If she really called him âUncle,â wouldnât he be messing up the seniority? Then Sir Xia would probably stop contacting him any more.
Ye Jian1 pocketed the name card with a smile and said politely: âBrother Zi, Iâm sorry for causing you trouble.â
âDonât worry about it, and this is only because our hotelâs services were lacking.â Hou Zi cocked his brows, eyeing the high-schooler whose eyebrows twitched ever so slightly at the sound of his name, the smile hanging on his lips became more prominent.
He bet the little lass mustâve known who he was already.
Hou Zi, a very infamous name on the streets, a person who was both good and evil, making gangsters feel helpless while also being untouchable to cops.
A man who was both good and evil like him, even if Xia Yiwei had something going on with him, she could only maintain her distance. At the very least, she must keep her distance in public.
Old Granny Ye only knew her heart had dropped like a heavy rock, Hou Zi! Never had she thought this man who was born prettier than a girl but lacking any ounce of gentleness, was the infamous Hou Zi!
Thereâs a saying on the streets: youâd instead get on the bad side of the cops then get on Hou Ziâs bad side!
âSo youâre Third Master Hou, my apologies, my apologies.â Old Granny Ye started laughing. Once a smile surfaced on her bold face, she immediately looked amiable, âIâm truly sorry, I hadnât known this was Third Master Houâs territory, this unfilial granddaughter of mineâ¦â
Hou Zi raised his hand and spoke with an unconvincing tone: âIâve quit being a master for so long, Iâve already stopped my evil ways and am being good since so long ago, why are there people who still donât know that? Youâre already old; if you lose your hearing or your vision, itâs better for you just to stay home and live off your pension. If you still come out to wreak havoc, then even this Hou Zi who doesnât like to meddle will have to step in.â
One word from him was enough to instantly make different emotions surface on Old Granny Yeâs well-maintained face, genuinely fascinating, and an apology floated out of her mouth, âSo thatâs how it is, no wonder I havenât heard much about Boss Hou during the past few years.â
âThis girl beside Boss Hou is my granddaughter, and she has some misunderstandings with this Old Granny, she doesnât want to go home, so sheâs throwing a tantrum. This is a familial matter, and I hope Boss Hou will be so kind as to forgive our rashness. And the issues here, we ourselves will solve it behind closed doors, and wouldnât disturb Boss Hou.
Her straightforward and smooth-flowing apology made it seem like she doesnât find it weird for someone of her age to apologize to this person who wasnât even over 40 yet.
The motto of the streets is âmight makes right,â the current Sun clan was weak when compared to Hou Zi, itâs like comparing a stink bug to an eagle, they were so unappetizing that even Hou Zi was uninterested in âdevouringâ them.
Ye Zhixiang started giggling, âBoss Hou, we really didnât know that this was your hotel, weâre truly sorry.â
On the other side, Hou Zi glanced at her then turned towards Ye Jian: âYoung lady, you better not giggle like a young girl when youâre forty, itâll make you seem like a goblin, any guy would definitely get scared shitless from that.â
This is definitely a big brother who was close with Captain Xia; the way he dissed others was quite amusing.
Ye Jian nodded her head, a smile surfaced on her very tender and lovely face, like a morning breeze that blew past a dew-soaked lotus, bringing with it a refreshing and a very contentful smile, âThanks brother Zi for your reminder, Iâll keep that in mind.â
âIâve never thought Boss Hou was good at making jokes.â Ye Zhixiang, who wore a stiff expression had to force out a smile, âI also have to pay attention to that when Iâm going to turn 40 soon, I canât scare away my bedmate.â
Old Granny Ye realized that this Third Master Hou wasnât going to budge, and had already decided to come forward in Ye Jianâs stead. Thatâs when she decided not to press the issue and said: âBoss Hou, weâll be taking our leave tonight. Itâs already getting late, these old bones of mine are used to sleeping early, weâll be leaving now.â
âGoodbye, I wonât see you out.â Hou Zi was coming forward in Ye Jianâs stead, but he canât meddle in Ye Jianâs family affairs. Besides, he was only here because of Xia Jinyuan2âs older sister, The First Secretary of Yunnan Province, Xia Yiweiâs face, since the old bones were leaving, then his mission here was already complete.
