Chapter 21: Ye Huang is a Big Fool

"You... you, we'll see about this!" Mu Tianzhi, even if he were a fool, knew he wouldn't gain anything today. He stammered and made a show of it, then pulled his mistress away, leaving in a hurry. However, before leaving, he didn't forget to take the two hundred-dollar bills from the table, saying that it was equivalent to one-tenth of his monthly salary.

Mu Tianzhi's actions drew many disdainful looks from the customers in the hot pot restaurant. Even his mistress felt embarrassed by his behavior but had no choice but to follow him out of the restaurant in a hurry, as he was her sugar daddy.

"Leaving just like that? I thought he would play with me a bit more, what a bore!" Seeing Mu Tianzhi slink away, Ye Huang was taken aback. He thought this guy had some real skills, but it turned out he was just putting on a show.

Ye Huang chuckled, closed his suitcase, and left three hundred-dollar bills on the table before preparing to leave. He had no mood to continue eating after what happened today.

The many onlookers made way for Ye Huang as he left, thinking that although this young man wasn't very showy, he didn't seem like someone who would take a loss.

"Sir, please wait a moment!" Just as Ye Huang was about to leave the hot pot restaurant, the manager's voice called out from behind him. Turning around, he saw the mature woman manager hurrying over in quick steps.

Seeing her graceful figure rushing towards him, Ye Huang smiled inwardly. Could it be that breast enhancement technology is so advanced now? Why are there so many big-breasted women?

"Is there something you need?" The mature woman manager had clearly been on his side earlier, so Ye Huang was very friendly towards her.

"I'm very sorry for the disturbance today. This is our VIP gold card. You can eat at our restaurant for free in the future. I hope you can forget today's unpleasantness." Jiang Yan held the gold card in both hands, looking very sincere.

"Aren't you afraid I'll eat your restaurant out of business if I come every day?" Seeing her big, lively eyes filled with sincerity, Ye Huang smiled and took the gold card, half-jokingly.

"Hehe, don't worry, even if you come every day, you won't eat us out of business." Jiang Yan's face turned red as she saw Ye Huang's eyes roving over her body while he spoke, and she replied softly.

"Haha, since you say so, I'll definitely come more often. After all, there's a beautiful manager here to look at." Ye Huang smiled, glanced at the mature woman who exuded a sense of sophistication, and then left the hot pot restaurant.

Behind him, Jiang Yan watched Ye Huang's retreating figure, her face showing the allure of a mature woman. It was undeniable that the young man who left had brought a bit of green back to her heart, which had been barren for many years.

"Yan Jie, what are you looking at! You didn't even greet me when you saw me come." Just as Jiang Yan was lost in thought, a police car stopped in front of Ke Lai Ju. Xiao Lin, the fiery girl, got out of the car. Seeing her good friend standing at the door, she thought Jiang Yan was there to greet her, but upon closer inspection, she realized she had been mistaken. She pouted, looking indignant.

"You little brat, aren't you afraid of being reported for using a police car for personal errands?" Jiang Yan, coming back to her senses, lightly tapped Xiao Lin's forehead, scolding her with a smile, her eyes filled with affection for her much younger friend.

"Pfft! Today I solved two major cases for the bureau. They would be more than happy to curry favor with me. Who would dare to report me? Besides, I'm here to gather evidence, hehe." Shaking Jiang Yan's arm, Xiao Lin pouted and acted like a spoiled little girl, a sight that would have made Ye Huang think he was seeing a ghost. The Xiao Lin beauty was like Sun Ergniang to him, but how could she be so different with someone else?

"You're always right. Come on, let's go in. What do you want to eat today?" Glancing at the carefree Xiao Lin, Jiang Yan smiled and led her into the hot pot restaurant.

"I want something nourishing and beautifying! By the way, Yan Jie, who were you looking at just now? You seemed so absorbed. Could it be your prince charming?"

"Do you think I'm still at an age where I can have a prince charming?" Jiang Yan laughed, but the image of Ye Huang's devilishly handsome face flashed in her mind.

Over the years, Jiang Yan had met many boys who made her heart flutter, but only Ye Huang gave her a sense of security. Unfortunately, she knew nothing about him.

"So it's a man? Hehe, I must see him someday. I want to know what kind of man Yan Jie would send to the door!" Pouting, Xiao Lin said, acting like a judge.

"What are you talking about? He's just a customer who came to eat. He had an unpleasant experience today, so I apologized and saw him off." Jiang Yan said somewhat insincerely. In fact, her private motives played a significant role in her decision to see him off.

"What! Yan Jie, don't tell me some no-good is trying to extort protection money again?" Xiao Lin's eyes immediately flashed with anger, reverting to her usual efficient self.

"No! It was something else." Jiang Yan then recounted to her friend what had happened to Ye Huang while eating hot pot. Xiao Lin relaxed once she learned it wasn't about protection money.

However, when Jiang Yan mentioned the man carrying a silver suitcase, Xiao Lin's brow furrowed. She couldn't help but think of the thug who had annoyed her several times today.

But thinking that a fool would carry a suitcase around all day, she didn't press the matter further.

Little did she know, it was precisely this big fool, Ye Huang, who had carried a suitcase around all day in Yucheng. If Ye Huang knew that the mature woman manager of the hot pot restaurant and the fiery Xiao Lin were friends, he wouldn't have gone there even if given a diamond card.

That girl, he would avoid her if he could!
