C417 What Do You Think
This was one of the highest and most authentic French restaurants in Fengxiang City. The people who came and went were basically the most outstanding people in Fengxiang City. Of course, there were also some young masters from the bailiffs and wealthy families.
However, tonight, this restaurant was closed for Jiang Xuyao.
There were no other customers in the hall except for the dim blue lights, waiters, and pianists.
At the door, several bodyguards were waiting in a solemn manner. They stood at the door of the restaurant with cold expressions on their faces. They looked imposing and intimidating.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, a Bentley that was respected as noble, elegant, and luxurious drove over slowly under the illumination of the street lamps.
The Bentley had just stopped when the big man standing at the entrance of the restaurant immediately walked over and opened the door skillfully.
Xue Chen and Shen Xuening walked out of the car.
Looking at the restaurant in front of them, their faces were full of complicated emotions. There was a trace of pain in the depths of their eyes.
However, this trace of pain was concealed well by Xue Chen. Shen Xuening did not notice anything.
Shen Xuening looked at Xue Chen who stood at the door without moving and could not help but ask, "Xue Chen, let's go in."
Xue Chen took a deep breath and said, "Okay."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Chen lifted his foot and walked into the restaurant with steady steps. Shen Xuening intimately held Xue Chen's arm.
What should come would come. What should be faced would always be faced. Xue Chen knew that this was the moment he was facing. He could not retreat, nor could he retreat. He could only move forward.
To face Jiang Xuyao, to face his own f * cking background.
After Xue Chen and Shen Xuening walked into the dining room, Jiang Xuyao and Jiang Ehuang were sitting on the sofa in the dining room. They were twisting their bodies uneasily.
Especially Jiang Xuyao. His previous wisdom and calm heart were filled with nervousness and anxiety at this moment. It made him restless and kept twisting his body.
In the next moment, Xue Chen and Shen Xuening entered Jiang Xuyao's line of sight.
After seeing Xue Chen, Jiang Xuyao's eyes, which had been through countless hardships, swept across Xue Chen's body greedily. He looked at every inch of Xue Chen's skin and saw the marks left on his face due to the hardships and vicissitudes of life.
He had not seen Xue Chen for more than 20 years. Now, he had grown up. He had become a real man. What made Jiang Xuyao the most miserable was that he had become a real man. There was no sign of him in the course of his son's life, nor of his participation. He didn't even have a trace of his mother. No matter what, he had to rely on himself to survive. He was tired, tired, tired. Even though he was in pain, he still had to bear the burden alone. However, he couldn't participate in Xue Chen's life.
As a parent, he was unable to participate in his son's life. One had to say that this was a huge irony, a type of mockery.
These years, had he been well? How did his uncle treat him?
His abilities must have suffered a lot, right?
Following Martial God without parents, he was like an orphan. He was afraid that he had suffered a lot of contempt. He had cried before, and he had told Martial God about it. He had complained about why the heavens had treated him like this.
There was no sign of him, Jiang Xuyao, or any of his grievances. There was no sign of him taking part in this. He didn't even have the protection of a father. How painful was this?
This was the second time Xue Chen and Jiang Xuyao had met.
The first time was after the press conference. Although Jiang Xuyao had been watching Xue Chen at the time, he did not take a closer look at him. At the same time, Xue Chen did not know that Jiang Xuyao was his father. This was the second time Xue Chen knew about it.
Both of them were well aware of the relationship between the two of them.
When Xue Chen saw Jiang Xuyao for the first time, he only felt a sense of familiarity. But now, when he looked at Jiang Xuyao, Xue Chen had a feeling of hatred and resentment...
He really wanted to beat Jiang Xuyao up right now and then question him about why he had abandoned him and his mother.
However, Xue Chen didn't do anything. Instead, he suppressed the urge to make a move and tried to calm himself down.
After looking at each other for a while, Jiang Xuyao looked at Xue Chen and Shen Xuening with a kind expression and said, "You're here. Quickly sit down."
Jiang Xuyao stood up and pulled out a chair, waiting for Xue Chen to take his seat.
If anyone else saw this and was filmed by the reporters, they would definitely appear in the headlines tomorrow.
Jiang Xuyao was the second-in-command of Huaxia, but now he stood up and pulled out a chair for someone to invite him to sit down. It was such an honor.
Unfortunately, Xue Chen did not sit on the chair that Jiang Xuyao pulled out. Instead, he let Shen Xuening sit down.
Shen Xuening did not know what to do about this. How could she not know that this was a chair that Jiang Xuyao had brought out for her son? But now, he wanted her to sit on it.
