Chapter 377: Chapter 377: What Happened?
“You put up a good show, didn’t you? Co, let’s drink to your impressive performance!” Zhou Dong raised his glass and said.
“We can drink, but let’s be clear, I wasn’t showing off! Opening a branch is no big deal!” Wu Xiaoyu downed his drink in one gulp.
After finishing their drinks, both were slightly tipsy. Wu Xiaoyu helped Zhou Dong to the sofa.
“We’re going to open a branch… going to open a branch…” Zhou Dong waved his hands excitedly and mumbled.
Seeing that Zhou Dong was quite drunk, Wu Xiaoyu had no choice but to go along with him and said, “Yes, we’re opening a branch! Can you calm down?”
Amidst their ruckus, the waitress Xiaoyu walked in again and handed Wu Xiaoyu a hot towel, shyly saying, “Mr. Wu, please wipe your face!”
Saying that, she walked away with her head down, silently cleaning up the leftover food on the table.
Even though Zhou Dong was about six or seven points drunk, he noticed everything and shouted at Xiaoyu:
“Xiaoyu… Xiaoyu… why does only Wu Xiaoyu get a towel, where’s mine? Are you interested in Wu Xiaoyu?”
Hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu’s face showed slight embarrassnt, and he glared at Zhou Dong angrily, thinking, goddammit! Even if you’re drunk, you can’t just say whatever!
The bustling Xiaoyu, startled, knocked a wine glass to the floor.
The crisp sound excited Zhou Dong even more, and he suddenly got up, ready to dash towards Xiaoyu.
Fearing that Zhou Dong would cause trouble in his drunken state, Wu Xiaoyu quickly restrained him and instructed Xiaoyu, “Xiaoyu, you go handle your tasks, don’t worry about this!”
Xiaoyu glanced at Wu Xiaoyu and then hurriedly fled. Zhou Dong took the chance to tease, “Xiaoyu, Mr. Wu still doesn’t have a girlfriend?”
After Xiaoyu left, Zhou Dong gently patted Wu Xiaoyu on the shoulder, seriously saying, “Brother, can you let go? This hurts quite a bit!”
Damn? What is this? Are you really drunk or not? Wu Xiaoyu let go and saw Zhou Dong stagger slightly as he sat down.
“Xiaoyu, let tell you, many of our waitresses have a crush on you, why don’t you pick one?” Zhou Dong teased.
“Don’t be shy, ever since you stood up for Xiaoyu and taught Niu Zhigang a lesson, several of the waitresses have been smitten with you!” Zhou Dong laughed.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiaoyu wasn’t even a bit pleased; instead, he smiled wryly, heaven! Why am I plagued by love affairs like this?
First, I accidentally saw Mu Feiyan naked, then I was fancied by two robust Inner Sect people, then a granny wanted to marry off, and now Zhou Dong is trying to play matchmaker?
Faced with Zhou Dong’s rambling, Wu Xiaoyu did not dare to hit or scold him, so he turned on the TV, letting Zhou Dong compete with the TV’s volu.
By around ten o’clock at night, most of the custors had left. Wu Xiaoyu then helped Zhou Dong downstairs and dumped him in the dormitory.
After settling Zhou Dong, Wu Xiaoyu went back to the private room on the second floor, tidied up briefly, and lay on the sofa to sleep.
The nights in Longhe Town are later than in Anping Village, but dawn also cos earlier than in Daxin Village. By around five in the morning, there were already bustling noises in the town.
Woken by the street calls, Wu Xiaoyu went downstairs to find the waiters already cleaning, getting ready for business.
Seeing that little Li, who was tasked with delivering goods to Daxin Village, had not left yet, Wu Xiaoyu decided to hitch a ride back to Andaxin Village.
After waiting in the lobby for over ten minutes, little Li hurriedly ran out, apologizing, “Mr. Wu, I didn’t know you got up this early…”
Wu Xiaoyu glanced at the clock; it was only five-thirty. Little Li had a valid reason for getting up late as he was responsible for transporting goods.
“It’s okay! I just woke up too. Are you ready? When can we leave?” Wu Xiaoyu asked kindly.
Seeing that Wu Xiaoyu looked calm and not upset, little Li took a relieved sigh and quickly responded, “Ready… ready… we can go now!”
The two walked out of Jiji, turned a corner, and got into the Wuling God Car parked by the kitchen door.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Wu Xiaoyu watched little Li’s driving moves and asked, “Little Li, is it easy to learn to drive?”
“Mr. Wu, do you want to learn to drive? I can teach you! Otherwise, if you go to the driving school, the instructors will curse you to death!” Little Li laughed.
Wu Xiaoyu had already heard about the rude behavior of driving school instructors, but hearing it from little Li still made him sowhat curious.
Running a driving school should be no different from running a restaurant, right? How could they treat their custors so harshly?
“Sure! Teach when you have ti, so I won’t get scolded by the driving instructors!” Wu Xiaoyu joked.
Little Li responded excitedly, “No problem! Whenever you’re available, just call …”
As they chatted, they arrived at Daxin Village. It was still chilly in the mountain village at around six in the morning.
On the mountain paths, between the fields, and in the alleyways, there were only so sixty-year-old people walking for exercise.
When the villagers saw Wu Xiaoyu riding into the village, they teased, “Xiaoyu, what have you been up to? Riding back in soone else’s car?”
Although the elderly person wasn’t from the Wu family, they were still an elder in the village, so Wu Xiaoyu didn’t want to offend them and made so vague replies.
To avoid their endless questioning, as soon as the Wuling God Car entered the village center, Wu Xiaoyu quickly got off and walked ho.
When he arrived ho, his mother was already cooking, and his father was sharpening his butcher knives in the yard.
“Dad, Mom, I’m back!” Wu Xiaoyu shouted.
Seeing his son return, Wu Youliang put away his tools and walked over, concerned, “Is everything okay?”
“What could be wrong? I just helped soone with a small favor!” Wu Xiaoyu replied vaguely.
Wu Youliang’s wife, Wang Aifeng, hearing their voices, also ca out from the kitchen, scolding, “You rascal, why didn’t you co ho last night?”
Saying that, she glanced him over and, seeing him intact, asked, “So, how much did they pay you for treating soone in the city?”
Before Wu Xiaoyu could respond, Wu Youliang rebuked, “Money… money… all you think about is money! You’re as greedy as a snake trying to swallow an elephant!”
Wang Aifeng frowned and went back to the kitchen, while Wu Xiaoyu followed his father to the main hall.
“You should stop running around so much!” Wu Youliang sat down and leaned his butcher knives against the bench, pretending to be casual.
Knowing his father was worried he might get into trouble outside, Wu Xiaoyu comforted him, “Dad! I’m just helping people with dical issues, I won’t cause any trouble!”
“By the way! I might have to go to the city once a week from now on. The old gentleman’s illness is a bit complicated and will take so ti to treat!”
