Chapter 163: A Late Visitor
In the splendid restaurant, Huo Beixiao and Gu Nanyin sat opposite each other. In front of them are more than a dozen delicacies from all over the world, all of which are made by world-renowned chefs. In normal times, it is not as simple as spending money to eat the food they cook.
The maid poured a bottle of red wine that had been treasured for many years into the glasses of the two of them in turn. Huo Beixiao raised his glass first, his eyes fixed on Gu Nanyin's cheek.
"This is our first meal in our new home, and we have to eat and drink to our heart's content."
Gu Nanyin also raised her glass and nodded, but there seemed to be some kind of concern hidden in her demeanor.
After taking a sip of wine, the two of them began to taste the dishes. Huo Beixiao was eating, and suddenly asked Gu Nanyin.
"Are you still worried about whether those people will come?"
Gu Nanyin raised her eyes and gently wiped her mouth with a napkin.
"Bei Xiao, since they have all greeted you, it seems that it is better for us to wait a little longer."
Huo Beixiao waved his hand lightly, "There's no need." If they don't come so late, it means that they have changed their minds temporarily. I didn't get angry at them for breaking the contract, it's already very face-giving. ”
Gu Nanyin moved her lips, in fact, she had always had a question in her heart, but for various reasons, she never asked.
"If you have anything to say, you can say it directly, and I am willing to discuss problems with you during dinner."
Huo Beixiao's urging without warning caught Gu Nanyin a little off guard, but soon, she sighed with a wry smile. Because she is very emotional, now Huo Beixiao can guess her every move. On the surface, this seems to be a burden, but from another point of view, isn't this a manifestation of a man's deep love for himself?
Thinking of this, Gu Nanyin's mood instantly relaxed a lot. She picked up her favorite dishes with chopsticks, and asked Huo Beixiao questions while savoring them.
"Bei Xiao, I would like to know what role the four major families played in your acquisition of Starlink Island?"
Huo Beixiao just concentrated on eating, as if this problem was not worth his more energy to think about.
"I gave them enough benefits that they gave me this piece of cake. Of course, I would treat the four of them differently. Some of them I can continue to be a partner, while others I have to guard against them from causing trouble for me in the future. ”
When Gu Nanyin heard this, he was a little surprised, "What do you mean by this?" Who's going to mess with you? ”
Huo Beixiao swallowed the dish in his mouth slowly, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Qian Hao and Sun Shi, the two of them are not good things compared to Zhao Jiayin and Li Chengxun. Maybe if I'm not careful, these two people will cause me trouble on the territory of City B. ”
Gu Nanyin muttered and shook his head, "Wouldn't it?" The Qian family and the Sun family are both local wealthy families, will they do despicable things? ”
Huo Beixiao glanced at Gu Nanyin, and then continued to eat.
"In the face of interests, the so-called quality of wealthy families is floating clouds. Nanyin, look, whether they come tonight or not, there is something to say about it. ”
Gu Nanyin frowned slightly, she knew that Huo Beixiao was not afraid of the sky, and even if people in the business world had prejudices against him, they didn't dare to expose it too much. But when people gain a foothold in society, they naturally want as few enemies as possible. Especially the people you care about, no one wants them to be hurt for no reason.
Just as Gu Nanyin was thinking about how to persuade Huo Beixiao, the old housekeeper Jason walked in from outside the restaurant.
"Mr. Huo, you wait for the guests to come."
As soon as these words came out, Gu Nanyin couldn't help but put down his chopsticks, while Huo Beixiao should eat and drink, and it didn't seem to be affected in any way.
"Are all four here?"
"No, it's just Miss Zhao Jiayin and Mr. Lee Seung-hoon."
Huo Beixiao raised his head, sneered and glanced at Gu Nanyin. He then instructed Jason to lead the guests into the living room and order the kitchen to make a new table.
A few minutes later, Huo Beixiao and Gu Nanyin met the visiting Zhao Jiayin and Li Chengxun in the luxuriously decorated living room. After some greetings, the two sides sat down in turn.
Zhao Jiayin looked at Gu Nanyin, her face full of sincere joy.
"Miss Gu, congratulations on tying the knot with Mr. Huo! When I first heard the news, I was so happy! Because in my heart, I always felt that you were a good match! ”
Gu Nanyin's face flushed slightly, she didn't expect Zhao Jiayin to mention this matter as soon as she came up. Although she was a little caught off guard, Gu Nanyin could still feel the sincerity of Zhao Jiayin's blessing. She also admired the girl and felt that the other person's personality had some similarities with herself.
"Thank you for the good news! I'm glad to hear your blessings. ”
Originally, the atmosphere of the conversation between the four of them was about to develop in a cordial direction, but Huo Beixiao suddenly asked Li Chengxun a question, which completely subverted this trend.
"Mr. Li, when are you and Mr. Zhao going to get married? I'm waiting for a drink. ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Chengxun and Zhao Jiayin's faces suddenly turned red like apples. Gu Nanyin next to him glared at Huo Beixiao, suggesting that he retracted such an embarrassing question.
However, Huo Beixiao's face was indifferent at this time, as if he didn't realize that his words had made a mistake at all.
"What? Are you still embarrassed to say? ”
Lee Seung-hoon was forced to have no choice but to give a reply.
"Mr. Huo, Jiayin and I are still ...... Not to the extent you say. ”
Huo Beixiao nodded.
"Oh, is that so? Then you have to come on. ”
Li Chengxun secretly glanced at Zhao Jiayin, although he was very embarrassed at this time, he was a little grateful to Huo Beixiao in his heart. Perhaps after this test, the relationship between him and Zhao Jiayin can take advantage of the situation to move forward.
In order to bring the atmosphere back to normal, Gu Nanyin made up her mind to speak in person.
"Bei Xiao, don't talk about such an embarrassing topic in front of them, this makes people so embarrassed! Dinner is ready now, so let's go to the restaurant and talk while eating. ”
To Gu Nanyin's relief, this time Huo Beixiao followed her advice and got up to lead the guests to the restaurant for dinner. Along the way, Zhao Jiayin praised Gu Nanyin for the decoration style of the castle, she is artistic, so she is particularly sensitive to aesthetics.
"Miss Gu, I really like the decoration and landscape here. If you don't dislike it, I'd like to come back in the future, okay? ”
Gu Nanyin took Zhao Jiayin's hand and nodded very happily.
"Absolutely! We're good friends, and you're always welcome to play. ”
Hearing Gu Nanyin say this, Zhao Jiayin was really happy in his heart.
When I came to the restaurant, it was indeed replaced by a new table of banquets. After the guests and hosts took their seats, Gu Nanyin took the lead in getting up and toasted Li Chengxun and Zhao Jiayin.
The four of them chatted while eating, as if there was no estrangement at all. Unfortunately, this harmonious atmosphere did not last long.
