Chapter 731: Being Stared At
Translator: Udeze Editor: Udeze
Chen Xiaowan was very busy recently, staying up late all night and terribly fatigued. She could finally relax after having finished an unprecedented large project. Despite being young and energetic, she still rested in her place for two plus days before she recovered.
She only had a few friends in Shanghai, while the colleagues she had something in common with were even rarer. She still had three or four days left on holiday after recovering, and while today was Sunday, she eagerly rushed to Bluestar Villa to look for Tang Xiu to stroll around.
“Do you have free time today, Sis?” Tang Xiu asked as he walked down the stairs to the living room.
Chen Xiaowan got up and smilingly said, “Got nothing to do today, so I came here to find you. Anyways, are you free today? Care to accompany me shopping?”
Tang Xiu recalled his activities and found that he had nothing to do today, so he readily agreed. He had a special affection for Chen Xiaowan as a younger brother—a feeling he cherished very much.
After having breakfast, the two of them then headed to the garage, picked up the cheapest car inside, and then drove to the bustling block of Shanghai. Strolling down the streets, shopping, tasting foods, and even visiting the cinema in the afternoon until the evening, the duo then casually looked for a restaurant.”
“You have a problem with your legs, Sis?”
After ordering the dishes and handing the menu back to the waiter, Tang Xiu looked at Chen Xiaowan, who looked a bit weary.
Chen Xiayu blanked for a moment, and a bit dispirited look flashed on her face before she let out a thick smile and said, “It’s nothing. Maybe I’m just a bit tired after strolling all day long.”
“That is not a state caused by tiredness, Sis.” Tang Xiu shook his head. “There’s no need to hide anything between us, Sis. Tell me, what exactly happened?”
Hesitating, Chen Xiaowan force a smile and said, “Did you mean my left leg? Actually, I was seeing a client last week, but then it turned out that the man was a pervert and wanted to molest me, and then threw an ashtray at me. It hurt just a bit at the beginning, but it lasted for a week and doesn’t hurt too much if I don’t walk around for long.”
A client?
Tang Xiu frowned and asked, “Who is this client?”
“He’s just an ordinary client whose business was already in the yellow.” Chen Xiaowan waved her hand. “Anyways, I don’t want to talk about that man again. Anyways, Brother, there’s something bugging me, can I ask you something?
Tang Xiu observed her, and seeing that she did not want to talk about it, he did not have a choice but to suppress his doubt and say, “Alright, I’ll answer you frankly. Ask anything you want.”
“I really can’t figure out how my company’s Big Boss turned out to be your subordinate, brother?” Asked Chen Xiaowan. “Moreover, the respect she shows you is beyond that of the respect of a subordinate to her superior. Did you feed her some kind of bewitching potion? How come she is like someone whose secret is grasped by you?”
Hahaha. Tang Xiu could not help laughing and said, “Your younger brother has a charming personality, so of course my subordinate will naturally obey me. Besides, Kuwako is benefitting from me, so of course, she will value my words very much. Umm, how should I say it? Ah, your younger brother is kind of a nouveau riche billionaire now.”
Pffft… Hahaha.
Chen Xiaowan could not help laughing. She charmingly rolled her eyes at Tang Xiu. Suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes as she asked with a bit of expectation, “How about you accompany me to a certain place tonight?”
“Where?” Tang Xiu immediately asked. He did not expect her to suddenly ask him on a whim and even seemed to look forward to it.
“Well, there’s a gathering for my university graduates, my fellow students. I originally did not intend to attend it, but with you to accompany me I suddenly want to go.”
“How can I go? It’s the gathering of your university’s graduates.” Tang Xiu was at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh, and then continued, “I don’t even know anyone among them.”
Chen Xiaowan thought that Tang Xiu was correct. Her expression turned dark and said helplessly, “Then I won’t go since you don’t want to. Anyways, what are we gonna do after dinner?”
“I’ll take you to a good place!” Said Tang Xiu with a smile. “You can enjoy the leisure and entertainment there by yourself if you have some free time later.”
“What is the place?”
“The Paradise Manor.”
Two hours later, Tang Xiu arrived at the Paradise Manor with Chen Xiaowan. After passing through the entrance, however, Chen Xiaowan’s face turned strange. And after they came to the parking lot inside, she could not bear to pull Tang Xiu’s sleeve and say in a toned down voice, “Brother, we already came to this place, are you going to gather with that group of my fellow students over there?”
Fellow students?
Tang Xiu was stunned and asked with a surprised expression, “Eh? Your fellow students’ gathering is being held here?”
“Yeah.” Chen Xiaowan nodded. “Some of my fellow students are local nouveau-riches here and mixed quite well after graduation. They are also the ones who arranged this college class reunion.”
“Alright, then! Just tell me the specific place.” Tang Xiu nodded after giving it a thought. “Wait there and I’ll see you later. I’m going to see the owner of this place to get two bottles of good wine.”
“Do you know the owner of this place?” Chen Xiaowan was surprised.
