"What are you talking about... I want to take your suit to soak, otherwise it will be difficult to wash after the tea dries!"
After hearing what I said, Xiao Jingwen glared at me, but her cheeks turned a little red.
"Ahem...I see."
Seeing this, I had no choice but to take off my outer suit jacket, but fortunately my inner shirt was fine, otherwise I would probably have nothing to wear. When Xiao Jingwen saw this, she rolled her eyes at me and took my suit to the bathroom.
"What happened? Why did you ask me to bring the tea? And...where is Xiaowen?"
Just at this moment, Xiao's mother came over with the can of tea, and put it on the coffee table. She turned around to look at Xiao Jingwen who ran to the bathroom, and then looked at me with a puzzled look.
I was about to explain when I heard a sudden voice ringing in my ear:
"Brother Lin, you said... this tea was given to you by your friend?!"

Chapter 116 Coming one after another
When I heard the voice, I immediately turned my head, and saw that after Wang Ming saw the can of tea on the coffee table, he looked at me with something strange in his eyes, which made me feel uneasy.
What's wrong?
"Yes what's the matter?"
After hearing Wang Ming's words, I nodded stiffly. Although I didn't know what the situation was now, after all, I had just said these words. I couldn't change my words now, right?
After hearing what I said, Wang Ming narrowed his eyes slightly, walked forward to look at the bottle of tea, and wanted to touch it with his hand... but then he withdrew his hand. Jiang Ying thought that it was inconvenient for him to touch it because of his sitting position, so just as she reached out her hand, she was grabbed by Wang Ming.
For a moment, not only Jiang Ying, but even I was a little surprised, and Wang Ming turned around and asked me slowly as if asking for my opinion:
"Can I see it?"
"Uh...ok."
After hearing what Wang Ming said, I almost thought that this box was made of some precious material. When Xiao's mother saw Wang Ming's look, she looked at Xiao's father with some confusion, while Xiao's father shook his head and silently poured himself another cup of tea.
"Brother Lin...let me ask if your friend works at Moqian Group."
When Wang Ming said this, he seemed cautious and even nervous, and Jiang Ying was obviously seeing her boyfriend like this for the first time.
When I heard his words, although I didn't show anything on the surface, I was shocked in my heart, because the tone of his voice when he said this was not a question, but more like a statement.
How does he know about Mo Fushan... No, he seems to not know the relationship between me and Mo Fushan, but...how does he know about my connection with Mo Qian Group?
"Ahem, this..."
"It's okay, it's okay. If it's inconvenient for Brother Lin to tell you, just forget it. Just pretend I didn't ask."
Seeing that I was a little embarrassed, Wang Ming quickly waved his hand, signaling me not to take it too seriously, but there was a bit more importance in his eyes, or perhaps... respect.
"By the way, is there anything special about this tea?"
"Brother Lin...you don't really not know, do you?"
"What do you know?"
Stop being a riddle man!
Wang Ming saw that I really didn't know the twists and turns inside, so he looked at the can of tea in his hand again, then nodded as if to confirm, and slowly said to me:
"There's nothing special about this tea, it's mainly the jar that holds it."
"Jar?"
"If I remember correctly, this should be the special tea supplied to the Moqian Group. I have seen it at the company's annual meeting, but it is a welfare benefit only for the company's top executives. This is the first time I have tasted the real thing."
Huh? Wang Ming is actually from Moqian Group? Isn't he the general manager of Jinhai Hotel?
I was immediately filled with question marks, but then I realized that I usually don't pay much attention to these things, and my knowledge of the Mo Qian Group is limited to what I found on Baidu. The Mo Qian Group has made great achievements in various fields, and the Jinhai Hotel is a hotel under the Mo Qian Group... perhaps it's not surprising.
Jiang Ying, who was sitting next to him, was a little surprised when she heard Wang Ming's words, and then she grabbed Wang Ming's arm.
"Aren't you the general manager of Jinhai Hotel? Didn't the company give it to you?"
"How is that possible? I am a senior executive in the hotel, but if it is placed in the head office, I may be considered a middle-level executive. This tea is for the board of directors and some senior leaders. How can it be my turn?"
After hearing Jiang Ying's words, Wang Ming couldn't help but smile at himself. After hearing his words, Jiang Ying seemed to understand the value of his words. Then she covered her mouth and looked at me with great surprise and envy.
"Is Brother Lin so powerful?"
"No, no, they were all given to me by friends."
