"Let's not spout nonsense here first. I have something to talk to you about. Let's find a place to sit down. "
Wang Chong patted Wei Hao's shoulders and said.
"Alright! Wait for me here! "
Seeing Wang Chong being so serious, Wei Hao retracted his smile. He grew up together with Wang Chong, and he knew that Wang Chong wouldn't ask for help easily.
Furthermore, he didn't like coming to the Eight Gods Pavilion. There must be a reason for him to appear here!
"Gao Fei! Not a single cent less will be given to me. Hand it over obediently, or else you can forget about living in the capital in the future! "
Wei Hao tossed a bag over and pulled Wang Chong away.
The scions of the prestigious clans in the Eight Gods Pavilion were reputable individuals. If they were to go back on their words, it would be embarrassing for them. Wei Hao wasn't afraid that they would go back on their words.
"Right, Wang Chong, can I talk to you about something?" Wei Hao suddenly said.
"What?"
Wang Chong turned around and asked in astonishment.
"Can you not call me Youngster Wei in front of so many people?"
Wei Hao lowered his voice and revealed a bitter expression. Upon seeing this, Wang Chong burst into laughter:
"Brat! Don't even think about it! — — "
"…"
…
The Eight Gods Pavilion was bustling with activity. Wei Hao pulled Wang Chong to his seat and sat down.
"Where did you go this morning? When I heard that you were out of your seclusion, I went to your house early in the morning, but your mother said that you weren't around. It sure isn't easy for me to meet you. "
Wei Hao was sweating profusely. He sat on his seat and drank a mouthful of the Western Region pomegranate juice provided by the Eight Gods Pavilion.
"I had something on in the morning, so I went out."
Wang Chong faintly smiled.
Hearing Wei Hao's complaints, Wang Chong felt a surge of warmth in his heart. Only those who had lost something would know how to cherish it.
Only Wang Chong knew how precious this seemingly ordinary scene was.
Wei Hao would never know that at this time in his past life, he had already fallen out with him.
In his previous life, he had a very strange feeling towards this world. This included his parents, brothers, sisters, and of course, Wei Hao.
Back then, Wei Hao was Wang Chong's good brother, but he wasn't Wang Chong's. Especially during the seven days he was in confinement.
Wei Hao, the so-called "good brother", didn't even look at him. What kind of good brother was this? Good friends? Good brothers?
Even fair-weather friends would be better than this, right?
From then on, Wang Chong completely broke off with him. She never saw him again.
Only a very long time later did Wang Chong realize that while he was grounded for seven days, Wei Hao was grounded for seven days due to his relationship with his family.
At that time, Wei Hao's father forbade Wei Hao from interacting with him due to his poor reputation. However, Wei Hao, who had always been obedient, contradicted his father for her sake.
This completely infuriated his father, and caused Wei Hao to be beaten up!
During those seven days, he was actually lying in bed.
However, Wei Hao never mentioned it in front of him, not even mentioning it. It was only until a long time later, when the great calamity came, that the two brothers who hadn't seen each other for a long time reunited. That was when Wang Chong found out about everything.
At the same time, Wang Chong also knew that the mysterious person who had been helping him from behind the scenes after the Wang Clan was no other than Wei Hao.
"Time reveals a man's heart." At the last moment of his life, Wang Chong finally knew what a true friend was, and what a true brother was.
It was a pity that by the time Wang Chong came to his senses, it was already too late. The world had collapsed, and the heavenly continent no longer existed, let alone a mere Wei Hao.
When Wei Hao finally died in front of him, Wang Chong couldn't help but cry.
The biggest mistake he made in his life was to lose a true friend, a true brother! This was the pain in Wang Chong's heart, and also the regret of Wang Chong's life!
"Good brother! Don't worry, in this life, no matter what, I will never let you go. "
Wang Chong looked at the carefree Wei Hao, who seemed to know nothing, and thought.
"… Speaking of which, you really caused a huge commotion with Yao Feng this time. It's a pity that fellow's martial arts are too powerful, and I'm not his match. Otherwise, I would have gone with you. Speaking of which, Yao Feng is too much. To think that he would make use of Ma Zhou to deal with you. "
Wei Hao slammed the table and said angrily:
"I told you long ago that Ma Zhou is a bastard, a hooligan. He must have some ulterior motives for hanging out with you. Do you believe me now? "
"I believe you, I believe you."
Wang Chong smiled. Looking at his brother's grumbling face, he felt warmth in his heart. This wasn't the first time he had heard such grumbling, but the feeling this time around was different.
It had been a long, long time since they last saw such an ordinary scene between the two brothers.
"… Brother, birds of a feather flock together. It's impossible for a cat and a rat to mix together, it's impossible for a fish to leave its habitat, and it's impossible for a bird to burrow underground like a worm. Nothing good will come out of the environment we were born in. Ma Zhou's matter is a good example. In the future, you shouldn't hang out with Ma Zhou and his gang anymore. "
"Listen to me, come to the Eight Gods Pavilion more often in the future. Here, we are all of the same background, and we are all going to inherit our family's business in the future. It will be beneficial for us to interact more and have some fun. "
Wei Hao rambled on and said earnestly. To his brothers, Wei Hao had always been someone who was willing to sacrifice himself for them.
Due to Wang Chong's rebellious personality, he was getting closer and closer to Ma Zhou and his gang. Seeing this, Wei Hao felt anxious and worried about Wang Chong.
This wasn't the first time Wei Hao had spoken to Wang Chong about Ma Zhou's matter. In Wei Hao's view, Wang Chong probably wouldn't listen to his words. However, Wang Chong's reaction this time around was out of his expectations.
"Alright!"
Wang Chong spoke a single word decisively.
"Alright?"
