"Ms. Shuang, what’s wrong with you?" Dan Hongning saw that Ruan Qingshuang’s face was not good and asked cautiously, puzzled. In the two times he had interacted with her, this big sister had never put on a stern face for him.

Ruan Qingshuang looked up at Dan Hongning, thinking about what Xu Yun had said yesterday about making her the big sister. She gritted her teeth and said, "Dan Hongning, take me to Shuangyu International School. My daughter has gotten into some trouble."

Dan Hongning didn’t dare to say anything more upon hearing this. He immediately instructed the chef Ruan Qingshuang had chosen to stay while the others left. Then he quickly went to the backyard to get the car, and after inviting Ruan Qingshuang in, he drove straight to Shuangyu International School.

The car sped along, and Dan Hongning quickly delivered Ruan Qingshuang. It was still about ten minutes before the school let out. Ruan Qingshuang got out of the car at the school gate, registered at the security office, and then headed directly to Su Xiaoran’s office.

Without a word from the big sister, Dan Hongning naturally didn’t dare to leave privately. He parked the car in an empty spot at the school gate, then opened the window and leisurely lit a cigarette.

Today, Dan Hongning had also tasted the medicinal cuisine made from Ruan Qingshuang’s family recipe. It was indeed very delicious. With his years of experience in the food industry, he could tell that this would definitely create a craze in Hedong.

Dan Hongning really didn’t expect that after encountering the god-like Qiu Yan, he would turn a misfortune into a blessing. Although he had gone from being the big brother to following someone else, he felt he had chosen the right person. At least on the first day, Sister Shuang and Brother Yun had given him a new way to make money.

Thinking about having another way to earn money in the future, Dan Hongning couldn’t help but smile. He planned to replace his Audi Q5 next year with a larger Q7...

Several cars suddenly stopped in the parking spot opposite Dan Hongning. A few young men dressed in flashy clothes, clearly hooligans, got out and swaggered towards the school gate.

Dan Hongning was speechless. When he was in school, he used to extort money from students at junior high and high school gates. He never thought that the hooligans of today would come to the elementary school gate. It was truly a sign of decline, and no wonder there were many parents waiting to pick up their children near the school.

Soon, the school bell rang, and the entrance of Shuangyu International School instantly turned into a bustling market. Students leaving school and parents picking up their children were in a chaotic mess. Some older students who came by bus or bicycle also flooded out of the school.

Dan Hongning threw away his cigarette and stepped on it, keeping a close eye on when the big sister, Ruan Qingshuang, would come out.

After about ten minutes, the crowd at the school gate had thinned out. Dan Hongning quickly saw Ruan Qingshuang and the beautiful teacher, Su Xiaoran, who had dined with him at his hot pot restaurant, leading Guo Guo out of the school.

However, before Dan Hongning could go up to greet them, the flashy-dressed hooligans surrounded them.

The parents who had come to pick up their children saw this and quickly pulled their children away, not wanting to get involved. No one wanted to be the innocent bystander who got hurt.

Su Xiaoran was startled and quickly recognized the well-dressed man standing behind the flashy-dressed hooligans: "Mr. Sun Haoran?! What are you doing here!"

The man, the father of the chubby boy, snorted: "Teacher, I’m just worried about my son. This brat said her mother is a gang leader. I’m just worried that my son’s life is in danger, so I had to do this!"

"Pfft, do you think I’m scaring you?" Guo Guo was not intimidated at all. She was annoyed to see the father of the chubby boy, Sun Haoran, again!

Ruan Qingshuang had already heard the story from Su Xiaoran in the office. She pulled Guo Guo behind her and politely explained to Sun Haoran’s father: "Children don’t know any better. I hope you won’t take it to heart. If my daughter did anything wrong, I apologize on her behalf."

Faced with the gentle and well-mannered Ruan Qingshuang, a normal parent would not have been angry, but this man was different. He sneered and became even more aggressive: "Gang leader? Huh, you?"

Guo Guo, seeing that he was looking down on her mother, glared at him: "Watch your mouth!"

The man sneered and glared at Guo Guo, suddenly raising his right hand high: "What if I accidentally do something? Brat, watch me beat you to death today!"

Seeing this, Dan Hongning in the car shouted in alarm. If the big sister and the little princess were bullied in front of him, Brother Yun would surely take his life! He slammed the car door and rushed over.

Just as the man’s hand was about to slap Guo Guo’s tender face, a shadow flashed, and Qiu Yan suddenly appeared, grabbing the man’s wrist. The hand that had been about to strike was now completely immobilized!

Before the man could get angry, Qiu Yan kicked him fiercely, and his body, weighing over a hundred pounds, flew several meters away, landing on the ground in pain.

"Get lost." Qiu Yan didn’t want to make a big scene at the school gate, so she suppressed her anger and coldly spat out one word.

Ruan Qingshuang and Su Xiaoran both gasped, amazed at how powerful Qiu Yan was... Guo Guo looked at the miserable man with a smug expression, thinking to herself: Stupid son, stupid father.