I waved my hands quickly after hearing Jiang Ying's words, and after hearing our conversation, Xiao's mother frowned and asked Wang Ming worriedly:
"Then this can of tea can't be very expensive, right? How much does it cost?"
"I have heard of this. It is said that the tea fields and tree species here are carefully selected. The price Uncle Xiao just mentioned is still a bit conservative. As far as I know, the price of one or two ounces of this tea is over ten thousand, and this can..."
After hearing what Wang Ming said, Xiao's mother seemed to have weak legs and slowly sat down on the sofa next to her, while Xiao's father's hands were shaking slightly as he poured tea. For a moment, the air suddenly became quiet and everyone was looking at me with different eyes.
As for me? I'm tasting tea... no, I'm tasting money!
Is there really anyone who would spend tens of thousands of yuan to drink tea? This is too extravagant! It is poverty that limits my imagination!
"Brother Lin, what do you do for a living?"
At this moment, Jiang Ying suddenly brought up the topic again, but this time Wang Ming was not as calm as he was at the beginning. Instead, like everyone else, he was waiting for my answer nervously.
By the way...if I say now that I am just doing an ordinary job, will anyone believe me?
"Uh... um, I—"
"Lin Ran."
Just when I didn't know how to start, Xiao Jingwen's voice suddenly sounded from a distance, and this voice sounded like nature's sound to my ears at this moment. Seeing this, I quickly stood up from the sofa and looked in the direction of Xiao Jingwen.
"Hey, what's wrong, Sister Wen?"
"When I touched my pocket just now, I found a card inside. It seems to be quite important."
Xiao Jingwen said this and took out a card from her suit. It was only then that I realized that the card in Xiao Jingwen's hand was the gold card that Mo Fushan had given me before. I was stunned when I saw it.
What was even more stunned was Wang Ming who was sitting opposite me. When he saw the gold card that Xiao Jingwen handed to me, he stood up from the sofa in an instant, staring at the gold card.
"By the way, Brother Lin, was this also given to you by your friend?"
"..."
After hearing Wang Ming's words, I didn't know what to do and could only nod blankly. This time, Wang Ming didn't say anything, but just stood up from the sofa silently, then took my hand and took me to the side, then held my hands with both hands, looking serious and nervous.
"Brother Wang, what are you doing?"
"Brother Lin, tell me the truth, what kind of job does your friend...or you do?"
When Wang Ming said this, his eyes were a little dull, and he looked very shocked and sweating. Although I felt something was wrong, I pretended to be calm and asked:
"Is there anything special about this card?"
"Of course it's special! As far as I know, only... only Mr. Mo can issue this gold card to other people in the company. I've been a manager in the hotel for such a long time, and I've only come across this kind of card once or twice. Brother Lin, you..."
After Wang Ming finished speaking, he wanted to ask me something else, but then he closed his mouth and stared straight behind me. Seeing this, I slowly turned my head and saw Xiao Jingwen standing behind me. I don't know when. The strange expression on her face scared me.
Xiao Jingwen's words were also very simple, just five simple words -
"Come here!"
Chapter 117 Yanhong
After hearing what Xiao Jingwen said, I was stunned for a moment, but I didn't expect that Xiao Jingwen saw that I didn't move, so she simply pulled my arm and pulled me aside. This posture scared Wang Ming. He wanted to say something, but seemed to not know how to say it. In the end, he had to pretend not to see it.
"Sister Wen, what...what happened? There are so many people here?"
Seeing this, I knew what Xiao Jingwen was trying to do, so I quickly laughed it off and tried to change the subject.
But I don’t know if it’s because Xiao Jingwen knows what I’m thinking, or if she has gradually gotten used to the feeling of being looked at strangely by people around her. Although her face was slightly flushed, she still frowned and whispered to me:
"What's the matter with your can of tea? I thought my dad guessed wrong, but I just heard Wang Ming say that your can of tea is worth tens of thousands of yuan."
"I didn't know that, didn't I? I didn't know that my... ahem, the tea my friend gave me was so expensive."
But she didn't seem to believe the words "friend". She looked at me, then at Wang Ming, and then suddenly changed the subject as if she had thought of something:
"This tea should be given by your student's father, right?"
"Sister Wen, how did you know?!"
I was stunned when I heard Xiao Jingwen's words, and Xiao Jingwen crossed her arms and said to me slowly:
"Oh...it turns out to be the case. It seems that I was right."
So it was just a guess?
When I heard what Xiao Jingwen said, my eye twitched suddenly. However, I thought Xiao Jingwen would complain that I brought such an expensive gift, but she did not mention it.
