"If we don't move, what can you do?" Xu Yun walked out of the kitchen and directly refused the landlord's unreasonable demand: "You're an old auntie, you should know that one must be kind and leave some good karma for your descendants."
Indeed, a formidable person is formidable. His words shocked everyone. Weng Qing is Jin Biao's wife, one of the few people who can act recklessly in Hedong City!
Nancheng Three Tigers are considered to be doing well among this group, but that's only limited to the Wenhui and Hongnan districts in the south. Compared to the fallen dogs Wang Shunxi and Fan Nanjie, they still fall short.
But even those two aren't worth much in Weng Qing's eyes.
Now, Xu Yun actually called her an old auntie and indirectly said she lacked virtue... Hiss, he clearly didn't intend to give her any face at all.
Weng Qing's face, which had been expressionless, began to turn red. She almost gritted her teeth: "You little brat, no one has dared to talk to me like this before..."
"Aunt Weng, give me a chance to explain this matter." Ruan Qingshuang didn't want to offend the landlord. The rent for this place wasn't expensive when she first rented it, and she really didn't want to move. Besides, she had just spent a lot of money on renovations.
"Explain? Explaining to me won't do any good." Weng Qing said coldly: "Tomorrow, if you're still here, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Ruan Qingshuang was so upset that she, who was usually gentle and tactful, raised her voice and shouted at Weng Qing: "Will you listen to me explain clearly?"
This really scared Weng Qing. Everyone except Xu Yun and Qiu Yan was startled. Guo Guo had never seen such a mother before and quickly hid in Qin Wan'er's arms, making Xu Yun a bit envious and jealous.
Weng Qing sneered: "Getting angry with me? Xiao Ruan, when I rented the house to you, you weren't this angry. It seems your wings have grown hard now."
"It's not like that..." Ruan Qingshuang realized her raised voice and was secretly surprised.
"There's no need to explain. She's not here to listen to you; she's here to take back the house." Xu Yun stepped forward and shielded the weak Ruan Qingshuang: "Even without this reason, she can find other reasons."
After saying that, Xu Yun looked at Weng Qing: "Am I right? Auntie?"
"We'll see if your mouth is still so hard tomorrow, hmpf!" Weng Qing almost hated Xu Yun to the bone. She hated it most when men called her old. With a huff, Weng Qing turned and walked out, got into a white Lexus parked at the door, and drove away.
The originally cheerful atmosphere in the herbal restaurant became particularly oppressive and gloomy. Ruan Qingshuang seemed to take a long time to calm down. With a face full of grievances, she finally looked at Xu Yun with tearful eyes: "Xu Yun, what should I do? Help me..."
"Of course, you're my boss. Who else would I help?" Xu Yun still smiled easily, then he gave Guo Guo and Qin Wan'er a look.
Qin Wan'er quickly ran over: "Sister Shuang, you must have been very tired these past few days. Let's go upstairs."
"Right, Mom, you haven't checked Guo Guo's homework yet." Guo Guo was also very understanding.
After Qin Wan'er and Ruan Qingshuang went upstairs, Nancheng Three Tigers and the others couldn't sit still anymore.
"Brother Yun, she's the wife of the big boss Jin Biao from the east, not someone to mess with..." Shan Hongning frowned: "I never thought this place belonged to her."
Lü Feng cursed: "Damn, it looks like Jin Biao and Weng Qing have been planning to interfere in our southern area for a long time!"
"That's right." Kong Zhong also drew a cold breath: "Wang Shunxi and Fan Nanjie have both fallen, and the whole underworld thinks our southern two districts are leaderless. Although Sister Shuang's name is strong now, she's still new, and the big bosses won't take her seriously. Weng Qing might have come because she heard about the changes in our southern area."
Qiangzi finally recovered: "So, she really came to deliberately cause trouble?"
Xu Yun's lips curled up: "Of course, she came prepared. She wasn't surprised to see all of you gathered in the herbal restaurant, clearly she knew about it beforehand."
"Then she still dared to come alone?" Qiangzi gritted his teeth. Damn, how disrespectful!
"Even if she came alone, would you dare to touch her?" Xu Yun's question was simple.
Everyone was stunned, swallowing their saliva and lowering their heads. Indeed, no matter how arrogant Weng Qing was, they didn't dare to touch her, being Jin Biao's wife, no one wanted to be an enemy of the big boss from the east...
Qiangzi didn't speak for a long time. Brother Yun was too direct, making him lose face.
Kong Zhong weakly asked: "Brother Yun, what should we do? Do we... have to move the shop just after opening?"
This question was too harsh. If they didn't want to offend Jin Biao, what else could they do besides moving?
"Of course not." Xu Yun's words were straightforward.
"Brother, are you really going to confront Jin Biao?" Lü Feng spread his thumb and index finger, still trembling: "Jin Biao has a lot of real weapons, and he has shot many people."
Shan Hongning also wilted at this topic: "Among the east, west, south, and north of Hedong City, we in the south are the weakest. If we really fight, we will definitely be at a disadvantage."
