Chapter 37: Enjoying the Fragrant Meat
Chapter 37: Enjoying the Fragrant Meat
The woman was obviously intimidated by the fat man’s momentum and the leverage he mentioned, so she didn’t dare to make more trouble. She covered her face and took the Pretty Boy away.
After they left, the fat man suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed. He laughed for a while before stopping. Then he walked to Old Xie’s side and said with a smile, “Satisfying. So many years, today is the most satisfying!”
Old Xie could understand his feelings very well. After all, the fact that he was cuckolded couldn’t be hidden from people. The difference in appearance between the two was too big. But that woman was the Emperor’s younger sister after all. No matter how dissatisfied the fat man was, he couldn’t do anything to her. He could only silently endure the private ridicule from the Noble circle. For a man, this was simply a huge shame. And today, under the instruction of the Old Mage, he was finally able to vent this anger. Of course, he felt satisfied.
After laughing, the fat man suddenly asked with interest, “By the way, why did you beat that bastard?”
“Do I need a reason to hit someone?” Old Xie rolled his eyes at him and said directly, “I beat him just because I didn’t like him!”
Hearing this, everyone around couldn’t help but have a circle of black lines on their foreheads. They thought, this Young Master is really awesome. Just because he didn’t like someone, he beat up the Emperor’s nephew and the Duke’s eldest son. This is too incredible! You know, although the Pretty Boy was not liked by the fat man and the Old Mage, he was good-looking and had a sweet mouth. So he was even valued by the Emperor. Even if he couldn’t inherit the Steven Family in the future, he would definitely be granted a title and have no worries about food and clothing for life.
But such a high status was nothing in front of Old Xie. He beat him as he pleased, and the Duke seemed to support it very much. Seeing this, others began to value Old Xie more in their hearts.
“Haha!” The fat man laughed after hearing this, “Well said, well beaten. This is the style of the Steven Family. If that brat dares to wander in front of you again, just beat him. Best beat him into a pig head!” The fat man said through gritted teeth. Obviously, he hated the culprit who made him a laughingstock extremely.
“Hehe, don’t worry, I will!” Old Xie readily agreed to him, then smiled, “Alright, come in. I just made something delicious! Let’s taste it together.”
“Okay!” The fat man immediately laughed, “I smelled the fragrance a long time ago. What good thing is this?” The two talked and walked into the courtyard.
“Fragrant meat!” Old Xie said without blushing or panting. He was afraid that the fat man wouldn’t eat it if he said it was dog meat, so he planned to tell him the truth after he ate it.
However, Old Xie’s trick was quickly exposed. An elderly man who looked like a steward beside the fat man stepped forward and whispered a few words in the fat man’s ear.
The fat man’s eyes lit up, and he immediately said excitedly, “So it’s the meat of that damn beast. Great! I must eat back the bite it gave me last time!”
Saying that, he walked into the dining room impatiently and sat down at the table. The man who looked like a steward beside him dutifully helped him set the tableware and spread the napkin, serving him very thoughtfully. Old Xie also sat on the side, served by the old steward Chris Chen.
Then the fat man suddenly said to Old Xie, “The one beside me is Singchi Timus, my steward. Besides being responsible for the affairs of the mansion, he also helps me take care of the family business. He is the most important person in our Steven Family!”
“You flatter me, My Lord!” Timus hurriedly said modestly, then saluted Old Xie, “Greetings, Young Master! If you have any instructions in the future, just come to me!”
“En!” Old Xie nodded to him kindly, then smiled and said, “Alright, Chris Chen, serve the food.”
“Yes!” Chris Chen agreed and hurriedly brought the pot up. Then he served a bowl each for the fat man and Old Xie. Old Xie then smiled and said, “You and Timus have a bowl too. There’s so much anyway. Don’t be polite!”
“We dare not! There is a difference between master and servant!” Chris Chen and Timus both changed color and said.
Instead, the fat man was a good person and directly ordered, “Alright, since the Young Master spoke, let’s make an exception today. Go serve yourselves.”
Saying that, he himself took an impatient sip of the soup, and then immediately laughed excitedly, “Not bad, not bad, delicious!” Then he started eating without raising his head.
Seeing this, Chris Chen and Timus had no choice but to serve themselves a bowl. Then they sat aside and ate carefully. However, from their looks, they were obviously very grateful to Old Xie.
Naturally, Old Xie was not polite and immediately began to eat. This meal of dog meat was extremely satisfying. The four of them ate dozens of pounds of meat and drank two bottles of good wine. After eating, everyone felt a sense of relief. The fat man wiped his mouth with unsatisfaction and said, “I didn’t expect this beast to be so delicious. I don’t know when I can eat it next time!”
“Hehe, simple!” Old Xie suddenly gave a wicked smile, “Whenever that bitch raises a dog, we can satisfy our craving!”
“Haha! That’s really a genius idea!” The fat man laughed so hard that he leaned back and forth. He immediately said to the steward, “Timus, remember, after Madam has a fat dog, be sure to notify the Young Master first!”
“Yes, My Lord!” Timus agreed with a wry smile.
“Since this bitch killed my son’s study companion, I will eat all her beloved dogs!” The fat man suddenly said viciously, “I want to drive her crazy!”
When others heard this sentence, they all felt a chill. Only Old Xie said nonchalantly, “Since you hate her so much, why don’t you just kill her?”
“Sigh!” Fatty then looked like a deflated ball and said listlessly, “Her older brother by the same father and mother is the Emperor! Although the Steven Family is powerful, they don’t have the ability to oppose the Royal Family, so no matter how aggrieved they are, they can only endure it!”
Old Xie curled his lips, his face full of disapproval. He never quite understood the worries of these big families. What was there to worry about? If it came to the worst, they could just start a Rebellion? Oh, perhaps they didn’t have the strength to rebel, so that’s why they had worries. But even if they couldn’t rebel, they could escape, right? Could it be that just for this family business, they had to endure so much insult? Old Xie was extremely disdainful of this.
“Alright, let’s stop here for today!” Fatty stood up slowly, then gestured to Timus behind him and said, “Here are 10,000 Gold Coins. You take this for pocket money first. If it’s not enough, ask me for more!”
Timus immediately took out an exquisite bill, which carried a faint magical aura, and the number 10,000 Gold Coins shone brightly, looking very beautiful.
“This is a check from the Kingdom’s Magic Bank. You can exchange it for change at any time!” Timus said respectfully as he handed over the check.
“No!” Old Xie shook his head.
“Ah?” This depressed Fatty badly, and he hurriedly asked, “You think it’s too little?”
“Young Master, this is a huge sum of money, definitely not a little!” Chris Chen hurriedly reminded him in a low voice from the side.
“I know the money is a lot, but I don’t have the habit of spending other people’s money! A man should earn the money he spends himself!” Old Xie then waved his hand resolutely and said, “You take it back. If I want to spend money, I will have a way myself!”
Fatty looked at Old Xie in surprise, and then said solemnly, “You have backbone. However, if you change your mind, you can find me anytime, okay?”
“Okay!” Old Xie said perfunctorily.
“Alright then, since that’s the case, I’ll be leaving now!” Fatty then took his leave.
