Chapter Twenty-Four: Five Million
This villa is very large, and it is magnificent, quite royal style, but it is a little strange that there is a statue in the hall, not like other rich people like to put any landscape pictures, or national heavy products, but a statue of Guan Gong.
Combined with Xu Zhihao's style and practices yesterday, Zhang Xiao basically guessed that Xu Zhihao might have been on the road before.
The room was very large, and after entering, I happened to see Xu Zhihao and his wife eating, and when he saw his daughter coming back, he immediately smiled and said, "Have you played, have you eaten?" Seeing Zhang Xiao behind her again, she was surprised: "Hey, you are the one from yesterday, called ......"
"Zhang Xiao. Xu Linglu introduced.
"Yes, yes, Zhang Xiao. Xu Zhihao stood up and said politely: "Come, Zhang Xiao, sit down." Then he said to the servant beside him, "Go and get two pairs of chopsticks." ”
After Xu Linglu's mother saw Zhang Xiao, she asked curiously, "He helped us Lu'er yesterday?"
"Well, thanks to him. Good guy, you didn't see that video, he beat more than 50 people by himself, and it was solved in a few clicks, which is even more amazing than those who make TV series. Xu Zhihao was also shocked when he saw the video of Zhang Xiao beating those fifty people when he reviewed the incident last night.
"He's fifty at a time, I don't believe it. Xu Linglu's mother Ding Fangying didn't believe it, she saw that Zhang Xiao was thin and tall, not like a powerful person, how could she beat more than fifty people.
"Really, I don't believe it'll show you the video in a moment. Xu Zhihao liked Zhang Xiao and said for him.
At this time, the maid brought the dinner plate, Xu Linglu hurriedly helped Zhang Xiao put it up, and said softly: "Sit down, let's eat some more together." ”
"Didn't we just eat?" Zhang Xiao was a little helpless, thinking that it would be good to just send her in, but she didn't expect to eat, the key is that they came back after eating.
"Eat some more, sit. Xu Linglu pulled Zhang Xiao to sit beside her, this action was very intimate, which made Zhang Xiao feel a little tired, but she still sat down honestly.
After sitting down, Ding Fangying asked while eating, "Zhang Xiao, right? What do your parents do? Where do you work?"
"My parents are farmers, and I work in the city, a waste recycling company. Zhang Xiao replied honestly, a bit like a son-in-law seeing his mother-in-law.
"Farming, waste recycling company? Hmph, interesting. Ding Fangying was slightly disdainful, "Then what are your plans in the future, or are you going to continue to mix there?"
"In the future, I plan to live a good life first. This is Zhang Xiao's real plan for the future, after that disaster comes, everything will become unimportant, only alive is important.
"Alive?hahaha, are you about to die?" Ding Fangying didn't know what Zhang Xiao was talking nonsense, and always felt that he was not in the right mouth.
"Mom!" Xu Linglu shouted, feeling that her mother was talking a little too much. said to Zhang Xiao again: "Don't mind, my mother sometimes speaks a little straight." ”
Zhang Xiao shook her head, didn't care, turned her head to Ding Fangying and said, "Maybe I'm really dying, or maybe you're dying, it's really hard to say who dies in front and who dies in the back." But I still sincerely hope to die before you, so that I deserve it. ”
Zhang Xiao said that it was naturally after the disaster, with his thoughts, it must be able to save as many people as possible, even if he dies by then, then this life is not in vain.
"What nonsense are you talking about, how can you curse others to die when you come to someone else's house for the first time? Do you want us to die?" Ding Fangying slapped the table and yelled directly.
Xu Linglu and Xu Zhihao also felt strange, and they didn't know why Zhang Xiao suddenly said this.
Zhang Xiao stood up and said apologetically: "I'm very sorry, Auntie, I'm also a very straight person, so please Haihan." This dinner is destined to be inedible, and if there is a chance in the future, let's see you again. ”
Zhang Xiao was about to leave as she spoke, Xu Linglu hurriedly took Zhang Xiao's hand and said, "Zhang Xiao, don't go." He turned to her mother and said, "Mom, Zhang Xiao didn't mean that, why are you angry?"
Ding Fangying saw that her daughter began to protect the kid, thinking that her daughter was probably poured ecstasy soup by this person, and snorted coldly: "Am I angry? I'm just a little louder, can't he stand it? Since he is so stingy, why do you come to our house." ”
Zhang Xiao thought to herself, it wasn't Lao Tzu who wanted to come, it was your daughter who pulled Lao Tzu in, you thought Lao Tzu wanted to come in. But when Xu Linglu's face was really revealed, it was difficult to say anything after all, and he didn't bother to bother with this kind of person, so he smiled, put aside Xu Linglu's hand and prepared to leave.
But Xu Linglu held on to it and said to Ding Fangying: "Mom, do you have to be like this? Since this is the case, then I will go with him." ”
"Lu'er, don't mess around. Xu Zhihao was slightly angry when he heard his daughter say such things because of an outsider.
