Chapter 724: Fruit Juice Tea
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Previously, Shu Haikuo was stunned after listening to Xu Li’s report. Although Shu Haikuo was mentally prepared, Yang Dahai of Song Jiang’s Ming Yang was the Yang Dahai who he had humiliated. But being mentally prepared was one thing. What actually happened in front of him was another thing.
When he heard that Yang Ming, the people from Ming Yang Heavy Industry and also Ming Yang Entertainment were present at the airport, Shu Haikuo was shocked and contemplative. Why is a young man involved in such an important occasion? Moreover, according to Xu Li, the people from Ming Yang Heavy Industry and Ming Yang Entertainment were respectful to Yang Ming. With that, Yang Ming’s ident.i.ty is obvious!
However, what baffled Shu Haikuo was, what kind of company was this Ming Yang Entertainment? What was its relations.h.i.+p with Ming Yang Heavy Industry? Both companies have the same name. As the organizer, it was hard not to think of anything of it…
Was it a parent company, or was it just the same company? On the Ming Yang Heavy Industry website, there was no mention of Ming Yang Entertainment. It seemed that both companies had no relations.h.i.+p. But even if it was said, no one would believe it.
The link between the two companies was Yang Ming, a teenager that he once looked down upon. Perhaps both companies were owned or indirectly controlled by Yang Ming’s father, Yang Dahai.
As for Yang Ming, Shu Haikuo still thought nothing of him. Shu Haikuo never even suspected that Yang Ming had any relations.h.i.+p with the two companies. Of course, he meant any relations.h.i.+p in terms of operations.
Shu Haikuo also made an inference about the whole process of this matter. In his opinion, Yang Ming had only relied on the influence of his father to be close to the two companies’ high-ranking officers. To please Yang Dahai, they also had to b.u.t.ter up to Yang Ming.
Furthermore, it was also a coincidence that Yang Ming could meet his daughter again. Young people always enjoyed chasing celebrities, especially popular celebrities like his daughter. It was reasonable for Yang Ming to go to the airport to greet them through his family’s connections.
Therefore, Shu Haikuo didn’t think that Ming Yang Group and Yang Ming had any operational relations.h.i.+p, and the name Ming Yang might be taken from the words “Yang Ming.” It was probably just Yang Dahai’s way of showing love to his son.
In his opinion, Yang Ming should be a scholar now. However, Shu Haikuo didn’t let Xu Li stop his daughter and Yang Ming. This was his daughter’s wish for many years. Shu Haikuo was also heartbroken seeing his daughter unhappy every day.
However, what’s more was that Yang Ming’s family was no longer what it was before. That was more than sufficient to deserve his daughter. Moreover, Shu Haikuo also wanted to take over the overall distribution rights of helicopters in Hong Kong and overseas.
……
Shu Ya didn’t have makeup on, and her hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Her whole body had a refres.h.i.+ng feeling. Especially when it was already late at night, Shu Ya’s face was already sleepy and really lazy.
Women at this time were the most attractive. Yang Ming had some intentions, but he had tried hard to restrain himself.
“What do you want to drink?” Although they were in the hotel, Shu Ya was the owner of this room, and naturally, she had to own up to the responsibility as the host.
“It doesn’t matter.” Yang Ming wasn’t very thirsty so he replied casually.
“Then I’ll decide.” Shu Ya smiled plainly. She opened the small refrigerator at the bedside and took out two cups of drinks. She spoke as she handed a drink to Yang Ming. “Taste it. How does it taste? I like this drink.”
“Mountain fruit tea?” Yang Ming took the drink from Shu Ya with an apparently shocked expression. This juice tea came out of a disposable plastic cup. It was originally a specialty of Song Jiang and it was sold everywhere. Later, because the big-brand beverages. .h.i.t the market, this juice tea was too simplistic and gradually faded out of the market.
However, Yang Ming felt a sense of nostalgia from this taste. When he was in junior high school, he often bought a cup with Su Ya after school. They would sit on the side of the road and drink it together.
In fact, although Yang Ming felt nostalgic about this taste, he couldn’t remember it. The most important thing for Yang Ming to remember was the one who drank the juice tea together with him.
“They are still selling this juice tea now?” Yang Ming was interested in the juice tea in his hand as it evoked countless memories.
“It was not bought. It was made by the staff.” Shu Ya smiled. “The juice tea hasn’t been sold for a long time. They bought the recipe, so it can be made at any time.”
Yang Ming nodded. Many celebrities had their own hobbies, and they were committed to their hobbies. For example, when any celebrity’s information was searched, their favorite food, their favorite drink, and some other related questions could be seen. Shu Ya’s answer would probably be this juice tea.
It wasn’t difficult to make such things. As long as the original syrup was well-blended, all that was needed was to add water to it.
“Taste it? How is the taste?” Shu Ya handed Yang Ming a straw and took another straw for herself. She poked a hole in the juice cup and drank it with relish.
“Good.” Yang Ming really wanted to relive the taste from that time.