"Miss Shen, don't stand. Sit!" Jiang Xuyao said without any embarrassment.
"Thank you, Prime Minister Jiang."
"No, Prime Minister Jiang. Is there anyone else here? If you don't mind, just call me Uncle Jiang from now on!" Jiang Xuyao said with a smile.
If it was an ordinary person, they would be happy to receive such a warm welcome from Jiang Xuyao. However, Shen Xuening was not an ordinary person. She did not panic and nodded naturally.
After Xue Chen and Shen Xuening sat down, Jiang Ehuang immediately snapped her fingers at the waiter, indicating that they could serve the dishes.
After Xue Chen entered the restaurant, he did not say a word from beginning to end. He just looked at Jiang Xuyao calmly and naturally.
However, his heart had already started to churn. It was like a huge wave was hitting the shore, attacking wave after wave.
That elegant piano piece and the blue light seemed to be embellishing the silence between the two.
The atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
Jiang Xuyao wanted to talk to Xue Chen, but he did not know where to start. Jiang Xuyao also noticed that Xue Chen was not as polite to him as before. Instead, he was full of vigilance. To be more accurate, it was hatred!
Shen Xuening and Jiang Ehuang knew that Xue Chen was Jiang Xuyao's son. They wanted to break the depressing atmosphere and find a topic to talk about, but they did not know what to say to break the depressing atmosphere.
Finally, Jiang Xuyao could not help but break the depressing atmosphere. "Xuening, you and Xue Chen are married. Why is there no banquet?"
Jiang Xuyao planned to start with Shen Xuening and then slowly change the topic to Xue Chen.
"I am a little busy with work. Besides, banquets are just a formality." Shen Xuening said lightly, "But when we have time, Xue Chen and I will definitely make up for the banquet, right, Xue Chen?"
Shen Xuening was very smart. How could she not know that Jiang Xuyao wanted to talk to Xue Chen through her?
Xue Chen nodded. "I will listen to you."
Jiang Xuyao wanted to talk to Xue Chen through Shen Xuening, but Xue Chen remained silent. Even if he spoke, it was just a few words. It seemed like he did not care about words.
Jiang Ehuang also wanted to talk to Xue Chen and change the topic, but Xue Chen was always indifferent and perfunctory.
When the dishes were served, Xue Chen was even more focused on eating. He did not say a word.
After a few bites, Xue Chen pushed the plates, knives, forks and other cutlery in front of him to the side. "It's not delicious!"
As he spoke, Xue Chen drank another mouthful of red wine, but then he said, "This wine is not good either!"
Xue Chen put down his glass and looked around in self-mockery.
"What do you want to eat? What do you want to drink?" Jiang Xuyao asked without hesitation.
"BBQ, mutton skewers, scalding knives!"
"I'll get someone to prepare it right away!"
Xue Chen did not stop Jiang Xuyao. He knew, As long as Jiang Xuyao said one word, it did not matter if it was a western restaurant or not, these things could be served.
It was good to admit that he had the right. Not long after, someone delivered the knife and barbecue that Xue Chen needed.
After Xue Chen saw these things, he immediately opened a bottle of scalding knife and drank half of it like cold water. "Awesome!"
As he spoke, Xue Chen picked up the mutton skewers on the table and started to eat them.
For some reason, looking at Xue Chen's appearance, Jiang Xuyao felt as if a sharp knife was stabbed into his heart. Just a breath of air was enough to make him want to suffocate.
How did he survive all these years?
When Jiang Ehuang saw Xue Chen's appearance, it was the same. Shen Xuening felt her heart ache. She seemed to have guessed why Xue Chen would be like this.
She seemed to have guessed why Xue Chen was so abnormal today.
"I'll drink with you!" Jiang Xuyao also picked up a bottle of scalding knife and opened it, directly drying half of it.
After drinking half a bottle of wine, Jiang Xuyao's face immediately became slightly red.
This was the first time he and Xue Chen drank wine. It was the first time in their lives.
"Do you like this kind of wine very much?"
"Yes!" Xue Chen said.
"Can you tell me why?"
"Sounds good."
Xue Chen didn't want to talk to Jiang Xuyao.
Jiang Xuyao took a deep breath when he saw this.
At this moment, he knew very well that Xue Chen must have known everything. Otherwise, he wouldn't treat him like this.
"Do you know everything?"
After hearing Jiang Xuyao's words, Xue Chen suddenly raised his head. A stern look immediately shot out from his eyes.
When he looked at Jiang Xuyao, his eyes were filled with a fierce killing intent. He looked like a lion with hair standing on end. "What do you think?"
