Chapter 38 The Pursuers!
Xu Jie went to seven or eight restaurants in a row but failed to eat roast duck, which made him very depressed. It was not because he was greedy, but because he promised to treat Su Yun to roast duck last night, but now he couldn't eat it, which was very embarrassing for a man.
He thought again and again, and recalled all the roast duck restaurants he knew in Beijing. Suddenly, a store flashed through his mind. Perhaps, they could sell it there.
Xu Jie drove through many turns and entered a narrow alley. At a corner, he saw a roast duck restaurant with lights on.
"You're not planning to bring me here to eat, are you?" Su Yun looked outside with suspicion.
The door is made of wood. Because it is so old, the blue paint on it has almost fallen off. Now you can see the original color of the wood, giving a feeling of returning to nature, very much like the popular log style on the market.
There is a shining light box at the foot of the wall, which also serves as the sign of this store. I don’t know if it was blown by the wind or the rain, but half of the word “Duck” was broken and it became “Roasted Bird”.
"Don't be fooled by the remote location of this place. The food here is as good as that of big stores. Many old leaders like it." Xu Jie got out of the car and walked in.
Su Yun was waiting in the car, and soon she saw Xu Jie waving at her happily. Su Yun didn't expect that there was really such a person here, so she unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car.
The store is not big, with only four tables and no decoration, but it is very clean.
"You're lucky, there are still two left. I'll take them all." Xu Jie sat down with a smile.
Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Su Yun asked quietly, "Are you sure the roast duck here is okay?"
Xu Jie knew what Su Yun was worried about, so he said, "The shop is a little small, but it hides a great talent. The owner here used to be a roast duck chef in a state-owned roast duck restaurant. He worked for decades. After retirement, he had nothing to do at home, so he knocked a door out of the house facing the street and opened a roast duck shop. It opens at 4 pm every day and only roasts 20 ducks. It closes when all are sold out. It is closed on Sundays, holidays, and winter and summer vacations. Isn't it amazing?"
Su Yun nodded, it was pretty cool.
"We came at the right time. Someone ordered roast duck but didn't pick it up. The boss was very angry, so he gave us a bargain." Xu Jie said in a low voice.
Not long after, a gray-haired old man came out from the kitchen, holding a wooden lid in his hand. On it were two plates of sliced duck meat, a plate of lotus leaf pancakes, a dish of shredded green onions, a dish of cucumber strips, and a dish of special sauce.
"Xiao Xu, eat it while it's hot."
"Thank you, Uncle Guo!"
Xu Jie stood up and helped carry the covered plate to the table.
"Are you Xiao Xu's wife?" The old man looked at Su Yun.
"Hello, Uncle Guo." Su Yun greeted politely .
"Xiao Xu is a good guy, responsible and capable of taking on responsibilities. If you marry him, you can expect to enjoy a happy life." The old man said with a smile.
Su Yun looked at Xu Jie deeply, then nodded and said with a smile: "I know."
"Haha, then I won't bother you anymore, old man. I'll go to the backyard to clean up things. If you don't have enough food, you can go to the kitchen and get it yourself. Don't be polite." The old man said and left.
"I understand, Uncle Guo." Xu Jie said.
Su Yun glanced in the direction of the kitchen, then asked Xu Jie, "You are quite familiar with the boss, do you come here often?"
She picked up a piece of duck meat and put it in her mouth. The duck skin was crispy and fragrant, and the duck meat was firm and juicy. It was actually better than most roast ducks she had eaten.
"I don't come here often, but I helped him once." Xu Jie said while eating.
Su Yun was just about to ask what help she needed when the shop door suddenly opened and two people walked in from outside.
"Sister, why are you here?" Su Lei looked at his sister in surprise. He had just seen his sister's car outside and thought that someone named Xu was using it. He didn't expect his sister to be here too.
Su Yun frowned and said unhappily, "Didn't you see your brother-in-law is here too? Hurry up and call for help."
Su Lei twisted his neck and said disdainfully: "Humph, I won't scream."
Su Yun said coldly: "Then don't call me sister!"
After that, she personally wrapped a piece of duck meat, scallion shreds, and cucumber strips in a lotus leaf pancake and handed it to Xu Jie, saying affectionately, "Husband, ah!"
Su Lei shuddered when he heard this. He didn't expect that his strict sister would be so corny when she became gentle. He got goosebumps all over his body.
"Lei Zi, is she your sister Su Yun?" the tall and thin man next to him suddenly asked Su Lei.
"Yes, Brother Hao!" Su Lei sighed and said, "I originally wanted to introduce my sister to you, but who would have thought that this guy would take over Hu, oh!"
