The words of this cab driver made Li Qiang vexed and grieve inwardly; he even nearly coughed up a mouthful of blood. He was no longer able to suppress his anger and furiously yelled, “Shut the hell up, will you? Are you gonna die if you don’t shut up? Fuck! You know nothing that happened and yet spit out such bullshit!”
The cab driver, however, wasn’t angry. He shook his head instead and looked more sympathizing at the guy and sighed, “Alright, alright. I won’t talk again. It’s just human nature to be angry at such things. You’re the one who earns the money, so you gotta vent what you can’t vent out. No, I won’t talk again.”
Myriads of curses rushed wildly in Li Qiang’s head and he angrily glared at the cab driver before his furious face shifted to the Mercedes-Benz in front. He was truly itching and wished he could drag that punk out and rip him to pieces.
Bowen Restaurant.
The venue looked very ordinary from the outside. It was a three-story building with a classical style, containing a lot of red lanterns hanging around. Under the dazzling golden signboard, four welcoming ladies in red cheongsam stood on both sides, whereas several security guards were walking in the surroundings.
“Welcome, Miss, Sir.”
Tang Xiu held Xue Yue’s hand as they got off the Mercedez-Benz and the welcoming ladies greeted them respectfully. However, a woman in her 40s still retaining her graceful charms hurriedly ran out from the inside. She looked hesitant upon seeing Tang Xiu and Xue Yu before her eyes fell on the latter and asked, “Are you, Miss Xue?”
“I am.” Xue Yu nodded.
The graceful woman hurriedly took two placards and gave them to the duo. She greeted them, “Welcome. I’m the manager of this restaurant; you can call me Manager Hu. Elderly Chang and Elderly Bao have arrived and they have been waiting in the VIP lounge.”
“You know Chang Pinggui and Bao Anle?” asked Xue Yue, surprised.
“They are always honored patrons of our restaurant,” said Manager Hu. “They always come to Chang City every two years to have a meal and deal with some issues here. Besides, my husband is also the disciple of Elderly Chang.”
“Your husband is also an herbalist?” Xue Yu was astonished.
Manager Hu’s expression slightly changed before her face turned more respectful. She nodded and said, “That’s right. My husband is indeed an herbalist.”
“Alright. Please lead the way then.” Xue Yu nodded.
Shortly after, Tang Xiu and Xue Yu followed Manager Hu up to the VIP lounge on the third floor. What surprised them was that there were also several other people there besides the two elderly people, one of whom was a thin middle-aged man who stood respectfully behind them, whereas the other two were a white-haired old lady accompanied by a handsome young man.
“Huh?”
Right as the young man saw Tang Xiu with Xue Yue who came inside, a startled voice came out from him. His expression, however, turned a bit ugly. He strode toward the duo and arrogantly asked Xue Yue, “Who is he, Xue Yu?”
Tang Xiu looked at Xue Yu with a strange expression and smilingly asked, “You know him?”
Xue Yu just merely shot a glance at the handsome young man and lightly said, “I know him, but I’m not familiar with him.”
The said person’s face turned black and he angrily said, “Xue Yu, you know I’ve been pursuing you for quite a while. How can you say that you’re not familiar with me? And you, brat, who the hell are you? Keep your hand off Xue Yue’s, otherwise, don’t blame me for acting impolite.”
Tang Xiu couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Now I get it. You should be one of Xue Yu’s pursuers then? No wonder, though. This woman of mine is indeed a stunning beauty like a celestial maiden, so it’s only natural that men who pursue her are as many as the carps crossing the river. Alright, stop acting like a kid and threatening, got it? You can never change the fact that she’s my woman by breaking your throat either.”
Xue Yu looked as though she was very happy upon hearing Tang Xiu acknowledge her as his woman in front of others. A smile appeared on her stunning face and she said softly, “He’s right. He’s the only man in my life. So, Mr. Liu, please have some dignity and stop pestering me.”
The handsome young man looked at the couple with incredulity. Just as he was about to yell, the white-haired old lady shouted in a deep voice, “Little Meng, come back here.”
“I…”
The handsome young man opened his mouth, but he seemed to be afraid of the old lady. He shot a furious glare at Tang Xiu before he turned around to come to the old lady and sat by her side.
Xue Yu and Tang Xiu came to the front of these people. The former then looked at the two old men who got up from the sofa and lightly smiled, “You two are the herbalist, Elderly Chang Pinggui, and the Dragon Vein specialist, Elderly Bao Anle, right? I’m Xue Yu, and this is my man, Tang Xiu.”
Chang Pinggui and Bao Anle exchanged glances. They nodded a pleasantry to Xue Yue before their eyes stayed on Tang Xiu.
“This… Young Brother Tang, why do I feel that you look so familiar? Have we met before?” asked Chang Pinggui curiously.
“It’s fortunate that Elderly Chang is not a woman, otherwise, I’d have thought that I was too handsome, while you are just seeking a pretext to talk to me,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “I’m sure this is the first time we’ve met, so let me introduce myself. I’m Tang Xiu from the Magnificent Tang Corporation.”
The Magnificent Tang Corporation?
Chang Pinggui zoned out before his eyes suddenly turned wide with a gleam of disbelief in them. His body even shook a few times and he tremblingly said, “You… are the Young Divine Doctor whose great reputation has shaken the Chinese medicine field, Tang Xiu? The Big Boss of the Magnificent Tang Corporation?”
“Ah, I didn’t expect that Elderly Chang would have actually heard things about me,” said Tang Xiu with a smile. “This junior is truly honored.”
