Tang Long, seeing this, finally felt relieved.
Inside the Treasure Hall.
Su Wen was fooling around with Chu Fei, and the two were still discussing the issue of living together in the future. Chu Fei had already set the time for Su Wen to return home at night, the times he could use the bathroom during the day, when to get up in the morning, and what meals to prepare for the three meals a day... Su Wen felt dizzy listening to it all.
He had already made up his mind to stay for at most three to five days.
Then.
Find a place to live and leave!
Otherwise, living with this little demon, he would be driven to death sooner or later.
"Alright, it's not early anymore. Let's go to our place," Chu Fei stretched lazily, her mood greatly improved.
"Okay!" Su Wen felt like he was heading to the execution ground.
At this moment, Tang Xiaoyao stepped into the Treasure Hall.
"Is Su Wen here?" Tang Xiaoyao's eyes kept looking around.
"Who's calling me?" Su Wen turned his head.
Chu Fei also looked towards the door.
"It's you?"
"Tang Xiaoyao!"
"Pervert!"
The three spoke at the same time, and the Treasure Hall fell silent.
"Do you know each other?" Su Wen looked at Chu Fei.
"Chu Fei, who is this pervert to you?" Tang Xiaoyao pointed at Su Wen.
"Tang Xiaoyao, why are you here?" Chu Fei immediately became unhappy.
Although Su Wen hadn't figured out the situation yet, it was clear that Chu Fei and Tang Xiaoyao knew each other.
"Since we all know each other, it's easier to handle. Let's take one thing at a time. Chu Fei, you ask first, Tang Xiaoyao, you wait a moment," Su Wen said, not wanting the two women to argue.
Chu Fei snorted coldly but still followed Su Wen's suggestion: "Tang Xiaoyao, why are you here at the Treasure Hall?"
"I'm looking for Su Wen," Tang Xiaoyao answered coldly without even looking at Chu Fei.
"Ha ha, that's hilarious." Chu Fei pointed at Tang Xiaoyao, "If you're looking for Su Wen, don't you know what he looks like? I remember you just called him a pervert. How funny!"
"Are you Su Wen?" Tang Xiaoyao looked at Su Wen.
"Well... there should only be one Su Wen in the Treasure Hall. I don't know why you're looking for me. We only met today, right? You're not here to settle accounts with me, are you? I want to clarify, everything has nothing to do with me, it's you..."
Before Su Wen could finish, Tang Xiaoyao shouted, "Shut up, don't say another word."
"Wow, looks like there's a secret between you two." Chu Fei got excited, "Tell me, tell me quickly. Su Wen, if you tell me, I'll take care of your dinner tonight."
"Really?" Su Wen was somewhat tempted.
"Of course. Whatever you want, I'll have my cousin make it for you," Chu Fei said, but it felt a bit off.
"You dare!" Tang Xiaoyao shouted loudly.
Su Wen was startled. He looked at Tang Xiaoyao, feeling that doing this wasn't right. How could a man betray someone for just one meal? At least it should be two, no, three meals.
"Hmph, boring!" Chu Fei was somewhat dissatisfied that Su Wen didn't speak.
"That... it's your turn to ask," Su Wen looked at Tang Xiaoyao.
"Su Wen, why are you with Chu Fei?" Tang Xiaoyao asked a sharp question.
Su Wen was silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer.
Seeing this, Chu Fei said, "I'll answer this. Su Wen is now an employee of the Treasure Hall, and the owner of the Treasure Hall is my grandfather. It's his first day at work today, and my grandfather and I came to see him."
Su Wen nodded, "That's about it."
"So, the Treasure Hall also arranged your accommodation," Tang Xiaoyao finally understood the situation.
"Yes!" Chu Fei answered for Su Wen again, "Su Wen is about to move into my place. I don't know what your relationship with Su Wen is, but I'm living with him under the same roof. Do you mind?"
Tang Xiaoyao was stunned and quickly said, "Su Wen, don't live with her. Come live at my place in the future."
Su Wen was taken aback. What was this all about?
When did he start living with Chu Fei? This would cause misunderstandings if said out loud.
"Seems like there's something going on. Are you reluctant?" Chu Fei looked at Tang Xiaoyao provocatively and couldn't help but get closer to Su Wen.
"Su Wen, right? What you're saying is scary. We only met today, and you're asking me to live at your place. Isn't that a bit too fast?" Su Wen scratched his head.
Tang Xiaoyao was both angry and embarrassed, "You pervert, what are you thinking? You still don't know anything."
"What should I know?" Su Wen was very confused.