The tall and thin man's eyes lit up and he walked towards Su Yun . "Hello, Miss Su, my name is Wu Hao, I'm your brother's friend, nice to meet you." After saying that, he stretched out his right hand.
Su Yun glanced at it indifferently and ignored it.
In her heart, none of her brother's friends are good people.
"Sister, Brother Hao's father is the deputy director of our Beijing Radio and Television. You should be polite to him." Su Lei reminded.
Su Yun rolled her eyes at her disappointing brother, "Why? Is it popular to show off your dad when introducing someone to someone now? If you do the same outside, I'll smash your mouth."
"Ms. Su, you misunderstood. Actually, I just want to make friends with you. Lei Zi just said that he wanted to introduce me to you. Now that we can meet here, is it a kind of fate?" Wu Hao said with a smile.
Xu Jie saw that something was wrong. This guy obviously wanted to seduce Su Yun. Wasn't this trying to cuckold him?
"You are fate, then what am I?" Xu Jie asked.
Wow, he's blatantly trying to seduce someone else's wife. Has the competition among males for mates reached this point?
Suddenly, he realized he had missed something .
Yes, a love rival!
He had always thought that after marrying Su Yun, all he had to do was deal with his fans, but the tall and thin man in front of him reminded him that in addition to fans, he also had to deal with Su Yun's suitors.
That's right.
There is definitely no shortage of suitors around female stars. The purpose of these people pursuing female stars is not only because of love, but also partly because of vanity. They enjoy the sense of accomplishment of pursuing the female stars, so no matter whether the female stars have boyfriends or are married or not, they will pursue and conquer them.
This is where it gets tricky.
Xu Jie suddenly felt worried.
Those who dare to pursue female stars are usually either rich or noble. What if Su Yun really falls in love with her one day and suddenly asks for a divorce?
In fact, there is nothing wrong with divorce. After all, their marriage was just a cooperation. But it would be a bit embarrassing if the whole world knew that he was cuckolded.
"You are nothing!" Su Lei seemed to remember something after he finished speaking, and suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, don't you work at Beijing TV Station? It just happens to be under the management of Brother Hao's father."
"Oh? What a coincidence?" Wu Hao looked at Xu Jie and then showed a look of understanding. "I remember now, you are the male host who appeared on the food show last night, right?"
"Yes, it's me." Xu Jie held his head high and chest out, and he would never bow his head in front of Su Yun's suitor. Not to mention that his father was the deputy director, even if his father was the Secretary-General of the United Nations, he would not be timid.
"Very good, Xu Jie, right? I believe we will meet again in the future." Wu Hao showed an intriguing smile on his face, then turned around and shouted to the kitchen: "Master Guo, Master Guo?"
"Who is it?" The old man came in again.
"It's me. I ordered two roast ducks from you on the phone before." Wu Hao said.
"No more." The old man said with a cold face.
"Ah?" Wu Hao was stunned. "I called at three in the afternoon."
"Yeah, look at what time it is now? We agreed to come and get it at 7 o'clock, but it's already 8 o'clock. Will you let an old man like me have a rest?" The old man said unhappily.
"What about them?" Wu Hao pointed at Xu Jie and Su Yun who were eating roast duck.
"These are my nephew and niece-in-law, they can stay here as long as they want!" The old man waved his hand impatiently and drove them away, "Go away, go away. If you want to eat, come back on Monday. Remember, be on time. I hate people who don't keep their promises the most." After saying that, he left again.
Wu Hao was so angry that his mouth twitched, just like Zhao Si in Country Love. If he hadn't known that the old man had a hot temper, he would have overturned the table long ago.
"It's all your fault!" Wu Hao got angry at Su Lei standing beside him, "If you hadn't insisted on taking me to the bar, would I have been late?"
"I'm sorry, brother Hao, it's all my fault." Su Lei quickly apologized. At this time, he saw two plates of duck meat on his sister's table, so he immediately walked over and said, "Sister, don't you have a plate that you haven't touched? Give it to me."
"What for?" Su Yun asked with a cold face.
"Give it to Brother Hao. Brother Hao's father loves this roast duck the most!" Su Lei said in a low voice.
Su Yun got angry when she heard this, and she reached out to grab her brother's ears, "You ungrateful little bastard, you didn't let our dad take care of your child, but let someone else's dad take care of your child. You're dreaming!"
Xu Jie calmly placed the untouched plate of duck meat in front of himself.
"you……"
Su Lei rubbed his ears and pointed at Xu Jie: "You are done, you are really done this time!"
Xu Jie laughed. Was I scared?
