Chapter 234: Tao Ye is drunk
Fluttershy stares at Peng Dahai coldly, and she knows that Peng Dahai can't just let it go, so she walks over to see what he has to say.
"With all due respect, you have just arrived, it is very difficult to gain a foothold here, this Xihua Street is an old street, it is all local business, you come in and intervene, it is easy to cause a lot of dissatisfaction." Peng Dahai said, "You are just driving a car shop now, this will not hurt my business, if you want to open a cloth shop, it will naturally damage other people's business, you must know that we have been rooted here for many years, there are people behind you, you are a newcomer, there is no backer who can't get along." β
"Boss Peng still didn't say it directly." Fluttershy says.
"This little sister is urgent, your brother is not in a hurry." Peng Dahai knocked the cigarette stick on the table twice, then took a sharp breath, spit out some mist, and said slowly: "You guys, you need a backer." β
"What does Boss Peng mean is that this backer is you?" Fluttershy asks.
"But isn't it, this street is my territory, there are more than a dozen shops of all sizes, I am the big head, and the others are all small heads, they have to rely on me, not me, drink the northwest wind." Peng Dahai said solemnly, "Doing business here, the police, soldiers and ruffians have to charge, what land rental fees, operating fees, public security fees, because I am the big head of this land, so I have all taken care of them, so those who do business on this street have to respect me a little bit, because I didn't know that you were a newcomer before, I thought you would come to tell me, I don't embarrass you, but you are a new man, you don't understand the rules, you didn't come to tell me, this is not what it is today, you see, the car dealership can't drive, and the car is smashed for you." β
Zhuang Yuncheng stared at him indifferently, and a fire had already ignited in his heart.
"So, what do you say?" Fluttershy sneered and asked, "How much does it cost?" β
"This matter..."Peng Dahai paused, pretending to be embarrassed: "At this time, it is no longer possible to solve it with money." β
"What do you want?" Zhuang Yuncheng asked directly.
Peng Dahai said: "It's still ...... Or is it your sister who avoids it first. β
Zhuang Yuncheng gives Fluttershy a look, and Fluttershy consciously steps aside.
"If you want to put down roots here, you can't do it without me...... Well...... Belch...... Let me say it bluntly, I intend to marry you, you are the eldest brother, you can naturally make decisions for your sister-in-law, as long as you agree to her marriage, I guarantee that you will rise step by step in this Xihua Street. Peng Dahai's old face was serious.
Zhuang Yuncheng didn't show surprise, staring at Peng Dahai indifferently, then at Fluttershy, and asked, "Who are you going to marry her?" β
"Me." Peng Dahai said shamelessly.
Zhuang Yuncheng's stomach was churning with bursts of bitter water, if he hadn't been prepared, he thought he would vomit all over the place. He looked at the aging Peng Dahai, whether it was his half-white hair, black and yellow teeth, dark brown old spots, and dirty wrinkles, they were not as disgusting as what he said just now, Zhuang Yuncheng gritted his teeth, "Consider it." He forced a smile and said.
"Okay, let me, a little cub, ask the results the day after tomorrow." Peng Dahai said with a smile.
Zhuang Yuncheng still smiled slightly.
Peng Dahai got up and left, leaving a patch of tobacco ash on the table.
Peng Xiaoqian glanced here, frowned, and then followed.
Zhuang Yuncheng exhaled, as if he had run a few hundred meters, his face turned red, his heart retched, and his forehead was sweating.
"Shameless old man." Zhuang Yuncheng scolded angrily, "There are four wives at home, the youngest is only twenty years old, and he still wants to stuff it!" β
Fluttershy shakes her head, disgusted, not because of his old age, but because he says something disgusting.
"Whew~" Zhuang Yuncheng blew a breath, blew off the soot on the table and said: "He is the head snake of the land, relying on money and power, he will do whatever he wants." β
"Oops old man, at the age of fifty, he still wants to eat tender grass, and he won't live long!" Fluttershy surprisingly curses him.
"What should I do?" Zhuang Yuncheng asked.
"Didn't you say to think about it, depending on the result of your consideration." Fluttershy sits down and stares straight at Zhuang Yuncheng.
"I don't want to see the corners of his mouth, so I quickly beat him away, and if I don't leave, I'm going to vomit." Zhuang Yuncheng still couldn't hide his disgust in his eyes, "My face is wrinkled and I still want to marry a little girl, and the family is dirty into a dung pit and comes out to look for flowers and ask willows, it's disgusting!" β
As he spoke, he picked up a cup of tea, and as soon as he drank it in his mouth, he remembered Peng Dahai's appearance when he said it seriously, he retched for a while and spit out a mouthful of tea.
Fluttershy chuckles and helps him with a slap on the back.
Night, French Concession, restaurant. Tao Ye happily invited his cousin Su Beicheng to come here for dinner, she already liked this cousin who has been meticulous to herself, dedicated wholeheartedly, and talented for more than a year.
"Xiaoye, how did you get here? There are a lot of French people around, and I don't understand French. Su Beicheng asked.
"I just need to understand." Tao Ye smiled and asked Su Beicheng to sit down, and he also sat opposite, and then said a few words of French to a few waiters.
Su Beicheng looked at it with a confused expression, and then the French brought two glasses and a bottle of wine, and poured them for the two.
"Can you drink it?" Tao Ye asked.
"Can be ...... Can ......"
