Chapter 529 (2/2)
“Is that your business?” Blurted out Han Qingwu.
Tang Xiu was silent for a moment, as he then replied in a wry tone, “Teacher Han, I’m sincerely inviting you to dinner, though I don’t know why your mood isn’t good. If you really don’t have time, then forget about it. I’ll invite you some other day. All right, then I’ll hang…”
“Where is it?” Feeling that Tang Xiu was going hang up, Han Qingwu hurriedly asked, yet she immediately regretted it.
“Come to the Everlasting Feast Hall! I’ll be there waiting for you,” said Tang Xiu.
“En!” Han Qingwu replied as she hung up the phone directly.
She didn’t understand what was happening to her at this moment, and why she couldn’t control her emotions when facing Tang Xiu.
_Had she fallen in love with him? Or is it because of jealousy?_
Han Qingwu thought that it was indeed that, yet she felt that it wasn’t entirely correct as well. She felt that ever since she heard Tang Xiu’s song and zither play at the Shanghai University’s freshmen welcoming party, as well as after those images kept appearing inside her mind, Tang Xiu’s importance became more prominent in her heart all of a sudden. Even without her realizing, she often thought and missed Tang Xiu; his face, his every move, word, and smile.
_Why would those pictures keep appearing inside my mind? I’ve lived for more than 20 years and I have never once encountered anything like in those pictures whatsoever. I shouldn’t have that kind of memories at all, but why?_
Han Qingwu rubbed her head. Amid a headache, she suddenly remembered that Tang Xiu invited her to dinner tonight. In a flash, she bounced up from the sofa and dashed into the cloakroom at a speed beyond the limits of an ordinary person.
_At the Everlasting Feast Hall…_
Inside the deluxe box on the third floor, Tang Xiu was sitting and immersing himself in his thoughts while drinking tea and smoking a cigarette. In the past two weeks, despite the fact that his days were quite busy every day, he still couldn’t fulfill what he had promised on some business deals, though those issues had been finished as of now.
_Ring, ring, ring…_
His mobile phone interrupted his train of thought, as Tang Xiu grabbed it and saw that the number was from an unfamiliar Beijing number. He creased his brows and immediately pressed the answer button and said, “Tang Xiu speaking, may I know who am I speaking with?”
“Hello, Grandmaster Tang. It’s Situ Chao here. I and someone from the Jinmen and Li Families have arrived in Shanghai. Where are you? We’re looking for you now!”
Tang Xiu pondered for a moment and slowly said, “Take care of your accommodations first. I’m currently having dinner with someone. After I’m done with it, I’ll come over to you and bring what you need.”
“No, no. How can we dare to make Grandmaster Tang come to find us? How about you tell us a place to go and we’ll wait for you there?” Said Situ Chao hastily.
After hesitating, Tang Xiu replied, “Then head to the Bluestar Villa Complex! I live in villa #9 there. I’ll be back as fast as possible.”
“All right!”
After the phone call ended, Tang Xiu shook his head and smiled. Just as he was still thinking as to when those three parties from the Occult Sect would come to Shanghai to get their stuff they suddenly arrive. However, he just invited Han Qingwu to dinner, so he couldn’t ignore her just like that, or else it would be quite hopeless for him if he were to ask her for help later.
In the front counter on the first floor.
While holding a smile, Chi Nan cheerfully greeted the arriving and departing guests. When Han Qingwu, donned in casual attire, came inside, Chi Nan discovered that she had obviously put on makeup, which intensified her beauty.
“You’re here, Teacher Han!”
“Tang Xiu told me to come find him here. He should already be here, right?” Han Qingwu said with a faint smile.
“The Boss is here and has been waiting for you in the box on the third floor. I’ll lead you upstairs!” Chi Nan smilingly replied.
“Thank you!” Han Qingwu nodded and thanked her.
“Please don’t be so polite, Teacher Han,” said Chi Nan with a smile. “You’re a friend of our Boss, so entertaining you well is my duty. Anyways, you look so gorgeous today, Teacher Han.”
Han Qingwu dazed, and her beautiful face slightly blushed. When she remembered that she put on makeup, she nearly covered her face. She suppressed her awkwardness and squeezed out a smile, “Thank you, Manager Chi, you too look very beautiful today.”
“Nah, I’m not that good. I’m an old woman already,” said Chi Nan with a smile. “If I were at your age, I would’ve definitely taken Boss’ heart from you.”
