The moonlight was hazy, and the warm air was blowing to its heart's content. It was the season of spring and flowers were blooming, and the entire Qinglin County was filled with a faint fragrance. Several sparrows flew outside the window as if they wanted to race the SUV that was moving slowly on the road.
"Awu, what do you think of Wang Tao?"
Tan Xiu, who was sitting in the back seat, held a cigarette between his fingers and wore a faint smile on his handsome face. His eyes were looking out of the car, but the focus was not obvious.
"He's very shrewd and very eloquent," said Mo Awu while driving. "He tried to restrain his personality when we met him, but the pride and arrogance of a second-generation nouveau riche can still be occasionally expressed in his speech and behavior. Unless he can experience a great tribulation, his achievements in this life will be limited. "
"It's a common problem among the second generation of the rich. It's good to have a unique personality, but if they're too ostentatious and domineering, then they'll need a great tribulation to temper themselves, else they'll attract a lot of trouble because of their arrogance. Anyways, let's not talk about him. Stop and buy some cigarettes if you pass by a tobacco and alcohol store on the way back. "
"Alright."
Mo Awu replied.
Seven minutes later, the SUV was parked in front of a tobacco and alcohol store. Four rough-looking youths in gaudy clothes were playing cards in front of the store. After Tan Xiu walked inside with Mo Awu, he found that there was no one inside and immediately shouted, "Who's the Boss? I want to buy some cigarettes!"
"Take it from the counter and send the money here later."
A yellow-haired youth playing cards around the table at the entrance replied loudly, his eyes never leaving the cards.
Tan Xiu secretly shook his head. How was this a business? It was simply not a proper occupation. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke again, "The quantity I want is a bit much. You'd better come inside."
The yellow-haired youth frowned and looked at the store. He reluctantly took the cards in his hand and staggered back to the store, asking, "How much is a bit much? What kind of cigarettes do you want to buy? "
"Just take the Soft Chunghwa," said Tan Xiu. "I want as many as you have in your store."
Soft China?
The yellow-haired youth revealed a smile and sized up Tan Xiu a few times. Then, he clicked his tongue and sighed, "Bro, you're quite extravagant! But I have dozens of Soft Chunghwa in stock, do you really want all of them? "
"Yes."
Tan Xiu nodded.
The yellow-haired youth chuckled and said, "Alright, wait a moment."
A few minutes later.
Tan Xiu and Mo Awu left the tobacco and alcohol store with dozens of soft Chunghwa in their arms. They threw all of them into the back seat and quickly left.
The yellow-haired youth swaggered out of the shop and watched the off-road vehicle leave. Then, he returned to the table and said with a smile, "I've met a rich man today. He didn't even talk about the price and directly bought all my Soft Chunghwa."
A young man with a green snake tattoo on his neck curled his lips and snorted, "Bullsh * t, it's just a few dozen Soft Chunghwa. This young master can buy hundreds of Soft Chunghwa with just a casual stroll around the tomb. Cut the crap and let's play cards. "
A strange glint flashed in the yellow-haired youth's eyes as he grinned and said, "Big Brother Huzi, take us with you when you go to the tomb again! We also want to follow you to broaden our horizons. "
The tattooed youth rolled his eyes and snorted, "Aren't you afraid that the Zongzi will tear you apart? Aren't you afraid that the Yin souls will take over your bodies and swallow your Yang Qi? "
The yellow-haired youth shrunk his neck and immediately let out a hollow laugh. "Well, we have you, Big Brother Huzi!"
The tattooed youth smiled proudly and said slowly, "Since you want to follow me to broaden your horizons, it's not impossible. However, let's make this clear first. If you encounter any danger at the bottom of the graveyard, it has nothing to do with me. Each of you can only get 10% of the treasures. "
"Alright."
"No problem!"
"You're so generous, Big Brother Huzi!"
The three youths immediately looked happy and happily promised.
At the Senbao 5-star Hotel.
After the off-road vehicle stopped at the hotel's entrance, Tan Xiu looked at Mo Awu and said, "Do you still remember the place where we just bought cigarettes? Go back there and beat that guy with a tattoo on his neck. Remember to break one of his legs and make him spend the next few months in bed. "
"Understood!"
Despite the confusion in his heart, he still respectfully replied.
"Also, do remember to tell him not to deal with the dead anymore, let alone enter the tombs. Else, it won't just be his lifespan that will be lost, but his family will be implicated as well. They will either get sick or become disabled, or die." Tang Xiu added once more.
"You told me to break one of his legs, Boss … is it to save him?" Mo Awu was surprised.
"Yes, it's to save him," said Tan Xiu. "Else, if we let him continue to enter the tomb, the Death Qi on his body will get more and more. He will die in the tomb within two months at most."
After saying that …
Tan Xiu got off the car alone and entered the Senbao 5-star Hotel. However, he recalled that Zhang Xinya was waiting for him in the hotel and felt a bit helpless inside.
