Chapter 367 : Green Plum Meets Wine 18 (2/2)

But Yu Xingyun’s return meant that the Yu Family would take a sizeable slice of the pie.

The Yu Family’s influence could not be looked down upon. The only reason Long Run knew Gu Yan’s name was because the latter had seemed close to Yu Xingyun in the past year, and as a result had caught the attention of the Long Family.

Otherwise, would Long Run even deign to look at the boss of such a small real estate company like Gu Yan?

……

“So, Uncle Gu, you gotta hold on tight to Uncle Yu’s big thigh.” Shi Sheng patted Gu Yan’s shoulder. “Our livelihoods are at stake!”

Shi Sheng had given Gu Yan a rough explanation of what happened just now, and naturally wouldn’t leave out the part where she offended Long Run.

In the original plot, the FL had initially received help from Long Run. However, she later found out that he was actually selfish and very ambitious.

They didn’t go so far as to end up becoming enemies, but the FL never had any dealings with him again. Meanwhile, when the other members of the Long Family persistently courted death, the FL taught them a very severe lesson. The only reason she didn’t end them was because Long Run had once helped her.

Would this kind of person have any good intentions when he approached Shi Sheng? Of course not!

Yu Xingyun burst out laughing at Shi Sheng’s words. “With your Uncle Yu here, the Long Family wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on you! I respectfully called him Mr Long on account of his status as an elder, but I hadn’t expected him to set his sights on Xiaoxia! Does he really think I’m a vegetarian?!”

“Uncle Yu’s the big thigh; Uncle Gu, you gotta hold on tight!” Shi Sheng reminded Gu Yan.

“My thigh’s thick and long enough for you to hug.” Yu Jiu interrupted.

Shi Sheng eyed up his legs. They were the epitome of smooth and straight.

“Xiaoxia-meimei, why don’t you consider my offer?” ‘I’m enough for you to play with for a lifetime~’

“Well, we two old fogeys are gonna leave first. Xiaojiu, here are the keys; go send Xiaoxia home.” Gu Yan was quick to catch on as he handed the keys to Yu Jiu.

“Thank you, Uncle Gu.”

“Aye, help me take care of her.”

Shi Sheng, “…” ‘Shady deals going on here…’

Gu Yan and Yu Xingyun left together, leaving Shi Sheng behind with Yu Jiu. He dangled the keys in front of her. “Xiaoxia-meimei, shall we go home?”

‘Go home your head.’

Shi Sheng waited outside the venue of the event for a bit. Yu Jiu didn’t know what she was waiting for.

After roughly about half an hour, she turned and walked towards a telephone booth.

When they reached the phone, Shi Sheng suddenly turned to ask him. “Got any change?”

Yu Jiu shook his head. Why on earth would he keep change on him?

“Wait for me here.” Yu Jiu rubbed her head before jogging off to a store in the distance.

Shi Sheng’s brows were tightly knit as she stared at his back. She decided to speed up her plan.

Yu Jiu soon returned and handed her a few coins.

Shi Sheng inserted them into the payphone and dialled 110[3].

Yu Jiu, “…” ‘What’s lil green plum doing?’

Shi Sheng told the police that there were people with guns planning a robbery at the venue of the event before hanging up.

During this period of time, the law was enforced very strictly. Hence, having received a tip-off about illegal possession of firearms, even if it was a false one, they’d still send people over.

“Xiaoxia-meimei, you’re very bad ah!” Yu Jiu leaned on Shi Sheng, forcing her back against the telephone booth, as he stared down at her.

“But I like it.”

Shi Sheng aimed a kick over. ‘This idiot!’

“Xiaoxia-meimei, if you’re this violent, you won’t be able to marry anyone else but me, y’know?”

“Scram!”

“Onto the bed[4]?”

“…”

[1] Shi Sheng’s phrasing here…makes it sound like the guy didn’t want to pay for watching a strip show…

[2] This is a saying that describes the myth where a carp can turn into a dragon if it leaps past the legendary dragon’s gate. It’s used as an idiom in this context to mean a sudden transformation/elevation in status.

[3] For Americans, it’s 911. The police, basically.

[4] The ‘scram’ from before literally translates to ‘roll’. So he’s saying, roll onto the bed?
