Chapter 522 Xiao Kangyu's Actions

Xiao Xiuyong filled everyone's glasses with wine and said to Xiao Kangyu with a smile, "These dishes were all made by Tang Shuo. -- --"

"Yeah?"

Xiao Kangyu glanced at Tang Shuo's face, picked up a bite of the braised pork in front of him, tasted it and said, "Fresh, fragrant and mellow, oily but not greasy, not bad."

"If you like it, eat more." Tang Shuo immediately said with a smile.

Xiao Ran snorted softly upon seeing this, and plowed through the rice in his bowl in a huff.

Based on her understanding of Tang Shuo, although he was a little erratic at times, he didn't seem like a powerful person at all, so how could he behave like this?

Could it be that the other party really has other thoughts because of her father?

Xiao Ran was right in his guess. Tang Shuo did have other ideas.

In fact, from the moment he saw Xiao Kangyu, Tang Shuo decided to confess what happened that night to Xiao Kangyu before any damage was done.

So at this time he was particularly concerned about Xiao Kangyu's attitude, hoping that the other party would not implicate himself if he got angry later.

Tang Shuo was the younger one at the table, so of course he had to be the one to make the toast.

After everyone toasted in turn, Tang Shuo fell silent and began to eat quietly.

Too much is as bad as too little.

Although Tang Shuo didn't understand Xiao Kangyu's character, he knew that he couldn't go too far, as it would be bad if it caused misunderstandings on the other side.

"Come here, Xiao Tang." Xiao Kangyu took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said to Tang Shuo, "This is your first time at my house. I'll toast you."

Tang Shuo hurriedly put down the chopsticks in his hand, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with the other party, then tilted his head back and drank the wine in the quilt in one gulp.

Xiao Xiuyong looked at Tang Shuo, whose expression didn't even change, and nodded, saying, "You really can drink quite well."

This was a 52% alcohol aged wine, something even Xiao Xiuyong wouldn't have dared to drink in his youth. The important thing was that Tang Shuo didn't show any abnormal behavior after drinking it.

…

Dinner went by very quickly, and Tang Shuo actually didn't drink much until the end.

Xiao Xiuyong couldn't drink too much due to health reasons, and he already had an understanding of Tang Shuo's situation during the day, so he didn't make things difficult for Tang Shuo. As for Xiao Kangyu, he would not lower himself to compete in drinking with Tang Shuo.

While clearing the dishes, Tang Shuo avoided Xiao Xiuyong and his son and said directly to Xiao Ran, "I'll go and confess what happened between us later. You can help me put in a good word then."

Xiao Ran, unhappy, asked directly: "What do you want to confess?"

"Frankly, I was hired by you!"

Tang Shuo replied, "I really can't help you with this. For Wanqi's sake, please let me live a few more years."

Even though Xiao Ran had secretly tricked him, Tang Shuo felt that he shouldn't go too far, so he decided to inform Xiao Ran in advance so that he could be mentally prepared.

well!

Or I'm just too soft-hearted.

"Is this why you tried to please my father just now?" Xiao Ran asked.

"What else?"

Tang Shuo responded: "Do you still think I want to be your son-in-law?"

Xiao Ran's doubts were finally resolved, and he felt much better. He reached out and patted Tang Shuo on the shoulder, saying, "You can't avoid this. Just accept the appointment."

"I'm going to go out and tell the truth now and tell your father that I was hired by you." Tang Shuo said firmly.

"If you dare to say it, I will tell my dad that you bullied me."

"You are slandering me!" Tang Shuo replied.

"How about slandering you?" Xiao Ran acted as if he had Tang Shuo in his hands and looked at him smugly.

Tang Shuo glared at Xiao Ran for a while. Finally, he said helplessly, "You're so cruel!"

After leaving the kitchen, Xiao Ran approached Xiao Kangyu and said, "Dad, didn't you always urge me to find a partner? What do you think of Tang Shuo?"

In fact, Xiao Ran didn't know at first that Xiao Kangyu would come over at night, but now that things have come to this, Xiao Ran feels that using Tang Shuo to block the gun is a good choice this time.

As for what will happen in the future, it’s not too late to talk about it when the time comes!

"Yeah." Xiao Kangyu nodded and said, "Where's Tang Shuo? I'll talk to him."