"Secretary Gao has mentioned something about you to me. Also, I talked to the housekeeper for a while during the last general meeting. So I know a little bit about you."
Hearing her say this, I couldn't help but think of what happened at the previous election conference. If I remember correctly, Xiao Jingwen did chat with Uncle Chen for a while. In addition, Xiao Jingwen was a graduate student taught by Secretary Gao, so it didn't seem strange that she knew something about me.
"But you've been very busy lately, filming a movie and teaching other people. I haven't had a good talk with you about your absence from class last time."
"Uh... this..."
As Xiao Jingwen spoke, she put her hands on her hips and leaned slightly towards me. Looking at the surging waves of her breasts, a sense of visual oppression came over me. After hearing her words, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
But just as I was thinking about how to put it, Xiao Jingwen sighed and chose not to continue to pursue the matter of my last absence from class.
"Forget it. I'm sorry for bothering you to come over and interrupting your rest. I can't say that to you. Sigh... next time if you have something to do, remember... ahem, remember to say hello to me in advance."
Xiao Jingwen, who had just pretended to be strict, saw that I looked a little embarrassed, and there was a hint of hesitation in her eyes. In the end, she softened her heart and did not punish me. I couldn't help but sigh that although she looked strict on the surface, she was actually soft-hearted.
Other people may have a sharp tongue but a soft heart, but Xiao Jingwen is probably made of tofu.
At this moment, a burst of noise in the living room interrupted our conversation. Wang Ming seemed to have someone calling him. It seemed that there was something going on at the hotel, as if a big client wanted to book a private room for tomorrow.
"Well, aunt and uncle, Wang Ming and I will leave first and won't disturb you all."
"Hey, Xiaoying, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing Jiang Ying and Wang Ming start to change their shoes and leave, Xiao's mother couldn't help but greet them. Jiang Ying looked at me, then looked at Xiao Jingwen who was standing next to me, smiled silently, and then slowly said to Xiao's mother:
"We are delaying our cousin's important life event by staying here. Anyway, it doesn't matter if we have a meal here. We can come back when we have time... That's it, aunt, we are leaving. You don't have to see us off!"
"Hey, this kid..."
When Xiao's mother saw Jiang Ying and Wang Ming put on their shoes and got up to leave, she turned around and looked at Xiao Jingwen and I who were standing there in a daze, feeling inexplicably hurt, and smiled and shook her head, but didn't say anything to try to keep them.
Father Xiao repacked the can of tea and handed it to me. I tried my best to refuse it. Although it was a can of Dahongpao, it was something I had given away and I couldn't just take it back.
Besides, no one around me knows how to drink tea, and I don’t really like it.
Although... ahem, this may make people think it's tasteless, but in my opinion, Dahongpao may not even be as delicious as the iced black tea that costs three yuan a bottle in the convenience store. Wouldn't it be a waste of food if I drank it?
Besides, Xiao Jingwen always takes care of me at school. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. I don’t think it’s a loss to give this tea to Xiao Jingwen’s family.
"Xiao Wen, it's not easy for Xiao Lin to come to our house. You can cook a few of your specialties. You can't let him come for nothing."
"Mom, who is your biological child?"
After hearing what her mother said, Xiao Jingwen looked at her mother with some anger, but she still tied her apron and tied her hair consciously.
"Hey, if you don't feel sorry for your man, you won't have anywhere to cry if he gets kidnapped. There aren't many good guys like Xiaolin nowadays. I warn you... don't learn from the nonsense on the Internet now."
"mom--"
Xiao Jingwen blushed when her mother said this. She was so anxious that the hair band hanging on her mouth fell to the ground. I was embarrassed when I saw this, so I coughed twice and took the opportunity to explain:
"Well, Auntie, Sister Wen and I are really not like what you think. We are really not boyfriend and girlfriend."
When Mother Xiao heard what I said, she immediately laughed, held my hand, patted it, and said kindly:
"Hey, you young people should discuss yourselves. I won't get involved. Anyway, Auntie only has one thing to say: just be good to Xiaowen. The house and the car are not important."
Holy shit! This is... the legendary mother-in-law in my dreams!
To be honest, after hearing what Xiao's mother said, I was stunned for a moment, but feeling Xiao Jingwen's deep gaze, I came to my senses and did not respond to her words.
Xiao's mother didn't say anything, but just smiled cheerfully, and then urged Xiao Jingwen to cook quickly so as not to delay me from going home to rest in the evening.
