Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 882 – Raising Price of the Deal
Tang Xiu averted his gaze from Mu Wanying and looked around. What made him feel confused between laughter and tears was that there were many male and female students around him, even those who had just exited the examination hall, which was a bit uncomfortable when I saw him.
“Why should you be this crazy, belle?” Tang Xiu muttered with a wry smile as he walked forward while shaking his head.
Mu Wanying stood upright with his hands half-open and turned in place. Her skirt danced in the wind while her perfume soaked into the air as she asked with a heartfelt laugh, “Well, why is that long face after seeing your girlfriend so dazzling, anyway?”
The beaming smile that Mu Wanying wore back then was so attractive to Tang Xiu that, despite having a strong mind and getting used to it, he could not help but feel an overwhelming sense of shock. He calmed down quickly and grabbed Mu Wanying's wrist to pull him to the car door. He opened the door, closed it, and then came to sit on the passenger, saying, “Driver.”
“Give me a reason,” said Mu Wanying smiling.
Tang Xiu showed what he meant and hummed, “You know, the most beautiful side of my girlfriend can only be appreciated by Me. No other man is allowed, otherwise I wouldn't be happy. Is that a good enough reason? ”
“Hehe..”.
Mu Wanying smiled sweetly again, while even his bright eyes that reflected that beaming smiles shone as if they were drops of clear water. When he started the car, he smilingly asked, “So, where are we going?”
Tang Xiu thought about it and said, “I will treat you to a good meal because you are already dressed so beautifully. But it reminds me. There was a stall selling delicious barbecues in a nearby alley. Well, that is if you want to have the sky as a roof and use the floor as a table to enjoy the steak well. ”
“Pfft ..”
Mu Wanying could not help but laugh and he rolled his eyes with boundless charm in response to Tang Xiu's suggestion. Then he smiled saying, “I will treat you today to celebrate the end of your first semester. Let's eat well and go to the Arabesque Garden Mansion! ”
“Well, seeing your sincerity and good looks, let's go to this Arabesque Garden Garden then!” Tang Xiu said with a smile.
“Ha ha ha..”
With a sweet belle laugh, the car gradually left.
However, countless mourning could be heard from the people among the crowd. Even some boys sang the song “Valentine's Day Without Lover” to vent their deepest feelings.
Arab Garden Mansion. It is a famous upscale dining venue in Shanghai, where all guests who can enjoy delicious dishes here are among the rich. It has been widely recognized as the place that provides the most delicious food, although it also comes with the most expensive prices.
“Wanying, you seem familiar with this place, don't you?”
After following Mu Wanying into the interior of the Arabesque Garden Mansion, Tang Xiu found that he was somewhat familiar with the path leading to the hall with the plaque marked Emperor Hall, and he asked with a hint of a surprised expression.
“Yes, already here twice before,” Mu Wanying replied with a laugh.
“The words say that eating here is quite expensive, the most expensive in Shanghai. Never thought you would want to visit this place, really, ”comment Tang Xiu with a smile.
“Not really, I've been here twice but not for dinner,” Mu Wanying shook his head and said, “The first time I visited this place was to find my father a few years ago. And the second is when I came with my best friend, even though she happened to meet her boyfriend here who secretly met another woman. ”
“Hahaha ..” Tang Xiu laughed and smiled saying, “I can say your best friend is kind of feeling really bad, isn't he?”
“But, why did you say that?” Ask Mu Wanying.
“Well, does this good friend of yours have a good temper?” Tang Xiu asked with a smile.
“Not at all, he's exactly a bomb waiting to explode,” the grin of Mu Wanying. “Tang Xiu, do you know why I am still willing and happy to be with you until now even if I am not the only woman for you?”
“Ugh ..” Only then did Tang Xiu feel sorry why he had to talk so much. But those words had been spat out by his long tongue, so he could only brace himself and ask, “Why is that?”
With a bitterness somewhat hidden in his eyes, Mu Wanying said, “My love for you is the main one and it is a feeling that can never be replaced with anything. After that comes the problem with the problems of society and the environment. You also know that the status of women is better after the reform and opening up of our country. But in reality, carved deep into people's bones and in their blood, there was still a feeling of inferiority flowing within women, whereas men still maintained their superiority. Even I'm no exception. It is said that “women are responsible for occupying half of the sky” and the greeting is indeed better than “men is a pillar of household”. However, deep down, many women still felt weak, yet they wanted to have someone to rely on and thus be the crux of the matter.
“As a woman herself, I am completely aware of how much the environment will affect women. For example, the famous Ouyang Lulu and Kang Xia. The people in the circles we contact cannot be fully imprisoned by the monogamous system. The powerful men had more than one wife either in Hong Kong, Macao, or Taiwan. Like My Father, he was indeed very loving and caring about My Mother, but the love for beauty was etched deep within his bones. It made her have other women besides my mother.
