Chapter 950: Hong Yu's Boyfriend
"Dumplings and wine, the more you drink, the better. Want some? To tell you the truth, this is good wine. If you hadn't come, I wouldn't have brought it out." Hong Yongze showed off a bottle of empty wine in front of Huang Xiaochuan.
Unfortunately, Huang Xiaochuan didn't even lift his eyelids. Instead, he smiled and said to Ji Lan, who was busy bringing dumplings out of the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, don't bother, sit down and eat with us."
As Huang Xiaochuan spoke, he got up and took the plate from Qiao Yue's hand, while Chen Zhe helped take the other plate of dumplings.
Qiao Yue wiped her hands and smiled, "There's only one more pot of dumplings left. You guys eat first, I'll be right back." Then she went back to the kitchen.
"Hey, want a drink or not?" Hong Yongze asked, still holding the bottle.
"I won't drink!" Huang Xiaochuan refused decisively. "You think you can fool me with some empty bottle of liquor that I don't even know where you got it from? Don't tell me you don't have any other liquor at home."
Hong Yongze put the bottle on the table: "You were right, there really isn't any other wine."
Just then, the front door opened, and the group glanced towards the entrance. It turned out that Hong Yu had returned.
"Oh! Martial Uncle is here! Uncle Chen is here too?" Hong Yu's eyes lit up when he saw Huang Xiaochuan.
"Hong Yu's back! What a coincidence, your mom just put the dumplings on the table, and you just happened to be there." Huang Xiaochuan waved to Hong Yu.
Unexpectedly, Hong Yu didn't respond immediately. Instead, she turned to the door and urged, "Come in quickly!"
The group then noticed a young man standing outside the door, carrying something in his hand.
Seeing Hong Yu urging him on, the young man outside the door finally walked into the house. However, he did not expect there to be so many people inside, but he still greeted everyone politely.
"Hello, uncles!"
"This must be Hong Yu's boyfriend," Huang Xiaochuan guessed immediately.
Hong Yongze frowned slightly, but didn't let others see it. He was annoyed that Hong Yu had brought the person home without giving any prior notice. He and Qiao Yue both knew about Hong Yu's relationship, but they hadn't officially confirmed it yet. He was asking people to learn more about this young man, hoping he could become Hong Yongze's son-in-law. The young man's character and abilities had to meet Hong Yongze's requirements.
He did this for his daughter Hong Yu's sake, so when choosing a son-in-law, he values character most, and then ability. He wondered if Hong Yu had dragged him here today, or if this young man had asked for it himself.
If Hong Yuqiang had dragged them together, that would be a different story. But if this young man had suggested it himself, then Hong Yongze would do everything he could to break the two of them up.
At this moment, Qiao Yue, who was busy in the kitchen, also noticed that there were guests at home. She peeked out from the kitchen and immediately saw that her husband, Hong Yu, had returned with a young man. Without a doubt, this was Shao Huanian, Hong Yu's boyfriend of more than two months.
She was momentarily stunned. Before she could react, Shao Nianhua had already seen her and greeted her warmly, "Hello, Auntie!"
Now Qiao Yue couldn't remain silent. She walked out of the kitchen and said, "Hong Yu, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and introduce us."
"Oh right, right!" Hong Yu finally realized, "This is Shao Nianhua, my boyfriend!" Then she introduced him to her boyfriend one by one, "This is my dad! This is my mom! This is my dad's junior fellow disciple, you can call him Uncle Huang, and that's Uncle Chen!"
Shao Nianhua greeted everyone again: "Hello, Uncle! Hello, Aunt! Hello, Uncle Huang! Hello, Uncle Chen!"
However, when he saw Huang Xiaochuan's face clearly, he was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Xiao Shao, right? Please sit down!" Hong Yongze's tone was very flat, neither warm nor overly cold.
Shao Nianhua looked a little nervous. When Hong Yongze offered him a seat, he immediately replied, "Thank you, Uncle!"
Just as he was about to sit down, Hong Yu pulled him, and he realized what was happening. He quickly put the things he was carrying on the coffee table, which were things like cigarettes, alcohol, and nutritional supplements.
"Uncle and Aunt, this is my first time visiting. I didn't know what you liked, so I just bought a few things. Please don't be shy."
Hong Yongze and Qiao Yue didn't even glance at the things on the coffee table. Qiao Yue simply said politely, "You're here! Why did you bring anything?"
Huang Xiaochuan and Chen Zhe watched this scene with great interest. As the saying goes, the more a father-in-law looks at his son-in-law, the angrier he gets. This is absolutely true. Just look at Hong Yongze's expression and you'll know.
I never expected to run into something like this today. How interesting!
Since they were already there, Hong Yongze and Qiao Yue naturally couldn't send them away. Besides, the dumplings were already on the table.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Qiao Yue glared at her daughter Hong Yu, then warmly greeted Shao Nianhua: "Little Shao, right? I didn't know you were coming today, so we didn't have anything prepared. Luckily, I made some dumplings, so you can have some with Hong Yu and the other uncles."
Hong Yongze asked with an unfriendly expression, "Can I have a drink?"
Shao Nianhua glanced at Hong Yu before replying, "I can drink a little!"
"Shall we have a drink?" Hong Yongze asked, but his tone was brooking no refusal. He then instructed his daughter, "Hong Yu, where did you hide those cases of wine? Get them out for me right now. Your Uncle Huang and Uncle Chen are coming, and I don't have any wine to serve them."
Hong Yu glared at his father with dissatisfaction, then turned and went downstairs to a basement storage room.
Soon, Hong Yu returned with several bottles of wine. She placed the bottles in front of her father and said with a complaining tone, "No matter how I hide them, you still want them."
"Look at you, look at you! Now you're starting to control me!" Hong Yongze complained to Huang Xiaochuan and Chen Zhe, but the two of them knew that he was showing off in a roundabout way, so they just smiled and said nothing.
Hong Yu brought out Jiannanchun liquor that Hong Yongze had been storing for over ten years. Generally speaking, new Jiannanchun liquor is quite strong on the palate, but aged Jiannanchun does not have this drawback. So when Hong Yongze unscrewed the bottle cap, a rich and mellow aroma immediately wafted out, filling the room with fragrance.
Huang Xiaochuan sniffed the air: "Wow! This wine is quite old!"
Hong Yongze smiled smugly: "You have good taste!" He declined Shao Nianhua's offer of help and poured wine into several glasses as he said, "I bought this when Hong Yu was eleven years old. I only bought two cases. I drank a few bottles back then, and I couldn't bear to drink the rest, so I've kept it until now."
As he spoke, he handed a glass of wine to Shao Nianhua: "Here, Xiao Shao, have a taste!"
Hong Yongze did this on purpose. In his view, a person's character can be best seen at the dinner table.
Shao Nianhua quickly stood up and took the wine glass from Hong Yongze with both hands: "Thank you, Uncle!"
But out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but glance at Huang Xiaochuan, who was chatting and laughing with Chen Zhe. He never expected to meet this legendary figure in the business and academic world at the Hong family.
What he didn't expect was that Hong Yu's father and this girl were fellow disciples from the same school and had a very close relationship. Originally, he was getting along with Hong Yu because of her father's connections and background, which could at least save him twenty years of hard work.
But he never expected that the Hong family had such deep connections, with even Asia's richest man being a guest of honor at their home, which raised his expectations for the future to a whole new level.
