Me and You, Reversed

Guanhe Courtyard Chinese Restaurant.

"Come on, everyone, let's have a toast! Wishing Sakura and Andrew all the best in their endeavors in China!"

Wishing the two children happiness and harmony!

"Cheers."

After his girlfriend explained, Andrew quickly stood up and said "thank you" several times with a smile.

Amidst the crisp, pleasant clinking of glass, Xie Shuyu downed the last bit of red wine in her glass in one gulp.

Then he chatted with Andrew and Xie Chunying about Magic City and work, occasionally explaining things to other relatives.

The main reason her parents brought her here today is that, among all the relatives, she is the only one who can communicate fluently in English.

Moreover, he had previously worked in Magic City.

Her presence can make the atmosphere more harmonious.

Otherwise, it would be somewhat awkward if Xie Chunying were the only one relaying the message.

Aunt Zeng Yan, with a big smile on her face, added the information she knew from the side.

Top consulting firms, Fortune 500 multinational companies, working in customer management...

After saying that, the daughter began to praise her future son-in-law, Andrew.

He would occasionally throw in a few words of Chinglish and chat with Andrew, regardless of whether the other could understand him.

Her family has poured so much effort into their daughter, especially during her years studying abroad; they really scrimped and saved to support her.

Now that she has finally made something of herself and brought back such a wonderful boyfriend, she is extremely excited and moved.

Later on, they started planning which nationality their future child would have, and even specifically asked Xie Shuyu for her opinion.

Seeing that the topic of "marriage" and "childbirth" had come up again, Xie Shuyu, worried that she would be implicated, gave a casual reply and got up to walk towards the bathroom.

Watching her departing figure.

Zeng Yan patted Mother Xie's hand and said earnestly, "Sister-in-law, you and my brother should talk to Little Rain when you have time. She should find someone. She'll have a companion in the future, otherwise she'll be too lonely."

Mother Xie glanced at her and shook her head, saying, "Our Little Rain has always been a very principled person. If you're so capable, you can try to persuade her."

"Sigh—" Zeng Yan chuckled awkwardly, "Then forget it."

She just wanted to take advantage of this topic to brag about her daughter.

I had only just started by asking if she had any plans to date when Xie Shuyu gave me the cold shoulder.

If you really asked her to say it to Xie Shuyu face to face, she definitely wouldn't dare.

"Buzzing—"

The Mobile Phone rang, accompanied by a loud vibration.

"It's Little Rain on the phone."

Mother Xie glanced at the Mobile Phone on her daughter's seat.

The caller is [Tang Song].

She knew her daughter's habit: she would add an "@" symbol before the names of people who were important to her, which was equivalent to pinning them to the top of her contacts.

This habit started in middle school.

Generally speaking, those who receive this treatment are her parents, family members, and close friends.

This name is clearly a boy's name, and I've never heard my daughter say it before; there's even a symbol in front of it.

This unusual behavior immediately piqued her curiosity.

However, she never answers her daughter's calls without permission, as this could involve privacy.

I picked up my Mobile Phone and pressed the volume button.

Soon, the Mobile Phone went silent; the other party had hung up.

After a while...

"Buzz buzz buzz—" The Mobile Phone rang again.

Still [Tang Song].

Zeng Yan, who was chatting with her, said, "Sister-in-law, Little Rain's Mobile Phone is ringing again. Why don't you answer it? She's not at the company right now; what if it's an emergency?"

"That's true." Mother Xie picked up her Mobile Phone and hesitated before answering the call.

Immediately after, a young and magnetic voice came through the receiver. "Hello, Shuyu-jie, I'm in Quancheng tonight to meet up with friends. Sister You Rong told me you're at the Guanhe Courtyard Chinese Restaurant. I'm on my way there now and will be there in a few minutes. I'd like to see you; I have something very important to tell you."

Mother Xie's heart skipped a beat; something was wrong with her daughter!

She had known Jiang You Rong for a long time; she was a university professor and a very steady person.

They would never casually tell anyone the address of their family banquet.

The fact that this guy could get information from her and be pinned to the top of Little Rain list means their relationship is definitely not simple.

Great! Great! It's like an iron tree blooming!

Who knows, I might actually get to hold my grandson (or granddaughter) someday!

Mother Xie beamed and said, "You're looking for Little Rain, right? She's in the bathroom. I'll have her call you back when she gets back!"

Tang Song on the other end of the phone was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Oh, okay, thank you."

"You're welcome, you're welcome!"

I hung up the phone.

Zeng Yan, who was standing next to her, asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, whose phone is this? Why do you seem so happy?"

"A friend of Little Rain's said she's coming to visit her and will be at Guanhe Courtyard soon."

"Oh?" Zeng Yan raised her slender eyebrows, keenly noticing the key point, "A man?"

"Yeah, I see!"

