Xia Yu originally wanted to find a hotel to stay in for one night, and then find a short-term rental place to spend his freshman winter break.
When Su Jianwei heard Xia Yu's plan, he thought of his vacant house in Shuxiangyuan and said that he could rent it to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu had considered the houses in Shuxiangyuan before, and even asked about the prices, but he had never found a suitable house.
Now that Su Jianwei said that, Xia Yu was of course tempted, but she was afraid that Su Jianwei would not accept her money.
"Then I'll go only if you guarantee to charge me the market price for rent."
Su Jianwei knew that this amount of money was nothing to Xia Yu, who always had a source of royalties, so she didn't argue with her and said, "Okay."
The house Su Jianwei bought in Shuxiangyuan is on the third floor, with three bedrooms and a living room. It had been cleaned before so it was very clean and ready for immediate move-in.
However, some of Su Jianwei's things were placed in the master bedroom of the house, so Su Jianwei rented the second bedroom to Xia Yu, as a shared rental, although she lived alone.
Xia Yu likes Su Jianwei's house very much. It is simple and warm.
"Thanks."
Su Jian smiled and said, "It's okay, go clean up first, and then we'll go eat."
"good!"
Although Xia Yu's room is a second bedroom, it faces the sun like the master bedroom, is not small in size, and has a tree view outside the window, which is very nice.
Xia Yu simply packed up his things, silently wrote down the money he wanted to give to Su Jianwei and the daily necessities he was going to buy, and then followed Su Jianwei to the restaurant booked by Bater.
The restaurant that Battelle booked was a Northwestern Chinese restaurant.
The decoration style is bold and unrestrained, with strong ethnic characteristics.
When the roasted whole lamb was brought up, Xia Yu couldn't take his eyes off it because of the aroma.
In addition, Xia Yu also saw a very inappropriate vegetable on the table full of Northwestern dishes.
Stir-fried okra.
Bater brought the dish to Xia Yu and said with a smile, "I heard from that person that you like it, so I asked the kitchen to make it. I just don't know if it suits your taste."
Xia Yu was stunned when he saw the dish. He didn't expect that Bater would take it to heart just because of Jiang Zhisen's words.
but……
Xia Yu pushed the dish aside and said to Bater, "The vegetable I hate most is okra."
Bater was stunned for a moment, then he picked up the dish and placed it on the table next to him, saying with a smile, "Then let's eat meat!"
"Let me tell you, I learned how to make braised pork from Auntie Lan a while ago. I just started stewing it and will serve it to you when it's cooked!"
Xia Yu looked at Bater, and suddenly the corners of his mouth curled up, "Bater, thank you."
"Why thank me? I'm pursuing you, so I have to be more attentive!"
Xia Yu: “…”
Su Jianwei smiled and said, "So what you mean is that if you can win over our Xia Xia in the future, you won't have to be so attentive, right?"
"How is that possible!"
Bater cut off a large piece of roasted lamb leg and placed it on Xia Yu's plate, saying, "Before marriage, it's called being attentive, but after marriage, it's called spoiling your wife!"
"If you don't love your own wife, how can you expect someone else to do it?"
Lu Zheng looked at Bater. Although he knew that he did not mean it, he still felt that Bater was pointing at him.
Lu Zheng took the knife from Bater's hand and cut the best meat from the other lamb leg onto Su Jianwei's plate.
Bater is a man with some cooking skills. Although the braised pork he makes does not taste the same as Lin Yulan's, it tastes very good too.
Seeing that Xia Yu was enjoying his meal, Bater asked, "Is the guy named Jiang today your uncle?"
Xia Yu paused while picking up the braised pork. After putting the meat into his own bowl, he looked at Bater, who was staring at him, and said, "He's not really an uncle."
"He's half an adoptive father."
Su Jianwei and Bater looked at Xia Yu in surprise, and Bater said regretfully, "I thought he was just an ordinary uncle!"
"I should have been more polite to him."
Xia Yu asked, "Why?"
"Of course it's because he's your elder. If I want to marry you in the future, I must meet him, right?"
"No need." Xia Yu looked at Bater and said.
Bartel was stunned for a moment, then said in surprise: "You mean I have hope of marrying you!"
Xia Yu blushed slightly, and looked at Bater with embarrassment and said, "What I meant is that he doesn't need to ask about my marriage."
He may not want to see himself married either.
Bater thought of Lu Zheng's previous acquaintance with Jiang Zhisen and asked, "He used to be Uncle Lu's subordinate. Is he famous in business now?"
"It's okay."
Lu Zheng had contact with him because of Lu Hai. They had met several times before, but they didn't have much contact normally.
In other words, although Jiang Zhisen has some reputation in the imperial capital and his business is pretty good, if he were not Lu Hai's subordinate, he would not have many opportunities to meet Lu Zheng.
Xia Yu looked up unconsciously when she heard Lu Zheng's words. From what he said, Jiang Zhisen, who was like a mountain in her eyes, seemed to be nothing more than that.
"What does he do?"
"It seems he started out in security and is now investing in real estate. He has quite the business sense."
"Jiangshang Group." Xia Yu suddenly said, "Isn't it powerful?"
Bater saw Xia Yu looking at Lu Zheng, as if waiting for his answer.
To show off, he spoke before Lu Zheng, "It's a company that's been growing rapidly in recent years, but it's not enough for us to take it seriously."
When Xia Yu heard Bater say "we", his eyes finally turned to him.
"Do you also run a company?"
Seeing that Xia Yu finally cared about him, Bater smiled and said, "It seems that you have forgotten my self-introduction to you before."
Bater said under Xia Yu's gaze: "I have opened several companies, the more famous ones are Bahrain Group, Natural Pasture Dairy, and Universal Pictures..."
Xia Yu looked at Bater in amazement. He didn't expect that this rough-looking man was actually the boss of these big groups.
Seeing Su Jianwei looking at Bater with surprise, Lu Zheng added, "I'm his shareholder."
Bater rolled his eyes at Lu Zheng. He finally had the chance to show off in front of his future wife, so why was he here to mess things up?
Xia Yu closed her mouth in surprise. She finally understood why Lu Zheng and Bater disagreed with Jiang Zhisen.
But before she met them, Jiang Zhisen and the Mo family were really a huge mountain pressing down on her.
Xia Yu looked at Bater, who was staring at her intently. She suddenly felt moved. Maybe Bater...
As soon as this thought came up, Xia Yu suppressed it firmly.
Can't.
She didn't want to deceive Bartel, and if he really knew her past, he might not accept her.
Bater didn't know what Xia Yu was thinking. He only knew that Xia Yu had been looking at him, so he asked excitedly, "How is classmate Xia Yu?"
"Do you want to date me?"
