The barbecue restaurant is nearby, just a five or six-minute walk from the mall.
This is a self-service barbecue restaurant. In addition to the barbecue grill, it is also equipped with a hot pot and various fruits and pastries, but the price per person is not cheap.
However, it was certainly far less than what Duan Zihui would pay for a meal.
When it came time to pay, Duan Zihui hesitated. He glanced at Xu Yi and said arrogantly, “You pay!”
Xu Yi glanced at him and took out his mobile phone to pay. His eyes clearly showed: Are you crazy?
Zhuzhu asked curiously, “Dad, don’t you know Uncle Xu? Why aren’t you two saying a word?”
Duan Zihui glanced back at Xu Yi and said, “Who knows this guy?”
Xu Yi didn’t know why he was so hostile today. After paying the bill, he said, “I’m not familiar with him.”
Then he led his son inside.
But Yan Zhen and Xie Qingyu are not fools.
If the two people are really not familiar with each other, they would not say this to each other’s face. After all, normal people are more polite to strangers, while they are less polite when speaking to familiar people.
Xie Qingyu said bluntly, “I see you two are quite familiar with each other.”
Xu Yi looked for a seat and didn’t answer.
They quickly went inside.
Duan Zi glanced back at Yan Zhen, then reached for Zhuzhu’s hand, which Xie Qingyu was holding, and said, “It’s okay. We’ve fought together before.”
Zhuzhu asked curiously, “So who won?”
Fight together?
Duan Zihui was a very arrogant man, and he wouldn’t pay any attention to ordinary people.
This was a friendship born from a fight.
This Xu Yi was no ordinary person.
“Of course, I won.” Duan Zihui said shamelessly.
Zhuzhu obviously didn’t believe what her father said: “Chongchong’s father is so powerful, how could he be beaten by you all the time?”
Duan Zihui replied: “If you don’t believe me, ask him.”
Xie Qingyu sneered from the side: “Zhuzhu, do you know what your father’s behavior is called?”
Zhuzhu didn’t understand and asked, “What is it?”
“Wang Po is like selling melons, and bragging about it herself.” Xie Qingyu said, feeling quite proud that she had found the opportunity to insult him.
Zhuzhu didn’t get the answer she wanted from her father. After entering and just sitting down, Zhuzhu cheerfully asked, “Uncle Xu, my Dad said you had a fight with him before. Is that true?”
Xu Yi looked at Yan Zhen silently and said, “Yeah.”
The little girl watched eagerly, her eyes full of curiosity: “So who won?”
Who won?
Xu Yi didn’t know.
Back then, they often fought and then went out to play together. He couldn’t remember who won or lost.
He thought for a moment and said, “It’s been a long time. Uncle doesn’t remember it very clearly. It was around when I was ten years old.”
Chongchong was watching from the side, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
“Then why did the fights stop?”
Xu Yi smiled at this time, pinched Zhuzhu’s cute cheeks, and said, “Because something happened at Uncle’s house, and I don’t live there anymore.”
“Oh, okay.” The little girl didn’t continue to ask questions.
Yan Zhen looked at Xu Yi’s rare smile toward outsiders and was certain of one thing.
He felt guilty.
If Zhuzhu’s father hadn’t shown up, she would have been kept in the dark about the secrets he had been hiding from her.
They were husband and wife and had been married for five years, yet she knew nothing about his background.
After Xu Yi finished talking to Zhuzhu, he took Chongchong with him to get the barbecue ingredients.
When Xie Qingyu saw Xu Yi getting the ingredients, she immediately glanced at Duan Zihui and said, “Zhuzhu’s father, just sit down?”
Duan Zihui had always been the type of person who didn’t touch food when dining out. Although this place wasn’t cheap, it was the type of place he’d never set foot in before. A restaurant worthy of its status would naturally have someone dedicated to these tasks.
Of course, he didn’t want to do anything.
