On the wide highway, the vehicles were like flowing water and the people were like dragons, fully displaying the bustling and elegant demeanor of the Imperial Capital. Amidst the traffic, Tan Xiu was driving a BMW with a smile on his handsome face. On the front seat, Tian Xiaomeng had yet to completely calm down from the lingering fear.
"Should I send you to the airport? Or send you to the hotel? "
After a long while, as Tian Xiaomeng's complexion turned a bit rosy, Tan Xiu asked with a beaming smile.
"Where are you going?" Asked Tian Xiaomeng hurriedly.
"I'm going home!" Tan Xiu said.
"Isn't your home in Star City?" Asked Tian Xiaomeng with a confused expression.
"Yeah, my home is indeed in Star City. But I also have a home in the Imperial Capital!" Tan Xiu said with a smile. "Tian Xiaomeng, there's no rule stating that you can't have a home in the Imperial Capital if you have a home in Star City, right?"
Tian Xiaomeng suddenly understood. She recalled Tan Xiu's identity and his ability to make money. Not to mention buying a house in the Imperial Capital, even buying a few big villas wouldn't be a problem. Since she was still worried that the department would find her to settle the account, she said with a bit of nervousness, "I'll go with you. I'll go wherever you go."
Cough, cough …
Tan Xiu was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh as he looked at Tian Xiaomeng and said, "Are you afraid that those people will find trouble with you again?"
"I'm not afraid as long as I'm with you," replied Tian Xiaomeng with a vague answer.
Tan Xiu was dumbfounded. How could this girl be so timid? Didn't she seem to be relying on him? After thinking for a while, he said with a serious expression, "Tian Xiaomeng, what about those people before? They are people with special identities, good people who are responsible for the stability of the country. Since I've brought you out, they won't look for you again as long as you don't report that kind of news again. Of course, if you're still worried, you can follow me to my home for the next two days. I'll take you back when I return to Star City. "
"I'll go with you to your home," said Tian Xiaomeng without hesitation.
Tan Xiu felt helpless inwardly, but he still nodded and said, "Alright! It just so happens that my grandfather is celebrating his eightieth birthday. Come with me and join in the fun! However, you're not allowed to start a live broadcast for the next two days, and you're not allowed to reveal my private information. "
"I promise, I won't."
Tian Xiaomeng immediately made a swearing gesture.
The few alleys surrounding the Tang family's ancestral home had been cordoned off by soldiers standing guard. There were also countless plainclothes patrolling the area to prevent people from causing trouble during Old Master Tang's 80th birthday.
However …
Even so, there were still many people from all over the country who came to celebrate the birthday. All of them brought along their identity invitations that they had obtained in advance and prepared all sorts of gifts, causing the surrounding alleys to seem much livelier than before. Tang Guosheng was not worried about those gifts. On the one hand, he had already said that they could not prepare expensive gifts. On the other hand, he was no longer an official, so he did not have to worry about the impact. Moreover, the Tang Family was on the verge of becoming the most powerful family in the capital, so no one would attack the Tang Family over such a small matter. Even the head of the family would turn a blind eye to it.
"Creak …"
After the white BMW stopped at the entrance of the outer alley, Tan Xiu and Tian Xiaomeng got out of the car. He then threw the key to a young man who came to greet them.
"Tan Xiu, is this your home?"
Tian Xiaomeng was like a curious baby. After looking around, she lowered her voice and asked. Because she had already seen the soldiers standing guard on both sides of the alley. There were also some men in casual clothes patrolling around like bodyguards.
"Yeah," said Tan Xiu with a smile.
Tian Xiaomeng noticed that many eyes were looking at her. She immediately grabbed Tan Xiu's arm and asked in a low voice, "What exactly does your family do, exactly? Why are there soldiers standing guard here? Also, look at those people around. They're just like the ones who caught me before. They're a bit scary. "
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, twice shy. It was very likely that this girl was really traumatized after being caught by the people from the State Security Department.
"Don't worry! They're all good people. "
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile. Suddenly, he recalled something and curiously asked, "That's right. I forgot to ask you. How did you come to the Imperial Capital?"
Tian Xiaomeng stared blankly for a moment. Then, she immediately patted her forehead and said, "It's over, it's over. I came to the Imperial Capital because I was invited by a TV station to participate in a program. The program's recording time will be this afternoon. "
"What program is it?" asked Tan Xiu.
"It's an interview program," said Tian Xiaomeng. "The number of my fans has increased greatly recently. Every time I broadcast it, hundreds of thousands of viewers will watch it. Sometimes, the number of online fans can exceed a million. So I was invited. "
"I never thought that you'd become a big star." Tan Xiu said with a smile. "How about this? Let's attend my grandpa's birthday banquet first. If I can spare some time in the afternoon, I'll personally send you to the program. If not, I'll send someone to send you there. "
Tian Xiaomeng hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to greet the TV station first."
"Alright."
