"Yeah! If Liu Tianji hadn’t brought people to stall for ti, by the ti little Cang Cang arrived, we might have already been bullied."
Liu ngting also appreciated Liu Tianji and agreed, "It’s good to have more friends and more paths to take. Since he helped us so much, you should properly repay him when you get the chance."
"How does that make sense? If they did you a favor, why should I be the one to repay them?"
Tang Ming swallowed his food and complained, "If you really want to repay him, you could offer yourselves in marriage. Why should I make the effort?"
"Tang Ming, we’re being serious with you, don’t be so unreasonable."
Hearing this, Liu ngting got quite annoyed.
"Oh co on, Tang Ming brother is just joking. Even if he were willing to let and Sister ng ng offer ourselves in marriage, he definitely wouldn’t let Wei’er do the sa."
Li Xiaoli laughed, knowing Tang Ming was joking.
"That’s not necessarily true."
Xia Wei’er pouted, speaking sourly, "Right now, he’s the dual fiancé of Miss Li Wenxuan and Miss Su Xiaoxi, so why would he care about ?"
"Cough, cough."
Upon hearing this, Tang Ming imdiately coughed, quickly looking at Xia Wei’er, "Wei’er, don’t say things like that. You all know that Li Wenxuan and Su Xiaoxi hired as a shield for money; there’s absolutely nothing between us."
"Alright, alright, I was just joking. Look how worked up you are."
Seeing that Tang Ming was explaining himself to her, Xia Wei’er imdiately smiled, feeling very sweet inside.
Liu ngting and Li Xiaoli felt displeased, as Tang Ming always treated them with indifference or troubleso behavior, yet he took Xia Wei’er so seriously, which was infuriating.
"Listening to you guys, Liu Tianji does sound like a decent person."
As he put more food into the pot, Tang Ming nodded approvingly, "It might be worth making friends with him. Chen Cang!"
"Right here."
Chen Cang, who had been painting his nails, quickly looked at Tang Ming.
"You don’t have any underlings yet. When you have ti, go et that Liu Tianji and ask if he’s willing to be your underling. You’ll take care of him from now on."
Tang Ming instructed with a smile.
"Sure! Zhou Dafu now has underlings; I should also find so decent ones for myself."
Chen Cang nodded repeatedly, recalling how he used to look up to the young masters of the Songlan City business families compared to those from the provincial business families, because they weren’t on the sa level. He never imagined that he’d have the chance to take soone like Liu Tianji as his underling; it felt like a dream.
The group wasn’t worried at all about Liu Tianji refusing. Although he would be Chen Cang’s underling, they considered the strength of Tang Ming’s underlings—figures like Chu Batian, Xin Badao, Chen Cang, all renowned. Being an underling’s underling for Tang Ming would definitely be a stroke of luck for him.
Just then, Tang Ming’s phone suddenly rang.
"Hello, have you all finished eating?"
After answering the call, Tang Ming casually asked.
"Poison Boss, we’re done eating. Old Master Su even gave us a bottle of long-cherished Moutai."
Xin Badao’s response ca out slurred, as he asked eagerly, "Where are you now? Let’s finish off this good bottle of wine together."
"We’re at the Little Lotus Pond Hotpot near Orange Light Mall, on the first floor lobby. Just co straight over."
Tang Ming laughed, it seed that the Sect Master of the Poison Sect was very pleased with the al, his tongue had even gotten tipsy.
"Okay, we’re heading there now... Driver, take us straight to Little Lotus Pond."
Xin Badao responded with a grunt before hanging up the phone.
"Grandpa Chu is coming too?"
Xia Wei’er looked at Tang Ming with hopeful eyes as she asked. She knew that Chu Batian had been protecting her from the shadows lately, but she seldom had the chance to et him and express her gratitude. The fact that she had no opportunity to do so caused Xia Wei’er so regret. This ti, she could finally et him.
"Yeah, they should be arriving soon, let’s keep eating."
Tang Ming nodded and shouted loudly, "Waiter, add another ten portions of tripe."
"Let’s eat, let’s eat. I’m hungry too after walking around all day."
Li Xiaoli also started eating. While discussing the day’s events, the group tucked into the hot pot heartily - it was the perfect al for the cold weather.
Not long after, two figures walked in. One of them, a guy with a swollen red face, pointed towards the table where Tang Ming and the others were sitting and yelled, "Family Head, it’s them over there. It seems there is one more person, but the dead person’s apparition that injured the young master and is still there."
"It doesn’t matter if there are a few more."
Qi Liu Hai walked over expressionlessly and asked coldly, "Are you the ones who injured my son?"
"Hey, who are you?"
Chen Cang was the first to look up and said in a strange voice, "Who’s your son? You co up here asking such questions out of the blue, how would I know what you’re talking about?"
"My na is Qi Liu Hai, and I am the Family Head of the Qi Family, a Martial Arts Family from the provincial city."
Qi Liu Hai introduced himself with an air of arrogance, "Qi Bikou is my son."
"The father of Qi Bikou."
Upon hearing this, the three won quickly stood up and hid behind Tang Ming.
Li Xiaoli looked at Qi Liu Hai with a peculiar expression and shouted, "Does your family always pick such funny nas? Your son is called Qi forced trousers and you’re Qi Liu Hai, so wouldn’t your grandpa be umbilical cord?"
Although soone had co looking for trouble, with Tang Ming and Chen Cang present, the three won weren’t worried at all. As long as they stayed behind Tang Ming, they wouldn’t be scared even if the sky were to fall.
"Presumptuous, indeed a sharp-tongued girl."
Qi Liu Hai cursed angrily with murderous intent, "You three were won my son took a fancy to. After I take care of this person’s apparition who injured my son, I’ll capture you and take you back to be his wives. If he can’t recover for the rest of his life, then you will all keep widowed, or I’ll personally take action, and have you bear children to continue my Qi Family lineage."
"Shaless, to actually say such things, your Qi Family really is full of scoundrels!"
Li Xiaoli cursed disdainfully.
"You stinking girl, keep yapping. Tonight, I’ll make sure you can’t find north."
Qi Liu Hai was extrely irritated by Li Xiaoli’s mouth, vowing in his heart. Since his son was now crippled, he would have to personally take action and use these three beauties to have more sons - the Qi Family line could not end here.
"Want to bully my sisters? Did you ask your Sister Cang?"
Chen Cang slamd the table and slowly stood up.
"Who is Sister Cang?"
Qi Liu Hai paused, looking at Chen Cang with confusion.
"I am your Sister Cang."
Chen Cang pointed at herself and turned to Uncle Qiu, "Old thing, I didn’t slap you dead last ti, and now you dare to bring people to make trouble? It seems I really shouldn’t have shown any rcy."
"Cough cough..."
Uncle Qiu shrank his neck, but rembering Qi Liu Hai was by his side, he quickly puffed out his chest and roared arrogantly, "Dead apparition, don’t be arrogant. Our Family Head is a genuine Four-star Martial Master, crushing you would be as easy as playing."
