The actor's cannon fodder ex-husband thinks about it

Chapter 40

??When eating hot pot seasoning bowls, Jiang Ci is used to only adding sesame oil and garlic. If you feel too spicy after eating, then add a little vinegar to the bowl to neutralize it.But Xu Yu'an is used to adding a little bit of everything, sesame oil, minced garlic, green onions, coriander, crushed peanuts and crushed sesame seeds... and a little soy sauce, vinegar and salt, the small bowl is full.

??Jiang Ci looked at the bowl in front of Xu Yu'an, and then at his own. He couldn't understand why Xu Yu'an put so many ingredients in the bowl. Wouldn't it be strange?

?? Xu Yu'an didn't quite understand that Jiang Ci only added mashed garlic to the bowl.

?? But it's a personal habit. The two of them looked at each other and started eating silently without making a sound.

??The beef was the first to be boiled in the pot, but then Xu Yuan poured a lot of vegetables into the pot. After talking for so long, he didn't start eating until the pot was boiling. The beef was a bit old to the bite.

??Jiang Ci felt a little pity, and silently chewed and ate the beef slowly, and then used a colander to help pick up a piece of shrimp slippery.Rolled in the bowl, it was still a little hot in the mouth, but it was lightly bitten, the smooth and tender meat of the shrimp mixed with the flavor of the spicy hot pot soup, the taste was great.

??Jiang Ci's eyes lit up. After eating the food in his mouth, he said to Xu Yu'an, "It's delicious!"

?? Xu Yu'an was infected by his smile, and raised his eyebrows a little proudly: "I have already said that this restaurant tastes good."

??After eating for a while, Jiang Ci's cheeks flushed from the heat, and he felt a little hot.

??He put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, got up and took off his windbreaker coat and hung it on the hanger, then sat back in a sweater that was not too thick or not too thin, and continued to pick up and eat vegetables obediently.

??Vegetarian leaf didn't put down the pot until the end, sucked up the hot and spicy soup and ate it into his mouth, Jiang Ci accidentally choked.He quickly swallowed the food, then stretched out his hand to take the water glass that was handed to him, and took a few deep breaths.

??Xu Yu'an helplessly patted him on the back: "I was choked, shouldn't my first reaction be to spit it out quickly? Wouldn't it be more uncomfortable to continue eating? Are you stupid?"

??Jiang Ci had water in his mouth, and it was inconvenient to speak, so he shook his head in response.

?? After the discomfort of being choked was relieved, Jiang Ci put down the water glass and took out a wet towel to wipe his mouth and hands.

??Xu Yu'an raised his eyebrows: "Don't eat?"

?? Jiang Ci said "hmm": "I'm full, you continue to eat, I won't rush you."

??Xu Yu'an thought it was fun, and said with a smile: "I choked on it, so I stopped eating? Like a child who wants to save face..."

"That's not true." Jiang Ci slightly opened his eyes wide, feeling wronged, "I was going to eat some green vegetables for the last time, and then stop eating, it doesn't matter if I choked or not!"

?? "Oh, that's it." Xu Yu'an nodded, not sure if he believed it or not.

?? Jiang Ci glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and continue eating, don't look at me anymore."

??Xu Yu'an was happy: "You said just now that you wouldn't urge me, but now you're embarrassed and start urging me?"

?? Jiang Ci ignored him and looked down at his phone.

??Xu Yu'an smiled to himself for a while, then continued to eat.After another ten minutes, Xu Yu'an also put down his chopsticks and rang the calling bell to call the receptionist to check out.

?? Jiang Ci's face was still a little red from the heat, but he didn't feel cold for a while, and he didn't think of putting on his coat.

?? After paying the bill, the two got up and were about to leave, only then did Xu Yu'an go to the hanger and help him get the coat.

??Jiang Ci came to his senses, and put it on a little embarrassedly: "Thank you."

?? Xu Yu'an raised his hand and rubbed Jiang Ci's hair.

??Recently, being caught off guard by Xu Yu'an rubbing his head all the time, Jiang Ci could no longer respond to the stress.He was accustomed to silently lowering his eyes, and was about to go out when he remembered... Besides the two of them, there was a receptionist in this room!There is someone else!

?? Xu Yu'an rubbed his head just now, and he was seen!

??Jiang Ci patted the hair on his forehead, and continued to walk out with a calm expression.

?? He thought...the employees here should all have confidentiality agreements.Even if you saw the scene just now, you probably wouldn't go out and spread gossip about Xu Yu'an, right?

?? It doesn't matter if there are scandals, the worst is...Xu Yu'an is his brother, and the two of them are relatives.

??That's it~

?? Walking the same way as when they came, the two returned to the underground parking lot, drove away from the building where the restaurant is located, and went to Su's house.

?? "Guess, what are the people of the Su family doing now?" Xu Yu'an suddenly smiled and asked briskly.

?? Jiang Ci thought about it seriously, and then suddenly paused: "Actually... Su Huinian will come back today, I was the only one talking about it. I just remembered it, and you don't seem to have any Suspected. What if I'm telling a lie?"

