Chapter 109: Do You Know Him?

  Inside the carriage, sweat dripped down. Along with He Ling's suffocation, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet and still. Zhang Yan looked at Xu Yu with a curious gaze, occasionally sizing him up. She really couldn't figure out why, since their university graduation, when they met again, the man in front of her had suddenly changed into a completely different person.

  Everything she did was astonishing and bewildering.

  If it weren't for Xu Yu treating her like this, she would probably really think that the person sitting here was not the introverted and reclusive young man from before.

  Xu Yu also sensed Zhang Yan's astonishment and was at a loss for how to explain it, so he could only smile helplessly.

  Lu Chuan, who was on the side, also laughed after seeing the awkward atmosphere. He turned around and took out two cups of drinks from the car's cabinet and handed them to Zhang Yan and He Ling. Then he opened the in-car TV to liven up the mood.

  "Where are you going now? It's almost noon, why don't we have lunch together?" As the TV was turned on, Xu Yu smiled and looked at Zhang Yan sitting beside him.

  Now that Li Honghui's call has come through, there's no need to rush about the matter on that side. It doesn't matter if I go over there tonight or not.

  As soon as he said that, Zhang Yan hadn't even opened her mouth yet, when He Ling on the side smiled and said, "Alright alright, it's rare to follow Zhang Yan together, let's take advantage of you for once, the location we'll choose."

  In short, Zhang Yan looked at He Ling with a helpless expression, but didn't object.

  He Ling then mentioned the name of a restaurant, which was considered to be one of the better places in Linzhou. The driver still didn't respond, but directly turned the steering wheel.

  Just then, He Ling's phone in her pocket suddenly rang. When she picked it up and looked at it, she smiled awkwardly and said, "It's Mo Biao, he's here to send umbrellas for Zhang Yan and me."

  They came out for a stroll earlier, just the two of them together. Later, when it started raining, Mo Biao's place wasn't far from here, so He Ling called him, but unexpectedly, he only arrived now.

  Is this umbrella still necessary now?

  After hearing He Ling's words, Xu Yu shook his head and smiled wryly, "Anyway, he's already here, so let's just call him over too."

  "Alright, I'll call him now." He Ling listened and directly dialed the phone again. After telling Mo Cai that at the intersection in front of the building square just now, the driver turned the steering wheel again.

  Crossroads.

  "Dizzy, these two people, said to let me send an umbrella, how did they run again? Hurt me to make a trip in vain!" At the intersection of ten characters, after receiving He Ling's phone call and rushing over with an umbrella, Mo Biao stood in the rain. Looking at the vehicles and pedestrians coming and going from left to right, his face flashed with a hint of depression.

  However, just as he was feeling depressed, Mo Biao's eyes suddenly lit up and stared at a Rolls-Royce coming from the opposite direction.

  "Awesome! Rolls-Royce welcomes top leaders? Whoa!! Does Linzhou still have this car? Too freaking cool!"

  If He Ling and Zhang Yan had seen the car before, apart from thinking that the body was luxurious enough, they basically didn't know what type of car it was. However, Mo Biao was a standard car enthusiast, even though he himself didn't have a car. For various world-famous luxury cars, he knew them like the back of his hand.

  He even dreamed of having a good car, and at this moment, when he saw such an eye-catching vehicle passing by the intersection, he suddenly became excited.

  "One day, I'll be able to drive a car like this. He Ling's little face is still not smiling, but Mo Biao's eyes flashed with greed and he couldn't help but smile."

  Just as he was indulging in his daydream, he suddenly found that the Rolls-Royce was heading straight for him, which gave him a fright and made him hastily dodge. Whoever drives such a car must be incredibly capable, and he didn't want to mess with them.

  But unexpectedly, he dodged and the car stopped just a few meters away from his side. Then, one of the car doors opened from the inside, revealing He Ling's excited face.

  Mo Biao was stunned on the spot, how could he expect that little girl? Could she sit in this car?

  "Mo Biao, get on the car!" Ignoring Mo Biao's foolish eyes, He Ling waved her hand generously towards him.

  In an instant, Mo Biao almost cried. What a joke! He had just fantasized about having such a car when he saw it, and now he would drive it in front of He Ling, wave his hand domineeringly, and shout at her to get in. How could this happen so quickly?

  What made him even more desperate was that his fantasy had turned into a reality?

  He pinched his thigh hard, and was shocked awake by a severe pain. Mo Biao became even more terrified when he realized that this wasn't a dream, but reality. "Get on the bus! What are you spacing out for!" Seeing Mo Biao's stunned expression, He Ling furrowed her brow, somewhat impatiently urging him on. It was hard to get an opportunity to show off in front of this kid, and now he looked like a fool?

  "Uh..."

  Startled by the shout, Mo Biao finally came to his senses and hastily walked forward. It wasn't until he stepped into the car that he suddenly noticed Xu Yu and Zhang Yan sitting in the back, after which he was stunned again.

  All that's left in his mind is just one thought.

  It was him!

