272: Chapter 272: The Tattoo on Su Xuan’s Wrist 272: Chapter 272: The Tattoo on Su Xuan’s Wrist Just as they shook hands, a tattoo on Su Xuan’s wrist was inadvertently exposed, catching He i’s brief glance.
Internally cursing his own carelessness, Su Xuan quickly retracted his hand.
After offering He i a slight smile, he sat down on the sofa and covered up the tattoo on his hand.
The tattoo was small, normally hidden by a watch, but now the sharp-eyed He i had caught a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg.
He i looked puzzled and scrutinized Su Xuan again.
“Big sister, aren’t you going to help?” He Xiaowen ca out from the kitchen and, seeing He i in the living room, spoke sowhat angrily.
“Coming!”
He i left the living room, but her mind was still pondering what exactly the tattoo on Su Xuan’s wrist could be.
He i always had the feeling that she had seen Su Xuan’s tattoo sowhere before.
She slapped her head; the tattoo on Su Xuan’s wrist was distinctly visible.
If she had seen it clearly, with her mory, she would definitely be able to recall the origin of the tattoo.
He i was a detective, forrly a Special Soldier, and they rembered tattoos very clearly because most of the people they dealt with were big thugs or those who crossed international borders to engage in illegal criminal activities.
Soon, it was ti for dinner.
“President Su, tonight we won’t stop until we’re drunk.
Thank you for saving my daughter!” He Yaohui was very polite.
“Uncle He, you don’t have to keep calling ‘President Su.’ You’re older than and a peer of my father’s.
Just call Su.
As for saving your daughter, it’s only right to fight for justice and act against villains when encountered!” Su Xuan responded.
“Good, a young man should have the spirit of a hero!” He Yaohui clapped Su Xuan on the shoulder.
Su Xuan had already brought out a fine bottle of liquor he had purchased specifically for the occasion.
“Co, Uncle, this is a fine drink I specifically bought.
Let’s have a toast!”
Su Xuan quickly filled He Yaohui’s cup, speaking very politely.
“Great, I didn’t know you also enjoyed drinking.
Tonight you must keep company till we’re thoroughly drunk.
In this house, I’m the only old man who drinks.
Drinking alone, that kind of depression, is not sothing ordinary people understand!” He Yaohui seed to have found a kindred spirit in Su Xuan, and was chatting non-stop.
And Su Xuan was very generous, drinking briskly.
He Xiaowen’s mother watched the two n drinking and didn’t stop them, just smiled.
While He Xiaowen kept busily adding food to Su Xuan’s bowl, embarrassing him with the heap of food that resembled a little mountain, she still kept adding more.
Her mind was simple, and her innocent smile was carefree, filled with a childlike charm.
anwhile, He i sat very quietly at the table, as quiet as a frosty beauty, eating on her own while her gaze shifted from ti to ti to Su Xuan’s tattooed, watch-wearing left hand.
Although Su Xuan was accompanying He Yaohui in drinking, he was also keenly observing these details.
Su Xuan admired He i’s perceptiveness.
Before long, they had already finished a bottle.
Su Xuan’s face was slightly flushed, while He Yaohui seed unchanged, but it appeared he could still drink much more.
“How about it, Su?
How’s your tolerance for alcohol?” He Yaohui chuckled.
“Uncle He, how can that be possible?
I can hold up to eighteen bowls without faltering!” Su Xuan replied.
His tolerance was exceptionally good; just playing a bit now.
In nightclubs, Su Xuan could blow through several cases of beer alone.
The tattoo on Su Xuan’s wrist was already tightly covered by his watch, not a glimpse was exposed.
After observing for a long ti, He i still couldn’t figure anything out and had to let it go.
Yet, the mystery of Su Xuan, his identity, and her glimpse of that blurry tattoo continued to intrigue her.
Could Su Xuan really be just the president of Fenghua Group?
He i was a woman of intense curiosity.
He i was filled with curiosity about the tattoo on Su Xuan’s wrist.
Coming from a special police background, she was particularly keen about many things.
During the al, Su Xuan noticed He i’s curiosity about the tattoo on his wrist.
Naturally, he imdiately tightened his watch, using it perfectly to conceal the tattoo on his wrist.
Before they knew it, the dinner table was left with only Su Xuan and He Yaohui competing in drinking, while He Xiaowen and He i had finished eating first and left the table to chat in the living room.
anwhile, He Xiaowen’s mother, seeing the two enjoying their drinking, went back to the kitchen to prepare so more snacks for them.
