After returning from paying New Year's visits, it was almost 10 o'clock. Su Lei suggested going to the city for fun, so the group drove two cars to the county town.
Because there were too many people, the car couldn't get through before it even entered the city, so the group had to get out and walk.
There were many people visiting the city; it was a huge, dark mass of people, and He Ci had never seen such a sight before.
Once inside, He Ci started acting like a generous spender again, covering all their food, drinks, and entertainment.
Zhu Zhou wanted to show He Ci, but he didn't give him a chance. Money talks. Su Tian, Sun Man, and Wang Meng felt that bringing He Ci back was the best decision they had ever made.
The Heaven and Earth Theater was also packed with people at this time. Liu Jun told Sun Hao about seeing He Ci on the street, and Wu Yan's eyes lit up when she heard that He Ci had arrived.
"Where is he now? Quickly, please bring him here."
Feng Fu was afraid this woman would ruin things! So he still gave her a few reminders.
"Yanzi, put away your little schemes. I've told you countless times, He Ci is not someone you can mess with."
Wu Yan retorted, "I like men who are challenging. I don't care about those who come at the drop of a hat."
As the eldest son, Sun Hao never interfered in their affairs! As long as they didn't cause him trouble, he would turn a blind eye. This time, he also agreed with Feng Fu's statement.
“Master Feng is right. He Ci is not someone we can afford to offend. If he is unwilling to befriend us, then we cannot make him our enemy.”
Liu Jun and his men searched the streets and finally found a group of people in front of a ring toss stall. He Ci was very good at ring tossing, and the owner was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
Su Ning was holding many dolls in her arms, and Su Tian, Sun Man, and Wang Meng also had their own. The onlookers were filled with envy.
Su Ning wanted to tell He Ci that that was enough, that if they kept playing around, the boss would go bankrupt. He Ci was just trying to make a living from his small business, and He Ci was going to take over his business.
When she turned around, she saw Liu Jun leading a group of people toward them. Su Ning recognized Liu Jun as the one who had fought with He Ci on the street that day.
Su Ning thought those people had come for revenge, and all the dolls in her hands fell to the ground. He Ci noticed something was wrong.
"Little darling, what's wrong?"
Su Ning didn't speak. As He Ci turned around, Liu Jun came up to them. Liu Jun squatted down, which startled Su Ning, who hid behind He Ci.
"Don't be afraid, sister-in-law. I'm not here to cause trouble. I'll help you pick up your things."
Su Ning felt confused. She glanced at He Ci and saw that his expression was calm and without any ripples. Could there be something she didn't know?
Liu Jun stuffed the doll into Su Ning's hand, and then extended a sincere invitation to He Ci and the others from Zhuzhou.
"Brother Ci, Young Master Zhu, Brother Su, our boss is at 'Heaven and Earth,' I wonder if any of you would be interested in going over for a chat?"
He Ci came out to have fun today, and he brought Su Ning and the others with him, so he simply refused.
“Go back and tell Haozi that I’m spending today with my wife. I’ll meet up with him for tea sometime later. You guys scared my wife just now, and I don’t want to see you again today.”
Liu Jun apologized to Su Ning with a forced smile. Even Brother Hao was wary of her, so how could he not be afraid? Since he couldn't persuade her, he could only go back and tell the truth.
"Then I won't bother you any longer. Have fun, everyone. I promise I won't show up in front of you today."
After Liu Jun left, Su Ning looked unhappy. He Ci knew she must be angry, so he pitifully explained to Su Ning!
“Little darling, I’m not familiar with those people. I’ve only met them once. You can ask Zhu Zhou and your brother-in-law if you don’t believe me.”
Zhu Zhou and Su Lei had already run away by this time. They didn't want to take the blame, and He Ci was afraid that Su Ning would get angry and ignore him.
"Big brother and Zhu Zhou were involved too? What did the three of you do behind my back! If you don't explain yourself, I'll really get angry."
He Ci tugged at Su Ning's sleeve and began to feign pitifulness.
"Honey, I was wrong. I promise I'll stay away from those people from now on. Please don't be angry, since I've been so obedient."
Su Ning couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh to He Ci, so she could only make the situation sound more serious, hoping that He Ci wouldn't provoke those people.
"Brother Ci! This isn't Hong Kong. You have no background or status here. Those people are local bullies. No matter how capable you are, there will always be times when you can't defend yourself. I don't want anything to happen to you!"
He Ci held Su Ning in his arms. He knew the seriousness of the matter. If the previous incident wasn't resolved, it would always be a ticking time bomb. He was the one who had made Su Ning worry.
