Chapter 297: Seeing Su Xiao Again

"Let’s go out for dinner tonight!"

"Jianye’s health has improved a lot, and Zhenhua’s trip went smoothly. It’s rare for the family to get together, so we should celebrate. It’s just a shame that Yueyue can’t make it back; otherwise, it would’ve been perfect."

After sitting for a while and chatting, Aunt Qing made the suggestion.

At past six o’clock, the group left the house, took two cars, and went to a high-end restaurant in Dragon City.

Han Jianye, Jiang Qing, and Shen Mengxue went up first, while Han Zhenhua and Li Chen parked the cars and were led upstairs by the waiter. Your next read awaits at NovelBin.Côm

"Zhenhua!"

As they were heading to the private room, a young man suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Didn’t you go abroad? When did you get back?"

"Just got back today, the family is out for a meal." Han Zhenhua smiled.

"Come on, come on, it’s been so long, let’s have a drink first!" The young man’s face was flushed, clearly, he had already had quite a bit to drink, and as he spoke, his arm was already slung over Han Zhenhua’s shoulder.

"Li Chen, you go ahead, I’ll come find you guys in a bit." Han Zhenhua said with a resigned smile.

Once in the private room, after ordering dishes, they chatted for a bit.

"Xiao Chen, did Yueyue tell you when she might be able to return?"

A daughter is her father’s precious gem.

When Han Jianye spoke of Han Yue, his face was filled with affection.

"Uncle Han, last I heard from Yueyue, it will be another month or so!"

Having not seen her for so long, Li Chen also missed her a bit.

The two of them had been together for over two years, and this was the first time they had been apart for so long.

"Let me see what Yueyue is up to?"

Aunt Qing smiled, picked up her phone, and made a video call. Soon Han Yue picked up.

The family had a nice chat for a while, full of joy and happiness.

Looking at that innocent and pristine face, Li Chen’s yearning grew stronger.

Han Yue was beautiful with a great figure, almost rivaling Shen Mengxue in that regard. Just that compared to her, she lacked a bit of maturity and charm, but had more of a girl’s youthful naivety.

Each had their own merits and strengths.

Back when they were in school, Han Yue always kept herself in check, and they hadn’t crossed the final boundary; he had managed to hold back as well.

But over this time, having been with one woman after another, he was finding it harder to resist.

Perhaps it’s the taste that breeds the craving.@@novelbin@@

The desire in his heart became increasingly intense.

They chatted for a good while before hanging up the video call, and Han Zhenhua still hadn’t come back.

"Xiao Chen, go see what’s keeping your Brother Zhenhua. He just got back today; we can’t have him drinking too much." Han Jianye said.

"Okay!"

Li Chen left the room, following the path he and Han Zhenhua had taken to find their private room.

As he reached the door, he heard a noisy din inside, with both men’s and women’s voices. Pushing the door open, he saw Han Zhenhua drinking amidst the noise, flanked by the young man.

But the next moment, his attention was seized by another figure beside the young man.

Su Xiao.

Why was Teacher Su here?

As Li Chen looked towards Su Xiao, she just happened to look back at him.

"Li Chen!" She blurted out unconsciously.

"Teacher Su!" Li Chen said with a nod and a smile.

"You know each other?"

Han Zhenhua put down his glass, noticing the arriving Li Chen, and introduced, "This is Haocheng, and this is his wife!"

"Brother Zhenhua, Teacher Su was my teacher during high school. I didn’t expect to see her here." Li Chen nodded, adding an explanation.

Then his gaze fell once again on Lin Haocheng, his fists clenched involuntarily.

So this was the scumbag man who domestically abused Teacher Su, even during her breastfeeding period. A sudden surge of rage bubbled up from within himself.

But just as quickly, he forced it down again.

"Brother Zhenhua, Uncle Han and Aunt Qing need you for something."

Li Chen took one more look at Su Xiao and then averted his gaze.

The poor woman had suffered enough; he truly didn’t want to cause her any further trouble.

That could wait for later!

When he got back to the private room and heard the conversation between Han Jianye and Han Zhenhua, he learned the two families were business associates.

"Zhenhua, business is business, but Lin Haocheng is a dissolute man not worth befriending deeply. You should know that."

"Dad, I’m aware. You don’t have to worry! I was just humoring him a bit."

Listening to their father-son exchange, Li Chen wanted to learn more, but looking at Aunt Qing and his sister-in-law, he didn’t know how to broach the subject.

After several rounds of drinks and a variety of dishes, they drank a bit more.

By the time dinner was finished, it was nearly nine o’clock.

Shen Mengxue drove the car, with Li Chen and Han Zhenhua in the back.

"Brother Zhenhua, is Lin Haocheng that bad of a person? Then why did you go have drinks with him?" Li Chen asked cleverly.

"Li Chen, let me tell you, that’s how it is in business. Our heirs still need to cooperate, gotta keep up appearances."

Han Zhenhua, a bit tipsy after a couple of drinks, began to impart advice like an elder, "Don’t be fooled by his sweet talk; he’s not a good egg. He’s fooling around outside, and his wife can’t control him."

"Lately, he’s even got hooked on gambling, racked up quite a debt outside; doesn’t dare let his family know, and earlier, he even tried to borrow money from me."

"Oh, by the way, his wife was your teacher, right? You’d better warn her; this guy might get desperate and use his wife to clear his debts."

"What?"

Li Chen was startled, his face turning pale.