In the living room, He i earnestly inquired about so details concerning Su Xuan’s rescue of He Xiaowen, which made He Xiaowen almost lose her temper in embarrassnt.
“Sis, I’ve told you so many tis, he’s really amazing.
Those two burly thugs on the bus looked vicious and fearless, but they were not scared at all.
After we got off, those two thugs followed us and wanted to attack us, but Su Xuan knocked them out in no ti!”
“Afterward, dad ca with the police.
I even threatened the thugs saying my dad was a cop, and then he just disappeared out of nowhere, not even giving a chance to say thank you!”
“I’ve already told you all the details, how can you still not believe !” He Xiaowen pouted.
A slightly resentful gaze towards her sister He i.
“Okay, Wen, I won’t ask anymore, sis is just worried about the kind of people you hang out with.
I always feel that this Su Xuan is not a good person!” He i said.
Hearing He i say this about her lifesaver made He Xiaowen a bit upset.
“Sis, how can you say that about my lifesaver?
There were so many people on the bus, and not one was brave enough to stand up and help , except for Su Xuan who stepped forward.
Moreover, he acted heroically without asking for anything in return and even left secretly.
Most importantly, he is the president of Fenghua Group, how could he have designs on !”
He Xiaowen felt wronged, glanced at her sister, then left the living room and went back to her room.
“Don’t say such things about my lifesaver!”
Watching her sister leave the living room, He i shook her head and didn’t continue to say anything about Su Xuan.
“Sis, I’m just looking out for you!” He i murmured, then also left the living room and returned to her own room.
Su Xuan and He Yaohui were like old friends who hadn’t seen each other for years, drinking a lot of alcohol.
In the end, He Yaohui simply surrendered.
“Su, I didn’t expect your tolerance to be so good.
Your Uncle He surrenders, I can’t drink you under the table!” He Yaohui said with a flushed face and a bit tipsy.
“No, no, no, Uncle He let win.
Otherwise, how could I possibly be a match for Uncle He!” Su Xuan was also a bit tipsy, but of course, his tipsiness didn’t cloud his mind, and he didn’t forget to be modest at this mont.
“You kid, I really like this about you!”
He Yaohui chuckled, very satisfied with Su Xuan.
“Uncle He, it’s been a bother today, and it’s getting late.
I should head back now.
I’ll visit another day!” Su Xuan slowly stood up from the chair, his head a bit fuzzy, so he appeared to sway a little, as if he might collapse at any mont.
He Yaohui squinted his eyes, leaning back on the chair, watching Su Xuan’s unsteady figure and burst into laughter.
“Su, it looks like you’re quite drunk, stumbling around.
I think it’s better to rest a while longer, then go back.
Sober up, just rest at Uncle He’s house for a while!” He Yaohui suggested.
“No, Uncle He, coming to your house for dinner has already been quite a bother.
Staying longer wouldn’t be proper!” Su Xuan declined.
“Don’t argue, just do as your uncle says.
Spending the night drinking with , I feel very pleased.
At your age, to have such tolerance, you must be soone who enjoys his drink.
I am delighted to have found soone who shares the sa interest, it’s really satisfying!”
At this mont, He Yaohui had none of his usual stern deanor, instead, he appeared very amiable and approachable.
Su Xuan didn’t refuse.
He had indeed drunk quite a bit today, and there was nothing pressing at the mont; getting sober was indeed necessary.
“Then I’ll trouble Uncle He!”
“Why the courtesy, co on, have a couple more drinks with your uncle!”
…
The two continued to drink, He Xiaowen’s mother watched her husband and a young man chatting and laughing while drinking, and shook her head, her face showing a fond smile without interfering too much.
“There isn’t a guest room at ho, and now Su needs to rest, how can this be good!” Mrs.
He muttered, then walked straight into her eldest daughter He i’s room.
Inside He i’s room, dressed in a white casual outfit with a low-cut airy top, she was working in front of the computer.
Seeing her mother enter, she politely asked.
“Mom, it’s afternoon already, why aren’t you taking a nap!”
“i, your dad and the others are still drinking, and today your dad said Su will stay over to rest at our house, and we don’t have another room, so…”
Mrs.
He hadn’t finished speaking, but He i already understood her mother’s intention.
“Mom, it’s impossible for to let him sleep in my room.
He is my sister’s lifesaver; let him sleep in my sister’s room!” He i refused outright.
“i, your sister has classes this afternoon, she’s already napping, and you know she’s preparing for the college entrance exam, her sleep quality can’t be compromised!” Mrs.
He continued to earnestly persuade.
He i felt like crying without tears, thinking about drinking so much during the day and now having to give up soone’s bed…
