Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1426: Earth Realm (2): Meeting of Destiny, Love of Destiny
After 7am, Su Xiangfei arrived at the Su Family Restaurant in a daze. When he saw the crowd gathered in front of the restaurant, he thought he was still asleep and rubbed his eyes.
“Su Xiangfei, did Teacher Xia not ask you to come and open the restaurant last night? Why are you still so late? ” As he slowly walked towards the restaurant, a voice, similar to the rumbling of thunder, echoed next to Su Xiangfei's ears.
After hearing this, Su Xiangfei immediately woke up and started running into the restaurant involuntarily.
The one who said this was Zhang Jingdong, the security guard at the Star City First High School. He is a retired military veteran and an excellent parent. He was well-liked by teachers and high school students. Furthermore, since he was a parent with firm principles, he also earned the respect of many people, especially some mischievous students.
“Pak Tua Zhang, our restaurant opening hours are usually at 9am. I came here early enough. I just didn't expect you all to come here so soon. ” As Su Xiangfei spoke, he quickly unlocked and opened the door.
Zhang Jingdong was the only person there who dared to raise his voice in Su Xiangfei. No one else standing outside the restaurant dared to do that. Everyone greeted Su Xiangfei, some with a respectful tone and some with a tone of flattery.
The Magnificent Tang Corporation was already one of the top ten companies globally. Although the Su Family Restaurant did not seem to have any relationship with him, everyone knew that the restaurant was founded by Su Lingyun. Moreover, Su Xiangfei was Su Lingyun's nephew, so Su Xiangfei's relationship with the Magnificent Tang Corporation greatly influenced the popularity of the Su Family Restaurant.
Perhaps Tang Xiu's lessons were too unforgettable. Ever since Su Xiangfei took control of the restaurant, it seemed like he had been reborn. He has not shown off since then. He was now a mature young man and had a good relationship with his friends.
After greeting the crowd excitedly, Su Xiangfei immediately started to work.
It was Xia Mingjie's sixtyth birthday, and her son Xia Tao was a classmate with Su Xiangfei, who was the only one in the world, so he asked Su Xiangfei because he wanted to help his father throw an amazing party.
As soon as Su Xiangfei heard that it was the birthday of his revered teacher, Xia Mingjie, he slapped his chest and said that he would take care of it. Then, after consulting with Xia Tao and Xia Mingjie, he contacted all of his classmates in Class 10. It's like a high school reunion after 35 years, so Su Family Restaurant didn't serve the public during Xia Mingjie's birthday party. . The restaurant would only serve the party guests, as well as the teachers and students of Star City First High School, and Su Xiangfei paid the entire bill for the event.
As Su Xiangfei grew prosperous in these decades as well as the great reputation that the Su Family Restaurant had in Star City, there were hardly any Grade 10 students who turned down the invitation. Furthermore, when Xia Mingjie's own guests heard that a party was going to be held at the Su Family Restaurant, they rushed to the restaurant early.
After two hours, Su Xiangfei and Xia Tao finally sorted out the guests. After these two hours, both of them were sweating, and Xia Tao was staring at Su Xiangfei with immense gratitude in his eyes.
“Xiangfei, mere thanks are not enough for this. If there is something you need and I can help, please do not hesitate to call me. ” Xia Tao is clearly unaware that the event will take a lot of effort. If not for Su Xiangfei's efforts and patience with every little thing that came up, he would have been doomed.
“Tao, don't be a stranger. Your task today is to take good care of Teacher Xia. The rest leave it to me, ” replied Su Xiangfei while wiping his forehead with sweat.
“Xiangfei, I saw you glance at the entrance several times. You're waiting for Cheng Yannan, right? ” Xia Tao realized that Su Xiangfei was not himself, so he decided to ask.
“Yes. President Cheng arrived at Star City last night. He should have almost arrived. ” Su Xiangfei frowned and could not help himself as he walked out.
His eyes were shining very quickly. This was because he saw Cheng Yannan's car and also saw Cheng Yannan himself as well as his personal assistant, Dai Mi.
As Xiangfei rushed to greet Cheng Yannan, he suddenly stopped and almost fell down.
This was because he saw something and was very surprised.
President Cheng in front of him was not the cold and graceful president he was familiar with. He was ashamed and, without hesitation, plunged first into the arms of others. Furthermore, he cried quite loudly and did not stop hitting the other person's chest. He was crying so hard that the words he spoke were all incomprehensible.
“Cou.. Cousin.” When Su Xiangfei saw the man's face, it was as if he saw a ghost. After a while, he finally let out words from his mouth.
“Xiangfei, you did quite well! I think you will make the Su Family Restaurant bankrupt at first. ” After seeing her frightened-looking cousin as she looked at herself, Tang Xiu laughed and greeted her.
