Outsider: The Fifth Young Master of the Kang Family

Chapter 248 One-day trip
"Yes, be good. Pour a cup of tea for your aunt."

Coco turned around and saw that Da Lao Guang looked reluctant, so she became childish and said something with a smile, deliberately teasing Da Lao Guang. Da Lao Guang was dumbfounded and couldn't respond at all, and didn't move his hands.

Seeing the boss like this, Lao Dou took the initiative to speak to ease the awkwardness. He asked, "A Zhuan, you have been in Hong Kong for so many years. Are you doing well now?"

"It's not bad." Ah Zhuan laughed cheerfully, "In a place like Hong Kong, as long as you work hard, there is gold everywhere."

"You've been here for so many years, so you must have saved a lot, right?" The second sister-in-law had been arguing with Ah Zhuan just now. Now that she knew Ah Zhuan's identity, she took the initiative to ease the relationship.

"It's just so-so. I only have a few shops and houses. I'm not a rich person in Hong Kong, but I can barely be considered middle class." Coco's eyes widened when she heard what A Zhuan said, but no one else noticed this. They were all sighing that Dou's cheap stepmother was really rich.

After asking Coco to pay attention to his expression, Ah Zhuan turned around and continued to say to Lao Dou: "Ah Shou, where are you staying when you come to Hong Kong this time?"

"I just arrived today and plan to stay at an old friend's house." said Lao Dou.

"There are so many of you, can you accommodate us?" Ah Zhuan continued to ask.

Dad nodded and said, "It can accommodate him. He is a famous dentist in Hong Kong. The balcony alone is over a thousand feet big." Dad's words were also a huge exaggeration. A thousand feet is more than ninety square meters.

Luo Zhuan was very pleased with what the old man said. "You already have a place to stay, so you don't need me to take care of you, right? Well, I'll treat you to morning tea tomorrow morning."

"Just tea?" A-Zu disagreed. He was so rich, so why treat him to morning tea? He provoked her, "We are going to take a day trip to Hong Kong with a group tomorrow. If you want to treat us, we can do it in the evening."

"It's dinner tonight, then." Although Ah Zhuan agreed, his tone was a little stiff.

The meal lasted until after nine o'clock. Since the Kang family still needed to go to Uncle Mai's house, they simply agreed with Zhuan and her daughter on where to eat tomorrow night and left first. After the Kang family left, Coco said with a playful look on her face: "Pretty girl, it seems that you taught me since I was a child that I should not brag? Even if I brag, I can't brag too much, right?"

Ah Zhuan looked uncomfortable, and she tried to cover up her embarrassment by drinking tea. Coco continued, "You just had a falling out with him, and you said you own several shops and houses. Aren't you exaggerating too much? How are you going to get along with him in the future?"

"If you want to exaggerate, of course you have to brag." Ah Zhuan had his own reasons, "Back then I didn't care about them coming to Hong Kong City on their own. Now if I don't say anything about it, it would be embarrassing. I'm telling you, don't let it get exposed. In the future, we'll be together. They're in Guangzhou and we're in Hong Kong City. Even if we have contact, as long as we don't say anything, they won't know our true situation."

Coco thought for a moment and said, "Okay, as long as you like it." As for Lao Dou, of course he was just talking nonsense. The Kang family came to Uncle Mai's house. Actually, Uncle Mai's house is not a balcony of 1,000 square feet, but the whole house is 1,000 square feet. "Sorry, Lao Mai, I'm bothering you this time." Lao Dou shook hands with Uncle Mai as soon as he entered the door.

"Hey, why are we still talking about this after all these years? Didn't I also stay at your house when I went to Guangzhou before?" Uncle Mai waved his hand and asked everyone to sit down while making tea.

"Dad, this is the balcony you said is over a thousand feet tall?" A-Zu pointed to the balcony outside which was less than ten square meters. "Uncle Mai, do you know how my dad described your mansion just now?"

Uncle Mai shook his head. When A-Zu wanted to speak, his father hurriedly stopped him and said, "Haha, Old Mai, do you still remember A-Zhuan who married my father?" Uncle Mai thought about it and nodded. His father continued, "She came to Hong Kong City. I haven't heard from her for decades. But I met her as soon as I came to Hong Kong City today. Do you think I can help but piss her off?"

Uncle Mai laughed when he heard what Lao Dou said. As a friend for decades, he was very familiar with Lao Dou's personality. After laughing, he made tea and distributed it to everyone, then said, "Lao Kang, you too, what else do you have to brag about? All your sons are so capable. I know the rest, A Rui, I know them all."

Among Kang Qirui's brothers, Kang Qirui and Uncle Mai are the most familiar with each other. When Kang Qirui was studying in Hong Kong, he had eaten several meals at Uncle Mai's house. Therefore, this time Kang Qirui naturally sat next to Uncle Mai. Uncle Mai patted Kang Qirui and continued, "I heard before that you are an associate professor at the university, right?"

Kang Qirui nodded, "Yes, Uncle Mai, let me introduce you, this is my wife Zhu Wanling." Kang Qirui was still very grateful to Uncle Mai, who took good care of him during the years he studied in Hong Kong. This may be the feeling of the older generation, they really care about their good friend's son as if he were their own nephew.

After a brief exchange of greetings, everyone went to rest. It was already late today and we still had to go out to play tomorrow. Although Uncle Mai's house was not big, it had four rooms. His three children did not live with him. The old lady and her husband shared a room, Kang Qirui and his three brothers shared a room, and Xianglan's second sister-in-law, Xingzi, and Zhu Wanling shared a room. Of course, it was very crowded. Kang Qirui originally wanted to take everyone to a hotel when he came to Hong Kong.

But when he was about to book a hotel, his father had already agreed with Uncle Mai to stay at Uncle Mai's house. So he didn't book the hotel, because it would be very rude to Uncle Mai if he said he would go to Uncle Mai's house but didn't go in the end.

The next day, after everyone got up, Kang Qirui talked to everyone and found Uncle Mai and said, "Uncle Mai, we won't be coming back tonight. Don't worry, we ran into my uncle's stepmother. She wanted to invite us yesterday, but my uncle said he had already discussed it with you, so we didn't go to her place yesterday."

Uncle Mai was a little unhappy at first, but after listening to Kang Qirui's words, he nodded in understanding and said, "Of course you want it. It's rare for you to meet each other, so just take this opportunity to erase what happened in the past. You should also persuade your father. You are all so old now. It doesn't matter who was right or wrong in the past. Just let it go."

After breakfast, we said goodbye to Uncle Mai and started a one-day tour of Hong Kong with the tour group. The tour group's route was quite full, going to Lantau Island to see the Big Buddha, the Avenue of Stars in Victoria Harbor, and Madame Tussauds on Victoria Peak. However, Kang Qirui felt that it was not very down-to-earth, so he suggested to everyone that he would take everyone to experience the authentic snacks in Hong Kong tomorrow.

"Oh, I don't know what happened today. Business from several stores came together, and I was so busy that I almost forgot to treat everyone to dinner." When Ah Zhuan hurriedly arrived at the agreed restaurant, the Kang family had been waiting for nearly half an hour.
