Chapter 259 Have you thought it through?
Xia Wange was speechless at the master's straightforwardness. She tried to find out more, but Master Yu just praised her and Qing Yafeng and refused to respond at all.
She guessed that when the two of them were fighting, judging from the other party's speaking style, Master Yu's "narrow defeat" should be more than just a literal meaning.
After leaving Master Yu's house, Xia Wange spent another two days visiting several other masters.
After everything was done, Xia Wange thought of Master Yu's words, so he decided to put traveling on the agenda first. When he was about to call Du Yun to ask him if he had time, he saw Du Yun's WeChat.
Du Yun: [Sister Xia, I was having dinner at home today. My stepmother and stepbrother mentioned you (my girlfriend) in unison. My father said that relatives (relatives from my stepmother's side) will come to our house in a few days. It should be fun. Do you want to join us? I didn't agree. If I come to see you or not, I should be able to get a red envelope when the time comes. (The spoils can be shared)]
Xia Wange looked at Du Yun's WeChat account, which was constantly being patched, and smiled. "Okay, go ahead. Just give me a date when the time comes."
Du Yun: [As long as I can get money from my family, I will make money. Sister Xia, when do you think I can organize a three-party dinner? The second party of our company has been asking me when we can discuss the contract.]
I have to say that the last "house fight" was really interesting. Xia Wange thought about it and replied: [How about a first criticism before a second praise? ]
Du Yun: [Ok, I get it. First the family dinner and then the business dinner. At the family dinner, I am the idle playboy in my friend's company. At the business dinner, I am the grandfather of my father's company. Ok, ok, ok, perfect.]
[Let's go traveling tomorrow? The two people from the Xiao family have been calling me like crazy. They must accompany you to visit Beijing. ]
Xia Wan Ge: [Okay.]
At this moment, Lu Qiu also made a video call. In the video, Lu Qiu's background was still in the office.
Xia Wange wanted to see it more clearly, so he moved closer.
Lu Qiu, who was placing his phone on a stand nearby, suddenly saw Xia Wange's face close to the screen. He was slightly stunned. For some reason, he looked away in panic, "What are you looking at?"
After saying this, Lu Qiucai felt annoyed in his heart, wondering why he was so nervous.
"I'm looking behind you." Xia Wange said.
Pupils shrank slightly, Lu Qiu straightened his back immediately, stared at the screen, and asked dryly: "What happened behind me?"
"I'm looking to see if there's a workaholic ghost behind you." Xia Wange moved away from the screen and curled her lips. "Otherwise, why is President Lu still working overtime at the company at this time every day? You're no longer like yourself."
"Then...what did you see?" Lu Qiu's gaze lingered on Xia Wange's raised lips for a moment, and then his gaze swept across the other's eyes.
Xia Wange had to get up early to visit other masters two days ago, so he went to bed early at night. They just said good night to each other.
Today he knew that Xia Wange was done with her work and would not get up so early the next day, so he timed it to video chat with her. A long time ago, when he didn't have someone he liked, Lu Qiu didn't understand why couples had to stay together. He felt that independent people should do independent things, and feelings were just a short intersection of two independent lines. It was best for each of them to focus on their own interests.
But now...
As he watched Xia Wange fly away from his city with no fixed date for return, Lu Qiu felt that his heart had left his body and was beating for another person.
And his heart was clamoring to see her all the time.
That's why he couldn't wait to start the habit of video calling them, and fortunately she didn't refuse.
Lu Qiu didn't know whether it was because he was secretly in love with her or something else, which made him so anxious and itchy.
Fortunately, he still had some sanity and knew that he had a lot of people to take care of, so he could only work hard, deal with the things that should be dealt with, and give all his time to her.
"I've noticed that there's no workaholic ghost behind you, but if you keep going like this, I'll have to light some incense for you next time we meet." Xia Wange leaned against the headboard and tilted her head slightly. "There's some incense I left at the bottom of your drawer. Smell it and see what you like. After you die suddenly and become a ghost, you won't have a sense of smell."
Lu Qiu chuckled, "Don't worry, I'll make sure I get enough sleep."
He didn't know what happened, but he felt that Xia Wange seemed to become very relaxed all of a sudden, as if she had unloaded some burdens and became more lively.
