Chapter 530: 529
With the plan of going out with Yang Fei, Xu Xin carefully looked towards his grandfather, Xu Yunshan.
Seeing Yang Fei holding his grandson’s hand tightly, Xu Yunshan, although puzzled, did not ask any questions and said, "Since Mr. Yang has said so, please sit down and eat with us."
"Okay... okay then." Xu Xin took a seat next to Yang Fei.
The atmosphere during the meal was still a bit reserved, but Yang Fei was very enthusiastic towards him, even Luo Yong chatted with him smilingly a few times, so Xu Yunshan, Xu Liangyou, and Xu Xiao did not feel it appropriate to impose seniority on Xu Xin.
After eating a little, Yang Fei put down his chopsticks.
Xu Yunshan asked, "Does it not suit your taste?"
Yang Fei shook his head, "No, I plan to go downtown with Xu Xin later and save some room for Japan’s specialty snacks."
Upon hearing this, Xu Yunshan and the others looked at him in surprise.
Yang Fei smiled and said, "There’s nothing much to do for now, you elders might not find staying here boring, but I can’t stay put. Young people always need to seek some fun, right?"
Xu Yunshan and others gave a bitter smile and shook their heads.
They of course did not believe Yang Fei’s words, but they had to admit a reality, that Yang Fei was right; he was very young, only twenty-four years old.
Xu Yunshan did not know what Yang Fei was really up to, but seeing that he insisted on going out with Xu Xin, he said to Xu Xin, "Xu Xin, you must take good care of Young Master Yang, meet any needs he might have, understand?"
Xu Xin, secretly thrilled, could now leave the manor legitimately, and this would be another delightful evening.
Seeing his grandfather instructing him, he quickly nodded and said, "Grandfather, rest assured, I will definitely make Young Master Yang feel at home."
Xu Yunshan nodded and said to Yang Fei, "Mr. Yang, although this child is from the Xu family, he has been studying abroad all year round and does not know much about family affairs. If he accidentally offends you, please be forgiving."
Yang Fei waved his hand and said, "Mr. Xu, you are too kind, don’t worry, I know what I’m doing."
After that, the two left the manor.
Xu Xiao looked at their retreating figures and frowned, saying, "Brother, what do you think Young Master Yang and Xu Xin are going out to do, just to have fun?"
Xu Yunshan frowned and shook his head without a word.
Xu Liangyou chuckled and said, "After all, they are young. Perhaps while in the country, due to Miss Qin’s status, he didn’t dare to be reckless, but now that he’s overseas, he might be letting himself go, perhaps."
Luo Yong coughed and shook his head, "Though I don’t know much about him, I think he isn’t such a superficial person; there must be another purpose. After all, a man who could marry Qin Yanyang wouldn’t have a low standard, how could ordinary mediocrity capture his interest?"
Xu Yunshan silently nodded and said, "You’re right, Young Master Yang, though young, is certainly not an irresponsible person; he must be here to do something significant."
Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao smiled faintly, thinking what big thing could he possibly do by going out with Xu Xin, who is still a student?
Definitely supporting women in Japan, improving their quality of life.
After all, however great Qin Yanyang may be, there comes a time when a man who has had her grows tired of her.
A home flower may be fragrant, but wild flowers have their unique aroma too.
They are all men and were all young once; some things are tacitly understood.
Sitting in the passenger seat of Xu Xin’s Mercedes sports car, Yang Fei sneezed several times, not because he thought a few old men were talking about him behind his back, but because he felt that either Tong Yunshu or Qin Yanyang was missing him.
Xu Xin seemed very excited, and while driving, he said, "Young Master Yang, could I trouble you with something?"
Yang Fei laughed and said, "Don’t call me ’Young Master Yang’ all the time, it feels too formal and awkward. When your grandparents aren’t around, just call me Brother Yang, it’s friendlier that way."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xin was overjoyed, "Really?"
Yang Fei nodded.