??Xu Yuan smiled: "If that person didn't come back today, then the person who gave you the news must be wrong. We, Jiang Xiaoci, will not lie to me."

??Jiang Ci pursed his lower lip, then whispered, "I will..."

??Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows: "What?"

?? Jiang Ci coughed lightly, did not repeat, but answered Xu Yuan's question just now: "The people of the Su family... are celebrating Su Huinian's birthday now. After all, the family has not seen each other for a long time, and it is rare to be reunited. .Maybe they went outside to celebrate, and we'll miss out."

?? "It's empty, then we will sit in the living room of the Su family and wait for them to come back, and give them a birthday surprise." Xu Yu'an took the conversation.

?? Jiang Ci: "..."

??It sounds...in fact, quite interesting.

??However, Jiang Ci and Xu Yu'an did not miss out on this trip. Except for Su's father Su Huai, Su's mother Ding Qi and the eldest son Su Chengfeng were all at home, and Su Huinian...had indeed... came back.

??Jiang Ci even guessed right, the people of the Su family are indeed celebrating Su Hui's birthday.

??The servant who came to open the door froze when he saw Xu Yu'an and Jiang Ci, and then greeted them awkwardly.

?? Xu Yu'an had a smile on his face, as if he didn't notice the embarrassment of the other party: "What's the matter, aren't uncles and aunts at home?"

?? Hearing this, the servant was stunned.

?? For a long time, Jiang Ci has always called "Papa Su" and "Mama Ding", always with a surname.Xu Yu'an yelled "Mom and Dad" naturally, and there was no problem with etiquette.

?? But today he just opened his mouth to say uncle and aunt... The servant felt that the smiling Xu Yu'an seemed to be here to make trouble.

?? "Yes..." The servant gave a fake cough and said with a guilty smile, "I'm going to call my wife right now..."

??Xu Yu'an raised his eyebrows: "Why, now that we come back, we still need to give a special message before we can enter the door?"

?? The servant dared to answer these words, so he had to hurry to open the door: "Where is it, how is it possible, come in quickly, young master... Both the wife and the eldest young master are here, and the husband will not be back for a while, but it is still possible Already on the way, it must be a pleasant surprise to see you come back."

?? I dare not say surprises, there are bound to be surprises.

??Jiang Ci and Xu Yu'an walked into the living room, and found that the room had been specially decorated, and a bunch of balloons with the words "happy birthday" were used to draw a banner and hang it in the air.On the red banner is written a white background - "Welcome home every year!"

?? There are more flower bouquets in the room, and even the handrails of the stairs connecting the living room are specially tied with bright ribbons in complicated knots.

?? Very birthday celebration atmosphere.

??In the living room, Su Mu Ding Qi was sitting on the sofa, holding the hand of the young boy next to him to ask for warmth, while Su Chengfeng was sitting on the nearest single sofa diagonally opposite the two, with a gentle smile on his always serious face meaning.

??When Jiang Ci and Xu Yu'an walked into the room, the young boy was saying to Ding Qi: "Dad, don't rush back when you're on a business trip. It's not good for me to come back suddenly..."

?? This person who is about the same age as Jiang Ci is Su Huinian.

?? Hearing Su Huinian's words, Ding Qi was distressed: "What nonsense, here..."

??Before finishing speaking, Ding Qi saw Jiang Ci and Xu Yu'an walking in, and then paused.

??Su Chengfeng noticed the strangeness of his mother, turned his head to look, and then was stunned for a moment.

??Seeing the reactions of Ding Qi and Su Chengfeng, Xu Yu'an looked down at Jiang Ci beside him, and smiled softly.Jiang Ci was originally affected by the atmosphere in the room, and his face was expressionless, but Xu Yu'an gave him a chuckle... Jiang Ci suddenly relaxed and smiled obediently.

??The room suddenly became quiet, and Ding Qi's words were lost in the middle. Su Huinian lowered his head slightly and waited for a while. Before he could follow up, he raised his head and followed Ding Qi and Su Chengfeng's gaze.

??Facing Su Huinian's gaze, Jiang Ci bent his lips.

??Su Huinian suddenly clenched his hands.

?? But Su Huinian's hand was originally held by Ding Qi, and his movement made Ding Qi feel pain instantly: "Niannian, what's wrong with you..."

??Su Huinian quickly let go of his hand: "No...So Mom, have you made an appointment with Xiaoci tonight? It's too late for me to come back, so I'll leave first..."

"Niannian..." Ding Qi hurriedly grabbed Su Huinian who was about to get up.

??Su Chengfeng also turned his attention back to Su Huinian, and said distressedly: "What are you going to do? Three years is not enough. It's hard to come back once. Today is your birthday, so you can spend it at home. You are not allowed anywhere." go!"

??Ding Qi also said softly: "That's right, Niannian, didn't you just say that you miss your family very much, don't leave, okay? Xiaoci is a good boy, I said before that I don't hate you, you all have a good time get along……"

Su Huinian's eyes instantly turned red, and he said sadly: "I know that you are all doing well, and I don't want to come back to bother you, mom, brother... I am very happy to see you today, It's just a pity that I didn't get to see my father, and I haven't had time to eat the cake, but I really have to go..."

