"It's good that everyone is gone! It's much quieter this time."

Hong Yu smiled and ate food at the wine table.

The food in the hotel is delicious. To be honest, this is the first time in his life that he has tasted such good food.

Seeing Hong Yu enjoying his meal, Zhou Wanrou and Liu Qianqian looked at each other and smiled. At this time, only this guy had an appetite.

Thinking of Song Xuan's injuries, Zhou Wanrou said with some worry: "Xiaoyu, Song Xuan lost his eyes because of you this time. You have to be careful and be careful of the Song family causing trouble for you."

Hong Yu shrugged and said, "You can't blame me for that. It was Song Xuan himself who insisted on hitting me on the head with a wine bottle. Hundreds of people present can testify."

Zhou Wanrou said solemnly: "Having said that, there are some things that cannot be explained clearly by reason. You'd better be careful."

Liu Qianqian interrupted: "Mr. Hong, what Miss Zhou said is not unreasonable. The Song family is powerful and often does unreasonable things."

Hong Yu knew that Zhou Wanrou and Liu Qianqian were all concerned about him, and did not want them to worry too much, so he nodded and said:

"Okay, I get it."

"But, having said that, maybe the Song family will be in trouble before they have time to trouble me."

There was something in these words. Liu Qianqian didn't understand the meaning, but Zhou Wanrou did.

She knew that Hong Yu was alluding to Xu Zhengxiong of the Xu family.

Of course she knew about Xu Zhengxiong's mysterious death.

When she heard the news at that time, she was quite happy. She let this guy lead people into her home and injured herself and her grandfather. She deserved to die and she would not continue to cause trouble for Xiaoyu in the future.

Now, if you think about it carefully, this matter is indeed very strange.

She couldn't help but glance at Hong Yu and fell into deep thought.

After coming back to her senses, she said to Liu Qianqian beside her: "Miss Liu, can you go out for a while? I have something to say to Xiaoyu alone."

Liu Qianqian nodded generously, stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll go out."

With that said, she turned and left the banquet hall.

Hong Yu looked at the mysterious Zhou Wanrou and said, "What can't you say in front of Miss Liu, and why do you have to send her away?"

Zhou Wanrou rolled her eyes at Hong Yu, "What? Seeing how beautiful Miss Liu is, you don't want her to leave?"

Hong Yu was speechless: "Be careful to respect your master! I am your master."

Zhou Wanrou stuck out her tongue mischievously, "Okay, I get it, don't keep reminding me."

"That's pretty much it." Hong Yu said, "Tell me, what do you want to say?"

Zhou Wanrou's face also became serious, and she asked directly: "Honestly, does Xu Zhengxiong's death have anything to do with you?"

Hong Yu looked slightly startled, not expecting Zhou Wanrou to suddenly ask him this question.

But, how could he tell Zhou Wanrou the truth.

It's not that he doesn't trust Zhou Wanrou, but for her own good, the less you know about some things, the safer it is.

Hong Yu smiled coquettishly and said: "Wanrou, you are really good at joking. How could Xu Zhengxiong's death be related to me? The police have reported that he committed suicide."

"Does it really have nothing to do with you?"

Zhou Wanrou asked again, she didn't believe the suicide theory.

It can be said that no one in the upper class circles of Jiangzhou believed that Xu Zhengxiong would commit suicide.

Hong Yu shook his head, "It doesn't matter at all."

Seeing Hong Yu's firm denial, Zhou Wanrou frowned slightly. Could it be that she was really overthinking?

Shaking her head, she did not continue to ask, but changed the subject and said: "Then I will ask you another question, and you must tell the truth."

Hong Yu nodded: "You can ask."

Zhou Wanrou stared at Hong Yu and asked: "Do you... like Ling'er?"

Hong Yu: "..."

Isn’t this woman’s topic jumping too much?

Just now, he was asked whether he killed Xu Zhengxiong or not. What a serious topic this was. Then he was asked about emotional issues in the next moment.

After pondering for a while, Hong Yu said truthfully: "Sister Ling'er is beautiful, and it is indeed easy for men to like her. I am a man, so of course I am no exception."