"Phew!" Tang Xiaoyao took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling, clearly upset by Su Wen, "I'll explain it briefly. This job was arranged for you by my father. My father's name is Tang Long, and he and your father are sworn brothers. I came to find you today because my father asked me to take you to our place for dinner, and he plans to have you live at our place in the future. Got it?"
"Your father, Tang Long?"
Su Wen was stunned.
He had heard this name more than once. When he was back home, his father would often mention a few names, one of which was Tang Long. This time, the phone number his father gave him was also Tang Long's. He wasn't stupid and, connecting the dots, he understood the situation, but it all seemed too coincidental.
"Hmph, if it's not my father, then whose father?" Tang Xiaoyao glared at Su Wen, "Pack your things and come to my place right away. Stay away from this witch."
"Who are you calling a witch?" Chu Fei was unhappy, "Su Wen, what's good about going to her place? Come with me. I'll tell you, my cousin is extremely beautiful. If you can see her every day, your life won't be in vain."
"That... sounds a bit exaggerated!" Su Wen clearly didn't believe it.
"Su Wen, come to my place, and I won't hold the morning incident against you," Tang Xiaoyao increased the stakes.
"Come to our place, and you won't have to wash dishes anymore," Chu Fei also made a concession.
"Come to my place, and my mother's cooking is delicious."
"Come to our place, and you won't have to cook anymore."
"Come to my place, and you won't have to wash clothes."
"Come to our place, and you won't have to buy groceries."
...
The two women kept making offers, and Su Wen was almost drooling.
The situation had completely reversed, hadn't it?
He had become a hot commodity.
If women always argued like this, he would really hope they argued every day.
After an unknown amount of time, Tang Xiaoyao's phone rang, and the caller was Tang Long.
"Xiaoyao, how's it going?" Tang Long's voice came through.
"Dad, there's a bit of a problem," Tang Xiaoyao said softly, "I want Su Wen to live at our place, but a woman insists that Su Wen live with them."
"A woman?" Tang Long was confused.
"That woman is my arch-nemesis, known as the 'Little Witch' at school," Tang Xiaoyao explained quickly.
"I see." Tang Long chuckled on the phone, "Give the phone to Su Wen. I need to talk to him."
"Okay!" Tang Xiaoyao didn't know what Tang Long was up to.
"Here, my father wants to say a few words to you," Tang Xiaoyao handed the phone to Su Wen.
Su Wen nodded.
Knowing that the person on the other end was his father's comrade and had just helped him find a job, he was very grateful. He picked up the phone and said politely, "Uncle Tang, thank you for helping me find a job."
"That's nothing. Your father and I are like brothers, so arranging a job for you is no big deal," Tang Long thought for a moment, "Su Wen, since you're new to Jiangning, come to my place for dinner tonight. As for where to live, you can choose wherever is more convenient for you."
"Understood, Uncle Tang," Su Wen replied.
"Good. We have a task to complete, so I'll hang up soon. I'll come back as soon as the task is done. Have dinner first, don't wait for me," Tang Long said.
"Okay, Uncle Tang," Su Wen said, and the call ended.
He returned the phone to Tang Xiaoyao, thinking a lot. Although he had never met Tang Long, he could feel Tang Long's concern from his words.
"Have you made a decision?" Tang Xiaoyao looked at Su Wen.
"Where do you live?" Su Wen asked.
"332 Qingyun Road," Tang Xiaoyao said casually.
"Qingyun Road, huh?" Su Wen recalled the map of Jiangning and quickly made a decision, "Let's go to your place first. As for where to live, I'll stay with Chu Fei. Her place is closer to the Treasure Hall, which is more convenient for work."
"Yay!" Chu Fei made a V sign.
Tang Xiaoyao huffed, "Let's go!"
Su Wen nodded, "Okay."
"Don't forget to come back tonight," Chu Fei added.
"Give me your address first, or how will I find my way back?" Su Wen looked at Chu Fei, "By the way, tell your grandfather that I appreciate his trouble today."
"Stop rambling. Give me your phone number, and I'll send you the address. Also, I'll have someone deliver your big bag to you later," Chu Fei said impatiently.
"Thanks a lot," Su Wen smiled, as this saved him a lot of trouble.
After Su Wen and Tang Xiaoyao left.
Chu Lao came down from the second floor, looked at Chu Fei, and said, "So, Su Wen is gone?"
"Gone, but when he comes back, I'll give him a good scolding," Chu Fei said, but then felt something was off. She looked up and saw Chu Lao glaring at her fiercely.
"Grandpa, what do you want for dinner tonight?" Chu Fei quickly changed the subject.