It’s not that she wasn’t lively before, but now she seems to be able to jump higher.
Just like in the past, she would definitely say that you are a child of luck and nothing will happen to you, but now she seems to have let go of something.
After thinking for a while, Lu Qiu asked, "Have you had a good chat with the masters these days?"
Xia Wange raised her eyebrows slightly, and couldn't help but sigh that Lu Qiu was really too perceptive. She thought about it and nodded, "I have indeed gained a lot, and I am slowly digesting and figuring out some things. In the past, the world was just a passerby to me, and time was the only thing I wanted to grasp, but now I am ready to try to embrace this world."
Lu Qiu stared at Xia Wange for a long time, and then asked, "Have you figured out how to hug?"
"Let it be." Xia Wange said, "Follow your heart."
"Master, I understand." Lu Qiu chuckled, "But I haven't understood it completely yet."
Hearing Lu Qiu accurately describe her thoughts, Xia Wange rolled her eyes at Lu Qiu in anger, "Don't you know how to see through it but not say it out loud?"
He didn’t know if it was because his eyes had a built-in filter, but Lu Qiu felt that Xia Wange’s expression seemed to have something... something he had never seen before... well, softness.
Just as Lu Qiu was about to deepen the topic, Xia Wange said quickly: "I don't want to talk to you anymore. Du Yun asked me to finalize the itinerary for tomorrow's trip. Bye."
Lu Qiu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Have fun, good night."
"good evening."
Watching the other party quickly hang up the phone, Lu Qiu's gaze lingered on the chat interface between him and Xia Wange for a while. After checking the time, he continued to work.
Why didn’t I realize before that Du Yun had such a poor eye?
Xia Wange's Beijing tour program can be considered as customized. The route is planned very well, and Xia Wange is determined not to get tired. I heard that it was Xiao Doudou, a local, who read a lot of travel guides and worked out a two-week tour route that is annoying to locals but very popular with outsiders.
Du Yun acted as the driver. After picking up the two Xiao brothers, they came together to pick up Xia Wange, and then started a new day of running. During this period, only Xiao Doudou was absent for one day, and the rest of them were all present.
On the last day, Du Yun and Xia Wange had a family dinner, so the travel plan was slightly changed to rest during the day, eat at night, and set off in the early morning, in order to catch every scene.
The two of them went there to watch the fun, so they were dressed very casually.
On the way to Du Yun's house, Du Yun deliberately stopped by the roadside, then took out some food from the back seat and shared it with Xia Wange.
"Sister Xia, come, let's eat first. We may not be able to eat later. I just bought this on the way. Please make do with it." After Du Yun said this, he opened a burger.
Xia Wange took a look at the burger and chose the fried chicken leg on the side.
Du Yun added: "Don't eat too much fried chicken, it's oily, or you might vomit later."
"???" Xia Wange looked at Du Yun, "Is it so exaggerated?"
"I've been sick of hearing what they said before." Du Yun finished eating in no time. "But that was in the past. I won't do that now, but I'm afraid you will."
After thinking for a while, Du Yun said again: "Forget it, Sister Xia, you should eat more. You have been so easy to talk to these days that I almost forgot your fighting ability."
When traveling, Xia Wange resolutely follows other people's plans without saying anything. She just does whatever the planners arrange and never complains.
Sometimes I would also help them take photos of tourists. When they took photos of her, they would just point to the station and the photos would be taken in one go without having to be redone.
Sister Xia, who had hidden her edge, made Xia Wange extremely deceptive, and they realized that she was just a 22-year-old young girl. Although they called her Sister Xia, they would take better care of her in their actions, even though she didn't need it.
After all, Sister Xia has amazing physical strength. She climbed the Great Wall without stopping, and when she climbed a mountain, she would go up to sightsee, check in, and then go down the mountain directly without any rest.
After they had a simple meal, Du Yun took her to his large villa in the suburbs.
Standing at the entrance of the villa, Xia Wange could see from afar the bright lights on the villa, the clinking of glasses, and the men and women dressed beautifully. She turned to look at Du Yun and said, "You said, is this a family dinner?"
Du Yun casually pulled at his casual jacket, "The company is my home, and we all have to take care of it. It's a family business, and most of the executives are relatives. Since we're all relatives, it's a family dinner. And I'm Party A of my father's company now, so I belong to my grandfather's generation, so it's a pure family dinner."
