Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1552

Chapter 1552: Reunion Dinner ( 2 )

Zhang Ermu glanced at the packages in An Xuyuan’s hands and said with a resigned sigh, "Come in."

As the saying goes, ’don’t hit smiling people,’ he couldn’t just drive him out when he came with gifts. Noticing Zhang Ermu’s helplessness, the corner of An Xuyuan’s lips lifted.

When they entered the living room, Father Zhang, Mother Zhang, Liu Piao, and Zhang Yulan were surprised by his sudden visit. They glanced at Grandpa and Grandma Zhang before they looked at him nervously.

Although the production team closed an eye regarding the matter of some villagers sending things to the wicked people, it was still a crime for them to bring the wicked people back and let them stay at their houses.

Therefore, even if Grandpa and Grandma Zhang were Zhang Ermu’s grandparents, he still had no right to bring them back home. Now that they were caught red-handed by the vice team leader, they were worried that this matter would bring trouble to the family.

While everyone was anxious, Zhang Ermu took his seat and said calmly, "Comrade An came to deliver the New Year’s gifts sent by his family to everyone."

Hearing this, Grandpa and Grandma Zhang were taken aback. They didn’t know that their family had such a close relationship with the vice team leader.

Finally noticing the gifts her boyfriend brought, Zhang Yulan walked to him and said, "Brother An, you can just come over tomorrow. There is no need to send it tonight."

An Xuyuan looked at his girlfriend and said in a low voice, "Yulan, tonight is New Year’s Eve. I live alone here without anyone to share a reunion dinner with. I’m so lonely and pitiful."

When she heard this, Zhang Yulan felt heartache and hesitated for a while before she said, "Then, how about I accompany you later?"

An Xuyuan looked at her without saying anything. His meaning was clear. He wanted to join the Zhang family’s reunion dinner. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Before Zhang Yulan could say anything, Zhang Ermu said, "Since you are here, just join us."

As soon as he said this, An Xuyuan smiled and nodded, "Then I will gladly accept your invitation, Brother Ermu."

He handed over the gifts to his girlfriend while saying, "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Zhang, these are some gifts sent by my parents for you and your family. I hope you will like them."

Father Zhang exchanged glances with his wife for a moment before he said, "Vice team leader, please thank your parents for us."

An Xuyuan took a seat beside Zhang Yulan before he said, "Uncle, right now, I’m not the vice team leader. So, just call me Xiao An or Xuyuan."

When they heard his words, everyone understood that he didn’t plan to do anything regarding the Zhang family bringing Grandpa and Grandma Zhang back to their house during the winter.

Father Zhang nodded and said, "Okay, Xiao An."

Before he could finish his words, Grandpa Xiao slammed his cane to the ground and shouted, "Enough!"

Noticing his grandpa’s anger, Xiao Yijie stopped talking but still glared at his cousin.

After the room fell into silence, Grandpa Xiao turned to his eldest son and said, "Ah Feng, I know you are not close to your second brother. But no matter what, Ah Jun is your brother. Are you really not going to do anything to save his life?"

When Father Xiao heard this, he placed down the teacup and asked, "Father, are you pretending to be ignorant, or do you really know nothing about what Xiao Jun did?"

Hearing his son’s questioning tone, Grandpa Xiao frowned and said, "Your brother is just a human, and it’s normal for him to make mistakes. Since he has gone to jail, it counts as him getting his punishment. But being sentenced to death is too much."

The moment he heard this, Father Xiao let out a chuckle and replied, "Father, not to mention anything else, just his crime of causing the death of several people is enough for him to be sentenced to death several times."

After a moment of pause, he turned to his father and asked, "Father, in your eyes, is it only Xiao Jun’s life that has value while other people’s lives mean nothing?"

As soon as he finished his words, Grandpa Xiao let out a snort and asked him back, "Can those lowly lives be compared to my Xiao family’s son’s life?"
