Chapter 305: Chapter 0305: Specialty Dishes

In a uniquely characteristic Chinese restaurant in the city center of Su City, inside an elegantly set-up private room, Tang Xin personally poured a cup of tea for Chu Ge, "Mr. Chu mentioned wanting to develop in Su City, may I ask which aspect you are interested in?"

Chu Ge lifted the teacup and took a slight sip, smiling as he said, "Still strategizing."

At the time he had casually used that as just a pretext; he never actually intended to come to Su City for development.

Tang Xin smiled, "Our Tang Family in Su City might not be all-powerful, but we do have some influence. If Mr. Chu needs anything in the future, feel free to ask. You are now a distinguished guest of our Tang Family, and as long as I, Tang Xin, am here, I absolutely won’t let Mr. Chu suffer any losses."

By this time, Tang Xin couldn’t help but admire Chu Ge immensely, harboring a persistent curiosity in her heart, occasionally glancing at Chu Ge, hesitant whether to speak up or not.

Chu Ge, finding her hesitant and uneasy demeanor unbearable, couldn’t help but chuckle lightly and said, "Lady Tang, if there’s anything you wish to ask, please feel free to do so."

Tang Xin took a breath of relief, she had been waiting for just that moment! She couldn’t hold it in any longer!

"I wonder, how did Mr. Chu identify that all those stones were waste stones? Could you perhaps... impart some skills to me?"

Tang Xin felt it might be inappropriate to speak so, cleared her throat softly, stood up, and bowed to Chu Ge, "Tang Xin wishes to become your disciple, Mr. Chu. Please teach me the ways of stone gambling."

"..." This Lady Tang, she’s really into stone gambling, huh.

Chu Ge felt embarrassed, after all, he didn’t know how to gamble on stones; he had simply used a little trick, using his True Qi to sense whether jade existed within those stones.

However, Chu Ge didn’t want to tell Tang Xin this, and instead tactfully refused, "Lady Tang, you’re too serious. We’re not much different in age, how could I take advantage of you?"

Tang Xin’s cheeks turned red, "How did Mr. Chu take advantage of me?"

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, while Huo Tianqian on the side drifted his gaze around, but his ears were attentively listening to the conversation here.

Chu Ge coughed lightly, easing the awkwardness, and said, "That’s not what I meant. I meant that my ability to win in gambling is purely luck, really... there’s no special technique."

Tang Xin looked a bit disappointed, resting her chin on her hands, "Actually, I know that there is a method that can quickly identify them, which is ancient martial arts. But my grandfather absolutely refuses to let me learn ancient martial arts, and none of the bodyguards around me know it."

Chu Ge’s lips parted slightly, increasingly unsure of what to say.

When facing Mu Bingtong, he naturally felt like flirting with her; when facing Nangong Man Sha, however, he could hardly muster any interest, and even had a sense of wariness in his heart, because a woman who overtly investigates you, a woman who is still ostensibly a virgin yet remains untouched amidst myriad entanglements, must be no simple character.

But today, facing Tang Xin, he felt a different kind of mindset.

Looking at the Tang Xin in front of him, he always felt an instant familiarity as if she were his own sister.

Thinking thus, he slowly raised his hand and gently stroked her hair, his movements tender and doting, "I think Old Master Tang must have his reasons for not letting you learn ancient martial arts."

Just like he currently didn’t want Mu Bingtong to know, it was actually a form of protection.

The sudden movement made Tang Xin startle, and then her cheeks flushed red, her delicate cherry lips slightly biting down, "I’ll go check why they haven’t served the food yet, I’ll hurry them along."

Hurrying the kitchen for food was a small matter that certainly needed no attention from Miss Tang; it was merely her being shy.

Chu Ge naturally didn’t point it out, nodding his head, the faint smile on his face cooling down after Tang Xin left.

"What’s wrong, Mr. Chu?" Feeling the chill emanating from Chu Ge, Huo Tianqian shivered without reason.

"This Chinese restaurant is already surrounded by people from the Tang Sect," Chu Ge said calmly as he sipped his tea.

"What?" Huo Tianqian stood up abruptly, somewhat shocked as he looked at Chu Ge, then walked to the window to look outside. Although he didn’t have Chu Ge’s profound Inner Strength, under Chu Ge’s personal guidance, he had also reached the Postnatal Perfection stage. He tried to concentrate and faintly sensed the fluctuations of Spiritual Power around them.

"What should we do now?" Huo Tianqian asked instinctively.

Chu Ge slightly hooked his lips, his corners tinged with a hint of wild arrogance, "For now, let’s not bother."

Huo Tianqian was momentarily stunned, then he understood why; with Tang Xin here, those from the Tang Sect naturally wouldn’t dare to mess with them.

Even if they dared to mess with them, with Chu Ge here, there would be no problem.

Huo Tianqian sat down, reassured, looking impassive as if Mount Tai was crumbling before him.

Seeing this, a flicker of appreciation flashed through Chu Ge’s eyes, but he still asked, "Knowing there are so many disciples from the Tang Sect outside, aren’t you afraid?"

Huo Tianqian looked up in surprise, "Why should I be afraid?"

"Oh?"

"Hehe, am I not aware of Mr. Chu’s abilities? With Mr. Chu here, I naturally don’t need to worry."

Huo Tianqian had completely submitted to Chu Ge, even looking up to him as a leader.

Chu Ge just smiled and said nothing more.

It took a while before Tang Xin came back, her cheeks no longer flushed, returning to her usual demeanor.

Following behind her was a waiter who placed their ordered dishes on the table and then left.

As soon as Tang Xin sat down, she couldn’t help but complain: "Today really is unlucky! To think we would run into Shen Conghai in this Chinese restaurant!"

"Shen Conghai?"

"He’s Shen Congwen’s younger brother! He lost a gambling stone bet to me previously! Then I made him kneel and bow to me! Today, Shen Congwen came to gamble with me to win back his brother’s face."

As it turned out, she still won against him.

Thinking about it made her feel satisfied.

"What puzzles me is, I originally wanted to tell Shen Conghai about Shen Congwen’s loss to tease him, but instead of getting angry, he actually applauded and praised, brothers indeed, how strange."

Chu Ge gave her a detached glance, then picked up his chopsticks to grab a piece of green vegetables and put it in his mouth, thinking coldly, there’s nothing strange about that.

In big families like these, it’s common for brothers to become enemies.

In the face of interests, kinship? Nonexistent.

However, such things would never happen to Tang Xin, because her two brothers, the eldest Tang Youwei engages in business, aiming to develop their Tang Family to rival the Six Great Families of Jing City, and the second, Tang Family’s State is devoted to martial arts, earnestly studying ancient martial arts, even taking a senior elder from the Tang Sect as his master.

Chu Ge gently glanced at Tang Xin; within a few seconds, that touch of sadness on her face disappeared, replaced by an eager and sweet smile.

She picked up her chopsticks and personally served Chu Ge some food, "Let’s not talk about these irrelevant things. Here, try some special dishes from Su City."
