▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
The words came out of Shen Ran's mouth, who was begging for food.
Li Zilan, sitting opposite, wore a smoky makeup and smiled meaningfully.
She stared into Shen Ran's eyes, revealing a gleam of desire.
Those who were familiar with her could tell she was looking for trouble.
Shen Ran didn't notice Li Zilan's expression. His tone was calm but with a touch of drama.
"The beggar was bullied by many children in the west city. One night, he was beaten up and left freezing next to the trash bin. It was a miserable sight.
By the way, it was winter back then, and the beggar was poorly dressed, almost naked. Such people would disappear every day in the west city.
The owner of the wonton shop took pity on the beggar and brought him inside. Like the two boys before, he served the beggar a bowl of wonton.
And just like the previous two boys, after finishing the wonton, the beggar also disappeared."
Li Zilan stirred the remaining wontons in her bowl with chopsticks.
She cheerfully said to Qiao Xi, "Young Master, you should know that there's a reason why the wontons in this shop are delicious. The most important thing in food is the ingredients."
Qiao Xi's face turned pale.
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
He seemed to understand something, but he couldn't believe it.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but an uncontrollable urge to vomit surged up.
Shen Ran continued to smile at him, his eyes narrowed, "Young Master, do you understand now?"
No, I don't want to understand!
Qiao Xi's face turned white, and he tightly pursed his thin lips.
The nervousness made him want to swallow, but he couldn't control it and swallowed his saliva, still carrying the delicious taste of the wontons.
This suppressed urge to vomit surged madly.
In the end, Qiao Xi couldn't hold it anymore and bent over.
"Ugh!"
He vomited all the wontons he had eaten before.
Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan glanced at each other, with a teasing smile in their eyes.
"What's going on?"
The owner of the wonton shop heard the commotion and came out, holding a cleaver in his hand, stained with minced meat from some unknown animal.
Qiao Xi saw it and vomited even more dramatically.
"Ugh! Ugh!"
He almost vomited up all the wontons he had previously eaten.
Just the thought of the imagined scene made him feel terrible.
This kind of shadow left him completely drained of strength.
Su Wang waved at the wonton shop owner, "Uncle Li, it's alright. Kids can't handle jokes, he's just adjusting."
"Don't bully the child. He seems well-behaved."
Uncle Li placed the cleaver on the crude cashier counter and took a pack of cheap tissue from the table, walking over.
He handed the tissue to Qiao Xi, "Kid, wipe your mouth. These three are the unruly demons, don't compare yourself to them."
From his tone, it seemed that he was familiar with Su Wang and the other two.
Qiao Xi raised his eyes, and Uncle Li's hands were also stained with bits of minced meat.
With just one glance, Qiao Xi made another earth-shattering retching sound.
"Ugh!"
This time, he vomited stomach acid.
While standing up and moving away from Uncle Li, he continued to retch.
"You, stay away from me!"
In Qiao Xi's eyes, Uncle Li had already been imagined as a deranged killer, a terrifying executioner.
Uncle Li's hand, holding a napkin, paused in mid-air.
He couldn't understand why this handsome boy in front of him had such a strong aversion towards him.
"Hahaha..."
Li Zilan, Su Wang, and Shen Ran burst into laughter.
They laughed non-stop, and Uncle Li realized that the three of them must be behind this prank.
He approached them and tapped each of them on the head, demanding, "Tell me, what mischief have you been up to again?"
Li Zilan held her head where she was tapped, wearing an innocent and wronged expression.
"We didn't do anything to him. He's just a coward!"
Qiao Xi, who was hiding behind Su Wang, trembled at their words.
Was it just a matter of being a coward?
Every cell in his body protested whenever he thought about the meat he had just eaten.
If he could turn back time, half an hour ago, he would definitely not have followed the three of them into this shady restaurant.
If he could turn back further in time, he promised not to cause any trouble, giving his sister-in-law no reason to abandon him in the western city.
This place was like a living hell, too terrifying.
He wanted to return to Italy and find his parents!
Uncle Li, the owner of the wonton shop, also noticed that Josh was visibly frightened.
He placed the tissue on the table and let out a sigh.
Pointing at Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan, he said, "You three are still so mischievous, even at this age, still fooling around."
"Uncle Li, you've got it wrong," Shen Ran pointed at Josh. "This kid made a mistake and was handed over to us by Qin Xiaowu. We're only responsible for taking care of him. Look at him, he's perfectly fine. We provide him with food and shelter. Isn't that good enough?"
"Qin Xiaowu?" Uncle Li's expression drastically changed, followed by a burst of joy.
"Xiaowu has come back? How is she now? Are her family treating her well? Has she been bullied?"
Su Wang, who had communicated with Qin Ruoxi, had the most say in this matter.
He said to Uncle Li, "Xiaowu is doing okay. She should be better off than in the western city."
Recalling the recent conversation with Qin Ruoxi, Su Wang believed that Qin Ruan's life couldn't be as carefree as it was in the western city.
Qiao Xi, who was hiding behind Su Wang, endured physical and mental discomfort, silently complaining about how his sister-in-law couldn't be doing well.
She was now the top lady in the capital, the daughter-in-law of the Hou family, capable of making waves.
Qiao Xi dared not say a word. He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would vomit out all his internal organs.
Upon hearing that Qin Xiaowu wasn't doing well, the joy on Uncle Li's rough face vanished.
He furrowed his brows tightly and asked, "She's not doing well?"
"Not exactly poorly, but rather, she's not as free as she was in the western city. Xiaowu has already gotten married."
Li Zilan pointed at Qiao Xi, who was hiding behind Su Wang. "Xiaowu's husband is his cousin. We don't know what kind of person he is, but he managed to deceive Xiaowu."
Uncle Li's gaze swiftly shifted to Qiao Xi.
He wanted to ask about Xiaowu.
But realizing that Xiaowu had already left the western city, and considering how difficult it must have been for her to climb out of the mud, he shouldn't have any further involvement with people from the western city.
Uncle Li forced a smile, revealing a gentler expression than crying, and asked Josh, "Child, what else would you like to eat? I'll make it for you. Xiaowu loved my wontons. Sometimes, she could eat two bowls. I'll make another bowl for you with my special thick soup."
Upon hearing about his special thick soup, Josh's mind conjured up dark images once again.
His eyes widened, and he instinctively gagged, clutching Su Wang's back.
"Ugh!"
Uncle Li was dumbfounded. "What's wrong with this child?"
Li Zilan hung her head, playing with the dirty braid resting on her shoulder.
Su Wang stared at the glossy wooden table as if it were engraved with a vivid flower.
Shen Ran was the most composed, constantly tapping his phone screen.
