C22 Purple Bamboo Pavilion
Since Xiao Xiao had sneaked out of the school, her driver naturally did not accompany her. Therefore, the two of them took a taxi back to Chen Tianming's house as soon as they left the house.
At home, Chen Tianming had given Xiao Xiao all her gifts. This little girl suddenly beamed with joy, and her smile was so beautiful that it made Chen Tianming stunned.
It was only after a while that Chen Tianming regained his senses. He could not take it anymore and let out a huge sigh.
He did not stay at home for long. Chen Tianming took Xiao Xiao out. He knew Xiao Xiao had not eaten yet.
Xiao Xiao suggested going to the Purple Bamboo House for dinner. She said that the chrysanthemums and fish in this restaurant were very delicious. The two of them took a taxi there. When they just arrived at the Purple Bamboo House, Chen Tianming's evaluation of this restaurant was that it was a "royal" restaurant. There were ten young ladies standing at the entrance of the restaurant. All of them had beautiful looks and were dressed beautifully.
Chen Tianming looked at the imposing manner of this restaurant and knew that it would definitely be expensive to eat here. He was curious why Xiao Xiao would bring him to such a luxurious restaurant even though he knew his family's situation. Even though Chen Tianming usually took a detour to a restaurant like this. However, Chen Tianming could be considered a millionaire now. However, this money was left to him by his grandmother. He didn't want to spend this money carelessly.
Chen Tianming looked at Xiao Xiao and frowned. "Xiao Xiao, let's go to another restaurant. I can't eat in such a splendid restaurant."
Xiao Xiao looked at Chen Tianming and said, "Silly girl. I think you must be reluctant to spend money."
Chen Tianming felt a little awkward when Xiao Xiao exposed him.
Xiao Xiao looked at Chen Tianming's embarrassed expression and giggled. "Silly, you don't need to pay for this meal. You owe me your food first. You can treat me next time." After saying that, she pulled Chen Tianming inside.
How could Chen Tianming let Xiao Xiao pay for his meal in such a shameful manner? At most, he would just feel the pain for once.
After making up his mind, Chen Tianming returned to his previous calm. He was no longer as awkward as before.
When the two of them walked in, the welcoming ladies at the door bowed together and said, "Welcome." Chen Tianming, who had just calmed down, was shocked again.
Xiao Xiao looked at Chen Tianming's expression as if he was a country bumpkin. She laughed and said, "Tianming, this shop is opened by an uncle of mine. You can say that you are my classmate later." Xiao Xiao told him that she did not want her family to have any thoughts about it.
"Okay. We are classmates after all, Xiao Xiao. Hurry up. Didn't you starve to death? " Chen Tianming joked.
"Hmph!" Xiao Xiao glared at Chen Tianming.
A service lady led the two of them to a private room upstairs. It was a big round table with a red and gorgeous table cloth. The decoration of the entire private room was grand and magnificent.
Chen Tianming and Xiao Xiao only took up the tip of the iceberg of the table.
Xiao Xiao looked at the service lady with a smile and said, "Miss, please call your manager over."
The service lady was stunned and then said fearfully, "Miss, may I ask what I have done to make you unhappy?"
Xiao Xiao smiled and waved her hand and said, "No, don't think about it. I know your manager. You can just let him come over."
"Yes, please wait for a moment." The service lady said and left.
Not long after, the service lady came in with a middle-aged man. When the middle-aged man saw Xiao Xiao, his eyes immediately lit up. He hurriedly ran to Xiao Xiao and said with a smile, "I didn't expect that Miss Xiao would come. I really didn't welcome you from afar."
Xiao Xiao did not hear the middle-aged man's flattering words and directly asked, "Mr Zhang, is my uncle here?"
Mr Zhang did not care about Xiao Xiao's attitude and still smiled very kindly. "Director Xiao has something to do today, so he did not come over. Usually,director Xiao would not come if there was nothing going on in the restaurant. Miss Xiao, if you have anything to say, just tell me. Director Xiao isn't here. I can talk here too. If there's anything... I can directly... "
Xiao Xiao was lazy to talk to Mr Zhang. She waved her hand to interrupt him and said, "That's enough. It's fine if uncle is not here. Ask the kitchen to prepare the best signature dishes for me. I brought my classmates here for dinner today. Remember, you must have my favorite chrysanthemum fish. "
Mr Zhang quickly said, "Yes, yes. Miss Xiao, don't worry. I'll arrange it right away." After saying that, he walked out and closed the door.
"I really didn't know that your family was so powerful." Chen Tianming said jokingly.
"Don't pretend to be good at the side. Be careful that I will teach you a lesson." Xiao Xiao said to scare Chen Tianming.
Chen Tianming was not afraid of Xiao Xiao's threats. He had just seen how Mr Zhang treated Xiao Xiao. He was surprised by Xiao Xiao's identity. He knew Xiao Xiao's family background was very good, but he also did not expect Xiao Xiao's family background to be so big. Xiao Xiao's uncle could open such a big and luxurious restaurant. Xiao Xiao's father's business would not be any worse.
Chen Tianming puckered his lips and did not say anything.
Xiao Xiao saw that Chen Tianming did not speak and thought that Chen Tianming was angry, so she did not joke around anymore. "Tianming,i think you have changed a lot after this trip to Hainan. You are no longer as cold as before."
"Will you? It probably has something to do with my sworn grandfather." Chen Tianming didn't care about his own change. He felt that it was good for him to be like this.
Xiao Xiao was puzzled. "Gan grandfather? Didn't you say that after your grandmother passed away, you didn't have a single family member? Why did another Gan grandpa appear? You didn't even tell me about it."
"Yeah. I just got to know him on this trip to Hainan. He's a good person and doesn't have any children. That's why I took him as my gan-grandpa. " Chen Tianming's heart heated up when he thought of Xu Zuyuan.
"I see. When you have time, you must bring me to meet your gan-grandpa." Xiao Xiao said.
"Okay. My godgrandfather is a good person and is very approachable. You will also like him very much in a while." Chen Tianming was very happy when he heard Xiao Xiao say she wanted to see Xu Zuyuan.
"I am just afraid that he does not like me." Xiao Xiao was worried.
"That's impossible. Gan Grandpa loves me very much. He will definitely like what I like as well." Chen Tianming could not hold back his words. Only after he said those words did he realize how eye-catching the word "like" was in his words. For a moment, his face felt a little hot.
Xiao Xiao naturally heard Chen Tianming's words clearly, and her face was so red that it seemed like water would drip out of it.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat awkward.
