Getting the best from Tarkov

Chapter 116 Mr. Tang

"Brother Liao, what did you say?"

"Huh? Oh, nothing, what about us now?"

Hearing Liao Fan's question, Tang Shilong said: "It's okay, it's still early anyway, come, I'll take you around."

After saying that, he led Liao Fan outside first.

Liao Fan didn't say anything. He took Tang Yunong's hand and followed Tang Shilong to start to visit the villa.

However, as soon as I walked out of the living room, I saw a beautiful woman leading a well-behaved and lovely little girl walking towards me.

Seeing the newcomer, Tang Shilong immediately greeted her with a smile: "Aunt San! You're here? Where's Uncle San? Hasn't he come yet? This is Yaoyao, right? She's so cute."

Seeing that it was Tang Shilong, the beautiful woman also smiled and said, "Ah Long, your third uncle is drinking tea with your father in the backyard, why don't you go and take a look?"

After hearing what the beautiful woman said, Tang Shilong exchanged a few simple greetings, teased the little girl next to him, and then introduced the identities of Liao Fan and the other two to the beautiful woman.

After hearing Tang Shilong's words, the beautiful woman immediately expressed gratitude to Liao Fan, which made Liao Fan feel a little embarrassed. He was wondering if the other family was a little too enthusiastic.

However, he couldn't show it, so he had to cater to the other party, said a few simple words, and followed Tang Shilong to the backyard.

On the way, Tang Shilong told Liao Fan the identity of the beautiful woman.

As they walked and talked, Liao Fan soon arrived at the backyard of the villa.

When he saw the scene in front of him, Liao Fan suddenly felt confused. He felt that there was something strange about this family.

But if you ask him what's strange about it, he can't put his finger on it.

While Liao Fan was thinking to himself, Tang Shilong had already led Liao Fan to the side of two middle-aged men.

"Dad, Third Uncle, this is Liao Fan, the friend I told you about a few days ago. Brother Liao, this is my father, and this is Third Uncle."

After briefly explaining the situation to both parties, Tang Shilong's father took the initiative to stand up and shook Liao Fan's hand, followed by a long string of thanks, which made Liao Fan embarrassed again.

But it wasn't just him. Tang Yunong next to him also felt that something was wrong.

This family was a little overly enthusiastic.

After chatting briefly with the two elders, Liao Fan immediately found an excuse to take Tang Yunong and leave the backyard, and Tang Shilong hurried to follow.

When they reached a deserted spot, Liao Fan couldn't hold it in any longer and took the initiative to ask, "Brother Tang, tell me the truth, what's going on? Why do I feel like your family is a little too enthusiastic?"

Hearing Liao Fan's question, Tang Shilong's face showed a hint of embarrassment for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal. After a moment, he laughed and said, "Brother Liao, don't think too much. My family is very hospitable.

Don't be too nervous. I guess they see you're dressed so formally and think you take this dinner very seriously, so they're happy."

Seeing Tang Shilong say this, Liao Fan knew that he couldn't get anything out of him for the time being, so he had to pretend to believe the other party's lies.

Just as the three were about to continue to visit the villa, Xu Bo walked over from not far away.

Coming closer, he said directly to Tang Shilong, "Master, the master has come down. It's time to order. Will you take the guests to the restaurant first?"

Although it was just a question, judging by the tone, Liao Fan didn't feel he had any reason to refuse, so he followed him towards the restaurant. Tang Shilong beside him whispered, "Don't mind it. Uncle Xu is always like this. Not only you, but he treats everyone else in the family the same way, except for the old man."

After listening to Tang Shilong's explanation, Liao Fan couldn't help but look at Xu Bo who was walking in front of him curiously.

interesting.

Following Xu Bo, Liao Fan and the other two walked into a very spacious restaurant.

In the middle of the restaurant stood a large rectangular dining table, which, judging by its size, could seat about 30 people at a time.

