Xu Tian had just supervised Tang Bingyan's men to check in the luggage he had brought. At this time, he also came to the two of them: "I am a grown man who is not particular about the environment, and I can live in the same room with Bingyan. Your previous arrangement is completely
No need to change anything.”
"But you don't understand the project. You clearly caused trouble in the past!"
Chen Xiaoxiao refuted in a low voice, but Tang Bingyan still heard her.
She raised her eyes slightly: "Chen Xiaoxiao."
Chen Xiaoxiao's eyelids jumped when she heard this. Tang Bingyan rarely called her by her first name.
Whenever she talks to herself in this tone, it means that she is dissatisfied with her words and actions.
She lowered her head and did not argue anymore, but her tightly clenched fists and the veins on her wrists betrayed her.
Xu Tian thought Chen Xiaoxiao's appearance was funny. He really didn't want to lose his temper with a little girl, so he didn't continue the topic. VIP rest area.
Unexpectedly, in Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes, Xu Tian's behavior was more like a demonstration, which immediately made her furious.
"The villain succeeds!"
She complained in an almost silent voice: "I really don't know what the eldest lady sees in him..."
"Xiaoxiao, please stop saying a few words."
Ah Wei shook his head helplessly, Chen Xiaoxiao was still too easy to act on impulse.
The old people who followed Tang Bingyan all knew how special Xu Tian was to Tang Bingyan, so even if they disdained Xu Tian in their hearts, they would still maintain the proper etiquette towards Xu Tian on the surface.
Chen Xiaoxiao was an exception. Every time she met Xu Tian, she would feel uncomfortable without a few words of quarrel. She had to get a warning from Tang Bingyan before she restrained herself.
The area is close to the boarding gate.
Not long after, he saw Chen Xiaoxiao and Ah Wei walking in together with resentful expressions on their faces.
Chen Xiaoxiao deliberately chose a position behind Xu Tian, as if she wanted to keep an eye on him.
Xu Tian felt uncomfortable being stared at by two eyes behind him that were about to spit out fire, so he turned his head to look at the woman sitting behind him.
"Chen Xiaoxiao, I also dreamed about you when I was dreaming yesterday. You had an argument with someone and you were beaten and disfigured. After the plane lands in the lighthouse country, you'd better be careful."
The assassination of Tang Bingyan in the Lighthouse Country in her previous life was so serious that even though Xu Tian didn't care about it, he still heard a lot of inside stories.
At that time, he listened to those dangerous experiences as gossip.
Looking back now, he really wanted to go back to his previous life and shoot his ungrateful self to death.
However, there is one detail that Xu Tian always remembers, that is, Chen Xiaoxiao injured her face in a fight when she first arrived in Lighthouse Country. Later, because Tang Bingyan was attacked, she was not treated in time, leaving a hideous scar.
Since then, Chen Xiaoxiao's character has become very gloomy.
"You cursed me?" Chen Xiaoxiao's face turned pale with anger. She had never seen such a mean-spirited man. She just said a few words to him. Did she deserve to be cursed?
"Believe it or not, I reminded you anyway."
After Xu Tian finished speaking, he turned around, picked up the thermos cup on his right hand, opened it and handed it to Tang Bingyan: "Bingyan, drink more ginger syrup, it will warm your stomach."
…
Arashiyama Hot Spring Villa.
A young man wearing a haute couture suit stood beside Mr. Tang, squeezing his shoulders with a respectful face.
"Grandpa Tang, I happen to be free during this period, so I would like to come and accompany you more on behalf of Miss Tang. Usually Miss Tang and Mr. Gu are busy running about the company and rarely come back. It's too lonely for you to be alone in the villa."
Mr. Tang wore reading glasses and held a financial newspaper in his hand. He didn't express anything about the young man's service of rubbing shoulders and legs, and just said lightly:
"Young people should still have their own careers. As an old man, I can understand that. Besides, I'm not too old to take care of myself, so I don't need so many people to accompany me."
The young man's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "Grandpa Tang, of course you are not old, and you don't need to take care of you, but Butler Li usually has to take care of the entire manor, and there will inevitably be areas that cannot be taken care of. If you don't have a caring person by your side,
It will inevitably be inconvenient for the younger generation to take care of you."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Mr. Tang's expression, paused, and then continued:
"I heard that Miss Tang's boyfriend was clamoring to go to the Lighthouse Country with Miss Tang this time. They both left, and Mr. Gu is still busy taking care of the company."
"As for the other nephews of the Tang family, most of them are in the imperial capital. I guess you will feel bored here alone, so I came here. I also hope that Grandpa Tang will not think that I am clumsy and can't take care of others."
"You said Xu Tian also went to the Lighthouse Country with Bingyan?"
Mr. Tang put down the newspaper in his hand, a flash of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
The reason why he was quite satisfied with Xu Tian before was not only because he came from an ordinary family, but also because he had no ambition.
Now the Tang family is entirely supported by Tang Bingyan, and Xu Tian plays a very important role in Tang Bingyan's heart.
If this kid has other thoughts, I am afraid that after he closes his eyes, the Tang family will face the risk of changing their surname and ownership.
"ah!"
The young man pretended to be panicked and looked like he had accidentally said the wrong thing: "Grandpa Tang, you don't know about this? That's because I was talking too much. I guess Miss Tang didn't want you to worry, so she didn't say anything."
