CH 37

Although Luo Xing didn’t come from a wealthy family, his abilities were obvious to all. Many people knew and admired him.

Luo Xing came here with the boss and the wife of his company.

This time, President Yu’s silver wedding anniversary reception is not only a symbol of identity, but also a good opportunity to expand contacts. It seems that Luo Xing is highly valued in the company.

After the last time they’d had dinner together, Su Yuli had stopped regarding Luo Xing as a threat.

Luo Xing nodded a greeting. Su Yuli went back to the room with Lin Suiyan. He was a little seasick.

“Take a rest.” Lin Suiyan massaged Su Yuli’s head, and said softly, “The reception will not start until tomorrow. I’ll show you around this island in the evening.”

Su Yuli closed his eyes and hummed. Then he fell asleep during Lin Suiyan’s massage.

When Su Yuli woke up, he felt refreshed and looked out the window. The lights were on, on the island, and it was already night.

Lin Suiyan was sitting by the window looking at the nighttime view. When he heard the movement, he turned around and asked, ” Are you awake?”

Su Yuli hummed, got up and said, “I’m hungry.”

Lin Suiyan smiled and said, “Then let’s go out and eat. “

Su Yuli quickly packed up and went out with Lin Suiyan. There was a special dining place on the island. The ones cooking were a team of chefs brought by the Haotian Group with a good service attitude, fast serving speed and good taste.

Halfway through the meal, Su Yuli got up and went to the bathroom. He stood in front of the sink to wash his hands. There was someone next to him.

Su Yuli turned his head and was slightly startled when he saw the person: “Gao Peng? Why are you here?”

Gao Peng was also stunned when he saw Su Yuli, and then he said happily, “Our hotel is in charge of this dinner, and the chef took me with him. We came here together. When I came, I was wondering if I would meet you here, but I didn’t expect to see you.”

Su Yuli smiled and said, “The chef brought you here? Congratulations, he values ​​you very much. Do well and let the chef see your efforts. “

Gao Peng said, “Well, I will.”

When Su Yuli came back, he mysteriously said to Lin Suiyan: “Guess who I just met.”

During this time, Su Yuli and Lin Suiyan attended a lot of receptions, and they knew a lot of people. Today on this island there should be a lot of familiar guests. Even if he tried it was really hard to guess.

Lin Suiyan answered honestly: “I can’t guess.”

“I saw Gao Peng.” Su Yuli said, “Their chef is in charge of this dinner party and brought him with him.”

Lin Suiyan snorted, “In fact, the hotel where Gao Peng works belongs to Haotian. They’re usually responsible for all the banquets in Haotian.”

“Really.” Su Yuli cut a piece of steak and ate it, and said with a smile: “But Suiyan, you said it was a coincidence. We’ve met Gao Peng so many times in such a short time. It was simply…”

Having said that, Su Yuli didn’t know what to think, and couldn’t help frowning. He muttered, “Yes, what a coincidence.”

Lin Suiyan knocked on the table, as Su Yuli said, it was a coincidence.

If it was an accident that Su Yuli accidentally bumped into Gao Peng, and it was also an accident that he met Gao Peng after he’d been kicked out by his landlord by the roadside. What about this time?

Gao Peng is an employee of a hotel owned by Haotian. It didn’t take long for him to get to know Su Yuli, and then President Yu’s silver wedding reception had soon been held.

He and Su Yuli were invited to come, and Gao Peng happened to be brought over by the chef.

With so many people on this small island, the chances of the chef and the guests bumping into each other were very small.  And yet they’d only been here for a few hours when Gao Peng “just happened” to meet Su Yuli in the bathroom.

Once or twice is a coincidence, but so many coincidences wasn’t normal. It was almost like… it had been pre-arranged.

Thinking of this, Lin Suiyan’s eyes darkened slightly. He would not suspect anyone for no reason, but people were unpredictable. Especially in this world, where many people want to hurt Su Yuli.

Since it was about Su Yuli’s safety, he didn’t dare to relax in the slightest.

Lin Suiyan thought for a while, opened WeChat, and sent a message: “Help me check someone.”

Lin Suiyan turned off his phone and smiled when he saw Su Yuli’s staring off into the distance, chewing steak absentmindedly. He said: “I thought you would say it was fate.”

Su Yuli swallowed the food in his mouth and glanced at Lin Suiyan disapprovingly, “It is fate between me and you. My fate can be spent on you. There’s no fate with other people.”

Lin Suiyan said, “Oh, so what’s going on?”

Su Yuli smiled and said, “I think, maybe God wants me to be friends with Gao Peng.”

He said that, but he thought to himself, no matter what, it was always good to be more careful. After all, in the book “Substitute”, there weren’t many normal people, but crazy people were everywhere.

As Lin Suiyan said, he has a lover, friends, and people who cared about him. Only by ensuring his own safety can he be responsible for them.

On the second day, Mr. Yu and his wife’s silver wedding reception was held as scheduled.

Today, the weather is fine, sunny but not scorching. Su Yuli was sitting with Lin Suiyan, surrounded by a sea of roses, and the air was filled with the refreshing scent of flowers.

Right in front of them, a series of photos covering everything that had happened during the 25 years that Mr. Yu and his wife have been together were playing on the big screen.

From the green youth they’d been when they’d first met to the frost and snow dyed hair on their temples in their fifties. Their appearance, figure and aura have all changed. The only thing that remains unchanged is their deep love for each other.

The host spoke passionately about their past. President Yu and his wife held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes.

