Daddy, Come Home For Dinner!

Chapter 1082: Chapter 1082: Your Brother?

How could she stop the entire Zhao Family from coming?

With all the stuff they brought, Mrs. Li couldn’t possibly ask them to take it back.

That would be impolite.

So, she had no choice but to accept it.

In front of Zhao Dingli, it wasn’t appropriate to take a look immediately at what he brought.

Mrs. Li could only move the things aside to not get in the way.

Mr. Li came over to help.

But there were indeed too many things, piled together, and with just a slight imbalance, two of them toppled over.

Some of the boxes inside were exposed from the bag.

Although the bag didn’t have any special logo on it, nor did it match the contents inside.

However, the boxes inside were the original ones.

Bought from the old house, and kept as is without repackaging or storing them elsewhere.

Especially since they were to be brought by Zhao Dingli as gifts, they couldn’t have ugly packaging.

The old lady even specifically asked Aunt Lin to select a nice packaging to give to Zhao Dingli to bring over.

So, Mr. and Mrs. Li immediately saw the words on the boxes.

One box said Bird’s Nest, another said Fish Maw.

Big brands have a premium, naturally making them more upscale.

Mr. and Mrs. Li usually don’t consume these; they usually take supplements like Coenzyme Q10, fish oil, and glucosamine.

Simple and convenient and with solid benefits.

Mrs. Li felt that her heart palpitations were slowly disappearing, and because of the glucosamine, even after walking more, her knee bones didn’t feel painful.

As for bird’s nest and fish maw, Mrs. Li was afraid she wouldn’t stew them well, so she didn’t buy them.

But even if they didn’t buy them, they knew they were expensive, much more pricey than the supplements they used.

They weren’t familiar with the brands of these tonics.

But there were micro-merchants in their circle of friends selling them.

They weren’t cheap, let alone those with such formal packaging?

Could it be that the others are also such expensive supplements?

The first thought that emerged in Mrs. Li’s mind was this.

Mrs. Li instinctively looked at Mr. Li.

Mr. Li also took a deep breath.

He couldn’t believe Zhao Dingli was just Li Xiaoyun’s ordinary friend anymore.

Who would have an ordinary friend come and bring such valuable gifts?

Even if they have money, they wouldn’t be like this!

These were just the two boxes seen by accident when they fell. Who knows if the others are the same kind of gifts.

Mr. and Mrs. Li were busy putting things away, so they couldn’t block Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun from sight.

So from the doorway to the living room, everything was open and visible.

In the living room, only Xiao Xu was standing there.

Making him even more conspicuous.

Zhao Dingli glanced at Xiao Xu, raised an eyebrow, and turned to look at Li Xiaoyun.

Seeing her with an equally puzzled expression, seeming not to know the other person.

Zhao Dingli had some guesses in his mind, but said nothing, acting as if he didn’t know and asked Li Xiaoyun, "Your brother?"

Li Xiaoyun was the only daughter, he knew that.

But it wasn’t strange for Zhao Dingli to ask this way.

Even now, for only children, there were always some cousins or relatives.

Everyone drops the term cousin and just refers to each other as brothers and sisters.

As Zhao Dingli expected, Li Xiaoyun shook her head, also looking perplexed: "I don’t know him either. Maybe he’s someone from my parents’ side, maybe someone they know from another family."

But, if that’s the case, why aren’t there any elders present?

Not only Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun, but Xiao Xu also stood there awkwardly.

At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Li finally finished arranging everything and returned.

They happened to see the scene of Zhao Dingli and Xiao Xu looking at each other awkwardly.

Mrs. Li mentally groaned, feeling her head ache, her stomach hurt, she was dizzy and uncomfortable all over.

"Come in quickly." Mrs. Li said to Li Xiaoyun, "You child, you’re the host. How can you not invite your friend inside to sit?"

Li Xiaoyun: "..."

From her mom’s face, she saw what being guilty looked like.

With a forced smile, Mrs. Li ushered Li Xiaoyun and Zhao Dingli into the living room.

All guests at your door are guests.

She definitely couldn’t let Zhao Dingli leave, nor Xiao Xu.

"Mom, who is this..." Li Xiaoyun asked.

Xiao Xu had already seen Li Xiaoyun’s appearance, and now saw it even clearer.

If it weren’t for Zhao Dingli being there, he would definitely be delighted and surprised. The blind date arranged for him turned out to be so beautiful.

Just based on looks alone, he liked her a lot, felt he was really lucky.

Men, in fact, are quite direct when it comes to choosing a partner.

If the other party is good-looking, then everything else is negotiable, with no matter what other conditions.

Xiao Xu was like this.

When he saw Li Xiaoyun’s photo earlier, Xiao Xu didn’t have much of a real sense of it.

Nowadays, girls always use beauty filters for their photos, and after using those filters they still tweak them a bit.

So the difference from the real person could be big or small.

Anyway, it definitely wouldn’t be as good as the retouched photo.

So, Xiao Xu was reserved about the pictures sent by the matchmaker.

He wanted to wait until he saw the real person before making a judgement.

Primarily because the conditions described by the matchmaker about Li Xiaoyun were pretty impressive.

She had a high income, although unclear how high exactly, the matchmaker didn’t know either, so couldn’t tell Xiao Xu.

Mrs. Li only mentioned a rough figure.

And deliberately understated it.

Mrs. Li kept a little secretive; regardless of whether the match was Xiao Xu or someone else, she always understated the income by about twenty or thirty thousand.

With Li Xiaoyun’s income, even if understated by twenty or thirty thousand, what’s left is still a lot.

By understating it a bit, after marriage, Li Xiaoyun could still save some pin money or something.

Just from what the matchmaker revealed, Xiao Xu found it very appealing.

If the appearance was a six out of ten, he would accept it and find it great.

But seeing Li Xiaoyun in person now, Xiao Xu realized that her photos hadn’t been retouched.

She was even way better looking in person than in the photos.

Just for this, all those other conditions, Xiao Xu thought they didn’t matter.

Li Xiaoyun’s family was local.

After getting married, they could help each other out.

Her parents had pensions, so they didn’t need to support them.

Post-wedding costs would just be their own living expenses.

Of course, this was assuming Zhao Dingli wasn’t there.

But now, with the appearance of Zhao Dingli, Xiao Xu was not so sure anymore.

What exactly was Li Xiaoyun’s situation?

Did she have a boyfriend?

If she had a boyfriend, why didn’t she tell her family?

It resulted in him getting called over.

Now it was extremely awkward!

Xiao Xu was a bit unhappy internally.

Wasn’t this just wasting his time!

As Zhao Dingli and Li Xiaoyun approached, Mrs. Li had no choice but to introduce them, "Xiaoyun, this is Xiao Xu, he’s... here as a guest, and we’ll have dinner together tonight."

Mrs. Li didn’t dare to say it was a neighbor who introduced him.

As soon as she said that, wouldn’t Li Xiaoyun understand everything?

Mrs. Li then said to Xiao Xu, "Xiao Xu, this is Xiaoyun."
