Chapter Fifteen: Qian Jin Hall (Rush Rankings, Seeking Recommendation Votes!)
This solitary family, from old to young, has a not-so-good habit, which is extremely protective of their own. Especially Dugu Unbeatable, the father of Dugu Xiaoyi, who is so protective that he's almost unreasonable, and can be called the Empire's number one softie. If someone dares to bully his daughter, Dugu Unbeatable would even mobilize a large army to take revenge immediately.
This kind of reckless and lawless rolling knife meat, who dares to provoke? Jun Mo Xie has his old master's protection, but Dugu Xiao Yi still dares to discipline him. It's not that Jun Mo Xie's old master can't handle Dugu Wu Ji, the invincible general, but rather because if the old master were to take action, Dugu's old master would definitely stand up against him as well, due to his protective nature towards his son, which he inherited from his own father. Therefore, in Jun Mo Xie's memory, the person he fears the most is first Dugu Xiao Yi, and second is his own grandfather, Jun Zhan Tian. After all, his grandfather only lectures him and doesn't really hit him, but if he were to fall into this lady's hands, he would definitely be beaten mercilessly, and it would be a beating for nothing!
Lian Jun is a "giant" figure that no one dares to provoke, let alone other wealthy young masters!
And now, this little princess of the Dugu family has actually come here......
"I'm powerless," Jun Xie said with a tilt of his head, spreading his hands and pointing to the small white hand still pinching his ear: "Look at me like this, what can I do? If any of you have ideas, feel free to issue an eviction order yourself, just don't say it's from me!"
"What? You don't welcome me here? Do you think this young lady doesn't have any money?" Dugu Xiao Yi glared with her phoenix eyes, clinking and clanking as she pulled out her purse, proudly swaying it back and forth, raising an eyebrow that was extremely good-looking: "I've got plenty of silver!"
A group of rascals on the verge of collapse, farting and urinating everywhere. You have a lot of silver, but the problem is: who dares to win your money? Whoever wins your silver, your old man will bring an army to our doorstep to collect debts the next day, and that's still okay. But if Old Master Dugu comes with a whim and drops by our house for a visit... can we still live?
Tang Yuan didn't care what they thought, his eyes had already flared up with anger: "Don't mention those useless things, hurry up and return my stuff to me! Jun San Shao has already arrived and can't run away. This is what you promised me! A real man's words are credible, without credibility, one cannot stand in the world!"
Even with your calm demeanor, after hearing the fat kid's last words, you almost vomited. With your character and behavior, how dare you still call yourself a great man? Don't tarnish the name of being a great man!
Among the six young men, the one with a calm expression was named Li Feng, and he was the grandson of Taishi Li Shang. The two young men standing behind him were Li Zhen and Li Lin, who were his brothers. Standing next to him was a slender youth with a small mustache, whose eyes were deep and profound, and he was Meng Haizhou, the eldest son of the Minister of the Board of War, Meng Jianghu. The two people standing behind him were named Meng Liang and Meng Fei, who were also members of the Meng family.
Li Feng's face was all smiles as he said, "Miss Dugu has arrived, we welcome you but haven't had time to react yet, please come in quickly!" He turned his head and said with a smile, "Serve Miss Dugu well! If Miss Dugu is not satisfied, I'll skin you alive!" Turning back, still smiling, he gave Meng Haizhou a signal and said, "Now that Jun San Shao has arrived, this joke should end. Look at Tang Da Gongzi, he's so anxious he's sweating. A man born under the heavens, how can he speak without keeping his word? Let's return that thing to him first."
Meng Haizhou nodded and said to Tang Yuan, "Tang, I can give you the things, but that 1.5 million taels of silver is absolutely non-negotiable!" Tang Yuan only wanted to retrieve the IOU, as for the 1.5 million taels of silver, although it was not a small sum, he didn't mind, and he repeatedly agreed.