"Why did Xu Tian go with Bingyan? Didn't he never ask about the company's affairs before?"
"actually……"
The young man hesitated for a moment before speaking again: "I'm not sure. It seems that Mr. Xu didn't really want Miss Tang to go to the Lighthouse Country before."
"Lighthouse Country is so far away from China, and it takes more than ten hours to fly. I guess he couldn't bear to be separated from Miss Tang for so long."
Mr. Tang remained silent. He picked up the water glass on the coffee table and put it in his hand but hesitated to drink.
The living room was quiet for a moment, and the young man said tentatively: "Grandpa Tang, I also heard some news, I don't know whether I should say it or not..."
"Isn't that why you came to me today to tell me this?"
Mr. Tang is old, but he is not confused. He has already clearly seen the little calculations in the young man's mind.
The young man was a little embarrassed and froze in place, not knowing what to do.
"Speaking of which, what else did you hear?" Mr. Tang's tone made it difficult to tell whether he was happy or angry.
"that is……"
The young man calmed down and then continued: "I heard that in order to prevent Miss Tang from going on a business trip, Mr. Xu Tian also said that he had an ominous dream. He dreamed that Miss Tang would be in danger when she went to the Lighthouse Congress this time, so he had to go with him.
go."
"Originally, Miss Tang's flight was about to take off, because Xu Tian only bought a ticket for the next flight. In the end, Miss Tang had no choice but to call and mobilize the private plane."
Mr. Tang's normally normal expression suddenly changed.
Older people are originally more concerned about unlucky things like nightmares.
Even if it was the reason Xu Tian concocted in order to keep Tang Bingyan, Mr. Tang couldn't accept it.
In order to prevent Tang Bingyan from going to the Lighthouse Country, Xu Tian actually gave the excuse that there would be danger. Is this what an adult man should do?
Mr. Tang doesn't mind if Xu Tian idles around all day and doesn't find a serious job, but he can't accept Xu Tian holding his granddaughter back.
Mr. Tang originally had many concerns about Tang Bingyan's marriage, but Xu Tian's various performances now confirmed that his previous concerns were not unnecessary.
In the entire Tang family, he is the only one who knows how difficult it has been for Tang Bingyan to get to where she is today, so even if he doesn't agree with many things, he doesn't want to object and make his granddaughter unhappy.
Now that the Tang family is in trouble internally and externally, all decisions need to be made by Tang Bingyan alone.
It would be nice if she had Gu Beicheng by her side who could share her worries, but it was a pity that she valued Xu Tian.
Xu Tian's background destined him to not have a broad vision and he would never be able to compete with Tang Bingyan.
If he doesn't work hard, he will be a rice bug raised by the Tang family for the rest of his life.
If he works too hard, wants to make a career in the Tang family's company, and becomes ambitious in the future, and with Tang Bingyan's unconditional connivance, he may annex the Tang family.
When Mr. Tang learned that Xu Tian did not ask Tang Bingyan to arrange for him to join Tang's core company, but instead concealed his identity and worked in an entertainment company under Yan's Group, he was initially somewhat relieved.
But Xu Tian's recent performances have given Mr. Tang new worries.
"Grandpa Tang, don't be angry. Xu Tian may just care too much about Miss Tang. This is also a good thing."
The young man noticed that Mr. Tang was unhappy, and he was secretly happy, but on the surface he pretended to defend Xu Tian.
"Okay, you are not allowed to tell anyone else about this."
Mr. Tang no longer wanted to listen to the young man's complaint: "I'm tired, you should go back first."
"Then I'll come see you another day."
Seeing that his goal was achieved, the young man said no more and retreated respectfully.
After the young man left, Mr. Tang's tense back relaxed. He leaned on the sofa and rubbed his brows tiredly.
It seems that after Bingyan returns from Lighthouse Country, he should find time to talk to her about Xu Tian.
…
Lighthouse country.
The am company they are going to negotiate with this time is not in the capital of the lighthouse country, and the plane cannot reach it directly.
In the evening, they passed through a small town with a population of only a few hundred thousand and checked into the only hotel in the center of the town.
As soon as Tang Bingyan entered the room, she took out her laptop and held a video conference with the company executives who were still in China.
Seeing her desperate attitude, Xu Tian knew that she would definitely not eat until the meeting was over, so he walked out of the room and wanted to use the hotel kitchen to make a late-night snack for Tang Bingyan himself.
When Xu Tian just got out of the elevator, he saw Chen Xiaoxiao and a dozen bodyguards behind him standing in the lobby inspecting the interior of the hotel.
When Chen Xiaoxiao saw Xu Tian, she strode over with a cold face.
"Xu Scumbag, the security of the Lighthouse Country does not depend on China. I advise you not to run around. If something happens, you will cause trouble for everyone!"
Xu Tianzheng was angry at Tang Bingyan for forgetting to eat and sleep at work, so when he saw Chen Xiaoxiao coming to make trouble, he was not in such a good mood and just ignored her.
He looked at Chen Xiaoxiao expressionlessly, and then sneered:
"I just want to remind you not to run around. If you look dark, you are in bad luck. You will be in trouble recently."
"You are responsible for Bingyan's safety. If something happens, it will also affect Bingyan's schedule."
