On the phone, Tan Xiu and Chen Xiaowan agreed on the time and place to meet, and then hung up the phone. Recalling all the experiences he had with Chen Xiaowan, Tan Xiu felt a warm current surging in his heart.
Once.
Chen Xiaowan simply regarded him as her own younger brother, taking good care of him and protecting him. Their time together was always so relaxed and pleasant. He liked this big sister, and it had nothing to do with the feelings between a man and a woman. It was a kind of familial affection and recognition.
"If you're willing to go with me, then I'll take you with me. If you want to stay, I'll give you a guarantee for your future life. Because you're my big sister. "
Tan Xiu murmured inwardly as his eyes shifted to the window.
The surrounding high-rise buildings were constantly moving backward, and the bustling streets were bustling with people shuttling back and forth between the rows of shops, buying a dazzling array of goods. Tan Xiu suddenly felt that the ordinary life was getting farther and farther away from him. The once peaceful life was probably coming to an end.
"Gao Beilei, I want to ask you a question."
Tan Xiu didn't retract his gaze, but his voice was a bit strange.
"Go ahead, Boss," said Gao Beilei softly.
Tan Xiu asked, "Do you think people should live a wonderful life? Or a plain life for the rest of their lives? "
"Of course we should live a wonderful life," said Gao Beilei. "If we live a plain life for the rest of our lives, we may have regrets when we're old. However, this kind of thing can't be set in stone. Everyone has different ideas. Some people want to live a wonderful life, and some like to live a plain life. "
"…"
Tan Xiu was somewhat speechless. Gao Beilei's answer was so ambiguous that it was no different from not answering at all. However, he also knew that there was no single answer to this question. Everyone had their own thoughts and dreams. Everyone pursued different things, so their views were naturally different as well.
Suddenly …
Tan Xiu's eyes focused as he looked out of the window. He immediately said, "Stop the car on the side of the road."
The two cars stopped.
Tan Xiu didn't wait for his men to open the door and directly pushed it open. He looked across the street at Sujanin, who was holding an ice cream and holding a handsome man. Tan Xiu didn't expect to meet her here.
In fact …
Ever since he returned from the Immortal World, he had always been repulsed by the Su Family. Even though he didn't make a fuss about it, he still maintained a certain distance from them. Whether it was Su Shangwen, Sujanin, or Su Xiangfei, none of them paid much attention to them. However, although he had taught Su Xiangfei the cultivation method, he had allowed him to cultivate on his own. He had not provided any help in terms of cultivation resources.
"Gao Beilei, I met an acquaintance. You don't have to accompany me for lunch. I'll go to the Magnificent Tang Corp's HQ by myself in the afternoon, and we'll talk again there. "
After a brief hesitation, Gao Beilei asked, "Do you want me to leave a car for you?"
"No need." Tan Xiu shook his head.
Along with Gao Beilei's departure, Tan Xiu crossed the zebra crossing. When he stood in front of Sujanin and the handsome boy, he lightly smiled and said, "Beauty, handsome boy, can I have lunch with you?"
"Huh?"
The moment Sujanin saw Tan Xiu, it was as if she had seen a new continent. Her eyes were filled with disbelief. She directly let go of the handsome youth's hand and walked a few steps to the front of Tan Xiu. Then, she pinched Tan Xiu's face hard.
"Really."
Tan Xiu was both amused and angry at the same time. He swept her hand away and smilingly said.
"It's been three or four years. I thought you were dead!" Sujanin murmured. "You're still alive, so why haven't I seen you?"
The handsome youth's expression changed. He could keenly sense that the relationship between Sujanin and Tan Xiu was not simple. A hostile look appeared in his eyes. He strode forward and pulled Sujanin's arm. With a gloomy expression, he asked, "Who is he, Yaning?"
Tan Xiu could sense the hostility from the handsome youth. He faintly smiled and said, "Would you believe me if I said I'm her boyfriend?"
"Shut up! I'm Yaning's boyfriend!" The handsome youth angrily shouted.
Sujanin seemed to have just woken up from a dream. She looked at Tan Xiu's faintly smiling expression and immediately raised her hand to hit Tan Xiu's arm. She snappily said, "Can you not talk nonsense? Tsune Takeshi, let me introduce you. He's my cousin, the son of my aunt. Tan Xiu, this is Tsune Takeshi, my boyfriend. "
Tang Xiu let out a faint smile and stretched out his hand to the handsome young man, saying, "Cousin-in-law, my cousin is very outstanding. If you don't figure out the truth of the matter and recklessly get jealous, you'll definitely die of jealousy in the future."
Upon hearing Sujanin's introduction, Tsune Takeshi's hostility toward Tan Xiu disappeared without a trace. He awkwardly scratched his head and shook hands with Tan Xiu. Then, he apologetically said, "Hello, cousin. It was my fault just now. I was a bit narrow-minded. I'm Tsune Takeshi, the Sales Manager of Baolai Group. "
Tan Xiu noticed that Tsune Takeshi's face clearly showed a confident expression when he said the last sentence. He even seemed to want to deliberately prove his attitude.
