Chapter 301: Chapter 295: The Stolen Luxurious Lunch!

Making a fortune?

Zheng He liked the idea.

This was his childhood friend; he definitely wouldn’t fool him!

Luckily, he had five million this time, after paying off his mortgage and car loans, he could invest a bit and test the waters.

Zheng He quickly agreed: "Okay, send me the address and come pick me up when I arrive."

Zhao Xiaopang sent him a location at Tian Nan Airport: "I’ve arranged for someone to pick you up at the airport in Tian Nan City, I’ll show you around Tian Nan City for a couple of days, then we can go discuss the big business together!"

Zheng He: "That’s really nice of you, bro!"

Even showing him around Tian Nan City for two days, this buddy was doing him a solid!

Zhao Xiaopang: "No big deal! Hurry up and come over!"

Zheng He replied okay.

He prepared to end the show.

Now if he goes, wouldn’t everyone know about their big business deal?

Although he wasn’t highly educated, he still understood the principle of "keeping wealth within the family"!

After locking his phone and returning it to the show’s crew, Zheng He felt completely relieved!

It seemed like he hadn’t felt this way in a long time, because he had been unlucky before, weighed down by grievances, but now it seemed like good fortune should favor him too!

...

When Chen Xixi and Han Qianyi were about to go out for lunch, she suddenly remembered Xu Mu, who had sprained his foot.

Having gauged Xu Mu’s attitude towards Zhou Jinyuan earlier, she felt more and more that Xu Mu and Zhou Jinyuan had an unusual relationship.

If an ordinary person heard that a big boss like Zhou Jinyuan said to take care of someone, they would probably be thrilled.

But Xu Mu, he just showed a little surprise, his remaining expression was quite calm, indicating that his family’s status was not low in front of Zhou Jinyuan.

Previously, Xu Mu had even boldly asked Zhou Jinyuan for a job, indicating Xu Mu was not very afraid of Zhou Jinyuan’s status.

Chen Xixi took out her phone and sent Xu Mu a friend request, though not to add him as a friend.

Xu Mu, sitting and playing with his phone on the steps, saw the message from Chen Xixi and suddenly slapped his thigh!

How could he not have thought of that!

The method Chen Xixi sent was to identify photos via a website for quickly completing tasks!

He hurriedly completed the task, and had his partner Qin Wei do the same, and with their 3 points they exchanged for a luxury double room in the hostel.

As Xu Mu, leaning on a cane, was about to turn into the cabin of the luxury double room, he saw a familiar figure approaching from the left.

He immediately stiffened up.

Why was Xu Nianying here too?

Xu Nianying had just complained about the hostel’s cashier, and after the hostel manager looked into it, he realized it was a misunderstanding.

The cashier wasn’t talking about Xu Nianying, it turned out Xu Nianying jumped in awkwardly after miscommunication.

But discussing customers was wrong in itself, so the hostel manager deducted the bonuses of those employees and had the chef make a special luxurious lunch for Xu Nianying, thanking him for his righteous report.

Xu Nianying, with a sullen face, initially wanted to let it go but he indeed was a bit hungry; even if he took the cable car down, it wouldn’t directly reach the base of the mountain.

He would have to walk at least ten minutes after leaving the cable car.

It was okay to go back after eating.

Leaving the manager’s office, Xu Nianying looked up and saw Xu Mu with a ’cane’.

His face bore a cold smile, watching as if enjoying a spectacle, his eyes measured Xu Mu’s leg: "Lame?"

Xu Mu lowered his head, his voice as small as a mosquito’s: "Just a small sprain..."

He was truly afraid of Xu Nianying.

In the early years, Father Xu and Mrs. Xu were busy with business, and he virtually had been brought up by Xu Nianying.

But Xu Nianying had a weird temperament from childhood, mingled in the society from junior high school, and had no patience for raising a child, hence his way of teaching was either beating or scolding.

He had thought of resisting, but Xu Nianying was older than him, and he was no match for Xu Nianying.

After being beaten several times with no strength to fight back, his fear of Xu Nianying grew, and he no longer dared resist, he even lacked the courage to complain to his parents.

Until he was able to reside at school, he hurriedly moved out of Xu Family’s home, hoping to avoid Xu Nianying and prevent Xu Nianying from venting his mood on him.

