Chapter 439 Why am I Called Ghost Beast?
Xiao Bing said with a smile, “You’ve come to support us again?”
“Yes.” Chen Yuanyuan sighed. “You and Xiaoxi are bosses now. Xiaoxi has not come back to see us. She has forgotten all her friends since she started staying with you, but we are all serious about our friendship, so we continue to come here.”
Xiao Bing said with a smile, “Yuanyuan, you are always finding fault with us.”
Xu Wenting also smiled, “Yuanyuan is joking, but we have not seen Xiaoxi for so many days. How is she now?”
Xiao Bing said, “She’s fine, but she’s very busy with her work. Actually, she also misses you.”
“Well, we know,” Xu Wenting sighed and said, “There are so many things happening in her family. She lost all her family overnight. We understand her very well and often call her to comfort her. Now, we feel that she is slowly recovering from the pain, and we are very happy.”
Xiao Bing said earnestly, “Thank you for your concern for her.”
Xu Wenting said, “We are all her good friends. Before she knew you, we were already friends. Although Xiaoxi values you over friends… we still care a lot for her.”
Xiao Bing said with a smile, “Well, don’t say that Yezi values me over you. I’ll treat you to Western food this weekend. How about the four of us?”
“Good,” Chen Yuanyuan said happily, “we’ll take you up on your offer.”
“Well, I promise.”
Xiao Bing said with a smile, “Now, I think the noodle house is full. Would you like to wait for a moment, or go to another place to have some food with me?”
Chen Yuanyuan said with a smile, “Let’s take advantage of the rich man.”
Xiao Bing took them to a nearby restaurant that served fried dishes. The owner of the restaurant knew Xiao Bing. It turned out that the owner used to go to The Xiaoxiao Noodle House occasionally, to eat noodles. He admired Xiao Bing’s craftsmanship very much. When he saw Xiao Bing bringing his friends, he served them two bottles of drinks, free of charge.
After all the food was served, the three of them closed the door of the compartment and began to eat.
Xiao Bing found that Chen Yuanyuan was the one chattering all the time. Xu Wenting only spoke occasionally, which seemed to be no different from the past, but Xiao Bing always felt that she had some worries, in her eyes.
Xiao Bing really liked these two girls. On the one hand, they were Yezi’s good friends. On the other hand, Yezi could get over the pain of her family’s death because of his concern. In addition, the two girls also contributed a lot. After all, the role played by female friends sometimes could not be replaced by boyfriends.
Xiao Bing looked at Xu Wenting and asked, “Wenting, do you have any problems?”
Xu Wenting shook her head and said with a forced smile, “Not too many.”
“It means yes.” Xiao Bing said with a smile, “Come on. Tell me what’s wrong with you. Maybe I can help you. Even if I can’t help you, Yezi is the chairman of a large group now. She can help you.”
The two girls only knew that Xiao Bing was the owner of a noodle house, but they did not know about Xiao Bing’s actual power. When she heard Xiao Bing mentioning about Yezi, Chen Yuanyuan said, “Yes, Wenting, I also noticed that you have not been your usual self recently. Tell me quickly. Xiaoxi is our good friend anyway. She is powerful now. If there is any problem, maybe she can help you.”
Xu Wenting hesitated for a while. Seeing how persistent Xiao Bing and Chen Yuanyuan were, she had to say in a low voice, “My father has a mistress.”
“Oh.” Xiao Bing and Chen Yuanyuan looked at each other. It was her household problem. They really could not help much.
If there was something in the world that could not be solved by money and power, then it had to be a household problem. After all, there was a saying that it was hard for an honest official to handle his own household problems.
Xiao Bing sighed and said, “I think your mother and father should be able to handle your family affairs well.”
Chen Yuanyuan hesitated for a moment and did not know what to say.
Xu Wenting smiled reluctantly and said, “It doesn’t matter. You don’t need to comfort me. I can bear it. I don’t want to drink. I want to drink beer. Can you accompany me?”
Xiao Bing and Chen Yuanyuan looked at each other, and Chen Yuanyuan said, “I’m on holiday now and have no class…”
Xiao Bing immediately shouted to the outside, “Boss, some beer!”
The middle-aged boss asked two waiters to carry a box of beer in. The boss followed behind and said with a smile, “Boss Xiao, you can drink slowly from this box of beer first. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to bring in one bottle at a time. If you can’t finish, just leave them. Please enjoy the beers. We will not disturb you!”
Xiao Bing waved with a smile, and the boss and two waiters left.
Xiao Bing opened a few bottles of beer and put them on the table. He knew that Xu Wenting did not need any comforting at this time. She just needed to vent her sadness. After all, things had happened. Xu Wenting would know what she wanted to say. She must have already thought about these words.
