"He is with Mengxi now. Isn't Uncle Chen planning to arrange a marriage for Mengxi? So he is Mengxi's fake boyfriend under contract now." Li Mengyao said calmly, as if she had known that Li Tengwei would show this expression.
"When did he show up?" Li Tengwei didn't care about Chen Mengxi's engagement at all. He cared about Liu Xun, so when he saw Li Mengyao keeping it a secret, he couldn't help but feel anxious.
"Yesterday morning, international airport, flight from New York to S City." Li Mengyao took out two cans of herbal tea from the refrigerator and threw one to Li Tengwei.
"Is he alone?" Li Tengwei took the herbal tea and asked.
"One." Li Mengyao paused for a moment and then added, "At least when I met him, he was alone, and when we first met, he seemed a little uncomfortable."
Li Mengyao recalled the scene of that day. Now she didn't think that Liu Xun was nervous because of seeing the beautiful woman. How could a person like that be nervous about such a small thing
"This bastard, it would have been fine if he didn't tell those old guys when he came back, but he didn't even tell me!" Li Tengwei opened the pull ring of the herbal tea can, took a sip, and then cursed with a smile.
"Brother... he is the person from three years ago, right?" Looking at Li Tengwei's expression, Li Mengyao already knew the answer in her heart, but still asked.
"Yes, he is indeed the man from three years ago." Li Tengwei smiled and asked, "Why? He didn't recognize you?"
"It's good that you recognized me. It's obvious that you have no impression of me at all." Li Mengyao pouted, with a hint of resentment in her eyes.
"Well, girls change a lot when they grow up. If I hadn't returned home several times in the past few years, I wouldn't have recognized you. He must have encountered a lot of things in the past few years, so it's normal that he didn't recognize you." Li Tengwei said with a chuckle while looking at the photo of Liu Xun on his mobile phone.
After Liu Xun and Chen Mengxi returned to the hotel, they went back to their respective rooms. Liu Xun lay on the bed, recalling the five years of his military career.
Bullets flying, swords gleaming, these words are insignificant to describe the danger, because the unit he was in was so special that even the best special forces might not be selected.
"I don't know how grandpa and Liu Zhang are doing." Liu Xun sighed. He thought that Liu Zhang must have been admitted to university and might have graduated and started a family by now.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Liu Xun's lips. He and Liu Zhang were both orphans, and were raised by an old man, so the two brothers had a very good relationship since childhood, closer than real brothers.
In the morning, Liu Xun still got up early and went for a five-kilometer morning run. This has almost become his habit. If he doesn't run for a while every day, he will feel uncomfortable all over.
Some people say that this is an occupational disease left over from being a soldier, but Liu Xun believes that this is the first pot of gold he has laid down for his own capital. The great Chairman Mao once said that the body is the capital of revolution.
In this prosperous age, although there is no need for revolution, your body is still your own. A real man needs to establish himself in the world. Without a good body, how can he achieve success in his career
When they returned to the hotel, it was already past eight o'clock. Chen Mengxi was eating a buffet in the restaurant. When he saw Liu Xun, he casually asked, "Are you going to see the scenery again?"
"Yes, it's such a beautiful country. It would be a pity if you don't take a good look at it." Liu Xun sat down in front of Chen Mengxi, and Chen Mengxi nodded and said no more. It was obvious that he still had some grudges in his heart because of what happened yesterday.
When Chen Mengxi finished eating, she took out a card from her bag, pushed it in front of Liu Xun, and said, "There is 100,000 yuan in this card, and the password is 1456."
Seeing this, Liu Xun frowned slightly, then looked at Chen Mengxi and asked in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"I guess after today's meal with my dad, our relationship will be over. After all, my dad no longer forces me to go on blind dates." Chen Mengxi took a sip of milk and said softly.
"Oh, I understand that." Liu Xun nodded, but then said: "But that's not what I want to say. According to what I said before, it's 300 a day. Now it's only the third day, you can just give me 900."
"You..." Chen Mengxi was speechless when she heard Liu Xun's words, but she couldn't say that she wanted to give more money because she felt sorry for Liu Xun. After all, she thought that 100,000 yuan was already a lot of money in the eyes of a migrant worker, but she didn't expect that Liu Xun would actually reject her.
"Okay then." Chen Mengxi put the card away, took out nine hundred cash from her bag, threw it to Liu Xun, and walked towards her room.
Liu Xun looked at Chen Mengxi's back, shook his head and smiled, put the cash away, and then took a few bean paste buns and started eating. In Liu Xun's opinion, people should be self-reliant and should not be greedy for ill-gotten gains.
For example, although Chen Mengxi had good intentions, Liu Xun thought that the money was not his. It was not that Liu Xun did not love money, but his grandfather often taught Liu Xun that "money is not a lot, as long as it is enough to spend; a gentleman loves money, but he gets it in a proper way.";
After the meal, Chen Mengxi and Liu Xun went to Hao Tai. When the Ferrari stopped in front of the gate of Hao Tai, although Liu Xun had been there once, he couldn't help but sigh at the luxury of this hotel.
