413: Chapter 413: Not Refusing Kindness 413: Chapter 413: Not Refusing Kindness And standing at the door, Zhou ifeng’s mother glimpsed Luo Baoyan’s figure and heard his loud voice, a flash of disgust quickly crossing her eyes.
“Qiuju, you’re at the door, answering my question, have you seen a Humr?
If I’m not mistaken, that Humr drove in this direction toward your house.”
Approaching Zhou ifeng’s doorstep, Luo Baoyan saw Tang Qiujie standing at the entrance, his eyes lit up, and he said to her.
Hunchbacked, Zhou ifeng’s mother—that is, Tang Qiujie—stared blankly at Luo Baoyan and shook her head: “What Humr?
I haven’t seen any.”
Luo Baoyan, hearing Tang Qiujie’s indifferent reply, couldn’t hide a flash of dissatisfaction in his eyes.
Turning his head, he suddenly noticed two unfamiliar figures standing at the Zhou residence, one of which, a woman, clad in a form-fitting jumpsuit that accentuated her exquisite figure to perfection, was quite stunning, making Luo Baoyan drool.
And beside this woman stood a young man, tall, handso, and looking imposing.
“Humph, what would an old village woman like you know.”
Luo Baoyan sneered disdainfully and turned to Xiao Yifei: “Kid, did you see a Humr driving by here?”
“A Humr?”
Hearing Luo Baoyan’s words, Xiao Yifei seed puzzled as he shook his head and said, “I haven’t seen any Humr drive by.”
After Xiao Yifei spoke, Luo Baoyan nodded and without so much as a thank you, he walked past the Zhou’s front door with his head held high, turning back only to give Zhou ifeng a lascivious glance.
“What are you eyeballing!
Think you’re so smart, do you!”
Wang Guihua, behind Luo Baoyan, gave him a fierce slap on the back of his head.
The slap made Luo Baoyan shrink his neck, muttering under his breath without daring to raise his voice.
The two continued on their way, and Wang Guihua also turned her head back, looking puzzled at Xiao Yifei and the others: “Where did these people co from?
That beautiful woman looks familiar, but why can’t I rember where I’ve seen her before?
And who is this handso young man, and what are they doing at Zhou Jun’s house?
His family is so poor.”
Wang Guihua mumbled to herself, but soon she turned her head back around and followed Luo Baoyan in search of the ‘Humr’, unwilling to pass up any opportunity for advantage.
“Mom, are Luo Baoyan and his lot still the sa?”
Watching Luo Baoyan and Wang Guihua slowly move out of sight, Zhou ifeng turned her head and asked Tang Qiujie, looking a bit unhappy.
“Ah, we all live in the sa village, and he’s the Village Chief, there’s nothing we can do about it.”
Tang Qiujie shook her head and sighed softly, it’s just that we’re too poor, which is why we always get bullied.
“Mom, don’t worry.
Haven’t you always told , good and evil will be repaid?
Such people will sooner or later get their retribution!”
Zhou ifeng stared in the direction Luo Baoyan and his group had left, a hint of hatred flickering in her eyes.
Xiao Yifei, hearing the conversation between Zhou ifeng and her mother, turned his head, looking at Zhou ifeng with confusion, not understanding what was going on.
“It’s nothing.”
Zhou ifeng smiled gently at Xiao Yifei, skillfully concealing the hatred she had shown just monts before.
Since Zhou ifeng wasn’t talking about it, Xiao Yifei didn’t pry any further.
“Let’s go, let’s head back.”
Feeling everything was settled, Tang Qiujie began to usher Xiao Yifei back to the house: “Mr.
Xiao, you’ve co so far this ti, I must hospitably entertain you!”
“Fengfeng, go back to the room first and take out three hundred yuan from the big box under the bed.
It’s still early, go to the town and buy a chicken and so beef.
We should treat Mr.
Xiao properly.”
Tang Qiujie busied herself preparing things for Xiao Yifei while issuing instructions to Zhou ifeng.
Upon hearing Tang Qiujie’s words, Zhou ifeng responded and was about to return to the house.
