Chapter 553: Reason
(Please book, please vote!)
That night, Jiang Xiao came to Liu Yifei's house with some gifts.
This was an unexpected incident. The woman called and said that Sister Liu invited him to her house for dinner on the pretext of her birthday.
It's not Sister Liu's birthday, but Liu Yifei's birthday. In fact, it's been a few days, and it happens to be the day before he returns to China that is the woman's real birthday.
But the mother-in-law insisted on using this excuse to ask Jiang Xiao to come to her house for dinner and make up for her birthday. Naturally, he couldn't refuse, and this was the scene where she came to her house.
Although he had met Sister Liu countless times on the set of "The Condor", the situation now was naturally different, which made him a little uneasy.
"Xiaojiang, here we come!"
"Hello, auntie, I don't know what you like, so I just brought some gifts here."
No matter what, after knocking on the door of the Liu family and being led by Liu Yifei who opened the door, Jiang Xiao went to the living room near the kitchen and saw Sister Liu wearing an apron and seemed to be cooking herself.
The gift of time has been given.
Of course, he didn't forget that he came today to make up for Liu Yifei's birthday. Naturally, he also didn't forget to give the woman another birthday gift and continued: "Sissi, this is for you."
"Thank you, brother Jiang Xiao."
Liu Yifei, who smiled sweetly, immediately accepted the gift.
"Xiaojiang, you see you are so polite. Sissi, please pick it up together, and then talk to Xiaojiang for a while. My meal is almost ready!"
Seeing this, Liu Xiaoli motioned to her daughter to take the things together. After explaining a little, she looked at Jiang Xiao again and continued to smile: "That Xiao Jiang, auntie, I'll excuse you here!"
"Don't worry about me, Auntie, you are busy."
Jiang Xiao naturally responded politely to this.
It wasn't until Sister Liu returned to the kitchen that he looked at Liu Yifei and asked in a low voice: "Qianxi, what's going on?"
"I don't know. After seeing your news and knowing that you returned to the capital, my mother asked me to invite you over for dinner. She also said that we are already boyfriend and girlfriend, and it's okay to come to our house for a meal. I also
I couldn’t say no, so I called you.”
After putting down the things in her hands, Liu Yifei also told all the truth she knew.
"Okay, then the water will come and the soil will flood, and the soldiers will come to stop it, just take it one step at a time!"
Seeing Liu Yifei, she didn't know what was going on. What else could Jiang Xiao say.
"What are you doing, do you look like you are still afraid of my mother? How come you don't know how to be afraid when you bully her daughter?"
Liu Yifei, who was a little funny, took the opportunity to tease Jiang Xiao.
"It's strange that I'm afraid of my mother-in-law when I see her for the first time as a son-in-law."
Jiang Xiao, who also smiled, turned around and teased the woman.
"Don't talk nonsense, my mother is not your mother-in-law!"
Although she said this, Liu Yifei's face was filled with a smile that could not be concealed.
"It doesn't matter whether you admit it or not. If Sister Liu admits it, do you still dare to object?"
"Hmph, don't use Sister Liu to pressure me. I won't tell you this anymore. By the way, brother Jiang Xiao, I have watched "Inception" and it was quite good. I found it very shocking."
"It's okay, I'm just a supporting role."
"The foreign actress in there is also good-looking. Did she have a kissing scene with you? She seems to be the woman who took the initiative to kiss you at the Lakers game, right? Are you guys quitting in one month?"
"Ahem, Sissi, what are you talking about? She has a boyfriend, okay?"
Jiang Xiao felt that even Liu Yifei had learned to make a twist at every turn, catching people off guard.
"You have a boyfriend and you still kiss you?"
Liu Yifei asked in disbelief.
"It's not like you don't know that for Westerners, a kiss is not a big deal, right? Their culture is more open, and since you know this, you should also know that I helped her block the flying basketball.
Isn't it?"
It’s okay to know the kiss scene after watching the movie, but Jiang Xiao was a little surprised that Liu Yifei seemed to even know about watching the game. It had been more than a year or so.
"Take it easy, don't do it to everyone, huh!"
"Ahem, am I this kind of person? By the way, have you finished filming that scene? Are you going to ruin the classic "A Chinese Ghost Story"?"
Unable to continue talking, Jiang Xiao simply changed the topic.
