"I've been through too much," Mei Yingxue said. His expression was calm, his voice was calm, and he didn't sound like he was showing off.
He was just stating a fact, a fact that made people want to beat him up.
Of course, Fang Yan wouldn't do that. Because what Mei Yingxue said was exactly what he was thinking.
Fang Yan had been through too much.
Ever since he experienced Qin Yitian, Jiang Qin, and Yuan Lin's ferocious, direct, or shy pursuit, Fang Yan had become accustomed to these young girls' love. No matter how hot they were, how could they be hotter than Qin Yitian? No matter how pure and sour they were, how could they be hotter than Yuan Lin?
When Su Qi appeared, Fang Yan first looked on coldly from the sidelines, but then he repeatedly rejected and refused — —
Being liked by a young girl, wasn't that the charm of a charismatic uncle? It was as natural as an adult needing to eat and a baby needing to drink milk.
Mei Yingxue made an inviting gesture, and Fang Yan followed him to the grape trellis in the backyard.
There was a stone table under the grape trellis, and there were several stone chairs around the table.
Mei Yingxue took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket and carefully wiped the surface of one of the stone chairs. When he was about to sit on it, Fang Yan snatched it from him and said with a smile, "Thank you. Young Master Mei is a very particular person. No wonder there's the word 'Xue' in his name. He loves to be clean. "
Mei Yingxue smiled and didn't care. He walked to the opposite side and wiped another stone chair.
After wiping it clean, he lifted the back of his suit and slowly sat down. This way, he wouldn't have his butt press against the suit and wrinkle it.
Mei Yingxue waved his hand, and the waiter in black who was standing at the door ran over.
"Send a dozen beers over," Mei Yingxue ordered.
"Yes, sir," the waiter replied and turned to leave.
Mei Yingxue looked at Fang Yan and said, "Today, I want to drink a few bottles with Mr. Fang."
Fang Yan looked at Mei Yingxue and said with a smile, "I thought a gentleman like you would like to drink red wine or liquor."
"I like the malt aroma of beer," Mei Yingxue said with a smile. "One of my favorite things is to sit under an overpass and drink beer — holding a dozen bottles of beer and sitting by the side of the road, admiring the expressions of every passerby. They were happy, or sad, or tired, or trying to smile — I was glad of their little joys, and sad of their little sorrows. When they were tired, I would feel tired. When they were happy, I would also smile. Every time I see someone, it's like I've lived with them for a second time. "
Seeing that Fang Yan was staring at him, Mei Yingxue once again showed his signature charming smile and said, "Under the bridge, drinking beer is the most appropriate. White wine is too tragic, like a poor beggar or a loser. The red wine was too exquisite and out of place with its surroundings. I like to be part of life. "
"You are a philosopher," Fang Yan said.
"No, I am a person who enjoys life," Mei Yingxue corrected. "Some people want to live, some want to live, and some want to live. But I am enjoying life — what is the most precious thing to a person? Naturally, it is their unique life. Some people use it to start a business, some use it to kill and burn, some use it to achieve great fame — I use it to enjoy everything that happens to me. When I see you, I also feel happy. Because there's a new person in my life, there's a new set of memories. "
Fang Yan squinted his eyes and smiled, saying, "I was wrong. You are not a philosopher, you are a literary youth. "
"Success or failure is up to others to judge," Mei Yingxue said with an indifferent expression, "There are always people who call me a monster."
"I think so too," Fang Yan said. "There are also people who call me a bitch, but I have never explained anything to them."
"That's not objective," Mei Yingxue said.
"That's slander."
The waiter brought the beer. Fang Yan and Mei Yingxue each grabbed a bottle and opened it.
Mei Yingxue raised her glass and said, "A toast to the bitch."
"A toast to the monster," Fang Yan said.
The two beer bottles collided with each other, producing a clear and melodious sound.
Mei Yingxue tilted her head back to drink. Fang Yan also tilted his head back to drink.
Mei Yingxue drank elegantly, while Fang Yan drank unrestrainedly.
The two of them finished a can of beer in one go, then looked at each other and laughed.
Mei Yingxue looked at Fang Yan and said, "There are too many idiots in this world. Don't you think it's boring? "
"Idiots don't think they're idiots," Fang Yan said.
"We don't think we're idiots either — are we also idiots?"
"I don't know if we're idiots or not, but I will never agree to anyone who wants to take advantage of me."
"That's why I said you're not an idiot." Mei Yingxue sighed softly and said, "The Mei family did something stupid."
