Qin Xiao skillfully parked the car outside a barbecue restaurant called Zhang's Barbecue.

The barbecue restaurant is not large, and several large barbecue grills are placed outside, and the charcoal fire is blazing, and the meat on it is bubbling with oil. There are many small tables and benches around, and people come and go.

The dishes are neatly arranged in the large freezers in the house, including pork skin, dried tofu, meat skewers, and oysters.

"Yo, Xiao Qin, you haven't been here for a long time, sit inside, and there is still a place."

The boss, who is over forty years old, skillfully shakes the meat skewers in one hand and greets them warmly.

Seeing Yu Menghuan beside Qin Xiao, he smiled again, "This is your girlfriend, the little girl is so beautiful, she is worthy of you." It's not that I said, Xiao Qin, you are not too young, it's time to get married......"

This attitude ~ is like a very close elder.

Yu Menghuan raised her eyes curiously to look at Qin Xiao, only to see that his expression was also a little relaxed, and he nodded at the boss without any arrogance, "This is my daughter-in-law, Xiuxiu, this is my old friend, Uncle Li." ”

"Hello Uncle Li."

Yu Menghuan hid shyly beside Qin Xiao and said hello with a shy smile.

"Hey~ good! Sit inside, whatever you want to eat, the little girl can take it as she wants, don't be polite to your uncle. Xiao Qin, take your daughter-in-law in, there is a lot of smoke outside, and there is a place for you inside. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Li."

Qin Xiao gently took Yu Menghuan's hand and went inside, there was a slightly chubby middle-aged woman keeping accounts, obviously the proprietress here, and Uncle Li outside.

Seeing that Qin Xiao was also very enthusiastic, she hurriedly led them inside, "Come on, come on, go in and eat, this place has always been reserved for you." ”

A curtain was raised, and a small boxy wooden table was placed inside, which was cleaner and quieter than the outside.

Qin Xiao dragged two stools to sit down at random, and ordered a few dishes by the way, and that attitude was as comfortable as going home.

"Brother Qin, do you come here often?"

After Aunt Li went out, Yu Menghuan asked with some curiosity.

Qin Xiao nodded, "Well, I come often, and I have known Uncle Li for more than ten years." ”

Yu Menghuan's eyes widened slightly, "So long?" ”

Qin Xiaolang laughed twice, raised his hand and gently rubbed Yu Menghuan's head, "When I first came out, I didn't have any money on me, and I still owed a lot of debt. It's Uncle Li who often takes me in, otherwise I might starve to death on the streets one day. ”

Not only him, but also Chen Mingfeng.

Don't look at the current scenery of the two of them, more than ten years ago, one was more embarrassed than the other.

"So miserable?"

Yu Menghuan's eyes blinked slightly, took the initiative to hold his palm, and said gently, "Then Brother Qin must have had a very hard time to have today." ”

"It's not hard."

Qin Xiao shook his head.

Before he finished speaking, Aunt Li came in from outside with a teapot, "Don't say this, what's wrong with telling your girlfriend the truth?" ”

Aunt Li glared at Qin Xiao lightly, and enthusiastically walked to Yu Menghuan's side and said "ouch", "Little girl, let me tell you, Xiao Qin is just hard-mouthed." Don't look at him now, he was hungry for nine meals in three days. ”

"Poof~"

Yu Menghuan covered her lips and smiled, "Brother Qin still has a hungry stomach." ”

Qin Xiao scratched her head in embarrassment, and didn't stop Aunt Li from talking, just took the teapot in her hand and poured two cups.

"Not really."

Aunt Li was angry when she said it, "It's not his bastard father, he doesn't go home all day long, he doesn't make money, he knows how to drill into the casino." Xiao Qin's brain was so good that he was the first in the exam every year. ”

As a result, his father refused to let him go to school, and the school teacher came to the third place. His dad took his tuition fees to gamble, lost all his money, and owed a lot of debt. Within two years, people drank to death, and the loan sharks blocked Xiao Qin all day long. ”

"How old was Xiao Qin then? If you don't have twelve years old, you have to beg for a living on the street, can you not work hard? ”

Yu Menghuan was stunned when she heard it.

She probably knew that it was not easy for Qin Xiao to get to this day, but she didn't know that he had such a hard time.

"Brother Qin~"

Yu Menghuan slowly raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes flashing with distressed water.

Qin Xiao was shocked, and hurriedly said in a soft voice, "It's all in the past, it's okay." ”

This little ancestor, don't cry again!

"Little girl, how old are you? How long have you known Xiao Qin? ”

Aunt Li asked carefully, and glanced at Qin Xiao with hatred that iron is not steel.

It's really stupid, I didn't see the little girl feel distressed, and I didn't hug it, this EQ is half a pound and eight taels with my old man, no wonder I found a girlfriend at twenty-eight or nine.

"I'm eighteen."

Yu Menghuan bowed her head and smiled shyly, "I've known Brother Qin for a while. ”

"It's only eighteen~ good! So young. ”

The little girl couldn't have been tricked by Xiao Qin, right?

Aunt Li glanced at Qin Xiao suspiciously, and then continued, "Let me tell you, don't look at our Xiao Qin's education, but he is a good person." You will definitely not be able to suffer a loss with Xiao Qin, you two are good, if he bullies you, you tell me, I will scold him! ”

It's hard to find such a beautiful girl, so you have to help Xiao Qin tie it up!

"Okay, thank you, Aunt Li."

"No thanks, no thanks, you guys are chatting, I'm going out to get busy."

Aunt Li laughed for a while and went out, Yu Menghuan took a sip of tea, and looked at Qin Xiao with rolling eyes, "Brother Qin, you haven't told me about your past." ”

"What's there to talk about then?"

"But I want to hear it~"

Yu Menghuan moved the stool, got closer to Qin Xiao, leaned on him, and said with a gentle expression, "You just tell me about it, and I'll tell you too, okay?" ”

Qin Xiao's expression moved, "I owed a loan shark at the beginning, but I really didn't have a place to run away, so I sold myself in and followed them to ......."

In fact, it is not as simple as he said.

At the time, the twelve-year-old Qin Xiao repeatedly avoided the debt collectors, and dared to smash and beat, injuring several adult strong men. This ruthlessness was taken by the leader, and he helped him repay the loan shark, so he took him with him.

At that time, Qin Xiao knew Chen Mingfeng, who was suffering from the same illness, and his friendship was not bad.

Qin Xiao pondered, he was no longer saved, and Chen Mingfeng had not dropped out of school.

So Qin Xiao relied on the share obtained by his ruthless hands to pay Chen Mingfeng's tuition. He was fighting for his life in the gang, Chen Mingfeng was studying hard in school, and finally he got to the top and got a shrewd and loyal little brother.

The two of them usurped the position of the boss, and became bigger and stronger, and finally became the terrifying existence of City C.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Yu Menghuan could still guess a rough idea, and estimated that there was a murder case in his hand.

But......

A few years ago, the domestic situation was not good, there were small social groups everywhere, Qin Xiao could be regarded as taking off on the tuyere, and later opened various company clubs, laundering funds and industries.

Otherwise, with the situation of the severe crackdown in the past two years, Qin Xiao would probably have to go to prison.

Of course, Yu Menghuan suspected that he hadn't washed much white at all.

"Are you afraid? If you dare to leave in the future, my brother will not spare you. ”

Qin Xiao deliberately scared Yu Menghuan loudly, but the hand that fell on her waist was very light, showing the posture of a guardian.
