Chapter 148: Mid-Autumn Festival

“You two can drink first. 1 still have something to do, so I’ll leave first!”
In the end, he drank less than three cups after getting the bank card. Second Uncle was as happy as a child and directly ran away. Seeing him like this, the old man was so angry that he rolled his eyes again.
Then, he said to Xu Wenping, “It’s good that he’s leaving. It’s quiet now. Let’s drink.”
Xu Wenping and his grandfather drank together.
While drinking, they naturally chatted. Grandpa said, “A few days ago, I spoke to your mother on the phone. I heard that you’re out doing some big business. The courtyard you’re living in now is very luxurious! What business?”
Xu Wenping smiled and replied calmly, “In short, it’s a corporation. It involves in all kinds of businesses. It’s doing quite well now.”
“Oh!”
Hearing that Xu Wenping didn’t explain in detail, Grandpa, this experienced man had already heard the hidden meaning in his words. He smiled and nodded. “That’s true. I’m old now and I don’t know what’s going on outside. However, it’s fine as long as you don’t go against your conscience.”
Xu Wenping smiled and nodded.
Grandpa also didn’t ask Xu Wenping how much money he had given Second Uncle. In fact, he had lived to his age and lived in such a distant mountain. No matter how much money he had, it didn’t matter.
The ones that his grandfather raised in the wilderness were actually quite a lot if he really wanted to sell them.
In such a mountainous village, one could feel a sense of satisfaction that was not dominated by the secular world.
This might be the reason why his grandfather was unwilling to leave.
Xu Wenping turned off his alcohol tolerance and drank with his grandfather. However, he got drunk first. The grandfather and grandson drank five or six catties. Xu Wenping was already having cold sweat. His grandfather was not only full of energy, but he also cleaned up the tables, chairs, and chopsticks. He could even carry Xu Wenping to the bed to sleep.
For the next two days, Xu Wenping stayed here. Other than chatting with his grandfather, he played with his cousin and even taught her a few martial arts moves.
However, he soon realized that his actions were unnecessary.
Therefore, Xu Wenping’s current martial arts realm was completely comparable to a martial grandmaster. However, his cousin, Xu Houhui, could be seen from Xu Wenping’s perspective even though she had only learned the skills of her grandfather.
In the end, martial arts were actually simplified.
Xu Houhui was born with talent. She only needed to comprehend it herself to understand the true meaning. She did not need too much complicated teaching.
Xu Wenping and his cousin were competing with their full strength. Under the current situation where Xu Wenping was using his full strength, his cousin could actually fight with him back and forth. Xu Wenping could win through techniques, but he thought that if he were to mount a horse and fight, he would probably lose!
It was so terrifying.
If one were to compare his cousin’s talent to the talented Chen Pi, the latter would be 800 miles behind.
Most importantly, this was definitely not Xu Houhui’s limit. She would continue to become stronger naturally.
Her talent was buried.
However, it seemed that such a good girl couldn’t be placed in a suitable position.
In the past few days, Xu Wenping’s phone had been terribly quiet. It was fine if Li Junlan didn’t call, but Su Yurou, who usually communicated with him whenever she had free time, didn’t call either. Even Su Caiwei didn’t care about him.
She even sent a message on his chat software: Under the situation of ‘What are you doing?’
Xu Wenping even called Jiang Yueming to find out that Yurou Pharmaceuticals was extremely busy. Even Yu Youling had been transferred over by Su Yurou.
Although it wasn’t a company, Jiang Yueming didn’t dare to disobey the ‘matriarch’s’ request.
This made Xu Wenping think deeply.
Su Yurou didn’t know that Old Master Li had recommended Li Junlan. She had always treated Yu Youling as Xu Wenping’s ‘second wife.’
Xu Wenping felt that the complicated relationship between them was already irreparable. It was better to ignore it and let it develop on its own.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xu Wenping wanted to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his grandparents, but his grandparents rested early. After noon, the festival was over. Xu Wenping asked his cousin to drive him down the mountain.
The last time he left Han Xiaoxia, he didn’t leave her contact information. Although the atmosphere was a little awkward last time, Xu Wenping knew that Han Xiaoxia was relieved and didn’t take it to heart.
Actually, he couldn’t say for sure what kind of feelings he had for Han Xiaoxia. However, when he thought about how he would leave Xiangshan County and return to the city, the chances of seeing her again would become fewer and fewer.
The last time he mentioned her birthday, Xu Wenping planned to celebrate her birthday?
Just treat it as…
Bidding farewell to the distant youth.
In any case, there was nothing to measure once the heart moved.
He didn’t go and prepare anything extravagant. Xu Wenping only ordered a cake.
Friendship should be this simple.
In fact, when Xu Wenping was preparing, Flan Xiaoxia was also uneasy.
“Dad, do I look good in this dress?”
“You look good. My daughter looks good in any dress!” Even so, Han Xiaoxia’s father only stared at his phone.
Han Xiaoxia looked at herself in the mirror.
She didn’t know how long it had been since she had tried to dress herself up. This white floral dress should have been hidden in the bottom of the cupboard for a long time. It might be a little cold to wear it in the current weather.
As for the pair of pearl buttons on her feet, she had just taken them out from her collection yesterday and washed them.
It had been a long time since she needed to use her beauty.
She specifically emphasized that she had something to do today and asked her father to stay in the shop, so she kept staring outside the glass door. Fortunately, Xu Wenping did not make her wait too long.
Seeing Xu Wenping outside the door, Han Xiaoxia smiled.
Han Xiaoxia’s father raised his eyebrows slightly, but after thinking it through that day, he decided not to get involved in the matter between Xu Wenping and Han Xiaoxia. After all, his daughter was already very old.
Xu Wenping was no longer the silly boy with a runny nose.
Han Xiaoxia smiled and walked out of the door. She smiled at Xu Wenping.
“You’re here.”
The meaning of these words was very clear.
I was waiting for you.
There seemed to be a strange tacit understanding between them. Xu Wenping actually did not think that there was a problem with Han Xiaoxia’s words. He nodded lightly and said, “Yes, 1 ordered a cake. There seems to be nowhere to go in town, but I borrowed a car this time.”
Xu Wenping pressed the key. It was a somewhat dilapidated off-road vehicle. This was not difficult to do. In his Second Uncle’s office, there were a few pieces of old furniture that were almost old.
“I don’t know anything about cars.”
Han Xiaoxia lowered her head and pondered for a moment. Suddenly, she raised her head and smiled, saying such a meaningful sentence.
“But I understand you.”
Xu Wenping was surprised. Han Xiaoxia said, “You’ve always been a man of few words. You won’t learn how to lie..”
