"Yuanmu, you're here." Zhou Nan spoke first. He pointed at Song Xuan and the place next to him and said with a smile, "Why did you let Song Xiaoer eat breakfast alone? Without you, he just took a few slices of bread and had no taste for it."
Song Xuanhe came back to his senses after Zhou Nan's teasing. He twitched his lips, looked away and said, "Since you're here, take a seat."
Xiao Yuanmu glanced at Hayden and Jiang Deyi standing beside him. When he saw the infatuated and amazed look on Jiang Deyi's face, his eyes darkened slightly, and disgust flashed in his eyes. After sitting down, he said lightly: "Who are these two?"
"Hayden Schroeder of the Schroeder family." Song Xuanhe introduced lightly: "Next to him is his friend Mr. Jiang Deyi. They want to share the table with me and buy the cufflinks I bought yesterday."
Xiao Yuanmu's eyes sank slightly, and he turned to look at the tall Hayden Schroeder. He knew the Schroeder family, but had never seen Hayden. He just didn't expect that someone from the Schroeder family would dare to steal his things.
Schroeder looked at Xiao Yuanmu with some doubt. For some reason, he always felt that he had seen Xiao Yuanmu's appearance somewhere. However, there was not much difference between the yellow people. Although he racked his brains, he could not remember when he had seen him before.
"It's been resolved now." Song Xuan didn't like Schroeder and the other man, but he also grew up in an aristocratic family, so he wouldn't ignore the introduction. However, it was just an introduction between the two sides, and he didn't want to say more.
After the introduction, Song Xuanhe supported his chin with his hand and looked up at Hayden and said, "Mr. Schroeder, do you have anything else to say?"
Song Xuanhe's voice interrupted Hayden Schroeder's thoughts. He didn't think any more. He glanced sinisterly at Song Xuanhe who looked distracted, and turned and left with Jiang Deyi who still looked a little dazed.
After the two of them left, Zhou Nan frowned and said, "The Schroeder family is sick. They asked you to buy the things you bought yesterday in public for a little lover, and they were aggressive and didn't feel ashamed."
Guan Zhi sneered: "He is from the Hoffman family. The Song family is no threat to him at all. He came here to ask for something and he must get it. How could he feel ashamed?"
Guan Zhi was used to speaking directly, and he did not shy away from saying that the Song family was not as good as the Schroeder family. But after he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that what he said might make Song Xuanhe unhappy, so he pursed his lips and looked at Song Xuanhe.
Song Xuanhe still propped up his chin and looked in the direction where Jiang Deyi and the others left. After noticing Guan Zhi's gaze, he said perfunctorily, "That's right."
Guan Zhi: ...
He snorted.
"The Schroeder family is nothing more than a dog of the Hoffman family." Guan Zhi raised his chin, glanced at him, and said arrogantly: "He won't dare to do anything to you after seeing me, you don't need to be afraid."
Song Xuan and Wan Yan: "Do you think I look scared?"
Guan Zhi choked, pursed her lips and glared at him again, then said coldly: "I don't care if you are afraid or not. Don't come to me if Schroeder troubles you in the future."
Song Xuanhe was about to reply when Xiao Yuanmu asked, "Is this all you're going to eat?"
"I'll go get you some more food." Xiao Yuanmu stood up, and with his slender white fingers, he grabbed Song Xuanhe's hand that was supporting his chin, held it in his palm and gently pulled it, and with his other hand, he opened his palm to catch Song Xuanhe's chin that suddenly dropped after losing its support, and stared at his eyes that were wide open with shock and anger, and said in a clear voice: "You were drunk yesterday, you should have some porridge for breakfast."
Song Xuanhe raised his chin and leaned back, trying to break free of Xiao Yuanmu's hand, but then he remembered that this was a public place, and Zhou Nan and the others were still around, so he could only hold back and said, "I'm full."
Xiao Yuanmu took it back and casually stroked his chin with the tip of his thumb. His eyes were clear and had a familiar warmth. He said, "Then accompany me to get some food."
Zhou Nan, who didn't eat much breakfast but had a mouthful of dog food, waved his hands vigorously, interrupting the staring at each other, and said disdainfully: "Go away, go away, go quickly, don't irritate my eyes here."
