Chapter 430 - Beat! (2/2)

The old man smiled bitterly and shook his sleeves. There was practically nothing else that was valuable apart from that piece of clothing which was considered quite decent.

“Boss, do you want to report to the officials?” The waiter saw that the boss was furious and asked while trembling in fear.

“Report to the officials? Report my a*s to the officials. This da*n fellow. Beat him up! Beat the heck out of him. How dare he eat a free meal at my place? Whatever the amount that you have eaten I will make you spit them all out.” The boss said with an angry roar and took the lead to bolt the doors.

A few of the waiters had also lifted up the stools. Even the lady boss, who also had a fat figure, had raised her rolling pin and dashed out to surround the old man at the centre.

“Forget it. I will pay his bill.” Ling Chuxi opened her mouth and said and threw over a large ingot of silver.

Although he deserved to be beaten up for eating a free meal, he was an old man in his seventies or eighties after all. It would be quite pitiful to see him being beaten up. And the most important thing was this. Did the boss really want to beat him up till he threw out all that he had eaten? That would be so disgusting. How could she continue eating her food? Furthermore, on the account that this old man was also a great foodie, she would help him to pay. Ling Chuxi’s mood was not too bad today, so she treated this as doing charity work in pa.s.sing.

“Hmph, old fellow. Consider yourself lucky. If not for this young lady showing kindness to you, I would have broken all the old bones in your body today.” The boss weighed the silver in his hands and roared at the old man fiercely while putting down the door latch.

“Many thanks to you young lady. You just wait a moment. I will pay you back once I get the silver.” The old man ignored the boss who was roaring away and said to Ling Chuxi with grat.i.tude.

“Sure. No problem.” Ling Chuxi casually answered him. She really did not take this little money to heart.

The old man went out after he had finished speaking. After a while, Ling Chuxi finished eating and paid her bill. She was sent off by the boss and waiters bowing to her and she continued her journey toward the capital.

She did not walk far when she saw the old man walking ahead unhurriedly. It looked like he was actually heading in the direction of the capital.
