Chapter 143 - 143 Storm

143 Storm

Of course, traditional snacks were also essential.

If Su Ergou was the only one helping her, she wouldn’t be able to do so many things. But now, she had three free laborers.

It would be a waste not to use it!

While Su Xiaoxiao was making snacks, Manager Sun was not idle either. He shamelessly went to the front yard to expand his business.

He didn’t care if he was an invited guest or not. In short, he just had to sneak in. How could his skin be more important than business?

If he was not shameless, Jin Ji would not have become the boss of Apricot Flower Town from a small workshop!

He, Sun Quan, was down and out, but one day, he would definitely make a comeback!

The banquet was about to begin and everything was ready.

Manager Sun also relied on his ability to boast and attract a lot of business.

How many could be decided today…

He suppressed the smile on his face and hurried to the kitchen.

“Sister, I want to relieve myself.” Su Ergou said.

His sister’s ginger milk was too delicious. He could not help but drink three big bowls.

“Go. Do you know where it is?” Su Xiaoxiao asked.

“I know. That servant has already said it,” Su Ergou replied.

As soon as Su Ergou left, Manager Sun arrived.

He was overjoyed. “I was lucky today and b.u.mped into the Qi family. They praised our desserts and said that they were delicious. I took the opportunity to pull in a few business deals. The latest deal is in ten days. The Zhao family’s daughter is coming of age. Madam Zhao wants to see you. Are you free now? If you are, send the snacks to the front and meet Madam Zhao on the way. I’ve already spoken to Third Madam, and she has no objections.”

“Deal.”

Coincidentally, she was done here.

Su Xiaoxiao took out the plates from her house. “Come and load the plates. Watch how I do it.”

The three chefs: “Okay, Miss Su!”

Manager Sun was dumbfounded.

Wait a minute, what happened in the hour or two he wasn’t there?

After the plates were loaded, Su Xiaoxiao and Manager Sun carried a food box to the front hall.

The rest of the snacks would be served by the servants of the w.a.n.g family. There was no need for her to spend any effort.

“Let me tell you about the Zhao Family…” Manager Sun took the food box and began to introduce the Zhao Family to Su Xiaoxiao.

When the two of them pa.s.sed through a corridor, a woman’s pleading voice came from a small bamboo garden not far away.

“Let go of him! Let go of him! Let go of my brother!”

“Ah!”

The woman was probably pushed to the ground and knocked over something on the ground. She even let out a scream.

A man reprimanded, “Get up quickly! Stop crying and howling! If you make Mr. Li unhappy, watch your skin!”

“Steward Wu, I’m begging you! I’m kneeling down for you! Let them release my brother—my brother is still young—he’s not a servant of the w.a.n.g family—”

“He’s a servant of the w.a.n.g family! What did you say when you brought him into the residence?”

“I don’t want him to come to the w.a.n.g family anymore! Manager Wu, let him go! I only have one younger brother! Steward Wu…”

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes were cold.

Manager Sun shook his head: “Sigh, we can’t interfere with the matters of the mansion. Let’s go.”

“Steward Wu, I beg you…”

“If you continue to shout, I’ll get someone to chase you out! You’ll ruin Mr. Li’s mood. When he denounces us later, we’ll all have to bear the consequences!”

Su Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks.

She heard a young man’s m.u.f.fled groan of resistance coming from a room in the small bamboo garden. It was very weak and unreal.

Manager Sun’s hearing was not as good as hers, so he did not hear any sounds. However, he had been around for many years, so how could he not guess what had happened?

“At today’s banquet, the only one surnamed Li seems to be the young master of Prefecture Lord Li’s family,” Manager Sun said in a low voice. “According to rumors, this young master is the youngest son of Prefecture Lord Li, and also the only legitimate son. He has been spoiled by his family and has been tainted with some… disgraceful hobbies.”

What did he mean by a dishonorable hobby?

To put it bluntly, he was a promiscuous h.o.m.os.e.xual!

In the prefecture, Prefecture Lord Li was almost omnipotent. Although many people hated Young Master Li’s actions, they could not do anything to him.

According to Steward Wu’s conversation with the woman, Young Master Li had touched a servant of the w.a.n.g Family.

This was too ridiculous!

Su Xiaoxiao clenched her fists.

Steward Sun saw the murderous look on her face and hurriedly advised, “Don’t, don’t, don’t, Miss Su, don’t be rash! We’re not from the w.a.n.g family. We can’t even be considered guests! That person inside is the legitimate son of Prefecture Lord Li! Not to mention our current ident.i.ties, even if we combine the strengths of Jin Ji and the Qi family, we’re not enough to argue with the Li family! We can’t afford to offend them!”

As he spoke, he decisively reached out to grab Su Xiaoxiao’s wrist.

At his age, he had no ill intentions toward Su Xiaoxiao. He purely treated her as a junior and wanted to pull her away.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t move. “You go first.”

“You… you won’t…” Manager Sun looked around, lowered his voice, and advised in a low voice, “I know you’re warm-hearted, otherwise you wouldn’t have saved that child at Jin Ji! But there are so many injustices in the world. Can you control them? Before you control others, you have to think for yourself first! If we offend Prefecture Lord Li, we can forget about doing business in the Prefecture City in the future! A sneeze from him can take our lives!”

Su Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and loosened her fists.

...

“That’s more like it!” Manager Sun heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s not that we’re cold, but the world is difficult and complex. Sometimes, we have to accept our fate. Let’s go. Out of sight, out of mind.”

… .

The room was dimly lit.

Mr. Li smiled evilly and walked towards the young man on the bed.

The young man struggled, but his entire body was tied up and his mouth was gagged. All his struggles were in vain.

Young Master Lee charged forward.

“It’s your fortune to serve me!”

“Don’t worry. If you serve me well, I’ll let you live a good life for the rest of your life. You won’t have to be a servant in this lousy residence anymore!”

Young Master Li raised his hand to tug at his belt.

The door was kicked open.

A chubby figure rushed in like a hurricane. She grabbed Young Master Li from the bed and threw him to the ground mercilessly!

...

Young Master Li screamed as he fell. He was half-awake. “Who is it? Which b.a.s.t.a.r.d! How dare you hurl me!”

Su Xiaoxiao walked over and aimed a kick at his chest!

“Ouch!”

Young Master Li was kicked so hard that he flipped over. His nose bridge was broken, and blood sprayed all over the ground!

Su Xiaoxiao quickly untied the young man.

“Brother…”

The woman rushed in crying.

The servants who were knocked down by Su Xiaoxiao also got up and followed her.

At the same time, Su Xiaoxiao saw the young man’s face clearly.

Her eyes turned cold!

The woman came to the bed and stopped crying!

Manager Sun ran the slowest. He panted as he entered. When he took a closer look, he staggered and fell!

What was the situation?

How did the young man who was forced by Mr. Li become… Su Ergou?

Su Ergou, whose mouth was gagged, roared, “Boohoo!”

This time, even Young Master Li was dumbfounded.

Where was his beautiful young man?

How did it become a little black skin?
