Tang Dong clenched his fists and said in a heavy tone, “Will you really give me no room for negotiations?”
“No!” Gao Yanfeng complacently said.
Heaving a deep breath, Tang Dong then turned around to leave.
At this time, however, Gu Xiaoxue appeared at the door. As she saw the situation inside, she said lightly, “My Everlasting Feast Hall provides the box for the guests to dine. Here is not a place where you can behave atrociously. I have sent people to prepare the room next door, so I have to ask you to go there.”
“Boss Gu, what exactly are we going to do in the next door?” Tang Dong’s brows furrowed.
Gu Xiaoxue didn’t show any hostility toward Tang Dong. On the contrary, she showed a bit of respect due to the relationship between him and Tang Xiu. “Mr. Tang, I’m not the Everlasting Feast Hall’s owner. The master has changed. As a matter of fact, this is an instruction from our Boss. Please go to the box next door and wait for a while. He will catch up with us soon.”
“Please lead the way.” Feeling that Gu Xiaoxue didn’t hold any hostility toward him, Tang Dong’s brows raised as he nodded and replied.
Glancing at Gao Yanfeng and Ji Xiaolong, Gu Xiaoxue then turned around to leave.
Looking a bit confused, Gao Yanfeng then looked at Ji Xiaolong and asked, “Can you tell me what are the Everlasting Feast Hall’s intentions? Why does the Everlasting Feast Hall want to meddle in the issues between me and the Seaside Strait Manor? Fatty Ji, the Everlasting Feast Hall’s strength is something everyone is unable to unravel! Perhaps even both of us are not necessarily their opponents.”
Fatty Ji frowned deeply as a cold expression showed on his plump face. He pulled Gao Yanfeng to the outside and whispered, “Don’t talk nonsense. The Everlasting Feast Hall’s dreadfulness is not something our joined forces can match. I’ll tell you something. Just a dozen of their people are enough to exterminate us.”
“Are you for real?” Gao Yanfeng was horrified. “How do you know?”
“Forget how I know.” Fatty Ji said in undertone voice, “In any case, you must remember to never provoke the Everlasting Feast Hall. Moreover, you must build friendship with the Everlasting Feast Hall if there’s a chance. Even if… you have to pay a price.”
Gao Yanfeng knew Fatty Ji’s character. He knew that the man never said anything just to scare people out. However, although the Everlasting Feast Hall did indeed hide some of their strength, could it be that they were really as terrifying as Ji Xiaolong said?
Thee then went to the box next room with Gu Xiaoxue. The box was twice larger than the previous one and was enough to accommodate dozens of people. At this time, the furniture inside had been removed, and the Everlasting Feast Hall’s staff had unknowingly placed several sofas and placed them against the wall.
“Gentlemen, please have a seat.” Gu Xiaoxue went straight to the back and directly took the middle seat.
Although Tang Dong was clueless as to why the Everlasting Feast Hall was intervening in this matter, he actually didn’t feel any hostility from Gu Xiaoxue. Therefore, he felt calm and secure as he sat down on the right side sofa, in front of Gu Xiaoxue. As for Gao Yanfeng and Fatty Ji, they took a seat on the left sofa.
Fatty Ji’s eyes then fell on Gu Xiaoxue. Despite her breathtaking beauty, he actually didn’t dare to show any dirty actions toward her. He cupped his fists and said, “Elderly Gu…”
“My name is Gu Xiaoxue!” Gu Xiaoxue said lightly.
Fatty Ji quickly changed the address and said, “Miss Gu, may I ask who is the current master of the Everlasting Feast Hall?”
“You’ll naturally know it when our Boss arrives.” Gu Xiaoxue said lightly.
Forcing out a smile, Fatty Ji knew that it was a pile of rubbish. However, he wanted to clear out his perplexed feeling, as he then asked again, “Miss Gu, we have indeed had a small scuffle in your Everlasting Feast Hall, but it’s just a trivial matter; we had yet to act against each other. We will naturally pay for all the damage done; double. Anyhow, we don’t understand why would your Boss want to see us.”
Maintaining her indifference expression, Gu Xiaoxue replied with the same words as before, “You’ll naturally know it when our Boss has arrived.”
Fatty Ji fell into silence.
For a while, the atmosphere in the box became a bit suffocating.
“Boss!”
The Everlasting Feast Hall’s security staff’s voice was heard from outside the box.
“En!”
Tang Xiu nodded in response. As he stepped into the box, he could clearly see the situation inside. When his eyes met with Tang Dong’s, he could see the disbelief in them.
“Boss!”
Gu Xiaoxue stood and called out as she lightly walked toward Tang Xiu.
Nodding to her in response, Tang Xiu then walked a few steps toward Tang Dong, who was already standing. He then chuckled and said, “Uncle Dong, I heard you were in the Everlasting Feast Hall, and you even had a conflict with some people. How is it? Have you solved the conflict yet?”
