Chapter 711: Drunken Talk

Xu Damao's words are rough but reasonable.

He Yuzhu still feels a bit unwilling to accept it.

"I have three of the best main rooms, and I'm still the head chef."

"I don't believe it; someone like me can't find a wife."

Xu Damao chuckled.

"Then why couldn't you find one before?"

"Have you been on fewer blind dates? Or just seen fewer prospects?"

"Could there really be no suitable match?"

"How did it not work out?"

"Think about how old you were when you got married."

"Drag it out a few more years, and you won't have a snowball's chance."

"Every move you make is being manipulated by others."

"A buddy brought you a wife, yet you won't take the advantage and still act coy."

"Although Liu Shumin really isn't any fun these days."

"But she used to be a blossoming maiden who followed you."

"Otherwise you wouldn't even get to drink a hot pot broth."

The more truthful the words, the more uncomfortable He Yuzhu felt inside.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Damn, it's annoying."

"Today we're gathered because we let out a breath of anger."

"Let's drink a cup to this anger."

Yan Jiecheng was listening with interest when He Yuzhu interrupted him, leaving him a bit unwilling to accept it.

"Speaking of those who went south, I heard that Bang Geng, just like Liu Shumin, is also in the Special District."

"Hey Damao, do you know about this?"

"This matter involves Yang Qing, so Xu Damao doesn't want to say more."

"I see Yu Li more often in the Special District and Gangdao."

"The atmosphere instantly turned a bit cold."

"Xu Damao, however, continued."

"Yu Li has a child; I don't know who the father is."

"Her life is actually pretty good."

"Xu Huizhen is now stationed in Jingcheng, and I heard they're preparing to have Yu Li stay long-term in Gangdao."

"It's likely that Yu Li will become a resident of Gangdao."

Yan Jiecheng's face darkened.

"His ex-wife is doing well, making him feel a burning heat on his face."

"He even suspected the child was Yang Qing's."

"That cheap woman, she got off easy."

Xu Damao gave him a disdainful glance.

"Jiecheng, the matter is long past."

"Come, let's raise a cup for karmic retribution."

Yan Jiecheng felt a surge of stifled anger.

"Let's talk about Bang Geng instead."

"I heard that back then he was taken to Gangdao by someone……"

Yan Jiecheng threw caution to the wind and began recounting the storm Bang Geng stirred up.

"That incident certainly had plenty to talk about, and the rumors in the jianghu are all kinds of varied."

"That was the first clash between the Yang Family and Yingjiang, a battle many have called legendary."

Xu Damao saw him refusing to let go, not wanting him to spout nonsense, so he explained what he knew.

"That's not how things happened."

"Back then, Bang Geng fled to Gangdao because he and his wife killed Jia Zhangshi."

"What?"

Both Yan Jiecheng and He Yuzhu were shocked.

They never expected Bang Geng to be so ruthless.

But now there's no one left to contradict it, and Bang Geng is still living quite well.

Xu Damao laughed sarcastically.

"Jia Zhangshi constantly bragged about her precious grandson."

"When leaving the siheyuan, she practically wanted to beat drums and gongs."

"She never imagined that after Bang Geng consumed her to the last drop, he wouldn't treat her as a person and would abuse her daily."

"Finally, he even staged an accident."

"Jia Zhangshi spent her life scheming, yet she was utterly defeated by her own grandson."

Yan Jiecheng snorted contemptuously.

"It's not because she's spoiled."

Since she was a child, she never took Bang Geng along to do good deeds; with this outcome, it's also normal.

He Yuzhu sighed.

"I was mistaken back then; I still thought Bang Geng was a good kid."

"Now then, what's the situation now?"

Xu Damao exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Screwing things together in Te Qu."

"That couple also has no children, no descendants; I heard it's because they were into drugs."

Jiecheng said softly.

"Qin Huairu just watches and does nothing?"

Xu Damao's face was cold.

"He often asks Jia Ling for money."

"Jia Xiao Fei—no, now she's called Yang Xiao Fei; after that incident, Jia Xiao Fei changed her surname."

"The Jia Family gave Yang Xiao Fei only pain."

"Before there was no reason; after that incident, she took the chance to change it."

"Yang Xiao Fei has always treated Bang Geng as a stranger; I heard Bang Geng went looking for her and was beaten out."

"Jia Ling's side…"

Xu Damao sighed; he could probably guess it was Qin Huairu's credit.

Jiecheng and He Yuzhu could also think of it.

Because Qin Huairu and Jia Ling have a good relationship.

Realizing he still hasn't had a "good" that even a beast could have, Jiecheng felt even more unsettled.

His son is indeed an official, but the overt income is only that little.

Adding the dislike toward Jiecheng, you can imagine how much they could give him.

It's only a bit stronger than an ordinary person.

He Yuzhu poured himself a drink and smiled bitterly.

"Our whole lives are really fucking funny."

Saying that, he drank.

Xu Damao sneered.

"You really are quite funny; given a chance, you're still useless."

"Look at Nan Yi, look at you?"

"That's what having no conscience is like."

"You deserve it."

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Right, I deserve it."

He felt even more bitter inside.

Jiecheng watched the two trade barbs and said uncomfortably.

"Xu Damao, you say, since our family and Qing Ge Er's family have a good relationship, why does He Yuzhu get his help while he doesn't help our family?"

Xu Damao thought for a moment.

"It must be other people; they have no talent, and your family is too scheming to hold a stage."

"Actually saying they didn't help is unfair to their conscience."

"Back then they opened a restaurant and ran a construction company."

"If you ever needed anything, they could arrange it for you."

"It's that you are reluctant to give up your own work."

"Otherwise, whether you go to the restaurant or the real‑estate company, who now would be doing poorly?"

"Back then, those who followed Li Da Xiong, didn't they get rich?"

"Those who went to the restaurant back then, weren't they millionaires?"

"Opportunities were given to you, but you didn't cherish them."

"Do you expect Qing Ge Er to feed the rice into your mouth?"

"Our big courtyard suddenly launched three major companies."

"Have you heard a saying?"

"When one person attains the Dao, even chickens and dogs ascend to heaven."

"Our courtyard has three people attaining the Dao, yet we still can't move this crowd of you."

"If you insist on being chickens and dogs, what can others do?"

"On this matter, He Yuzhu has the most say."

Saying that, he looked at He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu's face turned black.

"Enough, Xu Damao, stop stabbing me with words."

"At that time, Liu Shumin insisted on withdrawing her shares."

"In the end, it was because of you; if you hadn't schemed Liu Shumin against me, it wouldn't have…"

Xu Damao almost laughed out of anger.

"Damn it, you act like a whore and still want to build a memorial arch."

He Yuzhu, I look down on you.

Yan Jiecheng heard those words and was left with a sour heart.

It feels as if fate played a big joke on him.

Why can't Yang Qing explain that to them? If you explain it to us, we would know.

Then wouldn't our fate change?

Afterwards he, in a despondent mood, drank another cup of wine.

It's too late to say anything; his life has no brilliance, so in this life he'll just drift aimlessly.

A deadbeat, what joy is there in life?

What does having money matter?

Could one still stand up?

All of this is Yi Zhonghai's doing.

You dog, you finally got your retribution.
