During the phone call, Tang Xiu and Chen Xiaowan agreed on a time and place to meet and hung up the phone. Thinking of all the experiences he had with Chen Xiaowan, Tang Xiu felt a warm current surge in his heart.
once.
Chen Xiaowan almost regarded him as a biological brother and took great care of him. The time in the past was always so relaxed and enjoyable. His liking for this sister has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women. It is completely a kind of family affection and recognition.
"If you are willing to come with me, then I will take you away. If you want to stay, I will give you a guarantee of your future life. Because you are my sister."
Tang Xiu murmured in his heart, and his eyes shifted to the window.
The surrounding high-rise buildings are constantly receding, and the bustling streets are filled with people coming and going, walking through the rows of shops, shopping for a dazzling array of products. Tang Xiu suddenly felt that ordinary life was getting farther and farther away from him, and the peaceful life he once had was probably about to end.
"Gao Beilei, let me ask you a question."
Tang Xiu didn't look away, but his voice was a little strange.
Gao Beilei said softly: "Boss, please tell me."
Tang Xiu asked: "Do you think it is better to live a wonderful life? Or is it better to live a mediocre life?"
Gao Beilei said: "Of course you have to live a wonderful life. If you live a mediocre life, you will probably have regrets when you get old. However, this kind of thing cannot be settled. Everyone has different ideas. Some people want to live a wonderful life, and some people want to live a wonderful life. Some people like to live their lives in an ordinary way.”
“…”
Tang Xiu was speechless. Gao Beilei's answer was ambiguous, almost the same as no answer at all. However, he also knew in his heart that there really was no single answer to this kind of question. The heart has thoughts and dreams. Everyone has different pursuits and naturally has different concepts.
suddenly.
Tang Xiu looked out the window, his eyes froze, and he immediately said: "Park on the roadside."
Two cars stopped.
Tang Xiu didn't wait for his men to open the door, he pushed the door open and walked out. He looked at Su Yaning across the street holding ice cream and holding a handsome man on her arm. Tang Xiu didn't expect to meet her here.
actually.
Since returning from the fairy world, he has always been repelled by the Su family in his heart. Even though he later stopped arguing with them, he still kept a certain distance from them. Whether it was Su Shangwen, Su Yaning, or Su Xiangfei, they never paid too much attention. However, he taught Su Xiangfei the cultivation techniques, but allowed him to practice silently on his own, which did not help in terms of cultivation resources.
"Gao Beilei, I met an acquaintance, so I don't need you to accompany me to lunch. I will go to the headquarters of Shengtang Group by myself in the afternoon, and we will talk then."
Gao Beilei hesitated and asked, "Do you want to leave a car for you?"
Tang Xiu shook his head and said, "No need."
As Gao Beilei left, Tang Xiu crossed the zebra crossing. When he stood opposite Su Yaning and the handsome boy, he smiled lightly and said, "Beauty, handsome guy, can you please have lunch with me?"
"ah?"
When Su Yaning saw Tang Xiu, it was as if she had seen the New World. There was an incredible look in her eyes. She even let go of the handsome young man's hand, walked to Tang Xiu in a few steps, and then pinched Tang Xiu's face hard. .
"real."
Tang Xiu swept her hand away angrily and amusedly, and said with a smile.
Su Yaning murmured: "It's been three or four years, and I thought you were dead! You're still alive, why can't I see you?"
The face of the handsome young man changed. He felt keenly that the relationship between Su Yaning and Tang Xiu was not simple. There was a look of hostility in his eyes. He stepped forward and took Su Yaning's arm. He asked with a gloomy expression: "Yaning, who is he?" who?"
Tang Xiu could sense the hostility of the handsome young man, and said with a half-smile, "If I said I was her boyfriend, would you believe it?"
The handsome young man shouted angrily: "Shut up, I am Yaning's boyfriend."
Su Yaning woke up from a dream and looked at Tang Xiu's half-smiling expression. She immediately raised her hand angrily and hit Tang Xiu on the arm, and said angrily: "Can you stop talking nonsense? Chang Wei, let me introduce it to you." For a moment, he is my cousin, my aunt's child. Tang Xiu, he is Chang Wei, my boyfriend."
Tang Xiu smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to the handsome young man, and said, "Cousin-in-law, my cousin is very good. If you don't figure out the truth of the matter and just get jealous, you will definitely die of acid in the future."
When Chang Wei heard Su Yaning's introduction, his hostility toward Tang Xiu disappeared without a trace. He scratched his head in embarrassment. He shook hands with Tang Xiu and said apologetically: "Hello, cousin, it was my fault just now. , a bit petty. I am Chang Wei, the sales manager of Baolai Group."
Tang Xiu noticed that when Chang Wei said the last sentence, a confident expression appeared on his face. It even seems that he wants to prove his attitude deliberately.
