While Xiao Cheng and Li Jianfeng were discussing business in the private room, the owner of Tianshang had some fine wine brought over.
Add a note: "You're welcome to visit anytime."
Xiao Cheng and Li Jianfeng don't need to pay for the things they damaged during their fight in the private room.
You should know that last time Xiao Cheng and Hu Biao fought in Tianshang, Hu Biao lost and suffered a huge financial loss.
Tianshang even included a toothpick box in its calculations.
Hu Biao could only swallow his anger; no one could run wild in Tianshang and leave unscathed.
Although Xiao Cheng's fight with Li Jianfeng tonight did not cause extensive damage, it did cause some minor damage.
For example, glass table lamps, crystal lamps...
Even though it wasn't completely destroyed, the damage was still significant, yet Tianshang didn't ask them to pay a single penny in compensation.
They even sent wine, clearly showing their intention to befriend them.
Xiao Cheng recalled what Bai Lu had said earlier: Tian Shang had a powerful figure behind it who could rival the four major powers.
He didn't refuse, accepted the wine, and had someone reply, "Thank you, the wine has been received."
The person who delivered the wine understood the meaning of these words, and personally escorted Xiao Cheng and Li Jianfeng out before returning to report.
Li Jianfeng had wanted to chat with the owner of Tianshang for a bit... but seeing Xiao Cheng heading towards the police station, he decisively turned and left.
He walked away cursing and shooing people away: "Xiao Cheng, you love-blinded idiot! You lunatic! Don't ever come looking for me again! I don't want you!"
Xiao Cheng: "Have some shame. Who cares about you?"
If he hadn't been wearing slippers, Li Jianfeng would have gone crazy on the spot and thrown a slipper back at him.
Although...
He kicked a pebble on the side of the road with all his might, and then howled all the way back.
"Xiao Cheng is a complete idiot!"
"A madman..."
The moon rises above the willow branches.
Xiao Wei had just finished using the outhouse and hadn't even washed his hands when he saw a tall figure walking in, bathed in moonlight, as the door opened. He was completely stunned.
Stunned and bewildered.
Her eyes were wide open, half-asleep, and her little mouth moved for a while before she finally uttered a sound of disbelief.
"Big brother... is back???"
Xiao Cheng, whose mind was preoccupied with calling Lulu, stopped in front of the landline upon hearing the sound, slightly raised his eyes, and focused his gaze on the source of the soft voice.
It's the little guy Lulu likes.
He responded with a "Mm".
He quickly withdrew his gaze, which was tinged with the smell of alcohol, and turned to the telephone keypad, pressing the buttons with his slender fingers.
If he called Bai Lu, he would have already dialed two wrong numbers. Xiao Wei wanted to remind her, but then he thought that his hands were still unwashed and he would definitely be kicked away if he went over.
I promptly ran to the yard to press the water pump to wash my hands.
When I got back, I saw my older brother pressing the phone buttons hard with one hand and flipping through the calendar quickly with the other.
The furrowed brow of frustration seemed to relax slightly as the calendar pages were turned.
But the pressure applied to the phone button kept increasing.
"Brother, I remember sister-in-law's number, shall I call?"
The older brother shot him a cold dagger: "I don't remember?"
Xiao Wei: "..."
My sister-in-law said that when my brother-in-law is drunk, he will act unreasonably, and I shouldn't argue with him, or I'll just get angry.
Okay... "The telephone was repaired yesterday; the button positions were changed."
Upon hearing the explanation, Xiao Cheng paused for a moment, glanced at the landline, and then gave Xiao Wei a look.
"Come here."
Xiao Wei ran over quickly, pressed a few buttons, and then handed the phone to Xiao Cheng.
"clang……"
It's one o'clock.
Xiao Wei felt that his sister-in-law was right.
My older brother gets unreasonable when he's drunk. He calls my sister-in-law in the middle of the night, disturbing her sleep.
They even asked the kind of question that a three-year-old would know: "Lulu, are you asleep?"
What time is it?! Why aren't you asleep yet?!
Half-asleep, Bai Lu shared the same thoughts as Xiao Wei. Hearing the cautious yet expectant tone in Xiao Wei's voice on the phone, she could guess that the brainless kid had come out again.
"Who did you go drinking with tonight?"
Hearing the languid interrogation in his ear, Xiao Xiaohai seemed to finally realize his mistake and obediently replied, "Li Jianfeng, I had a few drinks while we were talking."
How many drinks can make a child act unreasonably?
Xiao Wei was a little skeptical. He sat at the table with his hands supporting his chin, secretly watching his older brother's changes after drinking.
He definitely wouldn't have dared to do that before.
He was a hero tonight, helping his older brother call his sister-in-law. His older brother definitely won't blame him.
"Okay... then why aren't you asleep yet when you get home? Why are you calling me so late? Is something wrong?" Bai Lu held her cell phone as she lay on the bed.
My eyes were so tired that I could only see a sliver of the ceiling.
"Lulu, don't run around these next few days." Xiao Xiao's tone was more serious than ever before: "It's not safe for Lulu to live alone outside while I'm not around. Go back to your school dormitory for a few days. I'll pick you up from school after I've taken care of things at home."
Bai Lu sensed something was wrong: "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
"No."
After answering subconsciously, Xiao Xiaohai coaxed, "Anyway, Lulu, don't overthink it. I'll come pick you up as soon as I've finished dealing with things here."
Xiao Xiao thought that people were scarier than ghosts.
The White Dew has a love knot that can ward off all evil, but it cannot ward off people.
Unable to withstand swords, spears, and hidden arrows...
As long as the employer remains at large, the bounty list will remain in place, and the White Dew season will be in even greater danger.
Although Xiao Xiao was extremely unwilling for Bai Lu and Lin Jinfan to live in the same school, she had to admit the fact that the school was safer than outside.
"Lulu, remember what you promised me."
"What?" Bai Lu was speculating about why Xiao Xiaohai had suddenly made her live at school, and didn't have time to think about it further.
Xiao Xiaohai, however, thought she wasn't paying attention on the phone and immediately yelled angrily, "You said you'd marry me!"
"Lulu said she wanted to marry me that night, how could I forget! It's only been a few days and I've already forgotten! Was it all a lie? Did Lulu lie to me?!"
Xiao Wei saw his older brother forcefully tear off a page from the calendar, then two pages, then three pages... crumpling them into balls and smashing them around.
He was clearly extremely angry and irritable.
Even Grandpa Hu was yelled at.
However, Grandpa Hu only glanced at the older brother who was making the phone call and ignored him.
With his messy hair giving him an air of otherworldly elegance, he sat down at the table and poured tea for Xiao Wei.
"Grandpa Hu, what's wrong with my brother?" Xiao Wei thought that Grandpa Hu was knowledgeable about everything from astronomy to geography, so he must know why his brother was suddenly so angry and irritable.
Grandpa Hu slowly took a sip of tea, glanced at the small crumpled piece of paper on the ground, and said with a smile, "It's nothing."
"Your brother is looking for an auspicious day to marry your sister-in-law."
Xiao Wei was stunned, his eyes lighting up like light bulbs: "That! This! Oh, really, really? Didn't Wang Cuihua say before that my sister-in-law wasn't old enough to get a marriage certificate and couldn't get married to my brother?!"
Grandpa Hu stroked his white beard, looked at the brightest star in the night sky, and smiled, "It'll be soon."
Xiao Wei was so excited that he gulped down three large cups of tea, held his breath, and eavesdropped on his older brother and sister-in-law's phone call.
"Marry you?"
Bai Lu's speculation was interrupted by the child's angry roar, and she finally remembered the promise she had made to him that night.
