Chapter 203 Sister-in-law, open the door. I am his brother (2)
The day before the wedding, another good friend of Lu Chi held a bachelor party for him and invited Lu Chi to attend.
In the box, Lu Chi drank alcohol like he was drinking water, pouring it down bottle after bottle with an expressionless face.
Sun You felt a little uncomfortable seeing his decadent look, so he advised:
"I say, Lu Chi, just show your respect. Tomorrow is your big day after all. You can't give face to the bride, but you can't lose face to the Lu family, right?"
Lu Chi hung his head and said nothing, his handsome face full of sorrow.
"I never thought about marrying someone else before, but now..."
He gave a bitter smile, raised his head and took another big gulp, choked and coughed several times before continuing:
"It doesn't matter who I marry. There's nothing to look forward to..."
Sun You felt a little sympathetic towards him, but he also understood.
As a good brother for so many years, he has always known that Lu Chi likes Lin Pianpian.
Lin Pianpian is beautiful, warm and generous. Not to mention Lu Chi, even he has some subtle liking for that person.
But he knew Lu Chi's feelings, and he understood the principle that one should not bully a brother's wife, so he didn't have that thought in mind, and usually just treated them as good friends.
Unexpectedly, Lin Pianpian ended up marrying Xie Jinyi. Life is really unpredictable.
Just as Sun You was about to open his mouth to offer some more advice, the door of the box was suddenly pushed open from the outside.
After seeing who was coming, Sun You swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He also patted Lu Chi on the shoulder and asked him to be more careful.
As soon as Xie Jinyi came in, the atmosphere in the box became quiet for a moment. There was no reason, it was just because his aura was too strong.
The man, wearing a well-tailored suit, walked calmly to the middle and sat down.
Her short hair was neatly combed behind her head, her nose was straight, and her facial lines were perfect like a sculpture.
What attracts the most attention is the pair of deep eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses. They look as luxurious and charming as crystal. They are dignified and elegant, but also add a sense of distance.
Sun You smiled and joked:
"Boss Xie, it's already after get off work time and you're still acting so elite. You make me look like an unlearned brother."
While teasing, there was also a hint of sadness. They were about the same age, but Xie Jinyi had already established himself early on and brought the Xie Group to a new height.
They are compared with each other by their families every day. Not only can they not compete in their careers, but they also have no prospects in marriage.
Now his family is thinking about getting him married quickly and having a child before Xie Jinyi, which would be considered surpassing him in some way.
However, although Xie Jinyi is married, it is well known in the upper class circles that his marriage is very tense.
After all, how could a couple with a harmonious marriage live in separate rooms right after getting married? And they kept living apart for two years, which was a joke to outsiders.
Xie Jinyi raised his eyelids and glanced at him, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with it, and said in a calm voice:
"Mr. Sun has recently taken on quite a big project. Why are you being so modest?"
After some banter, they clinked their glasses and took a few sips.
Sun You's family background is also good, but it is still inferior to Xie Jinyi and Lu Chi.
He got to know Xie Jinyi because he got along well with Lu Chi. The three of them would get together whenever they had nothing to do and they could talk about anything.
Lu Chi looked up at Xie Jinyi, his voice a little hoarse.
"Are you busy lately?"
"Well, there were some problems with the land for a project."
Lu Chi smiled and shook his head, then punched him.
"My buddy is getting married tomorrow, you can't be too busy to come, right?"
Although Lin Pianpian married Xie Jinyi, Lu Chi would not vent his anger on him no matter how upset he was.
The two of them had been friends since childhood, there was no way he would turn against him because of this.
He also believed that if Xie Jinyi knew that he liked Lin Pianpian, he would never agree to this marriage.
It was his fault that he didn't have the courage to fight for her actively at the beginning, and he didn't dare to show any of it. Until the beauty fell into someone else's arms, it was too late for him to regret.
Thinking of this, Lu Chi couldn't help but take a few more sips of wine, and the corners of his lips, which had just been raised, fell again.
Seeing him like this, Xie Jinyi couldn't help but frowned.
"Are you sure you're getting married, not making an enemy?"
Xie Jinyi didn't know much about his marriage. He only knew that she was the daughter of a good friend from a prominent family in Jiangnan. He had only a vague idea of the rest.
