"This guy got married without even telling me. He planned to tie the knot on the sly."
Guo Xuyang grumbled.
He knew that Xu Dahai had held his wedding ceremony abroad and would have another one upon returning to China.
After all, given his family's status, they wouldn't just get a marriage certificate and have a collective wedding abroad without a proper ceremony back home.
"Are you guys close?"
Xu Yifan asked Guo Xuyang.
"He came to my wedding with Xiao Xi. We've gone out together before,"
Guo Xuyang replied.
"Was he also a soldier under Old Jiang?"
"Probably in the same system, but not led by Director Jiang.
Director Jiang is now focused on major affairs.
He rarely bothers with trivial matters anymore."
"I believe you about that. Old Jiang is also swamped every day.
But I did hear from your uncle that his good fortune is also approaching."
"I heard about it, but the date hasn't been set yet. The woman seems pretty good."
"She's alright. I heard she's an actress, makes movies."
"She's an actress from Xiao Xi's company. Su Ran should have a say in this."
Guo Xuyang commented.
"Are you talking about Sister Liu? She's a really nice person.
We even had dinner together a couple of days ago."
"I didn't expect this world to be so small, that you guys actually know each other."
Xu Yifan remarked.
Guo Xuyang also hadn't expected their circles to be so small, with Xu Dahai being Xu Yifan's distant nephew.
If Xu Yifan hadn't mentioned it, he would never have connected the two.
Even though they shared the same surname, there were many unrelated people with the same name.
Moreover, Xu Dahai didn't even know Li Minxi.
No, if he didn't know Li Minxi, shouldn't he know Li Minyu?
Did those two never discuss their families?
But on second thought, it made sense.
Although they had some interaction, they weren't that close.
And Xu Dahai used to be a staunch bachelor, so it was understandable that he wasn't interested in women.
To say he wasn't interested in women would be inaccurate; it was just that he wasn't particularly interested in the women around him.
If we go by the situation back in Shanghai, he was quite the player.
Of course, given his family background, any woman would flock to him with just a gesture.
Who would have thought that picking and choosing would benefit Xu Lili?
Could this Xu Lili also be his relative? Guo Xuyang thought with a touch of mischief.
"What are you thinking about? You've got a smirk on your face."
Pi Xiaoqian nudged him.
"Nothing. Aren't you eating your meal? Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"
"Auntie is still here. Your expression like that might make people overthink things."
"Eat your meal.
Go to my shop and take any room you like later.
I need to take Auntie back to the villa."
"You go ahead and do your thing. Did you ask Mr. Wu about it?"
"No. I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't had a chance to call him."
"Didn't he call you? I told him yesterday that Xiao Xi had given birth."
"He must have been tied up with something."
"If he was tied up, how much time does a phone call take?"
"He forgot."
"You're kidding me, right?"
"Did they come over and I didn't see them?"
"I'll make a call after we finish eating and find out."
"Then let's eat quickly. Auntie looks like she's almost done."
Guo Xuyang said, pushing the lamb soup closer and serving a large bowl.
"Hey, save some for me.
You eat this stuff every day. When I visit occasionally, you should at least give me my fill."
"Didn't I bring some back for you guys last time? Didn't you eat it?"
"We ate it, but we didn't get enough.
Today, I'm going to be a rich man's guest and feast. Eat plenty.
When I leave, make sure to save some good pieces of meat for me."
"There's no bad meat here.
When you leave, go find Liu He.
I'll have him save more for you."
"Now that's a good brother. I'll buy you drinks when I get back."
Pi Xiaoqian winked.
Guo Xuyang knew he wasn't up to anything good.
He's already been married once, yet he's still interested in that sort of thing.
He really didn't know how Wang Yu managed to be with him.
