Rebirth of the Rich Second Generation's Growth Diary

Chapter 33 Parent-Child Games
Tang Qiaoning went in first. Li Xu stood at the door and looked at his father with some confusion.

Because Li Yuqian stopped.

Li Yuqian was silent for a moment, then turned his head to look at Li Xu and said, "I know you don't like attending these dinners. If you don't want to stay later, you can leave early."

Although he could see some changes in Li Xu, Li Yuqian was not confident enough to think that this boy could think like an adult.

Li Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled silently, nodded, and said nothing.

When he was young in his previous life, Li Xu was extremely disgusted with dinner parties. In his eyes, they were places full of false social interactions. The adults chatting and laughing at the table was like a poorly acted performance. They praised each other, their words were full of exaggeration, and they were dealing with various social etiquettes, which made him feel both artificial and boring.

Although I still can't say I enjoy dinner parties in this life, I won't be so averse to them anymore...

A dinner party is an excellent opportunity to expand your network. A carefully planned dinner party can bring together people from different fields and backgrounds. It is also an important platform for information exchange. When you are at it, you can get all kinds of cutting-edge information at the first time.

Of course, his main task at this stage is to study and get into a good university. These dinners do not have much practical significance for him at the moment, but it is not a bad thing to adapt to them in advance.

And the purpose of his father bringing him here was obviously not that complicated. It was nothing more than to get to know Tang Qiaoning and Wei Feng.

After entering the private room, Li Xu was very low-key and stood beside Li Yuqian. At this time, Wei Qi was the first to come forward and greet him, and then Tang Rui came up and patted his father on the shoulder, and enthusiastically pulled him to sit down.

Li Xu saw that in the small private room, Tang Qiaoning had already taken off her jacket and placed it on the hanger next to her. The girl's cool temperament that had previously given her a motorcycle look was gone, replaced by a well-behaved look.

Everyone sat around the table. Wei Qi was asking the waiter to pour fragrant tea into the cups in front of them. The aroma of tea curled up. Tang Rui smiled and nodded in appreciation. He picked up the teacup, sniffed it, and praised, "This tea is good." Then, they sipped the fragrant tea while chatting about random romantic things. There was constant laughter and joy. The delicious food was served and they started drinking.

The three young people were strangers to each other and seemed a little shy. Although their parents asked them to chat with each other, they only said a few brief words and then went about their own business.

Overall, it was not as restrained as imagined. Li Xu, relying on his young age, just focused on eating.

But before he had taken a few bites of the food, Tang Rui suddenly brought up a topic that made him feel a little strange.

He first praised the three young people present, then suddenly looked at Li Xu and said with a smile: "Xiao Xu, I heard that your dad sent you to the countryside for a few months? Isn't your dad just kidding..."

Li Yuqian had a smile on his face, but he looked at Li Xu calmly.

This was originally a joke, and for a child of this age, he naturally wouldn't think too deeply about it. If Li Xu in his previous life had heard Tang Rui say this, he would definitely have nodded indignantly, and then, relying on the support of outsiders, stand up and accuse his father... In fact, this is what Tang Rui thought.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Li Xu felt a little relieved and said sincerely, "It's time to go."

Li Yuqian's eyes flickered slightly, he picked up the cup and drank water silently without making any comment. At the same time, his eyes inadvertently glanced at Tang Rui and Wei Qizhen, and sure enough, he saw a look of surprise on their faces.

This sip of tea seems to have some sweetness.

Tang Rui's expression was somewhat amused, and he followed Li Xu's words and said, "Why do you say that?"

Li Xu looked unwilling to continue talking about this topic. He lowered his head and said politely, "Well, I was ignorant before..."

Tang Rui had just met Li Xu several times not long ago, so he naturally remembered what kind of boy Li Xu was when he last met him... The deepest impression he left on him at that time was that he didn't like to talk to people, always kept his head down and played video games silently, and also said a very distinctive sentence... He wanted to drop out of school.

It's only been a few months, has Li Yuqian really corrected it?
Tang Rui couldn't help but glance at Li Yuqian. This old fellow was just like usual, keeping a low profile, which was really infuriating.

No, it must have been taught by that kid Li Yuqian.

Tang Rui didn't want to believe it, but he nodded and praised Li Xu. Then he leaned back in his chair and suddenly changed the subject: "Last time, my daughter's teacher abroad criticized me, saying that parents in our country don't attach enough importance to the parent-child relationship and lack communication with their children..."

