Chapter 92: The Beloved Little Cousin
The best?
Everyone looked at each other, confused.
Xu Huizhou didn't plan to say anything more.
They had already moved to a new private room, but a few smokers were still smoking, and the room was also filled with a faint smell of cigarettes. Although it was not strong, it still made Xu Huizhou frown in disgust.
He stood up listlessly, took the windbreaker from the waiter and put it on, then calmly said "I'll be back first" and pushed the door open and walked out. His series of actions were extremely cool, and everyone present was stunned.
The box quickly fell silent after he left. A dozen or so second-generations looked at each other in confusion. A chubby-faced young man mumbled, "What's wrong? Who made him angry again?"
The young man with peach blossom eyes pulled the sweetly smiling waitress into his arms, and caressed her unscrupulously, causing the girl in his arms to giggle.
"Who knows, he has a temper!"
"You're not still angry with you, Wei Ke!"
"It shouldn't be. Maybe there is something wrong at home..."
The young men who grew up together knew Xu Huizhou a little bit. Knowing that he had forgiven him, they would not dwell on the past anymore.
Everyone felt relieved. The Xu family was powerful, so they naturally didn't want to offend Xu Huizhou. Then, realizing that his mood had nothing to do with them, they put aside their concerns and started to play around.
However, Xu Huizhou's departure allowed them to put aside their concerns and start having fun. The private room soon began to fill with smoke again. A few young men summoned waiters to serve drinks, and the strong smell of alcohol filled the air. Women's voices and giggles filled the air, creating a chaotic scene.
The lights in the box flickered, illuminating a group of cheerful second-generations. Wei Ke, who was sitting in the corner, took out his mobile phone, opened his social account, and saw that he had not received a single reply to the message. A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes.
My girlfriend hasn't contacted him for a few days...
I don't know how she is doing recently.
Thinking about the grand birthday party that the Xu family had organized for the cousin who had just returned home, Wei Ke couldn't help but worry.
Meng Ran is weak and kind-hearted, and I wonder if she's been bullied these past few days...

After leaving the box, Xu Huizhou did not go home directly, but rushed to the largest luxury goods center in Mingzhu City.
The Luxury Center is located in Guangyuan Building in the center of Mingzhu City. The entire building is five stories high, and each floor is a counter branch of various luxury brands from all over the world.
Perfumes, cosmetics, clothing, jewelry, bags... Whether it is for men or women, all kinds of luxury goods are available, making Mingzhu City a well-deserved luxury paradise.
The weather was cold and it happened to be winter vacation, so most people didn't like to go out. Therefore, there were few pedestrians coming and going in Guangyuan Building.
However, the cold weather cannot stop the store owners' determination to make money. After the winter comes, most luxury stores have also thoughtfully provided in-store and online service modes to ensure that consumers can choose suitable products.
Most of the Xu family's clothes are custom-made, and they usually replace a batch every quarter. Even if they are custom-made, they have someone come to their home to provide style options and measure sizes, and they rarely buy in physical stores.
So when Xu Huizhou stood in front of the luxury store, looking at the dazzling array of luxury goods, he frowned, not knowing how to choose.
He actually had everything he needed, and he didn't come here to buy anything for himself. He just wanted to pick out a luxury item as a gift for his cousin's birthday.
only……
Xu Huizhou frowned after looking for a long time, and his eyes and brows were full of annoyance. He impatiently threw the last piece of jewelry in his hand back into the jewelry box.
"These are all the things you have in your store? Don't you have anything better?"
The shop owner standing by looked at the gem bracelet thrown back into the jewelry box with some pity, and said with a smile, "I'm very sorry, sir, this is already the best jewelry we have here..."
The best?
What's the best thing about this?
Xu Huizhou frowned, somewhat unconvinced.
The luxury goods store owner, ever mindful of her customers' emotions, gave a helpless smile. She wasn't lying; these pieces of jewelry were the most valuable in her store. It wasn't an exaggeration to call them the store's treasures, considering each piece cost an eight-figure sum.
But she didn't expect that such jewelry still couldn't catch the boy's eye.
If she hadn't been sharp enough to recognize that the clothes and watch on the boy were not ordinary items, she would have thought that he was a thug sent by a rival brand to cause trouble in their store.
To be fair, the treasures of luxury stores are not bad. The pure and clear gems are inlaid on finely carved silver ornaments. They shine brightly under the bright lights in the store and are extremely gorgeous. Such magnificent jewelry is enough to attract the attention of most women.
But Xu Huizhou still felt it was not enough.
The girl's jade-smooth neck appeared in his mind again, and Xu Huizhou felt even more dissatisfied.
Such jewelry is not worthy of his cousin.
"Return to the boat?"
A surprised male voice sounded. Xu Huizhou turned around and looked over. He saw a man and a woman standing in front of the store, followed by several bodyguards in black suits.
