The matter of "giving Fu Jing a birthday present" somewhat made Fu Xiaoyu a little anxious.

On the afternoon when Xu Jiale set off for Shuncheng, he was having a video conference with Lan Yu in his house, but he took the time to run out on the way.

In the end, he didn't speak when he came out, just stood in the driveway holding his phone and looked at Xu Jiale.

"What are you looking at?" Xu Jiale asked.

"Or I'd better go with you."

Fu Xiaoyu said anxiously, and walked two steps to the side of the car.

"Oh?" Xu Jiale got into the Tesla and fastened his seat belt: "Aren't you afraid of losing face? Besides, do you have to continue the meeting after the meeting?"

Fu Xiaoyu was silent for a moment, then suddenly leaned over by the car window and whispered to Xu Jiale who was inside: "I'm sorry, Xu Jiale, am I a little irresponsible."

He really didn't want to take the initiative to find Fu Jing.

But since he agreed with Xu Jiale, he had to admit that perhaps in his heart, he still vaguely hoped that there would be a way out for the father-son relationship with Fu Jing.

His own family problems, but because of face and because he didn't want to face Fu Jing, he entrusted the embarrassing task to Xu Jiale.

Not only is this irresponsible, it's a bit cowardly.

"Hey..." Xu Jiale laughed softly in the car. He turned his head and stretched out his hand out of the car window. He lightly rubbed Omega's cheek with the back of his finger, and jokingly said, "This is not a formal meeting with the parents. I'll help you run an errand, don't think so grandly."

Fu Xiaoyu took a slight breath but didn't speak. The phrase "I didn't see the parents" still made him heave a sigh of relief, and finally just nodded and took a step back.

It was already evening when Xu Jiale arrived in Shuncheng.

Before he left, he added Tangning's WeChat to say hello. When he arrived at Tang's house, Tangning was the only one who greeted him at the door.

"It's really hard work for you, Xiao Xu, it's too polite to drive here from such a long distance—" The female Alpha was quite enthusiastic, and helped Xu Jiale move several boxes into the living room one by one, raising them slightly while moving The voice said: "This is too much, what are they all about? Didn't you say to send some meat and fish?"

She raised her voice somewhat deliberately.

Following her gaze, Xu Jiale took a glance into the room, only to see that the door of the master bedroom was ajar, and thought of Fu Jing who had never appeared, so of course he understood immediately.

"It's about the same, auntie. Pass me a paper knife or something. I'll help you open them one by one. There's a lot of fresh food in here, even with ice in it. You have to pack it up quickly."

Xu Jiale said with a smile.

Of course he took more than just a little meat and fish——

He purposely obtained several boxes of food ingredients from a friend who was in the high-end Japanese restaurant, including snowflake beef and ribs for Tang Ning.

But the most important thing is the seasonal live shrimp, top red sea cucumber and three-headed abalone specially prepared for Fu Jing.

"Xiao Xu, you...how much money will it cost? It's too expensive."

As the boxes were opened one by one, Tangning was really a little surprised. She was someone who knew the goods, so of course she could tell at a glance, this didn't seem like something the company would send out.

"No, you sit down, I'll handle it."

Xu Jiale didn't retort seriously, and after unpacking, he diligently rolled up his sleeves to help pack these things into the kitchen and refrigerator.

Tangning didn't insist on helping, she was getting old and always uncomfortable when bending over, but after Xu Jiale rolled up her sleeves, she glanced at the Audemars Piguet on Xu Jiale's wrist.

The gift from the company was originally a cover, as long as a smart person knows it well.

Xu Jiale seems to be doing things casually, but in fact he is very meticulous.Sending things to the elders is always a matter of time, and you have to take care of your face.

Beef and shrimp are the favorites of the elders; while the nutrition of red sea cucumber and abalone is second, and the more important thing is face.When the time comes, take it out to take a photo, or say "it was from Fu Xiaoyu, from Fu Xiaoyu's Alpha" when entertaining friends, which will make the elders happier than anything else. This is indeed vulgar.

But Xu Jiale saw through this kind of vulgarity, and felt very calm instead. This is what happens with fireworks in the world, and he is willing to cooperate.

He was busy here, probably because the smell of seafood was too strong. He only heard a "meow", and a raccoon cat rushed out of the house, and pushed open the door that was previously hidden.

"Big Fatty!" Fu Jing's voice came from the bedroom, but it stopped abruptly soon, and no one followed.

Big Fatty is really a bit fat, he is chubby after being fed, and he is not afraid of people. He wants to jump on the shrimp when he rushes out.

"Fatty, don't make trouble." Tangning smiled and scooped up Fatty from the ground.

She made a cup of tea for Xu Jiale, and when Xu Jiale finished his work and sat down, she said softly, "Xiao Xu, come and have a cup of tea, don't buy so many things next time, where is Xiao Yu? Why didn't you come here with you? "

"He's too busy."

