To come here and find 25 million is incredible; you can't even win the lottery!
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Having made such a big profit, it would be unreasonable not to treat everyone. Miss Yang, please suggest a place. You can eat whatever you want, it's on me. Don't worry about my money this time!"
This wasn't a lie. Zhou Xuan thought to himself, "Even if it's expensive, it can't cost more than 100,000 or 200,000. The change on that check is 5 million. Right now, even if he were asked to buy ten pangolins to eat, he would be willing to do it."
Yang Xuan smiled and said, "Alright, it's rare to find someone who lets me take advantage of them. Let's eat Chaozhou cuisine, it's the most famous cuisine around here!"
"Anything is fine, you're more familiar with the place anyway." Since Zhou Xuan had offered to treat, he naturally had to be generous and let her choose a place.
Fu Ying smiled but didn't say anything. She thought to herself that Zhou Xuan's check hadn't been cashed yet, so he probably didn't have that much money. She knew Yang Xuan's financial situation well; this meal would probably cost tens of thousands of yuan. For them, it was a small matter, just an ordinary meal. But Zhou Xuan was different. Fu Ying knew from the beginning that he worked hard for two thousand yuan a month. How could he afford to eat at his place? Despite her thoughts, she still felt bad about paying the bill in the end.
There are many famous restaurants serving Chaozhou cuisine in the south, but this area is not in the city center, but in the suburbs, so there are fewer restaurants.
Yang Xuan had no energy left to drive into the city. She found a restaurant called "Fuxing Shark Fin Restaurant" nearby.
The restaurant wasn't very big, with two floors and exquisite decor. There weren't many customers at the time. A waitress led Zhou Xuan and his three companions to a quiet room on the second floor, which was much less noisy than the main hall.
The waiter brought out two menus, and Yang Xuan ordered several dishes without any hesitation. Zhou Xuan didn't mind and let her order.
Then Yang Xuan handed the menu to Zhou Xuan and said, "I ordered what the three of us girls will eat. You can order whatever you want. Everyone has different tastes, so just order what you like."
Zhou Xuan flipped through the menu and, not wanting to skimp on himself, ordered a "Dried Crab Tower", a "Stir-fried Osmanthus Shark Fin", a "Divine Duck", and finally a three-pound grouper.
Fu Ying couldn't help but glance at Zhou Xuan. Was he really going to bleed money? Judging from Zhou Xuan's appearance, he didn't seem to be putting on an act. Last time, she had asked him to treat her to a meal. Although it was only a few dozen yuan, Fu Ying felt that he had worked very hard, so she was thinking of him. After all, the check hadn't been cashed at the bank yet.
A short while later, the waitress brought out three bowls of bird's nest and abalone soup. Girls like to eat this because it's good for beauty and skin.

This meal wasn't actually too expensive; it wasn't as much as the pangolin meal. In many places, food isn't expensive; it's the drinks that cost money. www.keN
Having been hungry for most of the day, no one was going to be polite. Zhou Xuan himself was even less likely to be polite. He had spent thousands of dollars on a meal, so why should he pretend to be polite?
Yang Xuan's residence was in the city. On the way back, she couldn't stop praising Zhou Xuan's good luck. Fu Ying was also happy for Zhou Xuan with a smile, saying, "It's an unexpected happy event. It's all thanks to him that I found a gift for my great-grandfather's birthday!"
Yang Xuan chuckled, then suddenly bit her lip and asked softly, "How has Cousin Junjie been lately?"
Yang Xuan didn't turn her head when she asked the question, seemingly just casually greeting someone. However, Zhou Xuan, who was sitting next to her, noticed something unusual.
A blush crept onto Yang Xuan's face, and Zhou Xuan immediately thought to himself, "This handsome cousin might be her lover, otherwise why would he be so shy?"
Fu Ying replied with a smile, "Whether it's good or bad, why don't you fly to America and see for yourself?"
The "Jun Jie" cousin that Yang Xuan calls is Li Jun Jie, the son of Fu Ying's second aunt, Fu Xian Ni. The second aunt married a Taiwanese man, and later the whole family moved to the United States. Yang Xuan's great-grandfather and Fu Ying's great-grandfather were classmates and friends when they were young. Later, one went to the United States and the other went to Hong Kong.
When Yang Xuan was sixteen, she stayed at Fu Ying's house in the United States for a month. It was there that she met Fu Ying's cousin, Li Junjie, and fell in love with him. After returning to Hong Kong, she never forgot him. However, Li Junjie seemed to have no interest in romantic relationships. What he loved most was traveling to famous mountains and seas and doing adventurous and exciting things.
