"Let bygones be bygones. You and Tang Ren are pretty good now."
Xiao Luo took a sip of tea. He could see that Tang Ren treated his sister well. Not every man could stand his sister's princess temper.
"To be honest, Tang Ren is indeed much better than me, Big Face. He's a doctor. His salary may not be good now, but when he gets more experience, he can easily earn tens of thousands of yuan a month. There's a lot of room for appreciation." Although Zhang Dashan did not want to admit it, the truth was in front of him. Tang Ren was really more suitable to be Xiao Ruyi's partner than he was. He had no choice but to admit it.
The dimness in Xiao Ruyi's eyes dissipated. He curled his lips and said, "Big Face Zhang, I'm surprised by what you said."
"What's there to be surprised about? I'm telling the truth. I'm not exaggerating."
Zhang Dashan picked up a squid with a pair of tongs and put it on the iron plate to grill. "By the way, are there any single girls in your hospital? Introduce one to me. I'm your brother's brother, after all. You have to help me with my marriage."
"Don't worry. If I see someone suitable for you, I'll definitely introduce them to you," Xiao Ruyi said with a smile.
At this time, Tang Ren and Sun Yu returned with the prawns.
Sun Yu had snatched back two whole plates. Tang Ren, on the other hand, had gone there with empty plates, and when he returned, he still had empty plates.
"Honey, those people are too fierce. I didn't manage to snatch a single one."
Tang Ren lowered his head like a defeated rooster. Then, he raised his head and puffed out his chest. He said with determination, "But the next time they bring out the prawns, I'll definitely snatch five or six plates."
"These should be enough!"
Sun Yu was in a particularly good mood. She looked at the two plates of live prawns she had harvested happily.
Xiao Ruyi did not blame Tang Ren. He gestured for him to sit down and said with a smile, "Yuyu, you're amazing. Even those big men can't beat you."
"In the past, I couldn't get it either. Now that I've gotten more, I've gotten more experience." Sun Yu smiled knowingly. It could be seen that she was really happy. She had gained joy from snatching the prawns.
"Come, come, come. Everyone, come and enjoy Yu Yu's battle spoils."
Zhang Dashan laughed and personally threw these river shrimps onto the iron plate to barbecue.
"Eat as much as you can. If it's not enough, I'll go grab more later." Sun Yu bit her lip and said excitedly, her eyes narrowed into crescents.
"If we always let the girls do the work, what's the use of us men? If it's not enough later, just ask Old Xiao to do it," Zhang Dashan said.
Sun Yu looked at Xiao Luo and realized that Xiao Luo was looking at her. She quickly averted her gaze and blushed.
It seemed like there was a chance!
Xiao Ruyi was overjoyed. She was very confident in her brother, Xiao Luo. As long as Xiao Luo was determined to pursue a girl, he would definitely succeed. She was already thinking about whether she should call home and tell her parents that she had introduced a beautiful girl to her brother.
As for Xiao Luo, his impression of Sun Yu was not bad. At the very least, he had a deeper understanding of her.
*****
After leaving the barbecue restaurant, Zhang Dashan, Xiao Ruyi, and Tang Ren casually found an excuse to leave and create an opportunity for Xiao Luo and Sun Yu to be alone.
Xiao Luo was also trying to get to know Sun Yu better.
Sun Yu carried her bag with both hands and took the initiative to break the silence. "I had a great time eating today. Thank you for your hospitality."
"You're welcome!"
This was the perfect time to correct the misunderstanding. "By the way, that car isn't actually mine. It's my friend, Zhang Dashan's."
He was not used to such deception. It made him feel guilty.
Sun Yu's flirtatious face was filled with a pure smile. "Actually, I knew it wasn't yours from the start."
"You knew from the start?"
"Yes. I saw Zhang Dashan's name engraved on the crystal ball ornament on the front of the car. I thought that if it was your car, his name wouldn't be engraved on it."
Xiao Luo smiled. "You're quite attentive."
"Maybe it's because I'm a nurse. I used to be very careless. I often forgot to bring my keys and got locked out of the house. This kind of embarrassing thing happened a few times." Sun Yu laughed softly. Her laughter was as pleasant as a silver bell.
"Is that so?"
Xiao Luo was surprised. It was hard to imagine this girl being locked out of the house.
"Yes. I don't even know what to say. Anyway, it was very embarrassing. I spent the night squatting in the corridor. The next day, I went to work with two panda eyes. Thank goodness I didn't make any mistakes." Sun Yu casually recounted her embarrassing past.
"Do you like being a nurse?"
"How should I put it? It doesn't matter whether I like it or not. Actually, I don't even know what I like to do. I just want to be a good nurse first. What about you? I heard from Sister Ruyi that you're an engineer at Huahai Corporation? "
"I was, but I've already resigned. I'm now unemployed."
"Did you resign because you want to do something you like?"
"Something like that. But I don't know what I like to do."
…
The two chatted like this as they walked towards Sun Yu's residence.
Rivertown was a coastal city. It was also the only city allowed by the country to open casinos. This was an extremely profitable industry. Every district had a large casino. Of course, these casinos were all backed by powerful organizations or individuals.
Guangming District was no exception. Just as Xiao Luo and Sun Yu were chatting happily, a group brawl broke out at the entrance of a casino in the distance.
It was a middle-aged man with a face full of stubble and a pair of lifeless eyes. He was curled up on the ground, being beaten up by six or seven men.
Sun Yu's expression changed abruptly. She ran over recklessly and stopped the men who were beating him. "Stop! Stop! Why are you beating my uncle?"
"He's your uncle?"
A man in a suit waved his hand to signal for his men to stop. A pair of triangular eyes stared coldly at Sun Yu.
Sun Yu helped the middle-aged man up and nodded. "Yes."
"That's great. Your uncle owes our casino two million dollars in gambling debt. Since you're his niece, you can pay this money for him," the man in the suit said.
Sun Yu turned her head and looked at her uncle with trembling eyes. She could not believe that her uncle owed so much money.
Sun Jian 'nan sighed regretfully. He was sure that the man in the suit was telling the truth.
He begged, "Manager Geng, can you give me a few more days? Just a few more days. I'll definitely pay you back."
"I've already given you seven days. If you don't pay me back, I'll have to throw you into the sea to feed the fish," Manager Geng said coldly.
Manager Geng said coldly, "However, I can point you in the right direction. Your niece is very pretty. You can use her to pay the debt."
"No, you can do whatever you want to me. Don't hurt her." Sun Jian 'nan shook his head like a rattle drum. He endured the excruciating pain all over his body and stood in front of Sun Yu.
"Oh, you've got some backbone. Let's continue then. I'll see how long you can last." Manager Geng's face turned ferocious as he waved his finger.
A few of his men heard him and stepped forward to punch and kick the middle-aged man.
"Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" Sun Yu was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Xiao Luo walked over and said calmly, "You have no right to beat him up. It doesn't matter if he owes you money or not. Even if you're here to collect the debt, you can't take extreme measures. Otherwise, it's against the law."
Manager Geng was taken aback. He then sneered, "Where did this hothead come from? If you want to poke your nose into other people's business, you should know where you are."
"I really want to know where this place is. By the way, let me remind you that I've recorded the scene of you beating him up. If you don't stop the violence, I'll have to call the police." Xiao Luo took out his phone and smiled.
Call the police?
That's new!
Manager Geng wanted to laugh. This was the first time in more than a decade that someone had dared to challenge their casino.
"Kid, I was flattering you when I called you a hothead. Do you know that you're courting death? I'll give you three seconds to delete the video. Otherwise, you'll have to bear the consequences! "
