Chapter 285 Did he miss something?
Su Xiaorong was picking up some Typhoon Shelter-style spare ribs when Gao Nan tugged at her sleeve. She put the ribs in her bowl and turned to look at him.
Gao Nan winked at her, then held the phone up to her.
She took it and read it. It was an entertainment news article with a screenshot reposted from Bosch Group's official Weibo account. The screenshot showed that Yan Zhixu was the owner of the "Iceberg Summit" diamond necklace, and even included photos of him participating in business activities abroad.
The person in the photo is sitting upright with their legs crossed, wearing a pure black haute couture suit, a dark tie with a pure gold tie clip, and a rare sapphire cufflink on the well-tailored cuff, which emits a faint luster.
With handsome features and a cold expression, he was the man sitting opposite them.
She was also shocked, her eyes widening, and she instinctively looked up at the opposite side.
Vivi's boyfriend is actually this big shot!
Yan Zhixu was considerately serving his girlfriend soup, his movements slow, deliberate, elegant, and meticulous. He scooped out some of the various ingredients from the mushroom soup, then carefully placed it in front of her, whispering, "Be careful, it's hot."
Liang Liangwei glanced at them and muttered, "I don't like tea tree mushrooms, but the others are fine."
Yan Zhixu: "Then give it to me."
Liang Liangwei then picked out two tea tree mushrooms and put them in his bowl before starting to eat the other mushrooms.
Yan Zhixu ate the tea tree mushroom without hesitation.
The two women opposite were stunned: "..."
I never expected this big shot to be so... down-to-earth in his relationship with his girlfriend.
Towards the end of the meal, the two went to the restroom. When they returned, they didn't see Yan Zhixu. Liang Liangwei was sitting in a chair, texting someone on her phone.
They finally got a chance to be alone with her.
Su Xiaorong looked around: "Where's your boyfriend?"
Liang Liangwei put down her phone and said, "I'm going to have a smoke and pay the bill."
Su Xiaorong: "Huh? Didn't I say I was treating?"
Liang Liangwei gave her a smirk: "It's the first time we've eaten together, how could he let a lady pay? You're overthinking it."
Su Xiaorong wanted to retort, but considering the other person's status as a big shot, she just twitched her lips and remained silent.
Gao Nan asked the question she had always wanted to ask but hadn't dared to because the man was present: "You've never mentioned that your boyfriend is the CEO of the American Bosch Group."
Liang Liangwei took a couple of sips of her iced lemon tea, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "You guys knew?"
Gao Nan showed her the screenshot on her phone: "I felt the name sounded familiar, like I'd seen it on some website recently, so I searched online, and sure enough, it's this 'Iceberg Peak' big shot."
Liang Liangwei glanced at it, smiled, and said, "Look, you were able to find his information so easily. I don't need to say anything more, lest you say I'm showing off."
Su Xiaorong: "Is that why he wore a mask to the company today?"
Liang Liangwei nodded. The news was so sensational at the time, many people must have seen his photo. If he had spent the whole afternoon showing his face in the company, he would have been recognized very quickly.
When he left, he took off his mask, but those people were only surprised by their relationship and stunned to suddenly see the handsome man's face; they didn't even have time to realize his identity.
Su Xiaorong: "You're really something, keeping it a secret for so long. When you said his surname was Yan, I really thought he had some connection with Yan Bei'an, or that he was Yan Bei'an himself."
Liang Liangwei's heart stirred, but she smiled without saying a word.
Gao Nan asked, puzzled, "What does this have to do with Yan Bei'an?"
Su Xiaorong: "They both have the surname Yan, so the first person I thought of was Yan Beian. Hey, isn't he the one who said he would take you home that night at the club?"
Liang Liangwei raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear: "Yeah, I haven't changed boyfriends."
Gao Nan wasn't there that night, and asked blankly, "What club, that person?"
Su Xiaorong explained briefly, saying, "I just didn't expect him to be the CEO of Bosch. It's unbelievable! He's an international capitalist and investor. Rumor has it that he's coming back to China to invest soon. Is that true?"
Liang Liangwei frowned and said, "I don't know anything about his work, and I haven't asked. I only know that his return is related to promoting Bosch wines."
Gao Nan: "Yes, Bosch red wine, the one that Le Pei'er endorsed but then terminated her contract with. I bought it, and it tastes great."
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "I'll ask him for more another day to give to you."
Gao Nan exclaimed excitedly, "That's great! Becoming best friends with the Bosch president's wife means I can drink Bosch wine for free from now on!"
Su Xiaorong chuckled.
Liang Liangwei blushed and retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? He and I are just boyfriend and girlfriend."
Su Xiaorong said with a grin, "Isn't this a blessing for you? I hope you two will be together for a long, long time!"
Gao Nan glanced around to make sure the man hadn't returned yet, but still lowered her voice and said, "Um, is he really the owner of 'Peak of the Iceberg'?"
Liang Liangwei nodded: "Yes, didn't he say on Weibo that the diamond necklace is in his home in the United States?"
Gao Nan exclaimed, "Why would a grown man like him, who never had a wife or girlfriend, buy that diamond necklace?"
Liang Liangwei: "Keep it as a collectible. Who knows? It's such a famous diamond necklace. Just having it is enough to make you happy."
Su Xiaorong crossed her hands and rested them on her chin, saying meaningfully, "Maybe I'll keep it as a keepsake, waiting to prepare it as an engagement or wedding gift for the future mistress of the Yan family."
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "It shouldn't be. Yan Bei'an said that he probably bought 'The Peak of the Iceberg' as a birthday gift for an elder of his."
Su Xiaorong pondered: "Giving such legendary jewelry as a gift to an elder... is not unreasonable."
Gao Nan, however, noticed another key point in her words: "Wait, Yan Bei'an said? How does Yan Bei'an know him so well? He even knows he's going to give it to an elder? Between them..."
Liang Liangwei didn't hide anything and directly gave the answer: "Xiaorong's suspicion is correct. They all have the surname Yan, and he is Yan Bei'an's uncle."
The two people opposite them froze for a moment, then exclaimed in unison, "What? Yan Bei'an's uncle? His own brother?"
Liang Liangwei: "Uncle, it's just that we're not that far apart in age because of certain reasons."
Su Xiaorong couldn't help but ask, "Was it Yan Bei'an who introduced you two?"
Liang Liangwei was amused, but upon closer reflection, she realized that it was indeed related to that guy Yan Bei'an.
"Pretty much, but he didn't introduce her to me; we just met through him—who would introduce their uncle's friend to be their girlfriend?"
Su Xiaorong laughed too: "Then can he be your matchmaker? If you get married, he'll have to sit at the matchmaker's table, right?"
All three of them burst into laughter.
Gao Nan: "Next time you see him, call him Matchmaker Yan."
Su Xiaorong: "That's a good option."
Liang Liangwei: "He'll be furious!"
When Yan Zhixu returned after paying the bill, he saw three women covering their mouths and laughing so hard their shoulders were shaking.
"..."