"Are you going with him, will you drink the northwest wind with him?" Ding Fangying always thought that Zhang Xiao was here to pursue her daughter, and she saw that Zhang Xiao had no ability, so she rejected him. At this time, when she heard that her daughter was going to go with Zhang Xiao, she couldn't help but sneer, "Do you know why he approached you? Isn't it because of your father, if it weren't for your father's wealth, do you think he would have waited until now?"
"Mom, you're talking too much, Zhang Xiao is not such a person. Xu Linglu argued. Although she only got along with Zhang Xiao for a day, she didn't think that Zhang Xiao was the kind of person who was greedy for money, and she wouldn't be with her because of her father's money, as her mother said.
What's more, they're not together yet.
"Not that kind of person?" Ding Fangying snorted coldly, stood up, took out a check from the side of the bag, and then threw it to Zhang Xiao, "Here are five million, as long as you leave my daughter, my five million will be yours." Of course, you can also choose not to, but I can tell you that you have no results, I will do everything to stop you, and when the time comes, you will not get a penny, I see how you choose. ”
"Mom, Zhang Xiao is not the kind of person who is greedy for money, how can he take your money, he ......" Before Xu Linglu finished speaking, he saw Zhang Xiao take the check over, and said to Ding Fangying with a smile: "Thank you aunt." ”
He said to Xu Zhihao and Xu Linglu: "Since this is the case, then I will leave, never see each other again, and say goodbye." ”
"???" Xu Linglu was stunned on the spot, she was defending Zhang Xiao, saying that he was not the kind of person who was greedy for money, and it was impossible for him to leave him for a mere five million. But she didn't expect that, before she finished her words, that guy actually took the money, and he received it so comfortably.
Seeing the back of Zhang Xiao leaving, Ding Fangying sneered: "Look, this is the person you are looking for, I said earlier, most of these people are approaching you for money, especially these poor boys." I don't have any fart skills, and I think about finding a rich woman all day long and getting rich overnight. I don't want to think about why other rich women take a fancy to you......"
Xu Linglu was still there, and he didn't hear what Ding Fangying said later, but he felt that the past two days had passed a little foggy, like a dream, but it was not a dream, because of how real he was.
But she didn't feel much sad, she was just grateful to Zhang Xiao, but now that the other party has taken the money, she can be regarded as repaying the kindness, so what's the matter.
It's just that her heart is still messy, and Zhang Xiao's performance seems to have been unexpected by her. From the coldness when they met this morning, to the idleness with nowhere to put it, to the current "forgetting the righteousness of profit", it all surprised her, it seems that this person has always played cards so unreasonably.
"What is he?" Xu Linglu asked in her heart, although she still wanted to find out, but tonight's events had already told her, it was impossible.
Zhang Xiao, who walked out of the gate of Xu's house, looked at the check in his hand and couldn't help laughing, "This trouble is completely solved." Thinking of getting rid of this family, especially that beautiful girl, Zhang Xiao couldn't help but praise herself for "really a genius".
Just thinking that this might hurt Xu Linglu's heart, I felt a little self-blamed. But I really can't help it, her mother speaks so ugly, who can withstand it. And Xu Linglu is so beautiful, she will definitely cause a lot of trouble in the future. Now as long as you collect the five million, all the troubles can come to an abrupt end, so why not?
When she returned to the dormitory, there was still no one inside, and the fat man was still at the door of Wang Mumu's house, escorting her. Chen Peng is naturally in the company, and as for the other roommate, Zhang Xiao has never been in contact with him very much. It's not that the relationship between the two is bad, it's that the person's mobile phone is often turned off, and even if it is turned on, the signal is not much better.
I remember that when Li Mo left, he said, "Try to contact as little as possible, brother is on the way to find the stars and the sea." ”
The stars and the sea in his mouth, so far, Zhang Xiao only knows that it includes the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Taklamakan Desert, and the other is Shennongjia. One thing that all three places have in common is that some of them don't have very good signals.
Originally, when the graduation ceremony was held, Zhang Xiao tried to contact him, but he did not get in touch, and it was not until ten days later that he received a few catties of dried yak and a letter sent back from Tibet.
There are only a few words on it, just a few lines.
"I have climbed the highest mountain, I have looked up at the nearest stars, everything I hope is happening, and I think I am lucky and happy. ”
"It's just that someone has sent a letter now, and there is only one line on it, 'The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband'. I think my mission has arrived, and I have to complete it, so I don't have to think about me, and I will see you soon. ”
At the end of the letter is "Best friend Zhang Xiao." "The time is May 4, 2022.
When he received the letter, Zhang Xiao read it for a long time, and finally muttered to himself: "I wish you all the best." ”
Among the four people, the closest to Zhang Xiao is the fat man, but the one with the most tacit understanding is the far-away traveler, Li Mo.
In Zhang Xiao's view, Li Mo is a truly free and easy person, and he has completely lived what he wants to live. That's why they're good friends and not anyone else.
Those who travel far are far away, and those who stop are also watching. There is no banquet in the world, and those who are destined will meet each other.
Zhang Xiao lay on the bed, thinking that the next time I saw him, maybe everyone would have changed.
I hope that the mountains and rivers will be safe and secure at that time.