“Sepupu, this is really you! I think I'm dreaming. After decades of not seeing you, you still look exactly the same as before. ” After seeing that Tang Xiu did not hate him, Su Xiangfei immediately started to smile after feeling peaceful.
When Su Shangwen, Zhang Meiyun, and Xia Tao walked to the entrance, they only saw the backs of Tang Xiu and Cheng Yannan.
“Fei’er, was it Cheng Yannan back then? Since he was here, why didn't he enter? ” Zhang Meiyun asked in an unconvinced tone as she watched the car leave.
“Mhm. It was my cousin and Cheng Yannan. Since there were a lot of people in the restaurant, it was not good for them to show their faces, so they left after giving me a gift. ” Su Xiangfei did not calm down as he handed the red package to Xia Tao.
“Is Cheng Yannan not here to attend Master Xia's event? Why isn't that good? ” Su Shangwen asked. However, as soon as he finished that sentence, he suddenly realized something. “Who else did you say was here with him? Is that Cheng Yannan's older cousin? ”
“Not older cousin Cheng Yannan, but my older cousin. This is Tang Xiu, your nephew. ” Su Xiangfei explained while looking at his father's confused expression.
“Ah. Has Tang Xiu not gone to Heaven yet? When did he come back? Well, since he's back, why doesn't he come and say hi to us? ” After confirming his guess, an expression of disbelief appeared on Su Shangwen's face.
Although others did not know what had happened to Tang Xiu and his family, the people close to him knew that Tang Xiu was not a normal person and was a successful cultivator and an Immortal. They had all ascended to the Eternal World a few decades ago.
Su Shangwen thought once they boarded, they would not be able to return here. This was also the reason why even though he thought the man's silhouette looked familiar, he did not connect it with Tang Xiu.
“Dad, Tang Xiu is not the same as us. The reason behind its appearance was probably to see if the Su Family Restaurant still existed or not. At the same time, he might as well want to bring Cheng Yannan to that place. ” As she thought about Tang Xiu's personality and his way of doing things, Su Xiangfei became discouraged. Tang Xiu had indeed taught Su Xiangfei how to cultivate and as a result, he was much stronger than the average person. However, since Tang Xiu did not give him any cultivation resources, it was impossible for him to ascend to the Eternal World unless there were special circumstances that allowed him to do so.
“Haha, Tang Xiu is also coming. If my father had heard this, he would have been very happy. ” After a while, Xia Tao finally understood what Su Shangwen and Su Xiangfei were talking about. He was very happy to see the message on the two red packets. Then, with the red packet in his hand, he ran to the restaurant.
“Our family offended and treated Su Lingyun and Tang Xiu very badly back then, however, they were very kind to save us from being thrown in jail and give us a restaurant, which helps us prosper and live a luxurious life. What can we complain about? If Xiuer doesn't want to meet us, then there must still be a scar in his heart. As long as we guard the restaurant and take good care of the Su family, then I think Xiu’er will definitely forgive us someday. ” Zhang Meiyun felt embarrassed when recalling the events in the past.
Zhang Meiyun was right. Although Su Lingyun was a good person and had already forgiven Su Shangwen and his family, Tang Xiu could not. This was also why Tang Xiu immediately left after seeing Su Shangwen and Zhang Meiyun.
Actually, Tang Xiu had been in the restaurant for a long time. The sight of such a crowd outside the restaurant had already frightened him. After understanding the situation, he thought of going inside and greeting his teacher and classmates earlier.
However, he dismissed that assumption. After all, he no longer belonged to this world. As long as they were happy, that was enough for him. It was simply not necessary for him to disturb their peaceful life.
As for what Cheng Yannan discovered, it was truly a coincidence. Tang Xiu stood in a secret area and he even used techniques to hide from normal people. No ordinary person could see it.
However, Cheng Yannan was no ordinary person. Not only did he awaken his special ability, he even trained on the Island of the Nine Dragons. Years passed, Long Zhengyu also gave him abundant cultivation resources, which allowed him to become a cultivator at the early stage of the Traversing Tribulation Stage. Others might not be able to see Tang Xiu, but Cheng Yannan quickly found him.
When Tang Xiu realized that Cheng Yannan's sharp eyes were on him with a feeling of longing written all over his face, he thought of avoiding her, but in the end, he did not. As a result, Cheng Yannan plunged first into his chest.
“Tang Xiu, don't ever leave me again! Wherever you go, I'll go! ”
“During these years, I have made all the necessary preparations. I have properly trained and nurtured Su Yaning. He can definitely take over the Magnificent Tang Corporation from me. ”
…
After entering the car, Cheng Yannan could not help but tell Tang Xiu about her thoughts.
He felt the sincerity of his words and feelings. As a result, his heart warmed up. She said nothing, and instead, lowered her head gently and kissed her soft lips.