"Tan Xiu."
Tan Xiu said his name with a smile and said, "Cousin, Cousin-In-Law, since we met here and it's almost lunchtime, how about we have lunch together?"
"Alright!"
Sujanin nodded without hesitation.
Tsune Takeshi also nodded to show his sincerity and smilingly said, "Tan Xiu, you don't look that old. You should still be studying, right? Are you studying at a university in Shanghai? I'll treat you to lunch today. I know a good restaurant nearby. "
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu nodded with a faint smile.
Sujanin, on the other hand, didn't think much about it. Even if Tan Xiu's identity was a bit scary, she had never told anyone about her relationship with Tan Xiu before, especially in front of her lover. She was afraid that the other party's attitude toward her would change because she was Tan Xiu's cousin.
At the Everlasting Feast Hall.
Tan Xiu followed Tsune Takeshi and Sujanin to the restaurant, which turned out to be the Everlasting Feast Hall's branch in Shanghai. A smile appeared on Tan Xiu's face when he saw the familiar plaque. It had been three or four years since he last came here to have a meal, right? He wondered who the current manager of the Everlasting Feast Hall was.
"Welcome."
After the trio entered the room, the two waitresses bowed and greeted them. At the same time, a waiter quickly walked over and smilingly said, "Excuse me, are there three of you?"
Tsune Takeshi maintained his elegant demeanor and smilingly said, "Yes, there are three of us."
"Please come inside."
The waiter was a new face, so he didn't know who Tan Xiu was. He led the trio inside and arranged seats for them. At this time, there were many guests in the restaurant's lobby on the first floor, but fortunately, there was an empty table near the window.
Tan Xiu looked around the restaurant and secretly sighed inwardly. It had been three or four years, and the place had changed. He only found two of the old employees here. The two of them were still greeting other guests and didn't notice him.
After taking a seat.
Tsune Takeshi took the menu and then handed it to Tan Xiu and smilingly said, "Cousin Tan Xiu, this is my first time seeing Yaning's family. Fortunately, I'm only a few years older than you, so we should have a lot of common topics to talk about. Order whatever you like. I'm ready to spend my hard-earned capital to curry favor with your future wife's family today. "
A trace of shyness appeared on Sujanin's face. She patted Tsune Takeshi's arm and let out a hollow laugh. "What the hell are you talking about? I haven't even promised to marry you yet. "
Looking at the shyness on Sujanin's face, Tan Xiu realized that his cousin might really like Tsune Takeshi. Therefore, he nodded with a smile and ordered the six best and most expensive signature dishes of the Everlasting Feast Hall. Then, he returned the menu to Tsune Takeshi and smilingly said, "I've ordered, Cousin-in-law. Do you want to add more?"
Tsune Takeshi could only force a wry smile inwardly. Each of the six signature dishes Tan Xiu had just ordered was expensive. Even if he didn't order more dishes, he would probably have to spend half a month's salary on today's meal.
Although he felt a bit pained, he still ordered two more dishes.
"You ordered too much. It'll be a waste if we can't finish it." Sujanin shook her head and smiled.
"It's fine. It's good as long as we're happy." Tan Xiu smiled.
Tsune Takeshi secretly rolled his eyes and was somewhat speechless.
It's good as long as you're happy?
It's good as long as you're happy. A meal for me will cost half a month's salary. Eight dishes, how could the three of them finish them? Most of them will definitely be wasted.
Just as Tsune Takeshi was looking at the waiter leave with a depressed expression, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eyes. His eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Yaning, Tan Xiu, I saw an acquaintance. Let's go greet him."
"Alright!"
Tan Xiu and Sujanin nodded.
As Tsune Takeshi left, Sujanin smilingly said, "Let's talk first. Don't take the initiative to reveal your identity. Also, today's meal is on you. "
Tan Xiu forced a smile and said, "Cousin, you haven't married yet, yet you're already protecting your man?"
Su Yaning rolled her eyes. She was both annoyed and amused as she said, "Who's protecting a man? This is your territory. Do you need money to eat?"
Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing.
Inside the hall.
Tsune Takeshi trotted toward the acquaintance and hurriedly stretched out his hand and smilingly said, "Chief Wang, I didn't expect to meet you here. Are you here for a meal? "
Chief Wang was a middle-aged man with a big belly and looked quite imposing. After seeing Tsune Takeshi, he just nodded and didn't even shake hands with him. He lightly said, "Yeah, I'm here for a meal. Manager Tsune, you're also here for a meal? The consumption level here isn't low! "
Although Tsune Takeshi was very disgusted with this Chief Wang, he was still his superior and the second-in-command of the company. Hence, he could only smile and say, "I'm treating my girlfriend's family to a meal, so I have to bear the pain even if the consumption is high, right? Chief Wang, is this your sister-in-law? She's really beautiful. How about you come to our table? It's my treat today. "
"Alright!"
Before Chief Wang could speak, the young girl beside him directly nodded and agreed. Tsune Takeshi didn't expect that she would agree so quickly. Even Chief Wang next to her had a rebuking look on his face.
