"It's normal for kids to fight. Maybe that person is a trained fighter. I've looked into the younger generation these days, and many of them are no match for the competition. It's not surprising that they could be defeated. But... the opponent was just one person. He's really a piece of trash."

"He can take on more than a dozen people at once, this guy is amazing."

Ning Zheyuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. In his youth, he was also a war god, the kind who would fight without regard for his life. But even he wouldn't dare to take on more than a dozen people at once. After all, a young boy could stab you whenever he wanted. You could guard against overt threats, but how could you guard against covert ones?

I never imagined that I, in my old age, would encounter such a young, living Lu Bu.

"Fierce? He's fierce my ass! He's just a piece of trash."

Li Junyang's expression was uncertain. Xia Che's combat power exceeded his expectations. In his original plan, Xia Che should be lying in the hospital right now, looking at his broken leg and regretting going against him.

No one expected Xia Che to have such a trick up his sleeve.

One against more than ten!

Li Junyang put himself in the shoes of the characters. If he were to take on a dozen thugs, the only possible outcome would be having his legs broken.

With such high combat power, ordinary thugs would never dare to cause trouble for Xia Che again. Does he really want me to go and fight?

But his combat strength is at most higher than Li Hu's. Even if he goes... does he think he can deal with Xia Che?

Li Junyang was unsure.

But the other party stole Shen Yanxin, whom he liked, and Li Junyang couldn't just swallow his anger. Just thinking about it was enough to drive him crazy.

"Don't worry too much, Brother Li, I didn't say I wouldn't help you."

Suddenly, Ning Zheyuan smiled.

His goal was to make some money from Qingshan Real Estate, a nouveau riche company. Li Junyang wanted to use him as a backer, and so did he.

Ning Zheyuan could see through Li Junyang's thoughts at a glance, but Li Junyang couldn't see through his.

"Really?"

Li Junyang's eyes lit up instantly; he had been waiting for Ning Zheyuan to say those words.

With Cigarette Scar's help, his men are definitely better than street thugs, so how could they not handle Xia Che?

"Okay, I'll find two people in a while, and you can take them to settle the score with the other party and get revenge."

Ning Zheyuan held a cigar between his fingers, squinting and smiling.

"Okay, okay... Thank you, Brother Cigarette Scar!"

Li Junyang was overjoyed and hurriedly offered a toast, unable to stop smiling.

He could almost see Xia Che lying on the ground, howling in pain, his leg broken.

No matter how good you are at fighting, Xia Che, you can only beat up a few thugs at most. The people he brought this time are the men of Yan Ba!

The two sides were not even in the same league. This time, he wanted to see how this damn blond guy could turn things around!

"No need, no need, it's just a small favor."

"We've had our fill of food and drinks, and I think it's time to talk about the old town development project that your Qingshan Real Estate acquired..."

Ning Zheyuan looked at Li Junyang, who was sitting opposite him, his face flushed from drinking too much in his happiness, and a strange smile gradually appeared on his face.

...

The night passed quietly.

Xia Che, with his hair a mess of yellowish-brown, yawned as he walked into the bathroom to wash up.

After taking care of his physical needs, Xia Che stretched, but still felt sore all over.

"Damn, that little brat really went all out last night, she almost killed me..."

Xia Che touched his chest, his expression still showing lingering fear.

Chu Yuying seemed to feel humiliated because she hadn't done what a blond guy should do for her, even though she was a blond guy, so she went berserk.

He sat on his own body and smashed himself with a pillow for over half an hour before he felt better.

She felt satisfied after smashing it, and her anger subsided, but Xia Che felt uncomfortable.

Getting hit by a pillow won't hurt, no matter what, because it's hard to hurt someone with a pillow.

But……

It's quite difficult to resist retaliating when faced with the yelling and shouting of a female devil.

After all, such a cute girl would probably cry for a long time if she got punched. Xia Che endured it all night, but the next day he felt sore and uncomfortable.

"Sigh, what's wrong with this woman's thought process? She truly is a little devil that's hard for ordinary people to understand..."

Xia Che grimaced as he pulled up his pants and turned to wash his hands at the sink.

It was too late last night, so Xia Che didn't ask Chu Yuying to leave. After all, the reason Chu Yuying was at his house was more due to Xia Che's fault.

"That brat Chu Yuying, although she did cause a lot of trouble, is also quite pitiful..."

Xia Che held his toothbrush, looked at himself in the mirror with a string of foam around his mouth, and sighed silently.

Having read the original novel, he naturally understood Chu Yuying's family background.

Having lost her parents at a young age, Chu Yuying, an orphan, could only live with the help of her elders and relatives.

Because of the sudden death of her parents, and the fact that her parents lived in poverty and rented houses for many years, Chu Yuying had nowhere to live.

She might stay at her aunt's house this month, but next month she'll go to her maternal aunt's house. Several elder relatives will take turns looking after Chu Yuying.

As Chu Yuying grew older and gradually became a young woman, she began to have self-respect. She no longer wanted to live such a dependent life, nor did she want to be a ball tossed around by different families.

She also wanted to have a little home that belonged only to her.

It doesn't need to be too big, just big enough for her to live comfortably.

"In the original story, when Chu Yuying first met Li Junyang, he gave her a place to stay. After all, he was a young master, so finding a place to live wasn't difficult for him. But it was this small favor that touched Chu Yuying at the time, and she fell deeply in love with him..."

"That bastard Li Junyang, just thinking about him makes me angry. Even though the young master is so rich, he's still so stingy. The place he initially gave Chu Yuying to live in only cost three hundred yuan a month, it was practically a basement, a complete cramped living situation, and Chu Yuying was still grateful for it. What a beast..."

"Ugh... I get angry just thinking about it. Calm down, calm down."

Xia Che wet his hands with some water, patted his forehead, and only then did he feel his anger subside a little.

After calming down, Xia Che fell into deep thought.

How about... we develop a relationship with Chu Yuying and have her become our roommate?

Anyway, the house my heartless parents left me is a three-bedroom apartment, and currently only I and Yue are living there. It's not fully occupied, so leaving the remaining room empty is a waste.

"Sigh... It's true that I feel sorry for her, but I'm really worried that this little brat might give me another big job someday."

Xia Che was having a headache when he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
