Chapter 251 - 246: No Wine at Midnight
The next morning, Li Xianglu tugged at the already pitch-black-faced Qin Xi, whispering, "Alright, the outcome wasn’t too bad, now eat up, we still have to head out after breakfast."
Qin Xi helplessly picked up his bowl of porridge and took a sip, while Qin Zhen shrank his shoulders in fear, trying his best to make himself less noticeable. The aura emanating from his older brother was too frightening, reminiscent of the times during his childhood when he’d be in trouble, and even their dad wouldn’t dare to speak up.
Li Jianqing also sat upright and silent, and everyone quietly ate their breakfast.
It was the eighth day of the month, and Sister Xing came over early in the morning, only to find that right inside the yard’s entrance there was a large, dirty patch of vomit. She hurriedly cleaned it up and came in to ask, concerned, who had thrown up.
Li Xianglu was at her wits’ end. Last night, before nine o’clock, Qin Zhen had returned home, escorted by the Lu Family themselves, and the man who had brought him back was none other than Lu Xun.
To this moment, Li Xianglu could still recall her flushed face in the cold wind, hot as a freshly steamed bun.
Lu Anna looked on helplessly as she recounted how Qin Zhen and her father had gotten into a drinking contest at home and ended up overdrinking, then started addressing each other as brothers.
Before Lu Xun left, he informed Qin Xi that the Qin Family should visit them the following day.
Meaning it was time to formally discuss this matter.
Early that morning, Qin Xi first called his father, arranged a meeting spot, and discussed that they should visit the Lu Family, bringing gifts, of course. Tobacco and liquor were a given since they had those at home, but they also needed some fruits and pastries to make a good impression.
