Tang Xiu hated Xue Qingcheng, and he also had a complicated feeling about Han Qingwu's identity. However, he didn't want Han Qingwu to die in the boxing ring of the underground market. Instead, he hoped that Han Qingwu could remember what happened in the Immortal World, so that the two of them could completely put an end to it.
"I'll go."
Tan Xiu replied with an expressionless face and then strode away. He didn't want to stay with Han Qingwu for long, lest his mind would recall the days he spent with Xue Qingcheng in the Immortal World from time to time. Those sweet days were now like a sharp knife cutting his heart, making him feel very painful.
A few minutes later …
Tan Xiu appeared in the Paradise Manor's dining building and randomly chose a window seat on the second floor. He took out a cigarette and lit it with a somewhat blank expression. He couldn't figure out why Han Qingwu wanted him to become stronger. Even if she was still brooding over what happened in Jingmen Island, she wouldn't go so far as to use the underground boxing arena to sharpen herself by hovering on the edge of life and death.
What exactly was the reason?
Tan Xiu was puzzled no matter how hard he thought about it, and his expression turned more solemn.
"What are you thinking about?"
A fragrant breeze blew over as Ouyang Lulu, dressed in a black leather coat with her flowing and soft black hair, came over. After taking a seat on the sofa opposite Tan Xiu, she smilingly asked.
Tan Xiu's brows loosened as he shook his head and said, "I'm just thinking about something. Ah, that's right. A friend will be coming over later. His name is Ji Mu. Tell him to bring him here if he comes. "
Ouyang Lulu nodded and took out her mobile to make a call. She then propped her chin and looked at Tan Xiu, saying, "Tan Xiu, I want you to teach me how to cultivate. You can't favor one and discriminate against the other."
Tan Xiu slightly furrowed his brows and asked, "It's not a problem for me to teach you how to cultivate, but why did you say that I'm favoring one and discriminating against the other?"
"Ever since I met that vampire, Shanjenna, I realized that you know how to cultivate," said Ouyang Lulu. "Not only you, but also Gu Xiaoxue. So, I called Kang Xia. "
"Why did you call Kang Xia?" Tang Xiu stared blankly and asked with a confused expression.
Ouyang Lulu snorted and said, "Do you think I'm stupid? Other women have an unclear relationship with you, so I don't dare to have any confidence, but I have absolute confidence in Kang Xia. Because if it weren't for her unswerving loyalty to you, would she have gone all out to manage the Magnificent Tang Corporation? I even learned that you don't manage the Magnificent Tang Corporation's business at all. Kang Xia is in charge of the overall situation. "
Tan Xiu knew that Ouyang Lulu was smart, but he didn't expect her to be this scheming. She called Kang Xia with the intention of luring her. Otherwise, with Kang Xia's intelligence, it would be impossible for her to get the information out of her so easily.
He didn't really understand a woman's thoughts.
But he faintly felt the trouble of having too many women. Even if he had not eaten pork, he had seen pigs run. In ancient times, the emperor had three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines. The palace fights of every dynasty and every generation were extremely exciting. Didn't those who had three wives and four concubines often have their own backyard in trouble?
Ouyang Lulu looked at the silent Tan Xiu. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she quickly said, "Dear, I don't have any intention to complain about you. I won't fight with Kang Xia for any status. As long as you care about me and can think of other women, it's enough for you to think of me. For example, cultivation … "
Although she said so.
Ouyang Lulu's hand under the table was clenched. She knew that Kang Xia should have a very heavy weight in Tan Xiu's heart. Just helping Tan Xiu manage his business empire was something she couldn't compare with. However, she firmly believed that dripping water could penetrate a stone. Even if Tan Xiu's heart was frozen, she could use her love to warm it and brand it on Tan Xiu's heart.
Tan Xiu slowly raised his head and said, "I'll stay here tonight."
Ouyang Lulu's eyes lit up and she immediately nodded with a happy expression. She understood the meaning behind Tan Xiu's words and was also aware of the change in Tan Xiu's attitude.
In the past …
Tan Xiu was very repulsive to her. Even if the two of them had sex a few days ago, she was the one who goaded him. But ever since those two days, Tan Xiu had never touched her again. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel a sense of loss inside. But she also had a reserved side of a woman. She couldn't keep goading him or pestering him.
Sure enough, his heart is very soft. If I act too strong, I'll make the chicken fly and the eggs hit, and the loss outweighs the gain. If you want to win a man's heart, you have to use a roundabout way to make him open his heart little by little. Only through continuous deepening of feelings, in the future, you will make him completely accept you and can't leave you. "Ouyang Lulu's smile was exceptionally brilliant, her big eyes turned into a crescent moon shape.
On a road near the Paradise Manor, a Maserati was roaring as it quickly rushed toward the manor. After Ji Mu learned from Chi Nan that Tan Xiu was willing to see him, his whole heart was immersed in a pleasantly surprised mood.
In these two days …
Even in his dreams, he couldn't forget the scene he saw in Mount Lao that night. He couldn't forget Tan Xiu's immortal-like means. Of course, he also saw the ruthless side of Tan Xiu, who finally ordered his men to kill those six monsters. Although he was a bit apprehensive inside, the ruthlessness in his bones made him decide to take a gamble.