"Brother Jiang Xiao, can you speak? What does it mean to destroy a classic? It's true."
Liu Yifei gave the man a blank look, and was speechless as the man mentioned this issue again.
But after that, he still added: "I haven't finished filming yet, but I haven't had any scenes in the past few days, so I can take a break. I just have to go back to the capital to attend an event, otherwise I wouldn't have time to have dinner with you."
"These classic movies, no matter how they are made, will be criticized by others. It is inevitable. Just like the "Condor" made by the two of us, it was the same at the beginning."
"Maybe so. Okay, brother Jiang Xiao, let's not talk about it for now. The food seems to be ready. I'll go help first."
Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted Liu Yifei, whose mother was already serving food to the restaurant, and stopped talking with Jiang Xiao.
"Then I'll go too."
Jiang Xiao, who also saw it, felt that he could not really be treated like a "guest", so after hearing the woman's words, he planned to help.

Less than ten minutes later.
Jiang Xiao and Liu Yifei, mother and daughter, were already sitting on both sides of the dining table. He was sitting alone on one side, while the other two were sitting together on the other side.
After finishing, Sister Liu greeted him immediately and said, "Xiao Jiang, don't dislike auntie's cooking. Just make do with home-cooked dishes."
"Auntie there, it smells delicious just by smelling it!"
In front of his mother-in-law, Jiang Xiao naturally wanted to cheer her up.
And it smells really good, so it’s probably hard not to taste it.
In short, just like this, Jiang Xiao, mother and daughter Liu Yifei started chatting without saying a word while eating.
I can't let go, and I must be a little reserved. After all, Sister Liu is here, she belongs to the older generation, and it's not like I'm having candlelight dinners with Sister Sissy all the time.
Until in such an atmosphere, at a certain moment, Jiang Xiao heard Sister Liu say again: "Xiao Jiang, I heard that you have accepted another Hollywood movie? Are you planning to develop in Hollywood? Do you also have connections there?
"
"I have accepted a movie, but I haven't said that I will go to Hollywood to develop or anything. My main focus will still be on China."
Seeing that Sister Liu suddenly changed the topic to work, Jiang Xiao felt as if he suddenly understood the true intention of his mother-in-law to invite him over for dinner.
Could it be that you want him to help Sissi get some Hollywood roles?
Regardless of whether it was true or not, Jiang Xiao naturally told his true plan.
Originally, he wanted to say that going to Hollywood to develop his career would not prove anything. As a Chinese, his roots have always been in China.
But Jiang Xiao was not so foolish as to say it. After all, the two people in front of him were all Chinese-Americans in terms of nationality.
This is a personal choice. He doesn't have much to say. Everyone has the right to choose.
Maybe it's because Sister Liu went abroad in her early years. At that time, the country was really backward and she was always a little obsessed.
It is also undeniable that Liu Yifei definitely carries some of Liu Xiaoli's personal sustenance and pursuits.
"Really? If you have the opportunity, it would be great. Why not go to Hollywood to develop?"
Liu Xiaoli herself, who was a little surprised by Jiang Xiao's answer, subconsciously asked a question.
"Hey, Auntie, don't you think our company is in the country?"
After thinking for a while, Jiang Xiao simply used his company as an excuse.
"That's the case, by the way, Xiao Jiang, why don't you pay more attention to her in the future to see if there is any suitable opportunity for Sissi, someone who happens to be able to talk again? Thank you, Auntie!"
"Mom, we are eating, why are you talking about this!"
Next to me, Liu Yifei, who heard this, had not yet figured out the reason why Sister Liu asked Jiang Xiao to come over for dinner.
This made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, and she didn't know why, but she felt uncomfortable.
Maybe it’s because something that was originally simple suddenly became utilitarian.
Furthermore, Liu Yifei remembered that the man told her last time that she successfully got the role because of investment.
Now that her mother is raising this issue, could it be that Jiang Xiao also spends money to buy a role for her or what?
"It's okay. If I can help, I will definitely help."
Yes, Sister Liu also spoke frankly. Is it possible that Jiang Xiao can still say no?
And if you really have a chance, just help me. Sissi is my woman after all.
However, Hollywood can only wait for opportunities or something. After all, Jiang Xiao can control more at home than abroad.
"Okay, okay, let's eat and eat and don't talk about this anymore!"
