Chapter 530: Chapter 558: Just Wait to Be Slapped in the Face (Part 1)
Seeing the unusual expression on Gu Xiaoxian’s face, many people in the market who knew Gu Lan and her daughter, as well as those who didn’t know them, sighed heavily, feeling as if they lost the whole world.
"My son has no hope now, alas!"
"I wanted to introduce my big nephew, but it’s too late now!"
"I should have made a move just now, otherwise, maybe I’d still have a chance!"
...
Sighing is one thing, being sad is another, they all knew that a girl as beautiful, kind, and from a prestigious university like Gu Xiaoxian, was really out of reach for their sons or nephews.
It’s just that everyone has a yearning heart for beautiful things.
Liu Gong is that kind of unreasonable landlord, and everyone guessed he was about to start acting irrational, even if Lin Xi didn’t seem like an ordinary person.
But even if he’s not ordinary, dealing with an unreasonable person is a real headache, especially since Lin Xi is so young.
"You’ve lived in my place for so long, taking some vegetables, what’s the problem? Do you have the nerve to ask me to pay?" Liu Gong began his unreasonable act,
"Why should I apologize?"
"And were you threatening me just now? Fine, I won’t return the vegetables or apologize, what can you do about it? Do you want to hit me or bite me?"
"Let me tell you, I have a heart condition, if you scare me, you’ll have to pay for my medical expenses!"
"Oh, and if you want to send me to jail, you can try calling the police. I have connections over there!"
With these words, it was clear he was acting irrationally, and very aggressively at that.
And he was quite right, from everyone else’s perspective besides Lin Xi, when faced with such a person, what can you do?
"Xiaolin, come here, please don’t be impulsive, it’s not worth arguing with someone like this!" Gu Lan quickly shouted to Lin Xi.
Young people tend to be impulsive, it would be a disaster if it turned into a physical altercation!
The onlookers, especially the butcher from whom Lin Xi had just bought meat, also advised him, "Little brother, don’t be impulsive, it’s better to steer clear of some people!"
Gu Xiaoxian didn’t say anything, she knew that as long as Lin Xi was around, there was no need to worry.
"Auntie, you don’t need to worry, people like him aren’t worth my trouble!" Lin Xi said to Gu Lan and her group,
"However, I have plenty of ways to handle him!"
With that, he smiled at Liu Gong, this short and chubby old man, took out his phone from his pocket, dialed a number, and said,
"Xu Hong, bring a dozen brothers to the XX market!"
"Just come empty-handed, no need for rebar, it’s not like we’re fighting!"
"Get a truck over too, we’ll need it later!"
"Oh, and prepare a suite in a five-star hotel nearby!"
"Alright, that’s it, tell them to hurry over!"
After Lin Xi hung up the phone, the whole area went silent. He didn’t lower his voice while making the call.
So almost everyone present could hear him clearly.
"Xiaolin, don’t do anything foolish!" Gu Lan’s face changed when she heard Lin Xi calling people over, talking about rebar and fighting.
"Auntie, don’t worry, I’m having them come over to help you move, nothing else!" Lin Xi explained.
Gu Lan hesitated, "But there’s no need for a five-star hotel, just a random motel will do?"
She also had another concern she didn’t voice, that once tonight was over, they wouldn’t have money to continue renting.
But she didn’t want to trouble Lin Xi further, he had already helped so much, so she’d take it one step at a time.
"Auntie, don’t worry about it, leave everything to me!" Lin Xi said.
Seeing the determination, Gu Lan didn’t say anything more.
The other onlookers, especially the butcher who sold Lin Xi meat just now, thought smugly, I knew he wasn’t ordinary.
However, this guy is a bully, being unreasonable is his norm...
Liu Gong first felt a bit uneasy, but then he thought, are they really going to hit people? If they did, he wouldn’t be afraid, he’d just be playing the victim!
So he said, "Kid, calling people over won’t help, I’m just waiting for you to make a fool of yourself!"
Lin Xi ignored him and started chatting with Gu Xiaoxian, which made Liu Gong’s face darken, and he couldn’t help but shout, "Stupid kid, just wait to be embarrassed!"
Soon, the crowd made way as Xu Hong and twenty of his men arrived.
The onlookers, seeing Xu Hong’s group’s momentum, all took several steps back, thinking these folks were clearly not good people!
"Boss!" Xu Hong and his group shouted simultaneously to Lin Xi.
