Picking Up a General to Plow the Fields

Chapter 418: Ah Jian’s Rage

Boss Xiao hooked his lips silently and was about to lower his head closer to Lian Fang Zhou and whisper a few ‘tender’ words to make his ambiguity with her more obvious when a tall man suddenly appeared in the door way.

The man stepped inside the private room and firmly closed the two doors behind him.

Startled, Boss Xiao and Boss Wang jumped!

“Who are you, how did you get in here?! Quick—” Boss Wang immediately started shouting.
Before he could say ‘get out’, Lian Fang Zhou had already exclaimed: “Ah Jian! Ah Jian!” Her voice was surprised and happy.

She didn’t know where the strength came from but suddenly she was able to push Boss Xiao away and staggered towards Ah Jian.

Ah Jian started at Boss Xiao with a heavy gaze and stepped forward.
Opening his arms, he naturally supported Lian Fang Zhou and lowered his head to whisper: “Let’s go!”

“Yes!” Lian Fang Zhou was smiling, her lips curled.

Her whole body was relaxed and the feeling of dizziness was become more and more severe.
She didn’t open her eyes, just threw herself into his arms.

Ah Jian picked her up into his arms and pressed her face against his shoulder so no one could see her and kicked the door open, quickly heading back downstairs.

It wasn’t until long after the two had left that Boss Xiao came back to his senses.

Thinking of the man’s dark, bottomless eyes that seemed very calm, he had no reason to feel frightened but he still felt a chill against his back.

However, judging from the man’s clothes, he was not rich, and Boss Xiao absolutely refused to admit that he had felt scared in front of such a person.

“Who was that?” Boss Xiao coughed awkwardly.
Boss Wang was even more surprised and frightened than Boss Xiao.
Boss Xiao had to call him twice before he came back to his senses and stared at him blankly.

Boss Xiao repeated his question.

However, Boss Wang subconsciously avoiding sight and said with a dry smile: “I have heard that there is a person named Ah Jian in Lian Fang Zhou’s family.
It is said that he is her distant cousin and is the one who killed the wolves that attacked the village.
Ah, we are so unlucky! I didn’t expect him to break in!”

How could Boss Wang not know Ah Jian? The memory was still fresh! There was no way that he would tell Boss Xiao.

After hearing this, Boss Xiao felt even more frustrated and irritated.
He was unwilling, very unwilling!

With his wealth, what kind of beauty could not be bought? Not that he liked Lian Fang Zhou that much, he only liked her benefits.
But to see that Lian Fang Zhou, who was only a country village girl, won’t even look at him but was so happy to see Ah Jian, his feels were complicated.

Hearing what Boss Wang said, he felt even more irrigated in his heart.

Boss Wang originally wanted to stay and discuss the matter with Boss Xiao but thinking about how badly things had turned out, who would be in the mood to discuss thing? Forget it, it was best to do it another day!

So he didn’t keep Boss Xiao and saw him out with a diligent smile.

After a while, Madam Wang returned with the restaurant’s most foul mouthed, gossipy waiter behind her.
On the waiter’s tray was a bowl of sobering soup.

Seeing that her husband was the only one left in the private room, Madam Wang smiled in surprise and said, “Why are you the only one left?” Then she giggled meaningfully, “Now way, did—”

“It’s fine, come in quickly.
Why are you talking so much?” Boss Wang snapped, rolling his eyes at her to warn her silently.

As things were, Boss Xiao wouldn’t get any advantages out of this.
If his wife said some nonsense and told this guy to spread some rumors around, he might even harm Boss Xiao!

Moreover, that Ah Jian was not easy to provoke.
Why should he provoke him for no reason?”

Hmph! Cousin! Cousin, his foot! Did that look like a normal cousin? Was everyone blind?

Madam Wang was started but, although she didn’t know what had happened, she didn’t dare contradict her husband.
She ordered the waiter to put down the soup and as soon as he left, she immediately asked what was going on.

Boss Wang did not answer her question.
Sitting deep in thought for a moment, he asked: “Do you think what that Lian Fang Zhou said is credible?”

His wife rolled her eyes.
“If you want to ask me to believe it, I can’t believe it, not at all! That girl answered every question but if you think about it, she didn’t say anything at all.
That girl is like a loach, won’t let anything out!”

“It seems that you and I feel the same!” Boss Wang laughed.

“Exactly!” She nodded, still feeling indignant.

“That’s right,” Boss Wang sneered, “I think that girl didn’t speak a word of truth! Hmph, that girl is nothing good! Not good at all.
What a village girl!”

Thinking of Ah Jian who had suddenly broken in with a dark expression, Boss Wang’s heart tightened even more.

“Master, what should we do?” Madam Wang asked anxiously, “Are we really going to just watch that girl get rich in vain?”

Although Concubine Hua was out of favor due to Lian Fang Zhou, Madam Wang was not grateful to her at all.

In truth, she felt that since Lian Fang Zhou entered their yard, she should have obeyed her master’s arrangement and willingly served Boss Xiao instead of trying to escape and causing such turmoil! She simply didn’t take their family seriously!

Of course, Concubine Hua had still done something wrong and it was only right that she fall out of favor.

How could a girl, who was only worth being given as a gift a year ago, now have a fortune that almost put her on equal footing with the Wang family? This was simply outrageous!

Madam Wang felt that she could not bear it.

Boss Wang gave his wife a sideways glance.
What he cared about was not this but how to get the technique of cotton quilts.

The cotton they couldn’t get because of the Su family but could it be that only the Su family could figure out the technique? Was everyone else stupid?

Boss Wang snorted softly and said coldly: “She is too self-righteous! The Su family, the Su family is far away in Shuangliu county, they can’t surround her and protect her every day! She is just a tool for the Su family to make money.
There should we some ways to deal with her…”

Madam Wang did not hear her husband’s muttering clearly.
She made a questioning noise and looked at him doubtfully but he ignored her.

…

In the backyard of the restaurant, there was a courtyard for guests to hire horse-drawn carriages when they were drunk and it was inconvenient to fine a carriage outside.
Ah Jian went here directly and carried Lian Fang Zhou into a carriage, ordering the driver: “Go to Sifang Street!”
