f a Buddhist monk."Then let's begin." Wang Zheng clenched his fists tightly as he narrowed his eyes slightly.He knew that he had to fight against this An Chengxuan, and he needed to find a reason to j...Chapter 225: Liu Xuan's Invitation
At this moment, the dishes had been served. There were stir-fried wild rabbit and home-style chicken dishes, among others, all very common types of cuisine. However, under the hands of this chef, they had taken on a different flavor that made Wang Zheng’s mouth water.
"Was what happened at Song Family Garden done by you" Looking at Wang Zheng who was eating ravenously with his head down, He Yan suddenly asked.
"What Song Family Garden What incident" Wang Zheng, busy chewing on a rabbit leg, replied vaguely.
“You’re pretending with me, huh” He Yan said with a laugh: "A mysterious person intruded into the Song Family Garden causing chaos. Song Mingwei suddenly had an accident and fell into a coma, almost becoming a vegetable, turning the whole Song family upside down. And you didn’t know"
“I generally don’t participate in such matters; I just stand by and observe,” Wang Zheng finished off his rabbit leg without denying it and said: "Xiao Chényǔ appeared with Golden Blade and Silver Thread, and when I had a chance to fight him that day, he was very strong. He’s truly worthy of the reputation he has in mercenary circles."
“Indeed. Xiao Chényǔ appeared, there aren’t many people you would praise like this. This fellow appearing in the capital at this time is probably targeting you,” He Yan sighed: “This stagnant pool that is the capital is getting murkier and murkier. Everyone wants to come here for a share, but they are unaware that doing so might cost them their lives.”
Li Xiǎo rubbed his hands together and said with some eagerness: "I think there’s nothing wrong with it though; at least I’ll get the chance to meet more world-class experts. If I run into Xiao Chényǔ next time, I’m definitely going to have a good play around."
“You’d better be careful, or else what will I tell Old Man Li if something unexpected happens” He Yan was speechless at Li Xiǎo’s nature.
"How is the Song Family now" Wang Zheng asked. It had to be said that the dishes in this restaurant were simply delicious. The flavors were so captivating they felt like strings pulling from his mouth down into his stomach, making him feel as if the whole of his chest and abdomen was filled with aroma.
“With Old Man Song Jǐnglǐ overseeing things, it won’t be too chaotic; however, everyone is in a state of great agitation. With no murderer found and the person in charge comatose, the Song Family will certainly have to endure quite a lot.”
"Song Mingwei is in a coma, what about Song Mingsheng" Wang Zheng asked.
“Song Mingsheng It’s time for him to peel off his playboy facade,” He Yan’s understanding of Song Mingsheng was no less than Wang Zheng's: "This guy also pretends to be weak but is actually quite formidable."
"What happened"
"Song Mingsheng has already requested from Old Master Song to take charge of the Song family during his brother's coma. Although Old Master Song feels that this might not be reliable, he only has one son left and can only hope for the best. Though we haven't seen the final outcome yet, there is no doubt that Song Mingsheng will disappoint those who are waiting to see him fail."
"Then we're in for a treat," Wang Zheng felt somewhat curious about how far Song Mingsheng could go.
At this moment, Wang Zheng's phone rang.
After looking at the number, Wang Zheng smiled. It seemed that he hadn't seen this little girl since returning to the capital from Ningxia.
"Hello, I have a performance tonight, and 'Same Song' is hosting a concert at Capital Normal University, where I'm also invited to sing two songs," Liu Xuan's voice came through the phone. "So, do you have time to come see it tonight"
Wang Zheng looked up and saw He Yan and Li Xiaoxiao teasing him with their eyes before he said, "I don't think I can make it tonight; I still have something else to do."
"Oh, is that so Are you really too busy" There was a hint of disappointment in Liu Xuan's voice over the phone: "I've reserved several tickets for you. If you can’t come this time, we’ll just wait for another opportunity."
Wang Zheng laughed and said, "My business isn't more important than your performance."
"You’re so mean! Okay, then I'll wait for you backstage at Capital Normal University after the concert." Hearing Wang Zheng's change of tone, Liu Xuan’s mood lifted considerably.
“Alright then, we’ll see each other later.”
After hanging up the phone, Wang Zheng looked at He Yan and Li Xiaoxiao with a strange feeling.
"What's with those looks"
The lascivious smile on Li Xiaoxiao's face reappeared: "Brother Zheng, you're so affectionate with your sister-in-law. When are we going to get the chance to see it for ourselves"
He Yan laughed and said: "Is she your little girlfriend Why don’t you bring her over for us to meet Is it Zhang Mingqi or Shangguan Shishi, or is it Sheng Fei
Wang Zheng helplessly shrugged his shoulders: "None of them."
"None of them" Li Xiaoxiao almost spat out the water in her mouth: "If not them, then who My brother! Your luck with women is too good! If you can't find a decent girl for yourself, at least introduce one to me!"
If Grandpa Li knew that his grandson was following Wang Zheng around and calling himself the younger brother in such an obnoxious manner, he would probably be so upset that he'd have to go to the hospital.