Xiao Ran turned his head to look at the kitchen and replied, "I'm packing up right now. I'll be out soon."

Xiao Kangyu shook his head at Xiao Ran, obviously helpless about Xiao Ran's attitude.

The last time, the father and daughter had a conflict because of Xiao Ran's profession, and in the end, it was only after he apologized that the other party forgave him. If there was anything that could make Xiao Kangyu feel embarrassed, it must be Xiao Ran.

"Right. Dad."

Xiao Ran said, "Tang Shuo's calligraphy is very good. It was once sold at auction for three million!"

"Yeah?"

Xiao Kangyu became interested, looked up at Xiao Ran and asked, "What's going on?"

He has a certain interest in calligraphy and has studied it for many years. He writes some when he has free time.

However, if his calligraphy were to be sold without a signature, few people would be willing to take it even for 300,000 yuan.

Xiao Ran had only heard Lu Wanqi mention the Tang Shuo calligraphy auction. He didn't know the details, so how could he explain it clearly? "Just ask him later."

As soon as Xiao Ran finished speaking, Tang Shuo came out of the kitchen after packing up his things.

"I heard from Xiaoran that one of your calligraphy pieces was sold for three million?" Xiao Kangyu asked directly.

Tang Shuo was startled, then glared at the talkative Xiao Ran and nodded, saying, "That was a charity dinner, it doesn't count."

"Charity dinner?"

Xiao Kangyu frowned, as if remembering something, and immediately asked, "What is your relationship with the Jiang family?"

Tang Shuo hesitated for a moment before answering, "My master and Mr. Jiang Hongtao are old friends. I'm very familiar with everyone in the Jiang family."

Not knowing why Xiao Kangyu suddenly asked this, Tang Shuo could only answer in a more cautious way.

If Xiao Ran hadn't warned him before, he might have directly told the other party that Jiang Tiantong was his fiancée, but now Tang Shuo had completely given up the idea.

After all, they are father and daughter. Even if the other party has doubts about Xiao Ran's words, she will definitely not side with him at that time, so Tang Shuo decided not to make trouble for himself.

But how did Xiao Kangyu connect him to the Jiang family through this incident?

Xiao Kangyu gave Tang Shuo a meaningful look, then said to Xiao Xiuyong beside him, "Dad, Tang Shuo and I are going to the study to talk and exchange some calligraphy ideas."

"You guys go ahead." Xiao Xiuyong nodded and said, "I'll talk to Xiaoran."

"Um."

Xiao Kangyu agreed, and then said to Tang Shuo, "Come with me."

Had I been discovered?

Tang Shuo looked at Xiao Ran, who was also confused, with doubt, then stood up and followed him towards the study.

The only thing that gave Tang Shuo some confidence was that Xiao Kangyu was obviously no match for him in terms of fighting strength, and he was able to protect himself if any problems arose.

Arriving at the study, Xiao Kangyu gestured for Tang Shuo to close the door, then pointed to a chair beside him and said, "Sit down."

Tang Shuo sat down as he was told, and then waited for the other party to ask questions.

Xiao Kangyu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Are you Tang Shuo, the man involved in Song Wenchang's death?"

If everything that happened today hadn't been so strange, Tang Shuo would have thought he was dreaming. It wasn't unusual for Xiao Kangyu to know about the Jiang family, but it was a bit strange that he knew about Song Wenchang's death.

"It's me." Tang Shuo agreed, then corrected, "But he committed suicide. It has nothing to do with me."

Xiao Kangyu nodded and then fell silent.

The other party didn't say anything, and Tang Shuo didn't dare to say anything at this time. The study became quiet in an instant.

After a while, Xiao Kangyu finally spoke up: "Tell me everything about you and the Song family."

Tang Shuo hesitated for a moment, but finally told the story from his acquaintance with Song Wenchang to the current situation where the Song family took action against the Jiang family's assets.

After listening to this, Xiao Kangyu thought for a while and said, "Tell Jiang Tiantong that I will go to Lanyu for research the day after tomorrow. Tell her to be prepared."

"this……"

Tang Shuo naturally knew what Xiao Kangyu's actions meant.

The other party's clear-cut move to attack Lan Yu must have been seen by the outside world as a disguised support for the Jiang family, and the Song family would be relatively restrained.

Tang Shuo didn't think he had the face to let Xiao Kangyu do this. This matter must be related to other things, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.
