Chapter 509 Is 816 still there?
Arrived outside the hot pot city.
Xu Kun subconsciously glanced at the sign and found that it was a chain store opened by Ren Yan.
The business of this restaurant is pretty good. It was already past 10:, and there were still a few tables of individual customers in the hall toasting each other. The hot and humid steam that had accumulated since the peak period covered the fully armed Xu Kun's face as soon as he entered the door.
He couldn't take off his sunglasses and wipe them, so he could only lower his head and roll his eyes as he walked inside.
The waiter came up and asked a few simple questions. After hearing Xu Kun tell the room number of the private room on the second floor, he enthusiastically led him upstairs.
Arriving at the private room, Xu Kun politely sent the waiter away, pushed the door open and walked in. He saw a large round table with many dishes on it, but only Liu Xiaoli was sitting at the bottom, feeling uneasy.
Seeing Xu Kun push the door open, she quickly stood up and greeted him, "Director Xu!"
Then I just stood there awkwardly, not knowing what to do next.
Xu Kun closed the door behind him, but did not go in. Instead, he asked suspiciously, "Just you? Didn't Miss Liu say she wanted to talk to me in person?"
"This, this..."
Liu Xiaoli didn't know how to explain it. She had originally thought of just inviting the person to the hotel and then everything would be explained without saying anything.
Unexpectedly, Xu Kun asked two question marks in a row, which directly ruined her plan B.
When Xu Kun saw Liu Xiaoli hesitating, he turned around and opened the door without saying a word - there was something weird about this matter, and he had already taken a certain risk by coming to the appointment. Now that the main person was not there, what was there to talk about?
"Director Xu, don't worry!"
Liu Xiaoli suddenly became anxious. If she let Xu Kun go like this, it would not be a bond but a grudge.
So she rushed forward and grabbed Xu Kun's arm.
In fact, it would be easy for Xu Kun to avoid her, or even just push the door and leave, and she might not be able to stop him - but since he was already here, Xu Kun still wanted to hear what the mother and daughter were trying to do.
So he hung one hand on the door, as if he might leave at any time, then turned his head and looked at Liu Xiaoli with a cold expression.
Liu Xiaoli was a little frightened by his condescending gaze, but she pulled her hands even tighter and said hesitantly, "Director Xu, can we sit down..."
Just when she was halfway through her words, she felt Xu Kun's struggle suddenly increase, and the door handle was pressed down.
In a hurry, she quickly changed the topic and said, "Xixi had a little accident. She will be here as soon as it is dealt with!"
Xu Kun asked back: "What was the accident?"
"This one……"
Liu Xiaoli couldn't come up with a good excuse at the moment, so she could only plead again: "Director Xu, can we sit down and talk?"
Xu Kun thought for a moment, took out his phone and checked the time, then said, "It's 10:42 now. The longest I can wait is 10:55."
As he said this, he gently broke away from Liu Xiaoli's pull and sat down diagonally opposite the seat where Liu Xiaoli had just sat.
Liu Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, but did not sit in the seat opposite. Instead, she sat down close to Xu Kun like a shy young wife.
She used to be used to a life of luxury, so how could she have ever been so proactive?
What's more, the target is a young man who is so much younger than herself. Just the action of sitting down can be as awkward and stiff as possible.
The two thighs, which were longer and tighter than those of most women, and more plump and smooth than those of most girls, bumped against the table several times, making the cups and plates on the table clink.
Liu Xiaoli became more and more embarrassed because of this. Even though she knew that time was precious, she still did not take the initiative to bring up the topic.
Her behavior completely confused Xu Kun, who thought that Liu Yifei was really coming, so Liu Xiaoli did not speak in a hurry.
So an awkward situation appeared in the room with two people sitting side by side, one with his head down and the other looking up, and no one taking the initiative to speak.
It was not until three minutes later that Xu Kun broke the silence: "Do you want to urge her?"
"This, I..."
Liu Yifei's phone had been turned off for a long time, where could Liu Xiaoli go to catch up?
But seeing Xu Kun taking the initiative to speak, she finally mustered up the courage, clenched her hands tightly under the table and said in a trembling voice: "Director Xu, please don't be angry. She is just a child and likes to throw tantrums. I'm sure she will be fine after I persuade her more."
"Ok?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Kun couldn't help but frown again. He originally thought that Liu Xiaoli didn't say anything because she was confident about it, but from what he heard, it was clear that the mother and daughter had different opinions, or Liu Yifei was quite averse to this.
He thought for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Xiaoli and asked, "Do you mean that after she comes, she may not be able to talk about things calmly, or that she may not come at all?"
"This……"
Liu Xiaoli felt so guilty that she wanted to bury her head in the ditch, but if she continued to hide the matter at this time, there would be no way to solve the problem.
So she gritted her teeth and mustered up her courage and said, "After all, I raised her with great difficulty. Even if she has a little temper now, she will definitely listen to me in the end!"
Haha~
The first marriage was to a second-generation elementary school student, the second marriage was to a well-known American lawyer, and the third... uh, it can't be considered the third marriage with Chen Jinfei. Anyway, it was a very hard and painful marriage.
