Lu Li and Qiao Liang had an appointment at a western restaurant in the Pearl Hotel. When Tang Xi and Qiao Liang arrived, Lu Li was already there. When Tang Xi entered the restaurant, he stood up with a smile and pulled out a chair for her to sit on. "I'm sorry. I'm so busy."
Tang Xi sat down with a smile. "It's me and Qiao Liang's fault. Brother Lu, it's rare for you to come to City A. We should treat you to dinner, but now you have to treat us to dinner."
Lu Li's eyes had a gleam of surprise when he heard Tang Xi automatically regarded him and Qiao Liang as a family. He looked up at Qiao Liang who looked happy and smiled. "Then let's skip the formalities. You can order the dishes. I don't know what you like to eat, so … I don't think it's appropriate for me to order dishes." With that, he handed the menu to Tang Xi. "I think we should eat Chinese food when we eat together. Only in this way can we enjoy the atmosphere. What do you think?"
Tang Xi didn't object. She nodded with a smile. "Yes, and there are many flavors of Chinese food. Western food is boring." Then she handed the menu to Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang took the menu from her and began to swipe on the menu. Soon, he had selected a lot of dishes. Lu Li took the menu from him …
It had been quite a while. Lu Li looked up at Qiao Liang with a twitch of the corner of his eyes. "None of the dishes I like?"
Qiao Liang looked at him with a straight face. "Didn't you invite us to dinner?"
Lu Li took a look at Qiao Liang and frowned. "Spicy crayfish? When did you start to eat spicy food? Don't you have a bad stomach? Every time you eat spicy food, you … "Receiving Qiao Liang's murderous look, Lu Li shut up and pursed his lips to smile at Tang Xi." I like spicy crayfish. My darling likes spicy food, but he didn't allow us to order spicy food at the table. I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time. "
Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and the latter rubbed at her hair and said softly, "Don't listen to him."
Tang Xi scowled. In her memory, every time they went on a date, Qiao Liang would buy her shrimp in scallion sauce, spicy crayfish, flavored shrimp and so on, and she would ask Qiao Liang to eat with her every time. At that time, she would proudly ask Qiao Liang if they were delicious, but he would curl his lips in disdain and say they were not delicious, but when he saw she was angry, he would change his words and say they were actually delicious …
But after so many years, she had been used to Qiao Liang taking care of her taste buds, but now Qiao Liang told her that Qiao Liang couldn't eat spicy food at all, because every time he ate spicy food, it would kill him.
Lu Li also noticed Tang Xi's look, so he hurriedly said, "I'm just kidding. Rourou, don't take it too seriously. This guy used to … Forget it. I think when two people are together, they should tell each other everything about themselves. Qiao Liang, you have a bad stomach. You can't eat spicy food since you were a child, and you've been drinking a lot these years, so your stomach is even worse. I think you should tell Rourou. It's better than catching her off guard when you suddenly get sick."
"Lu Li!" Qiao Liang stared coldly at Lu Li.
"Qiao Liang!" Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and asked coldly, "Am I really a woman who can't go through thick and thin with you? Do you really think I won't stay with you when you're sick?! Am I really that kind of woman in your eyes?! "
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and was about to speak, when Tang Xi suddenly lunged to her feet and said coldly, "No matter five years ago or now, am I that kind of woman who can't take a blow?! Am I that kind of woman who will leave you after knowing you're sick?! Am I? "
"No." Qiao Liang grabbed Tang Xi's hand. "I just don't want you to worry about me, nor do I want you to feel guilty … What I don't want is for you to suppress yourself. I like to see you eat happily, and I like the feeling of eating with you …"
"But it's all based on hurting your health!" Tang Xi stared coldly at Qiao Liang. "I don't want to hurt your daughter like that. I just want you to be healthy!"
"Okay, I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything." Qiao Liang gazed deeply at Tang Xi. "I can tell you what I can eat and what I can't eat. Sit down."
Tang Xi closed her eyes and turned to look at Lu Li who was sitting awkwardly on the side because of her words. She smiled and said, "Brother Lu, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might have become a chronic killer. I don't know how to regret it. Thank you for telling me about Qiao Liang's physical condition."
Lu Li smiled. "You're welcome. As long as you're good to Qiao Liang, I'll rest assured."
Tang Xi smiled and nodded. The waiter took the menu and left.
During this period, Qiao Liang and Lu Li were talking about business, while Tang Xi was playing a mobile game that was very popular recently. Qiao Liang took a look at Tang Xi's cell phone only to see she had killed another person. He turned up the corners of his mouth and looked at Lu Li. "As long as the funds are in place, those companies won't have any chance to struggle."
"It'll take at least three days for the funds to be in place. Although I came here this time, we don't have a branch in China, so the funds will be much slower. If we directly transfer the funds to the Qiao's International Group's account, the FBI will inevitably suspect the Qiao's International Group. If they fail to find us, the Qiao's International Group will be dragged down with them. The gain is not worth the loss. "
Qiao Liang nodded. "Don't worry. Now those two people are in prison. The younger one will be sentenced next week. We can take our time to deal with the older one. He has only paid back one percent of the pain he caused my mother. Don't worry."
Lu Li looked at Qiao Liang's heartless words, sighed, took out a document and handed it to Qiao Liang. "I found this today. This company has a big problem. Are you sure you want to cooperate with them?"
Tang Xi saw the name of the Liu's Group on the document and frowned. "What happened to the Liu's Group?"
"The vice president of the Liu's Group has hollowed out the Liu's Group. Now the Liu's Group is on the verge of collapse, but few people know about this problem. Now only the president of the Liu's Group, Liu Chengyu, knows about this problem, but I guess he will collapse soon. After all, it's a problem involving billions of funds, not tens of millions … No matter how capable the president of the Liu's Group is, he can't fill up this hole without telling anyone."
Tang Xi frowned. "Is the vice president still in China?"
"If only he were in China." Lu Li smiled and raised his eyebrows. "But if Ah Liang gets the funds in place and cooperates with the Liu's Group, the Liu's Group may have a chance to be saved."