Zhou Wanrou's heart suddenly became knotted, she felt very sad, and said angrily: "I know you men are all the same, you get jealous when you see someone."

Hong Yu said speechlessly: "Men do like beautiful women."

"Okay, I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to see you again in the future."

Zhou Wanrou was so angry that she stood up from her chair and hurried out of the banquet hall without looking back.

Hong Yu was stunned.

What is this woman doing?

Didn't you tell me to tell the truth?

At the door of the banquet hall, Liu Qianqian saw Zhou Wanrou coming out, her expression seemed very bad, and she was about to say hello.

However, Zhou Wanrou walked away as if she hadn't seen her.

What happened? Liu Qianqian frowned, walked quickly into the banquet hall, walked to Hong Yu, and asked: "Mr. Hong, what did you talk about just now? Miss Zhou seems to be very unhappy."

Hong Yu said speechlessly: "You don't know what kind of nerve this girl has. I don't care about her anymore. Let's continue to eat. There are so many dishes. It would be a waste not to eat them."

Liu Qianqian pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll eat with you, Mr. Hong."

After staying at the Bandung Hotel until the evening, and having dinner with Liu Qianqian, Hong Yu drove back to Hongjiacun.

During this period, he became very familiar with Liu Qianqian, and their names changed from Mr. Hong and Miss Liu at the beginning to Xiaoyu and Qianqian.

We also exchanged contact information with each other to facilitate future contact.

...

The next morning.

Hong Yu was awakened by several knocks on the door.

"Xiaoyu, get up soon." It was the voice of my father Hong Changshou.

Hong Yu stopped breathing, got up from the bed, and opened the door.

At the door, Hong Changshou said: "Go wash your face and brush your teeth quickly, we will rush to the county seat later."

Hong Yu frowned: "Dad, what are you doing in the county town for such a good person?"

Hong Changshou said: "Your uncle is celebrating his seventieth birthday today and asked our whole family to come over for a banquet."

Hong Yu said "Oh", he was not very impressed by this uncle.

We met often when we were children, but after my grandmother passed away, the two families rarely moved around.

Hong Yu said: "The banquet won't be until 12 noon. It's still early. There's no rush."

Hong Changshou said: "Your uncle is an elder, so he has to arrive early, and the banquet will be held in a hotel. Let's go to your uncle's house first, deliver the gifts first, and chat with your uncle by the way."

Hong Yu nodded: "Okay, I'll go wash up first."

After washing up, Hong Yu returned to the living room and saw Hong Changshou holding a bunch of gifts in his hand, including the Golden Gai Maotai given by Xu Taishan last time.

"Dad, do you want to use the cigarettes and wine that Mr. Xu gave you last time as a gift to your uncle?" Hong Yu asked.

Hong Changshou nodded: "Yes, your uncle gave us a short notice early this morning. Time was tight and I didn't have time to buy gifts. I happened to see some gifts in the room that Mr. Xu gave last time. They all looked very expensive.

Yes, I will bring some to your uncle by the way. Anyway, he also likes tobacco and alcohol."

Hong Yu said: "Dad, you may not know this wine..."

Before he finished speaking, Hong Changshou interrupted: "What's wrong with this wine? Is it because Mr. Xu gave it to me, so I can't give it away? If so, I'll put it back."

"Dad, that's not the reason..."

Hong Yu shook his head: "Hey, forget it, just give it away, it's nothing."

He knew the value of this golden cap Moutai very well. It was worth hundreds of thousands a bottle, and it was a good wine with a price but no market.

Mr. Xu reluctantly gave it to himself.

A total of three bottles were given.

Now my dad took out two bottles and gave them away. To be honest, he was a little reluctant to part with them.

But when I thought about it, the gift was given to my father's uncle, which was considered a sign of filial piety from my father, so I didn't say anything more.

Afterwards, Hong Yu drove his father to Qingxi Town to pick up his sister-in-law, and then headed towards the county seat.

An hour later, Hong Yu drove to Yutian Community on the old street of the county town.

This is where my uncle lived after his retirement.

After parking the car downstairs at my uncle's house, Hong Yu and others took the gifts and went to the door.

After three knocks, the door opened.