Xu Kun was secretly complaining, and his expression became increasingly cold: "Since you all have disagreements among yourselves, why are you so anxious to ask me to discuss things? Can my time be wasted casually?"
As he said this, he pretended to stand up.
"Director Xu!" Liu Xiaoli hugged Xu Kun's arm reflexively, with half of her body pressed against him. Although she was not as rich and generous as Yuan Li, she was still far behind those skinny and pale girls.
When Xu Kun was hit by the ball, his first reaction was to break free and righteously scolded: "What are you doing?"
He was not being hypocritical, he was mainly worried that there were cameras hidden in the private room. If he didn't get to enjoy the main meal and instead got into trouble, that would be a huge loss.
After being pushed away, Liu Xiaoli felt ashamed and terrified, fearing that this would anger Xu Kun and cause his daughter to lose the opportunity to go to Hollywood and be completely frozen out by Huayi.
In a state of embarrassment and anxiety, she simply revealed her plan B: "Director Xu, after all, our Xixi is not a vixen who has never seen the world. We'd better take it slow, just like Chen Jinfei did back then..."
"The original Chen Jinfei?"
Xu Kun's eyes narrowed: "So, he and you two..."
"No no!"
Liu Xiaoli realized that he had misunderstood, and hurriedly shook the rattle in her hand as if to say, “When he was about to attack Xixi, he was suddenly arrested!”
Xu Kun looked at her for a moment, and confirmed that she was not lying, so he reached out and turned on the rice cooker, and took off his hat and sunglasses. Then, while unpacking the tableware, he said, "What exactly happened? Tell me from the beginning. There's no rush."
Ever since Liu Xiaoli said that Chen Jinfei almost succeeded, Xu Kun's vigilance dropped several degrees. After all, if this matter was exposed, it would definitely be a bigger deal than his philandering.
After all, they are godfather and goddaughter, and it involves ethical issues.
Liu Xiaoli was a little confused at first, but after carefully thinking about the three words "don't worry" that Xu Kun said, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and told him everything about Chen Jinfei's plan at the time.
Finally, she complained: "When I returned to China with him, I thought I was finding someone to rely on for Xixi, but who knew that I was actually inviting a wolf into the house. If I had known earlier..."
Xu Kun interrupted her and asked, "So, when casting for The Forbidden Kingdom was underway, you were planning to go to the United States to look for connections?"
"It was Chen Jinfei who wanted me to go. She said that I had lived in the United States for a few years and was more familiar with the situation there. If I could negotiate better terms with the agency there, it would also help Xixi to enter Hollywood in the future."
After Liu Xiaoli finished speaking, she added: "But this is just his superficial reason. In fact, he just wants to get rid of me so that he can take action against Xixi!"
Having said that, she couldn't help but angrily denounce Chen Jinfei.
But Xu Kun didn't sympathize with her at all, and continued to ask: "Did you realize it at that time?"
"This……"
"Tell the truth! Otherwise there's no need for us to continue talking!"
"This……"
Liu Xiaoli hesitated again and again, but still nodded awkwardly and said, "I, I'm not sure either, but I vaguely guessed it. Later, when Xixi went to visit him in prison, he took the initiative to admit it, and then I was completely sure of his ruthless heart!"
As she spoke, she became indignant again.
But in Xu Kun's view, although she hated Chen Jinfei's evil ambitions, she hated Chen Jinfei even more for making mistakes halfway and wasting her daughter's good opportunity to break into Hollywood.
At this time, the hot pot soup had already boiled. Xu Kun put in two plates of mutton. Seeing that the tableware in front of Liu Xiaoli was untouched, he took the initiative to help her open it.
"No, I can do it myself!"
Liu Xiaoli, who had been used to seeing Xu Kun's cold face just now, felt a little flattered at this moment, and reached out to grab it in panic.
However, Xu Kun still resolutely helped her set the tableware, and then asked calmly: "So you said you want me to learn from Chen Jinfei, how do you learn it?"
"This one……"
Liu Xiaoli's hand had just been on the chopsticks, but she retracted it back under the table after hearing what was said. She lowered her head and blushed as she stammered, "That's right, that's right, that's right..."
She kept saying "that's it" for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
However, Xu Kun had already gotten the answer, so he didn't ask any further questions. Instead, he asked her to start eating.
However, Liu Xiaoli had no appetite, and Xu Kun only ate until he was about 60% full. The whole meal lasted less than 20 minutes.
When Xu Kun got up and walked out, Liu Xiaoli was still a little confused, not knowing whether she should continue to keep Xu Kun or what to do.
At this time, Xu Kun had already disguised himself again and naturally extended his arms to her.
Liu Xiaoli hesitated for a moment, then hugged him tightly, like a dodder that had finally found support.
Go out, go downstairs, check out...
By the time they reached the road, there was no gap between them.
Xu Kun looked at the hotel across the street and asked, "Is 816 still there?"
“I just quit.”
Liu Xiaoli answered subconsciously, then came to her senses and said hurriedly, "We can also rent another room."
These words made Xu Kun completely relieved.
