Hearing this, everyone said, “No need, no need. There’s no reason for one person to pay for the meal.”

“Yeah, how can I do that?”

“Junior Brother Su is too polite. This is such a big matter, why are you so polite?”

“We’re your seniors after all. We should take care of our junior brother. How can we let you spend money alone?”

Even though Su Xun’s words were well-rounded, his calm tone still made people feel polite and distant.

However, the atmosphere at this moment seemed to be a little more relaxed and happy than before.

The so-called encouragement from the seniors in this debate was indeed similar to greetings.

After all, it had been so many years since they graduated. Although most of them still spoke nicely like this lawyer, there were still some differences from the style of debate.

Due to the sudden relationship between Xi Ze and Su Xun, the others tacitly avoided Xi Ze and left the opportunity to cheer for their brother-in-law to Su

Xun.

Xi Ze and Su Xun looked at each other, but neither of them spoke first.

Xi Ze thought that he was in a daze.

Although they were brothers-in-law on the surface, he was as familiar with Su Xun as the meat that had just been cooked for less than three seconds. They were really not familiar with each other at all.

The Xi family and the Su family were both wealthy families in the city, but when Xi Ze was young, he did not speak much to Su Xun. The number of times they met could be counted on one hand.

Now that he had suddenly become the other party’s brother-in-law, half of Xi Ze’s soul was still in the stage of ‘suspecting that Su Xun and Xi Wan had a fake marriage.’ He had not completely accepted the identity of his brother-in-law.

Xi Ze looked at Xi Wan and realized that she was talking to Mu Mu and did not seem to have any intention of coming over to help ease the atmosphere.

“How are your preparations?” Su Xun spoke first.

Xi Ze felt a little awkward in his unfamiliarity, and in his awkwardness, there was also a subtle brother-in-law’s scrutiny. Throughout his entire growth, he looked up to Su Xun, this ‘child of another family’.

Right now, Xi Ze’s emotions were extremely complicated. With a stiff face, two words popped out from his mouth, “It’s alright.’

Su Xun was a little surprised. When he called him brother-in-law, his expression was quite natural. Why did his expression become so stiff now?

Su Xun retracted his thoughts and nodded. His expression was a little like he was facing a subordinate. “Then there’s no problem. You’re very outstanding.”

However, his words were much gentler than when he spoke to his subordinates.

Xi Ze was stunned.

He had been praised by Xi Wan many times, but being praised by Xi Wan and being praised by Su Xun were two completely different feelings.

The former’s praise would make Xi Ze feel embarrassed and angry and also inexplicably happy, while the latter’s praise had a kind of mentality similar to being affirmed by an elder. This kind of mentality was accompanied by a stubborn feeling of not being able to admit defeat.

“I know.” Xi Ze tried his best not to lose his imposing manner in front of Su Xun. “I know I’ve always been outstanding.”

At the same time, Su Xun’s past honors of skipping grades, winning awards, winning the best debater, and so on flashed through Xi Ze’s mind. “…” Xi Ze suddenly felt that his words just now were a little too arrogant.

The suffocating feeling in his heart made him fall silent.

Su Xun’s face didn’t show any other emotions, much less contempt. He even nodded seriously and said, “I’ve seen your resume. You’re indeed outstanding.” ‘I???” Xi Ze looked at him silently.

Why was he so sure? In order to give face to his sister, she even went to look at his resume?

So Su Xun was such an approachable person? Then why was everyone so afraid of him when he was young?

Xi Ze was unwilling to admit that he was one of the people who were afraid of Su Xun when he was young.

Xi Ze racked his brains to think of another awkward topic to understand more about this newly-appointed brother-in-law.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Su Xun nod at him and turn around to walk back to Xi Wan’s side.

Su Xun’s posture was very natural, making it impossible to tell what she was feeling.

However, anyone with discerning eyes could see that everything he had done just now was just a formality. In fact, he did not take everything that had happened to heart..
