Dinner gathering (Collect and recommend)
"Brother! Where are you? Hurry back, dinner is almost ready!" Di Yun urged in a low voice on the phone, with others likely around her.
"I'll be right back!" Di Yu replied and hung up the phone. He said to Bai He, "Miss Bai, I have something else to attend to, so I'll take my leave first!"
"Okay, I'll send you."
Bai He can roll around in a bar with all sorts of people, and her mental endurance is still very strong. If it weren't for being tied up by the kidnapper again and Ma Hao getting hurt, she wouldn't have lost control. She personally escorted Di Yu to the elevator door.
Just as Di Yu was about to enter, Bai He suddenly said: "Mr. Di, can I find you next time something comes up?"
Di Yu looked at her inexplicably, not understanding what she meant, but still nodded and said: "Of course, you can come to me with any questions."
"Then can you tell me your phone number?" Bai He looked at Di Yu with some trepidation. Originally, when a beautiful woman asks for a man's phone number, it should be the man who is thrilled, but she couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
"My phone number is known by Ma Hao," said Di Yu.
"Tell me now, I'll take note." Bai He acted strangely and took out her phone.
"Uh... okay." Di Yu felt strange in his heart, but still told her the phone number before going downstairs.
Di Yu was still on his way when Di Yun's phone rang again.
"Brother, hurry up, everyone in the family is here and they're all waiting for you!" Di Yun's voice became even more anxious.
Di Yu said in confusion: "What are you waiting for? You can just eat by yourselves."
"Old Master is waiting for you! Fourth Uncle and his annoying son are waiting to see us make fools of ourselves!" Di Yun seemed not too pleased.
"Alright, alright, we're almost there." Di Yu was getting more and more confused about this big family, having dinner was such a hassle, stepping on the gas pedal all the way to accelerate forward.
Back home, the whole dinner table was indeed full of people.
When Dillin saw Diyu enter, his face was clearly full of surprise. He didn't expect that the rustic and unsophisticated person he had made a fool of himself in front of during the day would be Grandpa's repeatedly mentioned Di Hu.
"Hmph... forty minutes late, wait and see you kneel for forty minutes, that's also a way to vent. Dillin's face then revealed a mocking intention, he always remembered that once when he was still in high school, because of a family dinner on Wednesday, he didn't go home all night, as a result, the old man punished his father, Di Zhenmin, to kneel for an entire evening in the restaurant. From then on, no one dared to violate the old man's rule, and everyone went home early on Wednesdays to eat."
Di Zhenmin and Di Lin originally had an important guest in Country M, but they still rushed back home to eat dinner on time.
"Sorry, I'm late." Di Yu apologized to everyone as soon as he entered the restaurant, feeling embarrassed that so many people had been waiting for him to eat. Anyone would feel awkward in this situation, and he also noticed that the expressions on everyone's faces were not quite right.
Just as everyone was preparing for the old man to get angry, the old man smiled and beckoned to Di Yu, saying: "It's okay, you didn't know, did you? Your fourth uncle and Di Lin returned from M country today, you haven't seen them yet, have you?"
It doesn't matter!!!
The old man's attitude was shocking, he actually said that being late for dinner is no big deal! The whole room full of people thought it was unbelievable. Di Yun, who had been worried sick on the phone just now, stared at her brother Di Yu with wide eyes, wondering if the old man was speaking sarcastically.
"This is Di Hu, indeed a talented and handsome young man with the demeanor of our Di family." Di Zhenmin, wearing a white casual outfit, stood up voluntarily as soon as the old man finished speaking, greeting his nephew with a kind face, showing no signs of unhappiness at having an extra person.
Dilin was seething with anger, inwardly cursing the old man for being so courteous to him.
Di Yu looked at Di Zhengu and Di Lin, smiling: "Fourth Uncle is well, Lin Tangge is well."
He greeted them and sat down between his sister and mother He Su Yun.
"Jianming, tell the kitchen to serve the dishes." The old man instructed Wang Jianming, who was standing beside him, and then looked at Di Yu and asked: "Tiger, since your school is far from home, do you want someone to pick you up when you go to school?"
"No need!" Di Yu hastily said: "Grandfather, you also know that I am now a member of the Di family. If I'm driven around every day and people find out, it will disrupt my previous life. At that time, I won't be able to accompany you as an idle person in the Di family."