Xiao Yuanmu took advantage of the situation and pulled Song Xuanhe up. Under his glare, he bent his fingertips slightly, then rubbed his head as he wished, and said, "Let's go."
"Are you guys leaving or not?" Zhou Nan said, "If you don't leave, I'll leave."
Song Xuanhe glanced at Zhou Nan warningly, but before he could realize the deep meaning in his eyes, Xiao Yuanmu pulled him a few steps and walked directly out of the dining table.
It is almost ten o'clock now, and most of the passengers on the cruise ship have already gotten up. Although a large number of them have breakfast directly in their rooms, there are still more guests in the restaurant than when Song Xuanhe arrived.
When people with outstanding looks walk together, they will naturally attract more attention.
Song Xuanhe did not break free from Xiao Yuanmu's hand and let him pull him towards the food area. Even though he suppressed the speculation in his mind, when he thought of Xiao Yuanmu's expression last night, his instinct to seek profit and avoid harm told him that it would be best to wait and see.
"What kind of porridge do you want?"
Xiao Yuanmu's voice rang in his ears, and Song Xuanhe came back to his senses. He looked at the rich variety of porridge in front of him without changing his expression. He randomly picked one that he usually drank a lot of, and said to the waiter who was helping to serve the porridge, "Seafood porridge, thank you."
After taking the tray handed to him by the waiter, he turned to look at Xiao Yuanmu, only to see that he was thinking about something.
Xiao Yuanmu noticed Song Xuanhe's gaze, his eyes paused slightly, but his expression showed no emotion. He said to the waiter calmly: "Another bowl of seafood porridge."
Song Xuanhe didn't think much about it. Seeing Xiao Yuanmu take the seafood porridge, he was about to go to the restaurant. Then he heard Xiao Yuanmu say, "There are tomato and egg noodles over there."
He paused slightly, turned around and took a look at Xiao Yuanmu's expression, but didn't find anything different from usual. He retracted his gaze and said, "No need."
Xiao Yuanmu looked at the back of his head, something flashed across his eyes, and he said no more.
When the two returned to their seats, in addition to Zhou Nan and Guan Zhi, Xiao Shenglin and Xiao Ranyun were also sitting there.
When Xiao Ranyun saw Song Xuan and Xiao Yuanmu coming side by side, his expression was dazed for a moment, and then he frowned in confusion. When he saw Brother Yuanmu yesterday, even though there were lights on the plywood and the box, it was not as clear as in the daytime.
Yesterday she just felt that Xiao Yuanmu was very familiar and wanted to be close to him, but today she had an even stranger sense of familiarity.
She didn't know where that familiar feeling came from, but it made her stare at Xiao Yuanmu's face and unable to look away.
Noticing Xiao Ranyun's gaze, Xiao Yuanmu looked at her calmly. The temperature in his eyes did not rise much because of her, and his expression was still very cold.
Song Xuanhe walked side by side with Xiao Yuanmu, and naturally saw Xiao Ranyun's expression. Moreover, Xiao Yuanmu seemed to be gentler to her than usual to others yesterday, so he went to see Xiao Yuanmu's reaction first.
However, Xiao Yuanmu didn't react at all and remained as cold and distant as ever.
Song Xuanhe pursed his lips, sat down and said casually: "Lin Zi, I didn't ask more yesterday, how come I didn't know you had a sister before."
Xiao Shenglin smiled gently when he heard this: "Ran Ran is my cousin. We don't see each other very often, so I didn't mention it."
Xiao Ranyun was also brought back to her senses by Song Xuanhe's question. She smiled and said, "Because I have never been in China. In fact, most of the children in our family were sent abroad to study since they were young. Only my brother stayed in China. Although he went abroad for college, he came back after graduation, so we rarely see him."
"There are not many Xiao family members left in the country." Zhou Nan looked at Song Xuanhe like he was a fool and said, "You don't even know this, do you?"
Song Xuanhe's pupils shrank slightly. He paused for a moment, picked up another spoonful of porridge, swallowed it, and was about to speak when he saw Sun Jinren, with a messy hairdo, hurried over. As he walked, he anxiously said something to the person on the other end of the phone, and his fat body moved not slowly at all.
