Father Shi was just being polite. He did not expect Xie Yunzhou to really sit down.
This was ridiculous.
But he had already sat down.
Moreover, he was sitting beside Shi Xi.
"What are you doing here?" Shi Xi asked softly.
"Happy New Year." Xie Yunzhou didn't even blink. "I'm apologizing to you as well."
"Come, come, let's have a drink together." Father Shi liked to be lively and continued to drink with his children.
Xie Yunzhou had a wine glass in front of him, so he naturally drank it as well.
Shi Xu and Shi Chen took turns pouring wine for Xie Yunzhou, and he drank quite a bit.
Even Shi Shuo knew that Xie Yunzhou did not come with good intentions, so he drank two more cups.
In the end, Shi Shuo was the first to fall.
Father Shi did not drink much and asked Xie Yunzhou a question like an elder, "Why didn't you go back to Yanjing for the New Year?"
"I still have work to do here."
