Chapter 427 427 My life is like walking on thin ice

Shen Lan had dinner with her father.

Now, her family's billiard hall has several permanent employees, but at this dinner time, the employee on duty during the day was about to leave, and the person on duty at night was late, so the father and daughter stayed there for a while. A shop that will.

Shen Lan ordered takeout, which happened to be good enough to eat while guarding the store.

Shen Ze kept waving his chopsticks in his hands and said as he ate, "Is there such a delicious takeout? I've never eaten it before. The meat is fried and fragrant, and it's not cold at all."

Shen Lan: "As long as you are willing to spend a little more money. I ordered it from our most upscale restaurant, and the waiter in their store delivered it to me in a thermal bag."

Shen Ze was stunned for a moment and asked, "How much do these four dishes cost?"

Shen Lan replied calmly: "More than two hundred."

Shen Ze took another mouthful of food and chewed it silently for a while. After swallowing, he said: "It's more than two hundred for a meal. If you go out to a restaurant seriously, I think it's okay, but ordering takeout costs this price and the consumption... forget it, it's not a big deal if you spend like this. But I just feel a little bit It’s not true, my daughter is already a wealthy boss, haha.”

Shen Lan: "I can't say I'm a big boss. In Shanghai, there are so many companies that are bigger than me. There are so many companies. Even if I just talk about people around me, Xu Zhe is bigger than me."

Xu Zhe was able to escape after having dinner with two girls and sneaked out to find Shen Lan in the name of going home. Before that, he sent Feifei home and discussed stock investment issues with Uncle Tang for a while.

Shen Ze nodded and said with emotion: "He really helped you a lot..."

Shen Lan: "Well, I was just about to ask."

Shen Lan asked, "Where do you want to go?"

The father smiled and said: "You really get confused when you mention him. Even if you want to leave your dad and go to dinner with him, you should first ask him if he has had dinner, right?"

Then, at the gate of the community, he got into Shen Lan's passenger seat.

That's right, in the message he received when he was with Feifei, Xiao Yezi and the others, Shen Lan sent - [When will your matter be finished? I want to talk to you. 】

----

Then she put down her chopsticks and said, "I want to go out."

After picking up the person, the short-haired girl deftly put down the handbrake and slowly stepped on the accelerator.

"Stop talking, let's eat!" Shen Lan interrupted.

But Shen Ze waved his hand: "Is it Xu Zhe who's looking for you? Don't worry, it won't waste anything in just two mouthfuls of rice. You ordered so many dishes, I can't finish them all by myself."

Shen Lan shook her head: "No, I just said we could chat when we have time."

The father asked again: "He didn't say he wanted to have dinner with you, right?"

Shen Lan said categorically: "No response!"

Xu Zhe asked while buckling his seat belt: "Where are we going?"

Father: "Stop making excuses. You acted like that just now. You just wanted to go find him and didn't even think about asking. I said, you weren't such a panicked person before. Why..."

Shen Lan hesitated for a moment, then picked up the chopsticks again.

At this moment, the girl's eyes narrowed and she took out the mobile phone in her pants pocket.

The father also joked: "I'm not allowed to say it, so will you let him say it? If he says that, how will you react?"

Xu Zhe: "I don't care, I just wanted to talk as you said, so..."

At this time, she raised her hand and smoothed the hair around her ears, revealing her delicate ears. Then she looked ahead and said, "I bought a house in Shanghai, and it's near Jiaotong University."

Xu Zhe was slightly startled: "The house you bought?"

Shen Lan: "You said that housing prices will not fall in recent years, and the long-term trend will only rise."

Xu Zhe nodded: "Indeed, it is good to buy a house, especially in the Magic City. You will definitely not lose money."

Shen Lan smiled and said, "I believe what you say, so I bought it."

"Do you believe what I say?" Xu Zhe scratched his head, "This doesn't seem like your style."

Shen Lan: "What kind of style should I have? I should have my own opinion. Do I have to refute what you said with reason to fit your impression of me?"

Xu Zhe: "Absolutely."

Shen Lan smiled and said inaudibly: "It's not like that a long time ago..."

Xu Zhe didn't hear what she was saying clearly, so he asked, "What did you say?" Shen Lan shook her head slightly: "It's nothing. Since you don't have any destination, I'll take you for a ride. Or, it's your turn. Come and take me for a ride?”

Xu Zhe: "I can do it, what do you want?"

Shen Lan: "Then you drive."

So they pulled over and the two changed seats, with Xu Zhe taking control of the steering wheel.

After getting back on the road, Shen Lan suddenly asked: "Do you know why I want you to drive?"

Xu Zhe: "Why?"

Shen Lan stared at the side of his face and raised the corners of her mouth slightly: "Because the driver must focus on the road. If I don't drive, I can focus on you."

Xu Zhe: "..."

One of Shen Lan's hands gently rested on his thigh.

Xu Zhe quickly reminded: "Don't make trouble, we are driving a car, safety comes first."

Shen Lan chuckled and said: "Of course I won't go too far, I just feel...even if I don't touch you for a day, it will be a bit uncomfortable."

These words made Xu Zhe feel a little itchy. When he reached the intersection ahead, he subconsciously chose to turn left.

Shen Lan asked: "Are you going to the southern suburbs?"

Xu Zhe: "Let's go to Nanjiao Square. There... well, you know."

Shen Lan smiled and said: "I understand, it means a lot to both of us. It's a pity that this is not our own car."

What was she going to do if it wasn't a rental car but her own car?

Xu Zhe's heart moved and he suddenly changed his mind: "Let's go to the hotel."

Shen Lan was startled for a moment, then smiled even more happily: "Okay."

----

His son didn't come home most of the night, so Xu Guowei, a father, should naturally ask. But he called once and didn't get through.

At 10:30 in the evening, my daughter-in-law Zeng Jing suddenly asked: "Xiao Zhe hasn't come home yet, and hasn't he said anything? Is he sleeping at home tonight?"

Xu Guowei: "I don't know, he didn't answer my call."

Zeng Jing: "How about asking Xingye or Feifei? Which one of them might Xu Zhe be with..."

Xu Guowei quickly persuaded him: "Let's not make trouble."

Zeng Jing: "Why is this causing trouble? What is Xiaozhe's current status? What if he is targeted by a bad woman outside?"

"He's a hot-blooded young man who can't afford to suffer. Don't worry..."

While saying this, Xu Guowei dialed his son's phone number again. And this time it actually got connected.

He made a silent gesture to his wife, then asked on the phone: "Where are you? Are you coming back tonight?"

Xu Zhe: "I probably won't come back."

Xu Guowei: "You still 'should'? You're not even sure?"

Xu Zhe: "Well, yes..."

Xu Guowei noticed that in addition to his son's voice, there seemed to be the sound of water rushing on the phone. It sounds like someone is taking a shower next door?
But as a father, he didn't ask further. Some things are good if you can guess them, but asking too many questions will be troublesome.

At this moment, Xu Zhe suddenly sighed.

Xu Guowei: "Why are you sighing?"

Xu Zhe: "My whole life, I have been walking on thin ice... Do you think I can make it to the other side?"

Xu Guowei's forehead was about to have blue veins: "You kid, don't look for a beating. Don't think I don't know what you are doing!"