?? Su Huinian's eyes turned red, and Ding Qi almost cried: "Niannian..."

??Looking at this scene, Jiang Ci blinked and looked at Xu Yuan again.Xu Yu'an was speechless, looked at Jiang Ci, and shrugged slightly.

??Seeing Xu Yuan's reaction, Jiang Ci almost laughed out loud in the bitterness of the Su family.

?? But it's not right for the Su family to be so loving and filial, and the two of them stand aside and watch.So Xu Yu'an gave a fake cough twice, interrupting the atmosphere in the Su family's mother-son room.

?? Ding Qi froze, remembering... they just left Jiang Ci and Xu Yuan aside just like that.

??Ding Qi had a deep apology on her face: "Little Ci, Yu An, come here quickly..."

??

?? "It's a coincidence." Xu Yu'an continued, "Xiaoci and I just happened to have dinner nearby tonight. After eating, I thought it was not too late. Uncles and aunts always asked Xiaoci to come back here We always refuse to come for our birthday, but we are actually very sorry. I just have time tonight, so I want to come and see you... I wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn’t expect you to give me and Xiaoci a surprise first Ah. This birthday present is inappropriate, isn't it?"

??When Ding Qi and Su Chengfeng heard Xu Yu'an's address, they felt that things were not going well, and when they heard Xu Yu'an's words, their hearts sank slightly.

??Ding Qi didn't dare to look at Jiang Ci's expression, so she could only look at Xu Yu'an emptily, and said apologetically, "We...Niannian also came back suddenly this afternoon, and I haven't had time to tell Xiaoci you guys... ..."

?? Xu Yu'an nodded: "Oh, I just came back in the afternoon, and the house was decorated tonight, and I made a special banner in time, but I didn't have time to inform your own son."

?? Hearing Xu Yu'an's half-face-saving tone, Su Chengfeng frowned and became serious: "Is this how you treat your elders? Mom is always..."

?? "Chengfeng!" Ding Qi hurriedly interrupted, and then asked with a smile, "Xiao Ci's birthday is today, where did you all go to celebrate?"

?? Xu Yu'an was about to respond, but Jiang Ci gently pulled down his sleeve.

??Then Jiang Ci looked at Ding Qi and said, "Auntie Ding, it is impossible for me and Su Huinian to get along well, and you shouldn't force me to get along well with him. You want a biological child who is related by blood, but you can't bear it. I have raised my adopted son for 18 years, and want to have the best of both worlds... I can actually understand that you want to do so. But the ideal state is ideal after all, so you can’t kidnap me because of it, okay?”

??Ding Qi froze in place.

??Seeing that Ding Qi's eyes were filled with tears, Su Huinian lowered his eyes, gritted his teeth, brushed away Ding Qi's hand and stood up, turned around and said to Jiang Ci: "I shouldn't be here, I'm leaving now... ..."

"Can you stop being so hypocritical?" Jiang Ci asked calmly, "I just came back a few years ago, and I knew that although I assumed the status of a biological child, I was actually an outsider. But I At that time, I needed the help of the Su family before I could go back to school. It happened that the Su family needed me to stay in this home to satisfy their "ideal state". Anyway, as long as I stay in this home, you will not feel indebted and feel comfortable gone."

?? "In this state, I know my position very well, so I never thought of arguing with you, let alone complaining to anyone in the Su family. Isn't it good for everyone to get along so hypocritically and peacefully?" But you have to say that I don't like you, that I don't want to smile at you, get along with you, that you feel sorry for me so you have to leave..."

?? Jiang Ci frowned and looked at Su Huinian: "It's very contrived. You are a vested interest, why do you ask a victim to smile at you? Since you feel sorry for me and want to leave, why are you still Openly using the Su family's money, often contacting the Su family by phone, and coming back suddenly today? Talking about leaving, saying that I miss my parents... Are you so interesting?"

?? Jiang Ci is still the same as usual, with a slow tone and sounds very gentle.

?? But in the impression of the Su family, this is the first time that Jiang Ci has expressed negative emotions and said such a long sentence.

?? Ding Qi's throat was so congested that Su Chengfeng couldn't say anything for a moment.

?? Su Huinian looked at Ding Qi and Su Chengfeng, and had no choice but to say: "I...I don't. I really feel sorry for you, but I really don't want to part with my parents, I just..."

"That's just right." Jiang Ci bent his lower lip, "Uncles, aunts and Brother Su are reluctant to part with you, and miss you so much. It's hard to pretend to be a family with me these few years. Obviously It's great if you are a family together, why do you have to force me to join this family?"

"I am very grateful to the Su family for helping me go back to school, but I think...Jiang Ci did not owe the Su family, right? It wasn't that Jiang Ci begged you to give birth to him, but as parents, after giving birth to him Originally, he had the obligation to protect and raise him, but more than 20 years ago, he offended someone because of a business matter, which led to Jiang Ci being maliciously outsourced, and he grew up so hard in the orphanage... After returning to Su's house, he did not give him any favors. You caused trouble, but also brought you peace of mind and comfort. Calculate it like this... I don't feel indebted."