Nowadays, both male and female youths could drink, more or less. Xu Wenting seemed to be able to drink a little, but she was obviously in a bad mood today. It was easier for her to get drunk. After downing two bottles of beer, her face was flushed and she did not speak as calmly as usual.
She raised her glass and said in a higher pitched voice, “Brother Bing, thank you… Thank you for inviting me to drink.”
Xiao Bing had accompanied her to drink two bottles of beer, which was just a piece of cake for Xiao Bing. When he saw Xu Wenting proposing a toast, Xiao Bing wanted to dissuade her. Later, he thought that it was better for her to have a good vent, so he raised his glass and accepted it.
After Xu Wenting finished her drink, she proposed another toast to Chen Yuanyuan. Xu Wenting said, “Yuanyuan, Xiaoxi is busy working every day. I don’t want to be at home every day. As long as I want to go out, you will go out for a walk with me. Now, when I go back home every day and look at my mother’s face, I even want to die. I hate that woman so much. Why did she seduce my father? I hate my father’s weakness. He was so easily swayed by that woman’s blandishments. Fortunately, you are still here… You’re with me…”
Chen Yuanyuan was at a loss for words and said, “This is what I should do… because we are good friends.”
“Drink this glass of beer.”
“OK… I will drink it.”
Chen Yuanyuan had no choice, but to drink with her.
Xu Wenting said with a smile, “You are my good friend.”
Although she was laughing, it was better than seeing her cry.
Xiao Bing sighed in his heart. This was a problem between the husband and wife. The child was the one who would hurt most.
Xu Wenting continued saying, “That woman is a bitch… She used to work in real estate. Later, I secretly had her checked out, and found that she was also flirting with men who bought houses from her… My father wanted to buy a big house for my grandma, because my grandma was the one who matchmade my mother to my father, and supported him with all her savings when he was very poor. Finally, through his own efforts, he became a powerful boss now… Later, he wanted to repay my grandma. My grandma always preferred to live in the countryside. She is old now and wants to come back to the city. The medical facilities are better here. So he wanted to buy a house for my grandma. Unexpectedly, it should be a good thing, but instead he was seduced by the woman who sells houses…”
After listening to this, Xiao Bing also felt that Xu Wenting’s father was not a man without conscience. He always wanted to repay Xu Wenting’s grandma, but it was unfortunate that he lost his moral integrity, when confronted with a beauty.
“That woman is dissolute… I went to see her before I quit my job. I saw her flirting with men who bought houses… Now, she quit her job and is supported by my father solely. My father also wants to divorce my mother… Men are all bad, and that woman isn’t good either.”
Chen Yuanyuan took a look at Xiao Bing and said with some embarrassment, “In fact, some men are good. For example, Brother Bing is very good.”
Xiao Bing said with a wry smile, “That’s all right. I know Wenting’s mood very well.”
As Xu Wenting was speaking, she suddenly put her head on the table and cried. Chen Yuanyuan was about to soothe her, when Xiao Bing stopped her. Xiao Bing lowered his voice and said, “Don’t disturb her. Actually, crying is good for her…”
At the same time, Ghost Beast had left the country and was walking on a remote path in Europe. He was followed by a man who had many bruises on his body and had a miserable look. He was one of the four people who were assigned by Ghost Beast to distract Xiao Bing’s attention.
As the man walked, he said angrily, “I, Zhang Jiu, will seek revenge. I was almost killed by them.”
In fact, Zhang Jiu also complained about Ghost Beast. At that time, it was not necessary to let the four people take risks. Ghost Beast clearly did not take their lives seriously. However, Ghost Beast was one of the eight Buddhist generals. He could only hide his complaints in his heart. He could not speak it out and show it.
Ghost Beast suddenly stopped and turned to face the man. His scarlet tongue licked his lips, revealing big, yellow teeth. He said with a strange smile, “Do you hate me now?”
“No… no.” Zhang Jiu took a step back.
Ghost Beast grinned hideously. “In fact, it doesn’t matter if you hate me. I really regard you as trash…”
Zhang Jiu said with a smile, “Well… It’s our duty to follow your order.”
Ghost Beast nodded. His ghastly voice gave people the creeps. He suddenly raised his head. His wrinkled face made him look like an old wizard in a fairy tale. His eyes even sparkled with a terrifying light. His tone was weird, evil and cold, like a voice from hell. “No matter whether you blame me or not, you don’t need to live in the world, even if there is a little chance that you resent me…”
With a sound, his crutch stabbed into Zhang Jiu’s heart with lightning speed. Zhang Jiu had no chance to dodge. The crutch penetrated his body directly.
“You did not expect me to kill you. It’s only because you don’t know me.” The voice of Ghost Beast sounded ghastly, as if it came from the netherworld. “My name is Ghost Beast. Why am I called Ghost Beast? It is because I am like a fierce ghost and cruel like a beast.”
