"Brother Shan!" His men, fearing something might happen to him, were all itching to act.
Lu Lishan told them to retreat.
The group walked away reluctantly, and Huo Zhixing watched their figures disappear into the twilight before slowly lowering the gun in his hand.
"That's right, I saw through you a long time ago that you weren't Gu Mang," Lu Lishan sneered. "But so what? After I saw through you, I haven't bothered you again, have I?"
Huo Zhixing's face darkened.
What he said wasn't wrong, and last time Jiang Yao came to the store to bully Jiang Can, it was he who stepped in and drove those people away.
Even so, Huo Zhixing still harbored strong suspicions about him.
"You know I'm not Gu Mang." He looked at him coldly. "Then do you know who I am?"
Lu Lishan paused, glanced at him, and suddenly laughed.
"All I know is that your woman and my woman are best friends!"
Huo Zhixing frowned slightly.
Lu Lishan exuded a roguish air from head to toe, and the scar on his face added to his sinister appearance.
Huo Zhixing was somewhat confused as to whether this person was a friend or foe.
"Gu Mang!" A clear voice suddenly came from not far away. "Are you in the shop?"
Huo Zhixing and Lu Lishan exchanged a glance and quickly walked out of the bushes.
Shen Xiao was standing in the courtyard, holding a large box in his hands. However, upon seeing Lu Lishan, the smile on his face instantly froze.
Huo Zhixing nodded to him, trying to appear as natural as possible.
“When I arrived, I ran into Jiang Can rushing out.” Shen Xiao smiled at him. “He said he was going to the shop next door to get some coffee beans and would be right back.”
"Um."
The owners of several coffee shops around the area were all about the same age as Jiang Can, and Jiang Can was an easy person to get along with, so she quickly became friends with them.
With the new coffee beans, they all thought of Jiang Can and wanted to send her some to try.
Huo Zhixing looked at Shen Xiao, "What brings you here today?"
"It's all because of this!" Shen Xiao carried the large box inside, placed it on the table, and handed him the delivery receipt.
The words "wedding dress" and "custom-made" are clearly written on it.
Huo Zhixing suddenly remembered that the day after his wedding with Jiang Can, she went to return her wedding dress. He couldn't stand the shop assistant's sarcastic remarks to her, so in a fit of anger, he bought the most expensive wedding dress in the store.
Ha, 30,000 yuan, Jiang Can kept nagging about it the whole way.
“I went back a few days ago,” Shen Xiao told him. “This big box is right in front of your house! You don’t usually interact with anyone, and no one ever passes by your house. I don’t know how long this box has been there; it’s covered in a layer of dust!”
"As soon as I saw the delivery receipt still on the box, I rushed to deliver it to you."
"Is this the wedding dress you wore when you married Jiang Can? It's almost your anniversary, and the wedding dress is only now being delivered?"
Huo Zhixing remained silent, only offering a slight smile.
Yes, time flies! It's almost been a year since our wedding.
This wedding dress arrived at just the right time! Perhaps it would add a special touch of ceremony for Jiang Can to wear it on their wedding anniversary.
"Thank you." Huo Zhixing patted him on the shoulder. "Sit down and have a drink, I'll make you one!"
"No need!" Shen Xiao smiled honestly. "It's nothing. I have to go back to the clinic tonight, and I'm on duty, so I won't drink here."
"You need to stay alert while you're on duty, so let me make you a drink. It'll be ready soon!"
"Really, you don't need to..."
"If I don't cook for you, my wife will say I'm not a good host!"
As he spoke, Huo Zhixing turned on the coffee machine.
Shen Xiao chuckled, "Gu Mang, you've really changed a lot since you got married."
"What?"
"I listen to my wife extra carefully!"
Huo Zhixing turned around and looked at him, and smiled.
Shen Xiao glanced at Lu Lishan and said in a low voice, "Gu Mang, didn't your wife tell you... to stay away from your old cellmates?"
Huo Zhixing was taken aback, and it took him a moment to realize that Shen Xiao was referring to Lu Lishan.
“Gu Mang, you’re already married and have a family. You’re doing well with Jiang Can. You shouldn’t have anything to do with that kind of person anymore.”
"Don't blame me for being nosy, but I'm only telling you this because I've always considered you a brother."
"Gu Mang, think about Jiang Can more when you do anything... Your lives shouldn't be disturbed by that kind of person!"
"I fucking can't listen to this anymore!"
Lu Lishan, who was sitting in the corner of the bar, suddenly kicked over the stool, and the lighter he was playing with fell to the ground with a bang.
He exuded a chilling and sinister aura.
Several customers at the shop left halfway through their coffee and made a hasty exit.
In an instant, the room seemed to be shrouded in a low-pressure atmosphere again.
"Ha, you keep calling people 'that kind of person'," Lu Lishan sneered. "And what kind of person are you? Just because you're wearing a white coat doesn't mean you're some kind of savior!"
Shen Xiao stared at him calmly and without fear.
He simply couldn't understand why Lin Yuqing would still be hung up on someone like that!
"I'm not qualified to be a savior, but I feel that as a good brother, I should still offer Gu Mang some advice!"
"Good brother?"
Lu Lishan said sarcastically, "Gu Mang and I were already best buddies when we were inside! How long have you known him!"
"Mr. Lu, the relationship between people depends on fate, not on how long you've known each other."
Lu Lishan clenched his fists.
Fate? Is this guy talking about him and Lin Yuqing?
“Furthermore,” Shen Xiao continued, “if you truly consider Gu Mang a brother, then what about all those times you humiliated him? Is this how brothers act?”
"My business with Gu Mang is none of your concern!"
"Gu Mang is my friend, and I'm determined to get involved in his affairs!"
Shen Xiao and Lu Lishan stood on one side, while Huo Zhixing stood in the middle, his face looking very unpleasant.
But it's one thing for these two to just argue, but every time they say something, they have to pull him along!
Huo Zhixing was being pulled back and forth by the two of them, and the anger he had been suppressing was about to reach a breaking point.
Just then, Lu Lishan gave it a sharp tug—
"You fucking Pacific police, why are you meddling in other people's business?"
Shen Xiao then pulled again—
"I won't let you ruin my friend!"
"you……"
"Have you two had enough?!" Huo Zhixing roared.
The scene fell silent instantly.
However, after the silence, a timid voice came from the young woman: "What...are you doing?"
The three grown men were stunned at the same time.
Jiang Can stood at the door, staring at them in disbelief.
Her bright gaze swept over the three men before finally settling on Huo Zhixing. Shen Xiao and Lu Lishan reacted simultaneously, abruptly releasing Huo Zhixing's arm.
Jiang Can suppressed a smile, barely able to hold it in.
This was the first time she had ever witnessed a scene with three men in one place.
It turns out that jealousy and rivalry between men can be quite intense.
"Wife, I..." Huo Zhixing didn't know how to explain, and his sharp eyes swept over Shen Xiao and Lu Lishan on the other side.
