Chapter 188

188 Taking Advantage

“Alright, I’ll remember!” Luo Cheng looked at Li Xiaoran’s cocky and arrogant expression with fondness.

To be honest, ever since Li Xiaoran left the Li family, this was the first time she had attacked someone at full strength.

She hadn’t scolded anyone in a long time, so now that she suddenly scolded someone, she felt much better.

When Li Shun and Zhao Xiu heard the commotion and saw that their daughter had returned with a smug look, they asked, “What’s going on?”

“Father, Mother, it’s fine! It’s just that some people are snobbish, so I taught them a lesson. That’s all! Let’s go. Don’t let someone irrelevant stop us from earning money!” Li Xiaoran said indifferently.

Seeing that their daughter hadn’t suffered a loss, Li Shun and Zhao Xiu didn’t harp on this matter.

On the other side, Ling Heng only came back to his senses after Li Xiaoran.

Just now, he was scolded by a countryside woman?

Wait a minute, this countryside woman was really impressive!

Her eloquence was superb!

Thinking of something, Ling Heng looked at Luo Cheng.

“Sister-in-law has always been so impressive?”

Luo Cheng glanced at Ling Heng and raised his eyebrows.

After all, they were brothers. As his younger brother, he knew Ling Heng’s personality very well.

“You don’t think she’s a village woman now?”

“Sigh, Seventh Brother, I made a slip of the tongue. In a while, I’ll go and apologize to Sister-in-law! Actually, I was too anxious to see you wasting your time and talent here!” Ling Heng quickly explained, “Seventh Brother, I’m really here to show my concern for you. But now that I’ve seen Sister-in-law’s eloquence, I suddenly have a presumptuous request!”

“Don’t! Stop, Third Brother! Don’t say anything! I don’t care what you’re thinking. Don’t target my wife or me. I’ve said it before, I’m not interested in what you say. Everyone has their own ambitions. You can’t force them. Third Brother, please go back!” Luo Cheng stopped Ling Heng before he could say anything.

“I’m not going back. I still have noodles to eat!” Ling Heng said as he snatched the noodles and chopsticks from the table. He sat on the table and ate angrily.

As he ate, Ling Heng protected the bowl and said, “Just treat it as if I bought this bowl of noodles! I’ll give you money later. I won’t eat your food for nothing!”

Luo Cheng looked at him and said with a smile, “Sure! Then I’ll thank you for taking care of our business!”

Seeing that no one was snatching the noodles from him, Ling Heng started eating with relief.

It had to be said that when the knife-cut noodles were brought over, they smelled very good.

It tasted even better.

Ling Heng, who liked noodles, was already fascinated by the taste and had forgotten what he wanted to say.

On the other side, Gao Jian had already recovered. There were no injuries on his arm, but his hand still felt a little numb.

Seeing that his young master wasn’t in danger, Gao Jian quickly walked to Ling Heng’s side.

After Ling Heng saw Gao Jian, he asked with concern, “Are you alright?”

“No. His arm will be numb for at least three days! Third Brother, you should have other guards! You’d better not let him work for the next three days. Otherwise, his arm will really be crippled!” Luo Cheng looked at Gao Zhong and told him the truth.

Ling Heng frowned when he heard that.

“Seventh Brother, you’re too ruthless!”

“You guys have already bullied me, and he wanted to deal with my wife. How could I be lenient with him?” Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked in return.

When Ling Heng heard Luo Cheng’s words, he thought for a moment and said, “Call Gao Zheng out! Rest at the side! Remember, don’t use your internal energy for three days. After you go back today, rest for three days!”

When Luo Cheng heard his third brother say this, he ignored him and sat at the table to continue drinking water.

After Ling Heng gave the instructions, he remembered that there was still a bowl of noodles in front of him, so he quickly ate again.

Soon, Ling Heng finished the bowl of sliced noodles and was very satisfied.

“Looks like you’re very satisfied! Thank you for your patronage. The noodles cost 200 taels of silver!”

“What?” Ling Heng’s eyes widened. “Did I hear wrongly?”

“You didn’t hear wrongly. Two hundred taels of silver!” Luo Cheng looked at his third brother with a smile as he confirmed.

“You’re robbing me! I saw on your sign that a bowl is only a few copper coins. You actually charged me two hundred taels of silver. Are you robbing me?”

“Of course not! What’s my relationship with you?! We’re biological brothers. Besides, what kind of person are you? This little bit of money is nothing to you!” Luo Cheng said sarcastically.

“Hmph, even if I have money, I shouldn’t spend it like this!” Ling Heng was furious.

“Is that so? Then I’m really sorry! I didn’t look at the bowl of noodles in front of me carefully and let you eat it. I won’t be able to give my wife an explanation. I can call her over to settle it!” As Luo Cheng spoke, he called out, “Wife!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Heng covered Luo Cheng’s mouth.

“I’ll give it to you! I’ll give it to you!”

As Ling Heng spoke, he took out a wallet and paid two hundred taels of silver.

Luo Cheng took the two hundred taels of silver and weighed it in his hand before smiling in satisfaction.

“That’s right! With these two hundred taels of silver, I can explain to my wife!”

“Hmph, look at you. You’re a failure!” Ling Heng felt very upset after being scammed.

“Third Brother, didn’t you inquire about the culture and customs here before coming? Everyone here is afraid of women! Women are the most important!” Luo Cheng explained.

When Ling Heng heard his brother’s words, he immediately remembered what he wanted to say previously, so he ignored the discomfort.

“Seventh Brother, help me! I’m really in trouble this time. I need someone as eloquent as Seventh Sister to help me!”

Luo Cheng seemed to have expected what Ling Heng was going to say. When he said the first word, Luo Cheng had already covered his ears and muttered loudly, “No, no, no!”

This time, Ling Heng was furious.

...

“Hmph, I don’t care. If you don’t agree, I’ll stay here forever!”

With that, Ling Heng looked at Luo Cheng’s expression.

Seeing Luo Cheng’s disapproving expression, he threatened, “Don’t think I can’t find your house! I’ve asked around. I know where your shop and your house are. Even if you can escape now, you can’t escape forever!”

“Whatever! There’s business to do at the shop. Third Brother, sit here and rest!” Luo Cheng said and left.
