Chapter 168 Let’s go to the old house for dinner!
The smile on Song Yichuan's face disappeared immediately, and he put the teacup back on the table neither lightly nor heavily.
"Are you treating me today to thank me or to piss me off?"
Xu Shaoyu raised his eyebrows, "Of course it's to thank you."
Song Yichuan looked at Su Yue, who was concentrating on drinking tea. "Does he look like he's sincerely thanking you?"
Su Yue immediately looked up at the sky and said, "Don't involve me in your affairs. I am a simple person and I can't get along with people like you who are cunning and scheming."
Song Yichuan was instantly furious, and suddenly felt that he had been really crazy to help Xu Shaoyu from dawn to dusk during this period of time.
Seeing that he was so angry that he didn't want to talk, Xu Shaoyu smiled and shook his head.
"You're just too proud to let go. You've been waiting for so many years, so don't act so arrogant in front of He Zaiyun."
"If this stalemate continues, either He Zaiyun will find someone else, or after this project is over, he might go abroad again."
Song Yichuan's expression changed slightly. He paused for a few seconds before looking at Su Yue with dissatisfaction, who was still looking at the ceiling and drinking tea.
During this period, Xu Shaoyu was injured and hospitalized. It seems that he only said a few words about these things when he was drinking with Su Yue?
"When did Young Master Su become such a loud speaker, spreading all my stories everywhere?"
"What do you mean by spreading it everywhere?" Su Yue retorted guiltily.
"Second brother is not someone else. I just saw him lying in the hospital every day bored a while ago, so I just shared his recent situation."
"Besides, among the three of us, only the second brother has successful experience. Maybe he can teach you a few tricks?"
Just at this moment, Yan Ruo came back with mineral water and saw that Song Yichuan looked unhappy.
While opening the water bottle and pouring water for Xu Shaoyu, he asked quietly, "What are you talking about? You look so serious."
Xu Shaoyu picked up the water cup, took a sip leisurely, and replied with a smile, "Nothing, just exchanging successful experiences."
This look doesn't look like they are exchanging experiences, but rather discussing some national affairs.
Yan Ruo shook her head and didn't ask any more questions.
After the dishes were served, Xu Shaoyu and the other two ate while chatting about the Zhao family's recent situation. Yan Ruo focused on eating and helped Xu Shaoyu pick up some dishes from time to time.
Seeing that Xu Shaoyu seemed to be enjoying himself, he ate whatever Yan Ruo picked up.
Su Yue finally couldn't help it and spoke to Song Yichuan in a voice neither loud nor soft.
"Oh, luckily, my second brother only injured his left hand. If his right hand was injured, he would have to be fed to his future second sister-in-law."
Song Yichuan also followed the Yin-Yang Dao, "Yeah, I haven't even eaten much of the meal yet, but I'm already full."
Yan Ruo glanced at Xu Shaoyu, then lowered her head to eat her meal embarrassedly.
On the contrary, Xu Shaoyu snorted lightly without changing his expression, "What kind of sour grapes is this? If you are envious, just say it directly. I won't laugh at you."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Yue with dissatisfaction, "Second sister-in-law is second sister-in-law, calling her future second sister-in-law is really ugly."
Yan Ruo silently reached out his hand from under the table and pinched Xu Shaoyu hard.
Seeing that he frowned and stopped talking, she smiled awkwardly, "Young Master Su, just call me by my name, Yan Ruo."
Su Yue glanced at Xu Shaoyu, his lips curled up in a smile, "This is so bad, my second brother will say I'm impolite."
"If you don't like the title of future sister-in-law, why don't I just call you Sister Ruoruo? It makes it seem like we're close."
Xu Shaoyu glanced at him dissatisfiedly, "You still talk so much nonsense during the meal."
Su Yue pursed his lips and glanced at Yan Ruo helplessly, as if to say, "See, I knew my second brother would have an opinion."
But jokes aside, serious business cannot be delayed.
Because Xu Shaoyu couldn't drink alcohol, although he asked the waiter to decant the red wine as soon as he arrived, Su Yue and Song Yichuan didn't drink much.
When they were almost done eating, Su Yue seemed to remember something and spoke with a gloating tone.
"I heard from my brother this morning that the Zhao family is completely ruined this time. I'm afraid Zhao Hongyi will have to stay in there for the rest of his life."
Song Yichuan was puzzled. "Based on the evidence you have found now, it shouldn't be that serious."
"Not really." Su Yue smiled.
"But when the wall falls, everyone pushes it. Seeing that the Zhao family is about to fall, some people will certainly seize the opportunity to come out and seek revenge and redress their grievances."
Xu Shaoyu looked as if he had expected this. He tapped the table lightly with his fingers and lowered his eyes to think for a moment.
"Those who do evil will eventually perish. If that's the case, then we might as well add more fuel to the Zhao family's fire."
Su Yue instantly became interested, "Second brother, what do you want to do?"
Song Yichuan shook his head and said, "If you were this enthusiastic about other things, your old man would be much less angry."
Su Yue was dissatisfied, "The old man is always angry. He can't stand anything I do. Don't blame me." Then he continued to look at Xu Shaoyu with expectation.
He really looked eager to learn. Not only Yan Ruo, but even Xu Shaoyu couldn't help laughing.
After a long while, he said casually.
"Do you remember how the Zhao family got that project in the east part of the city two years ago?"
Su Yue replied without hesitation, "I got it by defeating the Xu family."
Song Yichuan chuckled, "You really are talking about something that is not related to the topic." This was a rare failure experience in Xu Shaoyu's life.
The Zhao family has been gradually declining in recent years, while the Xu Group has continued to expand.
The year before last, Xu Shaoyu was personally responsible for bidding for the project in the east of the city.
It should have been a sure thing, but unexpectedly it was snatched away by the Zhao family in the end.
At that time, Xu Shaoyu had just taken office as the president of Xu Group. Because of this incident, he was often criticized by people from Xu Erye's faction, causing a lot of trouble.
Later, Xu Shaoyu specially asked someone to investigate where the Xu family lost.
Yan Ruo still remembered this incident. "The result of the investigation at that time was that the Zhao family paid a large sum of money to bribe the person in charge of the bidding party."
"Oh, I see." Su Yue suddenly realized, "You want to make Zhao Hongyi's crime even more serious, and also add the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Zhao family."
Glancing at Xu Shaoyu who was in a good mood, Song Yichuan added.
"I'm afraid it's more than that. Once this matter is exposed, it will also implicate the people who were involved in the bidding at the time."
Xu Shaoyu looked at Su Yue with a smile, "Just consider it as a gift to your elder brother."
Su Yue's eyes lit up, "Then I'll tell big brother right away that good days are coming for me."
Song Yichuan couldn't help but laugh, "It's like you've been eating coarse food and suffering every day."
Su Yue was dissatisfied. "Suffering is not just about material suffering. You didn't see how much pressure I have to endure psychologically when I return home and have to face a group of elites. When I go out, I have to face the two of you."
In order to avoid his nagging complaints, Song Yichuan quickly picked up the teapot and added tea for him.
“Yes, yes, Master Su has suffered.”
Yan Ruo wanted to laugh just looking at it.
Xu Shaoyu watched the show for a while before turning his head and speaking to Yan Ruo.
"Grandma called earlier and told us to go to the old house for dinner tomorrow night."
