Chapter 129: Chapter 129 Thank You for Your Patronage
Patted his chest and made a promise, Ban Cunqiang walked back, sat down, and casually called out, “Sis, bring out the dishes!”
He then pushed Li Cai’s matter to the back of his mind.
Ban Cunqiang’s attitude almost infuriated Zhao Xiaogui, but Xia Chuyi remained unusually calm.
She had Zhao Xiaogui deliver the cut dishes while she herself went to the back kitchen. There, she discreetly took out a special clay pot from a hidden space, opened it, poured two bowls of wine, and brought them out.
“Co on, eat, eat, eat!” As soon as the wine and dishes were served, Ban Cunqiang picked up his chopsticks and started eating.
Xia Chuyi continued to do business at the counter.
Because of Ban Cunqiang’s presence, so people saw him, scorned him from afar, and left without even buying the braised dishes.
Seeing the business being affected made Zhao Xiaogui even angrier, and he was held back by Xia Chuyi several tis; otherwise, he would have sought out people to argue with much earlier.
Especially Xia Chengzong—Cousin Zhao deeply resented him in his heart.
“Hmph, those Xia Family people, always bullying the girls in their house!” he muttered under his breath.
Xia Chuyi just shook her head, amused.
It’s different; it’s different.
Xia Chengzong, indeed, was the real good-for-nothing of the Xia Family, yet unexpectedly, he was the only one among those people who still had a bit of a spine.
Last ti, when she was locked in the Xia Family’s house, calling for help but getting no response, it was Xia Chengzong who quietly let her go.
“You can leave, don’t co back,” Xia Chengzong didn’t talk much, but he had given her so money to help her escape.
After that, she never returned to her hotown. At a casual gathering, she heard that Xia Chengzong had taken the bla for soone else and was executed.
She had no feelings for the Xia Family, but to repay kindness was her principle.
If he could still be saved, it was best to realize his errors early; if he was stubborn, then she would at least try her best to help him avoid the tragedy of execution.
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Ban Cunqiang stood up, satisfied, and said, “Sis, your food and drink really do taste good! As long as you keep this up, I, Brother Qiang, will cover your place! If anyone troubles you again, just ntion my na, Brother Qiang!”
This was his plan to eat for free for a long ti.
Xia Chuyi smiled and said nothing.
Ban Cunqiang took her silence as an agreent, and then, with a toothpick in his mouth and his belly sticking out, he left the restaurant.
Xia Chengzong, behind him, glanced at Xia Chuyi, about to follow.
“Second Brother!” she called out.
Xia Chengzong frowned, not knowing why she was calling him.
Xia Chuyi was completely calm.
“Second Brother, stay, I have sothing to discuss with you,” Xia Chuyi hinted at him.
Perhaps because he was very satisfied with his al there, Ban Cunqiang patted Xia Chengzong on the shoulder and said, “Then you siblings catch up, I’ll head back first.”
In an incredibly generous and understanding manner.
With Ban Cunqiang gone, Xia Chengzong turned to her and asked, “What do you want?”
His tone was very stiff, not pleasant at all.
Zhao Xiaogui blocked him, “Xia Chengzong, speak politely!”
Xia Chengzong huffed disdainfully at Zhao Xiaogui—after all, he was still just a lad.
“What is it, hurry up and say!” Xia Chengzong beca even more displeased.
Knowing his story, she wasn’t afraid of him at all. She calmly said, “Consider the wine on . Two plates of braised dishes for one yuan, I’ll give you a discount, one yuan.”
“What did you say?” Xia Chengzong dug his ear, sowhat incredulous.
“I said, one yuan total, thanks for your patronage,” Xia Chuyi was even calr.
Xia Chengzong finally reacted, his eyes bulging: “Are you asking for money?”
“Paying for als is only natural, or—do you plan to dine and dash?” she looked at him with contempt.
Xia Chengzong: “…”
Zhao Xiaogui… scratched his head, confused.