Xia Wange glanced at her sneakers and sweatpants and nodded, "Okay, that makes sense. It's a family dinner."
So the two people, whose clothes were out of place from the others, walked up the stairs together.
In such occasions, people may not take a second look at you if you dress up carefully. But if you enter wearing a sports outfit, even someone who is about to go blind will take a second look at you before he or she goes blind.
Especially since Du Yun is still in the midst of a power struggle, he has attracted a lot of attention. Of course, so has Xia Wange.
But the two were not afraid.
After entering, Xia Wange felt many eyes focused on her. Everyone had a different expression, but the most prominent ones were the three standing in the middle of the hall.
Stepbrother Du Yu gloated over his misfortune, stepmother Fu had a playful look in her eyes, and Du Yun's biological father had a gloomy expression.
Just one glance and Xia Wange's radar was alerted. She raised her hand to cover her mouth and whispered, "Did your stepbrother and stepmother not tell you that your family banquet was changed to this kind of semi-business banquet?"
Du Yun also covered his mouth like Xia Wange did, "Yeah, they're still being mysterious. I already knew it a long time ago. They wanted to embarrass me. I would have been embarrassed before, but now I don't care about them. It's funny. I dare to come even if I'm wearing shorts. They really think my family has a lot of money."
Xia Wan Ge: “…”
"Forget about the big shorts. I'm afraid of going to jail."
Du Yun: “…”
When he was about to say something else, Du Yun saw the family of three coming towards him.
Du Yun calmly brought two drinks and gave one to Xia Wange, "Sister Xia, do you want me to take care of you?"
"What do you think?" Xia Wange took the drink. "I'll walk around your house later. I feel something."
Hearing this, Du Yun hurriedly said, "Sister Xia, just treat this place as your own home. If there is anything wrong, just tell me so I can run away immediately."
Xia Wan Ge: “…”
Stepmother Fu was walking in front. Just as she was about to speak, Du Yun made a prompt decision and said directly, "Aunt Fu, why did you stop my card? I can't even buy clothes for the party!"
No matter what, let’s pass on the blame first, and then think about what to say next.
She originally wanted to show her virtuous side by putting the blame on Du Yun for his inappropriate clothing. After the old man got angry, she came out to mediate. However, she was stunned by Du Yun's shout.
She frowned and said, "When did I..."
"Oh, I read it wrong." Du Yun lowered his voice and said with a smile, "My card was working normally, it just didn't work well at that time."
Stepmother Fu looked at the pointing eyes around her, and her hands holding the wine glass were shaking. Why are you saying this in such a low voice now?
At the same time, Father Du, who only heard the first half of Du Yun's words, came over with a frown and looked at Stepmother Fu, "What's going on?"
Stepmother Fu widened her eyes, looking here and there, "He, I, he..."
She was so angry that she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
"It's okay, Dad. I made a mistake. I'll go change my clothes now." Du Yun said with a smile, "I thought we were just having a meal at home. I didn't know it was such a big deal. It's mainly because I've been with Lu Qiu for a long time and have fewer social events. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Hearing the other party bring up Lu Qiu, Father Du glanced at Du Yun and didn't say anything else. He just said, "Say hello to your uncles first."
"Okay."
So they left. From beginning to end, neither Dad Du nor Stepmother Fu gave Xia Wange any extra glances. It was obvious that they were being disrespectful. The meaning was clear: you are not from our class, and we asked you to come here just to humiliate you.
Of course, this humiliation phase should be left to others.
Xia Wange took the drink, turned his head to look in the direction of the villa's gate, raised his eyebrows slightly, and began to walk around the villa according to the direction.
"Are you Miss Xia?" A sudden voice came, "People here all drink alcohol, and generally don't drink beverages."
Oh, the one who attacked her is here? But she still has something else to do.
Xia Wange turned around and bumped into the other person, "I'm not from here, I'm from another place."
The visitor's face froze slightly. When she heard that the other party deliberately misinterpreted the "here" she mentioned as referring to the class as a foreign place, she sneered, "Miss Xia is quite courageous."
"That's really only a few points of courage." Xia Wange said quickly, "The remaining ninety points are all just looks."
