Yang Ming’s words made the atmosphere incredibly awkward, but luckily, the sudden commotion in the main hall provided a distraction, as if soone was causing trouble, "Xiaoxiao, you go ahead and eat, I’ll go out and have a look."
"Mm." Xiaoxiao felt it was better for her discounted husband to step out as she needed to calm down, to soothe her rapidly beating heart.
As Yang Ming spoke, he walked out the door, not expecting to see soone in the main hall that he would have never imagined.
The departure of Xiaotian nearly drove Li Fugui to the edge of collapse. Driven out, he had truly lost his mind, with the single obsession of finding Xiaotian. Whenever he saw a woman, he would approach her, calling out Xiaotian’s na, and if it wasn’t her, he would walk away.
Perhaps subconsciously, he wandered into Yuelai Restaurant. Because he was searching for Xiaotian, he disturbed every woman in the main hall who was having a al.
"Ah! What are you doing?" The harassed won imdiately scread.
The n dining with them, seeing their wives being molested, imdiately stood up and threw a punch at Li Fugui, "Where did this beggar co from, daring to molest my wife? I’ll beat you so badly you’ll be searching for your teeth on the ground."
Li Fugui seed to feel nothing, muttering, "Not Xiaotian," then moved directly to the next table, approaching the won there as well.
After harassing several tables of dining won and getting beaten up each ti, he seed to not care and continued on his quest.
At this point, soone sensed sothing was amiss, "Stop beating him, everyone. I think he’s actually looking for soone, not molesting people!"
Upon hearing this, everyone began to watch Li Fugui more closely, "It does seem so, indeed he seems to be looking for soone. He keeps saying it’s not Xiaotian."
"Then the person he’s looking for must be called Xiaotian. Is Xiaotian a man or a woman? Does anyone here know them?"
People shook their heads, indicating they did not know Xiaotian.
"Xiao’er, this person seems not quite right in the head. Better ask him to leave, the person he’s looking for isn’t here."
"Alright, alright, sorry everyone. I’ll get rid of him straight away!" Upon coming over, Xiao’er grabbed Li Fugui, signaling him to hurry out.
While being dragged away, soone in the crowd recognized Li Fugui.
"Eh? Doesn’t this person look a lot like the Eldest Young Master from Dongfeng Restaurant?"
When they heard this, everyone looked over, "Hey! Don’t say that, it really is Li Family’s Eldest Young Master. How did he end up like this, like a beggar, unrecognizable."
"Heard he ran off with a Little Maid, how co he looks like he’s gone mad now?"
"Could it be that the maid he’s been looking for all this ti is that one?"
"Poor guy, surely he’s been abandoned by that maid."
"..."
"..."
Everyone murmured among themselves, speculating about how Li Family’s once-glorious Eldest Young Master had fallen into such a poor and wretched state, and to their shock, had seemingly gone mad, providing the town with a new tale to discuss over als.
Yang Ming initially did not recognize Li Fugui, and only after hearing others did he co to the realization. He was astonished, it had only been a few days, and yet the man had changed so.
"Xiao’er, this is my friend, I’ll take him inside," said Yang Ming as he pulled Li Fugui along, but Li Fugui did not follow willingly. He looked around as if he was still searching.
"I’ll take you to find Xiaotian," Yang Ming said, forced to lie to coax him to follow.
"Really? Do you know where Xiaotian is?"
"Mm, just follow ."
Li Fugui, receiving an affirmative answer, nodded and followed Yang Ming into a private room.
As soon as he entered the room, Li Fugui quickly walked up to Xiaoxiao, grabbing her hand, "Xiaotian."
"..."
