Chapter 245 Have you received the child support?

Yan Hongzhi found it difficult to describe his feelings at this moment.

His daughter, whom he had not seen for many years, appeared at the door of the hotel box where he was personally hosting a banquet, leaving him completely unprepared.

The shock in his eyes didn't know what emotion to translate into.

Is it a sudden surprise after not seeing each other for many years, or is it the embarrassment of thinking that his wife and children are sitting next to him, or is it the curiosity and worry about his daughter's current life?

Yan Hongzhi doesn't know.

As an adult in his forties or fifties at least, and the host of tonight's treat, Yan Hongzhi's complex emotions were all buried deep in his eyes. They were slightly highlighted and then quickly restrained.

His expression was stiff for a moment, and the next second, Yan Hongzhi smiled, looked at Xu Xing, who called him a very affectionate name, and then said: "It would be fun if there are more children. Come in and sit down. The food has started to be served. Let's

Eat it while it’s hot.”

That's what he said, but Yao Yuanyuan was holding Yan Chijuan's hand, but suddenly he couldn't hold it.

What Yao Yuanyuan didn't know was that Yan Chijuan's mood swings at this moment were much greater than Yan Hongzhi's.

For Yan Hongzhi, the arrival of Yan Chijuan was just a meeting with his daughter whom he had not seen for many years.

But for Yan Chijuan, not only was he meeting his irresponsible father, but he was also sitting at the same table to eat with his future parents-in-law.

Although we had breakfast together this morning, it was relatively informal after all.

This meal now is, after all, a relatively formal meal in a hotel.

When she thought that she had to face her divorced father and have to eat with Xu Xing's parents, she panicked inside and took half a step back, feeling quite flustered and resistant.

Yao Yuanyuan didn't know the relationship between Yan Hongzhi and Yan Chijuan, and thought that Yan Chijuan was just shy because he suddenly met Xu Xing's parents.

"What are you afraid of?" Yao Yuanyuan leaned into Yan Chijuan's ear and said, "Xu Xing is also here, what do you have to be afraid of?"

This sentence fell into Yan Chijuan's ears. Although it was just a comfort from Yao Yuanyuan, for Yan Chijuan, the effect was particularly good.

Looking past Yan Hongzhi and the two people beside him, Yan Chiju looked at his future parents-in-law, and then at Xu Xing. Seeing that he seemed to be about to stand up and come over to greet him, he finally did not flinch anymore, and quickly lowered his head and walked to Xu Xing's side.

On the seat.

Xu Xing had already stood up and helped her open the seat.

Yan Chijuan didn't rush to sit down. He held his hands in front of his belly. After looking around, he said quietly but politely: "Hello, uncle and aunt."

"Okay, okay, jealous, you can sit down too." Sun Wanhui, who was next to Xu Xing, was so happy when she saw the little girl Yan Chiju, she couldn't control her smile.

Pei Qinglan looked at Sun Wanhui and Xu Jian's reactions and felt a little satisfied.

One story is that Yan Chijuan has been living in their Internet cafe for more than two years. Because she has a bad temper and is unwilling to accept charity from others, she has been relying on game power leveling to make a living.

If it were just an ordinary child, Pei Qinglan would have called the police and asked someone to send the child back and not take him in at all.

That is to say, Yan Chijuan's character is more to her liking, and she had even planned to train him well before.

I just didn't expect that after being intercepted by Xu Xing, Yan Chijue would start to develop in another direction.

The soft and fragile side of my heart was discovered by a very good boy, and he was willing to tolerate and care for me.

This made Yan Chiju grow up more and more like a normal girl.

Pei Qinglan didn't know whether this was good or bad, but since the jealousy was already like this, she had no intention of getting involved again.

Especially when she saw that Xu Jian and Sun Wanhui liked the little girl Yan Chijuan very much, she felt relieved.

"Have you met his parents before?"

Seeing Sun Wanhui shouting "Jianjie" so enthusiastically, Yao Yuanyuan was a little surprised, and whispered into Yan Chijiu's ear.

Yan Chijiu nodded shyly, wanting to reply quietly, but also thought that whispering on the table might not be a good idea, so he took out his phone and put it aside, listening carefully to the conversation between the adults.

Then I took the time to send a few WeChat messages to Yao Yuanyuan.

[Yanchi vinegar]: When we had a dinner together during the National Day before, we happened to bump into him when we were going to the toilet.

【Yan Chiju】: Then yesterday I went to Xu Xing’s house to spend the night, and I saw him in the morning...

【Yao Yuanyuan】: Spend the night?!

[Yao Yuanyuan]: Damn it! Did I miss some important plot? Why did I suddenly skip to the night?

[Yanchi vinegar]: Don’t think blindly!

[Yanchi vinegar]: I slept in the guest bedroom.

[Yan Chi Jian]: Yesterday, Xu Xing and his roommates went to have a barbecue and drink, so I drove him home. It was very late at that time, so Xu Xing didn't let me go back and stayed overnight.

