She was fairer-skinned than a woman, but unfortunately, she had poor manners, a waste of such good looks, Xia Baozhu thought to herself.

"Xiao Bo, why aren't you going back yet?" A beautiful, slender girl in a white turtleneck sweater walked over and took the hand of a man or boy.

Some people take on the responsibilities of their families at the age of twenty and are called men.

Some people who are still relying on their families for support at the age of twenty-two or twenty-three are called boys.

This was the first time Huang Guangnian had been publicly insulted. He felt like he had swallowed a ton of explosives and his heart exploded on the spot.

"How can you talk like that? I was trying to give you a way out, and you didn't appreciate it and even insulted me?"

As a seasoned veteran, Huang Guangnian dared not offend people whose background he did not know, no matter how angry he was.

This person clearly wasn't from an ordinary family, so he spoke very restrainedly.

"You're so young and you're already behaving badly. Apologize to us right now!" Yang Siqi slammed her hand on the table and stood up, followed closely by Yuan Bin.

"Xiao Bo, let's go, there are too many of them."

The girl in white hid behind the boy in fear, but the light in her eyes didn't look like fear at all; instead, it was gloating.

Ye Xiaobo smashed the glass in his hand, attracting the attention of those around him.

"You wait here!" he said, grabbing the girl and starting to leave.

"Wait, are you just going to leave like this?" Yang Siqi called out to them.

"You think you can just swear and leave? You've got a way to get away with this! Stay and finish this bottle if you dare! Otherwise, you'll regret it today!"

Ye Xiaobo turned around and gave him a disdainful look: "Apologize to me now, and I'll spare your life later."

Enraged, Yang Siqi immediately jumped out from behind the table and threw her fist at the arrogant young man.

Xia Baozhu stopped him: "Don't do it."

Yang Siqi was furious. He tried to break free from Xia Baozhu's grasp, but found that she wouldn't budge. He looked at her in surprise and suddenly understood many things.

He turned to look at Section Chief Huang, who gave him a forced smile.

No wonder that old rascal has become so well-behaved.

Ye Xiaobo snorted coldly and left.

Yang Siqi sat back down in her chair, huffing and puffing, "These kids nowadays are getting more and more arrogant, they don't know their place."

"Hey, who can argue with that? Some little brats even carry knives around. They don't learn good things, they learn bad things too quickly."

Huang Guangnian poured Yang Siqi a cup of tea as he spoke.

"I'm better-tempered now. In the past, I would have just hit someone without thinking twice."

"Yes, everyone has been through the war. When I was a kid, I even threw stones at the county party secretary. I don't even know how many people I hit during those struggle sessions."

“Things are different now. They’ve been around for years, so we can’t say things like that anymore.”

Huang Guangnian shook his head. He had even participated in the criticism of their principal, but now he was keeping a low profile, wagging his tail and being very respectful to his child's homeroom teacher.

Xia Baozhu poured a glass of wine for each of the three people.

"Oh, Xia, no need for you to pour the wine." Section Chief Huang was so pleased with Xia Baozhu's courteous treatment that he stood up with his wine glass in hand.

"You have also suffered because of me, so I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine," Xia Baozhu said, raising her teacup to Huang Guangnian and the other two.

"That's an overstatement. It's all that brat's fault for being inhuman, it has nothing to do with you." Yang Siqi waved her hand and took a sip of her drink.

Halfway through the meal, Xia Baozhu saw Ye Xiaobo leading a group of people upstairs.

"These are the few. Take the women away, and beat the men as hard as you can," Ye Xiaobo said to the seven or eight people behind him.

“Brother Ye, this isn’t a good idea. This is Brother Guan’s territory. If we cause trouble on his turf, we’ll definitely get beaten up later,” said an ordinary-looking boy of about eighteen or nineteen.

"Yeah, Brother Ye, we can drag them out and beat them up."

"You bunch of cowards! I sent you here to make me proud, not to embarrass me. Fight if you want, or get lost!"

As he spoke, Ye Xiaobo went to Xia Baozhu's table, pulled on the tablecloth, but couldn't budge it. He pulled harder, but still couldn't budge it.

Finally, he tried to lift the table, but to his surprise, he couldn't lift it either.

This made Huang Guangnian and the others burst into laughter.

"You're here to perform, right? We don't have any money for you."

Yang Siqi slammed her hand on the table and loudly mocked the pretty boy who couldn't even lift a table.

"Haha... You can't even pull the tablecloth, yet you dare to challenge me, haha!"

Those behind Ye Xiaobo were also completely baffled by his performance.

But knowing that their brother had been humiliated, they didn't care about anything else and came over to surround table number 36.

Ye Xiaobo felt utterly humiliated after being ridiculed by Yang Siqi.

Even if his brothers came, they couldn't wash away his shame; he felt like a clown.

Yang Siqi and the others stood up, while Xia Baozhu remained seated. She picked up a wooden chopstick, but after thinking about it, she felt it was too sharp and put it down.

Fighting in public can easily leave evidence against you.

Why isn't the restaurant manager here yet?

Is such a large place so poorly managed?

Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will appear immediately.

"Hey, hey, don't hit me, don't hit me, we can talk this over."

The manager, dressed in a black suit and red bow tie, walked over quickly, followed by several strong and muscular service staff.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and fight!" Ye Xiaobo urged his brother.

"Since the manager is here, Brother Guan will definitely find out. Let's just forget about it."

Ye Xiaobo was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged, his pale face looking like it had been smeared with blush: "A bunch of useless trash!"

"Xiao Bo, is this how your family raised you?" A slow voice came from behind.

"Hello, Brother Guan." A series of voices greeted him respectfully.

A man of medium height with a cold and aloof demeanor walked over unhurriedly.

Ye Xiaobo stiffly turned his head back: "Brother Guan."

Then he was kicked three meters away.

"Get out of here!"

The group of people gathered around table number 36 left in a flurry, not forgetting to take Ye Xiaobo with them as they passed by.

"I'm sorry to have startled you. To express my apology, this table's meal is on the house." Brother Guan treated the customers gently, and after saying this, he glanced at Xia Baozhu again before leaving.

The manager came over and said the same thing, and then had someone replace their tea set with a new one.

"The owner here is really nice." Yang Siqi originally thought a big battle was going to happen, but it turned out to be all bark and no bite, a false alarm.

"The boss and those guys know each other. They came here to fight because they were disrespecting the boss, so they didn't dare to make a move. But I wonder if they'll be waiting for us outside."

Huang Guangnian was thinking more deeply. He looked at Xia Baozhu, but he didn't see any nervousness or fear on her face from beginning to end.

Just like that time when he tricked her into coming to his old house, her expression was the same.

She wasn't afraid of facing one thief, nor was she afraid of facing two purse snatchers, and she was equally unafraid of facing seven or eight people this time.

Could she be even more capable than I imagined?
