“Yes, but it’s too late for you to buy it now.” According to what she heard, Hengyang and Zhou Hengguang did not plan to sell them, at least not now. They would probably keep it for a few years and sell it when the market matured.
By then, the price would increase drastically.
Cao Meihua said that it was a pity and did not continue on this topic. She was just a worker. Business is her means to earn extra money. She would not put too much energy into it.
After a tour, it was almost time for dinner. Yao Fang also came back. Su Wen led the group to Rongjing Pavillion for dinner. As soon as she entered, she saw Xu Xiaoxiao bringing a large group of young men and women to the leisure area.
It seemed that he had been hosting them for the entire afternoon and was here to treat them meals.
When Xu Xiaoxiao saw Su Wen, he threw down the poker cards in his hands
and flipped over from the guardrail. He ran to Su Wen and greeted her, “Su Wen, where’s Zhou Hengyang? Why isn’t he here?”
He had only returned last night and had been busy all day. He just heard that Zhou Hengyang was not around.
“He went to the Northwest. I heard that Liu Chun went missing and he went to look for him.
When Xu Xiaoxiao heard that, he asked with his handsome eyebrows furrowed, “Did he go alone?”
“Yes! What’s wrong? Is it unsafe?” Su Wen became nervous. Although she knew that it would not be safe for Hengyang to go to the Northwest, she was rea.s.sured that he would return safely. That was why she was relieved. Now, after hearing Xu Xiaoxiao’s words, she could not help but feel worried.
“No.” Xu Xiaoxiao shook his head and continued, “Zhou Hengyang didn’t take me as his brother. He didn’t even ask me to go along when he went to the Northwest. I’m Liu Chun’s good friend.”
Su Wen was speechless. “How are you guys brothers? Aren’t you guys sworn enemies?”
Xu Xiaoxiao raised his eyebrows as he replied, “Su Wen, we’re still good friends until you said this.”
“Haha… You have too many good friends. You don’t need me as your friend. Your friends are already waiting for you. Hurry up and go!” Su Wen could see the group of people whispering to each other while watching them from where she stood.
“How are they my friends?” Xu Xiaoxiao sneered. “Just a bunch of troublemakers.”
He couldn’t avoid it and had no choice but to host these people.
“Su Wen, do you want to come with us?” Xu Xiaoxiao looked at Su Wen expectantly. “My treat.”
“No need.” She did not want to eat with a group of strangers. She was afraid of indigestion.
Besides, those people didn’t look very friendly when they looked at her.
Who knows what they would say about her in their hearts! It was even more impossible for them to get to know each other.
Su Wen admitted that she was not from that circle and did not want to squeeze into it.
“Alright then!” Xu Xiaoxiao didn’t force her. He turned around and went back. Just as the dishes were served, he asked the waiter to put away the poker cards and ask his guests to get ready for dinner. There were a lot of people, so they had to set up three tables. Some of them were easygoing, while others were difficult to get along with.
He Changming and the others were very good at this and blended in very well. It was very easy for men to find common topics. On the contrary, the girls formed their own circle, but they also played their own games. Even if they looked down on her, they would not show it too obviously.
No matter what, they had to give Xu Xiaoxiao some face. Anyone who had been invited here by Xu Xiaoxiao was not someone to be underestimated.
However, Xu Xiaoxiao went over to greet her just now. That was quite surprising for everyone..