Xu Jiale naturally took Big Fatty over, put him in his arms and rubbed his head, and then explained: "Auntie, Xiaoyu just resigned from the IM Group, and now she joined a friend's Internet company——became the boss, so He was busy before. Before I left today, he was still in a meeting."

"You have to take care of your body when you're busy." Tangning turned her head and glanced at the master bedroom before saying, "You...you should take care of yourself."

"Don't worry, I will. Although he is busy, he still misses you both, auntie."

"I know, the food here is what Ah Jing and I love to eat. Xiaoyu and you have a crush on each other." Tangning took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Xiao Xu, I used to chat with you on WeChat. Let's talk, this is the first time I see you, how about you? What do you do? Are you busy?"

"I'm okay, not as busy as Xiao Yu."

coming--

"How much money can you make" is the must-answer N question for parents.

No matter how nonchalantly or embellished Tangning's words sounded, Xu Jiale could understand the meaning of the question.

"Actually, I'm still studying for a doctorate in anthropology at the University of M in the United States. It's just that some time ago, because of the divorce, I went back to China to adjust my life."

"University M..." Tang Ning was a little happy when she heard this. She pushed her glasses, refilled Xu Jiale's tea, and asked, "Good school, good school. It's not easy to study in the United States. Those who leave their hometowns have to spend a lot of money. Ye Da, the family, miss you very much, right?"

"Fortunately, my two fathers each have their own interests, so I don't think too much about it."

Xu Jiale looked up at Tangning. This female Alpha looked gentle and refined, but she was actually quite smart.

The question is very light, it seems to be asking "Does the family miss you", but it is not the case——

It is an out-and-out variant question type of "How is the family condition" that parents must answer N questions.

The problem solver must be calm at this time, see through the problem, and see the essence through the appearance.

"In terms of expenses, it is indeed not small, but there is no problem in this regard."

Xu Jiale smiled slightly while scratching Fatty's chin: "The family conditions are not bad, there is a family office to help take care of it, so I don't have to worry about it; on the other hand, I also have a special manager here to help me do some personal Asset allocation is not the most worrying thing about the economy, but the difficulty of getting a doctorate is to get the degree itself, and you are a university professor, so you must know this best.”

Damn, it's indeed Versailles.

In fact, even Xu Jiale himself had to prepare in advance so that he could finish talking about Versailles without hindrance.

His voice was also louder than usual. Of course, Tangning understood this, but there was no sound in the master bedroom. It seemed that Fu Jing had made up his mind not to see him today.

"...That's right."

Tangning was stunned for a moment before she responded and smiled. She lowered her head and took a sip of tea before taking a slight breath.

After a while, he said softly: "Speaking of this, Xiao Xu, has your divorce been settled now? According to Ah Jing, you and the previous Omega still have a child?"

"Yes, the formalities were completed before returning to China. The child is six and a half years old now, and his Omega father is now raising him."

Xu Jiale answered a little slower this time, and did not give any extra information.

It's not that he didn't expect this question, it's just that he won't hide the truth about this part, but he really doesn't want to talk about it.

"so."

Tangning drank the tea slowly, as if she was deliberating over the information she just received.

"Auntie, it's getting late, I have to drive back to City B, so I'll leave first, by the way—"

Xu Jiale stood up, took out a small envelope from his pocket, and handed it over: "I brought a few Carrefour shopping cards here, and you keep them for when you go grocery shopping with your uncle."

Xu Jiale knew that no matter what, the fresh food he brought was nominally given by Xiaoyu, and he had to prepare something himself, which meant he valued it.

Shopping cards are no better than other things, they don't look too grand, they don't put too much pressure on them, and they are also very practical.

Of course, he actually gave away quite a lot, but Tangning didn't open it, and probably didn't expect it, so she just declined, "Xiao Xu, it's inappropriate for you to bring something like this for the first time here, and we don't have anything here Get ready, I didn’t even give you a red envelope—I’m so sorry.”

Tangning sent him to the door, and couldn't help but glance back, probably to make sure that Fu Jing would come out to see him off, but there was still no movement inside.

Xu Jiale also waited with him for a minute, and finally just smiled, put the fat man on the ground, and said lazily before leaving: "Auntie, the shrimp is alive, it's best to steam it for uncle today." Alright, please help me give Uncle a voice."

"Okay, okay, go back quickly. Drive carefully."

At almost the same moment as Tangning closed the door, there was a creak, and the door of the master bedroom was pushed open, and Fatty also ran back with a meow, and was hugged by Fu Jing who had just come out at this time. arms.

"Sister, what red envelope did you mention, who is going to give him the red envelope?"

With a serious face, Fu Jing walked into the kitchen with Big Fatty in his arms, looked around, and returned to the living room after being dazed for a while.

He took a sip of Tangning's tea and complained, "And why have you chatted with him for so long, as if we recognized him as Xiaoyu's Alpha."

Tangning smiled, and leaned over to pat Fatty's head, "Didn't I talk to him only because I knew you were listening behind the door?"

"I didn't listen—" Fu Jing took a breath, and then whispered, "I didn't listen all the time."
