Chen Xu stood in front of the mirror, holding an electric razor and shaved his beard. He put the razor back and glanced at the time. There were still three minutes to seven.

He put on the dark blue suit that Xiyun had chosen for him last time, buttoned it up, and smoothed the wrinkles on his sleeves. He picked up the phone on the table that was almost fully charged, unplugged the charger, and put the phone in his pocket.

After doing all this, he pushed the door open and walked out, carrying the small gift he had prepared. When he got downstairs, a black Rolls-Royce was waiting there. As soon as he came out, a male driver pushed the door open and got out of the car, holding an umbrella and coming forward to shield him from the rain.

"Thank you." He thanked politely and got into the back seat of the car.

The driver folded his umbrella, got into the driver's seat and started the car.

The car was sent by Luo Zhenghai. At noon, he was contacted by phone, saying that they would pick him up in the evening and asked for his home address.

Chen Xu sat in the car, feeling a special and subtle feeling. In reality, his relationship with Luo Zhenghai could be described as bad. If there was a chance to bankrupt him, Luo Zhenghai would definitely not show any mercy.

Similarly, if he could make Luo Zhenghai lose the position of CEO of Tianluo Group, he would not hesitate at all.

Now, Luo Zhenghai treated him with special courtesy. It must be said that the encounters between people are really interesting.

Unfortunately, he is destined to be in conflict with Lao Luo in the future, because he can't give up Yang Jinxia. Lao Luo and Jinxia have irreconcilable conflicts.

Such thoughts were just turning in his mind, and he didn't care much. No matter what happened in the future, for now, he could get along well with Lao Luo.

After a while, the car arrived downstairs of Xiyun's house and picked her up.

She wore a beige sweater today and tied her hair up, which was a little different from her work outfit, more casual and homey. She was holding a bag in her hand, which must be a gift.

As the car continued to move, Chen Xu saw that she was still touching the bag and seemed a little nervous, so he took the initiative to bring up the topic, "Who else is at Mr. Luo's house? I'm worried that I might be impolite when we get there."

Luo Xiyun clenched his fingers and said, "He later married a woman and had a son and a daughter."

At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "There is also an aunt who said she has been at home for many years."

"He...his children, the older one is sixteen years old, named Luo Xiyu, and the younger one is nine years old, named Luo Xining."

Chen Xu did not continue to ask. In fact, he knew more than her. Lao Luo's eldest son was still in the first year of high school. His grades were OK, ranking in the top 200 in his grade. He was introverted and looked a lot like Lao Luo. He liked racing and basketball.

My youngest daughter is in the second grade of primary school. She is lively and likes music. She even won the first prize in the city-level piano competition. She is also the birthday girl tonight.

As for Lao Luo’s current wife, Zhao Feiqian, she is the vice president of the Provincial Art Association and also runs a gallery. She is the behind-the-scenes driving force behind the hype of artworks and has a huge network of relationships. She is a very extraordinary woman.

…………

Half an hour later, they arrived at Luo Zhenghai's mansion.

Just like when Chen Xu came for the first time, Zhao Feiqian came out with her children to greet him, with a friendly smile on her face, "Xiyun, won't you introduce us?"

Seeing her like this, Chen Xu felt that it didn't seem like the first time they met Xiyun. Thinking back to the last time Lao Luo called Xiyun, he thought that she must have come that time.

Xiyun was much more reserved, even a little cold, and only maintained superficial politeness. He seemed very formal.

He took the initiative to introduce himself, "Hello, Mrs. Luo, my name is Chen Xu, I am Mr. Luo's assistant, and I am honored to be invited by Mr. Luo."

Zhao Feiqian smiled and said, "You don't have to be so formal when you come to my house. Just call me Aunt Zhao. Xiaoyu, Xiaoning, call them."

"Hello, sister. Hello, Brother Chen."

Luo Xiyu looked a little shy, while his sister looked at him curiously.

Luo Xiyun faced his two half-blood brothers and sisters with a smile on his face. He handed over the gift in his hand and said, "Happy birthday to you."

"This is a gift from me to you." Chen Xu also presented his own gift.

The little girl also thanked him.

"Okay, stop standing at the door and come in." Zhao Feiqian reminded.

Everyone went into the house, but Lao Luo was not there. The hostess said, "Your father is still in the study. It seems that there is something going on at the company. You and Xiao Chen should sit down first. I will go to the kitchen to see if the soup is ready. Xiao Yu and Xiao Ning, you stay here with me."

Zhao Feiqian left after she finished speaking. In the living room, only Chen Xu and the other three were left. He turned his head and saw that Xiyun looked more relaxed.

Luo Xining was the first to speak, looking at Xiyun with her dark eyes, "Sister, can I open the gift?"

Xiyun's expression softened and he said, "Sure, open it and see if you like it."

Luo Xining couldn't wait to open it. Inside was a pair of shoes. He took them in his hands and said, "So beautiful. Thank you."

Xiyun smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

Then, the little girl looked at Chen Xu with a questioning look, and he said, "Tear it down."

She quickly opened it and took out the contents. Her eyes lit up immediately. "Ah, this is a clay xun?"

Chen Xu said, "Yes."

He had bought this clay xun a long time ago, specifically as a gift for her. He had a special craftsman make it, and it was better than anything you could buy on the market, though of course it was more expensive.

Luo Xining held the clay xun in his hand, looked at the holes on it curiously, and asked, "How do you play this?"

"Blow into the top hole, and the holes below are for pressing."

The girl looked at him with hope and asked, "Can you play it?"

"Yes."

"Then can you play some?"

Chen Xu took it and said, "Then I'll blow it. Remember to clean it later."

"Um."

Luo Xiyun looked at him with some curiosity, she had no idea that he had such a skill and had never heard him mention it before.

Chen Xu picked up the clay xun, put it to his lips and started to play it, and clear and melodious music rang out.

Luo Xiyun immediately recognized that this was the song "Castle in the Sky", but it was played on a clay xun. The timbre was special and very different from the versions he usually heard. It had a special charm.

A few minutes later, when the last note disappeared, Luo Xining clapped his hands vigorously and said, "That's great."

Chen Xu looked at her and knew that he had succeeded in getting her, and his efforts were not in vain.

It is important to have a good relationship with Xiyun's family. Not only Lao Luo, but also her brothers and sisters. As for Zhao Feiqian, it doesn't matter.
