Chapter 66 I didn’t hear anything!
Seeing Zhong Ming's frustrated look, Jiang Suqing couldn't help laughing out loud. He didn't care about anything else and teased Xuanzhe: "You're almost there. Old Zhong just wanted to send a friend off. Look how scared you are."
Even so, Xuanzhe's frown did not relax.
Jiang Suqing: "..." Damn! This person is seriously jealous!
President Xuan left two people speechless at once.
"Do you like this kind of gem?" Jianwen Shuang put the pendant into his pocket, and Xuanzhe asked in a low voice.
"Give it back to Zhong Ming later." Wen Shuang held the man's hand and stroked his fur. "After all, it's something I carefully prepared. How can I just throw it away?"
Zheng Yuanfei sat back down. Lu Li finally found his chance to shine. He looked embarrassed and self-blaming, and apologized to Zhong Ming, "I'm sorry, Brother Zhong, you know..."
"Why are you calling him brother?" Zheng Yuanfei said in a bad tone.
Lu Li wanted to say something, but Zhong Ming suddenly stood up. He didn't even look at Lu Li, but gently fanned his ears, as if to drive away some out-of-tune sounds. In the past, he would have comforted Lu Li with a look of pity, but today he looked clear-headed. He said "I'm going out for a walk" and strode out of everyone's sight.
Wen Shuang was once again stunned. After all, the contrast between Brother Gou's sudden rise and his singing was too tragic. He couldn't help but applaud softly, for Zhong Ming saw a clear path forward!
Jiang Suqing applauded, simply because his brother had finally come to his senses. As the saying goes, there is always someone better out there.
Seeing them clapping, some people who didn't know why also clapped. For a while, the hall was filled with applause and an indescribable warm atmosphere.
Lu Li: “…”
"What are we having for dinner?" It was only three o'clock in the afternoon, and Wen Shuang was already thinking about dinner. He felt that since he was in a place like this, he had to eat something different.
Jiang Suqing didn't let him down and continued, "Roasted fat lamb and tender lamb, right in the open space in front of the villa. Paired with beer, it's absolutely delicious!"
"How cruel!" Wen Shuang's eyes lit up, "Add more cumin."
Xuanzhe rubbed his hair in amusement and asked, "Are you sleepy? Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a while?"
Wen Shuang was sleepy, but still wanted to move around for a while, so she took Xuanzhe outside.
The sun was not as scorching as before, and the cold air that had settled in the air-conditioned room for so long came out layer by layer when it shone on his body. The green grass was swaying, and there was a reclining chair nearby for rest, which had been wiped clean. Xuan Zhe lay on it first, then smiled and opened his arms towards Wen Shuang.
Wen Shuang threw herself on him without thinking. President Xuan's arms were so broad and gave a sense of security. Only whoever lay there would know.
Oh, I forgot that other people don’t have this treatment. Tsk tsk tsk, so pitiful.
"Where does all the food you eat every day go?" Xuanzhe pinched Wen Shuang's waist. There was only a thin layer of flesh, and deeper down were bones.
"Using my brain every day is tiring," Wen Shuang replied lazily. "Besides, not gaining weight is a good thing. You haven't seen the diet plans of some artists in the company. If I had to eat only vegetables for weeks in a row, I would die!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Xuanzhe tightened his embrace, "Eat as much as you want, you'll be full."
Wen Shuang smiled gently, leaned on Xuan Zhe's shoulder and closed his eyes. In his past and present lives, only when he was with this person could he completely empty his mind. He didn't have to worry too much, and didn't have to bother to guess. All the evil winds and heavy rains were isolated outside an invisible protective shield. He only needed to draw warmth from this person without any scruples.
"Xuan Zhe..." Wen Shuang called out softly, and soon her breathing became even.
The sun was shining brightly, and the moisture in the grass was steaming up, carrying a unique fragrance of soil. Xuanzhe felt that the champagne just now was not low in alcohol content, otherwise why would he feel a little tipsy?
It was not until Jiang Suqing brought people out to set up the stage that Wen Shuang woke up slowly. At this time, a black SUV drove from a distance. The driver was either a master or a novice, and it was a real "snake-skin move".
The SUV stopped and Jiang Suqing squinted his eyes: "Who is it?"
The passenger seat opened first, and a white, slender hand stretched out. Then Lin Nuan almost fell from it. After falling to the ground, she got up immediately, ran to a big tree in the distance, hugged the trunk and started vomiting.
