Father & Son

Chapter 153
"Come with me, please." Butler Cheng said in a timely voice.
With that, butler Cheng turned around and walked to the front. Li Xiao followed him, while Cheng Mu, who was a little slower, looked unhappy and stared at butler Cheng.
Stepped into the hall, the pattern of low-key luxury atmosphere leaped into the eyes. There were still a few rifles from the old age hung on the wall, and the rug was also covered with fake leather blankets. The whole hall gave people a magnificent and refreshing style, while butler Cheng who walked in front continued to walk without stopping, leading them across the corridor, and then into the dining room.
But as soon as he stepped into the dining room, Li Xiao was stunned. Even Cheng Mu behind him was stunned for an instant. But butler Cheng and everyone in the dining room looked calm.
Cheng Hai, a former admiral, was holding the pan while shaking it. His movements were very skillful. Then he picked up the pan and put the contents into the plate. Ning Xue on the side was holding refreshments. While Mr. Cheng sat at the dining table watching the news of current affairs. You Liqing was looking at Cheng Hai's figure with a shocked face, he seemed to be in a daze for a long time.
"Madam, Mr. Li and little master are here." Butler Cheng spoke out.
"Come here!" Ning Xue raised her face and immediately said with a loving smile. "Hurry up, come and sit down, you can already have a meal!"
"..." The dumbfounded Cheng Mu hadn't realized that his father would actually cook!
"Yes, ma'am." Li Xiao, who had seen a lot in the army, was quite calm.
"Ouch! Don't call me Madame, call me grandma."
"... grandma." Li Xiao felt his face stiff.
"Haha~ come on, sit next to me, Qing you sit next to Ah Xiao, whatever else is free!" Ning Xue smiled and arranged a seat at will to directly separated Cheng Mu who wanted to get to Li Xiao's side!
"Grandma... I..." Cheng Mu wanted to protest, but he was too embarrassed to do it because of the presence of his sweetheart and talking back to his elders.
"Sit down. It's time for a meal." Cheng Hai said calmly. Cheng Mu gritted his teeth and could only sit down.
You Liqing's expression was a bit bad, because Li Xiao, the guest was actually arranged by Ning Xue, and he was placed in the back seat. This feeling of being overwhelmed by the guest made him feel a little bad!

After washed his hands, Cheng Hai rushed in front of Cheng Mu and sat next to You Liqing. He and Li Xiao were separated by two places. The seat next to Ning Xue was Mr. Cheng. No one dared to grab this big seat. This situation made Cheng Mu's smiling face cracked, and it also made Li Xiao's expression unnatural.
Li Xiao was not stupid. This kind of arrangement was also a hint of hidden instruction. He forced down his emotions and tried to face the Cheng family with a sincere smile.
Everyone began to eat. Cheng Hai's craftsmanship was not good, but it was also not bad. After eating, You Liqing immediately said that he wanted to clean the dishes. Li Xiao immediately followed when he heard that, he was also very persistent.
The sink was filled with water and a pile of dishes was soaked. You Liqing stiffly wiped the dishtowel, while Li Xiao was skillfully washing the dishes. Obviously, he's very familiar with this housework.
"Haha, Ah Xiao, do you really like my son?" You Liqing's expression was natural, and he asked with a casual smile. He turned his head and looked at the young man beside him. He saw that his handsome and elegant face turned red instantly.
"Yes... have a good impression."
When You Liqing saw his face, which was much younger than him, and heard that there was only good feelings, his face remained unchanged, but his heart was bubbled with anger. His son was so excellent so that this kid only had a good impression!?
Looked at the happiness between his eyes and eyebrows, You Liqing thought of himself. He was also very happy back then. His husband held him in the palm of his hand as a treasure. But now, his husband only threw him a cold face, which made him only be humble. If he couldn't handle it well, he was about to face the danger of divorce!
Now he was so miserable, but Li Xiao beside him was about to usher in a happy life. Thinking of this, You Liqing's eyes were filled with coldness.
What an ironic contrast!
The deep resentment and unwillingness in his heart were as dark as it couldn't be turned away. Why was it that he was miserable, and the young people around him would get happiness!
No, no! They were obviously from the same origin, but why he was so unfortunate now, and the other person would get happiness!
In this case, he couldn't accept Li Xiao! He didn't even want to see Li Xiao stepped into the door of Cheng's house!
Plop! The plate in his hand fell into the water again and splashed the water. You Liqing didn't realize it. He fell into too deep thoughts and didn't extricate himself.
"Mr. You?" Li Xiao called out.
You Liqing's expression remained unchanged, only to deepen his smile, and turned to Li Xiao, "Okay, left the rest to me. You are a guest, at least let you do your best, dear boy, go out and talk to the old people more. Let Cheng Mu take you back later. "
"Uh... okay." Li Xiao was actually very nervous in his heart. After all, he was Cheng Mu's daddy. He vaguely felt that this man didn't like him and wanted to make a good pass. But he was worried that rebutting his words would make the elders even more unhappy. Li Xiao could only leave the kitchen.
You Liqing was still washing the dishes. After Li Xiao walked away, his face slowly raised a sneer.
"Li Xiao, you can't blame me. Just blame yourself for making me hate you. I'm Cheng Mu's daddy. Of course, I have the right to choose a daughter-in-law for my son. You're just the unqualified one."
In the hall, a group of people were sitting on the sofa and chatting. Li Xiao was still being pulled by Ning Xue to chat together. Cheng Zhong sat on the other side of Ning Xue. While the sofa was three seater, Cheng Mu was still sitting on the other side with a stiff smile.
The servant first served the fruit plate, then served drinks one after another, and put one cup at each person's hand. The service was very attentive.
"Ah Xiao, do you mean to join His Majesty's new pharmacy department?"
"Yes, grandma." Li Xiao said as he sat in a precarious manner.
"I heard that the department is going to accept for reformers and not accepting men." Cheng Mu said, there was a slight contempt in his tone. In his concept, the reformer should raise children at home. If he ran around all day like his daddy, then he couldn't resist the temptation to wear a bunch of green hats like his father, he couldn't bear this situation!
"Cheng Mu, you don't need to express your opinions on the new department." Cheng Hai said coldly.
