My date with Tang Xiangtian was in a famous teahouse in Chinatown. It was decorated in an antique style. Even the waiters were all wearing Chinese Tang suits, embroidered with dragons and phoenixes, and occasionally a blond hair and blue eyes were mixed in. I actually felt that the style was spot-on.
Tang Xiangtian arrived early and had already made tea in the box. When he saw Du Jiawen and Xiang Xiaochuang coming in, he smiled and extended his hand in an inviting gesture.
Xiang Xiaochuang's mood was a little complicated. She looked at him quietly and found that his smile was still warm, but there was clearly a fleeting sharpness in his light brown eyes.
Maybe when I met him, I was so preoccupied that I only saw his warm side and didn't notice the sharpness hidden in his eyes.
"Mr. Du, Miss Xiang, it's nice to see you." He spoke in smooth Chinese.
"I'm not happy to see you." Du Jiawen said slowly after letting Xiang Xiaochuang move to the window seat.
Tang Xiangtian was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Du Jiawen, who was accustomed to dancing in shopping malls, immediately put aside his superficial polite words, and his smile became a bit awkward.
"Yeah, I think so. I really shouldn't get involved in this matter."
"Is it Chen Sijia?" Du Jiawen asked straight to the point.
"Now that Mr. Du knows about it, he should be able to understand my difficulties. My father is completely unaware of this matter, so the last time I was followed on the street, my father's answer was completely honest."
Xiang Xiaochuang's eyes widened. It turned out that the Street Horror that was staged was also written by him!
People should not be judged by their appearance, maybe it refers specifically to people like him!
"Chen Sijia has quite a bit of charm..." Du Jiawen raised the corners of his lips and revealed a sarcastic smile.
Xiang Xiaochuang glanced at him secretly, but he didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
"She is a natural beauty, but it's a pity that Mr. Du doesn't know how to appreciate her." Although Tang Xiangtian said in name that he wanted to accomplice her, he was not sincere. Xiang Xiaochuang frowned, no one would be calm with such a tone.
Du Jiawen didn't get angry, he just laughed softly: "Really? Young Master Tang understands it very well?"
Tang Xiangtian smiled and said nothing, just took a sip of tea.
"It's said to be Chinese tea, but it's actually not authentic. It's better to go to China and put the new tea you buy there in the refrigerator. You can drink it for a while."
Xiang Xiaochuang lowered his head and saw the leaves of Longjing tea fully unfolded in the tea cup. The faint fragrance of tea was particularly peaceful in this quiet afternoon.
"This tea is too strong. You're still coughing. Add half more before you drink it." Du Jiawen reached out and took away her cup, poured half of it out, and added half a cup of boiled water.
"Mr. Du turns out to be a compassionate person." Tang Xiangtian looked at the two of them and smiled, bright and cheerful.
"You..." Xiang Xiaochuang frowned. How could anyone apologize in this way? Except for a calm tone and a slightly gentler wording, it sounded provocative no matter how I heard it.
A dark cloud gradually drifted past the window, and the tall sycamore trees in the yard were full of green.
"That's because Gang Leader Tang has always been self-righteous and waiting for women to throw themselves into his arms." Du Jiawen remained unmoved, his face calm.
Listening to the two people doing Tai Chi one by one, Xiang Xiaochuang felt a little depressed. But Tang Xiangtian turned his eyes to her, and the smile on his lips clearly contained a hint of apology.
"Actually, it's not like you haven't used these methods before. No one in the mall can be said to be clean from head to toe. I'm sorry, I just brought Miss Xiang into this situation."
Xiang Xiaochuang looked at him in astonishment and frowned delicately.
"Your methods are not honorable at all." She accused bluntly.
"It's just each other." Tang Xiangtian accepted her criticism calmly, "Your eyes are very clear."
Xiang Xiaochuang didn't understand why he changed the topic so suddenly, but he saw Du Jiawen's face was a little gloomy. He couldn't help but quietly reached out his hand and took his.
Du Jiawen turned his head and smiled at her, suddenly calming down in his heart: "I just hope you will stop interfering in Chen Sijia's affairs. It will not be good for you or even your father."
"I owe her a big favor, so this time she spoke, and I couldn't refuse." Tang Xiangtian shrugged, "The two of us have settled, and even if Mr. Du doesn't say anything, I won't get involved again.
"
Du Jiawen's expression remained unchanged, but Xiang Xiaochuang felt that he had obviously loosened his hold on her hand.
His smile clearly contained malice, and Xiang Xiaochuang immediately turned his head.
"This is your private matter, I don't want to get involved." Du Jiawen answered quickly, with almost no hesitation.
"Oh, poor Scarlett..." Tang Xiangtian had a smile on his lips, but there was no "poor" meaning in his eyes.
"Since this is a deal between her and you, I don't think you know her intentions?" Du Jiawen asked casually, staring at his tea cup, as if he was studying the texture of each tea leaf.
Tang Xiangtian smiled: "Of course she won't tell me that this woman knows how to use her own capital, but will never trust any man. However, unfortunately, I am a very curious man, so I investigated
Got her."
Du Jiawen's hand trembled slightly: "Oh? Really?"
"Her purpose is nothing more than to lure you back to China early so as not to discover her arrangement in the New York branch." He sneered, "So, I also have some information to tell Mr. Du. If you want someone to investigate,
, of course I can find it. However, since I already have ready-made information, I might as well be a favor and thank you for not approaching my father about this matter."
Du Jiawen finally showed another smile: "Thank you!"
Based on the intelligence network Tang Xiangtian operates in New York, his information is definitely worthy of attention.
"No, this is my apology to Miss Xiang. She is the only one who is completely innocent in this matter." Tang Xiangtian said lightly, after taking a look at Xiang Xiaochuang, he took out an information bag from the chair next to him, "
It's all here, I think it should satisfy Mr. Du."
At least at this moment, he was sincere. Xiang Kuaichuang thought and smiled at him.
"Miss Xiang, let's laugh and drink our grudges, okay?" Tang Xiangtian raised the teacup, "Let's use tea instead of wine as an accompaniment."
At this time, he became a cheerful young man again.
Xiang Xiaochuang smiled and clinked glasses with him: "We can't talk about grievances and enmities. In fact, we are two outsiders." The two looked at each other and smiled, and Xiang Xiaochuang was really relieved.
Du Jiawen squeezed her palm to express his dissatisfaction. Why should he smile so gently to Tang Xiangtian?
