"Haha, only a sister knows how to show concern," Zhou Jingpeng laughed, then served Leng Xuan a piece of braised pork, saying, "Try this, you were the one who taught how to cook this dish."
Zhou Li’s expression changed slightly. Her brother’s braised pork was always a marvel, with everyone who had tasted it declaring it delicious. She hadn’t expected that Leng Xuan had been the one to teach him? It truly was unbelievable. Looking at Leng Xuan, a strange glint appeared in the young girl’s eyes.
Leng Xuan smiled slightly, picked up a piece of the braised pork with his chopsticks, took a small bite, and said, "Hmm, not bad, it’s reaching a point where the student may surpass the master."
"Haha, don’t flatter too much. I can’t compare to your culinary skills," Zhou Jingpeng said with a bitter smile.
The three of them chatted as they ate. After the al, Leng Xuan spoke briefly with Zhou Li before going into the room with Zhou Jingpeng, using True Qi to check his health...
Xu Renjie and a group of young socialites were already getting impatient waiting outside the school when Ah-Long suddenly said, "Brother Jie, that kid is here. But who’s the other one?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Renjie turned his head to look and imdiately burst into laughter. He had long wanted to teach Zhao Xiaotian a lesson, but with Leng Xuan’s protection at school, he hadn’t dared to make a move. Seeing that Zhao Xiaotian had put himself in harm’s way was an opportunity he wouldn’t miss. With a sneer, he said, "That kid is called Zhao Xiaotian. Along with Jack, they’re now following that bumpkin."
"..."
From a distance, Jack and Zhao Xiaotian saw Xu Renjie and his posse outside the school, and instantly, Zhao Xiaotian realized sothing and said, "Jack, let’s go back. Xu Renjie might an trouble for you!"
Jack also recognized the group of young socialites that he used to hang around with when he was following Xu Renjie. Knowing they could be even more ruthless than Xu Renjie, he considered retreating. Just then, Shorty Zhou Qiang shouted at them, "Jack, are you fucking dawdling? The Boss has been waiting here for you for over ten minutes."
With no choice, Jack mustered up his courage and approached. When he reached Xu Renjie, he sowhat nervously called out, "Boss."
Zhao Xiaotian frowned slightly. Jack calling Xu Renjie ’Boss’? That was super annoying. "Jack," he said, "didn’t you cut ties with him?"
"Shit!" Xu Renjie cursed and retorted, "Zhao Xiaotian, who gave you the right to speak in front of Laozi? Brothers, teach him a lesson!" No sooner had he spoken than several of the young socialites charged forward, not hesitating to start beating Zhao Xiaotian with a barrage of punches and kicks. Although Zhao Xiaotian managed to fight back at the beginning, he was soon overwheld, reduced to taking hits.
"Xiaotian!" Jack was about to step in and help when Xu Renjie grabbed his shoulder and said, "Jack, to be honest, I wanted to call you out here to beat you up, but seeing as you just called Boss, if you’re willing to co back, I can let bygones be bygones. You’ll still be my subordinate, what do you say?"
Jack, becoming anxious, said, "Xu Renjie, please tell them to stop."
Xu Renjie suddenly flared up, shouting, "God damn it, Jack, are you refusing the face I’m offering?"
Seeing Xu Renjie get angry, Jack felt a twinge of fear and said, "Xu Renjie, I don’t want to be involved with you anymore. You treated quite well before, and I appreciate that. I ca out here to clear the air and hope we can just be friends from now on, okay?"