Yang Xuan scoffed at Fu Ying's answer, dropped the subject, and focused on driving.
Yang Xuan's apartment is in a residential complex in Nanshan District. The building she lives in is about twenty or thirty stories high. When Zhou Xuan took the elevator, he saw that the highest floor on the elevator buttons was the twenty-eighth floor.
Yang Xuan pressed number 27. The elevator had three sides covered with tempered glass mirrors, so no matter which direction you came from, you could see what other people were doing through the mirrored glass in front of you.
It was somewhat effective in preventing thieves or groping. There were two other men in the elevator with them, and their eyes were on Fu Ying and the other two girls from the moment they entered, scanning them back and forth.
Zhou Xuan went unnoticed by them, but the two men, one on the seventh floor and the other on the eleventh floor, went out. Everyone likes to look at pretty girls.
Upon reaching the 27th floor, Zhou Xuan, whose apartment was in Building B, was taken aback as soon as he entered the room.
This house is at least 200 square meters and has two floors. That is to say, the upper floors are connected duplex units. The interior decoration and furniture are extremely luxurious.
The presence of a 60-inch LCD TV on the wall in the living room was a telling sign. As soon as Yang Xuan sat down on the sofa in the living room, she said to Fu Ying and Wang Jue, "Sister, I think you don't need to stay in a hotel for the next few days. You can stay here with me. There are rooms available. Anyway, I'll be staying here all by myself, and I just want you to keep me company!"
Zhou Xuan was surprised. Wasn't it a waste for her to live in such a big house by herself? The house was over 400 square meters in total, which was enough even for a family like his!
The standards of wealthy people are just different!
Yang Xuan glanced at Zhou Xuan, snorted, and said, "You're the first man to move into this place!"
Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Oh, that's an honor. If Miss Yang finds it inconvenient, I'll stay at a hotel instead."
Fu Ying continued, "Never mind, let's do it for convenience. It'll only be a few days anyway. Once you get your passport, we'll leave immediately."
Zhou Xuan looked around the room, stroked his chin, and chuckled, "Is there a supermarket nearby? I want to go buy some clean clothes and daily necessities. My suitcase is still at the Chongkou Hotel; it's useless there!"
"I know, I know!" Yang Xuan snorted. "You're the only one who doesn't have any? My sister and Wang Jue are both going to buy some too. We can just go later. What are you complaining about!"
It seems this girl is in a bad mood because Fu Ying didn't answer her question or tell her about her lover. It's best to talk to her less to avoid getting upset.
Living with several beautiful women is not a good thing, especially since none of these women are likely to have a relationship with him, Zhou Xuan.
Fu Ying and Yang Xuan are both from wealthy families, which is not related to him. Even Wang Jue didn't take him seriously. Wang Jue is a double PhD, an elite person, and understands several languages. Naturally, he wouldn't look at a nobody like him.
Fortunately, Zhou Xuan was very self-aware and never worried about this matter. Everyone has their own fortune, and the rich should live the life of the rich. Besides, he might not necessarily have a bad life in the future. He might not earn as much as Wang Jue, the PhD graduate. Does she have the ability to gamble away a piece of jade worth 25 million?
Now that he had a place to stay, Zhou Xuan no longer needed to spend all his time with these girls, running around aimlessly. He bought some daily necessities and two sets of clothes from the supermarket, as well as some books that he needed to catch up on. After that, he locked himself in his room and didn't come out.
Yang Xuan's house is too spacious. The three girls live upstairs, while he lives downstairs alone, which is very quiet.
They eat out twice a day, and sometimes order takeout. Fu Ying, Yang Xuan, and Wang Jue spend their days wandering around.
Zhou Xuan would practice the ice energy of the pill in his left hand whenever he had free time. After practicing, he would read books and lived a fulfilling and carefree life. However, in his spare time, he would think that the pill in his left hand was becoming purer and purer, and its color was turning more and more golden. The skin on his left hand was also turning a little yellow. He worried that one day his hand would become as white as gold.
I wonder if there's any solution? The origin of this icy aura has always been a mystery, but I suppose it's related to that blackened stone.
I was thinking of asking Brother Hong to help me get into the research institute to check if I could find anything, but now Brother Hong's life is uncertain, so there's nothing I can do. I've been worried about Brother Hong all these years in the South, and Brother Hong is the only person who has helped me without expecting anything in return!
