Volume 1 Rebirth Return Chapter 19 Sour Grapes
When Tao Zeyi saw that dazzling person who was still shining even though he was submerged in the crowd, his mood suddenly soared, and with a wave of his hand, he quickly made his way through the crowd, running towards him.
Su Yin saw Tao Zexi's bright smile, his eyes became deep. The corners of his mouth involuntarily curved upwards slightly, revealing his good mood.
Tao Ze Xi stopped in front of Su Yun, making an effort to control his facial expression and not reveal the joy in his heart.
"How did you come to pick me up? Didn't you say you wouldn't come? I can do it myself." His bright and cheerful smile made him seem so insincere.
"En." Su Yin softly responded and then reached out to take Tao Zexi's pitiful luggage.
The two of them walked side by side out of the airport.
"Ah Yu, I met a very interesting girl at Qingmu. She..."
Su Yin suddenly interrupted him.
"Girl?" The tone was icy and chilling.
However, Tao Ze didn't notice at all and continued to nag beside Su Yin's ear.
"She's really interesting and mysterious too. I'm telling you, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to fly over so quickly to celebrate your birthday..."
"Get on the bus." Su Yin's tone could freeze people into ice.
Tao Zexi finally found Su Ren's abnormality, and when he looked at him again, his face was gloomy and frightening, so he obediently got into the jeep.
Sitting in the car, Tao Zexi kept stealing glances at the person releasing cold air beside him. He was very curious about what was wrong with Su Yin, but he wisely didn't ask.
Tao Ze Xi was recalling what had just happened in her mind, Ah Yin came to pick me up, I was happy, then I told him about the thing at Qingmu, and also mentioned Su Rui. Su Rui, yes, it was when mentioning Su Rui that Ah Yin became unhappy. Was it because of Su Rui? Could it be that Su Rui and Ah Yin had a grudge? That's not right either, how could Ah Yin possibly know Su Rui? What's going on, Ah Yin is really hard to understand! And that Su Rui girl even said Ah Yin might also like me. Hmm? Right, could it be that Ah Yin was jealous?! It must be because of the way I came back!
Tao Zexi still had doubts about Su Yin's possible liking for him, but as soon as he thought that the person he liked might also like him back, his face turned bright red. The more he sneaked glances at Su Yin, the faster his heart beat. He quickly straightened up and looked out of the car window, not daring to look at Su Yin again.
With Su Wei's sharp intuition, he had long known that Tao Zexi was stealing glances at him from the side. However, he still drove with a poker face, but wasn't emitting cold air anymore, and his mouth corners slowly curled up. But as soon as he thought of the girl Tao Zexi mentioned, his mood turned sour again. Su Wei really couldn't catch a break.
Forgive our poor facial paralysis brother, who ate so much vinegar for nothing. But if Su Rui knew, she would definitely mock him, serving him right for being a vinegar jar, even eating his own sister's vinegar, humph.
At that time, there were not as many cars as in later generations. The olive green jeep drove smoothly and quickly stopped in front of a three-story small building.
"How did we end up here? Didn't you say you'd send me home?"
"Tomorrow there will be many people coming for my birthday party, tonight is a family dinner." Dragging Tao Zexi into the building.
"What's the point of calling me to a family dinner? Hey, hey! Don't pull me! Bring my bag!"
As soon as I entered the house, I saw a simple and elegant hall. An old man with white hair and a middle-aged man were sitting on the sofa. The two men looked similar in six ways. Even at home, they still wore neat military uniforms, not a single thread out of place, their backs straight like pine trees.
"Grandfather." Su Yin said, stepping forward.
The old man turned around, his tiger eyes gleaming with spirit, and Tao Zexi hastily stepped forward.
"Grandpa Su, Grandma Su, I've come to mooch a meal. You can't chase me away, okay?"
"Aze, come sit down, I heard you went to Wushi for half a year? What did you gain from it, tell old man me about it."
"I heard it was a task given to you by your father? Looks like you've done a good job." The middle-aged man next to the old man also spoke up, with a hint of praise in his tone.
Hearing his father-in-law praise him made Tao Zexi secretly delighted. However, he still didn't show any expression on his face.
"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint your mission, Master Su. You have no idea, that Zhang Fumin from Qingmu County is like a local emperor in Qingmu County. His son is extremely arrogant, he drove and killed or injured several people in the downtown area, and just spent a few thousand yuan to settle it. Whoever dares to oppose him will be ruined by him, it's simply outrageous."
"Hmph, it's really too detestable, he really thinks he's an emperor." Su Bingzhi angrily slapped the armrest of his chair.
"The heavens are high and the emperor is far away, isn't he just a local tyrant? The tumor of Qingmu County has been cut out, but how many such Qingmu Counties are there in this vast Z Country? If they are all like Qingmu County..." Su Yin's father, Su Xun, sighed.
"Zexi is here, today you must stay and try Auntie's cooking." Xue Rui, Su Yun's mother, walked out of the kitchen.
"It seems I'm in luck today, it's been a long time since I've had Auntie's cooking, but I almost died." Tao Zexi exaggeratedly wiped away non-existent drool.
"Look at you, little glutton. Auntie is going to add two more dishes that you love to eat." With that, she turned around and went back into the kitchen.
"Ugh, am I my mom's own son or is Taozi the one? Why does she make delicious food for him but not me? I'm definitely adopted." Just then, Su Xuan came down from the second floor and leaned on the stair railing. His originally robust appearance was surprisingly ruined by a pair of peach blossom eyes, making his entire person seem lively and charming.
"You're supposed to have some posture, you look like a mess sprawled out there!" Seeing Su Xiang softly sprawled on the handrail of the stairs, her whole body looking boneless, Su Xuan couldn't help but scold.
When she heard her father speak up, Su Xuan could only obediently leave the handrail and walk down to Tao Zexi's side.
"Let me see if Taozi Ge has brought me a gift."
Su Xiang picked up the backpack on the sofa and opened it.
"Hey, be careful, Su Su! There's a gift I gave to your brother in there, don't let me break it!" Tao Ze Xi quickly stopped Su Su from rummaging through the backpack so roughly.
"What gift, let me take a look first."
"Huh, is this the box? Wow, a tank model made of bullet shells, did Taozi Ge make it himself? That's amazing!" Su Xuan opened the box and took out the tank model. However, before he could examine it carefully, it was snatched away by his older brother.
Su Xiang glared at his older brother, but he didn't dare to resist because history had told him that even if he wanted to resist, he would still lose to his own brother. In the end, he would only get himself hurt and scolded by their grandfather. The little villain in Su Xiang's heart was drawing circles in the corner, but when he saw another box, it was like discovering a new continent.
"Taizi Ge, you're really a good friend, this is for me, right? Then I won't be polite anymore." As she spoke, Su Xuan was about to open it.
"Cough, I was in a hurry and forgot to bring a gift. This is someone else's birthday gift for your brother. Next time...I'll definitely bring you a gift!" As he spoke, he snatched the box while Su Xiao wasn't paying attention.
Old Master Su on the side saw the box and stood up excitedly.
"Azhe, quickly, let me see that box!"
Although Tao Zexi didn't know what was going on, he still obediently handed the box over to Old Man Su.
"Ah Xuan, take a look quickly, is it? Is it?"
"Dad, it must be A Pu, it must be him! A Ze, who gave you this box and where is he now?! Is he doing well?!"
When Su Xuan saw the pattern on the box clearly, he became as excited as the old man, and his eyes were slightly red.
After all these years, I finally have news of Ah Bu!
