The two people bickering in the room didn't know that their conversation had been overheard by someone outside the door.
"Xier, why does your complexion look so bad today?"
"Aiyo! Look at those dark circles under my eyes. I feel so sorry for them." Chen Xi followed Jiang Mochuan downstairs, and happened to see Jiang's Mother preparing to go upstairs to get Jiang Yuechen his school uniform.
When Jiang's Mother saw Chen Xi's somewhat haggard face, she had thought that Chen Xi was worried because both she and Jiang Mochuan had mocked and ridiculed last night.
"Cough cough ~ Mom, hurry up and get the clothes." Jiang Mochuan received the cold stare that Chen Xi gave him, and said while coughing awkwardly.
"Alright, alright, alright. All of you, hurry up and go eat."
"If Xier really can't make it today, then he'll just stay at home and rest for a day." Hearing Jiang Mochuan's urging, the Jiang's Mother suddenly remembered something important.
He didn't forget to remind Jiang Mochuan to let him rest at home for a day when he went upstairs.
When he went downstairs, Jiang's Father was still sitting on the sofa.
Chen Xi was a little afraid to face Jiang's Father. He knew in his heart that Jiang's Mother must have pulled him over: Otherwise, Jiang's Father probably wouldn't have come over.
"Xier, do you have time in the morning?" Jiang's Mother asked Chen Xi who was eating breakfast at the dining table as he went downstairs.
"Yes, why?" Chen Xi raised his head and said.
"Would you like to make some coffee before you go out? That damn old man has been drinking instant coffee for the past few days. He hasn't been able to sleep well for the entire night."
"Just last night, until four this morning." Jiang's Mother whispered as he walked beside Chen Xi.
After so many years with River Father, Jiang's mother knew every detail of his life, so this was what women were like. In relationships, women were always the ones who knew men best, and sometimes, when a man had a look in his eyes, a woman could understand what a man wanted to say and do.
"Alright, Auntie. I'll go to the company later today. I'm fine too." When Chen Xi heard the Jiang's Mother's words, he glanced at the Jiang's Father who was sitting on the sofa, and had not said a single word since the beginning.
Sometimes, he felt that the Jiang's Father was easy to get along with, but sometimes he also felt that the pressure that the Jiang's Father was giving him was really huge.
"You go to the company first, I'll make some coffee at home before driving there." When Jiang's Mother left the dining table and walked in front of the sofa to dress Jiang Yuechen, Chen Xi quietly said to Jiang Mochuan who was beside him.
If Jiang's Father knew Jiang's Mother asked him to make coffee for him, he reckoned that he would lose his temper again.
Thus, there were some things that could only be done secretly.
"No need, I'll wait for you. You didn't sleep well last night. I'm worried about you driving alone."
"If you don't like it, then we won't."
"Dad doesn't like you anyway, so let's not do these useless things." Jiang Mochuan shook his head and said to Chen Xi, and then turned and looked towards the direction of the Jiang's Father.
Seeing the Jiang's Father still leisurely sitting on the sofa and watching Jiang Yuechen play without saying a word, Jiang Mochuan said to Chen Xi in a low voice.
Chen Xi also felt that Jiang Mochuan's words made sense, but he was more focused on trying to please Jiang's Father now. Jiang's Father might even change his opinion of him due to his own coffee someday.
"Stop bullshitting, I like to do things that do nothing but accept rewards."
"What if your dad changes his mind about me one day because of my coffee?" Chen Xi said as he lightly kicked Jiang Mochuan under the dining table.
Indeed, if Jiang's Father didn't like him, there was no need for him to do all these useless words.
But who told her to like what Jiang Mochuan liked so much?
After finishing his meal, Chen Xi threw himself into the kitchen to make coffee. When the unique rich fragrance of the coffee reached the living room, Chen Xi did not see Jiang's Father's expression when he smelled the coffee: But, both Jiang's Mother and Jiang Mochuan saw it.
Jiang Mochuan was still thinking, maybe what Chen Xi said was true, and that Jiang's Father would really change his opinion of Chen Xi because of a cup of coffee.
"Uncle, have a cup of coffee in the morning."
"Auntie, I'm keeping the coffee in the coffee machine. Be careful when you pour it." Chen Xi walked out of the kitchen with a tray with three cups of coffee on it.
Chen Xi was the first to pass the first cup of coffee to Jiang's Father.
Maybe because he was not used to drinking instant coffee, this time Jiang's Father did not reject, and silently took the coffee from Chen Xi.
"Which brand of coffee did you make it with?" Jiang's Father drank his first mouthful of coffee, the taste of coffee lingering in his mouth for a long time.
After thinking for a while, Jiang's Father opened his mouth and asked Chen Xi who was seated next to him.
"Uncle, it's Cuban coffee beans."
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Chen Xi had always been proud of his cooking skills.
Because I used to work part-time in a part-time shop when I was still studying.
Coffee, brewing coffee is not just about brewing.
and how to grind the beans.
Grinding coffee beans is also sometimes an important step.
Hearing Chen Xi's words, the Jiang's Father thought for a while, but still did not speak.
"Sister Chen Xi, do you want to go to work with Brother Mochuan?" Xiao Ruo who was pushing Xiao Nan down from the stairs saw that Chen Xi's family of five was sitting on the sofa in the living room and talking. If it wasn't because he knew that Jiang's Father didn't like Chen Xi, Xiao Ruo would really think that the scene of Chen Xi and his family of five being pushed down was really beautiful.
With regards to Xiao Ruo and Xiao Nan's existence, Jiang's Father did not have much of an opinion.
There was another reason that could cause Jiang's Father to have no objections to Xiao Ruo and his sister.
When he found out that Xiao Ruo and Xiao Nan was actually the Xiao Family from the famous Shi Family who gambled in the capital back then, Jiang's Father still did not know that Xiao Ruo and his parents and family were being viciously harmed by people. To the Xiao Family, Jiang's Father had always admired the way Xiao Ruo's father looked at stones.
However, with regards to Xiao Ruo and Xiao Nan, the two siblings, Jiang's Father remained silent.
"Yeah, you two should hurry up and go eat breakfast."
"Your brother Mochuan and I will go to work first."
"Uncle, Aunt: We'll be leaving first."
"As for you, Steamed Bun, you're not allowed to let me hear about you taking advantage of Teacher Stoven's absence to affect other students' studies. Do you understand?" Chen Xi turned and urged Xiao Ruo and Xiao Nan to bid farewell to the crowd one by one after they went to eat dinner.
Regarding Jiang Yuechen's recent performance at school, Chen Xi also had a headache. Most likely, it was because he had been busy with work recently, so he did not teach Jiang Yuechen a lot: A few days ago, Chen Xi had received a complaint from his classmates and parents, saying that Jiang Yuechen's performance at school affected his family's children's learning.