Hearing this and seeing Mother Xie's expression, the others' curiosity was piqued, and they began to ask more questions.

"Su'e, Little Rain isn't dating someone, is she?"

"What's going on? Little Rain's boyfriend is coming over for dinner?"

"No way? My sister has a boyfriend?"

Mother Xie quickly shook her head and said, "You guys shouldn't talk nonsense, or Little Rain will get angry again."

"Splash—" The tap was turned on.

Xie Shuyu washed her hands and tidied her clothes and hairstyle in front of the mirror.

As soon as I stepped out of the restroom, I heard lively discussions coming from the banquet area behind the screen.

He also mentioned himself.

Frowning slightly, Xie Shuyu strode inside.

The dining table fell silent the moment she appeared.

Mother Xie quickly stood up and said, "Little Rain, a boy named Tang Song just called you and said he's coming to Guanhe Courtyard to find you."

"Uh..." Xie Shuyu paused, her pace quickening unconsciously as she took the Mobile Phone her mother handed her and glanced at it.

Mother Xie explained, "I didn't answer the first time he called, but he called again later, and I answered because I was afraid it was an emergency."

"I understand, Mom. I'll go make a phone call back," Xie Shuyu said, and walked out of the banquet area again.

"Dudu— " The phone rang twice before being answered.

"Hey, you're coming to Guanhe Courtyard? When?"

"Almost there, I should be there in about 3 minutes. Are you free now? I'd like to talk to you about the funding for Glimmer Coffee. If you're busy, let's reschedule for tomorrow."

Xie Shuyu was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It's convenient. I'll come downstairs and wait for you. It's at the east gate of Guanhe Courtyard."

"Okay, see you later."

"Bye-bye."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Shuyu looked at her reflection in the French windows and suddenly felt cheerful.

This emotion came on fiercely and inexplicably.

She is a confident and resilient person, and believes she can overcome any challenge.

The predicament of Glimmer Coffee and the failure to secure funding dealt her a heavy blow, inevitably causing her confusion and frustration.

This trip back to my hometown of Quancheng from Yancheng was a process of self-healing, whether it was an off-road trip or chatting with my parents and friends.

Hearing that Tang Song had come to see her specially, she became lively.

Back to the banquet area.

Seeing the gazes cast at her relatives, Xie Shuyu's slightly upturned lips drooped.

She picked up her bag from her seat and said softly, "A friend is coming over, I'll go out for a bit."

"How about..." Mother Xie said softly, "Why don't you invite your friend over to sit here and chat?"

Zeng Yan added, "Yes, Little Rain, since he's your friend, you can let him come up directly, and we can order a few more dishes."

"No need." Xie Shuyu calmly shook her head and slung her bag over her shoulder.

What's the meaning of having Tang Song come over when you have a bunch of relatives on your side?

Inappropriate.

Mother Xie quickly grabbed her and asked, "Will you be coming back later?"

"I've almost finished eating, so I won't be coming back. Mom, you didn't drink, so you can drive Dad home later." Xie Shuyu handed over the BMW car keys. "I'm leaving now, my friend will be downstairs soon. Bye."

There wasn't anything else going on, and if I stayed any longer, I might end up listening to my aunt talk about registering a baby's birth. So I decided to find an excuse to slip away.

Xie Chunying stood up and said, "By the way, sis, how about I come downstairs with you? I haven't given you the gift I brought back from abroad yet."

"It's okay, I'll give it to my mom later."

"Okay..." Xie Chunying was a little disappointed. She had always admired her cousin since she was a child.

I heard it might be her boyfriend, and I really want to see him in person.

Watching Xie Shuyu stride out of the private room with her long legs.

The group exchanged glances and began to discuss the matter again.

Xie Chunying walked quickly to the French windows, her eyes fixed on the view below.

After a while, she exclaimed excitedly, "My sister's out! She's waiting outside. The boy should be here soon!"

Hearing this, Mother Xie couldn't sit still any longer. "Let me see what he looks like. Anyway, his voice sounds very young."

She's his own daughter, how could he not care?

However, she knew her daughter's temperament and personality, so she never interfered too much.

Then, several more relatives got up from their seats and came to the window.

"Let me see too. Shuyu-jie is so outstanding, her boyfriend must be great too!"

"He might be a very wealthy man."

"Whether someone is rich or poor doesn't matter, as long as they are upright."

The gloomy sky seemed to be gently covered by a thick layer of gray gauze.

The black Rolls-Royce drove along the winding road, quietly disappearing into the night.

Soon, the gently flowing river came into view.

Guanhe Courtyard is located next to a clear river and is not far from the Expo Garden.

The area is surrounded by trees, with wide and smooth roads, and the environment is excellent.

Tang Song checked the map app and realized that he was only a few hundred meters away from his destination.

He tapped the armrest lightly with his fingers, his eyes sparkling with anticipation and excitement.