Xiao Shenglin and the others naturally saw it. Xiao Ranyun frowned on the spot, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and said, "How can I be so unlucky when eating breakfast in the morning?"
No one paid attention to Xiao Ranyun's words because they were all attracted by Sun Jinren's actions.
After Sun Jinren hung up the phone, he turned around and grabbed a middle-aged man sitting at the table next to him, leaned forward and said earnestly, "Brother Song, can you please do me a favor and talk to the captain to send a boat to take me ashore? My company has an emergency and I have to go back immediately."
Sun Jinren spoke loudly, and Song Xuan and the others heard it clearly. Xiao Ranyun opened his eyes wide in surprise and whispered, "He must be crazy."
This cruise ship sails for one day and two nights and will return to the coast of Blue City on the morning of the third day. However, it is now the morning of the second day, which means that this is almost the farthest distance the cruise ship has sailed. This is not the coast near the city, but the boundless ocean. If we had gotten off the ship yesterday, we could have called a speedboat to go back. At this time, it would be difficult to reach the land within a period of time.
Besides, even if we reached the coast, it would definitely not be the coast of Blue City.
Of course, the cruise ship has spare vessels for emergency use, but those vessels will hardly be used unless there is a real emergency, and the captain will not easily let the guests on the ship board that vessel. If they just want to take a speedboat to go fishing or play on the sea, it would be fine, but Sun Jinren wanted a speedboat to take him back directly.
Unless the captain has his mind filled with water, he will never agree to this.
It should be said that unless the guests on this cruise ship have their brains filled with water, they would not make such a ridiculous request.
So when Xiao Ranyun was surprised and said that Sun Jinren was ill, he didn't mean it in a derogatory way. He just thought that he might not be normal.
Song Ge, who was begging him, naturally couldn't agree. He frowned and said, "The cruise ship will dock tomorrow. If you have anything to say, you can also have a video conference. You must be there to rush over. And without special circumstances, the captain will not approve the ship to leave."
Sun Jinren was so anxious that his forehead was sweating. This was a matter concerning his entire fortune, so when he heard what Brother Song said, he was still anxious: "My company's affairs are really urgent. Brother Song, if you help me this time, I promise to give you a suitable reward in the future."
Song Ge frowned, and his expression was already very uneasy. However, considering that this was a public place, he just lowered his voice and said, "Even if it was me, the captain would not approve it. Do you think the captain of this ship is an ordinary person? He doesn't need to give me face at all. Forget this idea and wait for the cruise ship to dock."
"I'm done for if the cruise ship docks!" Sun Jinren raised his voice and said, "I can't wait any longer."
Brother Song's face turned completely cold: "You have to wait even if you can't. I can't help you unless you have the ability to get someone with a private plane to pick you up, or send the location to your men and let them drive their own boat to pick you up. Otherwise, the captain will not send sailors and give you an emergency boat."
The people around who heard this nodded secretly in their hearts. Zhou Nan smiled and said, "Song Jiani is impulsive, but Boss Song is cautious. Even when he was so angry, he calmed down and spoke politely."
This Boss Song is Song Jiani's father, and he was the one who brought Sun Jinren on this cruise ship.
Song Xuanhe frowned secretly, he didn't expect that the person who brought Sun Jinren to the cruise ship was Song Jiani's father. So when Sun Jinren asked him for the part about Xiao Yuanmu, was it just Sun Jinren's lust for her, or was there Song Jiani's guidance in it?
Also, although Sun Jinren is lustful and flattering, since he was able to start from scratch and support one of the top companies in his industry, he is definitely not a confused person. His behavior yesterday made it clear that he was very clear about the identities of the guests on this cruise ship. If it wasn't an extremely urgent matter, he would never be so anxious and lose his composure.
However, he remembered that the scene where Sun Jinren asked him for Xiao Yuanmu happened on the third day after getting off the cruise ship. The book did not describe whether Sun Jinren was in such a hurry to get off the cruise ship, but if such an urgent matter really happened, Sun Jinren might have solved it within three days, and on the third day he would have had the time and energy to participate in the party organized by the second generation of the imperial capital and asked him for Xiao Yuanmu?
