Chapter 773 - Suddenly Had a New Brother

If she really called him uncle, their seniority would be in a mess. Master Xia might not want to contact him anymore.

Ye Jian smiled as she took the name card. She said politely, “Brother Zi, I’m sorry to trouble you.”

“It’s not troublesome at all. This is the problem with our hotel’s service.” Hou Zi raised his eyebrows as he looked at this senior high student whose eyebrows jumped a little when she heard this name. His smile got deeper.

He bet that this young lady knew who he was.

Hou Zi was very famous in the underground world. He was neither good nor bad. The people in the mafia world felt helpless when they saw him, and the people on the good side couldn’t do anything to him.

This was the neither good nor bad man that Xia Yiwei had to maintain her distance with even though they had feelings for each other. At least on the surface, they needed to keep their distance.

Grandma Ye felt her heart drop tremendously. Hou Zi! She didn’t expect the man who looked prettier than a lady but didn’t appear lady-like at all to be Hou Zi.

There was a saying in the underground world. You will rather offend the police than provoke Hou Zi!

“So it’s Third Master Hou. Please accept my respects.” When Grandma Ye smiled, the smile on her portly face gave her an amiable aura. “I’m really sorry. I didn’t expect this to be your territory. My unfilial granddaughter...”

Hou Zi raised his hand and replied to her, “I haven’t been a master for many years. I have already turned over a new leaf. Why are there people that still don’t know this? You’re getting old. If you are starting to get deaf, you should go home and retire. Why are you still coming out to do bad things? I’m not a busybody, but even I don’t think that this is right.” His words were half-truth and half-fake.

This reply caused Grandma Ye’s face to turn green and white. Her expression was really interesting. However, she apologized in a calm tone, “I see. No wonder I haven’t heard of your name in so many years.”

“Boss Hou, the person beside you is my granddaughter. She has some misunderstanding towards me and doesn’t want to go back home. This is our family business. Please forgive us for causing trouble. We will take care of this issue here behind closed doors. We will not disturb Boss Hou again.”

It was a fluent apology. It seemed as if Grandma Ye didn’t feel that there was anything wrong for an old lady like her to apologize to a young man that wasn’t even forty years old.

In the underground world, the strong had power. Now, the Sun family was the weak one. As compared to Hou Zi, they were like a stinky bug compared to a soaring eagle. Hou Zi didn’t even have the interest to ‘eat’ them.

Ye Zhixiang smiled sweetly and said, “Boss Hou, we really didn’t know that this is your hotel. We’re extremely sorry.”

Hou Zi glanced at her before turning to Ye Jian and said, “Little girl, in the future, when you turn 40 years old, don’t learn to smile sweetly like a young lady. You will look like a demon. Any men will faint from fright if they see someone like this.”

As expected of Captain Xia’s good brother. When he teased people, he was hilarious.

Ye Jian nodded. There was a small smile on her soft and tender face. Her smile was like dews on a lotus leaf at dawn. It was refreshing and calm. “Thank you, Brother Zi. I’ll remember it.”

“I didn’t know that Boss Hou can make jokes.” Ye Zhixiang’s expression had turned awkward, but she still had to force a smile out. “When I turn forty years old, I’ll remember it too. I can’t scare my husband away.”

Grandma Ye could see that nothing was able to push Third Master Hou away. He had already decided to help Ye Jian. Thus, she gave up her resistance and said, “Boss Hou, sorry to disturb you tonight. It’s not early anymore. I’m an old lady. I sleep early. We’ll make a move then.”

“Goodbye, I won’t send you off.” Hou Zi was able to help Ye Jian, but he couldn’t interfere with Ye Jian’s family matters. Also, he only helped Ye Jian because of Xia Jinyuan’s sister, the first secretary of the Southern Province, Xia Yiwei. Since the old lady was leaving, his mission was completed.
