Chapter 62 : parting kiss
There was a private car, a private garden, and a private swimming pool. The villa had an area of 1,200 square meters and was fully lit. The interior was designed with three floors and was luxuriously decorated. What attracted Xu Qing the most was a spacious basement and two storage rooms. It was the most suitable place to store jade stones and stone melting machines in the future.
"How is it? Are you satisfied? Do you want me to give you a whole set of furniture and a few big beds?" Tang Guobin patted Xu Qing's shoulder and smiled.
Xu Qing kept nodding, indicating that he was 12 percent satisfied with this new house. Tang Guobin mistakenly thought that this kid wanted him to give furniture and electrical appliances, so he took out a cheque and handed it to Gao Mingyang.
"Manager Gao, try to use the best stuff here. If you don't have enough money, call me."
Gao Mingyang took a look at the check and was shocked by the amount on it. It was a total of 15 million. Forget furniture and appliances, it would not be a problem to raise a few wolf dogs!
"Don't worry, Young Master Tang. I'll make sure Mr. Xu is satisfied." Gao Mingyang promised, but he couldn't help but size Xu Qing up a few more times. He secretly guessed Xu Qing's identity. Later, he had to specially instruct the security guards and the staff of the community that the owner of this villa had to take special care of him.
After seeing the house, Xu Qing got four sets of keys and five passes. There was also a set of furniture to use. Gao Mingyang promised that he would only need to bring some personal clothes to move in three days later. The real estate certificate would only be issued in a week. This efficiency was already not slow.
At this moment, Xu Qing's phone rang. When she picked it up, she heard Qin Bing's voice. She knew that he was coming back today, so she specially prepared food and asked him when he would arrive in Jiang City.
Xu Qing could only perfunctorily say a few words. He only said that it would be difficult to get home for dinner today, so she didn't have to wait. After that, she hung up the phone in a hurry and drove back to Heaven and Earth with Tang Guobin.
Halfway up the road, Xu Qing also found a specialty store to buy two sets of shirts and pants. When the two of them walked into the sauna center, it was already 3:30 p.m. Liu Youfu and his wife were still bathing, and Lu Yinxue was sitting in the lounge in a daze.
An elegant young woman walked over slowly. She stopped beside Lu Yinxue and whispered," Miss Lu, Young Master Xu invites you over."
This young woman was Hua Lina, the manager of the sauna center. The rest room here was divided into two parts: the male guest department and the female guest department. The male guest department allowed female technicians to enter, while the female guest department was the place where men stopped. The only thing that called people was to let Hua Jie do it.
Lu Yinxue nodded and went to the changing room to change into her own clothes. She twisted a plastic bag and followed Sister Hua into a luxurious private room. Xu Qing was holding the ivory statue in his hand and examining it carefully, as if he wanted to see through it.
"Young Master Xu, Miss Lu is here." Sister Hua politely greeted her. Xu Qing put down the statue in his hand and returned to his senses. He smiled and thanked her. He picked up the large plastic bag beside him and walked directly to Lu Yinxue.
Xu Qing stuffed the ivory eagle into his clothes bag and said with a smile," Let's go. Let's go find your grandfather and buy you a mobile phone."
Lu Yinxue's eyes flashed with excitement. She handed the plastic bag in her hand to Xu Qing and naturally put her hand into Xu Qing's arm. The two of them walked out of the sauna center and hailed a taxi.
"Big brother, how much is it to rent your car today?" Xu Qing knew that Longquan Mountain was located in the northern suburbs of Jiang City. It would take at least two hours to travel on the road, plus it would take another two hours to get back. He still had to buy a mobile phone halfway, so he might as well charter a car.
The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties. When he heard that someone was chartering a car, he immediately became interested. He turned around and said," I'll leave until nine o'clock at night. How long do you need to charter a car?"
Xu Qing thought for a moment and said,"At most, it will be nine o'clock!"
The driver smiled and said,"It's four o'clock now. There are still five hours left. Can I count you four hundred?"