Entering the crystal elevator, he arrived at the villa on the 88th floor. When he entered the villa, Liu Xun discovered that Li Mengyao and Li Wangguo were already there, and Cheng Tianlin and a middle-aged man with glasses were also there.
"That's outrageous! Even if young people want to play, there should be a limit. Look, you actually let the guests wait for you two." As soon as Liu Xun and Chen Mengxi entered the house, they heard Chen Jiancheng's reproachful words.
Although the words were meant as a reproach, Liu Xun really didn't hear any tone of blame in them, and this sentence also indirectly told the Cheng father and son that this marriage might not be possible.
Who is Chen Jiancheng? Every word was carefully considered, but Cheng's father was obviously not a simple person. Naturally, he could hear the meaning of this sentence, so he chuckled and said nothing.
"Sorry uncle, Mengxi felt nauseous this morning and retched in the bathroom, so I took her to the hospital for a checkup, which delayed us."
Liu Xun glanced at Cheng Tianlin, his eyes narrowed slightly. Wasn't he angry about what happened in the mall yesterday? That was impossible, so he deliberately said this today.
When the words fell, the faces of everyone present changed. Li Mengyao chuckled because she knew that this was simply impossible. Li Wangguo put down the teacup in his hand, but said nothing.
Chen Jiancheng frowned and then let out a sigh. A gleam of light flashed in Cheng Guoli's eyes, but then disappeared. Cheng Tianlin's eyes became fierce and he gritted his teeth secretly.
Nausea? Retching? Hospital checkup? These three words made Cheng Tianlin's imagination run wild. Looking at Chen Mengxi's slender figure and delicate face, the scene of Liu Xun lying on Chen Mengxi and moving constantly appeared in his mind. Cheng Tianlin felt as if his heart was pierced by needles.
On the contrary, Chen Mengxi looked calm, but she was puzzled. What was Liu Xun doing? When did she feel sick? When did he go to the hospital? Oh, yes, he must be making excuses for being late this time.
Liu Xun glanced at Cheng Tianlin, and when he saw Cheng Tianlin's murderous eyes, the smile on his face deepened. Cheng Tianlin took a deep breath, suppressed the emotions in his heart, and walked towards Liu Xun with a smile on his lips.
"Hello, my name is Cheng Tianlin. It's our first meeting. I hope you can take care of me." Cheng Tianlin did give people a good impression, his smile was very friendly, and he extended his hand in front of Liu Xun.
"Hello, my name is Liu Xun." Since the other party was doing it politely, Liu Xun could not refuse. He could only reach out his hand and hold Cheng Tianlin's hand.
But just when Liu Xun's palm just touched Cheng Tianlin's palm, Cheng Tianlin suddenly exerted force. Liu Xun chuckled and exerted force slightly with his palm. Suddenly, there was a "crack" sound, and then Cheng Tianlin's face looked as if he had been injected with chicken blood.
Others may not have noticed the whole thing, but Li Wangguo saw it clearly. He shook his head and smiled, saying softly: "You are asking for trouble."
Following Li Wangguo's whispers, Chen Jiancheng and others also discovered something was wrong, but they didn't know what to say. At this time, Cheng Tianlin's face was extremely ugly. When Liu Xun let go, his entire palm was shaking.
"If you don't do it... you won't die." Liu Xun whispered in Cheng Tianlin's ear, then patted Cheng Tianlin on the shoulder and said, "I hope you will take care of me in the future."
"Definitely, definitely." Cheng Tianlin endured the pain. He didn't dare to say that his hand bones were broken, but they were definitely dislocated. The severe pain made his forehead covered with sweat.
Soon, the table was filled with food. This was a family dinner, and the food was not very luxurious, but delicious. Cheng Guoli also realized that it was his son who started it first. He couldn't say anything in front of Chen Jiancheng, and just kept smiling without any change in his expression.
"Liu Xun, what do you want to drink? Red wine, white wine or beer? Once you are here, it's just like being at home. Don't be restrained." After the food was served, Chen Jiancheng asked Liu Xun.
"Sorry, uncle, I don't know how to drink." Liu Xun smiled apologetically and said softly.
"Can't drink? How can there be a man who can't drink? Haven't you heard this saying? If a man doesn't touch cigarettes and alcohol, his life in this world is in vain. Even if you can't do anything, you must not be unable to drink." Cheng Guoli said with a smile.
Liu Xun smiled apologetically again, then pointed to his head and said, "Alcohol will paralyze the brain, and tobacco will shorten life and expose oneself, so I never touch these two things."
"Well, good! That's principled." When Li Wangguo heard Liu Xun's words, he nodded repeatedly.
Liu Xun chuckled and said nothing more. He sneered in his heart: "I won't touch cigarettes. After all, it will affect the battle if I have a craving for cigarettes during the battle. But as for wine... wine is for drinking with friends and brothers, but here... there are people who have bad intentions towards me. How can I drink with such people?"