Wei Hao was stunned. His outstretched hand pointed at the air, and the long speech that was about to come out of his mouth suddenly stopped in its tracks.
Alright? That's it?
Wei Hao widened his eyes, unable to react to the situation.
He had told him so many times in the past, but it was useless. This time around, he listened to him just once?
How was this possible?
Wei Hao blinked his eyes, unable to comprehend the situation.
"You won't hang out with Ma Zhou and his gang anymore?"
"Un."
"Will you come to the Eight Gods Pavilion with me more often?"
"Un."
With a smile, Wang Chong nodded his head once more.
Wei Hao blinked his eyes, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.
"Wang Chong, you're really different from before."
Wei Hao assessed Wang Chong from head to toe in astonishment. The current Wang Chong was completely different from before. In the past, Wang Chong would never come to the Eight Gods Pavilion.
It was even more impossible for him to listen to his advice.
Furthermore, the current Wang Chong was calm and composed. His disposition was completely different from before, as though he was a completely different person.
"Hahaha! You've finally thought it through! I'm truly happy for you! "
Wei Hao suddenly thought of something, and he patted Wang Chong's shoulder with a delighted expression.
Wang Chong was framed by Ma Zhou and was locked up for seven days. As the saying went, a fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. In Wei Hao's view, the reason why Wang Chong underwent such a drastic change was due to Ma Zhou.
Wang Chong had truly come to his senses!
There was nothing that could make Wei Hao happier than this.
"Hehe."
Wang Chong chuckled. He knew what Wei Hao was thinking, but Wang Chong wouldn't reveal the true reason. This time, Wang Chong had another mission.
"It's about time."
Wang Chong chuckled as he turned to look at a certain spot in the crowd. As though responding to Wang Chong's thoughts, a commotion broke out amidst the crowd.
Before he could see anyone, an enigmatic voice could be heard before he could even see them.
"Yo! Isn't this Young Master Wang Chong? "
The voice was filled with sarcasm and mockery. The crowd parted, revealing a fifteen to sixteen-year-old youth wearing a silver crown. He wore a white robe embroidered with cloud patterns and had a peach blossom fan in his hand. He strode over with his head held high, his face filled with disdain.
A large group of people followed closely behind him, laughing and joking.
"Su Bai! What are you doing here? "
Upon seeing this person, Wei Hao's expression changed. He stood up abruptly and hostility could be seen in his eyes:
"We don't welcome you here. Scram!"
Wei Hao shot forward and stood in front of Wang Chong worriedly. Su Bai was the son of Duke of Su, and Duke of Su was close to the Yao Clan.
Wang Chong had just offended the Yao Clan. This Su Bai probably didn't come with good intentions!
"Hmph, Wei Hao, stop pretending. This isn't your home. Why can't I be here? Besides, did I say that I'm here to look for you? Wang Chong, don't you think so? "
As Su Bai spoke, his cold gaze fell on Wang Chong, who was standing behind Wei Hao.
Wang Chong glanced at Gao Fei, who was standing behind Su Bai with his head lowered. He knew that Su Bai was brought here by Gao Fei. Since Gao Fei couldn't deal with Wei Hao and him, he brought Su Bai here as reinforcements.
To put it more bluntly, Gao Fei was arranged by Su Bai to harm Wei Hao. Since Su Bai's plan failed, he couldn't help but find fault with Wang Chong.
However, Wang Chong wasn't interested in bickering with him.
"Su Bai, you came at the right time. Lend me some money! "
Wang Chong raised his head to look at Su Bai and said calmly.
The moment he said those words, the area within ten zhang suddenly fell silent. The originally cheerful crowd looked at Wang Chong in shock.
Even Wei Hao, who was standing in front of Wang Chong like the Eagle protecting its chick, was stunned.
Borrow money?
Wang Chong wanted to borrow money from Su Bai? What was going on?
Didn't Wang Chong know that he was the person Su Bai hated the most? Furthermore, given the relationship between the Su Clan and the Yao Clan, why would Su Bai lend him money?
"Hahaha! Wang Chong, are you insane? What makes you think that I would lend you money? "
After a moment of shock, Su Bai couldn't help but burst into laughter. Behind him, the crowd also couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"This lad must be insane!"
"To think that the young master would lend him money!"
"I think he's still awake from his morning nap. What nonsense are you spouting here? "
…
A group of people started jeering and mocking him.
The heir of the Wang Clan, Wang Chong, was borrowing money from the opposing Duke Su's heir? There was nothing more hilarious than this in the Eight Gods Pavilion today.
This lad was too wishful thinking.
Hearing the laughter around him, Wei Hao felt so awkward that he could die.
"Wang Chong, what are you doing?"
Even now, he still didn't think that Wang Chong was the real deal. Given the relationship between Su Bai and Wang Chong, it was impossible for Wang Chong to borrow money from him.
"2% interest! A month! Calculated by the days! When the time comes, the principal and interest will be paid together! "
Wang Chong chuckled. Leaning back, he said these simple words. In an instant, the entire hall fell silent.
Even the scions and scions from the other tables were attracted by Wang Chong's words. Their eyes widened in shock. Ssss!
Gasps could be heard. Even Su Bai widened his eyes, as though he was seeing Wang Chong for the first time.
Wang Chong's words were concise, but all scions in the capital understood what he meant. 2% interest, calculated by the days, would be 60% interest in a month. Ten silver taels would become sixteen silver taels!
Wang Chong's interest was even crazier than loan sharks!
"Wang Chong, you're insane!"
Wei Hao's face suddenly warped. He turned around and grabbed Wang Chong's arm. His fingers were so nervous that they were almost digging into Wang Chong's flesh.
"If you lack money, you can just tell me. Why are you borrowing money from them! "
