CH 4

Inside the room, Du Ruoyu, who was already dressed up, was surprised.

She stared fixedly at her best friend who had whispered to her about the news and asked once more, “Are you sure? Tang Zhou likes men?”

Her best friend nodded: “Just now, someone saw it in the bathroom with their own eyes. He’s with a waiter, tsk tsk.”

Du Ruoyu’s face was complicated, and she didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry.

She thought for a while, and said to her best friend, “I’ll go to the bathroom.”

After closing the bathroom door, she immediately sent a message to someone using her mobile phone. After that, she rubbed her eyes in the mirror and returned to the room with a sad expression on her face.

Seeing that she was downcast, her best friend was very sympathetic and comforted her: “It’s a good thing to know this very early, but it’s already too late.”

Du Ruoyu slammed firmly onto the sofa. She bit her lower lip and stood up, “I’ll go find grandpa!”

She seemed to be anxious, regardless of the consequences, she rushed to the room where Old Father Du was resting. Ignoring the other people in the room, she immediately cried: “Grandpa, I don’t want to be with Tang Zhou!”

Old Father Du spoiled his precious granddaughter a lot. Seeing that her eyes were red and her expression was sad. Old Father Du disregards her etiquette and demeanor. He beckoned, “Why are you crying? Who made our baby angry?”

Du Ruoyu wiped her tears and flung herself onto his lap, “Someone just saw Tang Zhou getting intimate with a man, grandpa, he likes men, I don’t want to be with him!”

Everyone present: “…”

The heir of the Tang family likes men?!

Old Father Du was stunned, his expression was a little hesitant. He had heard that Tang Zhou had always been clean, capable, and good-looking before, so he let his precious granddaughter to look upon him. Now she actually pointed out that the kid from the Tang family likes men, is this still worth it?

Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, the Tang family has to give an explanation.

He turned his head and instructed the butler, “Go ask about the situation, and get Tang Zhou over here.”

The butler left and came back after, “Chairman, someone did see young master Tang getting intimate with a waiter in the bathroom just now. Young Master Tang said that he was unwell and left the venue early.”

Old Father Du was so angry that he slammed the table. “If he gets into trouble, he knows how to run. I want to ask Tang Zhihua how he educated Tang Zhou! Call Tang Zhihua!”

“Grandpa, don’t be angry,” Du Ruoyu tried to suppress the smile on the corner of her lips, “Since he doesn’t want to, forget it. ”

“This girl, you’re just too kind.” Old Father Du stroked her head and sighed, “It’s that boy who is to blame.”

When the phone was connected, Old Father Du snorted, “Tang Zhihua, you’re not sincere enough.”

Tang Zhihua was puzzled, “Care to explain?”

“That precious grandson of yours likes to screw men, did you know?”

“Impossible!” Tang Zhihua raised his voice, “I know very well what kind of person A Zhou is.”

If he really likes men, it’s impossible to be easily discovered.

Old Father Du sneered, “Someone saw it with their own eyes and it’s not true? Moreover, Tang Zhou knew he was exposed so he ran away and didn’t even greet me. It was clear that he was guilty!”

Without waiting for Tang Zhihua to defend himself, he hung up directly, his lips shaking with anger. In vain, he had praised that kid before, but he didn’t expect that he made an error in his judgment.

Tang Zhou, who had caused the heated discussion, didn’t care about the opinions of others at all, and drove aimlessly on the road.

He also dragged Fu Shen with him.

If they want to put on a play of “an adulterer and his man” they can only run together.

Fu Shen caught Tang Zhou’s hidden delight and asked, “Aren’t you afraid that your reputation will be damaged?”

Tang Zhou parked his car by the river, and the evening breeze blew slowly. With the cool smell of the river water, it was refreshing.

He leaned back in his seat and glanced at Fu Shen, “For what reason am I afraid?”

He has never been so at ease and unrestrained before. It’s rare for him to choose himself first and he doesn’t know how happy he is.

The relationship between the Du family and the Tang family is good, but after all, it is just the maintenance of the benefits. In his dream, the Tang family was in a slight decline, and the Du family decisively fell into trouble.

Since he has no interest, why bother to feign civility.