This time, he will completely change Xie Shuyu's impression of him.

She participated in her and Glimmer Coffee's future as an investor.

Their relationship will also undergo a fundamental change.

The car smoothly made a turn and slowly drove onto Binhe Road.

Tang Song's gaze passed through the front window and landed on Xie Shuyu standing on the sidewalk.

The dim streetlights cast a soft glow, making her figure appear even taller.

Her thick, jet-black hair was slightly curled and fell smoothly over her shoulders.

She lowered her head slightly, her left hand resting on her right arm, and a familiar LV Gold Sahara slung over her shoulder.

Her dress swayed gently in the breeze, adding to her aloof and elegant demeanor.

Beneath the A-line skirt, her long, fair legs were pressed tightly together, exuding elegance and sexiness.

Looking at that incredibly familiar figure and recalling the past, Tang Song's heart couldn't help but beat faster.

Xie Shuyu, Xie Shuyu.

The bright lights swept across the curb and fell on her, casting a long shadow.

Xie Shuyu narrowed her eyes slightly and shifted her position.

Looking up, I saw Rolls-Royce slowly approaching.

The wheels rolled slowly across the ground, making a soft sound.

The Spirit of Ecstasy on the front of the car gleamed with a captivating luster under the streetlights, as if it were coated with a thin layer of gold.

The imposing body and exquisite chrome trim outline a luxurious silhouette.

Xie Shuyu was no stranger to the Phantom.

Looking at the license plate "Yan A", Xie Shuyu's heart stirred slightly.

She has met many wealthy and powerful people, including some who drive Phantom.

But such people usually have assets in the hundreds of millions.

Or they may control a large conglomerate and make purchases in the name of the company to offset taxes.

As she pondered this in secret.

A barely perceptible braking sound rang out, and the Rolls Royce Phantom came to a smooth stop beside her.

Xie Shuyu took half a step back and looked at the back of the car.

Because of the privacy glass, nothing can be seen.

"Click—" The driver's door opened, and a lithe and tall figure stepped out.

Her steps were light and steady as she walked around to the back door, gently grasped the door handle, and slowly opened the door.

The entire process was swift and efficient, with movements as natural as flowing water.

Combined with her calm and solemn face, she possessed a unique beauty in the night.

As the reverse door opened, the exquisite and luxurious interior slowly unfolded, and the figure sitting in the seat gradually came into Xie Shuyu's sight.

A black silk shirt paired with crisp black trousers accentuates a tall and robust physique.

Beneath his jet-black, tousled hair, a handsome, sculpted face was faintly visible under the light.

The hard-soled leather shoes made a crisp "clack-clack" sound as they stepped on the cement concrete floor.

He stood up gracefully, appearing abruptly in the night, and Wei Xiao at her.

Xie Shuyu stared blankly, her mouth slightly open.

Tang Song, Tang Song?

"Thump thump—" The sound of my heartbeat echoed in my ears.

Tang Song couldn't help but smile as he looked at the beautiful Female President's shocked expression.

At this moment, in this situation, it truly feels just like I did back then.

Only the relationships between the characters have been reversed.

I was sitting by the window in the coffee shop at the time.

I saw a BMW 7 Series stop outside the window.

Watching Xie Shuyu calmly walk down from above.

Looking at her elegant and dignified demeanor.

Looking at the confidence and beauty emanating from her.

He looked at her standing in front of him.

I had a similar expression back then.

For him, perhaps making up for regrets and resentment is the true meaning of success.

This applies to game characters, to parents and family members, and to women as well.

"Bang!" The back door slammed shut, and Liu Jiayi walked to the side of the car, her sharp eyes scanning her surroundings.

Xie Shuyu's eyes trembled slightly, and she said softly, "Xiao Song, you..."

At this moment, the shock she felt was indescribable, but her usual composure and reserve allowed her to maintain a certain level of calm.

"Shuyu-jie, good evening. You look beautiful today." Tang Song smiled brightly and came to stand very close to her.

I was so close I could breathe in her deep woody scent and subtle Moli fragrance.

"Good evening." Xie Shuyu's cheeks flushed slightly. She subconsciously looked away from him and glanced at the Rolls-Royce beside her, asking, "What's going on with this car?"

"That's not important."

No, this is important!

Xie Shuyu's mouth moved, but in the end she didn't say anything. She felt that Tang Song in front of her had become somewhat different.

It seems to be full of aggression.

Actually, she had this feeling when they parted last time; that proactive hug left a deep impression on her.

"I heard from Sister You Rong that you were feeling really down because of the failed fundraising, so I wanted to come and see you. Are you alright?"

Xie Shuyu's eyes flickered slightly, and she said in a low voice, "It's not that serious, I'm fine, thank you for your concern."

"That's good." Tang Song lowered his gaze, sizing up the elegant Female President.