A tall, handsome man in a windbreaker strode into the store, shouting. A petite girl followed behind him, wearing a thick coat and furry earmuffs. The wind blew her nose and cheeks slightly red.
Xu Huizhou didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here, so he also greeted him: "Xie Langtian."
The boy quickly walked up to Xu Huizhou, glanced at the store manager with a wry smile on his face and the jewelry on the glass display stand that had been opened and looked a little messy, and said in surprise:
"It's so cold, and you're still going out to buy jewelry? Why don't you just have it delivered to your home?"
Families like them don't need to go through the trouble of going out to buy things themselves in the middle of winter. At the very least, they can just ask a servant to go out and buy things for them.
Xu Huizhou smiled and said, "My cousin's birthday is coming soon. I'll pick out some jewelry as a gift."
Xie Langtian's family also received the Xu family's invitation. He nodded in understanding. Noticing his unhappy expression, he asked hesitantly, "What's wrong? Didn't you find anyone you like?"
Xu Huizhou nodded critically and reservedly.
Xie Langtian took another careful look at the jewelry in front of him. The Xie family was also from a wealthy family, and they had seen countless pieces of jewelry. They had some discerning eyes, so they naturally saw the value of these pieces of jewelry, and were even more surprised.
The price of these pieces of jewelry is over 10 million, but you are still not satisfied?
He remembered that the cousin from the Xu family was only seventeen years old, and giving her a gift worth one million was enough in his opinion. Unexpectedly, this good friend did not even care about the gift worth tens of millions.
Xie Langtian was silent for a moment, then said, "I think these are pretty good too. Why don't you think these styles are good?"
Xu Huizhou shook his head. He didn't know much about jewelry, but his mother and several aunts and uncles also loved expensive jewelry, so the more he saw, the broader his horizons became.
The styles of these jewelries were not too bad, but they were not outstanding either. In Xu Huizhou's opinion, they were just ordinary. Even the various colored gemstones that embellished them seemed slightly inferior to him.
Xu Huizhou looked down on it.
He also felt that such jewelry was not worthy of being worn by his little cousin.
So, he said honestly, "The style is ordinary, the jewels are ordinary, and they are not worthy of my cousin."
Xie Langtian paused when he heard this, and looked at his childhood friend in front of him with an indescribable look. If he wasn't worried that he would get angry, he would have wanted to check if he had a fever.
Not worthy of my cousin?
Look.
Is this something that the young master of the Xu family, who has no sense of romance and only has a pretty face, can say?
It's only been a few days since we last saw each other. Could it be that his childhood friend has been possessed by someone else?
Xie Langtian was secretly amazed, but no matter how much he wanted to complain, he kept it to himself and didn't dare to say a word, for fear that some black-hearted guy would take revenge on him later.
"Hello, Brother Zhou."
A soft female voice sounded. Xu Huizhou glanced at the girl behind Xie Langtian and nodded as a response.
Xie Mingzhu pursed her lips, suppressing her excitement, but her voice was unconsciously filled with a little joy: "I heard that Sister Meng Ran caught a cold again recently. How is she now?"
Xu Huizhou replied: "It's no longer a big deal."
"Oh." Xie Mingzhu nodded slowly, then raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the boy in front of her brother. The boy was almost an adult, with long arms and legs, and was 1.8 meters tall. He looked handsome and elegant in a long windbreaker.
She stole a glance, then couldn't help lowering her head, her cheeks reddening even more by the cold wind, and said in a muffled voice, "Brother Zhou, can I go see Meng Ran?"
Xu Huizhou said patiently: "Of course, just bring it up with Meng Ran."
The Xu family is wealthy, and to protect people's safety, the Xu family's old house has set up a strong security system. It is possible to visit, but it must be approved by the Xu family in advance.
Xie Mingzhu smiled, two dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth, and she said sweetly: "Okay, thank you Brother Zhou."
Xu Huizhou didn't look at her. He was sure that the jewelry store didn't have what he wanted. He was impatient to stay here any longer and was ready to go home.
Seeing him about to leave, Xie Langtian couldn't help but ask, "Not choosing anymore?"
"I won't pick."
Xu Huizhou looked down on these and couldn't find anything that suited his taste no matter how hard he tried.
Xie Langtian was puzzled: "Then the gift you want to give to your cousin..."
Xu Huizhou held his phone in one hand, not knowing what he was saying. He kept it a secret and said, "I've already chosen a gift."
"I'm going back first."
Watching the people walk out of the store, Xie Langtian touched his chin, with a thoughtful look on his face.
He knew the character of this childhood friend very well. As the young master of the main branch of the Xu family, he had been raised like a star since childhood. He had a handsome appearance and was regarded as a male god by the girls in the school. He was the most rude to girls.
She is usually cold and aloof, acting like a flower from a noble family. She is not very nice to her little cousin, but this time she is so eager to come out and buy a gift for a cousin she has only known for a few days?
