Chapter 1095: Chapter 566: Before Leaving_2

But Miss Tang, who was she? With a single glance, she noticed that the girl’s little handbag was extraordinary. Her own home was also filled with bags of snakeskin and pythonskin, but when compared with this girl’s bag, there was just no contest - the natural patterns alone were entirely different.

Unfortunately, Yan Fei showed not the slightest intention of satisfying Miss Tang’s curiosity, answering her indifferently, "Just bought it on the street. Haven’t you been to the county town? The clothing city there, every store sells them!"

Believe you? Hell no!

Miss Tang felt as though she was transforming into an enlightened monk - after talking with Boss Yan, her psychological resilience seemed to have upgraded by not just one or two levels.

She didn’t know what other skills Boss Yan might have, but that talent for chatting someone to death with a single mouthful, was something mere mortals could only dream of competing with.

"If you don’t clarify, I won’t leave!" Miss Tang, out of options, decided to simply throw a tantrum. "I’ll just hover around here every day, asking everyone about your business. We’re all townsfolk here, who knows what they’ll think? Are you scared?"

"Not scared!" Yan Fei said, expressionless.

"You..." Miss Tang was at a loss for words again. She had thought that as a local ’celebrity,’ Boss Yan would fear gossip, but looking at him now, she guessed he genuinely wasn’t concerned.

Moreover, since her arrival, she had been solely focused on Yan Xiaofei from Yan Fei’s entourage, forgetting to go to town to inquire - Yan Sanfen had been known as the village idiot for many years, the least afraid of rumors and gossip. Not to mention, she was an outsider. It was clear whose side the townsfolk would take.

"Just tell me and I’ll leave immediately, never to bother you again, alright?" Miss Tang, refusing to give up until she reached the bitter end, took a deep breath, suppressing the volcano about to erupt in her heart, and implored once more.

"You wouldn’t believe me if I told you," Yan Fei remained with that deadpan face. "Upstream, a giant python appeared a while back, nobody knows what species. I went and killed it, skinned it, and made this from it. Satisfied with that answer?"

Miss Tang wore a look of disbelief, but, frankly, there was no point in continuing that day’s conversation.

Still not giving up, she made inquiries before leaving, and oddly enough, she did hear rumors of a giant python. As for whether Boss Yan could kill a python - the look on Lin Yumei’s face whom she asked was one of sudden realization: No wonder there had been no news of that giant python, no wonder Boss Yan brought that weird python skin later for her to make a bag out of. Boss Yan had been ridding the town of a menace, and he really had kept such a good deed secret all this time!

As for the ability to kill a python, not to mention the folks at the cattle ranch, any random person from Sancha River Township would scoff at the question: other than Boss Yan, who kept tigers and bears as pets like they were cats and dogs, who else would have the guts? Go ahead, you try it!

Thus, when Miss Tang finally left, in addition to her reluctance, her curiosity had deepened: How could this young Boss Yan be so enigmatic?

It was Xu Xiaoyan who saw Miss Tang out, so she clearly knew the truth.

Therefore, Xu Yue’s provocations had no effect on her at all, not just this time, but even before: Since high school, the girls around her were each unique in their own way, and by the time it was college, the beautiful college girls Yan Fei saw were everywhere... When had Yan Xiaofei ever lingered with his gaze on someone for more than a second?

With these thoughts, a smile unwittingly appeared on Xu Xiaoyan’s face.

Xu Yue was at a loss for words, "Tsk tsk, look at you. You’re completely gone! Before I’ve even finished speaking, look at that blissful smile on your face. I bet if he sold you, you’d even help him count the money..."

"I do count money often, but that’s all money Yan Xiaofei asks me to manage. He’d never sell me..." Xu Xiaoyan was blissfully happy. "Oh right, you didn’t remind me, but I almost forgot. This trip down south, I have to remember to buy a few decent money counters. Otherwise, those money counters are always breaking, and having to count cash manually, my fingers almost cramp up..."