  When the vehicle started again, Rolls-Royce went straight to the place where He Ling had said before. On the way, Lu Chuan even made a phone call in advance to book a private room.

  "Once I arrive at the destination, Mr. Li said, 'I'll go over there tonight.'"

  Xu Yu was also helpless, with this guy following him all the time, being extremely polite and fearful, while others like Zhang Yan and He Ling seemed to be very restrained, making him feel somewhat uncomfortable.

  With Xu Yu's words, Lu Chuan directly responded and even retreated back into the car, driving away immediately.

  As the vehicle disappeared again at the end of the rain, a few others on one side finally let out a sigh of relief, and their tense emotions also relaxed somewhat. Indeed, with such a luxurious car around, the people in it were treated with such respect that even they felt a little oppressed.

  "Let's go eat." Xǔ Yú smiled again before speaking up.

  After entering the restaurant, following the service staff's guidance, several people quickly arrived at the reserved private room. Only after they finished eating a delicious meal did everyone's mood relax a bit.

  In the afternoon, Xu Yu didn't leave but instead accompanied Zhang Yan to stroll around. Zhang Yan and He Ling were walking in the mall while he and Mo Qi followed behind them, acting as porters.

  To be honest, this is his first time strolling with Zhang Yan in a long while, and it's making him feel somewhat out of sorts.

  It wasn't until around 4 or 5 pm that the rain outside had unknowingly stopped, and He Ling and Mo Biao left with smiles on their faces. When only two people were left, Xu Yu smiled and said, "I'll walk you home?"

  "En." Her face slightly flushed with a hint of redness, Zhang Yan nodded lightly.

  Xu Yu also waved his hand to stop the car, and on the way, the two of them were mostly chatting casually. However, Xu Yu clearly felt that for this entire afternoon, the other person's mood had been good, and so was his own.

  It wasn't until another half hour had passed that Rang finally sent Zhang Yan to her destination.

  This is a relatively old street, with buildings facing the street. The Zhang family lives in an apartment above a supermarket on this street. In fact, the small supermarket downstairs is run by her parents.

  Xu Yu was not surprised by this. He had already known about these things when he was in school, but it was his first time experiencing them personally.

  Just as the two were getting into a taxi, an ordinary middle-aged man suddenly walked out of the supermarket entrance opposite them, carrying a large box in his hand. When he saw Zhang Yan and Xu Yu by the roadside, the man was taken aback for a moment, "Little Yan?"

  "Dad?" With these words, Zhang Yan was taken aback, her face turned slightly red, and she wanted to go up and help.

  "Hehe, no need, I'll just throw away this trash myself." The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head, but with a puzzled gaze, he looked at Xu Yu up and down.

  He couldn't help but feel puzzled, this was still his first time seeing someone send a daughter back home.

  "Uncle Zhang, I'm Xu Yu, an old classmate of Zhang Yan. Let me help you, just call me Little Xu." Following his gaze, Xu Yu felt a strange sense of unease rising up in his heart, which was quite complicated. He quickly stepped forward and took the box from the other person's arms, although Zhang's father resisted slightly and repeatedly said it wasn't necessary, but he couldn't resist Xu Yu's strength.

  It was also at this time that he discovered that there were only some food and other things in the box.

  "Haha, thank you then. Alas, these things are all expired and haven't been sold yet, now they can only be thrown away as trash." Seeing Xu Yu forcibly take the box away, Zhang's father no longer resisted and let out a somewhat helpless sigh.

  "Oh, I'll help you pick it up." Just one sentence, and Xǔ Yú suddenly felt a bit of goodwill towards Zhāng Fù, at least from his appearance, he didn't notice that the food in the box was expired.

  After finishing all this, Zhang's father smiled and pulled out a cigarette to hand it to Xu Yu. After being refused by Xu Yu with a smile, Zhang's father smiled again, "Not smoking is good, still not smoking is good."

  "Rarely does Xiao Yan have friends come over, let's sit and chat for a while."

  Brief contact, his impression of Xu Yu was okay, at least in terms of appearance, Xu Yu was still quite presentable. However, when he turned to look at Zhang Yan who had been standing on the side, a hint of blame flashed in his eyes. This little girl, obviously having someone already, didn't bring him back earlier, causing them to be anxious and help her find a match.

  It seems like everything was in vain!

  It was just a glance, but Zhang Yan felt extremely embarrassed, yet she didn't say anything. Instead, she gave Xu Yu a somewhat unusual look. What he had done earlier may have been a small thing, but considering his current status and position, it was truly rare that he would still take the initiative to help his father with such trivial matters.

  "Hehe, no need to bother, I'll just head back now." Xǔ Yú waved his hand again, and as he finished speaking, another person suddenly walked out from the side of the supermarket - it was Mò Yūqíng, who had appeared at noon.

  Deng Mo Yu Qing saw Xu Yu, her face changed, and she walked up quickly in high heels, "Heh, you're still chasing me to my doorstep?"

  Then, Mo Yuqing looked at Zhang's father with some dissatisfaction, "Brother-in-law, do you know him?"