In Fu Shen’s impression, the heir of the Tang family in front of him has always been known for being cold and arrogant. During the month when he was working as a personal assistant, Tang Zhou did indeed behave the same as the rumors.

However, this morning, this person has changed.

It seems that he became a tale that urges people to read more.

The neon lights by the river lined Tang Zhou’s light brown eyes. There was a bit of smoke and fire for no reason.

Fu Shen sighed lightly, “You are not afraid, I’m the one who’s afraid.”

“Huh?”

Tang Zhou turned his head, his long eyelashes carrying the slightly raised corner of his eyes intertwined with the dull voice of his doubt, and a few strands of ambiguity quietly grew in the narrow car.

Fu Shen said solemnly, “I lost my job. I’m afraid no one will hire me for this kind of banquet in the future.”

“Fu xuedi1,” Tang Zhou raised his eyebrows, “If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Qiao is also in the banquet hall tonight, and you didn’t go there to bring plates and serve.”

Fu Shen’s pupils contracted slightly, and his amber eyes set off a cold light.

Tang Zhou was well acquainted with him in his dream. Compared to the successful and famous Mr. Fu, this young and lush Fu xuedi is not enough to look at, “I won’t interfere in your matters, and don’t interfere with mine.”

At this point, Fu Shen no longer pretended to be a simple xuedi, “You used me as a shield, it shouldn’t be too much for me to make some demands.”

Finally, it came to the topic.

Tang Zhou took out a cigarette, put it between his fingers, and didn’t light it. The night was deep, and his hand was even more whiter.

“Go ahead.”

Fu Shen lowered his eyes, and the corner of his eyes quietly explored the brilliance, “Twenty percent.”

“Heh.”

Tang Zhou flexibly fiddled with the cigarette. He showed a meaningful smile, but his eyes were cold when he looked at Fu Shen.

“Didn’t we agree to treat ourselves to dinner? How can we talk business if we don’t eat?”

Fu Shen lifted his eyebrows, “Okay, you must have not eaten this evening, we go now. ”

He doesn’t like to drag things out.

The mobile phone rang suddenly, and Tang Zhou’s voice drifted, “Not tonight, let’s change it another day.”

He let the phone ring for a few seconds before answering.

“Grandpa.”

“Where are you now?”

“Outside.”

“Come back.”

“Hmm.”

After hanging up the phone, Tang Zhou stuffed the cigarette back into its box, “You go back by yourself? ”

A smile appeared on the corners of Fu Shen’s lips, “Although I am a shield, I am also your lover. Young Master Tang is so stingy to his lover? ”

“Sorry,” Tang Zhou said perfunctorily, “I’m inexperienced and it’s my first time, so bear with me.”

The ambiguity of these words was so great that Fu Shen couldn’t help but glance at Tang Zhou. Seeing that his expression was normal, he couldn’t help but curl his lips.

This Young Master Tang, the flower of Gaoling, didn’t seem to be as boring as he thought.

They didn’t talk on their way. The car stopped at the entrance of Jiangcheng University.

The night market of the university is relatively lively, people come and go at the entrance of the school, the aroma of food on the stalls hooked Tang Zhou’s cravings, his stomach suddenly grumbled.

Fu Shen gave a light laugh and unbuckled his seat belt, “Wait here for a few minutes.”

Tang Zhou could have ignored him, but for some reason, he didn’t start the car.

Maybe it’s because he now wants to pick a deviant path2 and try to walk it.

The lively night market, with the smoke and fire from the barbecue stalls and the steam from the wonton stalls, becomes more and more lively with the chatter of the stall owners and diners.

Tang Zhou has never been here before, because he doesn’t like noise and ruckus. Now that he has experienced it, he feels a different kind of interest.

At least compared to the cold, empty house, there is much more warmth here.

Not long after, Fu Shen carried a bag over and handed it in through the window, “This is a thank you gift for sending me.”

Tang Zhou did not pick up, his eyes hesitant, “What is this?”

“It’s osmanthus glutinous rice balls.”

Blue plastic bag, set with a paper bowl, covered with a transparent plastic cover, and a pair of disposable chopsticks plus disposable plastic spoons lying next to it.

