"I didn't expect Lin Luo to eat so well. The roast suckling pig in the photo makes my mouth water. I really want to take a bite. It must taste amazing."

Chen Chunxiao wiped her red lips with her hand.

"Dad, I want a whole roasted lamb. The lamb you sell is from adult sheep, and it's been sitting for a long time, so it's not tender at all. This kind of whole roasted lamb is made from lambs, so it must taste really good."

Shan Fengjiao also wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth, which was quite embarrassing.

"It's all because of this snow disaster. Only poor people like this can act tough in front of me. It's infuriating."

Shan Mingliang was also extremely tempted, and his heart was already wavering.

He looked at his wife and daughter and asked, "How about we hold off for now? The temperature will warm up tomorrow, and I'll treat you to a nice meal."

"Honey, I'll do whatever you say."

Chen Chunxiao suppressed the desire in her heart.

"No, I'm getting tired of eating the same food that Auntie makes every day. Today I want something grilled."

"I said coquettishly."

"How about I ask your auntie to bake it for you?"

Shan Mingliang advised.

He was also craving the barbecue that Lin Luo had prepared, but then he remembered that Lin Luo might humiliate him.

Shan Mingliang is a prominent figure in Jinghai City; how could he be blackmailed by an unknown person?

What angered him most was that Lin Luo was supposed to mock him, but instead Lin Luo begged for mercy.

He decided to humiliate Lin Luo one last time before hanging up the phone.

Now that Lin Luo has the trump card of food, the scales are tipping in his favor.

"Auntie's barbecue is not as good as mine. Besides, the lamb you bought is not fresh to begin with, so it will have a very smelly lamb odor when grilled."

"I can't believe it," Shan Fengjuan said with disdain.

"My dear daughter, just bear with it. Most of today is over. Tomorrow morning we'll go to Shanghai to eat the best food. You've always wanted to eat at a Western restaurant that costs tens of thousands of yuan. I'll take you there."

Shan Mingliang comforted her.

"I want to eat it, I want to eat it."

Shan Fengjuan said coquettishly, "It's all Dad's fault for letting me see these photos. If I hadn't seen these photos, I could have tolerated it, but now I can't tolerate it at all."

"Why are you so disobedient, child?"

Shan Mingliang sighed.

"I must eat the feast in the photo today."

Shan Fengjuan showed no intention of stopping.

“Mingliang, you know Fengjuan’s personality. She’s always wanted something and she’s determined to get it.”

Chen Chunxiao was also very envious and advised from the side, "Lin Luo has offended us many times. It's not enough to just teach him a lesson by Zhou Jun."

"You mean you deliberately lied to Lin Luo, saying you'd help him get his money back, and then we'd turn our backs on him?" Shan Mingliang said in a deep voice.

"Mingliang, you're so smart. You knew it as soon as I told you."

“I’ve had this method for a long time, but Lin Luo isn’t stupid; a verbal promise isn’t enough.”

“That’s true. But we can give the money to this person first, and then make him cough it up without leaving a single penny. Mingliang, you’ve been in Jinghai for so many years and have supported so many people. It’s easy for you to kill someone.”

A ruthless glint flashed across Chen Chunxiao's alluring face.

"You have a point."

Shan Mingliang nodded and said, "Jinghai is very strict now, so I can't act as recklessly as before, but killing someone is still easy."

"This Lin Luo is blind and has offended my father. But it's too lenient to let him die. He must be tortured properly to vent my hatred."

Shan Fengjuan chimed in from the side.

After editing the message, Shan Mingliang sent it to Lin Luo.

Lin Luo waited for a while, but Shan Mingliang did not reply.

He felt a bit greasy, so he put hot water in the bathtub.

Lin Luo didn't want to take a hot shower today; she wanted to soak in the bathtub instead.

Previously, his family didn't have a bathtub, so he could only take hot showers.

The house has been renovated and a large bathtub has been installed.

This bathtub is the largest size available; it can easily accommodate two people taking a bath together.

As a normal man, Lin Luo couldn't help but feel a pang of regret.

If there's a pretty girl next to you, you can have a one-hour bath together.

Most people might only be able to last ten minutes, but he's confident he can last an hour.

Lin Luo quickly stopped her pleasant fantasy and prepared to take off her clothes and get into the bathtub.

Having experienced what happened in his past life, he knew how treacherous people could be.

Lin Luo didn't want to sleep in fear every night because of some physiological problem.

He took a bath bag and threw it into the bathtub.

This special bath pack costs around fifty or sixty yuan and contains many precious medicinal herbs.

The water in the bathtub turned slightly reddish-brown and emitted a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

Once the water in the bathtub was at the right temperature, he took off his clothes and got in.

“It’s so comfortable!”

Lin Luo entered the bathtub and let out a long sigh of relief.

The steam from the warm water seeps into your pores.

The steam, carrying medicinal properties, cleansed Lin Luo's meridians, leaving him feeling refreshed.

"No wonder so many people like taking baths, it's really nice."

Lin Luo breathed a sigh of relief.

He prefers hot baths; the hot water feels very comfortable on his skin.

Compared to a hot bath, a soak in the bath is much gentler and less tiring.

A hot bath can relieve the day's fatigue and invigorate your spirit.

Taking a bath can help you recover a lot and bring you joy to both your body and mind.

However, the bathing time is relatively long, at least half an hour.

Lin Luo used to be so busy with work that she never had time to take a bath.

Even though he has a bathtub at home, he doesn't have time to take a bath.

Now that the Ice Age has ended, Lin Luo finally has time to take a bath.

If others knew what Lin Luo was thinking, they would definitely be quite angry.

They have time and a bathtub, but no hot water.

Lin Luo hadn't been lying in the bathtub for long when she received Shan Mingliang's reply.

"Five tables of barbecue, three tables of five-star banquet, and three meals of Thai food."

A cold smile appeared on Lin Luo's lips.

This guy's scheme is brilliant; he offers conditions but doesn't even offer help—he's more thuggish than a rogue.

"If I give him this food, will Boss Shan protect me?"

Lin Luo said in a voice.

"That's for sure. I, Boss Shan, am a prominent figure in Jinghai. I will definitely keep my word once I've accepted your gifts."

"Okay, but could you make the amount of stuff a little less?"

"This is already the bare minimum. If we can't even do this much, I'm afraid we can't cooperate."

"I only have four portions of barbecue. Can I substitute them with Thai food?"

Lin Luo discussed it.

"Yes, that's possible, but the barbecue is a bit more expensive than Thai food, and you'll need to add a bottle of Moutai liquor."

Shan Mingliang emphasized, "This Moutai must be Feitian Moutai, not some off-brand liquor. You must remember that."

"?"

Lin Luo was filled with questions.

This old fox really dares to mention anything. The barbecue includes ingredients such as whole roasted lamb and roasted suckling pig, and a meal costs six thousand yuan.

Thai cuisine uses fresh seafood, such as lobster and red shrimp, and a meal can cost around 5,000 yuan.

The two are only a thousand yuan apart, yet Shan Mingliang shamelessly asked for a bottle of Feitian Moutai.

The value of a bottle of Feitian Moutai is five thousand yuan, which is five times that of a bottle of one thousand yuan.

All I can say is that this cunning old fox is shameless; he made such a shameless request sound so ordinary.