Song Xuanhe had all kinds of suspicions in his mind, but Sun Jinren still did not let go of Song Jiani's father Song Qiyi.
I don't know what Song Qiyi said, but Sun Jinren has calmed down a bit. He also knows that there are many people here, so he lowered his voice when he spoke: "Someone is maliciously acquiring Jinren Group. There was no news before, but early this morning, that person has already obtained 20% of our company's shares. If this continues, I can't even keep the company."
Song Qiyi was really surprised at this time, and he also realized the seriousness of the matter, but he really had no way to get Sun Jinren off the ship, so he could only lower his voice and say: "I'll show you a clear way. The captain can't make an exception for you, but this place is close to the west coast of Neon Island. The Guan family has industries in Neon. If you can get Guan Zhi to give in, the Guan family's route will be easily approved, and you can be sent directly back to the country. Even if there is no route, as long as you can get Guan Zhi to say hello to the Guan family, there will be a Guan family ship to pick you up. Then you can go ashore and take the nearest flight back. It only takes a few hours from Neon to Blue City. If everything goes well, you can arrive at noon."
Sun Jinren's face turned pale, and he now completely realized that Song Qiyi really had no way to help him. However, he didn't know the heir of the Guan family at all, and he had heard before that this young master had a bad temper. It was impossible for him to approve the route for him just because of his one-sided statement. If he just sent a ship to pick him up, there might be some possibility.
"Brother Song." Sun Jinren said, "Do you know Mr. Guan's room number or contact information?"
Song Qiyi looked up and met Song Xuanhe's gaze from afar who was looking over here. He frowned slightly and was about to look away, but saw Guan Zhi sitting next to him.
Sun Jinren saw Song Qiyi's face change slightly, and couldn't help but follow his line of sight. When he saw Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu beside him, he didn't think much. He was almost bankrupt, so how could he have the energy to find Xiao Qinger, so he just asked: "Brother Song, what are you looking at."
Song Qiyi sighed slightly. Before, he hoped that his daughter would marry Song Xuanlin rather than Song Xuanhe, but his daughter was stubborn and liked Song Xuanhe, so he could only help her. However, he did not expect that Song Xuanhe would despise his daughter and embarrass her in public for a man.
At that time, he would agree to bring Sun Jinren on board, and deliberately bring him to the Song couple, so that Song Jiabao would reveal that Song Xuanhe was just playing around with Xiao Yuanmu, just to make him have evil intentions towards Xiao Yuanmu. Then he would join forces with Song Guochao to put pressure on Song Xuanhe, and Song Xuanhe would have to give Xiao Yuanmu to Sun Jinren.
However, he did not expect that in just a short period of time, Song Xuanhe, who had previously only hung out in that circle of playboys, suddenly changed his personality. Not only did he return to the upper circle and become friends with Zhou Nan and Wei Chen, but now on the cruise ship, he even sat at the same table with the heir of the Guan family.
If this is the case, he needs to reconsider his daughter's marriage. He previously thought that Song Xuanhe was easy to control, but now it seems that he might have been wrong.
Sun Jinren didn't know what Song Qiyi was thinking. Seeing that he was silent for a long time and his face was gloomy, he felt uneasy and asked, "Brother Song, what are you looking at? My matter is really urgent. How about you give me Master Guan's contact information first? I'm in a hurry to find him."
Song Qiyi sighed and said, "You don't have to look for him. Young Master Guan is sitting at the table with Song Xuanhe, next to Zhou Nan."
Sun Jinren was stunned. He looked over again and saw the young man chatting happily with Song Xuan and them. He felt a darkness before his eyes and there was no hope anymore.
Song Xuan and the others couldn't hear what Song Qiyi and Sun Jinren were saying in low voices, and they had originally stopped caring about it, but when they saw them all looking over here, they couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Guan Zhi frowned and asked, "Why does that fat guy always look here?"
Zhou Nan raised his eyebrows, "He not only looked here, but also walked over here."
Upon hearing this, several people looked over and saw Sun Jinren moving his fat body quickly towards them. The anxiety on his face did not decrease at all, but instead became more panic-stricken and apprehensive.