Before he finished speaking, Tao Ye picked up the cup, Su Beicheng laughed helplessly, and slowly picked up the cup. The two touched a glass and took a sip. In fact, this wine is not good, but it is a good product to adjust the atmosphere, and people don't care if it tastes good or not.
"This is just a mouthful, Xiao Ye, you are blushing." Su Beicheng suddenly said, "Since we can't drink, let's not pretend to be elegant, and be happy when we eat a meal at home." β
Tao Ye only looked at him and shook her head with a smile, and then took a few sips in succession - her face was getting redder and redder, and she didn't know if she was drunk or flustered.
"Xiaoye, you...... What happened to you? Su Beicheng asked with a smile, he could see that Tao Ye was full of smiles, and his eyes were shining with stars, which was by no means a sad expression, but as for what was pleasing to him, he didn't know.
"Table-" Tao Ye puffed out his big round eyes, paused and said, "I don't want to call you 'cousin' anymore." β
"And are you going to call me by my name?" Su Beicheng smiled, "It's okay to be close to age, but I'm seven or eight years older than you, you shout no-"
"Beicheng." Tao Ye suddenly spit out two words.
Su Beicheng was stunned, his face suddenly turned red, redder than Tao Ye's face.
Tao Ye looked extremely calm, her eyes seemed to be pierced into Su Beicheng's eyes, she was motionless, her eyelids did not blink.
"Are you drunk or am I drunk?" Su Beicheng stared at her in a panic and confusion, and said to himself: "But I haven't taken a few sips." β
"Hiccup-" Tao Ye hiccuped and smiled innocently, "It's me who is drunk." β
Su Beicheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly and did not speak.
"Come, cousin, drink." Tao Ye felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he urged.
Su Beicheng also noticed this disturbing atmosphere, and the best way was to anesthetize himself to get rid of the uneasiness in his heart, so he also gladly accepted Tao Ye's toast, which he usually didn't drink much.
One glass, two glasses, Tao Ye didn't say a word, her words were all in the wine, she swallowed her difficult words in her stomach, and then passed them to Su Beicheng with affectionate and bright eyes.
After a while, a bottle of red wine was finished, Tao Ye was drunk, drunk with wine; Su Beicheng was also drunk, and he was drunk when he looked at Tao Ye.
Tao Ye lay on the table, occasionally raised his head to look at him, found him beside him, smiled, and buried his head again.
Su Beicheng didn't know French, but he gave the money to the waiter, and the waiter gave change.
"Xiaoye, let's go home." Su Beicheng helped her up, and the drunk pottery leaf was like a piece of marshmallow, soft and sticky.
"I need to go to the bathroom."
"Toilets?" Su Beicheng looked around and asked, "Where is it?" β
Tao Ye stretched out his finger and pointed to the right, and Su Beicheng carried her to that side. Seeing that there were two toilets, with "male, female" written in Chinese and French on the top, and that he was a man and it was difficult to enter, he didn't know what to do.
"This is it." Tao Ye looked up, saw the door number in a trance, pushed Su Beicheng away, and walked inside with the outer gate.
"W-don't fall!"
At this time, a French woman came out of it, Su Beicheng pulled her and asked her to help, she understood what Su Beicheng meant, so she helped Tao Ye to the toilet.
After a while, Tao Ye was helped out by her, "Thank you." Su Beicheng nodded at her and took the Tao Ye.
"Carry me~" Tao Ye said softly.
"If you're like this, I'll have to carry you." Su Beicheng helped her to the wall and leaned against her, holding her bag by herself, squatting slightly, Tao Ye fell down and landed on his shoulder.
"It's so heavy." Su Beicheng stood up and carried him out.
went out and walked to the intersection, Su Beicheng stopped.
"No... I'm not going home. Tao Ye said vaguely.
"What then?" Su Beicheng asked, "Our family has Beiyan's fiancΓ©e and Fujita, you are so drunk, it is not good for you to sleep with Fluttershy, why don't you go home and sleep?" β
"No, I'm not going back." Tao Ye's restless coquettishness increased Su Beicheng's burden even more.
"Okay, if you don't go back, you won't go back."
"Hmm~" Tao Ye muttered and fell asleep.
The road from home was not very close, Su Beicheng couldn't move his back, so he called a rickshaw that hadn't finished work and sat back. Then he carried Tao Ye into his room, laid her flat on the bed, took off her shoes and wiped her face.
Tao Ye's eyes were half-closed and half-open, and his lips moved as if he wanted to speak.
"Did you tell your parents? If you don't go back, they'll be worried. Su Beicheng said.
"I told Tao Xin." Tao Ye muttered.
"Only told him?"
"It's all the same..."
"How can this be the same-"
"Oh, don't talk about it." Tao Ye frowned, closed his eyes, and danced on the bed, "I don't want to answer such a question, I don't care if it's the same or not." β
"Why are you in a hurry?" Su Beicheng asked, "Do you still have a temper when you're drunk?" β
"I don't want to hear anything else, I just want to hear you about the two of us." Tao Ye stretched out a hand weakly, and Su Beicheng hesitated for a moment and held it.
Tao Ye pulled him to his side and lay down, then turned over and pressed his legs on him, and the whole person shrank in front of Su Beicheng's chest.
"You're pretty drunk and you're pretty strong."
"Don't move~" Tao Ye whispered, and then it was silent, she fell asleep, Su Beicheng could only hear her breathing, and could only feel her body rise and fall slightly. Su Beicheng remained motionless, thinking that since Tao Ye was cured of his quirky and lonely mental illness, he was really a different person, becoming warm and generous, and eclectic.