Tang Zhou pursed his lips and wanted to ask if this thing could be eaten, but knowing that this sentence should be hurtful, he didn’t say it.

Fu Shen was very good at observing, he got in the car directly, opened the lid, and the sweet scent of the osmanthus glutinous rice balls instantly filled the car.

Tang Zhou’s stomach became even more hungry, and his gaze involuntarily glued to the snow-white dumplings.

“These food stalls are all proper. Look at their placards. They are all in a standardized style, so there will be no problems.”

Fu Shen handed him the bowl and box, “Just try.”

The fragrance lingered on the tip of his nose. Tang Zhou hadn’t eaten anything for a day. He was craving and couldn’t control it, so he took a bite.

The fragrant and sweet taste reaches his heart, it is hot and sweet, and with the soft and waxy taste, it makes people feel full of happiness.

Tang Zhou didn’t hold back, was in silence, and ate several in a row. When his hunger gradually disappeared, he was reluctant to stop and took a sip of the soup to moisturize his throat.

The young man’s pale pink lips were with a layer of crystal soup, the corners of his mouth opened and closed, and his thin cheeks were filled with dumplings, bulging out into a large bag, which completely diluted his usual cold temperament. From Fu Shen’s point of view, he even found a trace of cuteness.

A smile appeared in the corner of his eyes, and when he saw that Tang Zhou did not continue, he said empathetically: “I have to return to school. ”

Then he got out of the car and left.

With no one else there, Tang Zhou was unrestrained, and sighed after eating all the bowls of dumplings.

It’s really delicious.

Only after eating and drinking can he pursue spiritual construction. Thinking that he would have to face his angry grandfather when he returned later, Tang Zhou narrowed his eyes and burst into a fighting spirit.

He was originally not interested in the decaying Tang family, and if his grandfather let him stay away from the center of power of the Tang family, he would like to do so.

Who wants those messes?

Driving to the Tang family mansion, Uncle Fang, the housekeeper, was already waiting at the door, he personally opened the door for Tang Zhou, and gallantly exhorted: “Young master, the chairman is angry, be careful.”

Tang Zhou nodded faintly, changed his shoes at the entrance, and came to the study.

After the old man became rich, he was artful and elegant. All kinds of valuable ornaments, calligraphy and painting in the study didn’t smell much ink, but the taste of money was a lot.

As soon as Tang Zhou entered the door, he was greeted by the old man’s roar: “You have hardened your wings! How dare you screw a man on that occasion! I’m afraid, you are not scared to lose face!”

The old man, who was nearly 70 years old, sat on an upholstered mahogany chair, staring straight at Tang Zhou, his face full of hatred.

Tang Zhou’s expression was calm, and he allowed the old man to curse and swear for a long time before he said, “I don’t want to get married.”

He is the product of a failed marriage and has no interest in marriage. Instead of suffering from each other after getting married, it is better not to get married in the first place.

Old Father Tang regained his composure, his sharp gaze was directed at Tang Zhou, and his tone was irrefutable: “I don’t care if you like men or women, you must get married.”

“Why? ”

Tang Zhou wanted to ask this word in his dream. He wanted to ask why, no matter how much effort he put in, Old Father Tang only cared about those vain things.

Could it be that they aren’t as good as his affection for him?

Tang Zhihua sighed slightly, “A Zhou, you are the heir of the Tang family, and you have this duty.”

Tang Zhou raised his eyes, looked at him for a few seconds, and said lightly: “What if I just don’t like getting married?”

Tang Zhihua raised his eyebrows to deemphasize, “A Zhou, don’t make a fuss. ”

“I’m not making trouble. ”

Tang Zhihua obviously didn’t want to talk about it anymore, “I’m tired, that’s it for today. Remember to go to Du’s house tomorrow to apologize. ”

Tang Zhou walked out of the study, his eyes full of indifference.

Du Ruoyu and Tang Tianyang already had a relationship at the beginning, and they concealed it first, so it was impossible for him to apologize.

Just after leaving the mansion, he received a message.

[Fu Shen]: Tomorrow night at six o’clock at the Juxiang Pavilion Pavilion, are you free?

The corners of Tang Zhou’s lips were raised lightly, and he quickly replied: Okay.

Finally, there is something not so bad.