"At that time, the Mei family wouldn't think of themselves as idiots," Fang Yan said. "Who wouldn't want to take a bite of such a big piece of meat? If there's someone behind it, I don't think anyone would be able to resist the temptation. "
Mei Yingxue looked at Fang Yan and said, "Chen Xueer is a member of the Mei family. Countless people are envious of other people's glory of starting from scratch, but they don't know that every single person who starts from scratch has the support of capital. Chen Xueer was originally an insignificant labor contractor in Ming Zhu City, but my father took a liking to him and invested in him. That's how he got his current position as a real estate tyrant — "
Fang Yan nodded and said, "Chen Xueer jumped out to help Jiang Zhuliu overturn the case and wanted to buy a portion of Jiang Zhuliu's shares in Longtu Group. If he didn't have someone powerful backing him, it wouldn't be realistic. The biggest characteristic of people who have been struggling at the bottom for many years is that they know their limits — they know how much they are worth, and they know whether their strength can support their ambitions. "
Fang Yan opened another can of beer for himself and drank a mouthful. He smiled and said, "Huacheng isn't small, but after knowing who Fang Yan is, there aren't many who have the guts to stand up against me — Old Master Lan transferred his shares to Lan Shan Valley. It's considered another form of compromise. The Liu family won't do it, and Liu Shu is also a beneficiary of the Jiang family's rise in power. The Ren family has some power, but they aren't arrogant enough to jump out and wrestle with the Lan and Liu families that are tied to them. After thinking about it, the Mei family can't run away — the Mei family doesn't show themselves, and the Mei family is also unusually low-key, almost never appearing in public. But, how can there be a wolf that doesn't eat meat? "
"I only found out about this later," Mei Yingxue said. "I told Old Master Lan that this matter was too meaningless. Old Master Lan now agrees with my point of view. "
Fang Yan smiled and said, "When you gave Su Qi the gift, you said something — some things are broken, they can't be put back together again."
Mei Yingxue smiled bitterly and said, "Although it's the first time we met, your name is like thunder in my ears. Everyone who has interacted with you said that you're not a person who is easy to deal with — "
"Now that you've interacted with me, you know that they're not telling the truth, right?"
"What can I do to make you stop?" Mei Yingxue asked in a low voice.
Fang Yan stared at him with a burning gaze and said, "Make me satisfied. Or rather, make me satisfied. "
"We'll withdraw from the competition with Longtu Group —"
Fang Yan sneered and said, "If you're not afraid of getting hurt, then you can continue to persist. But, it's best if the Mei family takes action personally. These small fries won't even be enough for Lan Shan Valley to warm up before it's over. "
"And we won't meddle with the Jiang family's affairs anymore." Mei Yingxue said. "I've roughly understood the reason why the Jiang family is stepping down. It's because of Kiang Long Tan's disappearance — I don't believe that Jiang Zhuliu killed his own father. I think, there must be some hidden reasons? The Mei family has a good relationship with the government and the media, if we want to create some trouble for you, it should be enough to give you a headache, right? "
Fang Yan nodded and said, "Yes. We do have a headache. "
"Plus, the Mei family's friendship." Mei Yingxue's charming eyes stared at Fang Yan without blinking and said, "Is it enough for you to let the Chen father and son go?"
Fang Yan looked at Mei Yingxue and asked, "Do you have any friends?"
"What?" Mei Yingxue was stunned.
"I mean, do you have any good friends who can go through thick and thin with you?" Fang Yan asked again.
Mei Yingxue thought for a moment and said, "No."
"I do," Fang Yan said. "And, I have quite a few. Aren't I luckier than others? "
"Luckier than others," Mei Yingxue said enviously. "Countless times luckier."
"I believe in friendship —" Fang Yan said. "But I don't believe in friendship that has been promised — because friendship cannot be promised."
"So, you're going to refuse?" Mei Yingxue asked with a smile. She played with the beer can in her hand.
"No, if I refused — — after I guessed that it was your treat, I wouldn't have come," Fang Yan said.
Mei Yingxue's body leaned back, and after thinking for a while, she sighed softly and said, "To be honest, I really don't want you to name your price — — because I know that you will definitely cut a vital part. But I also know that I have no choice but to let you name your price — — for grandpa to send me out to do this kind of thing is really boring. "
"So, are you ready?" Fang Yan asked.
"Tell me your price," Mei Yingxue said. "I hope it's within the range that we can accept. Otherwise, the Mei family won't hesitate to go to war with you — — this is what my grandpa said, I'm just passing on his words. "
Fang Yan nodded and said, "Grandpa Mei has always been a respected elder, since he said this, I have to give him face — — my price isn't too high, how about half of Tiandu Real Estate's shares?"