Xu Qing nodded." Alright. Let's find a shop to buy a mobile phone first. Then we'll go to Longquan Mountain."
The driver replied cheerfully and started the car. This kind of chartered car was not something that could be encountered every day. Even if it took a long time, it did not matter.
The car quickly stopped in front of a mobile phone shopping mall. Xu Qing gave the driver a hundred dollars before getting out of the car and asked him to wait in the car. Then, she walked into the mall with Lu Yinxue.
Lu Yinxue finally chose a Nokia C7, which only cost 2,000 yuan. When Xu Qing asked why she didn't buy a phone with a beautiful appearance, her answer was very simple. This brand of mobile phone could withstand falling…
Longquan Mountain Sanatorium was located at the foot of Longquan Mountain in the northern suburbs of Jiang City. It occupied an area of 1,000 hectares and was built along the mountain. Not only was the environment quiet, but the strangest thing was that there was an ancient spring here that had not dried for thousands of years. The water was sweet and refreshing. Drinking it all year round could make people feel refreshed and alert. It had the effect of strengthening their body.
Every time after heavy rain, the white fog at the mouth of the spring lingers and circulates endlessly, and it can actually derive various forms. It is said that someone once saw the fog turn into a dragon shape dancing, and the name Longquan came from it.
Throughout the dynasties, Longquan Mountain had palaces built by emperors, but they were destroyed in the long river of history. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it became the resting place for many senior national leaders who retired to the second line. The security force was no less than that of major military important places.
The taxi stopped 200 meters away from the gate of Longquan Sanatorium. Xu Qing gave the driver another 100 yuan before he and Lu Yinxue twisted the bag and got out of the taxi.
Walking to the front door of the sanatorium, two armed police soldiers holding steel guns stood upright on both sides of the door. One of the baby-faced soldiers saw Lu Yinxue and his eyes lit up.
"Miss Xue 'er, aren't you on vacation?"
Lu Yinxue saw the baby-faced warrior relieved. She remembered the grievances she had suffered after returning home, and her eyes turned red. When she was studying at Jiang City University, she was a frequent visitor to Longquan Mountain Sanatorium. She basically stayed there for two days every week. Most of the guards at the door were familiar with her, and this baby-faced soldier named Zhou Junliang was one of them.
" Brother Liangzi, I'm here to look for Grandpa. I left my ID cards at home. Can you help me make a call?"
According to the regulations, all visitors had to check their registration before entering the sanatorium. It was another matter if someone came to pick them up. Although Lu Yinxue was a frequent visitor here, she still had to follow the basic procedures. Even if the guards knew her identity, they could not let her in without authorization. Providing convenience was not considered a violation of discipline.
The baby-faced warrior smiled and said," Alright, come with me to the sentry box to make a phone call."
Seeing the two of them walk into the sentry box, Xu Qing could only stand at the door obediently and wait. For some reason, he felt a little sour when he saw the warmth between Lu Yinxue and the baby-faced warrior.
Ten minutes later, Lu Yinxue and the baby-faced warrior walked out of the guard booth. She walked to Xu Qing with a sweet smile on her face.
" Qingzi, Grandpa will send someone to pick me up immediately, but…" Lu Yinxue hesitated, her eyes filled with regret.
Xu Qing smiled indifferently." Is it inconvenient for an outsider like me to enter?"
Lu Yinxue bit her lips and shook her head." You're not an outsider. I'll definitely come find you when this matter is over. Don't be angry, okay?"
Xu Qing glanced at Lu Yinxue, who was pleading with him." I'm not angry. I hope that after this mess, we can really be together. I like you. I really like you."
Then he took out a violet pendant from his bag and hung it around Lu Yinxue's neck. He said softly,"Take it with you!" Don't forget me!"
Lu Yinxue's eyes turned red. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Xu Qing's waist. She raised her head and kissed him on the lips. A faint salty taste lingered between their lips. After a long time, it was interrupted by a short car horn.