【Yao Yuanyuan】: Tsk tsk tsk.

She had previously felt that Yan Chijue and Xu Xing were very playful. Although Yan Chijue had never exposed her relationship with her boss in the company, Yao Yuanyuan knew a lot about it.

In particular, Yao Yuanyuan knew all about the shared tenancy relationship between Yan Chiju and Xu Xing, as well as the bond between the two before the company started.

This is also the reason why Yao Yuanyuan is thinking of bringing Yan Chijiu here today.

I just didn't expect that this little girl would go to other people's homes to see her uncle and aunt without saying anything.

"Why were you brought here?" Xu Xing also leaned into Yan Chijie's ear and asked in a very affectionate manner.

Yan Chijiu's body trembled when he blew hot air into her ears. She didn't look at Yan Hongzhi who was sitting across from her, but just responded in a low voice: "It's not all Sister Yuanyuan, and you didn't tell me that it would be like this."

"Are you okay then?" Xu Xing asked worriedly, his hand under the table gently holding Yan Chijuan's little hand.

Yan Chijiu shook his head, knowing what Xu Xing meant.

After all, he is his father. He just eats like this and doesn't say anything.

Feeling the warmth of Xu Xing's palm, her heart gradually calmed down.

…

The waiter brought dishes to the table one by one, and the dishes on the table gradually became richer.

The children were relatively quiet and just ate obediently. Xu Xing and Yao Yuanyuan would occasionally whisper to Yan Chijuan. Most of the conversations at the dinner table were made by a few adults.

Among them, Yan Hongzhi and Xu Jian had the loudest voices. They clinked glasses and drank while chatting. The topic quickly moved from factory trivial matters to national events.

As for the women, Qu Yaru was very knowledgeable about how to treat others, and she had a pleasant chat with Sun Wanhui. Pei Qinglan on the side occasionally chimed in, but her thoughts were still on what Xu Xing said earlier.

While eating, Xu Xing glanced at Yan Hongzhi's reaction from time to time, then looked at Qu Yaru and Yan Chilong next to him, and then glanced at Yan Chiju beside him. He always felt that such a dramatic scene was difficult to describe.

I don't know what my father-in-law means either.

Although they have been divorced a long time ago and their daughter has been raised by her ex-wife, as long as she cares a little about her daughter's condition, she won't let Yan Chiju stay in an Internet cafe for two years.

Xu Xing also had no idea whether there was any hidden secret here, or whether Yan Hongzhi really didn't care about Yan Chijuan's daughter at all, and simply focused all his energy on his new family and son.

It actually doesn’t take long to finish a meal.

In the middle of the journey, Yan Chijuan whispered to Xu Xing to go to the toilet, then got up and walked out of the box.

Yan Hongzhi, who was opposite him, didn't know whether he was really in need of urination or just pretending. About half a minute after Yan Chijiu went out, he also stood up and said, "I'm going to use the toilet."

Among those present here at this time, apart from Yan Hongzhi himself, only Xu Xing knew about the relationship between Yan Hongzhi and Yan Chijuan.

His eyes flickered as he watched Yan Hongzhi open the box door and walk out, feeling a little hesitant for a moment.

After waiting for about half a minute, Xu Xing couldn't wait any longer, so he stood up from the chair, said something to Sun Wanhui, walked out of the box and walked towards the bathroom.

…

Yan Chi's jealous mood didn't know how to describe it at this time.

After walking out of the box, my body, which had been tense, finally relaxed a little.

She took a long breath, slumped down her little body, and found her way to the bathroom under the guidance of the waiter.

She actually didn't mind eating with Xu Xing's parents.

Especially this morning when she was caught by her uncle and aunt at home, and after having breakfast together, Yan Chiju knew that her uncle and aunt were both very nice parents and had no intention of making things difficult for her at all.

If tonight was just a dinner party for Pei Qinglan, Sun Wanhui and Xu Jian, Yan Chijuan would still be very shy on the surface, but she would probably be very happy in her heart.

It's just that at this dinner, there was an extra Yan Hongzhi.

In other words, there is an extra family.

Qu Yaru and Yan Chilong... Yan Chijuan didn't know their names, but when she escaped from her mother, she did see these two people downstairs at her father's house.

Such a seemingly warm and harmonious family may not need an outsider to ruin the atmosphere.

Yan Chijiu was thinking about this and had no intention of looking for Yan Hongzhi.

Even if they meet now, she will simply treat him as if he does not have this father and is just a stranger.

What Yan Chijuan is worried about now is not Yan Hongzhi's side of things at all, but whether Sun Wanhui and Xu Jian will treat her as gently as they do now after learning about her family situation.

This made her feel inferior and distressed for no reason, and she couldn't think of a way to deal with that situation.

If her uncle and aunt dislike her with such a background, will the good relationship between herself and Xu Xing disappear immediately?

Deep down in her heart, she still believed in Xu Xing.

But she was even more unwilling to see the rift between Xu Xing and her parents because of her own problems.
