Vol 2 Chapter 42 (1/2)

Chapter 42     It’s Shen Tui Men again

“Bartender, bring me two jugs of good wine. To go!” Xuan Luo has arrived at the tavern, and loudly tells the dude.

Although Qian Deng Zhen is a small village, it has every type of entertainment; since the villagers have different preferences.

“Oh, is it Xuan Luo? Wow, you have grown so much in such a short time!” The boss teased and acted surprised as he looked at Xuan Luo.

“Haha, Zhang shu, we all need to grow up, don’t we not? I’m no longer the little boy from before!” Xuan Luo joked.

“Yes yes! Okay, I’m going to get the wine right now. Wait a moment!” The boss was very quick. Within a few minutes, he was already back with two jugs of wine. He placed the two jugs in front of Xuan Luo, and took out a smaller jug from behind him and smiled, “This is something I secretly stored. Bring it back to Guan old man and both of you try it!”

Since Boss Zhang was being so courteous, Xuan Luo felt a little guilty.* However, he still accepted the small jug as a gift.

“Thank you!”

“Xuan Luo, Guan old man’s temper is overly good. In fact, in the village, no one can even say anything about it. But…aiii….” Boss Zhang suddenly brought this up as if a thought had came up.

Xuan Luo was a bit taken aback by what Boss Zhang said. He didn’t know what Boss Zhang was trying to get at. However, his Stepfather’s temper is definitely super good; not only is he one of the kindest person, he also never meddle in other people’s affairs.

“Zhang shu, what’s wrong?” Xuan Luo could hear the hint within Boss Zhang’s voice, therefore although he is smiling, deep down he feels slightly anxious.

After all, this is related to Guan Shan Jue; Boss Zhang would not specifically mention his temper for no reason.

“Ai! You know the Lee family? They have wanted your restaurant ages ago. Just yesterday, they called people and created chaos in the restaurant. Yet, Guan old man didn’t say anything. If something like that were to happen to me, I would definitely confront Old Lee!” Through Boss Zhang’s voice, Xuan Luo could hear the anger and frustration. The Lee family is clearly bullying others. Guan old man is merely a lonely old man trying to survive in the village; the restaurant is his only source of income.

Hearing this, anger flashed through Xuan Luo’s eyes. But it disappeared right away. He quickly smiled and said, “Zhang shu, thanks…”

“Why are you thanking me? I didn’t do anything?!” Boss Zhang gave Xuan Luo a sloppy look.

Xuan Luo knows Boss Zhang didn’t want to meddle in this muddy water, but nonetheless, he was thankful that he spread the news to him. From what he can recall, the Lee family wasn’t that greedy. Why were they so ambitious now? Xuan Luo couldn’t figure it out.

This is such a small village, and the restaurant business isn’t big either. Why would they look for people to go after it? Xuan Luo was getting more confused by the minute. However, he isn’t going to let the Lee family get away with this. He would never let anyone get away with bullying his Stepfather. Plus, they made it extra obvious.

As Xuan Luo carried the wine jugs home, he slowly approached the limestone pathway. Deep down, he has already came up with a plan to deal with the Lee family.

“Let me go, you scoundrel!” All of a sudden, a feminine voice interrupted Xuan Luo’s thoughts.

As he looked up, Xuan Luo could see a guy attempting to a.s.sault an ordinary dressed girl. Xuan Luo recognizes the girl. She was Xiao Fang and Xuan Luo remembers Xiao Fang had a crush on Bai Tian. It was one sided though. Bai Tian didn’t feel the same. As he thought of Bai Tian, Xuan Luo couldn’t help but worry again. It has already been two years, but he hasn’t heard anything from him.

“Li Shao Miao, can you stop being so shameless!?!” Xiao Fang directly slaps Li Shao Miao in the face. The slap was loud and crisp to the ear.

Xuan Luo didn’t expect Xiao Fang to be aggressive. She looked like a very weak girl.
