Chapter 246 - Put It On My Tab If It Breaks (1/2)
The exotic beast trading hub in northern Bei Du was not only the biggest in Bei Du City itself, but also the largest hub in the entire circle of Bei Du’s satellite cities.
The stalls and shops in this area, which covered a radius of over a dozen kilometers, all dealt with exotic beast materials. Those larger shops were still fine, as they had to uphold their reputation. The smaller stalls, however, were different. You’d never know if they were an honest business or not. Some of them traded day to day, hoping to scam whoever they could.
Perhaps you could buy some very useful materials in these stalls, or you might get cheated out of your money. It all depended on your insight.
The car slowly drove into this area and found a place to park. Zhang Che brought Huang Tielan and started slowly wandering around.
They weren’t in a hurry to buy what they wanted. They decided to let the crowded atmosphere sink in first. Zhang Che had never seen such a huge trading hub, no matter if it was his previous or current life.
Not long after they started walking around, Huang Juyun gave them a call, praising Zhang Che for his actions earlier, saying that he performed excellently today. Not only that, he also told Zhang Che not to worry. He would settle what came after.
Zhang Che couldn’t help but think to himself, -Seems like future father-in-law has suffered quite a bit from Zhen Manting. Does it count as me helping him get back at her today?-
It was possible, thinking about it. They were from the same generation, after all, and their statuses weren’t low. Some things weren’t convenient for them to do, unless they really planned on falling out publicly. Zhang Che, as a junior, was different. No one would say anything if he let his emotions run wild after suffering some injustice.
Influenced by the demons and gods in his mind, Zhang Che suddenly turned to look at Huang Tielan and asked, “Tienan, was that Zhen Manting your mother’s competitor in the past?”
“What?” Huang Tielan was caught by surprise while looking around by his words, and startled for a moment. Afterwards, she raised her hands and rubbed her temples, saying, “Ah, ah, Zhang Xiaoche, do you have to be so nosy!?”
Zhang Che immediately understood. It seemed like his guess was spot on!
After taking another two steps, for some unknown reason, Zhang Che suddenly sighed, “Actually, I think Zhen Manting is quite alright from the looks of it. The reason why she picks on Uncle Huang so much is probably because of her hatred for him born from love. Why not ask your dad to keep her as his mistress? Wouldn’t that solve all the conflicts?”
“Hurhur…” a chuckle containing unknown meaning suddenly rang in his ear. Zhang Che felt his whole body shivering. He hurriedly jumped two steps away to the side, then pleaded, “Aiya, my brain isn’t working properly just now. I was speaking without thinking. Please don’t mind me.”
Surprisingly, Miss Tienan didn’t make a move on him. Instead, she directly took out her personal terminal and gave Huang Juyun a call.
“Dad, Zhang Xiaoche said he has a very-”
Zhang Che almost wanted to kneel down. In his desperation, he jumped into Huang Tielan’s embrace and rubbed his face on her chest. At the same time, his hands were placed on an unspeakable location.
“Ah! Zhang Xiaoche, you’re looking to die!” Huang Tielan shrieked. As she struggled, she explained to Huang Juyun, “Nothing, nothing. I was just messing around with Zhang Xiaoche. That’s all; I’m hanging up, dad!”
Hearing Huang Tielan ending the call, Zhang Che immediately let go of her, showing a fawning look.
“Zhang Xiaoche, you’re looking to die…” Huang Tielan’s face blushed bright red, glaring at him.
The crisis was finally averted. Zhang Che didn’t dare to continue provoking Miss Tienan and started looking for material for his custom bow with her.
If he wanted good materials, of course it’d be easier to find what he wanted in the larger shops. Their reputation for business was guaranteed, too.