Sometimes, Tan Xiu couldn't bear such heavy feelings. He couldn't give her a future, nor could he have a special affection for her. Instead of making her sad and painful in the future, it was better to sever the relationship with her earlier. Therefore, he secretly made up his mind when he received Zhang Xinya's call.
This time …
No matter how sad and painful Zhang Xinya was, he must make it clear to her and completely sever this ill-fated relationship.
Inside the presidential suite No. 1208, Zhang Xinya was leaning on the sofa drowsily, while Zhang Xiaoyu was playing with her mobile phone in high spirits. Long Zhenglin was nowhere to be seen, and only a snoring sound could be heard coming from the next room.
Ding, dong …
The doorbell rang and Jin Shi quickly opened the door. After seeing Tan Xiu standing outside, he quickly said, "Miss Zhang is still waiting for you, Boss."
Tan Xiu nodded in response. After entering the room, he looked at Zhang Xinya, who immediately became spirited, and Zhang Xiaoyu, who hurriedly put away her mobile phone. He then nodded and said, "It's already so late, yet you haven't gone back to rest yet? We can talk about it tomorrow if we have time. "
Zhang Xinya strode to greet Tan Xiu. She shook her head and said, "I'm not tired. I just wanted to see you earlier. I talked with Long Zhenglin before and learned that you came to Qinglin County to buy a very important medicinal herb, is that correct? "
"I do want to buy a medicinal herb, but I didn't expect that you would come here." Tan Xiu nodded. When I came in just now, I saw two suspicious people nearby. Are they your bodyguards? "
"The company did hire two bodyguards for me, and they are always nearby," said Zhang Xinya. "They won't appear unless I'm in danger."
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "It's getting late. Since we've already met, go back and rest early! We'll talk about it tomorrow. "
"..."
Zhang Xinya's eyes turned dark. Tan Xiu's order to leave made her feel a bit uncomfortable. Although Tan Xiu didn't conceal his whereabouts from her in the previous phone call, which made her feel that Tan Xiu no longer rejected her. But now, Tan Xiu's attitude made her feel even more repulsed.
She didn't leave, but stared at Tan Xiu and asked, "Don't tell me you don't want to see me that much?"
"It's not that I don't like to see you, but I don't want to see you," said Tan Xiu. "You're a well-known superstar, and the man who appears in front of you is bound to be noticed by others and will cause misunderstandings. Besides, I already have a girlfriend, and we're going to get married in the future, so I don't want her to misunderstand me. "
In an instant.
Zhang Xinya felt a stabbing pain in her heart. She didn't care about being misunderstood by others, but looking at the indifferent expression on Tan Xiu's face, she wanted to tell him that she really liked him and didn't care even if he had a girlfriend.
However, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
She didn't care about it, but Tan Xiu did.
She really didn't have the face to speak out her thoughts under such circumstances.
Zhang Xiaoyu, who stood at the side, looked at Zhang Xinya, who had a painful expression on her face and tears in her eyes. She immediately strode a few steps forward and loudly said, "Mr. Tang, I know my sister likes you even though this is the first time we meet. Why do you have to hurt her heart? Do you know that she always talks about you and often stares at your photos in a daze? Even the photos on her mobile screen are all of you! "
"SHUT UP!"
Although Tan Xiu felt apologetic inside, he still hardened his heart and snapped at the moment, "I'm talking to Zhang Xinya. You're not qualified to interrupt."
"I'm not qualified, but I feel sorry for my sister," said Zhang Xiaoyu angrily. "You're too cruel, aren't you? My sister has been waiting for you here for five or six hours, yet you just came back and you want to drive her away? You're too heartless! "
"Hmph!" Tan Xiu snorted coldly. "You can't judge whether I'm heartless or not. Get out of my room at once, else don't blame me for throwing you out. "
"You …"
Zhang Xiaoyu was about to speak but was stopped by Zhang Xinya.
As tears flowed out of her eyes, Zhang Xinya quickly raised her hand to wipe them. She stared deeply at Tan Xiu and even raised her hand to gently wipe the dust on Tan Xiu's left shoulder. Then, she softly said, "Let's go back and rest if you're tired. You can rest assured that I won't bring you any trouble. You may not want to accept me, but I'll be satisfied as long as I can look at you from afar. "
After saying that …
She then turned around and walked toward the door with a heartache.
Tan Xiu looked at her back and sighed inwardly. He didn't want to hurt Zhang Xinya's heart, but he had to do it now. Just like what her younger sister, Zhang Xinyue, said, since he couldn't give her happiness, why should he delay her? Maybe she would meet a better man who would love her more in the future.
As the two women left, the door of the next room was opened. Although Long Zhenglin still looked a bit sleepy, his eyes were still full of disbelief when he looked at Tan Xiu.
"You … aren't you going too far?"
"I think it's good for you to be a bystander," said Tan Xiu lightly.
