Chapter 578 Parents' Meeting
Xu Rongbin and Liu Xianmei were the first to arrive at the garage.

When Xu Yinghuan saw her mother getting off the car, she asked in surprise, "Mom? Didn't you go back to the countryside with your grandparents?"

"It's not very far." Liu Xianmei was well-maintained and looked very gentle. She smiled at her daughter and said, "Just ask your father to pick me up."

"It's rare that you are my guest at home, so I will definitely come back."

As she spoke, Liu Xianmei had already walked to Xu Yinghuan's side, looked at the other children, and said with a smile: "Hello, welcome to our home."

Li Luo and others immediately greeted politely.

When greeting, Li Luo glanced at Zhao Rongjun and saw that the boy was extremely nervous, with a tense face. If you didn't know him, you would think he was going to the battlefield.

At this time, Xu Rongbin, dressed in a suit, also came to the door. He loosened his tie, greeted the children, and then said to Liu Xianmei, "You pick up the other parents. I'll go upstairs to change my clothes and come down right away."

After saying that, Xu Rongbin said hello to Li Luo and the others, then went upstairs to change into casual home clothes. He looked much more relaxed, then returned to the basement.

After hearing Xu Yinghuan say that Zhao Rongjun's parents came from the main entrance on the first floor, Xu Rongbin glanced at Zhao Rongjun among the crowd, then nodded and said, "Xianmei, you wait here for a while, you two can go up to the living room with me to rest, I'll go to the door to pick up Zhao Rongjun's parents."

Not long after, Li Guohong drove the car with Lin Xiuhong and Xu Rongsheng and his wife, following the signs for the underground garage and going all the way to the depths.

Qiao Xinyan's parents also came in at the same time and were received by Liu Xianmei together.

After everyone exchanged greetings at the door, Liu Xianmei led the six of them upstairs.

Xu Rongbin received a notification from the security guard, so he got up and walked out of the main gate, came to the gate of the yard, opened the iron gate and waited outside. He soon saw Zhao Rongjun's parents riding an electric scooter.

"Are you Zhao Rongjun's parent?" Seeing the hesitant look on the man on the bicycle, Xu Rongbin took the initiative to greet him.

Zhao Zhong, who was riding an electric scooter, stopped immediately and got off with his wife who was sitting in the back seat. He walked forward with a simple smile and said, "Hello, hello, I am Zhao Rongjun's father, and this is his mother."

"Hello." Xu Rongbin stepped forward and shook hands, then said, "Just park your car in our yard."

"Okay okay."

Zhao Zhong pushed the cart carefully into the yard, and his wife Cao Sufen followed him nervously.

Although Xu Rongbin changed into casual clothes, the fabric and style alone looked expensive.

Looking up at the small villa in front of them, it was the first time for the couple to come to such a luxurious place. They were so afraid of polluting the fresh air even with a breath.

As a result, at this moment, Zhao Zhong was pushing the cart and accidentally hit the steps at the door.

Before Xu Rongbin could react, Zhao Zhong quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, I accidentally rubbed it."

"It's okay." Xu Rongbin didn't care. Instead, he took the initiative to help support the front of the car. He lowered his head and took a look. "Is the car not scratched?"

"No, no, the car is fine."

Seeing that Xu Rongbin did not have the arrogance of a rich man as they had imagined, the couple felt a little relieved.

After parking the electric bike, he followed Xu Rongbin to the main entrance and changed into slippers.

Just at this moment, Liu Xianmei also came out from the stairs with Li Guohong and others, talking and laughing. When the two groups met, they started to greet each other in the living room.

The Xu family’s living room is very large, but the sofa can’t accommodate nearly twenty people.

So the younger generations consciously ran to the tea room near the kitchen and sat down, and at the same time, they kept an eye on the situation of the adults in the living room through the hollow screen.

At first, Zhao Rongjun's parents were quite nervous.

But fortunately, the couple Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong were present.

Li Luo and Zhao Rongjun have been good friends since elementary school, and naturally they are also familiar with each other's parents.

We greeted each other when we met, and with the presence of familiar faces, the stiff atmosphere at the beginning was gone.

Everyone introduced themselves to each other and started discussing topics related to the children, so the atmosphere became less awkward.

Li Luo watched this scene with great interest, and the other people around him also looked on curiously.

Yan Zhusheng was like a curious baby, pointing at them one by one and asking about each person's identity.

"The two people sitting next to my dad are our brother Jun's parents." Li Luo introduced them to Yan Zhusheng, "There's no need to say anything about the ones sitting next to my mom, you know them all."

"You have just met Huanhuan's parents. The remaining two are Xinyan's parents."

"By the way, where is your mother?"

