Chapter 444 Meeting at the Eldest Brother's House
[Xiaohan, I think I'm going to meet my older brother.]
The first person Zhang Xiaoyu thought of to chat with was Shu Han.
She had no idea that this news was like a bombshell, leaving even the usually calm and rational top student stunned for quite a while.
Then the video call came through.
"Xiaohan?"
"What did you mean by the message you just sent me? Do you want to meet in person?" Shu Han immediately got to the point and asked.
Zhang Xiaoyu, hugging a pillow, leaned against the headboard and nodded, saying, "Mm."
Shu Han sighed: "Have you thought it through? When? Where? Who do you want to see? Is it safe? Are you alone?"
Zhang Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Wow~ Xiaohan, you have so many questions."
Shu Han: "Because I was scared by you. You've only known them for a short time, and you suddenly want to meet them in person? I'm not sure about these things, so it's hard for me to feel at ease."
"But why did you say 'seems'? Is it not yet finalized?"
Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head: "The time and place have been determined. The reason I say 'it seems' is because I still don't feel like it's real. It feels like I suddenly made an incredible decision."
Shu Han: "..." These words only made her feel more worried about meeting in person.
"Is it really okay?"
Zhang Xiaoyu shook her head: "I think it should be fine. Although I feel a little nervous now, and I'm wondering if this decision was too hasty! But I think they all seem to be looking forward to meeting me, and I've already met a few of them, and they're all very nice people."
Shu Han knew about the older brothers Xiao Yu had met, one of whom was even from the same school as her, because Xiao Yu would tell her about live streaming during their conversations. Especially when Xiao Yu told her that her first meeting with Qin Zheng was when Qin Zheng came to her school, Shu Han felt a very complicated mix of emotions.
Later, she inquired about Qin Zheng at school, mainly about his character and personality. It seemed that there were no problems with him, which put her at ease.
She and Xiaoyu have a very good relationship, just like at the meeting she just learned about; neither of them holds back from each other.
Shu Han also shares her life with Xiao Yu, but her daily routine is probably more boring than Xiao Yu's.
But when we suddenly have to meet, I still subconsciously worry.
Shu Han: "Tell me the specific process." She wanted to see if those people harbored any malicious intentions.
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded: "Okay, I'll tell you everything~ There should be quite a few people to meet, because you know, I have quite a few older brothers, and they'll probably all come."
Shu Han frowned almost imperceptibly: "There are so many adult men, and you're the only girl. It's dangerous."
Zhang Xiaoyu blinked: "It's okay, I'll send you their license plate number and address later. Xiaohan, you'll protect me~"
"And more importantly, they've been showering me with so many gifts lately, I feel like I have nothing to offer and I should be perfectly safe."
If she were a wealthy and beautiful woman, she would likely be much more vigilant.
But she wasn't; she was just an ordinary female college student, which immediately reduced the danger level.
Shu Han frowned: "Don't say that. They're only giving you gifts because there's something they can profit from you. Don't think too highly of them."
She belatedly realized a problem: Xiaoyu really thought too highly of her older brothers and had no sense of vigilance whatsoever.
If they try to take advantage of her, Little Fish will be in danger!
"The time is this weekend, and the location is an older brother's villa."
"What?!" Shu Han exclaimed in shock.
Zhang Xiaoyu touched her face: "Um...it sounds a bit dangerous, but there's actually a reason for it."
Shu Han was still alarmed: "How could you choose their house as the location? That's too dangerous! You should at least choose a public place so I can meet you nearby."
"This location is absolutely unacceptable; it must be changed," Shu Han said earnestly.
Luckily, Xiaoyu told her about this beforehand; this was too reckless!
Zhang Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment: "Xiaohan, let me tell you the reason for choosing this location first."
She had mentioned meeting him casually before, but they hadn't set a time or place yet.
Then yesterday, Brother Zhiyan suddenly brought up this matter, not to urge her to meet, but to provide her with a location to choose from.
But it's not Paper Ink Brother's house, it's King's house, or more accurately, a villa under King's name.
She was a little confused when she first heard it. Zhiyan told her that the meeting place could be King's villa? If it was Yuan's villa, she wouldn't be so surprised.
"Brother Zhiyan, are you and King that close? Can you visit his house anytime, and even borrow his villa?"
We communicated via voice call, and since we had met before, it wasn't too awkward.
The other person's voice was as pleasant as ever, though somewhat deep, steady, and with a touch of magnetism.
“I asked him privately, do you remember he has a villa in the suburbs?” Zhiyan asked.
