Chapter 1238 Are You Pretending to Be Addicted?

Chapter 1238 Are you pretending to be addicted?

Xi Luo rolled her eyes, "Mom, he doesn't need to..."

"Eat your steak." Mother Xi scolded, and looked at Zong Zhan with a smile again, "You young people have returned to the sea to do business for the first time. It is inevitable that you are inexperienced. You are all from your own family. Don't be polite to us."

Zong Zhan thanked him, and replied tactfully, "I will definitely not be polite, and I will ask my uncle and aunt to give me some advice."

Xi Luo touched him with her knee, tilted her head and said, "Are you pretending to be addicted?"

"No pretense." Zong Zhan's lips were still filled with the smell of wine, and he whispered teasingly against the woman's ear, "Speak from the heart."

Xi Luo swallowed, "Drink less, don't expect me to take care of you when you're drunk."

"When did I let you take care of me?" Zong Zhan held her hand under the table, "I still have this self-knowledge."

Xi Luo tilted her shoulders and approached him, "It seems that I have treated you badly, do you want to..." face.

"No." Zong Zhan's thin lips slightly raised, and he said in a low voice: "You only need to take care of my feelings."

A pun.

Xi Luo understood.

...

After dinner, it was not yet eight o'clock in the evening.

Xi Luo originally wanted to take Zong Zhan for a walk in the backyard, but Xi's parents called them to the living room to eat fruit.

There was still an unopened gift box in the corner of the coffee table.

Xi Luo held a piece of apple in her mouth and raised her head to signal, "Dad, why don't you open it and have a look?"

Although I don't know where the two elders came to the conclusion that Zong Zhan's family background is average, but as long as they open the gift, it should change.

The Xi family's parents looked at the beautifully packaged gift boxes on the ground, but they didn't expect much. They were probably ordinary skin care products or fruits.

The old couple looked at each other for a while, and in order to keep their hard-won son-in-law, they both agreed, "Okay, let's take it apart and have a look together."

Xi Ze quickly picked up the gift box, and the moment he put it down, he shook it slightly twice.

At this time, Xi's father gestured to open it, and said earnestly: "It's not easy for you young people to make money, just come back and spend less money, we don't need anything."

Although these two old immigrants have been immigrating for many years, their thoughts and consciousness still retain the good traditions of the country.

The wrapping paper of the first gift box was removed, revealing a brown red wine wooden box.

Father Xi didn't notice the sign on it, and joked with a clear expression, "This is a wine bar, Xiao Zong has a heart, I have two hobbies in my life, one is cigars, the other is red..."

As the wooden box was opened, before the last word was spoken, the old man automatically fell silent.

He stared dumbfounded at the red wine inside, and his breathing quickened a lot, "This...this is..."

Seeing this, Xi Mu and Xi Ze moved over.

Xi Luo answered the questions calmly: "The 1787 Château Margaux dry red wine should not be comparable to your 90-year-old Romanee-Conti."

"It's not as good as a fart!" The old man said excitedly to Xi Luo, "Zong, Zong, did you buy this wine?"

Zong Zhan played with Xi Luo's finger, and said calmly: "A friend collected it. I know you like red wine, so I bought it for you to taste."

try it?

Father Xi touched the bottle as if he had found a treasure, "Your friend would sell you the 1787 Château Margaux dry red?"

Zong Zhan nodded, "There are many in his family."

Father Xi: "Your friend is a collector?"

"It's not a collector." Xi Luo shrugged her shoulders with a smile, "It's the second son of William."

"The one who married Princess Margaery?"

"right."

The Xi family couple's eyes met, and soon fell into deep thought.

His daughter and Margaret are best friends, maybe she introduced Xiaozong to him.

The couple adjusted their emotions and continued to unwrap the second gift.

The box was small, and Xi's father guessed it might be cigars.

But he didn't make another sound, and calmly tore open the package.

With the foreshadowing of the red wine in the front, the rest is probably an ordinary meeting ceremony.

However, the moment Father Xi opened the package, he began to doubt life again, "Ma, Maya..."

Zong Zhan leaned on the armrest of the sofa with his thin lips slightly sideways, and said, "Maya Sikas cigar, uncle has good eyesight."

"I'm going to the bathroom, you guys talk first."

Father Xi carefully covered the cigar case made of camel bone, and hurriedly left the living room.

He came to the backyard, took out his mobile phone and called his assistant, "Are you sure Zong Zhan's family runs a small shop in the suburbs of the Imperial Capital?"

"Yes, Mr. Xi, what's the matter?"

Xi's father took a deep breath, which small shop owner could afford half a million cigars, and gave him ten of them?

The assistant was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Mr. Xi, is there a problem?"

"It's a big problem." Xi's father settled down, "Are you sure you want to open a small shop and not an international chain supermarket?"

"It's really a small shop." The assistant hurriedly flipped through the documents he had investigated, "The sect of the master, the war of the war, someone in the family is a soldier, the seven older sisters on the top, and the younger brother on the bottom, that's him."

Xi's father closed his eyes, "What the hell is Zhan Zhan, he is Zhan Zhan."

This Zong Zhan is not that Zong Zhan.

Then the assistant explained without embarrassment: "Mr. Xi, that...Zhanlan Zhan does exist, but the information is confidential. The private detective told me that he just started to investigate Zhanlan Zhan, and he received a report from the Ministry of Information. warn."

Father Xi: "You should clear your bonus this month."

After finishing the call, Father Xi felt fucked up.

He used that bottle of 90-year-old Romanée-Conti to entertain Xiaozong earlier, which was clearly a trick in front of his mother, Guan Gong.

Zong Zhan, whose identity is a state secret, is also a friend of William's second son.

All the information was connected together, and Xi's father's heart jumped twice. William's second son and Archbishop Shang Shaoyan are brothers.

That is about equal to Zong Zhan, who is also the archbishop.

Father Xi touched his heart, feeling as if he was about to suffocate.

His daughter is too good!

So, Xi's father returned to the living room, pretending to be calm and said: "Xiao Zhan, you see that you gave such an expensive gift for the first time when you came to the house, we old couple feel very sorry."

"Courtesy is light and affection is heavy, as long as you two elders don't dislike it."

Father Xi glanced at the cigar, "We definitely don't dislike it, but as elders, we can't accept such an expensive gift lightly. After all, you and Xiao Luo haven't even said anything, and her mother and I..."

Zong Zhan took the opportunity to answer: "Uncle, the gift is just to attract others. I came here this time mainly to propose a marriage to you two. Xiaoluo and I have been together for more than two years, and we are both of marriageable age. If your elders agree , I will arrange the wedding as soon as possible, marry her and go home."

Xi Luo suddenly curled up her fingers, retorted softly with flickering eyes, "Who has been with you for more than two years..."

Zong Zhan hooked his lips playfully, "Isn't it?"

Strictly speaking, it is not, but if the concept is vague, it is true that they have been together for more than two years.
