Chapter 134 Deliberately Seeking Unhappiness
The horse neighed, and Xiao Ran's carriage stopped in front of the Xie family's door.
When the Wu mother and son in the house heard the sound of a carriage outside, they immediately became tense.
After what happened three days ago, they were completely traumatized by Xiao Ran.
Xie Ru said fearfully, "Mom, are they coming?"
Mrs. Wu looked out the window and saw two familiar carriages, and her body shook involuntarily.
"Yes...yes! They're coming!"
"Go give them the money quickly. I don't want to be beaten again! Otherwise, I'll be dead!"
Mrs. Wu also knew the seriousness of the situation, so she hurriedly took the purse and went out.
Seeing that Wu was quite sensible, Xiao Ran took the silver and did not bother her any more. He got into the car and left with the group.
The carriage went straight to the Su-style noodle restaurant in the county town.
Xiao Ran entered the shop with the help of Donglai.
There were not many people eating in the shop at this time, but Cui Boxian was eating there. Su Xiaoxiao was accompanying Cui Boxian. It was unknown what the two were talking about, but they looked very happy.
Xiao Ran's face suddenly darkened.
Why does Su Xiaoxiao have such a good relationship with Cui Boxian?
Is this the rhythm of climbing up the ladder?
Cui Boxian really accepts everyone and everything!
Somehow, he felt very unhappy.
He walked over and said unhappily, "Mr. Cui truly cares about the people and has the potential to become an official. He's so familiar with even a country girl who owns a shop, and even comes to take care of her business. It's rare! It's truly rare!"
Hearing the voice, Su Xiaoxiao and Cui Boxian looked at Xiao Ran in unison, only then did they realize that Xiao Ran had arrived.
But why did Xiao Ran say this so sourly?
Although Su Xiaoxiao didn't know why Xiao Ran said that, she couldn't do it.
"Did Master Xiao eat shit? His mouth stinks!"
Xiao Ran glared at Su Xiaoxiao, "How can you speak so vulgarly, woman?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't take it seriously. "I'm just a country girl. I'm not as polite and well-spoken as you noble sons and daughters from high-class families. Master Xiao, please be patient!"
"you……"
Xiao Ran's chest was heaving with anger, but he couldn't do anything to Su Xiaoxiao.
Donglai, who was standing by, was afraid that his young master would be too angry, so he hurried to comfort him.
"Master, we are men, we should be magnanimous and not argue with a little girl. Please don't be angry, it's not worth it to get yourself hurt!"
Xiao Ran glared at Dong Lai angrily.
Why did this sound so familiar to him?
Donglai met Xiao Ran's murderous gaze and subconsciously shrank his neck. He didn't know what he had done wrong to make his young master angry.
Cui Boxian knew Xiao Ran's bad temper. He didn't mind Xiao Ran's sarcasm and quickly stood up and spoke politely.
"Brother Xiao, has something unpleasant happened to you? You're so angry!"
Without waiting for Xiao Ran to answer, Su Xiaoxiao said angrily, "Who knows? I think he's here just to cause trouble!"
When Xiao Ran heard this, he also got angry and took out a purse from his pocket.
"What? You don't want Jiang Lanlan's betrothal money?"
Su Xiaoxiao then realized that it was the three-day appointment time, and Xiao Ran was going to the Xie family to get back the remaining betrothal gifts from Jiang Lanlan.
She didn't have time to think and snatched the purse from Xiao Ran's hand.
"I was so angry at you that I almost forgot what I was doing."
Xiao Ran snorted coldly.
"Hurry up and count them, or you'll end up suspecting me of stealing your money if there's any missing."
Cui Boxian didn't know what was going on, nor did he understand why Xiao Ran said that, but Su Xiaoxiao understood it completely.
Xiao Ran was reminding her that she had mistaken him for a thief before!
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly realized how petty Xiao Ran was! He was still pursuing her for one thing without a clear end.
But thinking about it, she did misunderstand Xiao Ran at the beginning. After all, she was the one who was wrong, and it would not be good to be too tough with Xiao Ran, but she was unwilling to admit her mistake.
She looked at Xiao Ran expressionlessly.
"Mr. Xiao is from a wealthy family, how could he possibly be interested in the small amount of money we ordinary people have? We trust Mr. Xiao's character, so he can rest assured now!"
Xiao Ran rolled his eyes at Su Xiaoxiao and snorted coldly.
That expression seemed to say "That's pretty good."
Just then, Jiang Lanlan and Jiang Xingjun came out of the kitchen.
Jiang Lanlan recognized Xiao Ran at a glance and hurriedly introduced him to Jiang Xingjun.
"Third brother, this is Mr. Xiao who helped me escape from the sea of suffering!"
Jiang Xingjun immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude.
"Thank you, Master Xiao, for helping me. If you need my help in the future, please let me know. I, Jiang Xingjun, will do my best to help you!"
Seeing this, Xiao Ran smiled.
"It's just a small favor. The money is here, so you better keep it safe!"
Jiang Lanlan and Jiang Xingjun expressed their gratitude in unison.
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome!"
Jiang Lanlan smiled and asked, "Mr. Xiao, you've worked hard all morning. I wonder if you've had your meals yet? The shop has some snacks. They're not fancy, but they taste pretty good. How about I make some for you to try?"
Jiang Xingjun realized it later and followed suit.
"Yes, yes, this meal is our treat for Master Xiao. As long as Master Xiao doesn't mind it, it's fine!"
Xiao Ran was in a hurry to go out in the morning and had not eaten breakfast. After hearing what the brother and sister said and smelling the aroma of food in the store, he really felt hungry.
"Okay, then I'm welcome!"
He said to Su Xiaoxiao with a smug look on his face, "The Jiang brothers and sisters still have a conscience. They are much better than some people!"
Su Xiaoxiao was so angry that her teeth were itching!
Is Xiao Ran calling her heartless?
Outrageous!
If Cui Boxian hadn't been there and there were a few other customers eating in the restaurant, she would have taught Xiao Ran a lesson no matter what.
Xiao Ran helped Jiang Lanlan teach Xie Zhi a lesson and divorced Xie Zhi. Doesn't that mean Xiao Ran still owes her a favor?
She has already expressed her gratitude verbally, what else can she ask for?
How did it suddenly become like she owed Xiao Ran a favor?
Reverse black and white!
How unreasonable!
She glared at Xiao Ran and said to Cui Baixian, "Master Cui, I'll be leaving for a while. Take your time eating!"
"Okay! Miss Su, go ahead and do whatever you want!"
Jiang Lanlan and Jiang Xingjun were not clear about the relationship between Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Ran, so they had to go back to the kitchen to cook.
Cui Boxian noticed that there was a conflict between Xiao Ran and Su Xiaoxiao, and smiled to ease the atmosphere.
"Brother Xiao, why don't you sit down and let's eat together?"
Xiao Ran finally withdrew his cynical look from the departing Su Xiaoxiao.
"Alright, I'll just have dinner with Master Cui!"
Donglai helped Xiao Ran sit down, and Cui Baixian asked, "Brother Xiao, what's wrong with your foot?"
Xiao Ran didn't want others to know that he fell into a trap, let alone Cui Boxian, whom he hated.
He said casually: "Nothing, just twisted it accidentally!"
He thought for a moment and spoke again, "I have something to remind Master Cui!"
Cui Boxian was very curious.
"Oh? Brother Xiao, if you have anything to say, just say it. I'm all ears!"
