Chapter 148 Killing Like Rooting Grass (1/2)

It was already dark when they came out of Nine Heavens. A car pulled over and out from it came the driver. ”Mr. Xiao, Master Hou said I should give you a ride,” said the driver with great respect.

”Good.” Xiao Bing did not refuse the offer. Then he sat in the back seat with Dumbass.

Xiao Bing did not say a word along the way since the driver was a stranger to them. Xiao Bing only spoke when he got out of the car and watched it leave. ”Dumbass, what did you play in that place?”

Dumbass instantly flushed and scratched his head while smiling stupidly. ”Women.”

”Damn.” Xiao Bing grinned. ”What a lucky boy you are. But remember, you can't be obsessed with the women there unless you meet one with whom you can spend your life.”

”I know,” said Dumbass sternly. ”My mother told me that I can secretly watch girls having a shower, but I mustn't be addicted to it. A beauty can turn into a femme fatale if the man is too obsessed with her.”

Xiao Bing sighed. ”I'm truly curious about your mother and I want to meet her. The words she told you might be vulgar, but few people can perceive the truth hidden in them.”

Dumbass sighed. ”But she's dead.”

”It's okay as long as you remember what she told you. Come on, I haven't been to the noodle house in several days. Let's go there before you head back.”

The noodle house was already open. Xiao Bing was occupied lately but the noodle house had long been ready for business. It was not appropriate for them to delay the opening, so they had to open it before Xiao Bing could get there. And Li Chunlan, Su Xiaoxiao's mother, happened to leave the hospital and she helped running the business there in the first two days. But she didn't come in on the third day because she had just recovered. She felt tired because of working and decided to rest at home.

There were few guests in the noodle house and it was about to close. Several customers were chatting while drinking beer. The staff of the noodle house were having their meals at a table while talking to each other. Upon seeing Xiao Bing return, the twittering Maggie shouted first, ”Brother Bing is back, Brother Bing is back.”

Maggie merely seemed to be a sweet girl of 13, if one did not know what she was really capable of.

Xiao Bing grinned. ”It seems that you're really excited by my return?”

”You are not thinking that I fell in love with you, right, uncle?”

Xiao Bing laughed out loud. ”Of course not, I'm old enough to be your uncle.”

Laughter fell over the party when they heard Xiao Bing cooperating with Maggie to make a joke.

Su Xiaoxiao was talking to others before Xiao Bing arrived. But she snorted after she saw him. ”Maggie, don’t mess with this intriguing man. You might share your bed with him before you even know it.”

Maggie opened her eyes wide and pretended to be solemn, which made her seem very cute. ”Xiaoxiao, how can you directly address your teacher's name?”

The beautiful and aloof Su Xiaoxiao smiled with embarrassment. ”I'm sorry, Sensei Maggie.”

”That's more like it,” said Maggie triumphantly.

The others laughed out loud again. It was not until then that Xiao Bing recalled that he had hired Maggie to be Su Xiaoxiao's tutor. Though she was only 13, the knowledge she had acquired was more than that of some ordinary college graduates. Moreover, this girl had a highly retentive memory. Back then, she was bored and wanted something to do. Xiao Bing thought that since Su Xiaoxiao's study was always delayed. So why didn't he ask Maggie to help Su Xiaoxiao with her studies. It seemed that two got along very well.

Zhang Jing fetched two chairs for Xiao Bing and Dumbass. Li Hong grinned after Xiao Bing had seated himself. ”Brother Bing, Maggie has become our bringer-of-joy now. We are so happy with her being here every day.”

”Really?” Xiao Bing grinned. ”I did not expect that she was capable of that.”

”I'm smart and cute. No one dislikes a girl like me. It's just that you don't know. And in addition to that, I have been balancing the books because the others are just too slow. Alas, I'm a tutor and an accountant who takes no payment. How tired I must be.”

Maggie was a cute girl who was bad at pretending to be an adult. Xiao Bing could not help laughing. ”Then I truly should thank you.”

”That's more like it. You need to buy me dinner to show me your gratitude.”

Xiao Bing rubbed her head and then he looked around and found Wang Guifang, Zhang Jing, Li Hong, Maggie, Jiang Susu, the new waitress, and Li Shun Guai, the new cook. Maggie was sitting on his left side, Dumbass his right. And Jiang Susu was sitting opposite.

”Where's Gao Fei?” asked Xiao Bing.

”He went out with Lil Bei,” replied Wang Guifang, smiling.

Xiao Bing blurted out, ”They're dating?”

The group laughed again.

Then, the two they just mentioned walked in. Lil Bei fetched himself a chair and sat behind Xiao Bing silently. And Gao Fei sat next to Maggie.

The last few guests left their table and paid for their food. One of them spoke to them while smiling. ”It seems that you guys are about to have a meeting. We should probably go.”

Maggie directly jumped onto a chair and shouted, ”You are always welcome in this noodle house.”

The guests laughed and waved their hands. ”We will definitely come here again.”

This cute girl would definitely be a rare beauty when she grew up. One could make that prediction by how she looked now. She was like an Asian version of Barbie.

”Damn, why would such a thing happen to us in the north. We should ask the second master to teach this god-damned bastard a lesson after he returns from the hospital...”

Three sturdy men in black walked in while murmuring curses. The one who was speaking suddenly paused when seeing Xiao Bing. The other two were confused. ”What's wrong, boss?” But then he asked for noodles.
