Chapter 3, Tang Xiao…
<hr>
Â
Tang Xiao had seen so many madmen in his life that sometimes he felt that the world may be destroyed in the next second. After all, there are so many madmen in the world. Most of the people who stand at the top of the pyramid of power are too, madmen. As long as a nerve in their brains snaps, the world will be destroyed by a shower of bullets and explosions.
Although there are a lot of madmen around him, Tang Xiao always thought he was very rational, and that his three viewsÂą were very normal, a very rare normal person.
The forefinger and thumb held the cigar and twisted it gently. There was no cracking sound heard. The fresh, hand-made full-leaf rolled cigar from Cuba was held by the man. An assistant swipes red sparks from special matches that lasted longer than ordinary matches. First, they light strips of cedar wood, and then they light the cigar in the man’s hand with the lit wood.
Tang Xiao took a slight breath from his cigar. The smoke rolled in his mouth bitterly, with a little sweetness. He tasted the cigar in his hand slowly in a regular manner and smoke came out lightly as he breathed. The white cigar smoke lingered around him as if waiting for him to savor it carefully.
This is life. Savor it slowly from every detail. There are not many gentlemen who know how to savor the little things in the world that has become too fast and full of temptations. And not long ago, the one person whom Tang Xiao thought knew how to enjoy life the most, had left this vain world.
“I’m very sorry about Master Su.” The end of the cigar gradually emerged soot, Tang Xiao looked sadly at the collaborator sitting opposite him, who had a cold face all the time.
“Don’t feel sorry, my lord is not yet dead.” The voice is slightly rigid. Chen Yuan, like his name, brought an illusion of the abyss of hell to outsiders. Using Tang Xiao’s cognitive ability, Chen Yuan was also a madman, a madman who did not fear death.
Under the eyes was a subtle shadow that could not be hidden. Chen Yuan looked a little haggard. Is it because of Master Su’s death? Tang Xiao took a sip of spirits², the bitter taste spread through his mouth. As far as he knew, a year ago, the name of Master Su had basically been erased. Why did Chen Yuan, who seemed to be a foolish madman to the world, seize power?
Inevitably, Tang Xiao remembered the former leader of the Su family.
At that time, Tang Xiao was still a chick under the patronage of Tang Dad. And Tang Xiao, who had just reached ten years old, had the privilege of following Tang Dad in an arms trade in the Middle East to meet Su Bai, a famous leader of both the white and black.
Master Su was in his early thirties. He held an antique white jade smoke gun in his left hand and took a gentle breath from time to time. Then, while slowly spitting out a mouthful of white smoke, he held a relaxed clutch on the armrest with his right hand. Tang Xiao only saw Master Su’s white scallion-like index finger slightly bend, and the little boy who was peeping behind his father felt like he was going to be hooked away.
Bang bang bang —
A series of gunshots awakened Tang Xiao, whose soul had nearly been lost. At that time, Chen Yuan, who was still a small loyal dog, already had an emotionless face and stood beside Master Su with a black machine gun, shooting madly at someone.
Then, Su Ye seemed to have scolded Chen Yuan, and then his right hand slapped onto the face of the little loyal dog. Chen Yuan flew out like a kite and hit the ground brutally. His mouth was full of blood and his face was swollen. Young Tang Xiao did not see any anger on the face of the little loyal dog. Instead, he saw the ecstasy hidden in the bottom of his eyes.
Later, the little Tang Xiao had to go to the toilet urgently. In the hallway, he saw Master Su gently stroking Chen Yuan’s swollen, round cheek with the same hand that hit him. The loyal dog kept his head down and shook his head continuously. He said it didn’t hurt, like a copy machine.
From that time on, Tang Xiao knew that the Su Family master, or Chen Yuan, the blackened loyal dog, could only be allies, and not enemies. They were all a group of lunatics.
Coming back to his senses, Tang Xiao’s cigar had gone out.
When the cigar was thrown into the ashtray casually, Tang Xiao pushed the contract file in front of Chen Yuan, “A fake shell onto the markets, in order to show sincerity, you can decide its name.”
With the pen in his white-gloved hand, Chen Yuan wrote his signature swiftly. Looking at the contract book in front of him, Chen Yuan whispered two words, “Universe”.
Tang Xiao was quietly relieved. He was really afraid that Chen Yuan would take names such as “Su Bai”, “Su Chen”, “Bai Yuan” or “Xiao Bai”.
“Then our new company will be called Universe Entertainment, and may we have a pleasant cooperation.”
Once finished, Chen Yuan left, leaving no feelings behind but a glass of untouched whiskey.
“Say, why do you think Chen Yuan likes wearing white gloves so much?” Shaking his head, Tang Xiao had just gotten up when the assistant came over with a mobile phone.
“Tang Zhong³, it’s a call from Young Master Su.”
“Young Master Su, which one?” Tang Xiao casually glanced at Ah Feng, his assistant.
“Su Yiyang, a movie star who is very popular now. He is also a first-line actor of the new company Weiyu. You had a one-night stand with him a while ago.” As Ah Feng spoke, his face stayed the same.
“Oh, what’s wrong with him?” Entertainment companies make money first by making movies, but in the end, they have to collaborate together with the Su Family, exploiting the stock market to make a big profit. As for the small stars under the company, the noble Tang Xiao seldom remembers.
“Weeping, said he was driven out by his brother.” Ah Feng muttered in his heart, he remembered Su Yiyang. An innocent rabbit on the surface, but was a little fox deep in his bones. It was actually incredible that he was being bullied by his brother now.