"No, little girl." The person who got out from the driver's seat was Tan Li.
"Hmm" Wen Shuang rubbed her eyes. What's the wind like today? Why is it so windy?
"You..." Jiang Suqing knew Tan Li, but he didn't invite him.
"Mr. Jiang." Tan Li stepped forward and took the initiative to shake hands with Jiang Suqing. "We contacted each other via email three days ago."
Jiang Suqing was stunned for a moment, then revealed a look of sudden realization and said in shock, "You are the one who was rumored to be the entertainment talker?"
Tan Li smiled and said, "It's me."
Wen Shuang raised her head and asked Xuan Zhe: "What?"
"Don't you know that Tan Li is the prince of Chuanyu?" Xuanzhe said calmly, "Tan Tianhe is his uncle."
Wen Shuang: “…” Tan Tian and he knew it, but he really didn’t know about Tan Li.
Looking at Lin Nuan who came with Tan Li, Wen Shuang gradually guessed something.
Tan Li walked over and greeted Wen Shuang and Xuan Zhe, then said with a slightly embarrassed look, "I also brought a good friend with me. I hope you get along well."
Xuanzhe suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
The rear door of the SUV opened and Tang Weisheng got out with a pale face.
Tang Weisheng was already feeling uncomfortable, and now seeing Wen Shuang, his stomach was even more churning. However, compared to Lin Nuan who couldn't control herself, he was indeed an expert at hiding his thoughts. He didn't show it on his face at all, but had a cold expression, seeming to be out of tune.
But who is Wen Shuang? His radar is very sharp, especially when he faces Tang Weisheng, he can see through him at a glance.
Xuanzhe went inside to help, and Wen Shuang ran over to Tang Weisheng and said to him, "If you want to vomit, just vomit. Don't hold it in. You still have to eat meat tonight, and vomiting then will be even worse."
Tang Weisheng tried to force Wen Shuang back with a fierce look, but Wen Shuang was not afraid at all: "Really, go ahead and vomit. If it were me, I would have vomited my liver out long ago, considering the way Tan Li drives."
Three minutes later, Tang Weisheng and Lin Nuan were each hugging a tree.
Tan Li took two bottles of mineral water with an annoyed look on his face. Lin Nuan was busy spitting and waving her hands. Tan Li stuffed them into her trouser pocket with some disgust, then stood by Tang Weisheng with the other bottle, unscrewed the bottle himself, and then poured it down his back. From Wen Shuang's angle, he looked at her mouth non-stop, probably apologizing.
Tan Li was just too eager to show off, and didn't even consider whether driving on this road in a graceful manner would cause discomfort to others. He was quite thick-skinned.
"Alright, alright, stop vomiting. It hurts your throat." Tan Li gestured for Tang Weisheng to drink some water to calm his nerves. "Why didn't you tell me if you couldn't adapt?"
Tang Weisheng went to get some water, and his fingertips, slightly wet, slid across the back of Tan Li's hand. The man couldn't help but shudder, and Tang Weisheng immediately looked up at him.
"You've never been in love," Tang Weisheng asked in a hoarse voice.
Tan Li recalled: "We talked about it twice."
"Male and female"
"Female."
"Then find another woman to date." Tang Weisheng screwed up the remaining half bottle of water and stuffed it into Tan Li's arms with some force, as if giving some kind of warning: "Don't dwell on things you shouldn't dwell on."
Tan Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tang Weisheng's back. He did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment of being seen through or the loss of being directly rejected. On the contrary, he smiled brightly.
Tang Weisheng may have rarely been confessed to, or he may have rarely been pursued sincerely by anyone, so his way of rejection seems decisive, but in fact it is full of loopholes. His intention to get rid of it is too obvious. If he doesn't care at all, ignoring is the best way. Tang Weisheng doesn't seem like someone who would give up the optimal solution, so this can only mean one thing.
Tan Li drank the remaining half bottle of water without any concern, knowing that someone was upset.
After all the necessary things were brought out, the chef put the fat lamb that had been marinated for an afternoon on the charcoal fire. I heard that the food cooked over light fire is the most fragrant. There were also various drinks and desserts, as well as the newly served swimming crabs, which were marinated in sauce and the crab meat inside was easy to eat. Wen Shuang saw the pot and went straight for it, but was stopped by Xuan Zhe halfway.
.
"That's raw, fill your stomach with some before you eat it." Xuanzhe took a plate of osmanthus cake and stuffed it into his hand.