He wanted to be strong.
He wanted to have a terrifying force like Tan Xiu. Even if he could only get the flying method, he was willing to take the risk and try it. Therefore, he had done a lot of homework when he came to Shanghai this time. He had brought a very generous gift. Just the two stalks of thousand-year-old wild ginseng alone cost him hundreds of millions of yuan to buy from a good friend's grandfather.
Soon …
Ji Mu parked his car in the parking lot of the Paradise Manor. Before he got off, a middle-aged man came over and knocked on the window.
"You are?"
Asked Ji Mu, puzzled.
"Are you Mr. Ji Mu?" asked the middle-aged man.
"Yes, I am," answered Ji Mu.
"Hello, Mr. Ji. Our Boss asked me to wait for you here. He said that he would immediately take you to see him after you arrived," said the middle-aged man.
"Is your Boss Tan Xiu?" asked Ji Mu.
The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Tang should be our Boss since he's our Boss's man."
"Who is your Boss?" asked Ji Mu curiously.
"My Boss's surname is Ouyang. He's from Jingmen Island," said the middle-aged man.
Ji Mu knew that there was a Ouyang Family in Jingmen Island. He had even seen the young lady of the Ouyang Family a few times. Although they didn't have any interaction, the image of the young lady of the Ouyang Family was still fresh in his mind.
Suddenly …
His expression moved as he looked at the middle-aged man and asked, "Is your Boss Ouyang Lulu?"
The middle-aged man said with a smile, "Mr. Ji, you're right. Our Boss is indeed Ouyang Lulu. Do you know our Boss? "
An inexplicable feeling rose inside Ji Mu's heart. Ouyang Lulu was a stunning beauty who could almost be compared with Zhang Xinya, the woman he considered to be the most beautiful woman in his life. Never did he expect that she turned out to be Tan Xiu's woman. However, recalling Tan Xiu's identity, he immediately felt relieved. For a terrifying existence like Tan Xiu, perhaps only a beauty like Ouyang Lulu could be worthy of him, right?
"I've seen her a few times."
Ji Mu replied perfunctorily. He then took out the prepared gifts from the trunk and followed the middle-aged man to the dining building. When he saw Tan Xiu and Ouyang Lulu sitting by the window and chatting, he immediately quickened his pace. With a cautious smile on his face, he said, "Brother Tang, sister-in-law, I'm not disturbing you, am I?"
Brother Tang?
Sister-in-law?
Tan Xiu was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh upon hearing the way Ji Mu addressed him. He had only met Ji Mu once. Since when did they become familiar with each other? On the contrary, the word "sister-in-law" was like honey pouring into Ouyang Lulu's heart. She secretly praised Ji Mu. After quickly getting up, she stood at the table and smilingly said, "Ji Mu, I never thought that the friend Tan Xiu mentioned would turn out to be you. It seems that my man is really outstanding. He even has a friendship with the Young Master of the Ji Family in Changxi City. Alright, you can continue your business! I'll tell the kitchen to prepare some good food and wine for you. "
After watching Ouyang Lulu leave, Tan Xiu gestured to Ji Mu to sit across him and smilingly asked, "Brother Ji Mu, what kind of play are you playing?
Ji Mu pushed the four gift boxes tied with colored ropes and smilingly said, "It's been a long time since we parted ways in Mount Lao last year. But I can still vividly remember Brother Tang's elegant demeanor at that time! Well, I just got a bit free recently, so I came to Shanghai to visit you, Brother Tang. "
"This is?"
Tan Xiu pointed to the four gift boxes.
"I got some trinkets recently. Since I came to visit you, I must bring some gifts, no?" Ji Mu smilingly said. "I hope Brother Tang doesn't dislike them!"
Tan Xiu squinted his eyes and deeply observed Ji Mu. Ji Mu's sudden visit and the gifts he prepared made Tan Xiu realize the deep meaning behind it. After a moment of silence, he slowly asked, "Ji Mu, is there anything I can help you with?"
Ji Mu stared blankly for a moment before he immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no. I really just want to visit you because I admire your ability, Brother Tang. There are only a few people who can make me admire these days, so I came here to get closer to you and get along well with you. "
"Your way of making friends is quite novel, huh?" Tan Xiu couldn't help laughing. "Alright, I'll accept your gift regardless of whether you have any other purpose. If you're not in a hurry to go back tonight, then stay here for a night! "
"Deal!"
Ji Mu was delighted inwardly.
Ring, ring, ring …
The mobile phone in Tan Xiu's pocket suddenly rang. When he took it out and saw the caller ID, a strange expression immediately appeared on his face. After giving it a thought, he didn't hide it from Ji Mu. He picked up the phone and smilingly said, "Shaoyang, how come you suddenly remembered to call me?"
Qin Shaoyang's voice came out of the phone, "Brother Tang, I've arrived in Shanghai now. Do you think it's convenient for us to have a meal together? I … I have something I want to talk to you about. "
Tan Xiu and Qin Shaoyang had business cooperation, so he naturally wouldn't refuse. He covered the phone and looked at Ji Mu, saying, "A friend of mine in the Imperial Capital said he wants to meet me to talk about something. How about I call him over and have a drink together?"
