Chapter 115 - I'm Just Lucky

After Xiao Tian finished attending the Rising Star TV show, he immediately left because he was starving. Xiao Tian walked for about five minutes before finally, he decided to eat at a street vendor.

The reason he wanted to eat at a street vendor was that he remembered when he didn't have money to buy a portion of food in the restaurant.

At that time, even though the food was cheap but it was tasty. That was why Xiao Tian wanted to eat at the street vendor again.

And when he spotted a street vendor, he was startled because he saw many people eating in that street vendor. There were several tables and chairs around the street vendor, but almost all the chairs were occupied.

Seeing that, Xiao Tian was curious why many people ate at that street vendor. After choosing the food he wanted to eat and immediately paying for it, Xiao Tian scanned for an empty seat.

Seeing an empty chair in front of an elderly who was around sixty years old, Xiao Tian walked toward the elderly. Even though the elder was already old, but his body was still healthy, as if he was a person who diligently exercised every day to keep his body healthy.

"Excuse me, elder. Is this seat empty?" Xiao Tian didn't immediately sit on the chair. He was afraid that the chair was not empty, or the elderly was waiting for someone.

"Oh, young man. You can sit in this chair. This chair is empty" the elderly replied

Hearing his answer, Xiao Tian put the food on the table before sitting on the chair.

"It's delicious" Xiao Tian smiled happily after tasting the food.

No wonder many people eat here. The food here is good and affordable. Xiao Tian thought to himself.

The elderly, who was drinking tea, put the tea on the table after seeing Xiao Tian's happy expression. "Young man, is this your first time eating here?"

"Yes, elder. This is my first time eating here. At first, I just wanted to know why many people eat here, but after tasting the food, I know the reason" Xiao Tian was a little surprised when the elderly suddenly talked to him. He knew in a big city like Shanghai; not many people want to talk to a stranger. People in big cities usually live individually; even many people don't know who their neighbors are.

"The food here is reasonable and tasty. This street vendor is well-known for its delicious food. That's why many people eat here," the elderly spoke and pause for several seconds after remembering something. "You're Xiao Tian, right? The young man who recently appeared in Young Talented People magazine."

"Yes. You're right. I'm Xiao Tian. I'm just lucky" Xiao Tian didn't feel proud even though he appeared in a well-known magazine; instead, he was annoyed. If he can repeat time, he will refuse to be interviewed by Young Talented People magazine. Xiao Tian was still annoyed after remembering Jiang Yin kept asking the questions about his past life.

"Ah! It seems you're not happy even though you appear in a famous magazine" even though Xiao Tian answered the question with a smile on his face, the elderly could see that the smile on Xiao Tian's face was not from Xiao Tian's heart.

Xiao Tian was shocked after hearing the elder's words. He had no idea why the elderly knew that he was unhappy even though he appeared in a famous magazine. He was sure that he answered the question with a smile on his face, but the elderly still knew his real feelings.

'Who is this elderly? How did he know that?'

Xiao Tian looked at the elderly intently.

"Don't look at me like that, young man. I've experienced many things in life. That's why I know your true feeling" the elderly closed his eyes and started drinking the tea again

"Elder, may I know your name?" Xiao Tian wanted to know who was the person sitting in front of him.

The elderly opened his eyes and answered, "I'm Zhao Chen."

Xiao Tian was a little surprised after Zhen Chen introduced himself. But he wanted to know whether the elderly in front of him was from the famous Zhao family or not. "Elder, are you from the famous Zhao family? the Zhao family, which famous for their martial art?"

"That's right. I'm from the famous Zhao family" Zhao Chen didn't expect that Xiao Tian would ask that question. Zhao Chen had guessed that Xiao Tian didn't know anything about him the moment Xiao Tian asked his name.

In the past, Zhao Chen often appeared on TV or in magazines. That's why he was famous in the whole of China, but he didn't expect that there was still someone in China that didn't know who he was.

