Chapter 2511: Go Call Uncle Hu Over
Luo Jiangs voice trembled. His heart was extremely distraught.
He felt deep sorrow and despair. However, he also felt a bit nervous and excited about what was to come
Luo Jiangs father sat down. Seeing so many dishes and even wine on the table, Luo Jiangs father said to him, Go call Uncle Hu over so we can have a drink together.
Old Hu has helped us a lot. He even helped to pay for your surgery.
Luo Jiang immediately panicked and said, Dad, I prepared this dinner especially for our family. Do we need to invite outsiders too?
Luo Jiangs father thought for a bit, then said, Alright. Ill treat Old Hu to dinner another time, then.
Luo Jiang had a sudden realization, though. If something went wrong during this dinner, wouldnt he be the prime suspect? If the three of them ate the same dinner, and his parents fell ill while he was perfectly fine, people would surely suspect him.
If there was an outsider to testify about the food, however, people would be less suspicious of him.
Father, on second thought, I think we should invite Uncle Hu over. In fact, we might as well call his entire family over here, since we have so much food, after all, Luo Jiang said.
Luo Jiangs father nodded in agreement.
Luo Jiang got up and went to knock on the door of Ning Shus house.
Ning Shu, who opened the door and asked him, What is it?
I want to invite your family to my house for dinner, Luo Jiang said.
As Ning Shu got over the shock, Luo Jiang walked into the house and invited Father Hu and Mother Hu over for dinner.
They were next-door neighbors, and their houses were only a few steps apart. Father Hu couldnt really refuse the invitation, so the family of three went next door for dinner.
Father Hu took a look at the dishes on the table. There were a lot of both cold and hot dishes, and they were all relatively pricey.
Whats the occasion? Why did you order so many dishes? Father Hu asked.
Luo Jiangs father was already feeling a bit merry before he even had any alcohol. He said to Father Hu, Luo Jiang got all of them. He said that he felt bad that I had to work so hard and prepared them for me.
Ning Shu, who was eating when Luo Jiangs father said this, suddenly couldnt bring herself to chew anymore. Why did she feel like this dinner was a last supper of sorts?
Ning Shu glanced at Luo Jiang. She then lowered her head and picked at her food with her chopsticks.
2333, I think Luo Jiangs about to do it. You have to be ready, Ning Shu inwardly said to 2333.
2333s voice sounded a little shocked as it said, Humans are even willing to kill their own parents?
Ning Shu didnt say anything. A persons true nature would be revealed when they were miserable and desperate.
The situation could either s.h.i.+ne light into their beautiful soul or reveal an ugly side instead.
Human beings were complicated like that.
Luo Jiang was a little on the edge. He stared at his father, who was drinking with Father Hu, for a while, before turning to stare at his mother, who was conversing with Mother Hu.
Luo Jiang downed gla.s.s after gla.s.s of wine.
Although the dinner table was filled with the sounds of the clinking of dinnerware and conversation, Ning Shu felt like there was an undercurrent surging beneath it all. The atmosphere grew tenser as time pa.s.sed.
Ning Shu couldnt help but tense up. She kept watching Luo Jiang from the corner of her eye.
Luo Jiang put down his wine gla.s.s with a clink.
Since he had drunk a lot of wine, his face was flushed and his vision was a little blurred.
System, do it now. Luo Jiang shut his eyes as if he couldnt bear to watch.
It was about to start!
Ning Shus heart skipped a beat.
Suddenly, Luo Jiangs father, who had been gulping down wine, faltered and fell to the ground.
Old Luo? Father Hu quickly pulled Luo Jiangs father up. Whats wrong?
Mrs. Luo? Mother Hu cried out in shock as Luo Jiangs mother also fell down.
Mom! Dad! Luo Jiang opened his eyes. Tears streamed down his face as he hugged his father.
Inwardly, he was begging them for forgiveness over and over again. He really hadnt wanted to do this. Please, forgive him!
