Chapter 813 - 814: No One Believes the Truth

Chapter 813: Chapter 814: No One Believes the Truth

"Bro, I haven’t had enough yet." Feng Kexin pouted as she looked at the empty clam dish.

Song Xiaodong immediately raised his hand to signal the waiter and said, "Bring us another plate of clams."

The daydreaming waiter at a distance was taken aback and asked, "What?"

"Another plate of clams," Song Xiaodong repeated.

The waiter finally responded and went off to prepare it.

Only then did Liu Yupu and the others turn their attention to Song Xiaodong and Feng Kexin. Qiao Yuqing sat down, patted his chest, and said, "That really scared me to death."

Wang Liya took a sip of water and said, "My heart nearly leapt out of my chest."

Xu Jing said with a pained expression, "I almost lost my soul with fright. A mob boss, this is my first time seeing one. I was really afraid they’d get angry and snatch us away to become escorts."

"Pfft!" Feng Kexin burst into laughter and said, "Your imagination is something else. In broad daylight, no matter how powerful he is, he wouldn’t dare to do that."

Xu Jing grimaced and asked, "I’m saying, Kexin, Big Brother Song, weren’t you guys scared just now?"

Feng Kexin laughed and said, "What’s there to be scared of? I have my brother here. As long as I’m with my brother, I’m not afraid of anything."

Qiao Yuqing asked curiously, "Then Big Brother Song, why weren’t you scared?"

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "There was really nothing to be scared of. Those little punks are the ones who fight in these public places. The real big shots care about their status and their influence, so in such situations, they definitely wouldn’t do anything to us."

"But they are people from the underworld."

"People from the underworld are the same. At that level, they aren’t the carefree hoodlums they used to be. They have their own businesses, their own families. Privately, they may dare to do things others wouldn’t, but in public, if they act out, they have to consider the consequences. With today’s fierce public opinion, if they get targeted and it affects the city’s image, nobody can protect them. Why would they ruin their image over a few underlings causing trouble?"

"Oh... I see, Big Brother Song, you really know a lot," Wang Liya couldn’t help but praise him, looking at Song Xiaodong with a touch of admiration.

Qiao Yuqing also nodded continuously, saying, "This kind of calmness in the face of trouble is indeed very impressive."

Liu Yupu’s face suddenly turned red, as he had seemed too panicked just before.

Xu Jing winked at Song Xiaodong and asked, "Big Brother Song, what does your girlfriend look like? Do you have a photo to show us?"

Qiao Yuqing said with a giggly voice, "Yeah, yeah, we want to see. We want to know what kind of girl can match you, and if she’s not better than us, then we might have to make a move."

Song Xiaodong took out his phone and casually picked out a photo, which happened to be of Song Xiaoru.

In his heart, Song Xiaoru was the most important, so he subconsciously chose her picture.

The group took Song Xiaodong’s phone and huddled together to look at it.

"Wow, she’s so beautiful!"

"Really pretty indeed, she looks like a very gentle girl."

"We’ve lost our chance."

"Eh, this one is not the same as the one we saw just now. This one is pretty too, wow, it’s another different person." Wang Liya casually swiped the screen, switching to the next photo.

When the group realized the photo was of another person, they quickly scrolled further, and then looked at Song Xiaodong with speechless expressions. Qiao Yuqing said, "Come on, Big Brother Song, you’re not pulling our legs, are you? These must be downloaded pictures of beauties from the internet, right?"

Feng Kexin chuckled lightly and said, "What download? Where can you find such beauty pictures online? They’re all my sister-in-law."

"All of them your sister-in-law? What kind of joke is that?" Wang Liya rolled her eyes.

Qiao Yuqing rolled her eyes as well and said, "You’re really stretching it."

Feng Kexin lifted her chin smugly and said, "What am I stretching? I’m telling the truth; these photos are all of my sister-in-law."

"Wait a minute, I think I’ve seen this picture before." Xu Jing, at that moment, noticed Lin Su’er’s photo and upon taking a closer look, said, "I remember now, this person was on TV a few days ago for an interview. It left a strong impression on me. She’s determined to establish a charitable hospital and is already a deputy director at a young age. Her name is Lin... Lin what was it?"

Feng Kexin chuckled again and said, "That’s my sister-in-law Lin Su’er."

Xu Jing gave Feng Kexin a disdainful look and said, "Cut it out, you’re going over the top. Lin Su’er is a celebrity, a deputy director of a hospital. Achieving such feats at her age is remarkable. Although your brother is quite good as well, compared to Lin Su’er, they’re worlds apart."

Wang Liya rolled her eyes and said, "Exactly, Kexin, you really love joking around. If you don’t want to show us, then don’t, but don’t use such pictures to trick us. I could claim a celebrity’s photo as my boyfriend too."

The group returned the phone, no longer interested in continuing to look. Photos of beauties were all over the internet, so what was so impressive about that?

Feng Kexin shrugged her shoulders and said to Song Xiaodong, "Big Brother, why is it that no one ever believes the truth?"

Song Xiaodong helplessly glared at Feng Kexin, put away the phone, and said, "Stop joking around like this. Come on, I’ll get you some clams to eat."

Half an hour later, when everyone got up to leave, Liu Yupu went to pay the bill only to be told that someone had already settled it, and it was none other than someone from Zhang Tianlong’s entourage.

This left Liu Yupu somewhat astonished; he had thought Zhang Tianlong was just putting on a show earlier and hadn’t expected him to actually pay the bill. It seemed that this was no small gesture of face-giving.

In the future, it would be a matter of pride to say that when he dined out, Zhang Tianlong paid the bill for him.

But he was a bit puzzled about why Zhang Tianlong would do such a thing. Could it be, as Song Xiaodong said, that he was beginning to gain recognition?

He felt that there was something mysterious about Song Xiaodong’s identity.

However, he quickly dismissed the thought; a person driving a Porsche, how much influence could they really have? Even if they had a little money, their social status would be average at best. He was probably just overthinking it.

When everyone arrived at their cars, Liu Yupu said to Feng Kexin, "Kexin, could you give me an address? I’ll come to hang out with you sometime."

Feng Kexin smiled and replied, "Better not, I’m afraid even if I tell you, you wouldn’t dare to come."

Liu Yupu spoke in a flattering tone, "Why not? I’ve met your cousin now, so I won’t be turned away."

Feng Kexin smiled again and said, "Sorry, I really can’t give it to you. We’ll be leaving now, let’s keep in touch on WeChat, okay?" With a wave, she got into the car with Song Xiaodong and they drove off in the distance.