He coldly watched from the sidelines, with only a cold smile in his heart. Although Tang Yuan was indeed afraid of this matter, these two people were not necessarily completely unscrupulous! Even if Tang Yuan didn't invite himself over, they would still not dare to recklessly make public the IOU from Tang Yuan, because that would inevitably lead to a full-force counterattack from both the Tang and Sun families. They would be regarded as sworn enemies by these two families, ultimately ending in mutual destruction! So this matter seemed very big, but actually, once you see through it, it's not that serious. Their goal was still on himself!
But after Tang Yuan got back the IOU, he no longer had such worries and would inevitably spread rumors to attack the Tang family. This is a foreseeable thing.
"What's making Tang Da Shao so anxious? Let me take a look, it's good to broaden my horizons!" Dugu Xiao Yi was clearly not willing to be left out, with an extremely strong curiosity. Seeing Tang Yuan holding a piece of paper in his hand, with a relieved expression on his face, she suddenly felt very curious and stretched out her small white hand.
Tang Yuan's face turned bitter, and with a speed as swift as lightning, he crumpled the paper into his mouth, chewed twice, stretched his neck and swallowed it down. He smacked his lips, looking completely innocent. It was hard to believe that his thick neck could stretch out like a giraffe in an instant!
"Death, fat, child, you dare to play with me? How bold!" Dugu Xiao Yi suddenly became furious, baring his teeth and pouncing on him, grabbing Tang Yuan's collar and lifting up his nearly 400-pound body, angrily shouting: "Hurry up and spit it out for me!"
The other seven people, including Jun Xie, were all staring with their eyebrows raised, secretly swallowing a few mouthfuls of saliva, their mouths crooked and eyes slanted, their lips pale and faces white.
"Cough, that Dugu Miss, actually the note didn't say much; Jun San Shao has been confined by Old Master Jun for some time and can't come out, everyone misses him a lot; just made a bet with Tang Pangzi, the paper wrote 'come or not' three words, if Jun San Shao doesn't come, then I'll eat this note, if Jun San Shao comes, then it's Tang Pangzi who eats; yeah, that's all, simple thing, Tang Pangzi is indeed a man of his word, haha."
Meng Haizhou dryly laughed twice and quickly came out to mediate, this person actually has some quick wit, just a few words and the situation was smoothed over seamlessly. If by any chance Tang Pangzi really spat out that note and Dugu Xiaoyi saw its contents, then things would have become a big deal!
Jun Xie raised an eyebrow, casting a glance at Meng Haizou, thinking to himself that this person was able to come up with such a flawless excuse in such a short amount of time, and say it out with a straight face, without batting an eyelid. It's clear that he's not a simple character. To be honest, just now, Jun Xie had almost decided to secretly make Tang Baozi cough up the note, thoroughly using Du Gu Xiao Yi's hands to stir up this storm. However, Tang Baozi, although not well-behaved, was after all Jun Mo Xie's good friend. Moreover, wanting to deal with the several spoiled brats in front of him, Jun Xie was confident that he could make them lose face with just a few moves. In the end, he reluctantly gave up on this idea! However, if by any chance... it would still be necessary to... cough cough cough...
Dugu Xiaoyi looked at the crowd with a mixture of doubt and suspicion, but the crowd immediately nodded in agreement: "That's right, no mistake." Only then did they put Tang Yuan down.
Tang Yuan's face was almost purple from being choked, and he dry-heaved several times, afraid that he would vomit out the paper ball, but finally managed to hold it back.
"Please come in, everyone." Li Feng was the master of this mansion and showed a respectful attitude towards his guests.
He smiled slyly, put on a domineering air, walked in with big strides, sat down on an armchair with a thud, and swung his legs up, looking like the epitome of a rogue's demeanor.
Dugu Xiaoyi's eyebrows furrowed deeply, and he suddenly became extremely displeased, almost going to kick him again.
"Aren't you thinking of me? It just so happens that I'm also thinking of your money..." He smiled slyly, "What do you want to play? Let's make a bet."
