"Su Yan, why are you calling him 'senior brother'? Aren't they both your brothers?" Chen Ting asked, puzzled.

Su Yan smiled and said, "I have a master, and the one driving is my senior brother, so he can be considered half an older brother to me, right? The one in the passenger seat is my biological elder brother."

"Become an apprentice?" Deng Ziyi asked curiously, "What kind of apprentice do you want to become?"

"Traditional Chinese medicine, because my major is a combination of Chinese and Western medicine."

"oh……."

Deng Ziyi immediately lost interest.

She wasn't interested in traditional Chinese medicine, finding it too old-fashioned; she preferred more modern things.

Bai Meng glanced at Su Yan a couple more times after hearing this, but didn't say anything.

This roommate didn't say a word except for stating his name; he was truly aloof.

Su Yan, of course, didn't think much of it.

Everyone has a different personality, and not liking to talk doesn't mean anything.

Worried that Su Yan would feel embarrassed, Chen Ting quickly said, "You're really amazing, becoming an apprentice at the age of 18."

Moreover, Su Yan's senior brother seems to be quite wealthy, so his master must be no ordinary person.

As they were talking, the car stopped.

The people inside the car all looked out.

Hua Feng Restaurant is a restaurant specializing in Guangzhou specialties. Its exterior is similar to an ancient teahouse, but the decoration style is more modern. It is a mid-to-high-end restaurant.

As soon as Xie Jin parked his car, the welcoming staff immediately came forward to greet him.

After Xie Jin got out of the car, he handed him the keys, then looked back at the large group of "children" who had already gotten out of the car before stepping inside.

There were too many people, so he directly asked for a private room.

After sitting down, everyone except Chen Ting remained calm.

"Order whatever you want," Su Yu said with a smile. "Our senior brother is paying today, so don't be shy with him."

Xie Jin glanced at him. "Didn't you say you were going to treat us to dinner? Why am I paying?"

"I'll treat you, you pay the bill, is there a problem?" Su Yu asked shamelessly.

Xie Jin chuckled, "I didn't expect a leader like you to be so shameless. Fine, order whatever you want, it's on me."

As he spoke, he pushed the menus in front of each of Su Yan's roommates.

As for Su Yan, she picked up the menu as soon as she sat down and is now engrossed in looking at it.

Xie Jin glanced at it and asked, puzzled, "Junior Sister, why are you so engrossed in looking at a menu?"

Su Yu smiled faintly: "It's an occupational hazard of hers. For the sake of her restaurant, she has to study other people's recipes wherever she goes. She's basically always like this."

Speaking of this, Xie Jin suddenly remembered something else, "Junior sister, when will your restaurant open?"

Su Yan snapped out of her thoughts, paused for two seconds, and then replied, "The date hasn't been set yet. I'll go see my business partner in the next couple of days to decide."

"A restaurant? Su Yan, are you the one who wants to open a restaurant?" Chen Ting asked.

"Yes, I'm opening a restaurant. It should be open soon. You guys can come and have fun with me then," Su Yan invited generously.

She had no intention of hiding her plans to open a restaurant from anyone, nor did she feel like she was showing off. On the contrary, she was genuinely concerned about it, which is why she said such things.

"My God!" Deng Ziyi looked her up and down incredulously and said, "You don't even look as old as me, how come you own a restaurant?"

Su Yan blinked innocently and said, "No one says you can't open a restaurant if you're young."

"No, what I mean is that you're very capable, opening a restaurant at such a young age," Deng Ziyi said. "But you majored in a combination of Chinese and Western studies, and I heard that your major has a lot of courses. Do you still have time to manage a restaurant?"

She looked at Su Yan as gentle and weak, but she never expected her to be such a capable person.

“I have partners, so I’m not managing it alone.”

"Alright, alright," Xie Jin quickly interrupted them. "Let's eat first. You'll have plenty of time to talk about other things later."

Chen Ting placed the menu on the turntable. "We've ordered."

Su Yan glanced at the checkmarks on the menu; they were mostly for cheap items, only about three or four in total.

She checked off all the dishes she thought looked good before handing the menu to the waiter.

In less than half an hour, all ten dishes were served.

Apart from Chen Ting and the other two, everyone else ordered over 48 yuan per serving.

While eating, Xie Jin said, "After you finish eating, I'll take the three of you back to school first."

Su Yan pointed to herself, "What about me and my brother?"

"Wait for me here, and then I'll take you to my apartment."

"No need, Senior Brother," Deng Ziyi quickly refused. "We don't have classes today. We were just planning to stroll around this area this afternoon. We'll go out after we finish eating. You guys go about your business."

Xie Jin raised an eyebrow. "Okay."

Lunch ended an hour later.

Chen Ting and the others left after a short while.

After paying the bill, Su Yan and the other two left for Xie Jin's apartment.

The three waited at the door for a minute or two before the waiter brought the car over.

At this moment, a group of people walked out of the private room into the lobby of Huafeng Restaurant.

He Xiuyun, who was standing tall and straight at the head of the group, suddenly stopped and turned his head to look outside the door, but only saw the back of a car. He frowned.

"Sixth Master, why aren't you leaving?" someone nearby asked hurriedly.

He Xiuyun pondered for a moment before turning his gaze away. "Let's go."

...

The Liming Apartment that Xie Jin bought is about one kilometer away from Su Yan's school, and there is a shopping mall and a food street nearby, so there is a lot of foot traffic.

The car drove into the apartment building and finally stopped in the parking space in front of Building 3.

Xie Jin said, "There are a total of 8 apartment buildings here. The one I bought is in building 3, unit 306. The security is good, so you can rest assured to stay here."

Su Yan nodded, got out of the car, and followed him upstairs.

There are only two households per floor. The staircase is very nicely decorated, with white ceramic tiles covering the steps and half of the wall. The apartment Xie Jin bought is on the left.

He opened the door and stepped aside to let Su Yan and Su Yu go in first.

Su Yan entered the room and looked around curiously.

To the left of the entrance is a custom-made shoe cabinet, around the corner is the toilet, to the right is a kitchen that can accommodate two people, in the middle is a spacious living room, further ahead, to the left is a small balcony, and to the right is a bedroom. The decoration style is minimalist, making the house look bright and spacious overall.

However, the house was sparsely furnished, and many places were covered in dust, indicating that it had not been lived in for a long time.

"Senior brother, if you don't live here, why did you buy a house here?" she asked.

Xie Jin closed the door and said, “I own one or two houses in almost every district of Guangzhou. Because of the nature of my work, I need to travel around a lot, and I don’t really like staying in hotels, so I just bought them.”

Su Yan: ...One or two houses in each district? In Guangzhou?

She suddenly became withdrawn.

"I never expected you, Senior Brother, to be such a hidden tycoon," she said quietly.