Wen Shuang was reluctant at first, but when he smelled the elegant fragrance of osmanthus, his saliva instantly secreted. He picked up a piece and tasted it. It was quite delicious, so he ate it bit by bit, and then discussed with Xuanzhe, "Let's mix some crab roe with rice later."
Xuanzhe glanced at him and said, "You do it yourself."
Wen Shuang nodded.
But when Wen Shuangzhen was about to take action, Xuanzhe was reluctant to do so.
Jiang Suqing hadn't eaten with Xuanzhe for a long time. Seeing this, he smiled and called out, "Boss Xuan, can you do that kind of delicate work?"
Xuanzhe put on gloves and quickly gathered the crab roe from the crab shells with a small spoon. He could also accurately pick out the crab hearts, then selected two plump crabs and put the crab meat into the bowl. His movements were smooth and fast, and he looked like a veteran who had experienced many battles. At the end, he threw in a few pieces of seaweed, crushed them together, and handed them to Wen Shuang. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Suqing: "What did you say?"
Jiang Suqing: "..."
The impression he had of his brothers was that they were reserved, aloof, and never touched the world of society.
But Mr. Xuan has a high talent for learning.
"There's not enough rice." Wen Shuang looked like she wanted to add another spoonful.
Xuanzhe slowly took off his gloves and asked, "Are you going to eat the roasted lamb later?"
Wen Shuang had no choice but to give up.
A group of people gathered in front of the charcoal fire. Jiang Suqing glanced at the bowl in Wen Shuang's hand with a sour look and said unhappily, "We've known each other for all these years, and you've never made it for me."
"Wen Shuang is my boyfriend, right?" Xuan Zhe didn't buy it.
Lu Li sat opposite Wen Shuang across from him through a layer of flickering charcoal fire, and something was slowly dancing in his eyes.
According to the progress of the original novel, Zheng Yuanfei is not very good at taking care of others at this time, and Lu Li is still a standard "wife" image.
The roasted fat lamb was really good, well-marinated and flavorful, with most of its mutton smell removed. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and your mouth would be filled with oil when you take a bite, without being greasy at all. Xuan Zhe didn't let Wen Shuang touch it, as the freshly cut lamb was still very hot, and the crispy skin would become red and swollen again after a while if touched.
"Is it delicious?" Xuanzhe has tasted all kinds of delicacies since he was a child. He himself does not have much preference for food, so he cannot find anything new in it. But when he sees the bulging cheeks of his own quail, he can feel the deliciousness of it.
"Yeah." Wen Shuang didn't have time to answer.
"Oh my god!" Jiang Suqing and Xuanzhe were of the same temperament. Seeing Wen Shuang eating one mouthful after another, he felt a little uncomfortable. "You are not full yet, so you can eat so much?"
Xuanzhe hates it most when people say his child is eating your rice.
Jiang Suqing choked and thought to himself, "I set up this place today, isn't it my rice?" Of course he didn't dare to say it.
Wen Shuang finally took two bites of canned yellow peaches, lay comfortably on Xuanzhe's knees, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm full," Xuanzhe also put down his bowl and chopsticks.
"Eating is the most wonderful thing in the world." Wen Shuang sighed.
Xuanzhe looked at him and said, "Think carefully, is there anything more wonderful than this?"
Wen Shuang was confused: "What?"
Xuanzhe's eyes were deep, just like the ones he gave him every night. Wen Shuang was stunned for a moment, then her face flushed: "Don't drive recklessly!"
Jiang Suqing: "..." Can you please spare him?
Lei Wenxu lit a cigarette and took a deep breath. He originally thought that he was the experienced one among this group of people, but he never expected that President Xuan was more skilled.
The meal lasted until ten o'clock in the evening. The floor was a mess. The group drank more than ten boxes of beer alone. Xuan Zhe stopped at noon and returned to the hall, chatting with Jiang Suqing. Others who were not well-connected went upstairs on their own. Tan Li originally planned to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Suqing. Tan Li supported Tang Weisheng and brought him here with him.
Xuanzhe glanced at Tang Weisheng and said, "If you can't drink that much, don't drink."
Tang Weisheng snorted coldly, his eyes slightly blurred: "You have never taken care of me since I was a child, but now you are taking care of me."
There was a hint of smoke in the air. Although it was lively, not all the liveliness was worth watching. Lei Wenxu, Zhong Ming and others ran away, and there were only five people left. Tan Li looked at Wen Shuang, and Wen Shuang looked at Jiang Suqing. Jiang Suqing thought to himself, these two have been tit-for-tat for more than ten years. What can I do?