Xu Xin, after all, was only a twenty-one-year-old youth. He didn’t like the over-complicated rituals of his family, and he too found the formality of being called "Young Master Yang" awkward. So he said, "Alright, I’ll just call you Brother Yang."
Yang Fei agreed, then casually asked, "You mentioned that you needed my help with something earlier. What is it?"
Xu Xin quickly said, "It’s like this, Brother Yang. A friend of mine called me earlier. He said there’s a party tonight organized by a legendary beauty from our school. I want to go and have some fun. If you don’t have other plans, could you come with me?"
Yang Fei laughed and replied, "Sure, it’s my first time in Japan, and I don’t know my way around. I don’t have anywhere else to go, so I might as well join you for some fun."
Xu Xin said joyfully, "Really? You don’t have other matters to take care of?"
"No, as I said, hanging out with those old people is too boring. I just wanted to go out and find some fun with young people like you," Yang Fei said.
"Hehe, I think so too. If you hadn’t suggested going out, I wouldn’t have known how to speak to Grandpa about it. He would definitely not let me out."
The two of them chatted and soon entered the city center, driving into a bustling street.
"This is the busiest street in Osaka, which has the most upscale and luxurious entertainment venues," Xu Xin explained to Yang Fei.
Yang Fei nodded with a smile, his face feigning excitement, though he actually felt indifferent to a place many yearn for.
"Senior Chiba’s full name is Chiba Susumu, the little princess of the Chiba Group. You know about the Chiba Group, right Brother Yang?"
Yang Fei nodded and said, "I’ve heard a bit about it."
Xu Xin laughed and said, "Yeah, the Chiba Group is really famous worldwide. It covers industries like manufacturing, chemicals, electronic technology, and intelligent chips. Their products are used all around the world; it’s hard for ordinary people not to use something made by the Chiba Group."
Yang Fei smiled faintly; he knew much more about the Chiba Group than that.
If that weren’t the case, he probably wouldn’t have come to this young people’s gathering with Xu Xin.
Of course, considering the purpose of his visit, Yang Fei couldn’t help feeling a bit self-deprecating.
The saying about desperate times calling for desperate measures must refer to his current situation.
But then again, he was only idling away at the Xu Family Farm, so coming out for a stroll wasn’t a bad idea.
"Yamamoto Sosuke’s background is also remarkable. The Yamamoto family holds strong power in Japan and is considered an aristocratic family," Xu Xin mentioned, his expression complex as he glanced at Yang Fei, and said, "Um, Brother Yang, Senior Chiba is courteous and probably won’t say anything, but Yamamoto Sosuke can be a bit arrogant. If he says something offensive, I hope for my sake as his classmate that you won’t take it personally."
Yang Fei gave him a look.
Xu Xin felt a chill, recalling the first time he saw Yang Fei.
Rain falling without touching his body.
What profound Inner True Qi he must have to achieve that.
Besides, Inner True Qi isn’t easy to cultivate, nor is it meant to be used so casually.
"Are you very afraid of Yamamoto Sosuke?" Yang Fei asked.
Xu Xin was taken aback, then gave an awkward smile, "I wouldn’t say I’m afraid of him, but as someone from a foreign land, and he is a true aristocrat of Japan, he has taken great care of me over the past few years, so..."
Yang Fei looked at him and said coolly, "A mere Japanese clan trying to act like an aristocratic family, what aristocracy does Japan have?"
Xu Xin felt a chill.
All the way here, they had been talking and laughing congenially. He thought Yang Fei, being about the same age, was approachable and easy to get along with. Now, feeling the unique aura emanating from Yang Fei and hearing his calm yet profoundly confident words, Xu Xin suddenly realized that this young man, who seemed to be his peer, was actually a significant figure whom even the three grandfathers of his family treated with utmost respect.
"Hahaha, relax, I was just kidding. Don’t worry, I’ll just sit with you for a bit up there, I won’t upset your friend," he said.
Feeling Xu Xin’s emotional shift, Yang Fei laughed heartily, patted his shoulder, looped an arm around his neck, and strode towards the clubhouse.
