Chapter 66: The Old Man of the Restaurant
Hearing Ning Yan's words, Xu Ya's body relaxed a little.
But there was still uneasiness in her eyes.
In fact, she was not nervous because it was the first time she came to Jinyumantang and was shocked by the luxury facilities here.
She was constantly worried about being kicked out.
If you are forcibly asked out, it will undoubtedly be very humiliating, just like the nouveau riche who was put out some time ago, and he has become the laughing stock of the whole city.
She doesn't have anything herself, and she doesn't have any impact, but Ning Yan Gongzi can't be so embarrassed.
While Xu Ya was thinking nonsense in her little head, the waiter who had previously introduced the two of them to the Welcome Pavilion pushed the door again and walked in.
Behind him, there were several young men, men and women, warriors and ordinary people.
The waiter politely said to the group of young people who had just entered the Welcome Pavilion: "Please wait here, Steward Mo will come to receive you in person soon." ”
One of them, a young man dressed in a sumptuous costume, nodded casually to the waiter, looking quite impressive.
This person's name is Hua Xiangyu, and he is the second son of the current patriarch of the Hua family in Jiangbei City.
The Hua family is also a big family in Jiangbei City, and although its overall strength is not as good as the four major clans of the Zhu family, the Ning family, the Liu family, and the Su family, it is also a leader among the second-rate families.
At yesterday's recruitment meeting, a young child from the Hua family participated, but in the end he was not selected for admission.
Beside Hua Xiangyu, a young woman dressed in a bewitching dress hooked his arm and said coquettishly: "Brother Xiangyu, this golden and jade hall is really magnificent, and it is the first time for people to come." ”
The young woman looks good, but her makeup is a little heavy.
Hua Xiangyu smiled, gently patted the jade hand on his arm, and said, "Follow me, you can often come to the golden jade hall in the future." ”
The young woman immediately laughed and trembled, and said with great joy: "Brother Xiangyu, I know that you love me the most." ”
The other people who came with Hua Xiangyu also chuckled a few times.
One of them said: "Eating in a hall full of gold and jade is not something that ordinary people can afford. A meal is hundreds or thousands of gold coins casually, and I don't dare to come often anyway. There is only Brother Xiangyu, who can treat the golden jade hall as his own home. ”
"That's it."
"Haha, speaking of which, Brother Xiangyu always invites us to eat at Jinyu Mantang, I'm a little embarrassed."
These young warriors spoke out one after another, and there was no lack of compliment to Hua Xiangyu in their words.
In fact, none of them are ordinary people, maybe they don't have much ability, but their elders have a certain identity in the city.
Otherwise, Hua Xiangyu would not have taken them to play together.
Hua Xiangyu said indifferently: "It's all brothers, don't be so polite, it seems to be raw." Besides, how much gold can you spend on eating, drinking, and drinking? ”
The young woman almost leaned her body against Hua Xiangyu, and said in a delicate voice: "Brother Xiangyu, we will live in Jinyu Mantang at night, okay?" I've heard that the rooms here are very interesting. ”
"Good! Good! In the evening, we stayed in Jinyumantang. After a while, the careless will come, and I will let him arrange it. Hua Xiangyu said.
At this time, Xu Ya's brows moved.
She felt that the voice of the woman who spoke was somewhat familiar.
She looked up, and the woman was turned sideways, not sure if it was someone she knew.
And after Xu Ya raised her head, Hua Xiangyu's eyes just turned to this side.
After seeing Xu Ya's naturally beautiful face, the second son of the Hua family suddenly lit up.
The woman in his arms is certainly very beautiful, but compared with the woman in his sight, what he has in his arms is rouge and vulgar powder.
He stared at Xu Ya with straight eyes.
Feeling the slight changes in Hua Xiangyu's body, the young woman seemed to realize something. She turned her face suspiciously, followed Hua Xiangyu's gaze, and also looked over.
"Xu Ya?"
"Zhao Ruyi?"
Two women called each other's names at the same time.
Xu Ya did know the woman in Hua Xiangyu's arms, not only did she know, but she was also very familiar. In fact, they grew up in a compound.
This compound is located in the south area of Jiangbei City.
When Xu Ya was thirteen years old, her father owed a huge amount of money because of gambling, and ruthlessly left the mother and daughter to escape from Jiangbei City, and since then the world has evaporated. The house they lived in was forcibly taken away by the creditor. Since then, only Xu Ya has been left with her sick mother to rely on each other.
Over the years, outsiders don't know how much Xu Ya has suffered and how many eyes she has suffered. Hunger and cold, that's all the time.
It wasn't until recently that the situation of the mother and daughter was a little more stable because of the encounter with Ning Yan.
After Xu Ya was forced to leave the compound in the south of the city with her mother, she met with Zhao Ru less and less, and now the connection is almost completely broken.
Hua Xiangyu's eyes reluctantly withdrew from Xu Ya.
He smiled and said to Zhao Ruyi: "Ruyi, do you know this young lady?" ”
Zhao Ruyi's body stiffened slightly, of course she knew Hua Xiangyu's thoughts very well.
Although she has not been with Hua Xiangyu for a long time, she already understands who the other party is. Before him, the second son of the Hua family had at least hundreds of women.
Just now, Hua Xiangyu looked at Xu Ya with the same eyes, as if he was going to eat that woman.
Subconsciously, Zhao Ruyi hugged Hua Xiangyu's arm tighter, and instantly felt a hatred for Xu Ya in his heart.
Although Xu Ya didn't do anything, she felt that the other party's appearance here was a huge mistake. If Xu Ya hadn't appeared here, Hua Xiangyu wouldn't have seen her.
Hua Xiangyu frowned: "Ruyi, why don't you speak?" ”
Zhao Ruyi didn't dare to disobey, and forced himself to chuckle and said: "I knew each other before, but I am not very familiar with it." ”
Hearing this, Xu Ya's expression changed slightly.
Originally, she was very happy to meet her childhood playmate. But the other party's words made her feel sad.
The smile of joy on his face dimmed.
Hua Xiangyu's eyes flashed: "Since you know each other, how can you not introduce it?" Rest assured, Ruyi will always be my little baby. ”
The second son of the Hua family obviously saw Zhao Ruyi's thoughts. The next word after him is relief.
Sure enough, Zhao Ruyi's face instantly became gloomy.
She threw a wink and said coquettishly: "Brother Xiangyu, her name is Xu Ya." Before, we all lived in a compound in the south of the city. It's just that a few years ago, Xu Ya and her mother were kicked out of the compound, and we rarely had the opportunity to meet each other after that. ”
Hua Xiangyu narrowed his eyes: "Since they are old friends, they should sit down and catch up on the old days." ”
As he spoke, he walked over with Zhao Ruyi, Xu Ya, who had already stood up.
The young warriors behind him glanced at each other, each with a look of understanding on their faces.
They also followed Hua Xiangyu over.