Xuanzhe was most annoyed by Tang Weisheng's half-dead tone, "What's your attitude?"
Tang Weisheng leaned back on the sofa, his expression mocking: "That's the attitude."
Xuanzhe's expression suddenly became very dangerous.
"Have some tea, have some tea." Tan Li immediately jumped out to smooth things over and began to set the tea set.
Xuan Zhe aimed his fire directly at him: "It's none of your business to meddle in the affairs of the Xuan family."
Perhaps it was the effect of alcohol, the restlessness that had been suppressed in the heart for a long time over the years suddenly came out, from the initial tit-for-tat to the current roaring and testing of each other.
Tan Li didn't move. If it wasn't Tang Weisheng sitting here today, he could have done whatever he wanted, even blown up the villa, but it was Tang Weisheng. Xuan Zhe's danger level was maxed out in Tan Li's eyes. The person sitting across from him was Xuan Zhe's lover, and the other was Xuan Zhe's childhood friend. If he left, Tang Weisheng would be alone and helpless. He would instantly become thorny, and even if Xuan Zhe beat him to a bloody pulp, he wouldn't bow his head or give in.
"Xuan family affairs," Tang Weisheng repeated with interest, pulling Tan Li back and meeting Xuan Zhe's gaze. "My last name isn't Xuan, so how can this be considered a Xuan family affair? It's just a dispute between you and me. You've been wanting to kick me out of the Xuan family for a while now, so why bother drawing a circle around me now?"
"I told you you're stupid, and you're still breathing heavily." Xuan Zhe's eyes were cold. "If I really wanted to kick you out of the Xuan family, I would kick out your mother who only causes trouble as well. Then you can still live comfortably in the old house."
"You don't enjoy that kind of comfort?" Tang Weisheng bared his fangs and said without hesitation: "Xuanzhe, can you stop being so hypocritical? How many times have you expelled me since we were little? Do you know it yourself?"
The atmosphere suddenly dropped to freezing point. Wen Shuang didn't dare to breathe. He could feel that Xuan Zhe was angry.
"Oh," Xuanzhe laughed in anger, "My memory is not very good, can you help me recall how I expelled you? Isn't this what you and your son are best at? Who locked me in the basement as soon as I entered the Xuan family's gate?"
"It wasn't me!" Tang Weisheng spoke word by word, the veins on his forehead throbbing slightly. He looked at Xuanzhe's mocking and disdainful expression, as if he had finally lost his patience. "I was only a child at that time. I just thought you made a mistake. You stayed in the basement for two days. Who brought you food every day? It wasn't me!"
Xuanzhe widened his eyes slightly, obviously surprised. The food placed at the door seemed to be hastily picked out from a pile of leftovers. Xuanzhe thought that Tang Wansu was deliberately humiliating him. He never thought that Tang Wansu dared not give him food, nor did he think that those things were prepared by Tang Weisheng.
"Not Uncle Zhao?" Xuanzhe asked without any emotion.
"Uncle Zhao is a mean-spirited person who changes his attitude according to the situation. Do you think he will take good care of a child or curry favor with the new mistress of the Xuan family?" Tang Weisheng asked.
After what seemed like an eternity, Xuanzhe finally moved. He took Jiang Suqing's cigarette and lit one for himself. His expression was even calmer in the smoke. He then spread his hands slightly towards Tang Weisheng, motioning him to continue: "Alright, I see you're deeply resentful. Let's speak out all at once."
"What am I saying?" Tang Weisheng said coldly. "I'm not telling the truth. From kindergarten to high school, your lackeys have targeted me countless times, including Jiang Suqing!"
Tang Weisheng suddenly pointed at the man who wanted to hide him in the ground. The uneasy factor in Jiang Shao's body suddenly sounded the alarm. He stared slightly and listened to Tang Weisheng continue: "When we were in high school, the school organized a school basketball game. You and I were on the same team. Jiang Suqing wanted to hide it from you and put a laxative in my water. Do you admit it?"
"I admit nothing!" Xuanzhe turned back to look at Jiang Suqing, "You did it"
Tan Li raised his head, his expression slightly cold, "Brother, this is too much."
Jiang Suqing raised his hands in surrender, "Wait a minute! What basketball game?!"
Xuanzhe's eyes suddenly flickered: "It was the time in our second year of high school when I asked you to be a substitute."