Yan Zhusheng blinked and took out his phone to check: "Her plane landed at 5pm, so she should be here soon."

As he said this, a message came from Yan Zhusheng's cell phone.

Yuan Wanqing sent her a message saying that she had arrived at the gate of the community.

In the living room, Li Guohong had obviously received the message from Ying Zhicheng, so he said to Xu Rongbin, "Two more have arrived."

"Then I'll go down and answer it." Liu Xianmei stood up with a smile and walked towards the garage entrance downstairs.

"Your mother seems so gentle." Qiao Xinyan looked at Liu Xianmei's back as she left and whispered to Xu Yinghuan.

"Your mother is also very beautiful." Xu Yinghuan looked at Yu Zhenqin's figure in the living room and couldn't help but say.

"My mother has a terrible temper." Qiao Xinyan complained in a low voice.

Yu Zhenqin is an elementary school teacher. She is very strict with Qiao Xinyan at home, so Qiao Xinyan has always been afraid of her mother.

"What about Zhao Rongjun's parents?" Xu Youyu, who wanted to watch the fun, asked the two of them.

"Uncle and aunt look very nice at first glance." Xu Yinghuan said with a blink.

"Zhao Rongjun's mother runs a clothing store and she gave me clothes before." Qiao Xinyan said in a low voice.

"What?!" Xu Yinghuan's eyes widened when she heard this. She looked at Qiao Xinyan and then at Zhao Rongjun. "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"

At this moment, Qiao Xinyan suddenly realized that she had let the cat out of the bag, and quickly covered her mouth embarrassedly, looking at Zhao Rongjun with a blushing face.

Zhao Rongjun was at a loss when Xu Yinghuan asked him this, and he quickly explained, "There was one time before, Xinyan forgot to bring her keys home."

"It turned out that her mother was working the night shift at school, and her father was also working overtime, so I asked her to come to my mother's store and sit for a while until her uncle and aunt went home."

"As a result, my mother picked out a few clothes for her to wear."

"That's not the case." Qiao Xinyan quickly corrected, "Auntie said she wasn't sure about the size of a few clothes, so she asked me to help try them on..."

Li Luo on the side watched the three of them with great interest. Xu Youyu also chuckled, feeling that it was very interesting.

Usually, there were seven people in their study group, and after finishing their daily study tasks, Xu Yinghuan would be picked up directly by her family.

So Zhao Rongjun and Qiao Xinyan often went home together.

Naturally, many stories happened during this period, but as a good brother of Zhao Rongjun, Li Luo could not hear such things from this kid.

From this point of view, Xu Yinghuan's hope is a little small. Li Luo looked at Xu Yinghuan, then at Qiao Xinyan, and then his eyes fell on Zhao Rongjun.

Looking at the three girls around him, Li Luo felt that Xu Yinghuan's attitude at this time was quite similar to that of Ying Chanxi who was usually jealous.

"Why are you looking at me?" Ying Chanxi found that Li Luo was staring at him and immediately showed a puzzled expression.

"Isn't it okay to look at you as pretty?"

"Get out of here." Ying Chanxi pushed Li Luo, but he didn't have much strength.

While Zhao Rongjun was still explaining to Xu Yinghuan, Li Luo turned his gaze towards the living room.

The adults were talking quite loudly, and Li Luo, relying on the ability of his memory palace, was able to chat with Zhao Rongjun and the others while listening to the topic over there.

Zhao Rongjun's mother runs a clothing store, and his father works on a construction site as a team leader in a building team. The salary is actually not low, but it's not that decent.

Qiao Xinyan's mother is an elementary school teacher and a math teacher, while her father Qiao Qidong is a white-collar worker in a home appliance company.

Logically speaking, his family background is not bad, but when facing Xu Yinghuan's parents, he still seems a little lacking in confidence.

If it were two and a half years ago, Li Guohong and Lin Xiuhong probably wouldn't be much better off.

But after more than two years of being influenced by money, although the couple cannot be said to be noble, they are indeed confident. Even when they were guests in such a luxurious villa, they did not show any shyness.

Apart from the two of them, only Xu Rongsheng was able to maintain a calm demeanor and was on par with Xu Rongbin in terms of personal aura.

So when chatting in the living room, Xu Rongbin was the one talking most of the time, Xu Rongsheng and Li Guohong played secondary roles, and Qiao Qidong would say a few words from time to time.

As for Zhao Zhong, most of the time he didn't know where to start and just kept drinking tea. Only when Li Guohong occasionally mentioned Zhao Rongjun did Zhao Zhong find a chance to say a few words.

Not long after, Liu Xianmei brought Ying Zhicheng and Yuan Wanqing upstairs.