Yang Ming sat on the sofa, and Shu Ya sat next to Yang Ming with a juice cup side by side.
The familiar taste flowed into his mouth, which made Yang Ming a little absent-minded. Last time, it was also like this, right? Two people sitting together to drink juice, but the person around me was different now.
Shu Ya’s mood seemed to be a bit absent-minded, too, holding the juice with a blank expression.
Yang Ming suddenly realized that this Shu Ya had a lot in common with Su Ya – the tone of speech, the mannerism, the movements, and even the same hobbies. Most importantly, where did the rose ring in her hand come from?
For a moment, Yang Ming almost thought that Shu Ya was Su Ya. However, Yang Ming couldn’t imagine it, and he wouldn’t believe that a person’s appearance would change so dramatically. Yes, from a cosmetic point of view, there was nothing similar!
Although he had to admit that Shu Ya was indeed beautiful, in Yang Ming’s heart, Su Ya was better.
It wasn’t that Yang Ming hadn’t doubted it. Was Shu Ya wearing a human skin mask or something? However, after Yang Ming examined it carefully with x-ray vision, he didn’t find any clues. This was why Yang Ming denied that Shu Ya was Su Ya.
However, there was a connection between the two. Yang Ming was quite sure of that. He didn’t know how to set up Shu Ya’s words. Yang Ming wanted to ask her if she knew where Su Ya was, but he was afraid that there was a hidden story behind it. Shu Ya would become vigilant, and then it would be difficult for him to ask anything else again. Even if Yang Ming could use some extreme means on her, Yang Ming couldn’t do it.
Therefore, Yang Ming intended that when both of them became more familiar with each other, Shu Ya won’t be ready, and he could get the answers he needed.
“It’s very good. I used to drink this kind of fruit tea. It was this taste.” Yang Ming first came back to his senses and said to Shu Ya.
“Yeah, I like it very much.” Shu Ya said, “I am a little hungry. Could you treat me to a meal?”
“Now?” Yang Ming said, “Where do you want to go? The downstairs restaurant?”
“Let’s go outside. I haven’t been out of the hotel in a few days, afraid of being bombarded by reporters. Now those reporters should go back, right?” Shu Ya said with a lazy look.
Originally, the loose nightgown couldn’t show Shu Ya’s figure, but with her arms raised, he saw the towering chest with two b.u.mps on it. Obviously, Shu Ya wasn’t wearing a bra.
Noticing Yang Ming’s gaze, Shu Ya’s face was red, but she was somewhat proud. When you touched it that time, it wasn’t as big as it is now, right?
“Keke” seeing that Shu Ya had detected his perversion, Yang Ming coughed two times in order to hide his embarra.s.sment. Yang Ming stood up and said, “Then I will wait for you in the corridor. You should change clothes.”
When he was outside, Xu Li was still lying still on the bed, and Yang Ming didn’t pay much attention to her.
Seeing Yang Ming standing at the door, an underling on duty immediately greeted him, “Brother Yang, what can I do for you?”
“Nothing. I am going out with Shu Ya for a while. You can ask the brothers to take a break,” said Yang Ming.
“Thank you, Brother Yang!” The underling quickly thanked him. He was really impressed. This Brother Yang really is a bad*ss. He’s managed to win over a celebrity so quickly? However, this was just a thought. He dared not say it.
He still understood that a loose tongue might cause a lot of trouble. Especially in the underworld, if their mouth couldn’t be kept shut, they might be killed and thrown into the wilderness.
After a while, Shu Ya walked out from the door, wearing a beige duck down jacket[1]. She had a white rabbit fur cap on her head, and a small heart-shaped purse. She showed an indescribable cuteness.
“Let’s go?” Shu Ya lowered her head and whispered. She looked like a little girl who snuck out of the house for a lover’s rendezvous.
“Let’s go.” Yang Ming and Shu Ya walked side by side to the elevator. “You look more comfortable.”
It was rare for Yang Ming to compliment her, so it made Shu Ya a little excited. This was a seemingly simple look, but Shu Ya spent a lot of effort in it, and it was meant for Yang Ming to see.
Although the people in the hotel recognized Shu Ya, Shu Ya went out with Yang Ming, so they dared not stop them. Outside the door of the hotel, Yang Ming remembered that the car that he drove today was the Jinbei. He didn’t know if this celebrity would be used to it.
It was the coldest time of the year. As Shu Ya said, many reporters went home. But there was a tabloid reporter from Hong Kong who was standing in the corner of the hotel door, ready to bring some explosive news back.
The strength of the paparazzi in Hong Kong was well known throughout the country.
The tabloid news reporter took the infrared camera and pressed the shutter with excitement! Shu Ya and a young man were traveling together late at night. This was big news! How could he not be excited?
The tabloid reporter pressed the shutter and starts to fantasize. After returning, how much money would the editor give me as a reward? Money, beauty… He didn’t want to think about how shameful he was to dig into other people’s privacy.
