Chapter 734 (2/2)
Bai Sheng, who finally gasped for breath, wanted to lash out his anger again. After all, he was kicked under everyone’s watchful eyes, more so that the one who did it was such a dazzling belle—something very humiliating to him. But after hearing Tang Xiu being mentioned by his friend, he could not help but tremble, and his frenzied feelings also faded a lot.
“You… are you really Tang Xiu? From the Tang Family?” Bai Sheng’s attitude had drastically changed as well and asked with a cautious expression.
“You know me?” Tang Xiu frowned.
Bai Sheng’s heart thumped, nearly weeping. He never feared anyone and even practically ignored the elders of his family. But the fear he had toward that truly fierce and ruthless figure was genuine, and this figure was exactly Tang Xiu of the Tang Family from Beijing.
“Tang… Mr. Tang. I really apologize. I didn’t know the owner of this place is close to you. I really have dog eyes. I couldn’t recognize you at all just now. My name is Bai Sheng from Fukang Province’s Bai Family.”
Tang Xiu’s brows raised and asked, “Who is Bai Yang to you?”
“He’s the Bai Family’s Patriarch. I should call him Uncle according to the seniority,” said Bai Sheng.
“I know a bit about the Bai Family.” Tang Xiu nodded. “Whether it is Bai Yang or the rest of the family, they usually act low-key. I never thought this family had someone like you. Scram to Fukang Province fast, and you had better not to court calamity for your family when you’re outside later.”
Bai Sheng wiped off the cold sweat on his forehead, as he hurriedly nodded and said, “Yes, yes. I’ll definitely redeem myself according to your teaching. If… if you have no other instructions, then I’ll take my leave first. I’ll leave early in the morning and return to Fukang Province.”
With that said, all who came with threatening attitudes now quickly left with trepidation, while the more than 20 people in the Fragrance Hall were dumbfounded with dropping jaws—shocked by the series of events.
Tang Xiu then turned around to look at Wei Guotao and the others. A smile climbed up on his face as he said, “I apologize to all of you for having your dinner at our Paradise Manor disturbed. Hence, I’d like to present these two bottles of wine for everyone to taste. Also, we still have things to tend to, so we can’t accompany you.”
Gods Nectar?
At least a dozen people among them knew their wine, and also had seen the packaging of this top wine, the Gods Nectar.
Inwardly, they exclaimed in shock as the two bottles of wine given by Tang Xiu turned out to be Gods Nectar. It must be noted that this wine was very expensive and sold at 18,888 yuan in the exclusive stores. But in the ‘private market’ many were willing to obtain it for double the price.
It was an exquisite wine, yet it was very scarce in circulation.
That was the characteristic of the Gods Nectar.
“Mr. Tang, please stay.” Wei Guotao quickly called out. “We are really grateful for what just happened. I’m afraid we would be beaten if it wasn’t for you.”
“Nevermind it!” Tang Xiu smiled. “You chose to dine at Paradise Manor, so it’s our responsibility to guarantee your safety.”
Wei Guotao nodded in response with a smile. There was a hesitating look on his face as he pointed to the two bottles of Gods Nectar on the table and said, “I must decline your kindness with thanks, Mr. Tang. But this wine… is way… too precious. We…”
“No, it’s just a liquor, and nothing precious.” Tang Xiu waved his hand and smilingly said, “But you…”
“Oh? You’re here, Brother? And you too, Lulu!”
At the door of the Fragrance Hall, Chen Xiaowan came inside with empty hands. There was previously a bit of anger on her face, but it then instantly disappeared completely after seeing Tang Xiu and Ouyang Lulu.
Ouyang Lulu quickly greeted her and affectionately grabbed her arms and said, “I just learned that you and your classmates are having a reunion here, Sis Xiaowan. Else I would have instructed my staff to prepare the best hall for all of you.”
Chen Xiaowan looked a bit embarrassed and replied in a low voice, “No need to be this polite between us, Lulu. Besides, having to meet and gather here together is already great.”
“Just enjoy yourself here like it’s your home, Sis Xiaowan—wherever you feel great. Well, consider this dinner tonight my treat. Just enjoy your dishes and wine and have a good evening. All of your spending tonight is on me,” said Ouyang Lulu with a smile.
“Don’t…”
“Nope. It’s already decided. Else your brother will scold me to death later!” Ouyang Lulu interrupted her and smiled.
Tang Xiu could not help laughing and said, “Lulu wants to exempt you from spending, Sis, so just accept it. Anyways, we won’t bother your dinner. Just call me later after you’re done and I’ll escort you back.”
After a while, Tang Xiu and Ouyang Lulu left, leaving only a group of Chen Xiaowan’s classmates in the Fragrance Hall. Just as Chen Xiaowan threw back the car key to Wei Guotao, voices buzzed from her classmates:
“It was so amazing. Xiaowan’s younger brother is simply too powerful.”
“Yeah! Amazing. Those guys a while ago seemed to be scared out their wits and nearly wet their pants.”
“That’s a real nouveau-riche for you!”
“Damn! Tang Xiu is really cool!”
“Yeah! He’s my idol!”
“If only I had such a younger brother, it’d be so damn great!”
“…”
