At around 10:30, Lei Yan arrived at the hotel and sent a safe text message to Xiao Muyou. Xiao Muyou also wanted to make a video call, but Lei Yan refused because he was tired and wanted to rest early.
Xiao Muyou knew that Lei Yan must be under a lot of pressure right now, so he didn't bother too much. He just said that he would go to the hotel to find him tomorrow, and then they went to rest.
Lei Yan was indeed under a lot of pressure at this time, but it didn't come from the Xiao family, but from the surgery half a month later.
Xiao Yingze's words seemed to awaken Lei Yan.
In these years, Lei Yan has actually paid very little to anyone. For him, there is nothing selfish or selfless, it all depends on his own mood and preference.
But now, he suddenly found that everything he had done in the past seemed very selfish. It seemed that he had always acted from his own standpoint without taking too much into account the feelings of the people around him.
Lei Yan, who was lying on the bed, exhaled heavily. It was time for him to think carefully about what he could give Xiao Muyou.
This night, countless people are destined to be unable to sleep.
The next day, at about seven o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yingze received a call and then found an excuse to leave Shanhaiwan.
Although Luocheng is not as prosperous as Kyoto, it is still a beautiful city in the south of the Yangtze River.
At this time, in a quiet courtyard in the downtown area of Luocheng, Xiao Yingze was sitting there quietly, with the teapot in front of him still steaming, and the fragrance of tea filling the surroundings.
Next to the bronze door in the distance, a big word "tea" hangs high on the door.
"Master Xiao, you haven't been here for a long time. You just got the Wuyishan Dahongpao. Do you want to try it?"
In front of Xiao Yingze is a man with a white beard. Why not say he is an old man? In fact, this man is a few years younger than Xiao Yingze. However, in order to maintain his image as a scholar and elegant scholar, this man specially grew this beard.
In addition, men rarely have white hair. No, their beards are also black and white. Don’t look at the man’s face, just look at the white hair and beard. Coupled with the ancient Hanfu attire, he really looks like a seclusion in the busy world.
Master.
"Okay, it's rare to taste the tea brewed by Mr. Cheng himself recently. It's a great honor."
Xiao Yingze had a faint smile on his face, but he didn't mean it from the bottom of his heart. This was just to be polite to people who had a good relationship with him, otherwise, he wouldn't even give him the slightest smile.
"Second Master Xiao, are you worried? Come on, let's try the cakes made by my daughter herself. They will complement each other perfectly with this big red robe."
Speaking of his daughter, Mr. Cheng looked proud.
On the opposite side, Xiao Yingze sighed softly, thinking that his daughter, who used to be extremely well-behaved and sensible, actually gave him such a big problem, it gave him a headache.
Hearing Xiao Yingze's sigh, Mr. Cheng didn't ask any more questions and just placed the freshly poured tea in front of Xiao Yingze.
"Second Master Xiao, why are you so open-minded? I'm sighing here so early in the morning, so I can calm down while drinking tea, otherwise you won't be able to appreciate the flavor of this tea."
"Hey, Mr. Cheng, there is nothing we can do. Not everyone has a sensible and obedient daughter like you."
Xiao Yingze sighed and said that this was the first time that he felt worried about his daughter.
Hearing this, Mr. Cheng laughed heartily and poured another tea for Xiao Yingze.
"Mr. Xiao, this is the first time I hear you say that. In the past, you always praised the eldest daughter in your family for being so well-behaved. I think you still can't see it. When your daughters get older, they always have their own problems.
idea.”
It can be seen that this Mr. Cheng has a very good relationship with Xiao Yingze, otherwise he would not say this.
After hearing what Mr. Cheng said, Xiao Yingze waved his hand and said.
"Forget it, stop talking and drink tea."
With that said, Xiao Yingze picked up the tea on the table, took a bite, and then took another sip of tea.
I have to say that Mr. Cheng’s daughter is really good at making these tea snacks.
The tea cake also has a light tea aroma, and it should be made by grinding the tenderest leaf buds of Dahongpao into powder and mixing it with flour.
"Pack two portions for me in a moment."
"You, you never leave empty-handed every time you come to my place. Don't worry, Qiaoer has already prepared it for you. Just remember to take it with you when you leave."
Just as he was saying this, the sound of a car came from outside the yard.
This is a private residence. Under normal circumstances, no cars will come in unless there are people with appointments.
Hearing the sound of the car, the remaining smile on Xiao Yingze's lips disappeared. When Mr. Cheng saw this scene, he smiled slightly, poured another cup of tea for Xiao Yingze, and said.
"It seems that the person you made an appointment with has arrived. Okay, I'll leave this to you. Let me tell you something carefully. At our age, don't get angry easily. It may cause high blood pressure."
"Old guy, what are you talking about? I'm in very good health. Even if I want another baby, it's no problem. Unlike you, you look weak at first sight."
Xiao Yingze said angrily that he didn't like people mentioning his age the most.