Seeing this scene, Liao Fan couldn't help but sigh in his heart, what a wealthy family they are, they have to use such a big table just to have a meal.

At this time, several people had already sat down at the table, both men and women. However, Liao Fan felt something was even more wrong. Looking at the people sitting at the dining table, Liao Fan always felt that something was wrong.

However, he didn't have time to think about it, as Uncle Xu had already led him and Tang Yunong to the side of the dining table.

There were certain rules for seating at this long dining table. Liao Fan and Tang Yunong were seated at the first and second seats on the right side of the table, while the third seat was occupied by a beautiful woman they hadn't seen before.

Just when Liao Fan was wondering where Tang Shilong would sit next, he saw him walk straight to the first seat on the left side of the long table, which was opposite Liao Fan.

At this time, the main seat was empty, but Caidou didn't need to guess, this seat must be the seat of the old man of the Tang family.

Sure enough, just after Liao Fan and Tang Yunong sat down, Uncle Xu walked in step by step, supporting an old man in a Tang suit with white hair and beard.

When Liao Fan saw the person coming, his expression suddenly became serious. Although the old man walked a little unsteadily, the temperament he exuded did not show any sign of old age.

When they saw the old man, everyone sitting at the table stood up and gestured, and after the old man sat down, everyone sat down one by one.

Although Liao Fan was an orphan since childhood and no one taught him these etiquettes, he just learned from the people around him.

After everyone was seated, Uncle Xu began to ask the servants in the kitchen to serve the dishes.

As the dishes were served one by one, Liao Fan realized that this meal was actually a standard French Western meal.

At this moment, Liao Fan was a little nervous for no reason. Thinking back to the first time he went to eat French food with Tang Yunong, he almost made a fool of himself.

But before Liao Fan could come up with a way to respond, he heard the old man next to him shout at the servant who was about to leave, and then said something with some complaints.

"Ah Xu, didn't I tell you before, this is not France, this is Hong Kong, there's no need to make everything so complicated, it's just a meal, what's the point of having so many tableware?

Just remove it, and leave one set."

After saying that, he put aside the pile of knives, forks and spoons of various sizes as if in a fit of temper, leaving only a set of knives and forks and a spoon of medium size at hand.

Seeing the old man do this, the other people at the table followed suit and picked out a set of tableware from the pile and put it aside, then waited for the servants to take away the rest.

However, even though everyone did as they were told, they couldn't hide the confusion in their eyes. What happened to the old man? Wasn't he usually the most polite?

At this moment, Liao Fan was really shocked. The old saying was right, old people are wise and old horses are smart. He just subconsciously showed a look of helplessness, and the old man immediately guessed the embarrassment he was facing and quickly came up with a solution.

Only he can use this method, because he is the oldest and has the highest status. He can rely on his age to show some harmless temper. If it were anyone else, even Tang Shilong who also sits in the first seat, he would never dare to act like this.

After thinking this through, Liao Fan immediately cast a look of gratitude towards the old man beside him without leaving any trace.

He did it very secretly, but he believed the old man would see it.

Sure enough, as soon as Liao Fan withdrew his gaze, the old man immediately smiled knowingly, and deliberately changed the subject, saying, "Hey, when people get old, they often find it troublesome. Ah Long, I haven't heard you introduce this friend yet."

After hearing the old man's words, Tang Shilong quickly introduced Liao Fan's identity to the other elders at the table.

After hearing that Liao Fan was the person who saved Tang Shilong in the bar some time ago, all the adults at the dinner table expressed their strong gratitude to Liao Fan.

Even Mr. Tang next to Liao Fan was the same.

This made Liao Fan, who had just regained his composure, feel a little embarrassed again, but he did not notice the surprise on Tang Yunong's face.

It turned out that after Liao Fan returned home that night, he did not tell anyone else about this incident. Therefore, after these days, Tang Yunong and the others had no idea what Liao Fan was doing that night.