She has Ming Li features, fair skin, and thick, black hair.

She is elegant and mature, with a good posture and excellent energy.

Overall, she exudes a sophisticated, mature beauty that inspires a strong desire to conquer.

Tang Song took a deep breath, unable to contain his excitement, and opened his arms to hug the dignified, tall, and slender Female President.

A strong sense of satisfaction and accomplishment washed over me once again.

I felt his strong, powerful embrace and breathed in his intoxicating scent.

Xie Shuyu's eyes widened suddenly, and her body gradually went limp.

"They... they hugged!?" Xie Chunying blurted out, "He's my sister's boyfriend? He's so... so handsome!"

She didn't know how to describe him, but the most intuitive feeling was that he was handsome, had a good temperament, and was very outstanding.

As she spoke, the people in front of the French windows gradually woke up.

The scenes that had just unfolded were still flashing before their eyes.

A solemn and dignified Rolls-Royce, a dashing and beautiful driver, and a tall and handsome young man.

"This guy looks really impressive."

"Of course, it's Rolls Royce Phantom, a car that costs over ten million. I've only ever seen it on short videos."

"Wow, so expensive? Little Rain is amazing, she found such a great boyfriend."

"Su'e, when did Little Rain start dating? I've never heard her mention it."

Hearing the discussions around her, Mother Xie took a deep breath, and an excited smile spread across her face.

"I don't know either. As you all know, Little Rain has been independent since she was little. Her father and I don't interfere in these matters, nor can we. But on the other hand, Little Rain definitely has her own plans and knows who is the best match for her. Our meddling will only backfire."

As she spoke, she glanced at Zeng Yan with a smile.

My daughter has always been my pride and joy, and has never caused my husband and me any worry.

Now it seems she has her own ideas about her future Partner.

Even if they wanted to help such an outstanding man, they wouldn't have any way to introduce him to someone.

Zeng Yan grinned, looking down at the figures embracing downstairs, and at the two luxurious and elegant Rolls-Royce, with envy on her face.

The sliver of arrogance that had just risen in my heart was instantly extinguished.

How can you compare them?

After a moment of silence, Zeng Yan said awkwardly, "Yes, Little Rain has always been capable and resourceful. As for the financing, it seems we were just worrying for nothing."

Other relatives chimed in, their faces filled with excitement and anticipation.

Driving such a luxury car worth tens of millions of dollars means you are definitely a big shot who is far beyond their level.

With such a partner, Xie Shuyu's future will definitely get better and better.

They can also benefit from this.

After a long hug, Tang Song slowly released her and took half a step back.

"Shuyu-jie, the river view here is nice, how about we take a walk together?"

"Mm." Xie Shuyu nodded gently, her expression returning to normal.

Although she had many doubts and struggles in her heart, she did not express them.

I also believe that Tang Song will soon explain things to her.

The weeping willows along the riverbank sway gently, their slender branches drooping to the ground.

As you walk along the sidewalk, you can smell the moist scent of the river and the fragrance of flowers and plants in the air.

The two walked quietly for a while.

Tang Song stopped in a Rest Area, turned to look at her and said, "Actually, I came here to talk to you about investing in Glimmer Coffee."

Xie Shuyu tightened her grip slightly. "What do you mean?"

She could naturally understand the meaning behind Tang Song's words, but she was somewhat surprised and incredulous.

Looking into her bright and spirited eyes, Tang Song Wei Xiao and said, "To put it simply, I've invested in the Glimmer Coffee project! I've already contacted the other two shareholders, and I'll be able to acquire all the shares they hold soon."

Upon hearing the definite answer, Xie Shuyu's full chest heaved, and her breathing gradually became rapid.

Taking a deep breath and trying to remain calm, she said, "You're not kidding?"

"Of course, I've participated in investment roadshows and have a very thorough understanding of the project. I've also conducted detailed research and analysis. Currently, the coffee industry is highly competitive, with leading brands having a significant impact. The chain store rate of brands is constantly increasing, and major brands are accelerating the expansion of their store numbers..."

Tang Song appeared relaxed and composed, speaking fluently about various data reports, demonstrating excellent professional competence.

After speaking for a good four or five minutes...

Tang Song reached out and grasped her arm, Wei Xiao as he said, "Of course, all of the above are secondary. The most important thing is that I believe in you and want to work with you to make Glimmer Coffee bigger and stronger."

Looking at his tall, handsome, and spirited figure, and listening to his words, Xie Shuyu felt as if she were seeing that morning from half a year ago again.

At the Glimmer Coffee shop.

She spoke to Tang Song face-to-face in the same manner, sharing her views on technology development and her requirements for part-time staff.

Finally, I expressed my trust and affirmation to him, and hoped to work with him to make the Mini Program a success.

Similar scenes, but with me and you reversed.
