Tiger Roars in China
Chapter 71 Gathering
There were three large round tables in the room, and it seemed that everyone was prepared to gather together regardless of status.
Bai Jie introduced to Li Meng in a chattering voice, "The old lady likes to be lively, so tonight, we will all have a big dinner to welcome the return of the young master."
She even leaned close to Li Meng's ear and whispered to him, "The old lady is a very kind person. She doesn't punish the servants when they make mistakes."
But Li Meng didn't realize at all that the old lady was a kind person.
However, he was only thinking about this in his mind and he absolutely did not dare to say it out loud.
Li Meng touched Bai Jie's head intimately and asked, "Did the old lady ask you about me?"
Bai Jie said angrily, "Young Master, haven't you been at the old lady's place all day? We sisters haven't seen the old lady yet!"
Li Meng quickly responded, "Yes, yes, yes, look at my memory!"
On the side, Long Yi stretched out his hand, then quietly retracted it.
However, this very covert action was discovered by Linghua.
Ling Hua's heart couldn't help but tighten. No, could it be that the young master was exposed?
At this moment, Xiaohong and Xiaolu rushed up with a group of girls, pulled Li Meng away from Baimei, Baijie and the others, and pressed her down on her seat.
Xiaolu said sourly, "Xiaomei, Xiaojie, don't always cling to the young master.
You have served the young master for three years, isn't that enough? You should leave some opportunities for us sisters as well."
Xiaolu's words caused the girls to laugh again.
Someone else echoed, "That's right, let Sister Xiaolu and the young master get close to each other."
At this time, two white-haired old ladies brought in the servants to bring in some wine. Seeing that they were making too much noise, they laughed and scolded, "You crazy girls, you haven't even had any wine yet, but you're already acting crazy?
If you anger the old lady, I will sell you out."
The maids stood up together and shouted, "Grandma Xia, Grandma Qiu, you two are the best."
Grandma Qiu slammed her cane and shouted, "Don't be so rude here, get back to work. The dishes are ready, so please invite the old lady over."
As soon as Grandma Qiu spoke, the maids dispersed and went to work.
Li Meng was planning to find an opportunity to exchange information with Shuiyue.
Fan Jian, however, sat down next to Li Meng in a servile manner and said, "Young Sect Master, this place is simply a land of women, so feminine..."
Li Meng interrupted Fan Jian and asked, "Fan Jian, those maids were pulling me just now, what were you doing?"
Fan Jian replied with a puzzled look on his face, "Look! What else can I do?"
Li Meng wanted to kick him away.
"Brother, you are the captain of my guards and you are supposed to keep me safe! They were pulling me, why didn't you stop them?"
Fan Jian scratched his head and said awkwardly, "No, Young Sect Master, are you stopping me with a woman?"
Li Meng was so angry that she laughed.
Long Yi said directly, "You might as well ask him to be the captain of the guards as a pig."
Fan Jian stood up and glared at Long Yida, "Long Yi, I have tolerated you for a long time.
If you have the guts, let's go out and fight one-on-one!"
Without saying a word, Long Yi walked to the door with Fan Jian in his hand and threw him out.
Fan Jian didn't even have a chance to struggle.
Taking advantage of the moment when Long Yi's attention was diverted, Li Meng's hand quietly held Shuiyue's hand.
The person Li Meng trusts the most is Shuiyue.
As soon as their hands separated, Long Yi's eyes were already fixed on Li Meng, as if warning him.
At this time, the housekeeper Lao Hu walked in holding Fan Jian in one hand and a tray in the other.
He first put down Fan Jian, whose nose and face were swollen and as red as red cloth, and then put the tray on the table.
He looked at Long Yi and said in a stern tone, "Don't hit him without thinking. He is the nephew of Elder Fan Jin. You have to give him some face, right?"
Fan Jian was like a puppet, being lifted here and there. He couldn't even lift his head. He wished he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Li Meng walked over, patted Fan Jian on the shoulder, and pulled him to her seat.
Given Fan Jian’s current condition, if Li Meng doesn’t enlighten him in time, he will be ruined.
Considering that he still knew how to cover for herself, Li Meng decided to help him, enlighten him, and comfort his wounded little heart.
"Fan Jian, do you know where you went wrong?"
Li Meng stared at Fan Jian and asked.
Fan Jian didn't even dare to raise his head, and said hesitantly, "I have brought shame to the young master..."
"Wrong! You are only embarrassing yourself, what does it have to do with me?
I need you, not to make you look good, but to find your place!
You are my captain of the guards, and your duty is to ensure my safety. What can you do to ensure my safety?"
Li Meng's voice and expression were stern.
Lao Hu, Long Yi and others looked at Li Meng and the others in surprise, but did not make any noise to disturb them.
Fan Jian finally raised his head and said to Li Meng with a bitter face, "I... I don't know..."
Li Meng patted his shoulder and said, "Take your life!"
Everyone was stunned.
Li Meng didn't care about other people's eyes and continued, "I don't care about your cultivation or your talent. What I need is that at the critical moment, you can use your body to block the cold sword stabbing at me and use your life to ensure my safety!
This is your job, can you do it?"
Fan Jian's eyes became firm, and he shouted as if swearing, "I can do it!"
Li Meng waved his hand and said to Shuiyue, "Give him some treatment. How can he eat with a pig's head?"
Old Hu then smiled and said to Li Meng, "Every word the young master said makes sense. You should all learn from him."
As he spoke, he picked up a few white jade pendants from the tray and handed them to Linghua, Shuiyue, Baimei and Baijie respectively.
“This is a thousand-year-old cold jade. Wearing it can help you clear your mind and focus your spirit, which is helpful for your cultivation.
This is also one of the three treasures of Youzhou, and it was given to you by the old lady."
The four Linghua girls quickly bowed and said, "Thank you, old lady!"
"It's just a little thing, no need to thank me."
No one noticed that the old lady appeared in the restaurant.
Her lower limbs seemed to be paralyzed, and four maids carried her in on a chair.
Li Meng's pupils contracted. How could Li Meng not see through the cultivation levels of those four maids?
But being able to carry a person in silently without attracting anyone's attention means he must be a master!
Li Meng finally understood what the words "Dragon's Lair and Tiger's Den" on the gate meant.
There really are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this Longtan Villa!
The old lady was very easy-going and kind. She glanced at everyone and greeted them with a smile, "Little girls, stop busying yourself and sit down quickly. It's rare that it's so lively today. Let's all have a few more drinks."
A group of little girls were cheering as they served the dishes.
"The old lady is the best!"
The old lady was so happy that her face was beaming with joy. She waved at Li Meng and said, "Come here, child, sit next to me."
Li Meng suddenly felt creepy and his body became a little stiff.
This old lady is like two different people in front of others and behind their backs. Is she schizophrenic?
