Gorgeous Female Tenants

Chapter 268 Ouyang Family Banquet

Xu Xiangbei also ordered a cup of coffee for Gu Xiangyi, and the rich aroma of charcoal-roasted Blue Mountain coffee wafted through the air.

Xu Xiangbei said helplessly, "Dealing with foreigners is the most troublesome. I can’t even understand what they’re saying. Luckily, we’ve solved our issue. Let’s finish our coffee and head back."

Gu Xiangyi thought of something, grinning curiously while sipping her coffee, "Mr. Renault said something at the end, like asking me to send regards to someone, to whom was it? Let me think. Oh right, it was to Mr. Kalia. The pronunciation in the middle confused me a bit, it felt a bit like Italian. Who is this Mr. Kalia?"

Upon hearing Gu Xiangyi mention Mr. Kalia, Xu Xiangbei nonchalantly replied, "Kalia is another foreign friend."

Xu Xiangbei also guessed what Thomas whispered to Renault.

Mr. Renault’s respectful attitude towards him wasn’t because of his old friend Thomas but because of Mr. Kalia.

Thomas must have told Renault that he saved Mr. Kalia’s life.

Gu Xiangyi beamed as she laughed, women naturally love gossip. Curiously, she inquired, "I couldn’t tell, you know so many foreigners. How did you meet them? They seem to treat you quite nicely."

"I treated Mr. Kalia’s illness, so of course, he’s polite to me. Have you finished your coffee? Once we’re done, let’s head back. I’m really tired and need a good sleep."

Gu Xiangyi looked disdainful, "Tired so early in the morning; were you up to some indecent activities last night?"

Xu Xiangbei was both amused and exasperated. Indecent activities, as if! These past few days have been exhausting for your sisters, tiring as a dog, yet instead of being considerate, you mock me.

He said irritably, "Sigh, I’m emotionally drained. Shouldn’t we bring Xin Yan back to Jiangcheng and give up on that film? Although Earth Sea is a big city, it feels too chaotic and complex for us."

Gu Xiangyi looked indifferent, "Xin Yan finally passed the audition to become a movie star, and you want her to go back to Jiangcheng with you? Can’t you stand someone realizing their life dreams?"

Xu Xiangbei smiled wryly; it’s like being unappreciated for being good-hearted, fearing Xin Yan would be used by Huang Qinghai for revenge.

These thoughts were just Xu Xiangbei’s guesses; he couldn’t speak them aloud. He could only secretly hope Thomas was being alarmist and that Huang Qinghai wasn’t as bad as he said.

Seeing Xu Xiangbei silent, Gu Xiangyi teased, "Xin Yan has her own career now, and her legs are gradually recovering. Won’t you come back to Jiangcheng to accompany me?"

"Hehe, want me to return to Jiangcheng to keep you company? Great, Spring Villa is just the two of us left, how about we live together?"

"In your dreams, I was just teasing you. I’ve been busy with work recently. When you and your sister aren’t at Spring Villa, I usually stay at the company. Now with increased production orders, I have even less time for Spring Villa. Don’t worry, every few days, I’ll get a part-time worker to clean Spring Villa, ensuring it’s as clean as when you left."

Since hearing Thomas’s warning, Xu Xiangbei felt leaving Gu Xinyan alone at Qinghai Film Company was like sending a lamb to the tiger’s den.

He was uneasy, saying, "I should stay in Earth Sea for a while. Once Xin Yan adapts to the set environment, I’ll return to Jiangcheng."

Hearing this, Gu Xiangyi smiled, her eyes tender and affectionate, "Sometimes, I think you’re really responsible, a real man. I’m very grateful for how you take care of my sister."

Xu Xiangbei, with a mischievous smile, stroked Gu Xiangyi’s slender white hand, "Of course, you two are my wives in the future; of course, I have to be responsible to my wives."

With a smack, Gu Xiangyi swatted Xu Xiangbei’s hand away, "I praise you a little, and you act so smug."

When Xu Xiangbei and Gu Xiangyi returned to the apartment, they bumped into Ouyang Jiahui at the door. Gu Xiangyi jokingly asked, "Beauty, no articles to write today, or did the magazine fire you?"

Ouyang Jiahui, swinging her grapefruit explosion hairstyle, had a reluctant expression, "Today’s a day off for me, but I’ve got good news; lunch is on me today."

Gu Xiangyi had a teasing smile, "What made you think of buying me lunch? Too bad, I already booked a flight for noon. Plus, you don’t seem very sincere, asking someone to lunch while looking so bitter."

Ouyang Jiahui knew Gu Xiangyi was teasing and rolled her eyes, retorting, "If you can’t make it, great, I can save on one person’s meal cost."

She turned to ask Gu Xinyan, "What about you, Xin Yan?"

Gu Xinyan’s smile was gentle like water, her slender finger pointing at her sister, "I have to take my sister to the airport, so I probably can’t join you either."

Ouyang Jiahui’s big eyes focused on Xu Xiangbei, waiting quietly.

Xu Xiangbei, grinning cheekily, said, "My schedule depends on the quality of the food. If it’s a big feast, then I’ve got time."

Ouyang Jiahui shrugged, as if completing a major task, her expression relaxed and her smile ambiguous, "It’s just a small family dinner, nothing fancy, sorry Xu Xiangbei, you won’t have time to come. Great, I’ve sent invites, and none of you are coming, so my dad can’t blame me."

Xu Xiangbei laughed cheekily, "What kind of family dinner? Can the little niece explain? I’m not quite getting it."

"My dad wants me to invite you all over for a meal; do you understand, Mr. Dimwit?"

Gu Xiangyi asked puzzledly, "So it’s at your house, not at a restaurant?"

"Can a restaurant be called a family dinner?"

Xu Xiangbei laughed, winking at Gu Xiangyi, "A family dinner is the epitome of hosting; it’s a very high honor."

Gu Xiangyi’s face showed playful amusement and gave her sister a glance, "Oh, if it’s a family dinner, I’ll have to postpone returning to Jiangcheng. Our Xiangyi Group is a partner with Dragon Tiger Group; if the general manager of Dragon Tiger Group’s Earth Sea Company is hosting, we must give face."

Gu Xinyan understood, her white finger playfully pointing at her sister, smiling gently, her smile as clear as water, "If my sister doesn’t fly back at noon, I don’t have to take her, and I can also join you for lunch at your house."

Xu Xiangbei widened his eyes, "Dear niece, if my cousin is inviting us, how can I not give face? I’ll definitely come, just as you’re driving, all four of us in one car."

Ouyang Jiahui made a face, "Hypocrites, didn’t you just say you weren’t coming? Now you’re all going when you hear my dad’s invitation."

She called her dad, Ouyang Yude, her voice sweet as a Barbie doll, "Dad, my friends agreed; we’ll be there for lunch."
