At noon, the two came to a restaurant. After ordering, Lu Shiyan went to the bathroom. Wen Ning sat alone at the dining table, supporting his chin, staring at the blue sky outside in a trance, his eyes full of joy.
"Now that you're back home, you're not leaving?" Mo Xiangnan looked at his long-lost brother with a delighted expression, his tone filled with anticipation and excitement. When the two families were young, they were family friends and often met up to play. Later, they moved overseas to develop their careers, and the two brothers rarely saw each other, only occasionally seeing each other when they went on trips abroad or when they returned to pay respects to their ancestors. Over the years, the two brothers saw each other so rarely that they had thought they would never have the chance to work together again. Unexpectedly, he suddenly returned from overseas, saying he wanted to develop his business in China, and immediately did him such a big favor. If it weren't for him, how could his family have stabilized so quickly? He was probably afraid that he would have lost millions to barely stabilize the situation. He was deeply grateful to him, and after he finished his work, he invited him to try his most famous mushroom soup.
Song Yunshu smiled and nodded: "I won't leave. This time when I return to China, I will rely on Brother Mo's support." His eyes were firm and confident, as if he was ready to take root here.
He had come back home prepared. After years of living abroad, he'd initially considered staying put, as his company was primarily based overseas. But his father said, "One returns to one's roots," and no matter how successful overseas business is, it's never as good as the small plot of land at home. So, at his parents' urging, he returned home to investigate the market. Once he settled in, his parents would gradually relocate their businesses back home and join him there. He had initially expected to face numerous challenges upon returning, but with the help of Uncle Mo's family, he'd adapted well and faced few difficulties.
Mo Xiangnan patted Song Yunshu's shoulder vigorously: "Okay! If you need any help, just let me know. We are friends!" His hearty laughter echoed in the air, making people feel his sincerity.
Everything he said came from his heart, without any falsehood, otherwise I wouldn't have been so close to him after so many years.
"Haha, Brother Mo, you're welcome! But let's not talk about work today. Let's enjoy the food first. It's been a long time since I enjoyed the domestic delicacies so much. The food I ate overseas in recent years was so terrible." Song Yunshu said half jokingly and half seriously.
The food abroad is indeed unpalatable. Once outside the country, it seems that even the best ingredients won’t taste good enough. Although the Chinese food I eat abroad is relatively good, it is far less delicious than the food in China.
"Yes! No more talking, today is a rare day off, so I'll let you experience what delicacies from land and sea are. These days, the food we cook at home is not so good, so today, let's try what the chef cooks." Mo Xiangnan pulled Song Yunshu into an exquisitely decorated restaurant. As they walked, they talked about each other's recent situation.
"Brother Mo, you are too polite. The chefs in your family are comparable to those in top restaurants." Song Yunshu complimented.
The restaurant was filled with tempting aromas, the lighting was soft and warm, and the background music was melodious. Mo Xiangnan and Song Yunshu walked to the window seat.
"The environment here is pretty good, right? I carefully selected this restaurant!" Mo Xiangnan introduced it to Song Yunshu proudly.
"Well, it's really good! Brother Mo is a person who knows how to enjoy life! In the future, I will rely on Brother Mo to take me to some good shops hidden in the corners of the city." Song Yunshu exclaimed.
"Haha, life is short, so of course we have to learn to enjoy it! We can get together here often in the future. Of course, if you want, I can also take you to some other places." Mo Xiangnan said with a smile.
"Okay! But next time I'll treat you, so don't compete with me!" Song Yunshu responded.
"Okay! That's settled!" Mo Xiangnan agreed readily.
Just as they were about to reach their seat, Song Yunshu suddenly caught a glimpse of Wen Ning, who was sitting by the window, grinning foolishly at the scenery outside, and the charming woman who was dancing hurriedly at the banquet.
He raised an eyebrow, and just as he was about to pull out the chair, his hand paused. Mo Xiangnan saw him pause and followed his gaze. His smile, which had been on his face just now, immediately faded. Who else could this be but that damned girl Li Yang's best friend? If it weren't for him that day, he wouldn't have been beaten so badly. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't have been targeted by the Lu family. He had been wondering why the Lu family would go against the Mo family, but later, he learned from others that it was because of her. He was furious. He felt so wronged. He had been beaten and suffered a loss. However, he accepted it. Who was it that Mo Xiangnan was not powerful enough to fight three people alone?
He leaned forward slightly and asked, "Brother Song, what do you think?"
"Yes, I know her. We met once. Miss Wen, Wen Ning. I thought, with Brother Mo's status in Beijing, you should know her, right?" Song Yunshu nodded and replied very naturally.
"I know him, and we even had some unpleasantness." Mo Xiangnan answered calmly. After all, this was not something that could not be talked about. With his ability, it would be very easy for him to find out, and there was no need to hide it.
"Oh, I didn't expect that someone like Brother Mo would have conflicts with women?" Song Yunshu was a little curious. Logically speaking, a man should not be so petty as to have conflicts with women, at least he should not be that kind of person.
"Alas, it's all in the past. Let's not talk about it anymore." Mo Xiangnan waved his hand and said, "Do you want to go over and say hello?"
"Since we've met, let's go say hello. After all, we're bound to run into each other in Jinghua in the future." Song Yunshu nodded and said, then looked at him: "Would you like to come with me to say hello and settle any grudges we have?"
"Hmph, I'm afraid this grudge will be difficult to resolve," Mo Xiangnan said self-deprecatingly. After all, Wen Ning was Li Yang's best friend. These two were well-known friends in the industry, so it made sense for them not to hold a grudge. If he appeared in front of her, he'd probably be ridiculed. He'd better be tactful and not appear in front of her, not to bother her or himself. After all, he wasn't sure he could win her over.
"Brother Mo, as the saying goes, it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. I think you'd better resolve it. If once doesn't work, try twice. If twice doesn't work, try three times. After all, it's better for the Mo and Wen families to be on good terms than to be enemies. If they can't be allies, at least they can't always have no contact with each other." Song Yunshu's sincere words woke Mo Xiangnan up. After all, if he wanted to gain a foothold in Jinghua in the future, he would have to deal with the Wen family. Thinking of this, he nodded and followed Song Yunshu.
"Miss Wen, we meet again."