The flashy-dressed hooligans, who were clearly the man’s accomplices, were initially stunned, then became furious and were about to attack Qiu Yan. Hooligans don’t care if it’s a school gate.

"Are you all looking for death?!" Dan Hongning rushed over and shouted at the hooligans: "Who are you following?"

The hooligans were about to get angry but quickly recognized Dan Hongning. Their faces froze, and one of them stammered: "Brother Ning... Why is it you?"

The title of the Three Tigers of Nancheng was not just a name in the Nancheng district of Hedong City. Hooligans would be terrified at the sight of him.

"Know who I am? Then get lost!" Dan Hongning raised his hand as if to strike, and the hooligans quickly went to help their leader, who had been kicked by the woman.

Dan Hongning turned back, worried: "Sister Shuang, Sister Yan, Teacher Su, I should have waited for you at the gate. Who would have thought these bastards would dare to provoke you..."

Qiu Yan didn’t say anything, but Ruan Qingshuang and Su Xiaoran were both shocked. Guo Guo, the culprit, seemed completely unfazed and said to Dan Hongning: "You did well. I’ll tell Dad."

"Ha, thank you, Guo Guo!" Dan Hongning was overjoyed, knowing this meant he had earned merit with Brother Yun.

"Call me Sister Guo Guo." Guo Guo, though young, was very shrewd and pouted.

Dan Hongning’s face turned black: "Sister Guo Guo..."

Oh, this isn’t a sister, this is a little princess, a princess who can’t be provoked.

The man, who had been helped up, didn’t dare to say a word. He had heard of Dan Hongning, one of the Three Tigers of Nancheng. He never thought that the little girl’s mother was really a gang leader, and even Dan Hongning bowed to her.

Moreover, the bodyguard by the gang leader’s side was terrifying. A woman could easily kick him down, and now his ribs were in excruciating pain, probably broken.

"Tell Sun Haoran to stop targeting me." Guo Guo saw the hooligans about to take the man away and reminded him.

The man, drenched in cold sweat, laughed nervously: "I won’t... I really won’t..."

Dan Hongning, who had come over for the first time, put on a serious face: "Get lost!"

The hooligans didn’t dare to say anything more and fled as fast as they could, dragging their leader to the hospital.

"Uh... This..." Su Xiaoran was shocked and uneasy. Was this too much? Could Sister Qingshuang, who seemed so good, really be a gang leader?

"Teacher Su, I’ll explain to you later." Ruan Qingshuang shook her head helplessly. Sigh, with this group of abnormal people around her, she felt abnormal too.

Guo Guo thought it was great. At least she had a ride home now.

Dan Hongning was happy to oblige, driving the three back to the medicinal cuisine restaurant. When they arrived, they coincidentally met Lu Feng’s friend delivering the tiles, and the original tiles in the restaurant had already been completely removed and cleared out.

"Isn’t this a bit wasteful?" Ruan Qingshuang was slightly taken aback. The restaurant was nearly 300 square meters, and even at a discount, these tiles would cost 60 to 70 yuan per square meter, at least 20,000 yuan in total.

Xu Yun smiled happily: "These large tiles cost only 20 yuan each!"

"Who are you fooling?" Guo Guo pouted: "Do you think I don’t know? This is a first-class brand."

Lu Feng smiled: "Guo Guo really knows her stuff. This is indeed a first-class brand. By coincidence, there’s only a little left of this model and color. If we ordered more, it wouldn’t be the same color, so he gave us a clearance price."

Guo Guo looked at the smug Lu Feng and coughed: "Call me Sister Guo Guo."

Lu Feng’s face turned red. He really couldn’t bring himself to say it, but seeing that Xu Yun didn’t blame Guo Guo and was smiling, he steeled himself: "S... Sister Guo Guo..."

"Forget it, forget it. If it’s so hard, don’t call me." Guo Guo wasn’t pleased and waved her hand, going upstairs.

Ruan Qingshuang fanned herself: "It’s so hot. I’m going upstairs to get some water. Lu Feng, if you want water, there’s tea upstairs."

"Sister Shuang, you’re busy, don’t worry about me!" Lu Feng was flattered.

Qiu Yan, as usual, didn’t say a word and followed Ruan Qingshuang upstairs.

Dan Hongning was taken aback. No one mentioned his act of bravery against the hooligans at noon. Sigh...

"How’s the medicinal cuisine business going?" Xu Yun smiled. "If we promote it more, you’ll make a lot of money."

Dan Hongning nodded quickly: "Brother Yun, I’ll go back first. It’s the first day of the medicinal cuisine, and I need to supervise it personally. I’ll do the promotion myself!"

"Go ahead!"

Lu Feng, seeing it was already noon, suggested: "Brother Yun, why don’t we go eat together?"

"No need. The kitchen here is still usable. I’ll cook today, and you can stay and eat with us." Xu Yun said calmly.

Lu Feng was thrilled to be invited to eat by Brother Yun: "Sure, Brother Yun, I’ll help you in the kitchen!"
