Tang Zhengtian looked up at the crystal chandelier and nodded. "I hope so," he muttered to himself.
Hu Lang was busy brewing tea. He poured a cup for Xu Yun and said, "This is Boss Tang's favorite white tea. He doesn't use it unless it's an important guest."
"Oh? Then I'll have to try it. " Xu Yun smiled. It seemed that Hu Lang and Sable had gotten used to this peaceful life after leaving the underground world. They seemed to have lost interest in improving their state of mind and strength. Instead, they began to study flowers, plants, tea, and cooking.
Tang Zhengtian glanced at Hu Lang. "The only guest I can have here is Xu Yun. This can't be described as important. Hahaha. How about this? Xu Yun, stay for lunch today and try their cooking."
"Uncle Tang, I'll try the tea, but I won't eat lunch. I still have some things to take care of when I get back. Otherwise, I won't be able to go to Jibei without worry," Xu Yun said. "When I come back from Jibei, I'll definitely come here for lunch."
Tang Zhengtian nodded. "Since you've said so, I won't force you to stay. Let's have some tea!" Xu Yun had gone to Jibei City several times for the Tang family. This was already the best he could do. Tang Zhengtian didn't have the right to ask for more. Although he really wanted to tell Xu Yun that he hoped he could stay by Jibei City's Jiu 'er's side forever, he couldn't selfishly ask for more.
After being in Hedong City for so many days, he had more or less heard about Xu Yun. After all, a tall tree attracts the wind. Xu Yun's name was too well-known here. Xu Yun had taken time out of his busy schedule to go to Jibei City to help his daughter and the Tang family. Tang Zhengtian was already very grateful. How could he ask for more?
Xu Yun chatted with Tang Zhengtian for about an hour. Seeing that Tang Zhengtian was fine, he could go to Northern Ji with peace of mind. He could also talk to Tang Jiu and tell her to completely relax and run the Tang family well.
After sending off Xu Yun, Tang Zhengtian asked Hu Lang and Sable to stop what they were doing and take his beloved dog to drive him around. Since Xu Yun was going to Jibei, he had nothing to worry about. The only thing he could do was to take care of his body and relax as much as possible.
…
When Ruan Qingshuang found out that Xu Yun was going to Ji Bei, she was more or less bothered. She wanted to say that she would go with him, but she was afraid that she would delay him. In the end, she could only hold back her thoughts.
"Sister Shuang, Tang Jiu treats us as friends. Since she trusts me, of course I have to support her." Xu Yun: "I'll only be there for two or three days. I'll leave Guoguo and Chou Yeon to you. Chou Yeon's mood has been a bit strange these days. You're both women. If you have nothing to do, you can talk to her. You and Qin Wan 'er can talk to her. I'm sure you'll be able to relax."
"Don't worry. I'll take care of everything here. " Ruan Qingshuang said lightly: "Since you've decided to leave after lunch, I'll make dumplings for you. There's a saying in my hometown: 'Rise dumplings, land noodles'. When you come back, I'll make noodles with mixed soy sauce for you."
Xu Yun was, of course, happy. He hadn't eaten dumplings made by himself for a long time. He usually ate frozen dumplings, which couldn't be compared with the dumplings made by his family.
Anyway, there was nothing to do in the afternoon. Xu Yun washed his hands and helped. Kneading the dough, rolling the skin, and mixing the meat fillings were all easy. The two of them were busy, and time passed quickly. Liangshan and Lv Wenyi wanted to help, but they were all rejected by Xu Yun. He enjoyed this kind of feeling.
After Guoguo came back from school with Chou Yeon, Qin Waner also came home from work. Xu Yun and Ruan Qingshuang also finished their work. Liangshan immediately ordered the kitchen to make room for Ruan Qingshuang. Ruan Qingshuang personally cooked dumplings for Xu Yun.
When Qin Waner heard that Xu Yun was going to leave, she rolled her eyes several times. Finally, she said sarcastically: "It's only been a few days, and you're already thinking of your Little Sister Jiu?"
"Yes, my Little Sister Jiu's words are much nicer than some people's. I don't feel that it's harsh at all." Xu Yun also mercilessly retorted.
Guoguo rolled her eyes a few times and looked at Qin Waner with a serious face: "Sister Waner, mom hasn't been jealous about this yet. Why are you starting to be jealous … Don't fall too deep into my dad …"
"You understand now?" Qin Waner picked up a dumpling and stuffed it into Guoguo's mouth: "Such delicious dumplings can't even block your little mouth, right?"
Guoguo quickly ate the dumpling and complained that it was scalding, which made Qin Waner very angry.
"How many days are you going this time?" Chou Yeon frowned: "Do you still need my help?"