Almost as soon as she appeared, Yuan Wanqing's temperament overshadowed all the mothers present.

After all, he has been an active figure on TV screens for the past two years, and recently he has to face large-scale concerts with tens of thousands of people from time to time.

It was just a parents' gathering, so Yuan Wanqing could easily handle it.

After Liu Xianmei returned to the living room, she saw that there were too many people in the living room, so she asked the mothers to get up and follow her upstairs to the mahjong room to chat.

Ying Zhicheng stayed and joined the fathers' tea party.

Having held a high position for many years, Ying Zhicheng was naturally not inferior in aura. He naturally joined the topic and started communicating with Xu Rongbin.

Xu Yinghuan's mother Liu Xianmei is a housewife. She used to be a suit designer when she was young. After she got married, she stopped working and stayed at home to take care of the family.

Xu Rongbin came from an investment bank and now has his own investment company, which is quite famous in Yuhang City.

After further investigation, Ying Zhicheng discovered that the two may have had connections before. A film and television company that Xu Rongbin had invested in had also cooperated with Huayue Film and Television before.

However, once the topic shifted from children to their respective careers, Zhao Zhong had even less to say.

Even Qiao Qidong and Li Guohong had little chance to get a word in.

So Xu Rongbin and Ying Zhicheng only touched upon the subject briefly and quickly brought the topic back to the children's studies.

As we chatted, we ended up talking about this year's college entrance examination and university choices.

Li Luo felt like yawning after listening to what he heard, but he was quite curious about what the aunts talked about after going upstairs.

Unfortunately, not long after, the cook came to inform everyone that it was time to prepare dinner.

It is impossible to rely solely on the cook to prepare dinner for nearly twenty people.

Xu Rongbin contacted the restaurant he often went to and asked the chef there to prepare the food and deliver it directly to him.

The parents gathered and sat down in the restaurant on the first floor, while Li Luo and others were taken to the second floor by Xu Yinghuan.

Zhao Rongjun was obviously a little worried. He looked towards the stairs from time to time, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Fortunately, the meal was finally completed happily.

The parents drank a lot of wine and ate from around six in the evening until almost nine.

While the men were drinking and eating, Liu Xianmei took the mothers who had already finished eating back to the mahjong room upstairs.

Xu Yinghuan also pulled Qiao Xinyan and the others upstairs to play.

Zhao Rongjun originally wanted to follow, but was pulled downstairs by Li Luo and came to the dining table on the first floor.

"Li Luo is here?" Ying Zhicheng looked at Li Luo and waved to him, asking him to come over and sit down.

After Li Luo took Zhao Rongjun to their seats, he asked the cook to bring two sets of clean bowls, chopsticks and wine glasses and poured two glasses of beer.

Xu Rongbin smiled as he watched Li Luo pick up the wine glass. Together with Zhao Rongjun, he toasted the elders. He then took a sip of wine from the glass and said, "Huanhuan, tell me, do you have any ideas about the house here?"

"I feel the environment at the foot of Ningshan Mountain is pretty good." Li Luo said with a smile, "I heard that uncle has connections?"

"I know the boss here." Xu Rongbin nodded and said, "I'll give you his contact information later. I think you can get a lot of discounts."

"Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome." Xu Rongbin said with a smile, "Your study group has been a great help to our Huanhuan."

"We originally thought that it was already very good for her to be admitted to the First Affiliated High School with this score."

"Now I still have a chance to get into Qianjiang University. This is a pleasant surprise."

"This is not my credit." Li Luo patted Zhao Rongjun's shoulder with a smile, "Usually he is the one who does the tutoring, and I mainly teach the bamboo sheng."

"Both of you have made contributions." Xu Rongbin raised his glass again, gestured to the two of them, and drank half of it with a smile.

Zhao Rongjun quickly raised the glass with both hands and drank it all in one gulp following Li Luo.

To be honest, he had never drunk much alcohol before, and after taking a sip, he felt a little drunk and his face turned red.

Li Luo continued to stay at the table for a while, occasionally mentioning a few words to Zhao Rongjun. When it was almost time, he left at the right time, took Zhao Rongjun's leave and went upstairs to play.

"Why are you blushing?"

Xu Yinghuan happened to come out to the toilet and saw Zhao Rongjun following Li Luo up. She was immediately confused.

"Your father forced him to drink. He drank several bottles." Li Luo lied.

"What?!" Xu Yinghuan was immediately furious when she heard this, and was about to go downstairs to argue with Xu Rongbin, "Dad, what is this doing?"

"Hey, stop!" Zhao Rongjun grabbed Xu Yinghuan and glared at Li Luo unhappily, "Li Luo is lying to you!"
