▶▶ Master Hou Madam Went To the Sky Bridge Again To Set Up a Stall
After staying in the Hou family for so long, Qiao Xi initially thought that his second cousin was the most serious one.
It wasn't until he witnessed the methods of his third cousin that he realized he was the coldest and most ruthless one.
Unfortunately, Qin Ruan suddenly joined, allowing him to witness the ultimate boss.
Qin Ruan was the one in the Hou family who appeared silent but had the most ruthless methods.
He had been to the Punishment Hall before, so why would he be afraid of being beaten up by his two cousins?
In the Doyle family, he grew up under the disciplinary education of his parents.
All of this was trivial to him.
But it was when Qin Ruan abandoned him in the West District that he truly experienced what it meant to be in a living hell.
Shen Ran laughed as he saw the pensive expression on Qiao Xi's face.
He patted Qiao Xi's shoulder and spoke in a gentle voice, "Xiao Wu is not a bad person. If she didn't care about you, she wouldn't have handed you over to us."
"... " Qiao Xi's eyes widened, and he began to doubt life.
He couldn't agree with Shen Ran's argument.
She treated him well, yet she left him in the West District, letting him suffer so much and be bullied?
Li Zilan immediately noticed the dissatisfaction on Qiao Xi's face.
She leaned in and tapped Qiao Xi's head with the chopsticks in her hand.
"Xiao Wu has a cold heart. Sometimes she can be single-minded. If it wasn't for the people she cares about, she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to hand you over to us. You brat, be content. When you go back, don't make her angry, you hear me?"
Qiao Xi rubbed his head where he was tapped and frowned, unwillingly saying, "I understand."
When he went back, he would definitely stay far away from his sister-in-law.
If he didn't interact with her, he naturally wouldn't provoke her.
The food arrived, and the four of them quickly finished eating.
If it were before, Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan would have already paid and left.
Tonight, after finishing their meal, they asked the boss for a few bottles of alcohol.
They chatted and drank in front of Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi wanted to reach out and grab a bottle of alcohol, but the three of them turned their heads and stared at him with disapproving eyes.
"I'll just have one bottle. I wouldn't even drink this if you gave it to me before."
Su Wang chuckled, "If you wouldn't even drink it if it was given to you, then don't drink it. You look like a minor anyway."
"I'm already an adult. What's wrong with having a drink? Why do you have to control even this?"
Qiao Xi disliked being treated like a child by them.
Shen Ran narrowed his eyes and teased, "After drinking, your head will become unclear. Have you forgotten what you looked like when you first arrived in the West District?"
Speaking of this incident, it was undoubtedly the biggest black mark in Qiao Xi's life.
That day, he was heavily intoxicated and abandoned in the West District by Qin Ruan, but that wasn't even the worst part.
After Qin Ruan left, Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan took turns educating him.
Qiao Xi withdrew his hand silently, feeling like his lips were about to touch the sky.
It was just a few bottles of beer, why were they being so stingy?
He silently swore that when he left the West District, he would drink the most expensive wine in front of these three people to let them know what true indulgence tasted like.
When Qiao Xi was bored, he overheard a conversation from the table next to him.
"Do you have any money?"
"I have a little over ten bucks."
"I'm out too."
"What should we do then?"
Qiao Xi turned around and saw the tall redhead at the neighboring table holding a handful of change.
On the opposite side, the short redhead took out a phone that didn't look like a reputable brand from his pocket.
He proudly said, "I'll call the old man and have him send some money over."
The tall youth urged, "Hurry up. Tell him to send more. We're going to the internet cafe to pull an all-nighter later."
"Okay, no problem!"
The short youth made the call.
When the call connected, his tone turned fierce, "You old bastard, send me 200 bucks!"
I don't know what the person on the other end said, but the short youth became furious, "If you don't have the money, you find a way to get it. I'm being held captive here. If you don't come, I'll cut off my fingers!"
"I don't care. I give you ten minutes to send the money, or be prepared to collect my corpse!"
After delivering the harsh words, the short redhead laughed playfully at the youth sitting opposite him, "Ten minutes, that old bastard will definitely come."
The tall youth sounded dissatisfied, "200 isn't enough. Why don't you ask for more?"
"I'll ask for more when he arrives!"
This scene completely subverted Qiao Xi's worldview.
These two people didn't even have money to eat, yet they were asking their family members for 200 bucks.
And what about the "old bastard" the short redhead referred to?
Was that how he addressed his father?
Their conversation was mind-boggling, and the complaining tone of the tall youth was so self-righteous.
Qiao Xi's mouth hung open, not knowing what to say about the scene before him.
200 bucks was nothing to him. It wasn't even enough to tip the valets when he went out to play.
But Su Wang, Shen Ran, and Li Zilan had long been accustomed to such scenes.
They didn't even spare a glance and continued drinking and chatting, appearing very content.
