The early morning was pierced by the sound of a bicycle bell. Tang Lele rode his bicycle through the streets, delivering each portion of medicinal materials to the patients.
After delivering the herbs, Tang Lele hurried to the Yan family and happened to see Xiao Jinchu coming out. He said cheerfully, "Master, you are here too."
Tang Lele followed Fan Zhiqiang in calling Xiao Jinchu "Master", and also called Yan Shuhua "Master's Wife". These titles sounded quite intimate.
To be honest, Yan Shuhua felt relieved to see that he treated her like a family member.
"I invited a few friends to have dinner together today. Master, how about you join us?" He had never gone out to eat with him before and really wanted to go out to eat with him once.
In fact, to be honest, Xiao Jinchu was really not interested in this kind of dinner party at all, but after all, he was Old Tang's son, and he was interested in having a better relationship with him, so he would not refuse him like this.
So Xiao Jinchu thought about it and finally agreed.
Originally, she was going to go with Yan Shuhua, but Yan Shuhua thought that they were all grown men and it would not be appropriate for a girl like her to go, so she refused and said that they would go next time when the family went out to eat together.
In fact, to be honest, Xiao Jinchu was not interested in Tang Lele's friends at all. In addition, the tone of voice they all spoke made him feel a little unhappy. However, he still sat down and had a good meal.
The people at the next table saw the watch on Xiao Jinchu's hand and thought it was quite valuable, so they winked at the people nearby and said that they must snatch the watch from Xiao Jinchu's hand tonight.
This watch looks like it could cost several thousand dollars.
Although Tang Lele is young, he can smoke, drink, and brag.
"Didn't you say before that you wouldn't let your stepmother marry into your family casually? How come everything you say now is all lies?" These friends immediately started teasing Tang Lele, and he laughed and replied, "I said that before because I didn't care and didn't think much about it. It's different now. Now I realize how good she is to me."
"Haha, just because I'm nice to you, right?"
"That's why people talk without understanding. You say that, but you don't really mean it in your heart. And I also heard that your master's wife is quite pretty." Some people were joking with him, saying that he must be like Yan Shuhua, otherwise why would he suddenly change so much. Xiao Jinchu happened to come over, and when he heard what they said, his expression changed immediately.
After all, Xiao Jinchu did have this ability. His eyes would change when he looked over like this. They were all very scared and no one dared to say a word, for fear of getting into trouble.
Xiao Jinchu didn't like people making fun of Yan Shuhua: "Don't you know what to say and what not to say?"
"We were just joking just now, and we didn't say anything. Please don't take it too seriously."
Several friends were afraid to speak immediately, but Tang Lele saw that Xiao Jinchu's face was still very unhappy, so he quickly walked over and patted his shoulder: "Master, these people talk like this, we are too lazy to say anything to him, never mind, never mind, let him do whatever he wants, today we are out to have a good meal, don't quarrel."
Tang Lele was really scared. It was so hard to create such a good atmosphere, but it turned bad because of this kind of thing. Wouldn't it be ruined? Anyway, Xiao Jinchu now understood that if these people were with Tang Lele again, they would definitely lead Tang Lele astray. After all, Tang Lele really had no scheming at all, and he was careless, like a fool. Even if he was really deceived, he would not know.
So he didn't care about the meal. He originally thought that after all, he would be his stepfather's son, so he must give him some face. But who would have thought that when he came here, he would hear these people say such things. He would be unhappy in his heart, so he thought that he should find an opportunity to make them break off the relationship with this group of people.
Tang Lele was busy drinking or smoking and didn't pay much attention to Xiao Jinchu's expression.
Finally, he couldn't stand it any longer, so he stopped him: "How old are you? You drink so much and smoke so many cigarettes? Do you still want to take care of your body?"
"Master, you know that among us men, which one of us doesn't smoke and which one of us doesn't drink?" Tang Lele looked at his master and it seemed that he didn't smoke, but how could it be possible that he didn't smoke or drink?
Hearing this, Xiao Jinchu suddenly sneered: "How dare you call yourself a man? How many hairs do you have?"
Tang Lele felt a little unhappy after hearing Xiao Jinchu's words.
"Master, you see, I'm always so kind and gentle. I call you for everything, and I'm so polite to you, but you don't give me face and say that to me. And these are all my good friends. I brought you here to chat with them today just because we met for the first time. Do you think I'm such an ignorant person?"
Tang Lele originally had some opinions about Shen Hongmei, but later on, since he saw how good his father was to her, he didn't want to say anything. However, he just called her "master" and "master's wife" casually. After all, he worked in someone else's pharmacy, so what else could he say? But now, when he heard Xiao Jinchu's words that were so disrespectful to him, to be honest, he was very unhappy.
I am really, really unhappy.
He has given him enough face, why can't he give himself a little face?
"I don't know what you're thinking. What I'm saying now is for your own good. Just think about it, if you hang out with such bad friends every day, will you be treated well?"
Xiao Jinchu could see that this group of people did not really regard Tang Lele as a friend.
"Then I really don't know what you are thinking in your heart. Everyone's circle of friends is different. I am not like your high-ranking circle of friends, all of whom are rich people. I myself have no money, and I can't compare with your friends without numbers."
Xiao Jinchu directly took the bottle of wine from Tang Lele's hand and said, "Since you call me Master, I must set an example for a Master. You can't drink this bottle of wine today."