"If I need help, I'll bring Qian Feng and the others." Xu Yun said lightly: "But I think that maybe there's no need for so many people over there. I can do it by myself. I'll be back in two or three days at most. There's no need to mobilize so many people. "
Chou Yeon nodded and didn't say anything.
Xu Yun didn't realize that there was something wrong with Chou Yeon's face. He only cared about getting food for Guoguo and told her to be good at home and not make trouble for mom and teacher.
Guoguo completely ignored these instructions: "Dad, do you think I'm those children? Don't worry about me. When you get to Ji Bei, you have to comfort Sister Xiao Jiu. I can see that she likes you. No matter what, she's my sworn sister. You can't be too straightforward and hurt her heart. Otherwise, I won't forgive you. Uh, well, you can't make the act real. That way, Mother won't be happy … Also, Sister Wan 'er might be jealous. Well, anyway, that's all I want to say. You can do as you see fit. "
This little girl's words made Xu Yun not know whether to cry or laugh. Her request was really too difficult. She was very thoughtful and thought about everyone's feelings, but she didn't think about him, a man who was sandwiched in the middle. It was much more difficult than any other woman.
Guoguo sighed. Seeing Xu Yun's bitter face, she could only comfort him: "Dad, if I was of legal age for marriage, I would definitely accept you. That way, you wouldn't be in a difficult position and everyone wouldn't have to worry about you. I forgot to mention Sister Chou Yeon. Although she doesn't say much, she is very concerned about you. Don't be gone for too long, everyone will miss you."
This time, it wasn't just one person who picked up the dumplings. Ruan Qingshuang, Qin Wan 'er, and Chou Yeon stuffed three dumplings into Guoguo's mouth, filling it up. Even so, Guoguo still stubbornly said: "What I said … is the truth! Why, I was right … Well, you can't use so many dumplings … Well … Seren's mouth! "
After dinner, Xu Yun left Qiang's car keys at Ruan Qingshuang's place and called Qiang. He had driven a car back from the Tang family's house. This time, he would drive that car back directly. He would treat it as returning the car on the way back.
Xu Yun drove out of the Medicinal Cuisine Hotel. Dan Jiahao directly asked all the security guards to stand up and send him off at the door. That posture was quite imposing, as if a national leader had come to visit.
Xu Yun smiled helplessly and stepped on the accelerator. Soon, they were far away from the Medicinal Cuisine Hotel.
"Sigh, it's really hard to be a good man. If I'm not careful, I'll break the hearts of a few women," Guoguo said seriously. Then, she walked with her hands behind her back and walked to the elevator alone.
Ruan Qingshuang, Qin Wan 'er, and Chou Yeon who stayed at the door were speechless. Now that Guoguo spoke, their conditioned hearts would jump up to their throats. This feeling was really uncomfortable.
…
Xu Yun drove directly to the highway. He had driven to and fro Jibei City twice, so he was familiar with the road conditions. Along the way, there was no obstruction. He successfully reached Jibei City before bedtime.
On the day Tang Zhengtian left the Tang family, Aunt Xue was confirmed to have passed away in the hospital due to overdose of tranquilizers. Now, Tang Jiu was the only one living in the six-hundred-square-meter villa. That was why it was especially quiet at night.
Xu Yun didn't tell Tang Jiu that he was going back to Jibei City this time. Tang Jiu didn't ask Xu Yun either. She felt that Xu Yun had helped her enough. Moreover, her father went to Hedong this time and had many things to trouble Xu Yun. This made Tang Jiu even more unable to ask Xu Yun for help.
Although Tang Jiu didn't have any confidence about what would happen tomorrow night and didn't know what kind of problems those people would give her, she really hoped that there would be someone by her side who could support her. To her, this was a kind of psychological support, but now she couldn't find anyone.
Although Tang Yifei seemed to be very supportive of her on the surface, Tang Jiu knew that she couldn't let Tang Yifei take the initiative tomorrow night. Otherwise, others would think that she was a puppet of her second uncle Tang Zhenfeng and second brother Tang Yifei in the Tang family.
She was very clear about this. Tang Yifei was going to play this card tomorrow. He would do everything he could to make everyone think that he was the real master of the Tang family.
Moreover, at the same time, Third Uncle Tang Sanguo, Fourth Brother Tang Shaofeng, and Fifth Brother Tang Yi were definitely not easy to deal with. Although they would not be like Tang Yifei who wanted to have a first impression, they would definitely help outsiders to question her. Needless to say, the other members of the Tang family wouldn't be able to help her at all.
Thinking about what would happen tomorrow, Tang Jiu felt nervous, very nervous. Only now did she know how much effort her father had put into being the head of this family. Only now did Tang Jiu realize how tiring it was to fight and scheme against each other in the dark.