"I have two old guns, but if we use guns, the police... " Kong Zhong couldn't help but look at the stairs: "Can Officer Qin protect us?"
"If you dare to shoot, she will arrest you. Hand over your guns quickly." Xu Yun waved his hand: "What happens in the future is for the future. You eat what you should eat, and play what you should play. This matter has nothing to do with you."
After a pause, Xu Yun continued: "And, no one should bring people here tomorrow. Do you understand me?"
This courage!
It was truly admirable!
Weng Qing had come to the door, and tomorrow she would come to shut them down. Now, Xu Yun could still say such words, how could this not make these tough people in the underworld admire him? The person they dared not provoke was nothing to Xu Yun.
Sometimes, one person's courage can influence a group. No one knew who bought the alcohol, but a hundred or so people surrounded Xu Yun to toast him. They drank for two or three hours, and it seemed they even forgot the threat from Jin Biao's wife, Weng Qing.
After ensuring the surroundings were safe, Qiu Yan returned to the herbal restaurant. By then, Xu Yun was already drunk, after all, a hundred or so people had toasted him! Even a god of alcohol has limits, let alone Xu Yun, who is human.
"Enough!" Qiu Yan suddenly shouted: "If you don't want to live, keep making him drink!"
The Fox Lord's anger was terrifying. Nancheng Three Tigers exchanged glances and then told everyone: "Let's call it a day. Everyone has eaten and drunk enough. Sister Shuang needs to rest, and Brother Yun is almost drunk. Let's all go!"
Everyone dispersed, and the herbal restaurant finally returned to peace.
"Sister Yan, let's take Brother Yun upstairs." Kong Zhong and Shan Hongning supported Xu Yun, thinking that Brother Yun's build didn't look so robust, but he was unexpectedly heavy. They both struggled, and Lü Feng had to help from behind.
Qiu Yan coldly said, "No need," and walked over, directly supporting the drunk Xu Yun with one hand: "You all go."
The three didn't say more and quickly left.
Qiu Yan took Xu Yun upstairs. Ruan Qingshuang and Qin Wan'er were too preoccupied to sleep, but Guo Guo had already gone to bed.
Seeing Xu Yun in this state, Ruan Qingshuang was both angry and heartbroken. Qin Wan'er kicked Xu Yun, frustrated: "What a failure, how could you drink so much."
"Stop talking, I'll make some hot honey water to sober him up." Ruan Qingshuang got up to prepare.
"No need." Qiu Yan said: "I have a way to sober him up faster."
Saying that, Qiu Yan walked straight to the bathroom, opened the door, and threw Xu Yun under the shower. Without a word, she turned on the cold water and left, slamming the door.
Damn! Xu Yun shivered from the cold water, and he was seen through by Qiu Yan! Sigh, Xu Yun sighed, he had no choice but to pretend to be drunk, otherwise, he would have been drunk by that group of people.
After Qiu Yan left, she told Ruan Qingshuang and Qin Wan'er: "Go to sleep, he'll be fine soon."
Hearing Qiu Yan's words, the two nodded half in doubt.
Xu Yun adjusted the water temperature, took off his clothes, and had a comfortable shower. He wasn't worried about what the landlord would do tomorrow. He would never back down, and if that woman dared to get tough, he wouldn't be gentle either.
After the shower, Xu Yun thought of a problem. Qiu Yan, the bastard, only cared about making him suffer but not about helping him. She turned on the water and left without bringing him clean clothes. Was she going to make him go out naked?
Sigh, drying the water droplets on his body, Xu Yun was secretly relieved that they were all asleep at this hour, otherwise, how could he go out?
Xu Yun, dressed like a primitive man, quickly opened the bathroom door and tiptoed back to his room, the whole process smooth and fluid.
He didn't know that Ruan Qingshuang, worried, had left the door slightly ajar and was watching outside. So, every move, every smile, and every step of Xu Yun was imprinted in Ruan Qingshuang's eyes.
Only when Xu Yun disappeared into his room did Ruan Qingshuang snap back to reality and quickly shut the door! Her heart was like a little deer, thumping wildly.
She had just seen Xu Yun naked, and she had stared at him until he disappeared behind the door. When did she become so... so... Ruan Qingshuang's mind was a mess.
"Mom." Guo Guo suddenly spoke, startling Ruan Qingshuang.
"Why isn't Guo Guo asleep yet?" Ruan Qingshuang was still shaken and then widened her eyes: "You... you didn't see anything, right?"
Guo Guo looked puzzled: "Uh? What's wrong, Mom?"
Hearing that Guo Guo seemed to have seen nothing, Ruan Qingshuang was relieved: "Nothing, go to sleep. You have to get up early for school tomorrow."
Guo Guo turned over and said indifferently: "It's just Dad coming out of the shower without clothes. What's the big deal, it's too dark to see anything clearly..."
A bolt of lightning struck Ruan Qingshuang. Her body stiffened instantly. Her unintentional peeping had been discovered by this little rascal... How could she, as a mother, bear this!
