Chapter 285: Ji Siying

Xiao Luo swiftly chugged his glass of liquor and showed Xiao Qiudong his empty glass. He jokingly said, “Donggua, it’s your turn. Bottoms up and we will still be brothers!”

His words were hyper-aggressive. Upon hearing them, Xiao Qiudong realized that unlike the others, Xiao Luo was uncontrollable and would not succumb to his usual tricks. This made him feel very defeated. He usually had things his way solely from his persuasion skills, regardless if he was facing the bosses or grassroots workers. He almost always capitalized on his subject’s weakness. The cases of outright defiance were very rare.

Xiao Luo’s weakness, for example, was the sentimental feeling he had for their childhood friendship. As long as he used that as the basis of his requests, it was difficult for Xiao Luo to reject them. Of course, that was his understanding of the situation, at least before all of this had happened.

Xiao Dizhang smiled and hurriedly asked, “Xiao Luo, what’re you doing? You’re good brothers with Qiudong!”

“It’s because we’re good brothers that he should drink this glass of liquor!”

Xiao Luo was now truly enraged since his sincerity was returned with dishonesty. There was no point in being sentimental about the past friendship they had.

“Xiao Luo, are you being serious?” Xiao Qiudong willfully stared at Xiao Luo.

“I shall not comment on other stuff but one thing. Are you my brother?”

Xiao Luo decided to give Xiao Qiudong a taste of his own medicine. “If you’re my brother, then finish this glass. I don’t have any other intentions. Since we’re at a banquet, let’s just do it for fun!”

He had a soft smile on his face.

Xiao Qiudong almost lost control of his composure. “Have you heard of moral kidnapping?”

Moral kidnapping?

Xiao Luo mirthlessly smiled. He was impressed by Xiao Qiudong’s wittiness. He had even brought up moral kidnapping.

His smile suddenly faded as he and shouted, “I am telling you to drink it right now!”

His last two words sounded like thunder. Xiao Qiudong’s pupils instantly contracted. In his mind, Xiao Luo’s words struck him like a voice of divine punishment. It felt as if all the other background noise had suddenly disappeared, and that he had been sent into a light trance. Those words made him subconsciously chug down the drink in his hand.

Xiao Luo lightly patted his shoulder and smiled with satisfaction. “That’s my brother.”

After that, Xiao Qiudong finally regained his composure. He did not know that he was temporarily hypnotized by Xiao Luo. All he could taste in his oral cavity was a ball of burning flame that encompassed spiciness and the bitterness of the liquor. It was churning and dancing in his mouth like a poison dragon. It brought tears to his eyes. He was unable to stop dry-coughing. His face had also turned a shade of red that resembled a pig liver.

Brothers?

Xiao Luo let out of light yet disrespectful sigh before leaving with both of his hands behind his back.

Was Xiao Qiudong even worthy to be considered that word?

At this moment, a white luxury car emerged from the dirt road that cut through Luo Village. One could tell from the brightness of the color and the overall appearance of the car that it was quite pricy.

Xiao Qiudong had a few sips of water. After he was feeling better, he blurted out, “An Alfa luxury car worth nearly 00,000!”

Gasp...

After hearing about the price of the car, everyone at the banquet uncontrollably gasped. They were completely shocked. Luo Village was a very rural and poor location. There were barely any cars passing by all year-round. Only Xiao Luo owned a car in the entire village. A car was a rather distant luxury item to everyone else, let alone a car that cost 00,000. That truly impacted their mental capacity. They never fathomed the existence of a car that had that high of a value. It was almost equivalent to an astronomical figure.

“Qiudong, does that car really cost around 00,000?”

Although Xiao Dizhang was the village secretary, he was not too well-informed. It was considered a feat that he owned a tractor that cost around ,000 or so. He never expected to see such an expensive car in the village with his own eyes.

Xiao Qiudong nodded and replied, “Yeah, it’s a super famous brand. The 00,000 is just the price of the car alone. With all the processing fees, it would have easily gone up to million.”

“A million?”

Xiao Dizhang was so surprised that he had lost some composure. The rest of the attendees had the same reaction. A million was a sum of money they could never accumulate, even if they were given two lives.

“Who is driving that car? He’s surely not coming to our village, is he? Secretary Dizhang, go take a look. He’s probably just lost.” An Yuan was curious, but she did not want to be the outlier to approach first. Instead, she hurried Xiao Dizhang to take action.

“I know what I need to do, so keep your nosy mouth shut!”

Xiao Dizhang scolded her because he was sick of and disgusted by An Yuan. She always stirred up sh*t in the village, and she was backed by her many brothers and husband. This unhappiness had been accumulating for a long time in his heart.

An Yuan intended to clap back with some ugly words, but she was quick enough to consider that Xiao Dizhang was the village secretary. She had many things at his mercy, so she forcefully swallowed back her words.

“Look, the car door opened, and someone is getting out!”

“It’s a very pretty girl.”

“Eh, that girl seems to know Xiao Luo! She’s chatting with him!”

Everyone at the banquet glanced over at the dirt road...

She was a pretty girl. She looked like she had come right out of the television as the female lead actor. Her long black hair was untied, and her skin was fair as snow. She had clear and bright eyes. Her brows were thin and curvy like willow leaves. Her lips were thin and plump like two rose petals.

She was so beautiful and resembled a holy fairy.

Such a girl had come to Luo Village. It was beyond their imagination.

Everyone had their eyes fixated on her. They were completely stunned by the presence of such a beautiful girl in a poor and rural area like Luo Village. In their knowledge, a girl of such quality would never come to such a place.

“What is she talking about with Xiao Luo?” a woman asked curiously.

An Yuan replied, “What could they be talking about? Of course, she’s asking for direction. Do you think that little useless jerk could know such a beautiful girl?

Many people frowned upon hearing her words. They all felt that she was too vicious. Besides, her harsh words were uncalled for since they were all from the same family.

Xiao Dizhang stared at An Yuan. He approached Xiao Luo with a smiling face. Xiao Qiudong and the others curiously followed behind him.

“Xiao Luo, who’s this girl?” Xiao Dizhang asked with a smile.

The girl smiled sweetly, grabbed Xiao Luo by his arm, and introduced herself. “Hello Uncle, my name is Ji Siying. I am Xiao Luo’s girlfriend!”

Xiao Luo’s girlfriend?

Upon hearing that, everyone was stunned and stared at Xiao Luo in shock. Nobody thought that a girl who was beautiful as a fairy would be Xiao Luo’s girlfriend. It was simply too surprising.

An Yuan’s face turned red. She had just commented that Xiao Luo was a useless jerk and the girl probably just lost. She been immediately proven incorrect and was very ashamed of that.

Xiao Qiudong’s face started to become quite weird. He did not hide his surprised expression at all. At the same time, a flash of envy and jealousy shined. Although it quickly faded from his eyes, he thought this girl, Ji Siying, was really beautiful. She was much more beautiful than his wife. Her features and figure were top-notch. The fact that such a girl was with Xiao Luo made his heart feel imbalanced.