It's strange to say that the couple clearly knew that Lu Ziyou was older than him, but for some reason, this woman seemed to have frozen her age. People who didn't know her when they went out thought that he was five or six years older than Lu Ziyou. They were angry.
Xiao Yingze has also begun to study maintenance technology in recent years.
"Hahaha, old guy, you are still two years older than me. Let's go."
After saying that, Mr. Cheng stood up and walked toward the back.
This is a house with two courtyards, which is not uncommon in the city center where land is at a premium.
Xiao Yingze knew that this courtyard was usually used to receive guests. In addition to several open-air tea tables in this courtyard, there were also several private rooms on both sides.
However, there is usually no one here this early in the morning. The place usually opens in the afternoon, and reservations must be made in advance. Unexpected guests are not accepted.
Of course, except Xiao Yingze, because this courtyard is under Xiao Yingze's name.
As soon as Mr. Cheng left, Lei Yan appeared at the open door. He saw the man sitting in the yard with his back to the door. Lei Yan adjusted his clothes a little and then walked into the yard.
Lei Yan didn't expect that there would be such a quiet place in Luo City, a relatively new city.
Early this morning, Lei Yan called Xiao Yingze and said that he wanted to meet. He originally made an appointment to meet at the hotel restaurant and they just happened to have morning tea together. Unexpectedly, Xiao Yingze later sent him such a position.
Lei Yan walked up to Xiao Yingze, nodded to him, and spoke politely.
"Uncle Xiao, good morning."
Xiao Yingze had no expression on his face and didn't raise his head. He just made a gesture to sit down and then slowly opened his mouth.
"Mr. Lei, you should do the same as others and call me Mr. Xiao. I am more accustomed to this."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he had already opened the distance between the two and clearly told Lei Yan his attitude.
Lei Yan's eyes narrowed slightly and he didn't respond. He just sat down quietly.
Before coming, Lei Yan had thought that the meeting would not be too warm and harmonious, but he still wanted to meet Xiao Yingze.
Lei Yan almost stayed up all night last night. He had been thinking about a question, which was a question that Xiao Muyou's grandfather and father mentioned when he was at the Xiao family. What could he give Xiao Muyou.
After thinking about it all night, he didn't seem to come to a good conclusion, because he couldn't even control his own future, so how could he make promises to others.
Taking the initiative to meet Xiao Muyou's father this time was a decision he made after careful consideration.
"Uncle Xiao, when I come here this time, I don't want to persuade you to accept me."
Lei Yan spoke, because when he set out again, Xiao Muyou sent him a message, saying to meet him at the hotel at nine o'clock. It was almost eight o'clock now, so he couldn't delay for too long.
Hearing Lei Yan's words, Xiao Yingze was stunned for a moment. He finally raised his head and looked at the young man in front of him.
I have to admit that his daughter still has good taste. As a man, Xiao Yingze still admires Lei Yan's temperament.
He obviously has a baby face, but because of his bottomless eyes and his unsmiling face, he gives people a sense of calmness and restraint.
But such a man had an experience and life that could not be ignored. Xiao Yingze felt deeply sorry in his heart.
"What do you mean? What you said at my house last night was just a pretense in front of my daughter?"
Xiao Yingze was a little angry. Yes, he did not support Xiao Muyou and Lei Yan being together. Logically speaking, he should be happy about Lei Yan's words, but he was very angry now. He felt that this man was duplicitous and was playing with his daughter's feelings.
Xiao Yingze doesn't have to accept Lei Yan, but this guy must be sincere to his daughter.
Okay, it sounds a bit overbearing, but that's just how people are.
Lei Yan knew that Xiao Yingze had misunderstood, so he quickly picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Yingze before opening his mouth to explain.
"Uncle Xiao, you misunderstood. I am sincere to Mu You. Because of this, I have to come out to see you alone now. I hope Uncle Xiao can help me with something."
At this time, Xiao Yingze was a little confused. He looked at Lei Yan in confusion and thought, is this guy stupid? They are clearly on opposite sides, and they actually asked him to help now that they have something to do.
Xiao Yingze thought for a moment and then asked quietly.
"Tell me, what is your purpose?"
At this time, Lei Yan took out his mobile phone. Inside was a physical examination report, which he took casually when he was discharged from the hospital a few days ago. He originally wanted to send it to Ouyang Jie, hoping that he could also help to see if there were any more updates.
A good treatment, I never thought it could be used for other purposes now.
Xiao Yingze took the phone in confusion, looked at it, and frowned immediately.
Although he is not a doctor, he can still understand the words "tumor" and "surgery" written in the physical examination report, and at the top of the case list is Lei Yan's name. Looking at the date, isn't it from a few days ago?
Xiao Yingze thought about what Xiao Muyou said last night that Lei Yan had just had a minor surgery some time ago, and he suddenly felt a little suspicious.
"Mu You doesn't know about your situation?"
Lei Yan shook his head and said.
"No, she knew it all. Because she knew it, she decided to bring me to see you."
Lei Yan made no secret.
When Xiao Yingze heard this, his face looked a little ugly and his brows were furrowed.