Zhang Xiaoyu nodded, then realized the other person couldn't see her, and quickly replied, "I remember, it's the villa with the wild persimmon tree, right? King sent me lots of fresh persimmons later, they were delicious~"
Paper Inkstone Bro: "Yeah, that's the place. But did he send you persimmons?"
Zhang Xiaoyu laughed and said, "Yes, it's a super big box! Maybe I made a sound too hungry when we were chatting, so he just sent it to me. King is so kind!"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone; it could have been my imagination.
Soon after, Paper Ink Brother's steady voice came again.
“I asked him, and there are still some persimmons left on that tree. You like them, right? So we discussed it, and we decided to meet at that villa. You can see them in person and pick some yourself.”
Zhang Xiaoyu's eyes widened, her voice somewhat flustered: "So, Brother Zhiyan, is it for me? You don't need to do all this for me. King's villa and stuff, it feels like a waste of his talents."
That's King's villa! His daily residence! Zhang Xiaoyu never thought of using such a high-class venue!
And it was all for her sake. Zhiyan went to King, whom he wasn't that close to, to tell him this. King might be shocked when he heard it.
Good heavens, why does she feel a little guilty just listening to it? It's like Zhiyan-ge sacrificed something for her.
Paper Ink Brother: "What's the big deal about using such a large amount of material? If you like it, then it's great and suitable. What do you think? Of course, this is just an option I'm giving you. You don't necessarily have to choose King's villa. If you think other places are more suitable, then you can make the decision."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "No, no, no, of course I think King's villa must be amazing! But, this is not only troubling you, but also King, isn't it?"
It sounded like a lot of trouble, and King didn't seem like the hospitable type. She felt he was the kind of person who valued privacy and personal space, and she felt it would be too much of a hassle for him!
"No, I don't find it troublesome. Actually, I said at the beginning that if he was willing, I could repay him a favor later."
"Then I'd better not! Brother Zhiyan is going to owe King a favor because of me? No way!" Zhang Xiaoyu refused forcefully upon hearing this; it was too much trouble for Brother Zhiyan!
Paper Ink Brother: "I don't owe anyone a favor. He said it wasn't necessary. He just said if you like his villa and are sure you want to meet there, then he can provide it."
"Huh? You're really not just being polite?" Zhang Xiaoyu asked instinctively, then quickly explained, "That's not what I meant! I'm just so shocked!"
Paper Inkstone Bro: "I'm not just being polite, I'm sincere. Have you confirmed the meet-and-greet with King?"
Zhang Xiaoyu: "I did mention it, and my older brother should know. But because I haven't decided on the time and place yet, I haven't officially sent out a message. King didn't seem to explicitly say he would definitely come, but he didn't explicitly refuse either. I guess it depends on the specific situation."
Paper Ink Brother: "If the location is his villa, then he should come."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "Mm."
After all, this is where King would live.
Paper Inkstone Bro: "Are you free this weekend?"
Zhang Xiaoyu was still pondering whether or not to choose King's villa. After all, the other party had offered it, and it would seem ungrateful of her not to go!
It might make King think that she doesn't even want his villa, that she has incredibly high standards! That would be a terrible impression!
Moreover, Brother Zhiyan also mediated between them, and she didn't want to waste his kindness.
"Yes, I'm free." After answering, Zhang Xiaoyu came back to her senses. "How about this weekend?"
Isn't this a bit too fast?
Paper Ink Brother: "No, it depends on when you prefer. Just choose a suitable time."
Zhang Xiaoyu: "..." It still depends on when my older brother has time, right?
"Brother Zhiyan, are you free this weekend?"
"Yes, I'm free."
Looking at her phone, Zhang Xiaoyu continued, "Then, then let me ask the other brothers if they're free this weekend?"
"Ok.
It's only Tuesday, there are still several days to go.
Even after hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaoyu was still a little dazed. Mainly, she hadn't expected Zhiyan Ge to do something like this; she felt he genuinely cared about her.
It was something that had absolutely nothing to do with him; it was something she was supposed to do herself. Besides, she had already boasted that she would choose a good place.
I did indeed pick out several restaurants and cafes online that were suitable for meeting up, but I still need to visit the physical stores and look for other places to see if there are any better options.
After all, because of them, she already had a seven-figure sum in her bank account before she even graduated.
Then came a lot of good news. My brother messaged them one by one, saying he was available all weekend.
There's even more great news: even the Wind Emperor and Silver Emperor, who aren't in this city, have time to fly over!
Their work in H city can begin this week, and then they can attend a meeting over the weekend.
The timeframe was quickly set.
After the location was revealed, some of the gang leaders were quite shocked.
However, after Zhang Xiaoyu explained the reason, they quickly accepted it. Anyway, if she liked it, they had no objection.
