2718. Hu Tianpeng, the Old Man of the Hu Family 1
This is the first time Leng Xuan has come to Hu's house. The Hu family lives in an old courtyard house passed down from the past. Although it is a bit shabby, it is not simple. Nowadays, the State of China has listed ancient buildings like courtyards as a cultural heritage. Therefore, in places like Beijing, those who can live in courtyards are either rich or noble. Leng Xuan stood in front of the door, stretched out his hand and pressed the doorbell. After a while, the door opened from the inside, and Hu Feng appeared in Leng Xuan's sight with a cheerful face. The two exchanged a few polite words, and Leng Xuan followed Hu Feng and walked in.
Under the leadership of Hu Feng, Leng Xuan walked into the courtyard, looked around, and then sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Hu Feng personally brought a glass of water and placed it in front of Leng Xuan. He smiled and said, "My parents have to work overtime tonight, so it will be just the three of us having dinner. The old man called me just now and said he would be home soon." Just as he finished speaking, he heard a sound coming from the door of the courtyard. Hu Feng grinned and said, "I'm back. Let's go. I'll take you to meet my old man." As he spoke, he took Leng Xuan's hand and walked out. When they arrived at the courtyard, they saw an old man in formal clothes walking in slowly, accompanied by several men in black. When the men in black saw a stranger in their home, they immediately became vigilant. The old man who noticed these details smiled slightly and said: "You guys, please retreat. Little Friend Leng will not do anything bad to me."
This old man was Hu Tianpeng, Hu Feng's grandfather. After he finished speaking, he turned his attention to Leng Xuan again and said with a smile, "Have you been here for a long time?"
"A group of people have just arrived." Leng Xuan responded with a smile, and then several people walked in together and chatted in the living room. The servants had already prepared meals and brought them to the table.
The three of them came to the restaurant. After sitting down, Hu Tianpeng smiled and said, "Little friend Leng, would you like some wine?" Upon hearing this, Hu Feng on the side immediately shouted: "Old man, you are so unfair. Didn't you say that drinking is never allowed at home? Why did you make an exception when Brother Leng came?"
Hu Tianpeng glared at Hu Feng and scolded with a smile: "You brat, you've been fooling around outside all day long, how can you still drink less? Don't think that I don't know anything. Leng Xiaoyou is a guest, so naturally he will be treated differently." Leng Xuan smiled bitterly. Said: "Mr. Hu, please don't call me Little Friend Leng. This name sounds awkward. Brother Hu and I are brothers, so just call me Leng Xuan." Hu Tianpeng chuckled and nodded. Said: "I thought you people all liked to be called that."
Leng Xuan was startled. This seemed to be the second time that Mr. Hu had hinted something. But in front of Hu Feng, it was not easy to ask directly if something happened. He smiled noncommittally and changed the subject: "Mr. Hu, this time I I'm looking for you because I want to ask something." Hu Tianpeng smiled and said, "No rush, let's finish our meal first, and we'll go to the study to chat later." After hearing this, Leng Xuan immediately said no more.
After eating, Hu Tianpeng waved to Leng Xuan and said, "Okay, come to the study with me."
Leng Xuan nodded and immediately followed Hu Tianpeng. The two came to the study and sat opposite each other at a coffee table. Hu Tianpeng fiddled with the kung fu tea set on the table and asked with a smile: "Leng Xuan, if you want to ask anything, you can say it now." Leng Xuan nodded and said: "Mr. Hu, I want to ask about Mr. Ruan, your Hu family He seems to have a good relationship with Mr. Ruan, so I thought I might be able to learn some stories about him from you."