In just a moment, Sun Jinren had already walked to their table. He first glanced at Guan Zhi, then said to Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu, "Sun came here now because he wanted to apologize to Young Master Song and Mr. Xiao again for what happened yesterday. I drank too much yesterday, and I hope you can forgive me. When I go back, I will find whatever Young Master Song and Mr. Xiao want as an apology."
As soon as he finished speaking, the people at the table had different expressions, but Xiao Yuanmu remained calm from beginning to end, without any change.
Seeing that no one spoke, Sun Jinren gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Xiao, what I said yesterday was really stupid. As long as you can forgive me, I will definitely not say anything else and will do my best to compensate you."
There was no trace of emotion in Xiao Yuanmu's eyes, as if he did not hear what Sun Jinren said. He lowered his eyes and stirred the porridge in the bowl lightly. His jade-like joints were whiter than the porcelain spoon in his hand, and his slow movements were elegant and noble.
Sun Jinren was a little shocked. Although he was not from a noble family, he had dealt with many children of wealthy families over the years. He did not see it clearly on the deck last night, but when he saw it now, he was shocked to find that this little thing he thought was just a way to please people with its beauty was actually more calm and noble than all the young men he had seen.
Not only that, there is also a sense of oppression that only comes from being in a high position for a long time. Even a pampered young master would find it difficult to cultivate this kind of temperament. Only those who have been in a high position and given orders for many years will reveal some of it.
Sun Jinren was able to climb to this position after graduating from elementary school because he was extremely good at observing people's words and expressions, especially he had developed a pair of sharp eyes for judging people. He almost never made mistakes in judging people. It was precisely because he never offended any noble person who might help him that he was promoted all the way to this position.
Now, he saw a noble aura in an orphan, how could he not be surprised and suspicious.
Could it be that the Song uprising joined forces with Song Guochao to deceive him? Or did the Song family not want their son to be with a man and deliberately push him out to offend others?
The more Sun Jinren thought about it, the more scared he became. When he apologized again, his tone changed accordingly. He said with a hint of panic, "Mr. Xiao, I really didn't recognize the great man and offended you. I hope you will be magnanimous and forgive me."
The people at the table looked at each other, their eyes wandering between Sun Jinren and Xiao Yuanmu. They were neither deaf nor blind, so they could naturally see the fear hidden in Sun Jinren's expression and words.
But what did Xiao Yuanmu do to make Sun Jinren so afraid of him?
Song Xuanhe was also surprised, but he knew that Xiao Yuanmu could not do anything. Not to mention whether he had the ability to do anything, he knew very well that Xiao Yuanmu had been staying with him since he returned home last night, and it was impossible for him to go out and do anything to Sun Jinren.
"Why are you here?" Guan Zhi, who was the only one who didn't know what happened yesterday, said impatiently, "Don't disturb us while we're having breakfast if there's nothing else."
Sun Jinren suddenly came back to his senses, remembering that his company was still in danger, and the purpose of his coming here. He quickly turned to look at Guan Zhi and pleaded, "Master Guan, my company has an emergency, I want you to send a ship to pick me up and take me to Neon Country. Just take me to land, and I will definitely repay you in the future."
Guan Zhi looked puzzled. Sun Jinren was clearly looking for Song Xuanhe and Xiao Yuanmu just now, so why was he brought up again?
However, others understood. Sun Jinren had offended Song Xuanhe yesterday, and today he had something to ask Guan Zhi. Seeing that Song Xuanhe and Guan Zhi had a good relationship, he naturally had to solve the previous problem before asking someone to do something.
"Why should I help you?" Guan Zhi sneered. Although he didn't know what happened, he could see that this man had a conflict with Song Xuanhe before. Even if there was no conflict, he would not help such a stranger for no reason.
Xiao Yuanmu, who had been silent all this time, finally raised his eyes, his tone as calm and indifferent as his eyes: "Boss Sun, why worry? Your company has no way out. Why not have some fun on the cruise ship?"
Sun Jinren was startled, and when he met Xiao Yuanmu's cold look, his pupils suddenly shrank and his expression was filled with extreme horror and fear.
The news of the company's malicious takeover only came out today from last night. Before that, the only person he had offended and who might retaliate against him was the man in front of him!