Looking at Lu Chi's expression, is he dissatisfied with others?
Thinking of this, he asked directly, "Don't you like me?"
Lu Chi sneered, leaned back on the sofa, and said nonchalantly:
"I can't even remember what she looks like, how can I say I like her? She's just a delicate and pretty rich girl."
Xie Jinyi nodded and said nothing more.
This is how wealthy families marry, either for profit or for friendship.
Isn't he the good rich man that the old man threw out to repay the Lin family for their help in the past?
Thinking of this, Xie Jinyi's mouth curled up into a sarcastic arc. He tugged at his tie with his bony hands, tilted his head back and took a big sip of wine.
Sun Youren was dumbfounded. Why were these two people like this?
Is this really a party for singles to get out of being single, rather than a party for those who have just broken up or have just married?
Sun You looked at the two gloomy men and said in hatred:
"If you can't live together, you can just get divorced. Why do you have to make yourself into this state?"
Lu Chi stretched out his long legs and slowly blew out a smoke ring.
"Oh, I'm just marrying her for show anyway. As long as she behaves herself, I can be a superficially harmonious couple with her. As for the rest, don't think about it."
Sun You drank a lot of wine, and his head was a little dizzy. He blurted out:
"I really admire you two. Why don't you just swap your wives? At least you can still be a happy couple..."
As soon as he said this, he was sobered up instantly and shrank into the corner, not daring to talk nonsense anymore.
Lu Chi's body suddenly tensed up because of his words, but when he saw that Xie Jinyi didn't react, he relaxed.
Seeing Xie Jinyi's indifferent look, even though he knew it was wrong, he couldn't help but get angry and felt sorry for Lin Pianpian.
But as a man who was about to get married, he had no right to say anything...

On the way back, Xie Jinyi leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest, until the ringing of his cell phone broke the silence in the car.
"Hey, Grandpa."
"Now?"
"Okay, I'll be back later."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Jinyi rubbed his eyebrows in annoyance.
He knew what the old man wanted to say to him just by using his toes.
When he thought of this, his mood, which was not very good to begin with, plummeted to the bottom.
When he returned to the old house, he saw the old man sitting on the sofa in the hall with a cane, waiting for him with a sour face.
Xie Jinyi took off his coat and handed it to the butler, then walked gracefully and calmly to the sofa and sat down, waiting to be scolded by the old man.
The atmosphere was silent for a while. Grandpa Xie finally couldn't help but poke the ground a few times with his cane, and said angrily:
"Xie Jinyi, you are already married, and you let your wife come to complain to the elders all day long. How can you be a husband? Sooner or later, you will torture me to death!"
Seeing the old man's face flushed with anger, like Guan Gong wielding a knife, Xie Jinyi said calmly:
"You wanted to help the Lin family through the difficult times and ensure that Lin Pianpian had enough food and clothing, but you didn't ask me to sleep with you, right?"
"What do you mean by sleeping with me, you bastard? You are a proper couple, shouldn't you live a normal married life? What's wrong with Pianpian that you don't like? She's pretty and has a good personality, why don't you like her? You have the nerve to let her stay alone in the empty room?"
"Are you still looking for a celestial being? Why don't you go to heaven?"
Grandpa Xie's voice got louder and louder as he spoke, so loud that it seemed as if he could blow the roof off the house. How could you tell that he was in poor health?
The next second, he started coughing loudly.
Xie Jinyi hurried over to help him calm down, fearing that he would get hurt by his anger.
Grandpa Xie waved him away and ordered:
"After attending Lu's wedding tomorrow, you must move back home. He lives next to your house. How can you bear to watch others being in love? You must go back tomorrow. Do you hear me?"
Xie Jinyi let out a long sigh. Looking at the old man's stubborn look, it was obvious that he had given a death order.
He nodded, "Okay, I got it."
After saying that, Xie Jinyi left the old house without looking back.
Grandpa Xie looked at his back as he left, and his originally straight back bent.
Seeing his grandson, who is almost thirty years old, living like this, he actually feels a little regretful.
Especially when he saw his old friends enjoying their grandchildren, while his grandson wouldn't even enter his wife's room, he could only envy other families but there was nothing he could do.
I don’t know if I can see this bastard have children in my lifetime. This old man is really worried.
