In the night breeze, Tang Boqi's hair was soaked with sweat. He panted heavily and asked Song Tianyao, "Aren't you afraid I'll betray you?"
"Even if you dare to sell, would the Lin Family dare to buy? Furthermore, you don't even know what I, Song Tianyao, am thinking right now. What do you have to offer? If you really want to sell, I can introduce you to a nightclub to become a gigolo." Song Tianyao's tone was calm, yet brimming with confidence. After speaking, he turned and walked towards Brother Xiong and Ning Zikun's chess game, calling out to Brother Xiong, "Since I started chatting with Sister Xiong, you've already lost two games in a row. How can you still remain calm and continue playing? Get me some food; I'm hungry, I have a good appetite tonight!"
Brother Xiong stood up from his seat and rushed into the kitchen to help Song Tianyao prepare dinner. Song Tianyao sat in the empty seat Brother Xiong had made, raised his hand and made a knight's move. "Double Horses Drinking at the Spring is just the beginning. Be careful, Mr. Ning. Few people can understand my moves."
Chapter 378 Shui Fong
"Boss, are you really going to let that handsome guy follow you from now on?" Huang Liu asked as Tang Boqi Song Tianyao a hotel on their way to the Kowloon Restaurant.
Song Tianyao leaned back in the back seat with his eyes closed and smiled, saying, "What, you think he's more handsome than you and stole your thunder?"
"He's clearly a complete good-for-nothing, just like the two Lin Family brothers from that night. Just like me, stupid is stupid, and ignorant is ignorant. Don't get involved and cause yourself headaches. You told him to go back to United States, but he stupidly chose to stay. Having someone like that around who can't see his own place will cause trouble sooner or later." Huang Liu told Song Tianyao his opinion of Tang Boqi.
In fact, Huang Liu wasn't as stupid as he claimed. He was very smart. His smartness lay in his insight and judgment. If he didn't understand something, he wouldn't let himself rack his brains without finding a solution. He would simply ask Song Tianyao for the answer directly, which was more effective than him overthinking. After all, Song Tianyao wouldn't hide anything from him.
However, Huang Liu doesn't believe that his excellent eyesight and judgment allow him to do things beyond his own capabilities.
In his eyes, Tang Boqi was simply stupid. A young Chinese man from United States, with no connections whatsoever, had stumbled straight into a vortex beyond his control. He'd only gotten lucky and realized that staying with the Lin Family would mean certain death, so he escaped early. Even Song Tianyao had told him to go back to United States, yet this guy still chose to stay?
Even an idiot would know that we should go back to United States now!
He has nothing; both sides are strong and well-equipped. What makes him think he can compete with these people?
"Yes, I kindly wanted him to go back to United States and not come back, but what can I do if he doesn't listen to me? He chose this path himself, and when he reaches the end, it's not fair to blame others." Song Tianyao opened his eyes and looked out at the night sky. "Stupidity and curiosity are both incurable diseases."
"Not just these two, that guy Nine-Tattooed Dragon's stomach might be incurable too." For some reason, Huang Liu, remembering Nine-Tattooed Dragon's frightening appetite, added.
The car pulled up outside the Kowloon Restaurant. Song Tianyao got out and went inside. It was past lunchtime, and all the tables were empty. Qi Weiwen was behind the counter, calculating the day's income on an abacus. A dozen or so children who worked at the restaurant were gathered around a large table, laughing and playing. Song Chengqi and several elderly people were serving them food. No one noticed Song Tianyao walk in. Suddenly, a shout rang out:
"Boss! Boss, over here!"
In the corner, at a small table, Sister Xiong stood up and waved her strong arm at Song Tianyao as he entered.
"A-Yao? Coming over so late?" Hearing the voice, Qi Weiwen looked up, looked at Song Tianyao who entered, and then at Sister Xiong: "So you're the boss this lady is talking about? I should have brought them an extra pot of tea and a basket of pastries."
"I've arranged to have a late-night snack here, so please make the kitchen work a bit. Even if you don't have abalone or shark fin, at least get a grouper." Song Tianyao smiled at Qi Weiwen, then walked to the large table and respectfully greeted his grandfather, Song Chengqi, "Grandpa."
"Hmm." Song Chengqi nodded to Song Tianyao, handed the bowl of rice she had prepared to a child beside her, and said, "Your eyes are getting bags under your eyes. It's obvious you've been stressed lately. Try to go for a run when you have time, exercise, and go to bed early and get up early."
"Know."
Go see your guest.
After Song Chengqi spoke, Song Tianyao walked towards Sister Xiong's direction. Huang Liu, carrying some fruit and candy he had taken from the car, swaggered over, put the things on the table, and grinned mischievously at the children who had been attracted to him, saying, "Hey, I'm Brother Six. Say something nice and I'll give you all these things. The one who's sweet-talking and makes me happy can get a couple more candies."
The elderly people at the table watched the dozen or so children with Song Chengqi, smiling silently.
These children worked in the restaurant, running up and down the stairs all day to deal with all kinds of customers. Their mouths and eyesight were already far superior to those of other children their age. At this moment, they all put on bright smiles and wanted to greet Huang Liu, but unexpectedly, an old man next to them was holding an infant who cried out first, speaking before everyone else. The old man hurriedly picked up two grains of rice and put them near the baby's mouth to coax him to quiet down.
"Wow... You can't even speak properly yet, but you're already in a hurry to grab candy like them? And you even won first place?" Huang Liu laughed, pointing at the other children and saying, "Look at you all, you can't even beat this little guy. Keep your word, what's your name?"
As Huang Liu spoke, he rummaged through the pile of food he had brought and pulled out several packets of Britain baby formula that he had specially brought for the abandoned babies in the Elderly Home, placing them next to the elderly people holding the babies.
"His name is Song Shiyi." Qi Weiwen, carrying a bowl of soothing pear soup, happened to walk over and answered Huang Liu's question at the right moment.
She originally wanted Song Tianyao to hear, but when she turned to look at Song Tianyao, she found that Song Tianyao had already gone to the small table to meet the guests. This made Qi Weiwen quite regretful that she couldn't witness Song Tianyao's wonderful expression when he learned that he now had eight uncles who were crying for food.
