The two went in and chatted with Cao Qiuhua's parents for a bit, but then Cao Qiuhua came in and stopped her parents from talking, obviously not wanting Song Xiaoru to know too much.
This made both Song Xiaoru and Song Xiaodong feel even more certain there was a problem. Song Xiaoru was a bit unwilling to let it go, but Song Xiaodong shook his head at her. Song Xiaoru knew he must have a plan, so she didn't press further and took out a thousand yuan, giving it to Cao Qiuhua's mother, which left Cao Qiuhua's parents endlessly grateful.
After preparing several dishes, Cao Qiuhua first took a portion to her parents, then called for Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru to sit down and eat together. She also brought out two bottles of white liquor.
Cao Qiuhua poured the liquor and said, "Xiaoru, this might be my last crazy moment before getting married. Today, I just want to drink to my heart's content, and you have to keep me company."
