Xu Jia'an scolded, "You child, you're already at home, why stay outside?"
"It's like this, I'm here to visit friends this time and also to see Auntie. I didn't want to disturb you, but Grandpa was worried about you living here alone, afraid you'd be wronged. That's why he told me to come and see you." Xu Chunliang implied that if it weren't for Grandpa's instructions, he wouldn't have been eager to come.
The words made Xu Jia'an feel deeply guilty. Even at his father's old age, he still worries about him, yet he hasn't even been home for the New Year, truly unfilial.
Liang Shude laughed, "I wouldn't dare bully your aunt. By the way, let's have dinner together tonight; everything is ready."
Xu Chunliang said, "Sorry, I've made plans with a few friends tonight." He really didn't want to stay and continue the pretense; the whole family gave him a bad vibe.
Xu Jia'an said, "Cancel it. How can you come to Auntie's house and not even have a meal?"