“Oh, that little fox seems to be from the Su family? Okay, you can take somebody to see to it. ”
…
…
Although Su Mo is a cowardly person, he also seems to be a kind person.
Chun Yan is a girl from the mountains, her skin dark and her body petite. Her big eyes are bright and resemble that of a clear spring. When she was young, her sick family took her to Town A to treat her illness. Unfortunately, they were hit by a rich second-gen who was street-racing car in the city. The family had only the helpless young Chun Yan who survived. The second-gen who hit them continued to enjoy their lives outside, yet little Chun Yan almost froze to death on the streets. However, Su Mo found her and ended up bringing the girl home. Not only did he help to cure her disease, but he also paid for little Chun Yan to go to school. Chun Yan usually helped with housework besides going to school. Although Chun Yan did not say anything, Su Bai knew what was going on at a glance. The servants in the family were like the master, but Su Mo and Chunyan, who are the real master and lady, are more like the servants.
“Mr. Su, I didn’t know you woke up yesterday because something happened in school. I didn’t have time to pick you up.” Chun Yan’s eyes turned red.
Su Bai flipped the newspapers in his hand, and on his chubby face, he habitually showed an elderly kind smile. “It’s okay, but after I woke up, my brain is not clear anymore, I can’t remember what grade you are in now.”
“Mr. Su, I just entered my freshman year. Although I couldn’t get into the class you teach, I’m very happy to get into the school you work in. Mr. Su, would you like to go to the hospital again? If there are any side effects, it would not be good.” Listening to Su Bai say that he could not remember the past, Chun Yan was worried for a while.
Su Bai shook his head and searched for a reason to stop her worries. Chun Yan called him Mr. Su because he was a university teacher. To get more information, Su Bai also lured Chun Yan to say something about school by chatting. It was almost twelve o’clock before Chun Yan went to cook.
There were only two people left in the villa now, he and Chun Yan. Mama Liu and the others had been bombed out by Su Bai, with the excuse of wanting a quiet environment from feeling dizzy and uncomfortable. There is no place for people who cannot identify the lines between master and servant. There was also that brother of Su Mo, and Su Bai thought what he said this morning was truly ridiculous.
“Brother, I know you are in a bad mood from just being discharged from the hospital. Mama Liu and the others have served the Su family for more than 20 years, after all. Where can they go after you let them leave the Su family? Brother, you can’t do this, you really shouldn’t do this. I know you are angry with me, if you are angry, you can hit me. Don’t commit suicide again, and don’t spread your anger on innocent people.” With red eyes, Su Yiyang looked like a bullied rabbit holding a grievance.
He had heard that Su Yiyang was a film actor, but why is his acting so bad? It seems only with the acquiescence of Su Yiyang that these servants had become arrogant. Su Bai almost began to criticize Su Yiyang, but stopped himself. His brain was turning fast. Now he is no longer the Master Su who was above ten thousand people, but Su Mo. Even if Su Mo died and came back to life, his character should not change dramatically overnight.
Thinking here, Su Bai simply chose to stay silent. Words will lose. His slightly drooping eyes had a deep gaze.
Su Yiyang was probably a person who did not like to act monologues. He said a lot of things by himself, but Su Mo stood there holding the staircase armrest with his head bent and motionless, without saying a word. He was clearly a fat pale man. How was there a tinge of pitifulness?
Feeling unutterable disgust, Su Yiyang did not want to see Su Bai even with a glance, the manager beside him also urged him. Su Yiyang stopped playing the little white rabbit, he turned away cold-faced, and just walked two steps before hearing Su Bai say a word in the back.
“Let them go, I have a headache. I want some quietness.” Although Su Mo was a fat man, his voice was still very pleasant. Su Bai used to smoke fiercely and his voice ended up hoarse with a dangerous sense of laziness. Once you heard it you knew he was not someone to be riddled with. Now he had this voice that was clean and warm. Su Bai liked it very much. This voice was most suitable for deceiving people.
“Then brother, you have a good rest. If you need anything, just call me.” Smiling while leaving a word, Su Yiyang turned around and took Mama Liu and the others away with a cold face. The chameleon seemed to be just that.
Su Bai kneaded his eyebrows and laid down for a while. Ever since he accidentally ate a bullet at the age of thirty-nine, his body had been much worse than before. Later on, Su Bai became lazier and lazier. Now his body is very good. He took a bath last night and saw that there was not even a scar on his white flowery skin. At 32, it is not too late to exercise more. Even if he could not recover to the peak of his previous body, to solve the layers of fat this body had was more than enough.
After a while, Chun Yan set the food on the table. Su Bai, who already felt hungry, had not yet held his chopsticks properly when he saw the bright red meat on the table, the white pork, and the dish of fried eggplant with oil covered all over. Su Ye’s face suddenly became cold.
“Teacher Su, these are your usual favorites. Why aren’t you eating?”
“I usually like to eat these?” Taking in a cold breath, his body turned stiff momentarily. Su Bai put his chopsticks away, looked up, and said to the girl sitting opposite him kindly, “Chun Yan, I’m a little dizzy and will go upstairs. Please cook me some boiled vegetables and carry them to my room. The doctor said that I had just discharged and can only eat blander foods.”
Finished with his words, Su pulled out his legs and hurried back to the room. Su Mo actually eats this kind of food! Following such a diet, Su Mo not becoming a pig would a thing against the heavens!
What’s worse was that Master Su, who never eats pork, almost drooled at the white-flowered pork dish!
