Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 235 Going to Thailand for tea?
"30% is determined by fate, 70% depends on hard work, only those who love to work hard can win."

Father Su enjoyed the dinner very much. Everyone believed him immediately when it came to the authenticity of the wine. He felt that his persistence during this period was effective and that the impression of his hometown had been greatly improved. Therefore, he drank a lot. When the mother saw him like this, she said, "My dear father-in-law, you have drunk too much. I will go and make you a pot of Kung Fu tea to sober you up."

It wasn't just Su's father who got drunk. His father, his second brother, and Kang Qirui also got drunk. They got even drunker and fell asleep. Only Su's father was still somewhat sober. He sat down in the living room and said to Tianxiu who was watching cartoons, "Tianxiu, why are you still watching TV? Didn't you say that we have a math test at school tomorrow, Monday? Why don't you go and review it?"

"Let's talk about it after you finish watching this." Tianxiu kept his eyes fixed on the TV and had no intention of going back to his room to review.

"What are you still watching?" Father Su took the remote control and turned off the TV. "Well, if you can get more than 95 points in the test tomorrow, I will take you to the Cathay Hotel for tea."

"Really?" Tianxiu was a little unhappy about not being able to watch TV, but his expression changed immediately after hearing what Su's father said. He asked expectantly. Su's father nodded and said affirmatively: "Of course, we businessmen use our teeth as gold. If you get good grades, it must be true that your father-in-law rewarded you."

Tianxiu stood up and was about to go back to his room to review. After he took two steps, his eyes suddenly rolled. Seeing that Su's father was half drunk, he tentatively said, "If I do well in the exam tomorrow, you will take me to Thailand for tea, right?" He deliberately said Thailand instead of Cathay Pacific.

Su's father drank a little too much tonight, and now he was half drunk and didn't realize anything was wrong. He said drunkenly: "Good job on the exam, if you do well, then go." Tianxiu looked like he had succeeded in his evil plan. After high-fiving and shaking hands with Su's father, he ran back to his room triumphantly to review.

The next evening, when Tianxiu came home from school, he immediately found Su's father, who was drinking tea and chatting with Kang Qirui in the courtyard garden, and said, "Father-in-law, you are going to bleed a lot this time."

"Heavy bleeding?" Father Su touched his nose, "No? My nose is not bleeding." Kang Qirui couldn't help laughing. Just as he was about to explain the meaning of heavy bleeding in Cantonese, he heard Tianxiu impatiently say, "No, I'm not talking about your nose bleeding. I'm talking about money. You're going to spend money."

"What's the expense?" Father Su looked around, not understanding what Tianxiu meant.

Tianxiu took out a test paper from his schoolbag, handed it to Su's father, and said proudly with his hands on his waist: "You know how to do it! Hehehe." Su's father took the test paper, opened it, and smiled: "Wow, 97. A good grandson is a good grandson."

"You said yesterday that there would be rewards if you score above 95 points?" Tianxiu hinted.

Father Su nodded and said, "Of course I said that, Guotai, let's go for tea. Well, today is Monday, and you don't have to go to school on Saturday and I'll take you there." He admired Tianxiu's test paper and promised directly.

"What Cathay Pacific? You said yesterday that you were going to Thailand." Tianxiu was upset when he heard about Cathay Pacific, and said with a grievance. Father Su was completely confused when he heard him say Thailand. He drank too much yesterday and was not sure whether he was talking about Cathay Pacific or Thailand.

Kang Qirui watched Tianxiu grow up, and when he saw Tianxiu's expression, he guessed that this guy was probably bewitched. He didn't expose Tianxiu, thinking that he would ask him alone later. Father Su asked Tianxiu: "Thailand? Did I really say that?"

"Yes, you told me loudly last night. I didn't believe it at first, but you said it twice and said that you are a businessman and you treat your teeth as gold." Tianxiu said.

"Did I really say that yesterday?" Father Su frowned. He was not sure if he said it or not. He did drink a little too much yesterday. He basically remembered what Tianxiu said, but he remembered that he did not mention Thailand. However, he was not sure. He was afraid that if he really drank too much and mentioned Thailand and then did not fulfill it, then all his efforts during this period would be in vain. Everyone would still think that he, a Chaozhou man, was a liar.

Tianxiu nodded very firmly, "Yes, we even high-fived and made a pinky promise. Father-in-law, you don't want to go back on your word, do you? I understand. After all, it costs so much money to go to Thailand. I understand if you don't keep your promise." Kang Qirui listened to Tianxiu chattering and felt more and more that something was wrong.

Father Su was directly stressed out by Tianxiu's words. He slammed the tea table, stood up and said loudly: "When did I say I wouldn't keep my promise? You just go to school with peace of mind these days. I will go to the travel agency to handle the formalities and take you there on the weekend." After saying that, he left, as if he was going to the travel agency to apply for a tourist visa immediately.

After Su's father left, Kang Qirui looked at the smug Tianxiu and exposed him: "Why did you cheat your father-in-law? Didn't your father-in-law promise you to go to Thailand?"

Tianxiu's smile faded for a moment, and he firmly denied it, "Uncle, don't talk nonsense. I didn't cheat my father-in-law. He was drunk and agreed to it."

"Hmm? It doesn't matter if you don't tell the truth. I'll talk to your father. But you know your father. He'll ask you with a feather duster." Seeing that he didn't admit it, Kang Qirui went straight to the big move. He took out his phone and looked like he was going to call the second brother.

Tianxiu quickly stopped Kang Qirui and said flatteringly, "Actually, this is what happened. My father-in-law first said he would take me to Cathay Pacific for tea. Uncle Yao, you know that tea at Cathay Pacific is too ordinary. So I told my father-in-law that we should go to Thailand. But my father-in-law really agreed. He really high-fived me and made a pinky promise."

Tianxiu deliberately changed the Cathay Pacific flight to Thailand when Su's father was drunk. Su's father agreed to the flight while he was drunk, so strictly speaking, even if Su's father did not fulfill the promise in the end, he could not be considered as being untrustworthy. However, we cannot say that Tianxiu was so or so, after all, Su's father did agree.

Therefore, Kang Qirui could only poke Tianxiu's forehead with his hand and said helplessly: "You are just being naughty. You are not even satisfied with drinking tea in Guotai. Just wait for your father to punish you."

"Uncle Yao, you just said that if I told you, you wouldn't tell my dad." Tian Xiu got anxious when he heard it. Kang Qirui looked at him, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then said, "If I don't tell you, your father-in-law won't tell you either? Your father-in-law wants to take you to Thailand, how could he not tell your dad? I can guess the truth about this matter, but your dad can't guess it? It's only because your father-in-law is stubborn and always wants to prove that he doesn't lie that he will be deceived by you."

The more Tianxiu listened, the more his brows furrowed. "Hmph, I don't care. I'm going to Thailand anyway." Tianxiu gave up and went back to his room after saying that.
