Chapter 282 Qiao Xi, Be More Reserved
Huo Xingzhou's deep, jade-like eyes grew even darker. He leaned against the back of his chair, holding the teacup in his fingers, and said, "So what if I feel bad? So what if I don't feel bad?"
Zhou Yu laughed obscenely twice: "Since you said you felt sorry for me, there's no need to add vinegar to the meal today."
Huo Xingzhou gave him a cold look: "What does it have to do with you?"
"I'm sorry, I know I was wrong."
Zhou Yu said with a smile, "Just in time, I got a call. It seems to be from the Zhong family. I'll go out to greet them. They should be here soon. How can we let the boss do this kind of errand job in person?"
He picked up his phone and coat, opened the box door and went out.
Only Qiao Xi and Huo Xingzhou were left in the box.
Qiao Xi suddenly felt that the question just now should have been asked at home.
This is the wrong time and place.
She felt a little embarrassed by the man's gaze.
I only heard him say, "There's only one person at the top of my heart, so how can I have so much time to feel sorry for others? The only bond between Xu Xingluo and me is that she saved my life, and I've repaid it long ago."
He reached out and pinched her fair cheek and said, "Is the old vinegar delicious?"
Qiao Xi pursed her lips to prevent herself from smiling too obviously.
She said softly, "It's a bit sour. I don't like drinking old vinegar."
Huo Xingzhou looked at her seriously: "I don't like sour food either."
So don’t always mention that Ayi in your dreams.
Next time they sleep in the same bed, if she calls out that name, she won't be able to sleep all night.
Qiao Xi leaned forward and pecked his thin lips: "This is sweet."
Huo Xingzhou held her wrist and whispered, "Be more reserved. If the door is opened, aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the guests?"
Qiao Xi's cheeks blushed when he said that, she couldn't help herself.
Then I heard him say in a hoarse voice: "Go home and tease me any way you want."
Qiao Xi's ears felt hot and she nodded obediently.
A smile gradually appeared on Huo Xingzhou's lips.
Men are the kind of people who take advantage of others and still act ungratefully.
It's obviously difficult for you to control yourself, but you still ask others to be reserved.
Knock knock.
Zhou Yu left and returned.
He first knocked on the box door and then pushed it in.
He is a very sensible person and is afraid of encountering something he shouldn't encounter.
Huo Xingzhou brought a plate of snacks to Qiao Xi, raised his head and asked calmly, "Is anyone here?"
Zhou Yu took a big sip of water and said, "No! Master Zhong's assistant called me. He said Master Zhong had something urgent to do and couldn't come for the time being. We'll make an appointment another day. Did he cancel so suddenly? Was it intentional?"
Huo Xingzhou's eyes darkened. "Something urgent? It must be something important."
"What could possibly happen to him in Haicheng?"
Zhou Yu said unhappily, "Is standing someone up at the last minute considered a tactic in business negotiation? Sign the next phase of the contract quickly so I can schedule the project."
It’s workers like him who suffer!
Huo Xingzhou said calmly, "Now that he's in Haicheng, signing the contract is only a matter of time. Perhaps something unexpected has happened."
Zhou Yu asked curiously, "Could it be an internal fight within the Zhong family? I saw the two brothers fighting fiercely!"
"The depth of the water in the imperial capital is unknown."
Huo Xingzhou couldn't place too many chess pieces in the imperial capital, for fear of being uprooted.
According to the development of Tianyuan Group, they are bound to enter the imperial capital. Moreover, the Xiang family and the Lu family are also in the imperial capital.
Grandma Qiao’s death cannot be in vain.
Zhou Yu sat on the chair with his arms folded. "It's good that he's not coming. These delicious dishes are cheap for me. I'll have the waiter serve them right away."
Zhou Yu pressed the special bell in the box.
The dishes were served one after another from the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law, you can feast on this! The Buddha Jumps Over the Wall at Jinling Hotel is so delicious you never get tired of it. I'll keep wanting more!"
Qiao Xi nodded repeatedly in agreement.
She loves it very much.
Soon, the large round sandalwood table was filled with exquisite dishes.
The waiter carefully brought up two bottles of Romanee-Conti. "Mr. Huo, Mr. Zhou, shall we open the wine for you now?"
"Need not."
"open!"
Two male voices rang out.
Zhou Yu said weakly, "Open a bottle? Huo Er, you can earn it back in a minute, don't be so stingy."
Zhou Yu knew that Huo Xingzhou had been more restrained than other rich young men since he was a child, and he did not have any extravagant hobbies.
Huo Xingzhou said mercilessly: "Retreat."
Zhou Yu raised a finger pitifully: "Leave one bottle! Just drink one bottle!"
The waiter was a little embarrassed and asked politely, "Excuse me, can you open this wine?"
Zhou Yu's eyes rolled and he turned his target to Qiao Xi.
He complained, "Sister-in-law, I go out in the rain every day to discuss business with Huo Er. Sometimes I get taken advantage of by rich women during social events. I have no words to express my suffering.
I just want to have a drink to soothe my broken heart."
He clasped his hands together and said, "Please, please."
Qiao Xi was also a little embarrassed.
On one side is expensive wine, and on the other side is poor Zhou Yu.
Finally, Huo Xingzhou made the final decision: "Open one bottle and return the rest."
The waiter nodded: "Okay, Mr. Huo."
Zhou Yu was smiling happily, but it all depended on Qiao Xi!
When the hard-hearted Huo Xingzhou meets Qiao Xi, he will become a soft-hearted god!
The red wine was decanted for half an hour.
Zhou Yu immediately poured a small cup for Qiao Xi: "Little sister-in-law, try it."
Qiao Xi did not refuse and picked up the wine glass and took a sip.
The wine enters the mouth.
The nose is full of rose nectar, a hint of forest floor truffles, and layers of black cherry and floral notes.
Feather-light taste.
A lingering aftertaste.
Qiao Xi's eyes lit up.
She finally understood why Zhou Yu insisted on ordering this bottle of wine.
Zhou Yu told jokes and urged people to drink.
They both finished the bottle of wine.
Huo Xingzhou folded his hands and watched them fooling around with dignity and dignity.
Half the round of drinking has passed.
Zhou Yu picked up his phone and took a look at the pinned chat dialog box. The chat history showed that the last chat was three days ago.
He put down his phone and continued drinking with a smile on his face.
…
And at this time.
Outside Jinling Hotel, on the street corner.
A Cullinan with a license plate of Beijing A was parked quietly, and it was unknown how long it had been parked.
The car window was halfway down.
The street lights flickered, the light was dim and looked like a blurred filter.
The assistant in a black suit stood respectfully beside the car and reported, "Mr. Zhong, I've already passed the message to Mr. Zhou of Tianyuan Group. He told us that we have something else to do and won't be going."
He didn't understand why Zhong Shao changed his mind at the last minute even though he had arrived.
Could it be that he heard the news that Miss Qiao had also arrived?
"Mr. Zhou said we'll make an appointment next time. They haven't left yet, but are staying in the private room to enjoy the food. I found out they opened a bottle of 2019 Romanee-Conti, which must have been Mr. Zhou's order. The waiter said Miss Qiao drank quite a bit as well."
"Um."
A very faint and light voice came from inside the car.
