Chương 316: Getting Drunk

"You can eat now. Old Master Xia said that he won't be coming down to eat. I'll bring it up for him," Auntie Chen said respectfully.

Qiao Mei lowered her head and whispered to Xia Zhe, "Is grandfather not feeling well?"

Xia Zhe patted Qiao Mei's head and said, "Don't worry. Grandfather probably feels that there are too many youngsters and women around and that his presence would make it difficult for us to talk and catch up. That's why he's not coming down. If you're worried, we can go to the study room to chat with him after dinner."

Qiao Mei nodded and followed Xia Zhe to the dining room. When everyone was seated, they started to eat in silence.

"So, let me say a few words. The Xia family has confirmed two kids of the next generation today and we're all gathered together. Let's have drinks and catch up!" Zhou Hua stood up and went to the liquor cabinet.