After the host finished speaking, everyone applauded together. Some of the elderly people were touched and secretly wiped away their tears.

Su Yuli was only in his early twenties. He didn’t have so much life experience, and he didn’t have such a sensitive heart. When he looked at Mr. Yu and his wife, he just felt envious.

He thought to himself that when he and Lin Suiyan were older, the silver wedding…and the golden wedding anniversary would also be celebrated. There was no need to invite so many people. It would be enough to just invite some close friends.

Thinking like this, Su Yuli took out his mobile phone and approached Lin Suiyan, clicked, and took a photo with him. After Su Yuli finished taking pictures, he looked at the photos with satisfaction: “These are all memories for the future.”

Then he adjusted his phone and stretched his arms, “Husband, take another one.”

Lin Suiyan put a hand on Su Yuli’s shoulder. Su Yuli made a face, and Lin Suiyan laughed.

Click, the photo freezes this moment in time.

Su Yuli was in high spirits and took several pictures in a row. In the last one, when he pressed the  button, in addition to him and Lin Suiyan on the phone screen, Mu Lang’s smiling face also entered the screen.

Su Yuli was startled and almost smashed the phone on Mu Lang’s face.

Mu Lang said: “Your relationship is really good. It’s really enviable.”

Su Yuli glanced at the beautiful and hot-looking woman beside Mu Lang, and thought- what do you envy? You’re so romantic and unrestrained. The beauties around you are like clouds, changing every day. Others will surely envy you.

Mu Lang chatted with Lin Suiyan. Su Yuli wasn’t interested in their discussion but Mu Lang’s appearance reminded him of Ding Yuan.

He sent a message to Ding Yuan, saying that he was playing outside and would bring gifts to him and Grandma Ding when he went back. Ding Yuan was probably busy and didn’t reply to him as usual.

The banquet will be held soon. After the meal, they’d discuss business and make connections.

Su Yuli was a little bored, and said to Lin Suiyan, “I’ll go out to get some air. I’ll be back in a while.”

Lin Suiyan was talking to a middle-aged man when he heard, “Don’t go too far.” Su Yuli made a gesture that he knew.

At noon, the warm sun was pouring on the island, in the distance there was an endless blue sea and blue sky. The breeze was blowing, carrying with it the fragrance of flowers, making everything feel very comfortable.

Su Yuli stretched and was about to go around to eat when he heard someone crying nearby. The cry was very low, but because the guests were in the villa and it was very quiet outside, the cry was very clear.

Su Yuli turned his head and found a person sitting on the steps outside the door. The man had a chef’s hat in his hand and was secretly wiping away tears.

This scene was a bit embarrassing. Normally, Su Yuli would definitely walk away quietly, but the profile of the person is really familiar. Su Yuli thought about it and walked over.

Hearing the footsteps, the man on the steps raised his head, it was Gao Peng.

Seeing Su Yuli, a look of panic flashed in Gao Peng’s eyes, and then he became embarrassed. He wiped his eyes, stood up and said in a hoarse voice, “Wen, Mr. Wen, why did you come out? Isn’t the banquet still going on?”

Su Yuli didn’t answer this question. He looked at Gao Peng and saw that Gao Peng had wine stains on his head, face, and clothes It was obvious that someone had poured a cup of wine over his head.

Su Yuli frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Gao Peng forced a smile, and said, “Just… I’m not quick enough with my hands and feet, and I accidentally offended the guests, and was taught a lesson.”

Su Yuli knows that some people think that the service staff are inferior. they think that they can show off after spending money, and have no respect for other people.

There are actually many such people in life. Apart from comfort, Su Yuli didn’t know what to say. He took out the handkerchief from his suit pocket and handed it to Gao Peng, ”Go and wash up. Then tidy up and change into some clean clothes.”

President Yu prepared rooms for all the guests on the island, including the chef team who came over.

Gao Peng was depressed and Su Yuli didn’t trust him alone, so he went back with him.

Gao Peng politely poured water for Su Yuli. Su Yuli said, “No, you can wash up. I’ll wait for you outside.”

Gao Peng hurriedly said: “Just sit here, I…”

Su Yuli smiled and said, “Don’t get me wrong. “As you know, I have a family, and I always have to avoid suspicion. I’ll wait outside. You can come and find me after you wash up.”

Gao Peng hesitated for a while, then nodded: “Well, all right.”

Su Yuli walked out of the room, and with nothing to do he took out his mobile phone.

After such a long time, Ding Yuan still hadn’t replied to the message. He sighed lightly; he was a really busy person.

Su Yuli played a few games of entertainment. The sound of water from the room had stopped, but Gao Peng still hadn’t come to open the door.

Su Yuli couldn’t help frowning, he knocked on the door, “Gao Peng, Gao Peng, are you alright?”

The room was silent, and Su Yuli knocked on the door again, but there was still no response. He thought of the news about the suicides of young people reported on the Internet, and his heart tensed.

Su Yuli was about to call someone to open the door, but found that the door was unlocked, so he pushed it open and walked in. He strode into the bathroom. There was no one in the bathroom, and he had a strange feeling. Then he heard a clicking sound outside, as if the door had been closed.

Su Yuli walked out of the bathroom to check the situation, and saw Gao Peng with a bath towel around his waist, bare-chested, standing behind the door and watching him.

Su Yuli put the phone in his pocket, glanced over Gao Peng’s scrawny shoulder bones, and frowned, “Gao Peng, what are you doing?”