However, later Father Xu and Mrs. Xu even handed over his living expenses to Xu Nianying, saying that they had no time to manage, letting his brother Xu Nianying control his spending.

Xu Mu didn’t have the courage to ask Xu Nianying for living expenses.

Initially, he resisted the hunger, but later whenever he went home, he would take some food or stealthily steal some jewelry and ornaments to sell.

However, it didn’t take long for him to be caught by Father Xu and Mrs. Xu through surveillance, leading to a brutal beating by both his parents.

His parents even called him an ungrateful wolf, criticizing him for not having enough despite being given a lot of living expenses, and selling the family treasures for cheap; they felt they were extremely unlucky to have had him.

Eventually, he started to work to earn money.

Now, he was participating in the television program for the sake of living expenses. _{f(r)eew(e)bnovel.(c)o(m)}

Xu Nianying scoffed lightly, "What a pity."

Saying that, he walked towards Xu Mu.

Suppressed by the familial ties and the inherent fear of Xu Nianying, Xu Mu nervously scooted to the side.

In his haste, the stick he was holding adjusted to his pace with a ’clatter’ as it fell to the ground.

Xu Nianying disdained Xu Mu’s cowardliness as he coldly said with a sneer, "Coward!"

Xu Mu lowered his head even more, not daring to retort a single word.

[Oh my! Who is this person? So arrogant! His words are venomous!]

[Xu Mu seems really scared of him!]

[This guy’s demeanor is obviously not good; he particularly looks like those hateful main villains in TV dramas!]

Xu Nianying strode past Xu Mu.

As Xu Nianying passed by, Xu Mu’s muscles tensed up instinctively, and he closed his eyes.

However, the slap he anticipated never fell. Gathering his courage, he opened his eyes and saw Xu Nianying had walked away, heading towards a luxurious double room.

"Come with me," Xu Nianying said.

Xu Mu’s spine chilled instantly as he nervously swallowed his saliva.

Was this because it was inconvenient to hit him outside, so he wanted to take him into the room to do it?

Xu Mu initially didn’t dare to move.

Until Xu Nianying spoke again, "Don’t make me repeat myself."

His tone was laced with a strong threat.

Qin Wei, standing to the side, was so scared by Xu Nianying’s dark aura that she didn’t dare speak. She bent down to pick up the stick for Xu Mu, carefully muttering, "I’ll go back to my room first."

Xu Mu and this man definitely had conflict; it was better not to get involved in this situation.

Limping, Xu Mu reached the door of Xu Nianying’s room. Just as Xu Nianying swiped his card to open the door, his phone in the pocket rang.

Xu Nianying glanced at the caller ID, frowned slightly, and turned to walk away from Xu Mu to answer the call.

Xu Mu stood in front of the open room, watching Xu Nianying’s retreating figure, contemplating whether to sneak away.

If he didn’t run, he might get beaten again.

If he ran, the beating would just be postponed.

But, postponing it still meant one less beating for now!

Just as Xu Mu made up his mind, a waiter came towards him with a trolley, "Mr. Xu, this is a lunch specially prepared by our manager for you."

With the door wide open and Xu Mu standing there, the waiter mistook him as the guest of the room.

Swallowing his saliva, Xu Mu had not had lunch yet, and the little porridge he drank in the morning on the mountain had long since digested. Now, without any points left, he didn’t even know how he would manage lunch...

Surely, this lunch was ordered by Xu Nianying.

Whether it was a beating or more, what difference would it make?

Eat first, then think!

Seeing Xu Nianying hadn’t returned yet, Xu Mu quickly said, "Thank you, give it to me, you can go."

After dismissing the waiter, Xu Mu sneakily pushed the trolley back to his room.

His room was 1206; as he passed by 1205, the door to 1205 opened.

Feeling guilty like a thief, Xu Mu shivered.

Seeing it was Chen Xixi and Han Qianyi, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Han Qianyi, looking at Xu Mu, commented with a hint of suspicion, "You reek of theft."

Unaware that the guest house provided simple meals, Xu Mu hurriedly wheeled the cart in first, "Haven’t you eaten? Let’s eat together."

With so many dishes, there was enough for them to share!
