Chapter 1114: Go Outside and Stand in the Rain
After Wang Luoxin spoke, almost everyone was stunned for a moment. Just now, when Ye Xiao was talking to He Huawei, everyone present had a very familiar feeling. Now they finally understood, this feels exactly like a father scolding his son.
With Wang Luoxin's reminder, He Huawei's anger suddenly flared up.
"Apologize!" This was what Ye Xiao said.
He Huawei's anger rose, but before he could speak, Ye Xiao had already spoken.
"What did you say?" He Huawei felt this was utter nonsense. He had been slapped by Ye Xiao, and yet he was expected to apologize.
"What did I say, you couldn't hear?" Ye Xiao looked at his fist and said, "I can guarantee that if you don't apologize, I won't beat you to death."
"You dare!" He Huawei was very scared at this moment, but still forced himself to be brave.
After all, at this moment, there were too many people around. If he apologized, wouldn't that just tell everyone present that he was afraid of Ye Xiao?
People, you know, always want to save face even when they clearly can't handle it.
Smack!
Another slap landed on He Huawei's face. Now, there were slap marks on both sides of his face.
He Huawei almost fell from the slap, and the onlookers were also stunned.
Has a bad guy met an even worse guy?
This time, Ye Xiao didn't wait for He Huawei to speak again. Instead, he grabbed He Huawei by the neck with one hand, pressed him to the ground, and said with a cold smile: "Why do you always like to test my patience? We could clearly have been friends."
At this moment, He Huawei widened his eyes. He couldn't believe what was in Ye Xiao's mind, actually daring to hit him in front of so many people. Wasn't he afraid of being taken away by the police? Oh right, He Huawei remembered, the people from the Jinling District Guard Bureau were with him.
"I... I apologize!" He Huawei finally gave in. After all, if he persisted, there'd definitely be more suffering.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "That's the spirit. An apology should be sincere."
As Ye Xiao spoke, he stood up, smiling as if nothing had happened.
He Huawei stood up again, looking very embarrassed. Indeed, it was very embarrassing. He had been very arrogant earlier, but now, he had to bow his head.
"I'm sorry!" He Huawei said helplessly to Xia Mingyue, even though he now felt really humiliated.
Xia Mingyue didn't look at him, but instead said to Fang Jing, "Let's head upstairs quickly."
"Alright!" Fang Jing said with a smile.
Seeing that Xia Mingyue ignored him, He Huawei immediately turned his head to look at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao said, "It seems the beauties are not very happy. How about this, you go outside and get drenched in the rain. Consider it penance, what do you think?"
He Huawei stared at Ye Xiao, even more angry. This was sheer humiliation.
Seeing He Huawei looking at him all the time, Ye Xiao smiled mildly and said, "Do you think this isn't enough? Perhaps I should think of something else?"
He Huawei's eyes were full of anger, but eventually, he turned and walked outside. He was indeed going to get drenched.
Meanwhile, in the central area of the lobby, four or five of He Huawei's men were still playing 'stacking dumplings' and didn't even look at He Huawei as he passed by and went straight out.
At this moment, it was pouring rain outside. He Huawei got drenched the moment he stepped out.
Who knew, since it was already winter, how there could be such a heavy rainstorm. Clearly, tomorrow was bound to be very cold.
"Ye Xiao, isn't this too much?" Xia Mingyue looked at Ye Xiao with some lingering fear and said.
Ye Xiao smiled slightly, then looked at Wang Luoxin and said, "So, are you satisfied?"
"You should have beaten him up first, and then sent him out in the rain," Wang Luoxin said to Ye Xiao with a serious face.
"..."
Then the three girls went straight upstairs.
This little episode obviously wouldn't affect everyone's mood for dinner.
"Stop staring and clean up," Ye Xiao looked at the nearby lobby manager, who was in a daze, and said with a smile.
The female lobby manager heard Ye Xiao's words and then snapped out of it. After hesitating for a moment, she still walked over to Ye Xiao and said in a low voice with some embarrassment, "Thank you!"
Ye Xiao smiled slightly and said, "Why thank me? Do you really think I'm a good person? It's best not to get too close to me. Who knows, my personality might not be much different from that guy earlier. Still, hurry and deal with it."
After speaking, Ye Xiao walked straight to the stairs.
The female lobby manager stood there stunned for a full five seconds. Then she turned to look at Ye Xiao, who was almost upstairs. Her eyes showed a complicated expression.
"Where have you been?"
When Wang Luoxin, Xia Mingyue, and Fang Jing walked into the Rose Hall, Cheng Yun immediately looked up and asked them.
Wang Luoxin said, "It's nothing, just ran into some mad dogs downstairs, eyes are fine now."
"Mad dogs?" Ye Ziyan heard what Wang Luoxin said and said with a surprised face, "How come I didn't hear any barking? This room's soundproofing is pretty good. By the way, how come there are mad dogs in the restaurant!"
