"It's all your fault! You started this ss!"
Han Zihan gritted her teeth.
"You said Xia Liang is just a poor worker, looking down on him!"
"I bought you an 8-point bag, and now you turn your back on just like that?"
Yang Zhiyuan was furious, throwing the bag on the table at Han Zihan.
Han Zihan, both annoyed and ashad,
"Who wants your stuff? Take it back!"
She threw it back at Yang Zhiyuan.
The scheming woman and Bootlicker No. 11 instantly turned on each other, a dog-eat-dog fight breaking out.
I'm outta here.
People around stood up, shafacedly cupping their hands to Xia Liang.
"Xia Liang, sorry for tonight."
"We're wrong, Master Xia, please forgive us."
Xia Liang gave Li Xuelei a look and stood up.
"Alright, let's call it a night. Han Zihan, Yang Zhiyuan, stop fighting, you'll have to pay if you break sothing."
After saying this, Xia Liang turned his head and left.
Han Zihan, drenched in oil and soup thrown by Yang Zhiyuan, with her hair disheveled and in a sorry state, chased after him.
"Xia Liang! Xia Liang! Don't leave, I really detest people like Yang Zhiyuan! I want to toast to you."
She gazed at Xia Liang with deep emotion.
Looking at this "goddess" who could perform as "Sadako," Xia Liang was so scared goosebumps covered his skin!
"No way, I have to attend a eting with Niu, haha."
Xia Liang pointed at Niu Zhengwu.
Niu Zhengwu imdiately understood and said solemnly,
"Yes, Mr. Ye, we have a board eting in 5 minutes to elect you as the new chairman! The eting is very important!"
Xia Liang quickly made his escape.
"I'm off, bye-bye!"
I'm outta here.
Han Zihan's eyes lit up, a face of admiration.
"Xia Liang, are you going to be the hotel chairman? Wow! So handso! I'll wait for you, hubby."
Yang Zhiyuan shouted angrily,
"You bitch! I spent so much money on you, I $$%!#!"
The Bootlicker and green tea(bitch) started tearing at each other again.
Li Xuelei sighed, shook his head, and left.
"What's the point? It's embarrassing!"
Xia Liang and Li Xuelei agreed to et again before the new year and drove off.
On the way, Xia Liang received a call from a relative.
It was from a distant relative whom he usually didn't interact with much.
Xia Liang remained calm, coming as he pleased.
"Aunt Zhang?"
Xia Liang answered the call.
"What's up?"
Distant Aunt Zhang was quite enthusiastic.
"Xia Liang, you're back?"
"Hmm."
"I'm waiting at your house; your second aunt needs to see you."
Xia Liang nodded without explaining anything.
"Okay."
Xia Liang drove ho and opened the door to enter.
His second aunt and her husband, along with a bear child were playing at Xia Liang's house.
The bear child was Xia Liang's cousin.
He saw a Naruto action figure without greeting Xia Liang and reached out to grab it.
Xia Liang frowned, feeling annoyed since, even if they were distant relatives, it was rude to take without asking.
If the kid had been more polite, Xia Liang might have let him play, but under these circumstances, Xia Liang simply said,
"Stop!"
The bear child saw Xia Liang not allowing him to play, and burst into tears.
Throwing a tantrum, rolling around the floor.
"I want to play, I want to play! I will play!"
This bear child was practically a destructive force; wherever he went, he destroyed things. Xia Liang had spent quite a bit on this action figure; how could he let it fall into his hands?
"Don't touch it!"
Xia Liang ordered harshly.
"This isn't your ho, stay put over there."
"Oh, look at your toughness."
Distant Aunt Zhang was displeased.
"That's your younger cousin; he's just a kid. Why not just let him have it?"
Xia Liang spoke earnestly,
"If you don't treat him like a human when he's young, don't bla him if he doesn't grow up to be one!"
"That was a quote from Lu Xun."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang put her hands on her hips,
"Isn't it just a toy? How old are you? Still playing with toys? What's wrong with letting my son play with it?"
Hearing this, Xia Liang chuckled.
"Sure! Cousin, I can lend it to you!"
The little chubby troublemaker with a face full of fat lifted up excitedly.
"Really? Quick, hand it over!"
Xia Liang clenched his fist with a sneaky smile.
"But the condition is — I'm your elder, how about you let play with you for a bit?"
The chubby kid burst into a cry of fear!
Aunt Zhang got furious instantly.
"Xia Liang! You're his older brother, how can you scare your cousin like that? Doesn't what Aunt Zhang says matter?"
Xia Liang frowned.
"Second Aunt? When it cos to this kid, I'm the elder, isn't it? He should listen to ! For you, I'm the junior, isn't it? You should be accommodating to . So, in this house, what I say should be what counts, right?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang was stunned but couldn't find anything to say montarily.
She imdiately started making veiled jabs at Xia Liang,
"Oh my, you've beco so full of eloquence now, how much do you make a month?"
"Three thousand!"
"Three thousand is not much, still less than a deliveryman, all these years, studying so hard? Wasted effort?"
Aunt Zhang said with a fake smile.
"Seems studying doesn't have much use, huh?"
Xia Liang didn't rebut.
"What grade is your son in?"
"He's in elentary school."
Aunt Zhang answered.
"He should drop out imdiately! Go sweep the streets then."
Xia Liang said calmly.
"As you said, schooling is pointless, isn't it? What's the use of going to school? He might as well drop out early and start working at ho."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Zhang couldn't care less and shouted with hands on her hips,
"How dare you educate ? I've consud more salt than you've eaten rice!"
Xia Liang feigned realization.
"No wonder you're so salty (idle)."
He then casually brought out two bags of salt from the kitchen.
"Aunt Zhang, here are two bags of salt. Take your ti eating them on your way, I won't keep you for a al."
Seeing Xia Liang's deanor, Aunt Zhang was quite angry but rembering her purpose for the day, she held her anger in.
She switched to a smiling face, beaming.
"Xia Liang, co, take a look at this!"
She pulled out an exam paper, speaking in a huff.
"Look, this is your cousin's exam score! Only scored over 40 in math! Compared to you back then, it's night and day."
Xia Liang frowned, anticipation rising.
Sure enough, think of sothing, and it cos.
Distant Aunt Zhang smiled kindly and approached Xia Liang,
"Xia Liang, you're on break and at ho for a few days anyway, why not tutor your cousin a bit? You were such a good student, even teaching him a little would make a big difference!"
Xia Liang rolled his eyes.
Had he known this, he wouldn't have co!
There's a certain type of relative, one who's always asking for help.
The relationship isn't close, the kinship isn't strong, yet they act overly familiar.
It's always related to your expertise.
If you're a teacher, they'll surely ask you to tutor the kids, especially in English.
If you're in IT, they'll ask you to fix computers or TVs.
Even those in psychology aren't spared — How about reading my son's fortune?
They show concern but it's all for their benefit, eager to get sothing for nothing.
Xia Liang rubbed his nose.
He's not against tutoring, but for what reason should he comply with this?
For people like this, Xia Liang didn't hold back; he said what needed to be said bluntly.
