Chapter 35
C35 – I Won’t Bother with You This Time
A strange smile appeared on the corner of Xun Pengyu’s mouth. “This is my house. Why can’t I be here?”
“What?”
Lan Hongye was stunned for a moment and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, Mr. Xun. I didn’t know this was your house.”
Hearing this, Ling Lili and Wan Guangji were both stunned.
When did Xun Zhonghou become Mr. Xun?
Why did Lan Hongye respect Xun Zhonghou so much? Moreover, he seemed to be very afraid of Xun Zhonghou.
“Lan, why are you afraid of him?” Wan Guangji couldn’t help but ask.
Lan Hongye gave Wan Guangji a meaningful look, then turned to Xun Zhonghou and said with a smile, “Mr. Xun, my aunt doesn’t know about your situation. Those who don’t know are innocent. Please forgive her!”
He was just a shop assistant. If Wan Guangji angered Xun Zhonghou, Xun Zhonghou would be fired as soon as he called.
To find a good job in Pinewatch was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
He did not want to lose his job because of this.
Xun Zhonghou narrowed his eyes and sized up Lan Hongye. He said meaningfully, “I heard it clearly just now. It seems like someone said that our family doesn’t want to live anymore, right?”
Lan Hongye swallowed his saliva with difficulty, his expression turning gloomy.
He knew that Xun Zhonghou would not let this matter rest.
In order to get Xun Zhonghou’s forgiveness, he had to pay a price.
Suddenly, a clear slap sounded from the corridor.
Lan Hongye slapped himself hard on the face.
“Mr. Xun, I was wrong. Please forgive me!”
Lan Hongye endured the pain and begged Xun Zhonghou again.
Although slapping oneself was extremely embarrassing, as long as Xun Zhonghou did not make a fuss about it, it would be fine as long as he could keep his job.
“What exactly happened?”
Wan Guangji was completely dumbfounded.
At first, she thought that Lan Hongye could help her and teach Xun Zhonghou a lesson.
Who would have thought that Lan Hongye was like a pug in front of Xun Zhonghou? Not only did he not stop trying to please him, he even slapped himself.
Even a fool could tell that Xun Zhonghou’s current status was definitely not ordinary.
However, she had known Xun Zhonghou’s family for many years, so she knew everything about them.
Why did Xun Zhonghou suddenly become so powerful?
“Seeing that you can see the situation clearly, I won’t make a fuss about it this time. But don’t do this again in the future!” Xun Zhonghou snorted.
“Thank you, Mr. Xun!”
Lan Hongye felt as if he had been granted amnesty.
As soon as he finished speaking, he wanted to pull Wan Guangji away from here.
“Wait a minute!”
Xun Zhonghou shouted.
Lan Hongye’s heart tightened. “Mr. Xun, is there anything else?”
Xun Zhonghou ignored Lan Hongye and turned to look at Wan Guangji. He then took out a stack of Cassiopeia coins from his pocket and took out ten of them. He threw them at Wan Guangji’s face and said, “Wan Guangji, this is the rent for this year. Take it. Don’t bother my mother in the future!”
He had lived in this place for quite some time and was used to it. He did not plan to change his place for the time being.
“Zhonghou, where did you get so many Cassiopeia coins?” Ling Lili was stunned.
She could clearly see that each of the Cassiopeia coins in Xun Zhonghou’s hand was worth a thousand. In total, there were probably a hundred thousand.
However, Xun Zhonghou was just a student. Where did he get so many Cassiopeia coins from?
Wan Guangji recovered from her shock and quickly picked up the Cassiopeia coins. She guaranteed, “Don’t worry, I won’t dare to bother your mother even if I had ten guts!”
“Mom, let’s go in.”
Xun Zhonghou called out and pushed Ling Lili and Xun Qinyou into the room.
Just as the door closed, Ling Lili asked with a face full of shock, “Zhonghou, what exactly happened?”