Zhao Chen then looked into Xiao Tian's eyes. He wanted to know whether Xiao Tian really didn't know anything about him or just pretended not to know. But after seeing Xiao Tian's eyes, Zhao Chen knew that Xiao Tian really didn't know who he was.

'Does he never read newspapers, magazines or watch TV? He doesn't know who I am?! Does he live under stone?'

Zhao Chen was a little disappointed after learning that there were still people who didn't know anything about him. He thought all people in the whole of China knew him due to how genius he was when he was young or due to his family. But of course, he didn't show it on his face that he was a little disappointed.

Xiao Tian, on the other hand, didn't expect to meet with one of Zhao's family members in the street vendor. Usually upper-class family always eat at famous or luxury places and here, Xiao Tian met with one of Zhao's family members who was eating and drinking at the street vendor as if he was from a lower-class family.

"Who is Zhao Sheng to you?" Xiao Tian was curious about Zhao Chen relationship with Zhao Sheng, was it grandson or nephew.

"He is my grandson. Oh! Did you meet him earlier? Or are you, his friend?" once again, Zhao Chen was a little surprised that Xiao Tian didn't know Zhao Sheng was his grandson. Many people knew that Zhao Sheng was his grandson because they often appear together in a party or hang out together. It could be said that in the Zhao family, his relationship with his grandson Zhao Sheng was the closest compared to other family members. When Zhao Sheng was beaten by his father, Zhao Chen was the one who punishes Zhao Sheng's father, and the reason Zhao Sheng could become a businessman was because of him too.

Even though Zhao Chen was disappointed when his grandson chose business over their family martial art, he still let his grandson become a businessman. The reason he allowed his grandson to become a businessman was that he loved his grandson very much and didn't want to make his grandson regret his life when his grandson is old later. For this reason, he let his grandson do what he wanted.

"I met him at Rising Star TV show earlier," Xiao Tian answered honestly.

"Oh! So, you were also invited by Rising Star TV show today?" although Zhao Chen knew that Xiao Tian would get invited by Rising Star TV show, he didn't expect that they would invite Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng at the same time.

Actually, Zhao Chen was curious about Xiao Tian the moment Xiao Tian appeared in Young Talented People magazine. He thought his grandson was the only business genius in his grandson generation, but he was wrong because there was one more person who was as genius as his grandson in business. And that person was none other than Xiao Tian.

For this reason, Zhao Chen was curious about Xiao Tian and did some research on Xiao Tian's background. Zhao Chen was a little surprised after knowing Xiao Tian's origin. He didn't expect Xiao Tian is a child who was expelled from the Xiao family sixteen years ago. 

Zhao Chen suddenly felt sorry for the young man in front of him. He didn't expect that Xiao Tian would have that kind of history.

"Yes. I met your grandson in the studio earlier, but I immediately left after the show was over" Xiao Tian replied

Hearing Xiao Tian's words, Zhao Chen touched his chin and said, "So the show was over. Why is my grandson still not coming to meet me now? What is he doing right now?"

"Ah! Maybe he is eating lunch with Zi Yin right now. Before I left, I saw that he was inviting Zi Yin to have lunch with him" after the show was over, Xiao Tian saw Zhao Sheng immediately walked toward Zi Yin to seduce her and invite her to have lunch with him.

Zhao Chen immediately smiled after hearing Xiao Tian's words, but a terrifying aura appeared around him when he was smiling. "Ho! So that grandson of mine didn't keep his words and seduced another woman again. Interesting, interesting."

'Eh! What is this? Did I say the wrong thing?'

Xiao Tian looked at Zhao Chen for several seconds before drinking mineral water.

'Zhao Sheng, I hope you are still alive after today.'

Xiao Tian knew that after Zhao Sheng gets home, Zhao Sheng would get some education from his grandfather.

'I suddenly feel guilty for telling his grandfather about it. Well, I will pray to God so that Zhao Sheng won't stay in bed for too long this time.'