Xu Yue tried to cause trouble but was devastated by this comment, feeling like her genius, beautiful girl’s heart had just been bombed by nuclear weapons: "Your family must be so rich now, with quite a few people in the accounting room, even counting money until their hands cramp..."

I really want to experience that kind of ’pain’ of counting money until my hands cramp!

Taking advantage of the moment when Xu Yue’s eyes started to show signs of greed, Xu Xiaoyan seized the opportunity to break free from her elder sister’s grip and ran off with her small luggage in hand, "Elder sister, I’m leaving first, I’ll bring you a gift when I return... Mom, dad, big sister, I’m off, I’ll bring you gifts too..."

Xu Yue reacted too slowly to the blow of counting money until her hands cramped, and by the time she chased outside, Xu Xiaoyan had already reached the gate. As a renowned university student in town, she felt too embarrassed to chase after her and only stomped her feet from behind and complained, "Big sister, mom, listen to this, this brat’s getting more and more ostentatious. Did you hear what she just said? She talks about counting money until her hands cramp every day!"

"Go on, go on!" Xu Xiaoyan’s mother ignored her second daughter’s complaints and smiled at the sight of Xu Xiaoyan dashing out the door, her eyes squinting into slits, "Your father, that old fool, is so restless now, he can’t sit still. Before you know it, he’s off again. He said once the construction site is done, he won’t run the shop or guard the door for his son-in-law anymore, but I don’t care—if anyone supports him in this, I’ll have a falling out with you all..."

Xu Xiaoyan had long since vanished in the blink of an eye. Yan Fei was waiting for her on the path outside, and she couldn’t wait to fly to him, having no interest in listening to her mother’s endless family matters.

However, the first girl of Xu family did listen and was very dissatisfied, saying, "Mom, you should say something to dad. Look at him now, where has his previous composure gone... Others call him Boss Yan, and he keeps calling ’Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei,’ as if he’s got some tremendous benefit from it, and afraid others don’t know that’s his future son-in-law..."

Xu Yue stamped her feet, "Are you two even listening to me..."

"Xiaoyan now has a good prospect, and your elder sister’s love interest is also becoming clear. Xiao Yue, when will you settle down?" Xu Xiaoyan’s mother retorted to her second daughter before turning to the eldest and adding, "Your father has suppressed himself all his life, let him show off if he wants to in his old age. Didn’t you see, Yan Fei hasn’t said much about it, letting him wander aimlessly on that construction site..."

The first girl of Xu family suddenly grew silent, her past was too painful to recall.

As for Xu Yue, as if salt was rubbed into her open wounds, she went off to tend to her injuries alone in the corner!

It should be said that Old Xu wasn’t just aimlessly wandering around the construction site—he had keen eyes and would seek out minor flaws to assert his presence, noticeably enjoying himself and seemingly growing younger with each passing day.

Now, only those from the village who worked fastest and best could enjoy a feast of beef, right?

But then, how to decide which village works fast and well is a difficult task—you know, after working hard all day, everyone’s exhausted, and people from every village think they’ve done nothing wrong and have all done their best.

Old Xu took it upon himself to shoulder this honorable and sacred ’burden.’

No one else could dispute him; everyone knew this was Boss Yan’s future father-in-law. Even Yan Fei’s grandfather and uncles, who also worked on the construction site, had no business competing with this upcoming relative—of course, they didn’t need to, as it was clear who was closer to whom.

So now Old Xu’s word was taken as command. It was a time when he had the power to make decisions—actually, this was an offending job, had anyone else done it, they might have worried about offending others!

Yan Fei was quite happy about it too, seeing as he had passionate ’volunteers’ like Old Xu, a thoughtful uncle like Lin Baoguo who frequently offered advice, a helpful friend like Ma Yongming who never hesitated, brothers like Heizi, Pang Fa, and Ma Chao who, regardless of their personalities, sincerely worked hard for him, as well as friends like Old Pan and Mayor Chen who would help him spot and fix minor issues...

Thanks to them, he could leave the hectic scene behind and go on a trip under the pretense of helping clients scout locations, which was actually a leisurely getaway with his wife...
