"Look at your good son, he's brought shame to our Lu Family. What on earth is he wearing? All he knows is eating, drinking, and having fun. This useless thing isn't even a tenth of his elder brother, Jing Han, worthless wretch."
The old man hung up the phone before Lu Qing An could speak.
Lu Qing An threw the cigarette in his hand to the ground, crushed it with his shiny leather shoe, and looked maliciously into the distance.
He wouldn't let it go so easily.
After work in the evening, Han Xi drove straight to the restaurant, parked her car in the parking lot, and took the elevator.
Today she wore a pair of black ankle-length skinny pants, a loose white sweater on top, white sneakers, and a high ponytail. With a slight brush of makeup on her delicately featured face, she looked youthful and energetic.
The elevator stopped on the third floor. As Han Xi stepped out, she ran into her half-sister Han Yaxin.
"Sis, you're here for dinner too? Dad's here with me and mom today. Do you want to join us?"
Han Yaxin's seemingly inviting words subtly informed Han Xi that their little family was having a delightful dinner together.
Han Xi glanced at her without showing any particular emotion, her lips curling into a slightly contemptuous smile: "Are you sure you want me to come? But since you're so sincerely inviting me, I can reluctantly consider it."
Upon hearing Han Xi's words, Han Yaxin's expression changed. She hadn't sincerely wanted to invite her; she just wanted to provoke her and make her sad.
"Since sis isn't keen on coming, I won't force you. You probably have plans too, so go ahead. I need to visit the restroom first."
With that, Han Yaxin hurriedly left in her high heels.
When Han Xi pushed the door and entered the private room, Li Manman and Chu Ci were already there, chatting. Hearing the door open, Su Manman looked up: "Doctor Han, you're late again. You're always late; I'm amazed."
Han Xi put her shoulder bag on the sofa, walked to the dining table, pulled out a chair, and sat down: "Missy, I have tons of work every day. Please don't hold it against me, considering it's tough for me."
"Then should Doctor Han punish herself with three drinks to apologize?" Li Manman teased.
"I have surgery tomorrow, can't drink." Han Xi brushed aside the small stray hair on her forehead and looked at Chu Ci: "Chu Goddess, how long are you staying this time?"
"Not more than three days, then I have a movie to start filming. What should I do? I don't want to leave you two at all." Chu Ci sipped her wine, her luscious lips taking on a slight sheen.
While they were talking, the waiter had already brought out all the dishes they had ordered.
As Han Xi peeled a shrimp, she said, "No worries, when we have time, the two of us will visit you on set."
"Ha, you're busy spinning around like a top all day, have time to visit the set?" Li Manman laughed mischievously and continued, "Chu Ci, you have no idea, the other day Han Xi d blood to save a guy. Unexpectedly, that Mr. Lu's grandpa was so overbearing, insisting he repay Han Xi's life-saving grace with marriage."
Chu Ci immediately got excited, her starry eyes sparkling with gossip: "Is that guy handsome?"
"Not only handsome, but he also seems rich. The supplements he sent to Han Xi were all ridiculously expensive."
