another look at your mother and grandmother; they’re worlds apart from Xia Chen’s parents!”
Xia Ru was also upset.
Wen Shut s disdain for her family, she could tolerate because she knew her family could be petty at times.
But she couldn’t stand him praising Xia Wan’s family.
Wen Shu clearly knew that she despised Xia Wan’s family the most.
Xia Ru glared at Wen Shu and said, “So, do you really love me? If you do, what’s wrong with getting a few sets of clothes for my grandma and mom? You said it yourself that this restaurant was opened for me, so why do you get so angry about buying my family a few pieces of clothing? “Wen Shu, were all those sweet words you said to me fake?”
Wen Shu was caught off guard.
He wanted to say, “Of course they were fake.”
He chose Xia Ru because he was attracted to her youth and hoped she would give him a son.
He already had a wife, but she was fierce, and the only reason he had become successful was because of her support.
So, he couldn’t divorce his wife.
Instead, he needed an excuse to do business in another city.
On one hand, he could find a mistress, and on the other hand, he could secretly have a son.
His wife had only given birth to a daughter, and doctors said she might never be able to have more children.
So, he didn’t feel like he was doing anything wrong.
But Xia Ru wasn’t pregnant yet, and he needed to keep her stable for now.
As soon as Xia Ru had a son, he could run away with the child.
Thinking this way, Wen Shu regained his composure.
He smiled at Xia Ru and said, “Of course, I care about you. I was impulsive earlier, and I apologize..”