Tang Qiaoning raised her head and said, "Is that Teacher Jessica?" This question further verified that what Tang Rui said was true.

"I think their idea is correct. This problem is indeed prevalent in our country," Tang Rui continued.

Li Yuqian shook his head: "This is just a stereotype. In every country, there are people who value parent-child relationships, and there are also people who don't. There is no need to elevate it to the level of an entire nation."

Tang Rui was waiting for Li Yuqian to refute him. If he didn't refute what he said, it would be difficult for him to respond.

Tang Rui chuckled and said, "Don't be so skeptical. How about this, let's play a parent-child game!" Li Yuqian leaned back slightly in the chair, supporting his chin with one hand. After a half-second of silence, he asked, "What game?"

Tang Rui looked around and said, "It just so happens that we all have children here with us. Simply put, we want to see if your children understand you."

"A parent-child pair is formed. The other person asks questions, and the father writes down the answers on a piece of paper. After he finishes writing the answers, he asks the child to answer them. See how many questions the child can answer in a row."

Li Yuqian scoffed and said it was boring. Seeing that Li Yuqian didn't accept the challenge, Tang Rui looked at Li Xu and said, "Xiao Xu, your dad doesn't dare to play this game, how about we play it instead? If you can answer it, Uncle Tang will give you a reward of 1000 yuan for each correct answer!"

Li Yuqian saw that Tang Rui dared to start with his own son, so he snorted and interrupted him: "You are so frivolous. If you want to play, then play."

Tang Rui looked at Wei Qizheng and said, "Old Wei, you and your son should also join in!"

Wedge was smiling silently.

Li Yuqian said directly: "Okay, let's start with me!"

There was nothing wrong with playing this game. Tang Rui enthusiastically asked the waiter to bring paper and pen to Li Yuqian, and then he turned his attention to Li Xu.

Although Li Yuqian showed no expression on the surface, he was naturally not confident in his heart. He knew very well that he had little communication with this brat on a daily basis, and he probably wouldn't be able to answer more than two questions.

But then I thought, this isn't a big deal. If I can't answer it, then so what? What does it mean?

Having prepared himself mentally in advance, he waited patiently for Wei Qizheng and Tang Rui to speak.

"Let's start with a simple one. When is your dad's birthday?"

The first question made Li Yuqian's eyelids twitch.

Not to mention Li Xu, even he himself often forgets... or the concept of birthday rarely exists in his life.

"November 8."

However, the next moment Li Xu answered without thinking.

Li Yuqian's face showed an expression of surprise again. He couldn't help but look at his son, only to see that he had a calm face and didn't seem to think this was a big deal.

Tang Rui was stunned. Just now he was bragging to Wei Qi that Li Xu would definitely not remember Li Yuqian's birthday. He didn't expect to be slapped in the face so soon. But he quickly reacted and said, "No, Li Yuqian hasn't written the answer yet!"

Li Yuqian said unhappily, "My birthday is August 8th. Do you want me to show you my ID card?"

Tang Rui coughed and said, "That's not necessary, but we still have to abide by the rules of the game..."

Tang Rui then continued to ask questions, and the questions he asked became more and more difficult... Naturally, they would not involve privacy, after all, it was just a joke in this kind of occasion.

But what no one expected was that seven or eight questions were asked one after another, such as favorite color, favorite fruit, favorite movie star... Every time Li Yuqian wrote the answer on the paper, Li Xu answered it almost without thinking, and they were correct in pairs.

“Who is your favorite singer?”

"Zheng Zhihua..."

The atmosphere gradually became a little subtle. Wei Qi looked at Li Xu with an increasingly confused look. Li Yuqian still had a calm expression, but the way he looked at Li Xu from time to time and his eyelids twitched from time to time showed his inner unrest at the moment.

Li Yuqian looked at Tang Rui and asked, "How's it going? Do you want to compete or not?"

Tang Rui touched his chin, and suddenly his eyes lit up again, as if a new idea had formed in his head. He looked at his daughter, then suddenly looked at Li Yuqian and asked, "What's your son's favorite fruit?"

The smile on Li Yuqian's face seemed to be quickly wiped away by an invisible big hand, and was replaced by a moment of confusion and astonishment.