"Hehe, good!" The old man chuckled and tapped his hand lightly on the table, "Tiger understands that one should be low-key when doing things. Grandpa is very happy. Don't be like some people who rely on being from the Di family to show off every day, as if they're afraid others won't know they have a background."
The old man's words were like a command, and everyone in the hall held their breath, not daring to make a sound, revealing the old man's authority in this household.
"By the way, where did you go to play today besides class? If there's anything fun, be sure to call Grandpa. There are many people in this family, but it's extremely cold and quiet, can't even find someone to talk to." The old man's attitude changed suddenly, making it hard for people to understand his thoughts.
Nothing much, just had lunch with a few classmates at Qin Garden in the afternoon and luckily got the last seat.
Di Yu glanced at Di Lin and smiled, saying to the old man: "Grandfather, actually I had already met Brother Lin in Qin Garden, but he didn't know me at that time, so I didn't greet him. Later, he also came to Qin Garden for dinner, and I even gave up my seat to him and his friend."
"Oh? Is that so?" The old man looked at Dillin.
Dilin seemed to be afraid, and SeSe replied: "Yes, Grandpa."
He naturally didn't dare to say that he relied on his identity as Young Master Di's son to forcibly take someone else's already reserved seat, and was secretly glad that Di Yu hadn't revealed the truth.
Di Yu had some free time and asked Di Lin: "Lin, big brother, you won't blame me for not recognizing you, will you?"
Dilin said unnaturally, "No, no, if I had known it was Tiger's younger brother, I should have invited you to dinner." He didn't say another word, as long as Di Yu didn't tell Grandpa that he was bullying him, it would be fine.
"All right, you can be brothers and friends with each other. Your father and I are also delighted to see this." The old man smiled with satisfaction.
"Grandpa, Tiger's younger brother is really amazing. I heard he can even invite the chief imperial physician of the Y royal family to treat Auntie's eyes. With Dr. Jie's help, I believe Auntie's eyes will recover soon." Di Wei was the eldest grandson and flattered Di Yu according to Grandpa's intention. The "Auntie" in his words referred to He Suyun, Di Yu's mother.
"Jie Shi Bang? Is it the one that Second Brother went to Y Country several times to invite, specifically to treat illnesses for their royal family members?" Di Zhen Min looked at Di Wei and asked, clearly showing a disbelieving expression. He knew that Second Brother Di Zhen Guo often flew to Y Country, multiple times requesting in person or on behalf of the Di Family, but was rejected every time. Even the Di Family couldn't invite him, so how could a young man who had been wandering outside for over ten years and just returned to the Di Family possibly succeed?
"Second brother, you won't believe it, but this matter has already been verified by the old master, and he's also contacted the Y imperial family about it. They've all agreed, including Jie Shi Bang himself. At most a week from now, they'll bring their equipment and personally fly to Yanjing to treat Er Niang. It's absolutely true!" Di Zhen Bang, as the eldest, had a pair of eyes that were extremely peculiar, seeming to look at no one yet also seeming to have looked at everyone once over. Everyone was considerate of each other, and they all appeared very happy.
Di Yu did not respond to their discussion about his mother's illness, and did not say a word.
Soon all the dishes were served, and several uncles, aunts, and grandmothers kept serving Di Yu dishes one after another, saying that he had suffered for many years outside. However, these seemingly warm and affectionate actions at home did not bring any warmth to Di Yu's heart.
Di Yu was late for dinner, but Old Master just said it didn't matter. Not only did this exceed everyone's expectations, but they were also guessing what Old Master was thinking.
After dinner, the old man had someone clean up and didn't let everyone leave. He looked at everyone and said: "Today I have something to discuss with you all, except for Di Zhi, everyone else is here."
Di Zhi is the second son of Di Zhenbang, and he is currently studying in Country M, so he cannot return home normally.
What made everyone curious was that the old man actually had something to discuss with them today - the old man usually acted decisively and rarely discussed what he did with others, let alone in front of the whole family.
The old man spoke, and generally no one dared to make a sound. Under everyone's gaze, the old man sighed: "Everyone will die, I am no exception. Today, I mainly want to ask you all about your thoughts and plans after my death."
