Whilst looking at Tang Xiu’s confused expression, a smile emerged on the corner of Long Zhengyu’s mouth as he said with a smile, “You didn’t know that Long Xueyao is my elder cousin?”

Tang Xiu replied with an astonished expression, “She turns out to be your cousin? I really didn’t know that. But nevertheless, I’m the one who ignored this point, though. Not too many people have your Long family’s name, to begin with. Your family name is Long, as well as hers; while she’s also the Property Manager of South Gate Town, so it’s no wonder that she’s your relative.”

Long Zhengyu replied with a laugh, “Well, it’s not like it’s an unpleasant thing to have, no? Anyway, in order not to make me a lot more depressed, you’ve gotta stay here and drink a few glasses with us tonight.”

Tang Xiu shifted his sight at Andy as he nodded and said, “Alright. I’ll stay and accompany you to drink a few cups. Anyways, this is Andy, Kang Xia’s right-hand woman. She’s actually here waiting for Kang Xia to attend a charity auction party and got starved waiting. That’s why I ordered the dishes for her to eat first.”

With an amazed expression, Long Zhengyu said, “Andy? The extraordinarily ‘big’ famous succubus, Andy?”

“Mr. Long, the words you said, was that supposed to be a praise or a curse? I might not be too proficient in Mandarin, but savoring the taste of your words, it seems like the flavor is kind of unbecoming, don’t you think so?” Andy said with her lovely smile.

“Ugh…”

Long Zhengyu’s complexion was strangled as he secretly rolled his eyes inside. A foreign girl who said she wasn’t particularly proficient in Mandarin but yet was able to understand the subtle meaning behind his words? As he shook his head, Long Zhengyu let out a forced smile and said, “It’s my bad to have misspoken out of indiscretion. Those people who say that you’re a succubus are truly blind. You’re very lovely as though a fairy that descended to the mortal world. If later on there are still people speaking that you’re like a succubus, those people are complete and total jerks.”

“Hee hee…”

Andy let out a laugh that reverberated as a pair of her two big lethal weapons on her chest waved and surged forth. All the young men present, including Tang Xiu, couldn’t help but secretly swallow their saliva upon seeing it.

It was seductive and way too tempting!

As young and vigorous as they were, the four young men couldn’t help but whisper inside their hearts one after another: _‘You’re neither a succubus nor an angel, but a seductive-coquettish young demoness who can wreck a country and bring ruin to the people!’_

“Cough cough…”

Tang Xiu coughed to conceal the awkwardness inside his heart as he spoke to divert the focus, “Long Zhengyu, I just recalled that your little brother hasn’t come to harass me recently. Do you know where he is?”

Upon hearing this, Long Zhengyu shook his head and said with a smile, “He’s leaving for Blue City. I don’t know what that kid is thinking. He unexpectedly spoke to my father and said that he wanted to set up his own enterprise. He said he’d mix in first in Blue City before going to Shanghai to develop himself further, as well as asked five million yuan from my father. It’s been a couple of days since he has gone to Blue City, and he hasn’t contacted me since.”

“Ah, it turns out that he’s really leaving Star City?” Tang Xiu was astounded.

“Huh? You seem to know about it. Care to tell me?” With a curious expression, Long Zhengyu asked.

“Well, I can say that he left because of me. I told him that he won’t have a bright future if he’s always under the shelter of you and your parents’ wings. Even though he’s very smart and has a keen sense of business. However, he lacks ambition. I did stimulate him, but I never imagined that he’d really go to the outside world, though.” Tang Xiu replied with a smile.

Fei Shan and Huang Xu glanced at each other. The both of them knew Long Zhenglin’s character inside out. As surprised as they were, for Long Zhenglin to listen to Tang Xiu and adhere to his opinions was something that they had never imagined, causing their impression toward Tang Xiu to deepen a bit at this instant.

Huang Xu said, “Young Master Long, your second brother ran away to Blue City, and he didn’t even contact me? Man, did we not have enough camaraderie? Ah, whatever. I’ll look for him when we go back there. Regardless of any businesses he wanna do, I’m gonna help him and give him green lights to open his way.”

Fei Shan also said with a smile, “I might not be able to help in anything if he’s in other places. But in Blue City, our words are quite useful. I know your little brother. He’s kinda, well, quite wild and unruly, and it will be inevitable for him to come across some of the Blue City’s local bullies. That reminds me of something, what line was it? Ah, that’s right, there’s a common saying that a wicked person will be bedeviled by another of the same ilk. But heck, you can rest assured that we’ll be looking after him in Blue City!”

Long Zhengyu grabbed the blended imported fine wine on the table and poured it into Tang Xiu’s cup. Then, he raised his own cup and said, “To express my thanks and respect to all of you. Let’s drink…”

As the wine entered his stomach, Tang Xiu squished his lips as he shook his head and said, “I have heard about these imported wines, but never had a chance to drink any. But, the taste is quite unpleasant! As I recall, we also have quite strong liquors brewed in our country, don’t we?”

Fei Shan’s eyes lightened up as he immediately walked toward a cabinet at the side. Then, he grabbed a bottle of wine that was still wrapped in it’s package and went back to his previous position. As he handed the bottle to Tang Xiu, he said, “Brother Tang, you’re also a man. You know that men like us like to drink strong liquors. So, you wanna try tasting this wine I brought from Blue City?”

Tang Xiu took the bottle as his sight landed on a sticker with the written slogan: “Serve the People!” on top of the bottle. As he also saw the yellowish glutinous rice wine inside the bottle, he said with astonishment, “Isn’t this the legendary special wine supply?”

Fei Shan gave his thumbs up and exclaimed, “You do have good eyes, Brother Tang! This indeed is a special good wine supply for PLA military district. My big brother is a Chief of Staff in the Northern Theater Command and he brought back this wine to give my grandfather, while I just happened to sneakily get my hands on it. I heard him saying that this wine is nearly thirty years old as it has been cellared in the Northern Theater Command’s cellar and only just came out six months ago.”

Tang Xiu smiled faintly. Let alone drinking good wines that merely aged for three decades, he had even drunk quite a lot of good wines that had been cellared for thousands of years. However, on Earth, the thirty years old cellared wines were already considered quite good wines.

He opened the bottle and poured the wine into four cups.

As he drunk up the wine from the cup, he immediately felt a strong fragrant and mellow taste lingering on his tongue. It was as though there was a fire that went down through his throat and finally burst out inside his chest, as the strong heat flowed and quickly entered his stomach and spread out to his limbs and skeletal bones.

“Ah, it’s really great and comfortable!”