"Tang Xiu."
Tang Xiu smiled and said his name, and said with a smile: "Cousin, cousin-in-law, since we met here and it's time for lunch soon, how about we have a meal together?"
"good!"
Su Yaning nodded in agreement without thinking.
Chang Wei also nodded to express his sincerity and said with a smile: "Tang Xiu, seeing that you are not old, you should still be studying, right? Are you studying in university in Shanghai? Let's make an agreement first. I will treat you to lunch today. I know there is a good restaurant nearby. .”
"good!"
Tang Xiu smiled lightly and nodded.
Su Yaning didn't think much about it. Even though Tang Xiu's identity was a bit scary, she had never told anyone about her relationship with Tang Xiu before, especially in front of her lover. She was afraid that the other party would treat her badly because she was Tang Xiu's cousin. Attitudes have changed.
Baiyan Restaurant.
The restaurant that Tang Xiu came to with Chang Wei and Su Yaning turned out to be the Shanghai branch of Baiyan Restaurant. When Tang Xiu saw the familiar plaque, a smile appeared on his face. After all, I haven't eaten here for three or four years, right? I don’t know who is managing Baiyan Restaurant now.
"welcome."
The three of them entered the room, and the two welcoming ladies bowed and said. Moreover, a waiter came quickly and said with a smile: "Are you three of you?"
Chang Wei maintained his demeanor and said with a smile: "Yes, there are three of us."
"Please come in."
The waiter was a new face, so he didn't know Tang Xiu. After leading the three people inside, he arranged a seat for them. At this time, there were many guests in the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant, but luckily, there was an empty table by the window.
Tang Xiu looked at the scene in the restaurant and sighed secretly in his heart. In the past three or four years, things and people here have changed. He only found two old employees here. The two people were still greeting other guests and did not notice themselves.
After taking a seat.
Chang Wei took the menu, then handed it to Tang Xiu and said with a smile: "Cousin Tang Xiu, this is the first time I have met Yaning's family. Fortunately, I should be a few years older than you. Between us, There should be a lot of common topics. Let’s order food. Order whatever you like. Today, I’m ready to spend a lot of money to please your future wife’s mother-in-law.”
A trace of shyness appeared on Su Yaning's face, she hit Chang Wei's arm with her hand, and laughed softly: "What are you talking about? I haven't agreed to marry you yet."
Tang Xiu looked at Su Yaning's shyness and realized that his cousin might really like Chang Wei. So, he nodded with a smile, ordered the six best and most expensive signature dishes of Baiyan Restaurant, then returned the menu to Chang Wei, and said with a smile: "Cousin-in-law, I've ordered it, do you want any more?" add a bit?"
Chang Wei smiled bitterly in his heart, each of the six signature dishes Tang Xiu just ordered was quite expensive. Even if I don't order anymore, I'm afraid that one meal today will cost me half a month's salary.
Although it hurt slightly, he still added two more dishes.
"You ordered too much, so you can't waste it." Su Yaning shook his head and smiled.
Tang Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay, just be happy."
Chang Wei rolled his eyes secretly, feeling speechless in his heart.
Just be happy
I wish you were happy, man, one meal costs half a month's salary. How could three people finish eight dishes? This will definitely waste a lot of money.
Just as Chang Wei watched the waiter leave in depression, he spotted a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. His eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Yaning, Tang Xiu, I saw an acquaintance. Go over and say hello."
"good!"
Tang Xiu and Su Yaning nodded.
As Chang Wei left, Su Yaning said with a smile: "We told you first, don't take the initiative to reveal your identity. Also, you can treat me to this meal today."
Tang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "Cousin, you're not married yet, so you're just protecting your man?"
Su Yaning rolled her eyes and said angrily and funny: "Who is protecting the man? This is your territory. Do you need money to eat?"
Tang Xiu laughed dumbly.
Inside the hall door.
Chang Wei trotted towards the acquaintance and was six or seven meters away. He hurriedly stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you coming over for dinner?"
Mr. Wang was an elegant middle-aged man with a general belly. When he saw Chang Wei, he just nodded, without even shaking hands with Chang Wei, and said lightly: "I'm here for dinner. Manager Chang is also here. Want to eat? The consumption level here is not low!"
Although Chang Wei was very disgusted with this Mr. Wang in his heart, after all, he was his boss and the second-in-command of the group company, so he could only say with a smile: "Invite my girlfriend's family to dinner, so the consumption is You are not low, but you have to endure the pain, right? Mr. Wang, is this my sister-in-law? She is so beautiful. How about you come to our table? I will treat you today? "
"good!"
Before Mr. Wang spoke, the young girl beside him nodded in agreement. Chang Wei didn't expect the speed with which she agreed. Even Mr. Wang next to her showed an angry look.