“Patriark Ouyang Family's father Ouyang Lulu also has more than one woman, although Ouyang Lulu's mother is also a very strong woman whose name I have long heard. However, that didn't stop Lulu's father from being able to keep his integrity pure. ”
Therefore, the bitterness was increasingly evident on his face.
Tang Xiu took a deep breath and shook his head, “If a man really loves a woman, he can give everything for her and she will not fall in love with another woman.”
“Is that?” Mu Wanying could not help but smile.
“You ever see it? Over where? ”Mu Wanying was surprised and asked in surprise.
Tang Xiu was silent. The man he mentioned was actually himself. Even if he had more than one woman at the moment, he dared to say that when he was in the Eternal World, if Xue Qingcheng did not betray him, then he would not have betrayed him, he believed that there would never be another woman who could move him beside him.
They spent thousands of years getting along, understanding each other …
Instead of being fed up, bored, or tired of their relationship at that time, she loved the woman more as time went on. It was like an old wine; the older it was, the softer and tastier it was.
Even Emperor Qing, who had gone mad from the pursuit of love before finally died on that path of love, there was no hesitation to fight Heaven while battling against the life and death cycle of Samsara just to protect his wife for thousands of years. He did all of that even if he were to be suppressed by the laws of the Heavenly Dao, destroyed by the tribulation of the Heavenly Thunder, and ravaged by mental demons; however, the only thing that kept him afloat was the face of his wife, the face of his wife, the name he had been calling for thousands of years before he died.
Mu Wanying watched as Tang Xiu who fell into silence and he faintly felt sad inside. She could tell that Tang Xiu had once had a loved one, although she could not guess what his love was like.
She was an intelligent woman and could be said to have a heart with a seventh sense. Through Tang Xiu's words, he could even tell that the man Tang Xiu mentioned was none other than himself.
“What has really changed him in the end?”
Mu Wanying wanted to find out the answer, but he was afraid to go deeper into the matter seriously.
Tap, tap …
The door was knocked and pushed open when two young and beautiful maids came inside to give two menus. Tang Xiu was dragged back from his memories and erased the trace of pain and sadness in his eyes before he gestured Mu Wanying to order food.
Dining with gourmet and quality wine made Tang Xiu and Mu Wanying quietly leave their previous topics and enjoy the food while chatting.
Ring, ring, ring…
Tang Xiu took out his handset and saw that it was Hao Lei. His mind immediately moved as it was only a few days after some people sent him four zodiac jade carvings, whereas there was no news of the six remaining. Is Hao Lei going to give him the good news?
“What's up, Hao Lei?”
Hao Lei's tone, however, carried a hint of killing intent inside, “Bos, we discovered the existence of a jade mouse, but there was enough trouble about it.”
“What problems?” Tang Xiu furrowed his brows.
“The person who called me is from abroad and he said that he has the jade mouse we are looking for,” explained Hao Lei. “She sent her picture over the Internet and she said that she wants the price to go up by at least 500 million US dollars if we want to buy her jade mouse, otherwise we would never have collected an entire series of twelve zodiacal jade carvings.”
“Agree to the request!” Tang Xiu said without hesitation.
“But Boss, about this ..” Hao Lei hastily replied.
“This jade slip is a very important thing for Me,” Tang Xiu said in a deep voice, “This concerns the destructive actions I will do in the future. Promise him that we can transfer 500 million US dollars to him at any time as long as we get that object. ”
“Understood!” Obey Hao Lei before he hangs up.
Mu Wanying himself had never asked Tang Xiu why he should collect the zodiac jade carvings. After hearing Tang Xiu's words at this moment, he finally asked, “It's just a jade carving; is it really worth spending that much money? ”
“It's worth it because this jade zodiac engraving can never be measured with money in my eyes.” Tang Xiu nodded, “To be honest, if I could gather the entire set of twelve zodiac jade carvings, not only would it be of great benefit to Me, but it would also be great for you. ”
“What is the benefit?” Mu Wanying asked curiously.
“I can't tell you for now,” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “But please believe me. You'll know sooner or later. ”
Ring, ring, ring…
Hao Lei called again. When Tang Xiu picked her up, the anger in his tone was stronger as he spoke loudly, “Bos, that man has no good intentions at all. I've just agreed on the price of 500 million dollars he requested according to your order, but he actually raised the price by 300 million more. He now wants to sell it to us for 800 million dollars. In addition, he also has a request to transfer 300 million dollars as a down payment to his Swiss Bank account. ”
“He seeks death!” A cold light flashed across Tang Xiu's eyes and asked again in a heavy voice, “Can you trace his location?”
“This is very difficult, but possible,” replied Hao Lei.
“Then let's prepare for both possibilities. Tell him that we will comply with his request. This time it is no longer 800 million dollars anymore, but one billion, “ Tang Xiu said. “As long as he wants to sell his jade mouse to me, I will give him one billion. However, tell him that we need time to raise money at least the first half month. We will transfer half of that money to his account within half a month. ”
