Cloud City.
After coming out of the theater, Xu Nanzhi walked alone on the asphalt road. A breeze blew by, and drizzle fell on the oil-paper umbrella she was holding.
I moved the umbrella slightly and looked up. It seemed that everything here was the same as usual. It is said that the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River seems to have covered the city with a different veil.
Ding Dong, Xu Nanzhi stopped as the message alert came from his mobile phone.
[Nan Guo Hotel 608, waiting for you. ]
Along with the message came a location, as if they were afraid that Xu Nanzhi didn't know where it was.
She chuckled at this and simply replied with a period.
She was now some distance away from the Nan Guo Hotel, and if she walked there she would be exhausted.
Coincidentally, a taxi happened to pass by not far away at this moment, and Xu Nanzhi immediately waved.
The taxi responded by turning on its turn signal.
At the same time, a black Bentley appeared in Xu Nanzhi's sight. Its luxurious appearance coupled with the Beijing A license plate made Xu Nanzhi take a second look.
The car sped past, and the half-lowered window allowed people to clearly see the man sitting in the back seat. The two men looked at each other and then drove away.
"He's quite good-looking." Xu Nanzhi thought to herself, but didn't care. The next second, the taxi she had just waved stopped beside her.
He opened the car door and got in without stopping: "Master, let's go to the Nan Guo Hotel."
"Okay, fasten your seat belts." The driver said enthusiastically.
At this moment, in the private room 608 of the Nan Guo Hotel, there was a man sitting there, about 26 or 27 years old, sitting lazily in a chair with his legs crossed, ordering food.
"Give me one of each, this and this."
"Oh, by the way, I'm preparing a kiwi smoothie."
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "That's all for now. I'll call you if I need you."
The two people standing beside the man nodded respectfully, took the menu and prepared to get up and leave.
At this time, the door of the box opened from the outside and Xu Nanzhi walked in.
Seeing her, the man who had just been sitting with his legs crossed sat up straight immediately: "Zizi?"
"Zhi." Xu Nanzhi said as if to correct.
"I have no choice but to listen." This person is also stubborn and refuses to change.
Pointing at the waiter who was about to leave, he said to Xu Nanzhi, "See if there's anything else you want to add."
Xu Nanzhi shook her head at the waiter who looked over and waited until everyone left before sitting down. Seeing the man opposite her staring at her, she curled her lips and said, "Why, don't you recognize him?"
The person opposite shook his head and said, "I do know you, but it's a little unbelievable that you actually came back. It doesn't seem real."
He stood up straight away, and moved his face closer to Xu Nanzhi: "Come, let me take a closer look."
Xu Nanzhi rolled her eyes at his expression and said, "Please stop teasing little girls with your tricks, or I'm leaving."
Seeing her about to stand up, the man opposite regained his composure and said, "Hey, don't go. I was wrong, okay?"
Xu Nanzhi didn't move, just looked at him and sneered.
The man opposite muttered, "How can you be ashamed of letting me, your brother, be manipulated like this?"
Xu Nanzhi glanced at him and replied calmly, "It's my cousin."
After saying that, he seemed to have thought of something and added, "And he's also very good-looking."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man became unhappy and immediately retorted: "Nonsense, how can it be eight thousand miles away? My grandfather is your third uncle."
"It's my third uncle." Xu Nanzhi said again as if to correct him.
The man opposite waved his hand: "Third Uncle sounds better."
Too lazy to argue with him, Xu Nanzhi ignored him.
Perhaps realizing he'd talked too much, the man awkwardly pursed his lips and took a sip of water. "That was just a joke. I haven't seen you in a while, so why not liven things up a bit?"
As he said that, he handed over a folder, and Xu Nanzhi took it and opened it.
"Here are all the transfer procedures."
After looking at it for a few times, Xu Nanzhi put it away and put it on a chair beside him and said slowly: "Zhou Fang."
The person opposite was stunned for a moment when Xu Nanzhi suddenly called his name.
Xu Nanzhi said seriously, "Thank you."
The man opposite smiled and said, "You're welcome, little cousin. After all, it was my aunt's dowry. If it weren't for the need to make ends meet, I wouldn't have sold it."
At this point, Zhou Fang's expression became unusually serious. "Speaking of which, what are you going to do with the Xu family? Everyone knows what happened back then. I used to call him Uncle Uncle, but he can't control himself. My Aunt supported him so much back then. Otherwise, there would be no Xu family's current fortune."
Xu Nanzhi listened to Zhou Fang's indignant words with a calm expression, as if the person talking about him was of no importance to her. In her heart, she no longer regarded that man as her grandfather.
"Why are you as concerned about the Xu family's affairs as Wen Yan?"
Instead of answering Zhou Fang's question directly, Xu Nanzhi asked a question in return, which choked him.
"Wen Yan also knows that you are back? Why don't you tell them first?"
Zhou Fang's thoughts were distracted by Xu Nanzhi. To this, she simply replied, "It was an accidental encounter."
Zhou Fang sneered at this answer: "Accident? Don't let anyone else from the Wen family run into you by accident."
Xu Nanzhi glanced at him without answering. Just then, there was a knock on the door. "Mr. Zhou, your dishes are ready. Shall we serve them now?"
