Chapter 657 New Year's Day First Meal
Liu Xu shrugged at Li Xin, indicating that he knew this was the case.
"Dad, no need to pour the tea. We're all family, and being so polite would only make things awkward. Besides, Ruby still has a bottle of mineral water in her bag."
Father Liu, who failed in his education, glared at his son Liu Xu and was about to pick up the teacup to pour tea.
Ruby on the side quickly stood up and said no.
He was annoyed by this kind of back-and-forth politeness, whether in his past life or this life. He had no choice but to stand up, take the cup, and fill it up for Ruby.
Then he pulled Ruby into his arms, "I told you there's no need to be so polite."
At this moment, the bedroom door creaked open, and Liu Xiaomei ran out, skipping and looking at the woman in her brother's arms: "Ah, isn't this Sister Ruby?"
Obviously, Ruby had talked to Liu Xiaomei before and was quite familiar with her, otherwise she wouldn't have called out Li Xin's English name.
"Xiaomei, this is the doll that Sister Ruby brought you. I hope you like it."
Liu Xiaomei's eyes sparkled with surprise. She carefully took the doll and said softly, "Thank you, Ruby sister. It's so beautiful, but you are more beautiful."
The sudden compliment made Ruby laugh so hard that her eyes disappeared.
In response to Xiaomei's compliment, she took out the last transforming robot from her pocket and handed it to Liu Xiaoliang who was following behind Liu Xiaomei.
"Xiaoliang, this is a gift from Ruby. Do you like it?"
Liu Xiaoliang is half an adult after all, and he is very reserved in expressing his emotions. The corners of his mouth are slightly raised to express his gratitude to Ruby, his possible future sister-in-law.
Zhou Lanhui watched this scene with a happy smile on her face: "Xinxin, you are so thoughtful to bring such wonderful gifts for the children."
"The house is much more lively now that you're here."
Liu Gensheng also smiled and nodded: "That's right, you actually live upstairs. I didn't know it before. You must come to our house more often in the future. Don't be so shy."
"Mom and Dad, I've signed Ruby up for advanced courses in financial management and accounting. She definitely won't have time to come over to our house often. I still need her to help me with the accounts at the company."
When Zhou Lanhui heard Liu Xu's words, the smile on her face froze instantly: "Ah Xu, Xinxin is a girl, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to enroll her in two majors at once?"
Liu Gensheng also frowned, his tone slightly serious: "A Xu, it is indeed inappropriate for you to assign such a heavy burden to Li Xin."
Liu Xu was speechless. This was the first time he brought his girlfriend home to meet his parents, and the two elders' hearts began to change.
Is it a question of whether the two majors he arranged for Ruby to take are too much of a burden? This is clearly a sign of his appreciation and trust in Ruby!
If Liu Xu didn't clearly know that he had traveled to a world that was more like a Hong Kong variety show, he would have thought that this was a world where the heroine had a halo of reduced intelligence.
Seeing the displeasure on her boyfriend's face, Ruby squeezed Liu Xu's arm and took the initiative to explain, "Uncle and aunt, actually this was my own request."
"I hope to learn more so that I can stand by Axu's side better and help him share some of the pressure."
Liu Xiaomei said with certainty: "Sister Ruby is so smart, she will definitely be able to learn it."
Liu Xiaoliang also nodded in agreement: "Yeah, I think Sister Ruby is good too."
Seeing that Ruby was so considerate, Liu's mother glared at her son fiercely, and sternly called out to her second son to come over and serve the dishes, complaining that he didn't know how to tutor her youngest daughter.
As the food was served, the family sat around the dining table.
Mother Liu kept picking up food for Li Xin, muttering, "Xinxin, this is your first time here, so eat more and try Auntie's cooking to see if it suits your taste."
Li Xin smiled and nodded, showing a satisfied expression with every bite:
"Auntie, your cooking is so delicious, better than anything I've ever eaten before. I'll definitely come here often when I have time, and I'd like to learn how to cook from you in the future."
At the dinner table, Liu's mother and Li Xin were chatting with each other while eating. Liu Xu felt that the meal was not tasty at all.
After dinner, Li Xin took the initiative to help clean up the dishes, but Zhou Lanhui refused to let her do it. She pushed her down on the sofa and brought her some fruit.
Liu Xu sat with his father in the living room, chatting idly.
Among them, Liu's father mentioned his retirement from the underworld. The ceremony of taking over and winning consecutive games was so grand that almost all the Hong Kong media came.
Naturally, both Liu's father and mother saw the news about their son in the newspaper.
In their view, since they have already become the most powerful, no one will dare to oppose them if they want to quit.
Liu Xu frowned, his displeasure clearly written on his face. He told his father directly about the consequences of quitting the society.
Without the ability to rise to the top, quitting the club is no different from seeking death! First of all, the 100,000 members who have won consecutive victories will not allow it.
Secondly, the eight million warriors who have won unexpected victories will not allow you to take a step back, or those people will kill you.
No matter how good they are at fighting, the worst that can happen is they'll kill your family, your friends and family. As long as they can drive you crazy, they'll win.
Finally, there are the enemies and jealous people who have been offended in the past, either openly or secretly. These people have a more serious revenge mentality and are even willing to use their lives as a stepping stone.
The family can have such a peaceful life thanks to Lian Sheng and his 100,000 younger brothers, and the bodyguards with guns who guard the two houses on the left and right of the first floor of Building B day and night.
Even if he clears his identity in the future, he will not openly announce his retirement from the society. At most, he will reduce his contact with the society and downplay its identity.
After explaining the interests involved to his father and making him understand that joining a club is not just playing house, Liu Xu did not take Ruby home to spend the night, but chose to go back to the third floor to enjoy their own world.
As the first night of the new year, martial arts competition is inevitable.
If you choose to stay home overnight, the sound of ping-pong is obviously inappropriate. Only in the world of two people can you fully and thoroughly display your own martial arts.
However, perhaps because Ruby lost too badly the night before, although tonight's match was just a sparring match, it was mixed with a lot of instructional moves.
First, I was in the bathroom, trying to play the monkey to catch the moon while washing the fruit.
The two of them did a good job of warming up before the competition. When they came out of the bathroom, Ruby's cheeks were redder than ripe apples, which made her look particularly attractive.
Coupled with the thin pajamas as a backdrop, the battle between the two began instantly.
It used to be said that there were only tired oxen but no damaged fields, but that was only because the fields’ ability to recover was much stronger than that of oxen.
There were no surprises in this battle, and it ended with Ruby admitting defeat.
This made her face blush, and she felt a little guilty inside that she had not satisfied her man. She could only stammer and express her inner emotions again.
After the storm, the two had a heart-to-heart talk. Liu Xu mainly asked Ruby about her situation in school and her learning progress.
Ruby mainly asked Liu Xu about the situation of the various companies under his name, as well as the stability of his position in the community, to help him analyze human nature.
For example, compared with Oura Kuro's growing ambition and Yutou Biao's smiling face, Chui Ji's silence is actually more worthy of vigilance.
After all, those who are favored are always fearless.
People who are spoiled and arrogant are the most likely to get into problems.
Liu Xu took Ruby's analysis to heart, allowing Da Pu Hei to escape with his life. As for Blowing Chicken, Liu Xu planned to instruct Scorpion Tail to pay close attention.