As Tan Xiu and Tian Xiaomeng chatted, they quickly entered the alley. At the end of the alley, dozens of guests were being authenticated by security personnel. Tan Xiu hardly knew these people, but some of their faces could be seen in the news programs of some TV stations.
"Hey, buddy. Can I borrow a lighter?"
When the two of them walked to the back of those people, a young man turned around to greet them. He looked to be about 23 or 24 years old and looked very handsome. The person who was with him just now was a middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s.
Tan Xiu took out a lighter and said with a smile, "Are you addicted to smoking again?"
The young man grinned and said, "It's not that I'm addicted to smoking. It's just that my grandpa has repeatedly told me to be polite and not to cause any trouble, which made me quite annoyed. In fact, if it weren't for my grandpa forcing me to come here, I really wouldn't want to come to such an occasion. "
"I don't like this kind of occasion either," Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing and said, "But I can't not come here today."
The young man nodded and handed over a cigarette, asking, "Where are you from, Brother? I'm Yueling, from Beihu Province's Wu City. My old man is the second eldest in Beihu Province. "
Beihu Province?
The second eldest?
Tan Xiu suddenly understood. He didn't light up the cigarette and said with a smile, "I'm Tan Xiu. I'm from Star City, so I'm also a local. Anyways, we'll go inside first. Let's talk later. "
Yueling stared blankly for a moment before he couldn't help laughing and said, "Dude, are you kidding me? My old man and I have been waiting here for several minutes. I think we'll have to wait a few more minutes to go inside. You came later than us, so how can you go inside ahead of us? Come on, let's smoke. We're all of the same age and have nothing to do anyway, so let's chat! "
Tan Xiu said with a smile, "I won't stop for long. Let's talk after we get inside."
Having said that.
He brought Tian Xiaomeng to the front of the people in charge of the security check. After nodding to them, they directly entered.
"Passed … passed? You didn't go through the security check? "
Yueling, who was at the back of the line, was stunned with an incredulous look on his face. One must know that this was the Tang Family! A super rich and powerful family in the Imperial Capital, yet this young man could directly enter with his female companion?
After Tan Xiu entered, he walked along another alley for tens of meters and saw Tang Wei standing listlessly outside the Tang Family's courtyard. Beside him was his First Uncle, Tang Yunpeng, and his Uncle, Tang Yunqing, who were greeting guests.
"You're back, Xiu?"
Tang Yunpeng greeted the guests as he saw Tan Xiu coming over and asked with a smile. However, there was a bit of curiosity in his eyes as he glanced at Tian Xiaomeng several times.
"First Uncle, I've dealt with everything, so I rushed back," Tan Xiu said with a smile. "Anyways, let me introduce you. This is a friend of mine, Tian Xiaomeng. Xiaomeng, this is my First Uncle and Uncle Yunqing. That brat over there is my Big Brother, Tang Wei. "
After Tian Xiaomeng saw Tang Yunpeng, a nervous look appeared on her face. She was horrified to find that she had seen Tang Yunpeng on the news more than once. This … this was a big shot of the country!
Tang Wei came over and was also spirited at this moment. He winked at Tan Xiu and said, "Tan Xiu, Wanying came here early in the morning and is now chatting with First Grandma!"
"I'll go in and see her later," Tan Xiu said with a smile. "I've been too busy recently and haven't seen her for a long time. First Uncle, Uncle Yunqing, I won't accompany you for now. "
"Go ahead!" Tang Yunpeng said with a smile. "There are quite a lot of guests today. Remember to come and greet them when you see your grandfather and Wanying."
"Alright!"
Tang Xiu complied and led the nervous Tian Xiaomeng into the courtyard house's entrance. Tang Wei, on the other hand, followed them with a curious expression.
"Is this your sister-in-law, Tan Xiu? How many wives do you have? "A smile hung on the corner of Tang Wei's mouth as his shifty eyes kept lingering on Tian Xiaomeng.
"Did you get beaten up recently, brat?" Tan Xiu scolded with a smile. "I heard you got into trouble again, right? Let me tell you, Tian Xiaomeng is my friend, not my girlfriend. Be careful if you talk nonsense again, or I'll teach you a lesson again. "
Tang Wei shrunk his neck and subconsciously touched his buttocks. He forced a smile and said, "It's true that good news doesn't go out, but bad news travels a thousand miles. Even a busy person like you knows about it. Alright, alright. I'm going to find Chu Yi and the others. "
Tan Xiu quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute. I have something to do later, so you take care of Xiaomeng! Remember, don't bully her. "
Tang Wei stared blankly for a moment before he immediately nodded and said, "Come with me, beauty! I'll introduce some friends to you later. "
Tian Xiaomeng nervously looked at Tan Xiu and said in a low voice, "I … can I be with you? I … I'm a bit scared. "
"Don't be afraid. This is my home, no one will dare to bully you." Tan Xiu said with a smile. "Besides, Tang Wei is a devil incarnate. With him taking care of you, no one will dare to bully you. I'll come to you after I'm done with my business. Soon. "
Tian Xiaomeng hesitated for a moment before she nodded silently.
