Wei Shaoqiu had never failed to get a woman he wanted, and Zheng Xiaoduo would be no exception. As he spoke, he lit a cigarette and took a fierce drag on it while facing the window.
The driver imdiately made a call to start his inquiries.
About ten minutes later, the driver had an answer. "Young Master," he reported, "I checked her sister Zheng Xiaoman's call records. Half an hour ago, she reserved a table for three at Qiaoxi Sea Restaurant."
"Three people?" Wei Shaoqiu stubbed out his cigarette and said grimly, "Does that an that good-for-nothing Chen Yang is there too?"
"That should be right," the driver nodded.
Wei Shaoqiu scoffed. "A freeloader who only survives by marrying into his wife's family—what right does he have to dine with Xiaoduo? And what right does he have to be her master? A good-for-nothing who doesn't even know his place… that kind of person is just begging to be taught a lesson!"
The driver bared his teeth in a grin. "Young Master, what do you want to do?"
"Whose business is the Qiaoxi Sea Restaurant?" Wei Shaoqiu asked, then waved his hand dismissively. "Never mind whose it is. Notify them imdiately that I'm taking over the restaurant for the day."
"Then, send so people over to guard the entrance. Zheng Xiaoman and Zheng Xiaoduo can go in, but that good-for-nothing can't! Make sure to stop him outside, but don't let him leave. Humiliate him for , as much as you can!"
The driver nodded repeatedly, his grin growing wider. He chuckled, "Understood, Young Master. I'll get on it right away."
"Turn the car around. We're going to Qiaoxi Sea Restaurant."
***
About twenty minutes later, Chen Yang and the sisters arrived at Qiaoxi Sea Restaurant.
After getting out of the car, Zheng Xiaoduo stuck close to Chen Yang, a cheerful and innocent smile reappearing on her face. As for the unpleasantness from earlier, she seed to have already cast it to the back of her mind.
This kid… she's just naturally carefree.
A faint smile touched Zheng Xiaoman's lips. She truly hoped her younger sister could stay this way forever. Wouldn't it be wonderful to always have a smile on your face, to forget your troubles in the blink of an eye?
"Huh? Why are there so many people guarding the Qiaoxi Sea Restaurant today?" Zheng Xiaoduo asked curiously, noticing the burly n standing by the entrance as they walked over.
"Maybe so big shot is dining inside," Chen Yang guessed.
Zheng Xiaoman agreed with his guess and nodded. "Let's not worry about them. We're just here to eat."
However, as they approached the restaurant's main entrance, the burly n walked directly toward them—or more precisely, toward Chen Yang.
Hm? All three of them frowned.
"Sorry, you can't co in," one of the n, who had a scar on his face, said as he held out a hand to block Chen Yang. He then smiled at the sisters. "It's just him. The two young ladies are, of course, welco to enter."
This only made them more confused.
Zheng Xiaoman's voice was stern. "He's with us. Why can't he enter? Besides, I don't believe the Qiaoxi Sea Restaurant has a rule against letting people in, does it?"
"That was before. The new rule is: no dogs or good-for-nothings allowed!"
The scarred man shot Chen Yang a disdainful look. "I know you're together, but this man is a freeloader who survives by marrying into his wife's family. He's clearly a good-for-nothing, so he can't co in!"
So, this is specifically aid at , isn't it? It's completely obvious. How else would they know I married into my wife's family?
Zheng Xiaoman was speechless, her face darkening.
More and more custors were arriving to eat. Not wanting to cause a standoff, Zheng Xiaoman tugged on Chen Yang's sleeve. "Let's go. We'll find another place."
"Why should we?" Chen Yang was now intrigued. He wanted to see exactly what kind of riffraff was pulling the strings behind the scenes.
The scarred man laughed. This good-for-nothing is quite arrogant.
He ignored Chen Yang, instead signaling two n behind him to block Zheng Xiaoman's path. "The two of you can't leave. Since you've made a reservation, you must stay and eat."
Just because we made a reservation, we can't leave and have to eat? This wasn't just unreasonable; it was downright tyrannical!
Zheng Xiaoman laughed out of sheer anger. "What kind of ridiculous rule is that? Get out of my way, now!"
The scarred man just smiled without saying a word.
Beside them, Zheng Xiaoduo's brows were furrowed. She seed to have guessed who was behind this, and her cheeks puffed out with anger.
Zheng Xiaoman was about to say more, but Chen Yang stopped her. "If they won't let us leave, then we'll go eat."
"But…" Zheng Xiaoman began, frustrated.
Chen Yang knew what she was going to say and waved a hand dismissively. "My legs are attached to my own body. Who is he to say I can't enter?"
Turning back to the scarred man, Chen Yang bared his teeth in a smile. "Wouldn't you agree?"
"I say you can't enter, so you can't enter," the scarred man also smiled, his tone taunting. "Why don't you try?"
Chen Yang raised his right hand and swung it hard across the scarred man's face.
SMACK!
With a piercing crack, the scarred man was sent spinning through the air several tis before crashing heavily to the ground.
What the…
Everyone was stunned, frozen in a state of shock.
What kind of monstrous strength is this?! He sent a grown man, weighing over a hundred kilograms, tumbling through the air with a single slap? Is he even human?!
GULP.
The sound of people swallowing nervously echoed through the crowd.
It was a long mont before anyone could process what happened.
"AHH!"
The scarred man, having barely co to his senses, let out a furious roar born of both pain and humiliation. To be sent flying by a single slap in front of all these people? And that slap… it almost shattered my skull!
After letting out the roar, he struggled to his feet and bellowed at the others, "What are you all standing around for? Are you just going to watch the show?!"
With a great clamor, the dozen or so burly n surged toward Chen Yang.
But Chen Yang simply took one step forward.
THUMP.
His foot landed.
It was a faint sound, but to the ears of the advancing n, it bood like a clap of spring thunder.
Spitting blood, each of them staggered back as if they had been hit by a sledgehamr.
In an instant, the area fell into a dead silence. All that remained were pairs of utterly terrified, bloodshot eyes fixed on Chen Yang, as if they were looking at the most horrifying creature in the world.
Just who… who is this man?!
"Let's go," Chen Yang said, waving at the dazed Zheng Xiaoman and Zheng Xiaoduo.
A beat later, the two sisters hurried to follow him.
As Chen Yang advanced, the thugs scrambled to get out of his way, bowing their heads low, not daring to make a move.
Not long after they had gone inside, Wei Shaoqiu arrived.
Staring at the bloodied, dispirited group of n before him, he bellowed, "Where is the person I wanted you to stop?!"
The crowd stood in uneasy silence.
