Chapter 338: Harmonious Divine Letter
After Li Xin and He Qiong got engaged, although they had already confirmed their relationship, the few people around Li Xin still called Line: Qiuti sister-in-law, while they merely politely addressed He Qiong as Miss He.
This difference in address makes it clear at a glance what their attitude is toward He Qiong and Line: Qiuti.
Line: Qiuti stood behind Li Xin, massaging his shoulders; upon hearing the address "Tian Shou", a hint of satisfaction appeared on her face.
She also understood that these people's address of her was not out of respect for her, but because A Xin's attitude toward her had never changed.
Li Xin watched all this, also feeling somewhat amused.
But now that he is engaged to He Qiong, he must respect her feelings, after all she is the legitimate one.
He will mention this to a few people later, so that a small matter of address doesn't make He Qiong uncomfortable.
Huobao edged up to Li Xin, wanting to speak but hesitating, feeling a bit embarrassed to speak up.
Li Xin snapped angrily: "Everyone here is our own; if you have something to say, say it; if you have a fart, let it out; what's there to hide?"
Xiao En whispered in Li Xin's ear: "Brother Xin, Huobao is getting married; he's embarrassed to speak up."
Li Xin glanced at Huobao and asked: "Who is the bride?"
Huobao scratched his head embarrassedly: "Big Brother, I've been following sister-in-law all day at the accounting firm, and that's how I caught eyes with Xiao Yu."
Li Xin asked, somewhat surprised: "You little brat, do you have anything to talk about with her? Can you two actually chat?"
Huobao replied proudly: "Big Brother, you're underestimating people; I don't understand Xiao Yu's professional matters, but she's very curious about what the martial world is like, so that gives us something to talk about."
Li Xin thought for a moment and asked: "Huobao, do her family members agree?"
"After all, marriage isn't just between the two of you; if this isn't settled well, there will be many troubles later."
Huobao answered with a smile: "Big Brother, Xiao Yu's family doesn't object to this; after all, I am sister-in-law's driver, a position not just anyone can hold."
"Her family opened a tea restaurant in Copper Gong Bay; they clearly know who's behind me. As your disciple, Big Brother, I'm also riding on your coattails—others may not look at me, but they'll have to look at your face, right?"
Li Xin turned to Line: Qiuti and said: "Get ready; let's both go to Copper Gong Bay."
Huobao waved his hand and quickly said: "Big Brother, no need; both sets of parents have already met, there's no need for you to make the trip yourself."
Li Xin stood up, gave Huobao a slap, and snapped: "Are you brainless? People know you're backed by me; if I don't go myself, they'll still think you're just a dispensable nobody by my side!"
"After raising a daughter for over twenty years, she ends up marrying a driver—what would you think if it were you?"
Huobao took the blow, his face smiling but his eye sockets slightly reddened.
His voice choked, he said: "Big Brother, after all, your status is different now; there's really no need to make the trip personally."
"If you could come drink a cup of plain wine at my wedding, I'd feel honored."
Li Xin laughed: "Huobao, what status do I have?"
"My status is just being your Big Brother; everything else is false—those titles are for show to outsiders, not for talking among ourselves."
"You who first followed me, these few dozen people—no matter when, to you my status is simple: I am your initiation Big Brother."
Huobao's reddened eye sockets could no longer hold back, and two clear tears streamed down.
He wiped his face, dried his tears, and nodded firmly: "Big Brother, I've remembered this; I'll never forget it in this lifetime."
Jianguo handed Huobao a tissue: "Wipe it well; you'll still need to see people later, otherwise they'll think the boss beat you up!"
Huobao took the tissue to the washroom, washed his face clean, dried it, and then looked at himself in the mirror.
He chuckled and asked: "You, you, how is your fate so good?"
In Gangdao's martial world, Big Brothers number in the tens of thousands; anyone with a solid background can be called a Big Brother.
But a Big Brother like ours is absolutely one-of-a-kind, not comparable to those nobodies—the difference is heaven and earth!
……
Copper Gong Bay Li's Tea Restaurant
Li Xin's car stopped at the entrance; he got out, tidied his clothes, and strode into the tea restaurant.
Few people came to eat today, after all the situation is bad, and not many have the mood to idle-chat at the tea restaurant.
The few tables of customers are basically martial world people; only they have leisure time, and whether the stock market is good or bad has nothing to do with them.
These people don't have spare money to play the stock market!
"Brother Xin, you're so idle?"
Number Gang's A Qiang, seeing Li Xin enter, hurriedly rose to greet him.
Li Xin laughed and joked: "A Qiang, although this is your turf, can't I come eat a meal?"
"Don't mess around, Brother Xin, you really must not mess around; if the Big Brother hears this, he'll skin me alive."
A Qiang quickly said, he really dares not take this joke; before he didn't dare, because of Li Xin's strength.
Now he dares even less, because of Li Xin's reputation; who in the martial world doesn't know what Xi Gong stands for?
This is the martial world's last refuge, a safe zone!
Since Hatchet Jun sent his wife and children to Xi Gong, the reputation of this safe zone in Xi Gong has thoroughly echoed throughout Gangdao's martial world.
Brother Xin can joke, but he cannot take it as a joke.
Who knows what rumors will be spread about him? If someone uses him as a scapegoat, what then? Nowhere to reason!
Li Xin raised his hand, put his arm around A Qiang's shoulders, and laughed: "Why are you so nervous? Am I going to eat you?"
A Qiang accompanied with a smile: "Brother Xin, if you want to eat any part, just tell me; I'll cut it myself for your drink, as long as you don't joke with me—this is a matter of life and death!"
Li Xin released A Qiang, pointed at the tea restaurant, and said: "This is Huobao's father-in-law's business; I came here specially to visit, so no more idle chatter."
"Brother Xin, you're busy; I'll take some people out for a stroll, enjoy some leisure tea."
Li Xin nodded: "A Qiang, take the brothers to Rainbow Capital to play; today's on me, everyone hasn't eaten well."
A Qiang also wasn't polite: "Fine, today I'll drink Brother Xin's fill of alcohol; I'll take the people over."
After A Qiang finished speaking, he led the people out of the tea restaurant, then turned back to glance at the sign.
He instructed his nearby lackeys: "Spread the word in the martial world; no matter which gang, whoever dares to cause trouble at Li's in the future will be thrown straight into the sea—don't say I didn't warn you."
The close-in lackey nodded and replied: "Okay, Big Brother, we'll keep watch from now on and won't let anyone cause trouble here."
He asked again curiously: "Big Brother, Mr. Li is quite amiable—how could those rumors have spread in the martial world before?"
"You idiot! You think Immortal Trust's reputation is fake!"
"That reputation is earned, not just spoken!"
Well, Chicken Shit Strong deeply feels this point—he's been beaten by Tianhong!!
