Chapter 63 I Want to Fall in Love
Yue Zifeng had instructed in advance that as soon as Shuang Xu arrived at Lan Ye, someone would come to meet her at the door and take her to the VIP box on the second floor.
The waiter brought drinks and fruits: "Miss Song, please take a rest first. Master Yue is on his way."
Shuang Xu opened the wine and poured himself a glass.
When the door of the private room was pushed open, the bottle of wine in front of her was already half empty.
Yue Zifeng's voice rang out: "Sister, why didn't you wait for us and started drinking first?"
"I left it for you." Shuang Xu thought he came with Zuo Zhong and others. When he looked up, he didn't see anyone else, but saw an unexpected figure following him.
The slight smile on her face disappeared in an instant.
He Tingzhou saw the changes in her expression and said, "You don't welcome me."
Having just embarrassed herself in front of him, Shuang Xu certainly didn't want him to come, but she couldn't admit it.
"I thought you were still eating."
"Eating is not as important as coaxing you." He Tingzhou dragged his lazy tone, walked straight to the single sofa opposite, and sat down with his legs crossed.
This angle was facing Shuang Xu, and his eyes naturally fell on her.
This made Shuang Xu suddenly feel awkward standing on the podium for people to see.
"Your brother Tingzhou happened to be nearby, so I asked him to come along." Yue Zifeng sat down next to Shuang Xu with a glass of wine in his hand. "Didn't you go on a blind date today? Why are you here to drink?"
Shuang Xu paused as he poured wine into the glass: "How did you know I was going on a blind date today?"
"My friend has invested in the catering company of the person you're dating. Aunt Fu even asked me to find out about his character two days ago."
Shuang Xu was silent for a few seconds, then asked in a normal tone, "So what do you think of him?"
"He is a good person. He started a business from scratch and was so successful. His personal ability must be recognized. Not everyone has such execution and energy."
Shuang Xu could tell he had more to say: "But——?"
Yue Zifeng smiled and said, "But I don't think he is the same as you."
He Tingzhou reached out for a glass of wine and asked casually, "Why aren't we from the same path?"
"Men who are too ambitious in their careers care most about their careers. They are goal-oriented and the means are secondary."
There were only three of them in the room, and they were all family, so Yue Zifeng spoke frankly: "To be frank, men who have worked their way up by themselves are all very utilitarian. Sister Shuangxu is a pearl, and I don't need to explain how pearls are made, right? External solid protection and internal toughness are both indispensable, and she needs someone to take care of her."
"Shen Yu can be her clam shell and raise her so well, but Wei Qian can't do that. People like Wei Qian are spears."
Yue Zifeng was usually careless, but I didn't expect him to speak so convincingly.
He Tingzhou did not comment on his point of view. He took a sip of wine and mocked, "You went to study biology with your ex-girlfriend?"
"She studied microbiology, so what she said has nothing to do with me. Is it so difficult for you to admit that I am educated?" Yue Zifeng asked, "Just tell me if what I said makes sense?"
He Tingzhou: "Too many words, I'm too lazy to listen."
Yue Zifeng: “…”
Shuang Xu didn't know what words to use to describe the feeling in her heart that was like the sea water was pouring back.
In the past, Shen Yu was her clam shell, but now that clam shell has been violently broken open.
"In fact, I don't need anyone to protect me," Shuangxu said, "After the pearls grow, they will be taken out."
Yue Zifeng said: "Look at those expensive pearls in the window, why are they all marked with the place of origin?"
Yue Zifeng had actually put it very tactfully. Shuang Xu was indeed a pretty and lovable girl. If a man said he liked her, he would be more or less sincere about it.
But more than that, people are coveting the background behind her.
This cannot be said to be wrong. Everyone will weigh the pros and cons. The higher their level, the more they know that profit is the most primitive driving force.
However, Shuang Xu was the one they watched grow up, and she was like their own sister. If she were to have a boyfriend, Yue Zifeng would of course hope that he was someone who truly loved her.
Shuang Xu understood what he meant. What Wei Qian really valued was her “place of origin”.
She could see his excessive enthusiasm for He Tingzhou. As someone who was used to being admired by others, He Tingzhou must have seen it clearly.
So embarrassing.
She didn't look up at He Tingzhou and drank silently.
He Tingzhou shifted his gaze from her to Yue Zifeng: "You're quite sweet. Let's have Bamboo Leaf Green for dinner."
Yue Zifeng then realized that Shuang Xu was in a low mood. He knew that he had said too much and quickly tried to comfort her: "Hey, I'm not saying that you are a commodity. What I mean is that to many people, you are a treasure. Sister, just understand what your brother means."
"I see."
Yue Zifeng treated her as his own, which was why he told her these thoughts from his heart.
Shuang Xu did not deny that Wei Qian was an outstanding young talent, but it was obvious that neither she nor this young talent could truly appreciate each other.
Instead of wasting time with him, it is better to change to someone you can accept.
If she had a boyfriend, Fu Yun would feel at ease, which would be a way to resolve this deadlock.
"Brother Zifeng, do you have anyone suitable that you can introduce to me?"
He Tingzhou slowly leaned back, his right hand holding the wine glass hanging on the armrest, his black eyes dim under his high brows.
Yue Zifeng was also a little surprised: "Why do you suddenly want me to introduce you to a boyfriend?"
The reason was easy to find. Shuang Xu said, "I want to fall in love."
Yue Zifeng hissed, rubbed his face with his hands, and started searching among the people he knew: "You like wild and domineering people, so it's really hard to find them."
How could he still remember this? Shuang Xu glanced at He Tingzhou subconsciously.
Yue Zifeng caught this little action and said happily: "Don't look at him. I don't have the final say over this Mr. He."
He Tingzhou said nothing and just leaned there in a disinterested manner.
Yue Zifeng is popular and has thousands of friends in his address book, but he just can't think of a suitable one.
Those dandies are either good-for-nothings or they change women like clothes, all of them are ugly.
"You have to let your brother come in person to find a boyfriend for you. Your brother's standards are so picky. Family background, appearance, character, personality, career... everything must be perfect to be qualified?" Yue Zifeng didn't dare to take on this job. "If I introduce someone to you casually, he will come back to settle the score with me."
"I just asked casually." Shuang Xu said, "Don't tell my brother."
Yue Zifeng's phone rang. He picked it up and listened to a few words, then quickly put down his wine glass: "My evil boy got into a fight with someone again. I'm going to go back and take a look. Tingzhou, you can take my sister home later."
He Tingzhou did not comment. He opened and closed the door of the private room, blocking out the noise from outside.
Shuang Xu felt a pair of eyes staring at her. The presence was so strong that she couldn't pretend to ignore it.
Looking up at He Tingzhou, his expression was unclear. He turned his wrist slightly, and the amber wine in the glass swayed with his movement.
"Are you short of men?"
These words were sharp and harsh, and Shuang Xu was not happy to hear them: "I'll go back first."
She stood up and was about to leave when she heard footsteps following behind her. As soon as she opened the door, she was pushed back by an irresistible force.
He Tingzhou's bony hands pressed against the door panel, and his voice came from behind her: "I'm asking you a question."
