Chapter 326: Chapter 326: The Domineering Side of Old Xie’s Restaurant (Second Update)
“`
At dusk.
Beijiang city was drenched in a drizzling autumn rain.
“Xuan’Er, let me drive you home!” a colleague offered warmly.
Tang Xuan’er smiled and shook her head, “No need! I have to stop by a friend’s place first!”
After saying that, she donned her raincoat and stepped into the curtain of rain.
By the time she arrived at Old Xie’s restaurant, night had completely fallen.
“Oh dear, Xuan’Er, why didn’t you call ahead so Uncle Xie could have picked you up in this rain!”
Auntie Pang rushed forward to greet Tang Xuan’er, who had walked in wearing a raincoat, with a look of surprise.
“It’s fine, the rain isn’t that heavy!” Tang Xuan’er removed her raincoat and said with a smile.
“Look at you, your hair is all wet. Wipe it off quickly! Don’t catch a cold!” Auntie Pang affectionately handed over a dry towel.
“Where’s Jingjing?” Tang Xuan’er asked while drying her hair.
“She’s inside. When it started raining, she thought you wouldn’t come and started doing her homework in the back room,” Auntie Pang said with a beaming smile.
In recent times, Tang Xuan’er had been coming to Old Xie’s restaurant every evening to tutor Xie Jingjing.
“Then I’ll go in!” Tang Xuan’er walked toward the back room.
Only after her figure was completely out of sight did the several tables of customers in the hall let out a collective sigh.
“My God, this girl is indeed as beautiful as the rumors say! Especially when she smiles, it’s intoxicating!” a man said, utterly smitten.
“Cough cough, of course she’s beautiful, what do you think is the reason I come here every day at this time?” another man at the same table said with a hearty laugh.
“Eh, have you inquired? What’s her name? At least find out her phone number or WeChat or something!” yet another man lusted after her.
“Shh! Don’t talk nonsense! This girl is definitely not ordinary!” someone quickly gestured for them to lower their voices.
“I don’t believe it; she’s just wearing a raincoat, walking here by herself, what kind of big background could she have?” someone skeptically remarked.
“Don’t believe it, huh? Well, not to mention the girl, the background of this restaurant is not something you could imagine!” another person sneered.
“This little rundown restaurant has a background? Stop joking!”
No sooner had these words left his mouth, several burly men dressed in black appeared outside the restaurant; each one had a robust build, and the leader was holding a black umbrella, his face full of menace.
Upon seeing this group, all the customers inside shuddered unison, and someone couldn’t help but whisper in alarm.
“It’s Xu Jiu! One of Du Fan’s top men!”
Everyone was shocked.
This was a figure with some notoriety in Beijiang city, so what was he doing here on a rainy night?
As they wondered, Xu Jiu tapped on the glass window.
Old Xie came out and upon seeing the man, walked forward to open the door.
Once opened, Old Xie said, “Come in.”
Xu Jiu’s face broke into a sycophantic smile, and he bowed his head, saying, “No need to come in, I’m soaked with rainwater, I wouldn’t want to dirty your floor! I’m just here following my boss’s orders, to see if anyone who doesn’t know their place has come by recently?”
Old Xie shook his head, “Ever since you sorted out those guys who came asking for money last time, there hasn’t been any riff-raff!”
“Yes, yes, those guys have been kicked out of Beijiang city by me, and they wouldn’t dare come back in this lifetime!” Xu Jiu kept nodding and bowing repeatedly.
Just recently, a few rookie hooligans came to Old Xie’s restaurant for a meal and intentionally dropped a dead cockroach into their dish afterward, demanding compensation and threatening to trash the place if they weren’t paid.
Old Xie recognized instantly that these men were here to extort.