Jiang Suqing blinked, recalled carefully, and finally matched the numbers. He also realized that he was being blamed, and regardless of his own strength, he immediately joined the fight, "Nonsense! Didn't you just act out of temper and not want to play, so I took over? When the coach asked about it, it was Xuan Zhe who covered for you. He said I wanted to try." The coach was very unhappy at the time, but he had no choice because of the Xuan family. He knew a little about the relationship between Xuan Zhe and Tang Weisheng, and thought that Xuan Zhe deliberately made things difficult for Tang Weisheng, so he turned a blind eye. Otherwise, Tang Weisheng would suddenly be left alone, and he would have to bear the punishment anyway.
"Water... Yes, I delivered water to the basketball team, but brother, please be reasonable. You are not the only one drinking that box of water. How can I be sure that the drugged water will definitely reach your mouth? Who told you all this nonsense?" Jiang Suqing asked.
Tang Weisheng's anger was somewhat quenched. He shook his head weakly, as if the alcohol had taken over him. After a while, he blurted out, "Liu Yabing said so."
This name has been recalled for a long time by both Xuanzhe and Jiang Suqing. It seems that it was a little follower in the past.
It was Liu Yabing who sent Tang Weisheng to the hospital and comforted him by saying that Jiang Suqing was just trying to curry favor with Xuanzhe. At that time, Tang Weisheng firmly believed that Xuanzhe hated him and believed it directly.
"You just believe what he says," Xuanzhe blew out a smoke ring, quite disdainful.
Tang Weisheng lowered his head slightly. Tan Li couldn't bear it and helped him stand up. "Let's go here first, Mr. Xuan. You can talk in detail after he wakes up."
Xuanzhe didn't comment, but heard Shuang cough twice and put out the cigarette.
Tang Weisheng stumbled unsteadily to the stairs, then suddenly turned around, as if a flash of energy had returned. A hint of ferocity etched in his eyes as he stared at Xuanzhe, "And what's more! You said my liking SpongeBob was childish! You said it twice!"
"Then I don't mind saying it for the third time. It's just childish." Xuanzhe said calmly.
Tang Weisheng's eyes were red, perhaps due to the alcohol or something else, and he retaliated by saying, "Noah Ao has never been the strongest!"
Xuanzhe suddenly looked up: "He is!"
Wen Shuang was confused and turned to ask Jiang Suqing in a low voice: "Who is Noah?"
Jiang Suqing covered his cheeks and said in a muffled voice: "You didn't have a childhood, Ultraman? But Tang Weisheng is not wrong. According to official information, although Noah is the first light of the universe, Max is still ranked first in strength."
Wen Shuang: “…”
What is this all about?
Like Wen Shuang, Tan Li was also struck by the decline in intelligence, but Tan Li was a little different. He watched both. Of course, he liked SpongeBob SquarePants more, but... Tan Li couldn't help but said, "I also think Noah is the strongest."
Xuanzhe raised his chin: "Listen."
Jiang Suqing's IQ was instantly wasted: "Bullshit! It was obviously Max!"
Xuanzhe turned around and kicked Jiang Suqing: "Get lost! So when you said Noah was the strongest when you were little, it was just a lie."
Wen Shuang took a sip of tea, feeling mixed emotions and not wanting to talk much.
That night, many people living upstairs heard the sound of tables, chairs and benches rubbing against the ground, and a conflict broke out.
Isn't it, Wen Shuang thought, they have lost all their face to see who is the strongest Ultraman in the universe. Tan Li sent Tang Weisheng back to the room to rest, and then turned back. Until Wen Shuang and Xuan Zhe went upstairs to rest, the two were still discussing this topic with examples and facts.
childish!!!
Wen Shuang roared in her heart. Any one of these people was a master of IQ, a rare talent.
Having said that, Wen Shuang still remembered Noah Ao and searched for related models and peripherals on the Internet. Not to mention, they were quite expensive.
It's absolutely impossible for Xuanzhe to admit these things when he wakes up. Jiang Suqing said lifelessly on the other end of the phone that there was no sun in the afternoon and they could go hiking. Xuanzhe returned to the bed and picked up Wen Shuang, looking like he was going to kill her and said in a dangerous tone: "What did you hear last night?"
Wen Shuang looked horrified: "I didn't hear anything!"
Xuanzhe doesn't believe it: "Really"
Wen Shuang suppressed a laugh: "Yeah! Noah is the strongest!"
Xuanzhe: “…”