“Auntie, there’s no need for such formalities.
I ca in such a hurry that I didn’t prepare anything for you.
There’s no need for you to be so courteous.
I’ll drive Zhou ifeng to the town in a bit.
Whatever you need, I’ll buy it for you,”
Xiao Yifei said to Zhou ifeng with a smile.
“Mr.
Xiao!
You are a guest, how can we let you spend money…”
Tang Qiujie looked at Xiao Yifei earnestly and was about to continue when an unceremonious voice interrupted her.
“I want to know!
Whose car is that one behind?
Who parked it there?”
For so reason, Luo Baoyan and Wang Guihua had circled back, and at this mont, Luo Baoyan was staring at Xiao Yifei and his two companions with a sour expression.
“The car’s mine, what’s the issue?”
Xiao Yifei frowned, puzzled by Luo Baoyan’s abrupt return and his impolite tone.
“Hmph!
It’s yours, is it!
When I just asked who saw a Humr drive by, why did you say you didn’t see it?
You just arrived in our village and you’re already being dishonest, tell , what are your intentions here in our village!”
Luo Baoyan raised an eyebrow, squinting as he questioned Xiao Yifei.
Wang Guihua chid in with an eerie tone by his side, “Exactly, what are you doing in our village!
And lying too, heading to Zhou Jun’s place.
Everyone in Baiyang Village knows the Zhou family is the poorest.
What’s your purpose visiting their ho!”
As Xiao Yifei listened to the couple’s back-and-forth, he slightly frowned, sensing the hostility in their tones.
“Firstly, what you asked was whether I’d seen a Humr.”
Xiao Yifei looked at Luo Baoyan seriously and explained, “My car is a Range Rover.
You asked if I had seen a Humr; of course, I hadn’t.”
Xiao Yifei had heard the conversation between Zhou ifeng and her mother and knew that there was tension between Zhou ifeng’s family and the village chief Luo Baoyan.
Luo Baoyan’s attitude towards Xiao Yifei was also extrely unfriendly, so Xiao Yi had no intention of being courteous to Luo Baoyan.
“Moreover, even if you are the village chief, I don’t have to report to you why I’m here, do I?
Even as the village chief, this village isn’t your private property, right?”
Xiao Yifei looked at Luo Baoyan, eyes narrowing as he spoke.
“You!”
Luo Baoyan, upon hearing Xiao Yifei clarify that his vehicle was a Range Rover, not a Humr, instantly felt his face turn red with embarrassnt, especially since he had just been acting knowledgeable in front of Wang Guihua, “I don’t care if it’s a Range Rover or a Humr, anyone who can drive a million-dollar car is no common person.
If you co to our village, of course you have to inform !
What if you are people from the TV station here for an interview!”
Fearful that there might be so special situation with Zhou ifeng’s family due to their extre poverty, perhaps even a charity donation, which would prevent him from reaping any benefits, Luo Baoyan added.
“You can rest assured, I’m not from a TV station.”
Xiao Yifei frowned as he replied to the anxious Luo Baoyan, “Besides, the car isn’t mine, I borrowed it.”
Upon Xiao Yifei’s response, Luo Baoyan began to size him up, a gleam flitting through his eyes.
Luo Baoyan scrutinized Xiao Yifei, noting that although the man was tall and had an impressive presence, he was quite young and dressed simply, without the flamboyant air of those wealthy second-generation youths he had seen.
Realizing the Range Rover that had embarrassed him in front of his wife was actually borrowed, Luo Baoyan sowhat believed him.
At ho, Luo Baoyan often found himself under the thumb of his wife, Wang Guihua, who would figuratively defecate and urinate on him.
He had thought he might make an impression by recognizing the car’s make but ended up making a fool of himself instead.
Having confird that Xiao Yifei was not soone who could afford such an expensive vehicle, and seeing that he and the beautiful woman beside him were cultivating a relationship with Zhou Jun’s family, Luo Baoyan decided there was no need to be polite with them.
He thought he might as well try and secure so money from the situation.
