"Fourth Sister, look at our little sister, what a mess she is, delivering takeout every day, so happy? When will the task you assigned be completed? If you ask me, it's better to go and tie the person up."
Hu Yulin sat in front of Hu Siniang, with his legs crossed and a rogue look on his face.
Hu Siniang particularly disliked his demeanor. She preferred men who were refined, eloquent, and exuded confidence, not someone who looked like a petty hoodlum.
But there was nothing she could do. Although the fox clan had many brothers and sisters, most of them were accomplished and didn't want to beg for food under her. Only Hu Yulin was neither here nor there, and with the elders' demands, she had brought him along.
"Then you'll have to be prepared to bear the wrath of the Su sisters," said Hu Siniang, who was looking at the ledger.
Upon hearing this, Hu Yulin immediately shut his mouth. Setting aside the formidable reputation of the Su sisters in the past, and the earth-shattering power they displayed in the Yangtze River that day, if they were truly angered, the fox clan would likely be wiped out.
After a while, Hu Yulin spoke again, "Their cultivation is not deep, why are they so strong? It's really unfair."
"Fair? Are you a monster for the first time? If it were fair, why would weak humans dominate this world, and we demons live in fear, under their rules?" Hu Siniang said, putting down the ledger.
"Yes, yes, why?"
Hu Yulin had always been confused by this question. Their demon race had countless powerful beings, so why should they obey weak humans and be bound by their laws?
Hearing Hu Yulin's question, Hu Siniang didn't know what to say, but after all, he was her brother, so she said helplessly, "It's said that this world relies on brains, not strength. The Su sisters' cultivation is not deep, but their strength is formidable, because they have brains. Is cultivation just about taking pills and meditating? If so, wouldn't the East Sea Turtle Prime be invincible? Cultivation also requires brains, you..."
"Our fox clan is also very smart. This is a common understanding among all demons," Hu Yulin said somewhat unconvincingly.
"Only petty cleverness, but rarely great wisdom. Knowing human nature, understanding human hearts, and knowing human feelings are only petty cleverness. True great wisdom is knowing your own heart, understanding the heart of heaven, and knowing the future."
"Uh..."
It was obvious that Hu Yulin didn't understand.
Seeing Hu Siniang's idiotic gaze, Hu Yulin quickly said, "I know what the first one means, knowing my own heart. Who wouldn't know that? I know my own heart, and I want to make money right now. It seems I still have great wisdom."
Hu Siniang didn't know what to say. At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.
"Come in."
As she spoke, a woman wearing black-rimmed glasses walked in. She wore a hip-hugging skirt, revealing a pair of silk-clad legs, and high heels. She was voluptuous and exuded a reserved charm.
Hu Yulin quietly put down his feet on the coffee table and sat up straight.
Hu Siniang glanced at her, feeling a bit surprised, but she didn't show it on her face.
She picked up the ledger on the table and handed it over, saying, "The performance last month has declined again."
The woman took the ledger and said, "Jiangcheng is a small place after all, and we only have one store. We've reached a bottleneck. To break through, we can only open branches in big cities, but we need to supply goods..."
"I know, you can go about your business now," Hu Siniang waved her hand.
The woman bowed and left, her hips swaying.
Throughout the entire process, she didn't even glance at Hu Yulin.
But Hu Yulin stared intently at her swaying hips.
Hu Siniang tapped the table in dissatisfaction.
"She's mine, don't you dare mess with her."
"She's seducing me," Hu Yulin said.
Hu Siniang was speechless, "When did she seduce you?"
"Just now, look at how she swayed her hips," Hu Yulin said confidently.
Hu Yulin, enraged, slapped the table, "Damn it, she's human, do you think she's a fox like you? Does swaying her hips a couple of times mean she's seducing you?"
Hu Yulin was startled. Seeing that Hu Siniang was really angry, he quickly put on a fawning smile, "Fourth Sister, don't be angry. I know she's your person. Even if she seduces me, I won't agree."
"Get lost! Wipe your drool before you say that," Hu Siniang grabbed a pen from the table and threw it. It whistled through the air like a bullet.
However, it didn't hit Hu Yulin. He easily caught it in mid-air with his hand and placed it on the table.
"Fourth Sister, let's get back to business. What are you going to do?"
"Let's give Nineteenth Sister a little more time. That girl looks silly, but she's actually very smart," Hu Siniang said after thinking.
She wanted to expand her business, which would require the help of Han Xiangning's influence. And to gain Han Xiangning's influence, she had to complete the task assigned by her.
Hu Yulin pouted at this. He didn't quite agree with Hu Siniang's words. Everyone in the fox clan knew that Nineteenth Sister was silly and only knew how to eat all day.
At this moment, Liu Nanfeng was preparing to ride his bike home when he saw Hu Mengyao on her bike rush over like a gust of wind and stop beside him.
Then she took a bottle of cold cola from her bike basket and drank it down in big gulps. She then squinted her eyes, exhaled, and wore a look of pure bliss.
"Mengyao, aren't you afraid of getting fat drinking cola, you're a girl?" Wu Shilong next to him laughed.
Hu Mengyao nodded, then thought, "But it really tastes good."
After speaking, she hugged the bottle tightly, looking reluctant to part with it.
Then, as if remembering something, she turned to Liu Nanfeng beside her and asked foolishly, "Do you want to drink it? I can let you have a sip, it's very sweet."
Liu Nanfeng: ...
Is this girl really silly? Is she trying to coax him like a child?
However, at least he was sure that she wasn't just trying to entice him with chicken buns, but also with cola.
"No thanks," Liu Nanfeng said speechlessly, turning his handlebars, preparing to leave.
"Where are you going?" Hu Mengyao asked blankly.
"You always leave so early."
"Of course, I'm going home. What else would I do?"
"Aren't you delivering takeout anymore? I'm telling you, there will be many orders when dinner time comes, and you can earn a lot of money," Hu Mengyao squinted her eyes, looking like a money-grubber.
Liu Nanfeng didn't want to deal with her at all and directly turned his handlebars away.
Hu Mengyao turned her head to look at the person beside her, looking a little confused.
"Did I say something wrong?" she asked with a bewildered expression.
"You're the one who's wrong, it's this guy Xiaoliu who's not a man."
"Don't mind him, he's here to experience life, delivering takeout like a couch potato every day."
"Experience life?"
"Yeah, looking at his clothes, you can tell he's well-off and probably not lacking money."
"Not lacking money? Slurp~"
It was only around 4:30 in the afternoon, and the summer sun was still high in the sky, radiating a scorching light. Liu Nanfeng did not go home directly but went straight to the coffee shop.
"You're back."
Seeing Liu Nanfeng return, Su Huamei greeted him with a smile, but why did her smile seem a little schadenfreude?
Before he could think much about it, he saw a man standing on the other side of the counter holding a bouquet of flowers and saying something to Su Jinxiu.
Holy crap, how dare he poach his girl? If I don't kill him, Liu Nanfeng rolled up his sleeves and strode over angrily.