"Come on, spill it. Who is she" He Yan asked with a smile. He had known Wang Zheng for many years, and he knew how tough Wang's journey had been over the years; therefore, He Yan wanted more than anyone else that Wang Zheng would find someone who could take care of him.
"Liu Xuan," Wang Zheng said frankly: "the female lead in Jirong white home appliances' advertisement."
"Oh my God! It's her She is my goddess!" Li Xiaoxiao's eyes sparkled when he mentioned Liu Xuan. "I can prove it, I have a photo of her on my desk!"
Jirong white home appliances' advertisement became an instant hit and turned Liu Xuan into the new idol in men’s hearts; her youthful image and beautiful appearance overturned the current aesthetic standards in the entertainment industry. She was superior to those actresses who underwent bone shaving, plastic surgery, and chin implants. She brought a refreshing breeze to TV audiences.
After the advertisement aired, not only did Jirong's home appliance sales surge straight up, but Liu Xuan also received continuous acting offers for many youth idol dramas. Her fans on Weibo had already exceeded five million, and inadvertently, Jirong International created a supernova.
Liu Xuan’s pure and sweet image reminiscent of a next-door girl deeply impressed everyone's hearts, especially the young male audience; Li Xiaoxiao was one among them.
Acting well leads to singing being the norm in today's entertainment industry. Liu Xuan was not professionally trained, but once her unadorned voice appeared, it quickly won over those who were still skeptical of her.
Liu Xuan’s voice was like her person, exuding a youthful vibe; listening to her songs felt as if one was in the fields during springtime, making people feel refreshed and invigorated.
What Wang Zheng didn't know was that just last week, Liu Xuan had covered "Beautiful Mood", and within a day, the song's play and download counts had entered the top three of Baidu Hot Songs Chart. This achievement far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
"Brother Zheng, you must take me with you," Li Xiaoxiao said, his eyes twinkling with desire. "You don’t know how long I have admired Liu Xuan; if you don't take me to the concert this time, I'll hate you."
"Alright, I can't afford for Grandpa Li's grandson to hate me," Wang Zheng patted Li Xiaoxiao on the back and said: "It’s still early. Hurry up and eat your meal; after we finish eating, let’s head over to Capital Normal University for the concert."
"Alright!" Upon seeing Wang Zheng agree, Li Xiaoxiao immediately started tucking in, speaking while eating: "Brother Zheng, don’t worry. I won't compete for Liu Xuan with you; I just want to take a look."
"Smelly brat!" Wang Zheng slapped Li Xiaoxiao on the forehead: "Later, you will have to go up close and present flowers. How does that sound"
"Really That's great! It also gives me an opportunity for a hug!" Li Xiaoxiao chuckled.
"Go to hell," Wang Zheng couldn’t help but chuckle at the childlike personality of Li Xiaoxiao.
"Will your sister-in-law be unhappy if you come home too late" Wang Zheng asked He Yan.
"She won't be unhappy, but she might worry a little bit," said He Yan, his eyes showing obvious warmth when he talked about his wife.
"It's been several years since we last met. You've already gotten married," Wang Zheng sighed: "I still remember you vowed to not get married before the age of forty. How did your mind change so suddenly I couldn’t attend your wedding, which is really a pity."
"I was forced by life circumstances," He Yan smiled helplessly: "But it’s good luck that I got her. However, it's a real pity that you couldn't be my best man at the wedding."
He Yan originally belonged to someone who had an extremely strong sense of career and set high standards for himself; he didn’t have time for dating or marriage. Especially after the last battle of Dragon Scale, He Yan was deeply self-reproaching due to a serious mistake, suffering from depression every day, almost falling into despair. It took him over a year to gradually recover.
He Yan wasn't young anymore; he was in his thirties. Friends of the same age as him had children about to finish elementary school. The elders at He’s family naturally worried too.
Moreover, as the eldest grandson, He Yan bore the responsibility of carrying on the family lineage. Among the three unfilial acts, not having descendants was considered the most serious. At that time, even when he was still in a state of depression, He Yan knew it was time to get married.
But what He Yan resisted the most was that these high-society marriages often came with heavy political backgrounds, which were also the fundamental reasons why many high-society offspring had unhappy marriages and spouses who merely put up appearances without genuine feelings.
Fortunately, however, the person introduced to him by his family wasn’t a descendant of some noble lineage but rather a small local government official. She was a recent graduate with a master's degree who appeared very gentle, typical of petite beauty type. Her parents were retired teachers from high schools, and her background could be considered quite clean, which He Yan found satisfying.
However, He Yan still remembered the expression of awe and reverence his father-in-law had when he first revealed his identity on the podium; perhaps for such a teacher who grew up under red influence, that illustrious name in China's military history was undoubtedly someone to be revered.ot many girls like Shishi, who are both intelligent and beautiful; it's as if they were blessed by heaven.Seeing Shishi about to speak, reporters quickly aimed their cameras at her.