"Hehe, who says there aren't any mad dogs in a restaurant? If you order dog meat, see if they have any. Oh, by the way, dog meat is supposed to be very nourishing, right, Zhou Hao?" At this moment, Ye Xiao walked in from outside, chuckling as he spoke.
Zhou Hao looked up at Ye Xiao who was speaking, paused for a moment, and then said, "I think it is!"
"So, do you want a bit of a boost?" Ye Xiao said with a smile.
"To boost or not to boost, that is the question," Zhou Hao said, looking at Ye Xiao.
"Forget I said anything!" Ye Xiao headed straight for his throne, but when he got halfway, he noticed Wang Luoxin sitting there, so he immediately claimed his territory.
"That's my seat!"
Wang Luoxin raised an eyebrow and said in dissatisfaction, "How do you know it's your seat? Did it have your name on it?"
"Alright, if you want to sit there, I don't care!" Ye Xiao shrugged.
At this moment, Ye Ziyan immediately said to Wang Luoxin, "Sister, this is the paying seat."
"Who said so!" Wang Luoxin asked domineeringly.
Ye Ziyan pointed at the waitress in the room and said, "She did."
The waitress immediately stammered nervously, "It's the restaurant owner's rule."
"Alright then, listen up, the one paying today is this guy, no matter where he sits, he's paying." Wang Luoxin pointed at Ye Xiao and said seriously.
"That's not fair!" Ye Xiao immediately retorted. A man of principles, Ye Xiao would never bow to evil forces, no matter who they were.
"Alright then, do you want to pay or not," Wang Luoxin said.
Ye Xiao cleared his throat, speaking earnestly, "I do. I'm proud of it!"
"Okay, let's order then!" Wang Luoxin shifted her gaze from Ye Xiao and said.
The shredded pork in soy sauce flavor was ordered by Ye Ziyan.
Because, when Ye Xiao arrived, he said he wanted to eat that, but in the end, he regretted it.
Aside from the shredded pork in soy sauce, none of the dishes ordered by others were under two hundred yuan.
Bear in mind, many dishes only had a little portion, which made Ye Xiao seriously doubt the household management skills of these women.
Originally, Ye Xiao thought this meal was supposed to help bring Zhou Hao and Cheng Yun closer, but right as they started eating, Cheng Yun asked to switch places with Ye Xiao, saying something about letting Ye Xiao and Zhou Hao sit together.
Then, the five women ate and chatted away, discussing everything from underwear, cosmetics, bags, and anything girls are interested in, chatting enthusiastically.
While Ye Xiao and Zhou Hao occasionally glanced at the five women.
"We're really redundant here," Ye Xiao said resignedly, looking at Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao felt the same way, nodded, raised his glass, and said, "Boss, everything's in the drink, let's drink."
So the two of them drank glass after glass here.
"By the way, the medicinal herbs you sent over have all been processed. Quickly distribute some of the medicines, and keep some for the brothers of Blood Blade," Ye Xiao said.
Zhou Hao was taken aback by Ye Xiao's words, looked at Ye Xiao, and said, "So soon? Are you mass-producing?"
Hearing this, Ye Xiao smiled slightly, "I got hold of a treasure, so I can produce in bulk. I'll show you when there's time."
"That must be quite a treasure!" Zhou Hao said with a laugh.
Who knows how long they drank for, anyway, when Ye Xiao and Zhou Hao came out of the Rose Room, they were leaning on each other, or rather, they had their arms around each other's shoulders.
"Weren't those two supposed to have a high alcohol tolerance? How much did they actually drink?" Cheng Yun said with some curiosity, "It seems like there were only two empty white wine bottles on the table."
Ye Ziyan quickly said, "Didn't you see there are three more empty bottles under their table? The two of them drank five jin."
"No wonder!" Cheng Yun said, looking at the two wobbling figures ahead, "Why drink so much?"
"Why? Feeling sorry for them?" Ye Ziyan immediately chuckled and said, "Sister Yun, seems like your heart has already given in."
"Who's given in?" Cheng Yun immediately gave Ye Ziyan a side-eye and said, "What do you know, you little rascal?"
"Actually, Zhou Hao isn't too bad," Wang Luoxin followed from behind with a laugh.
"What's good about him?" Cheng Yun stubbornly said, "Which man can't pester you?"
Wang Luoxin, Xia Mingyue, and Fang Jing, hearing Cheng Yun's words, chuckled and said nothing more.
As everyone went downstairs, Ye Xiao wobbled over to pay the bill, entered the wrong password twice in a row, fortunately, the third time he got it right, and then he walked outside.
"It's quite cold!"
Outside, a chilly wind howled, and it was still raining, which felt colder than snow.
"Let's go with umbrellas!" Ye Xiao laughed heartily, greeting the cold wind excitedly.
But just as Ye Xiao said this, several car headlights suddenly appeared from the opposite side, the strong light momentarily blinded everyone.
