Hearing Li Weiguo’s words, Cheng Xiaofan knew the other party was unhappy. In the eyes of this old classmate who couldn’t tolerate a grain of sand, he had become a vile scumbag.
This was too unfair!
Alas!
Just as Cheng Xiaofan was about to cry out his grievance, Li Weiguo immediately said again, “Old classmate, I admire your heaven-defying abilities, but I hope you can stay true to your original intentions and be a decent person!”
“Especially in front of your goddess Bai, letting other beautiful women call you master, just for this, do you feel worthy of your fiancée?”
They hadn’t seen each other for years, and Li Weiguo’s personality hadn’t changed at all. When criticizing someone, he never held back, regardless of who was present.
It was precisely because of this that Cheng Xiaofan valued the camaraderie of their former classmates so much.
In this era, such pure classmate affection was truly rare.
“Mr. Li, you’ve misunderstood my master!” Just as Cheng Xiaofan was about to explain his relationship with Matsushita Kinko to Li Weiguo, Matsushita Kinko spoke first.
Matsushita Kinko said, “It was I who insisted on recognizing your old classmate as my master. If I hadn’t gone through earth-shattering events, I wouldn’t have been so stubborn as to recognize Mr. Cheng as my master even if it meant death!”
“What exactly happened that made you insist on recognizing my old classmate as your master?” Li Weiguo’s curiosity was piqued, and he pressed further.
“It’s good that there are no outsiders here, so I’ll tell you what happened!” Immediately, Matsushita Kinko recounted her relationship with the Blood Demon Sect’s Inoue Masayoshi, and how Cheng Xiaofan appeared in the Blood Demon Sect’s lair, detailing everything.
After the entire story was told, everyone present was shocked.
Even Bai Yiling couldn’t imagine what kind of bloody battle her mysterious man had experienced during his last visit to the Land of the Rising Sun.
Waseda looked at Cheng Xiaofan as if he were a god.
“Old classmate, I apologize, I misunderstood you!”
Through Matsushita Kinko’s account, Li Weiguo finally understood that his old classmate was an extraordinary figure.
Even people from the Blood Demon Sect in the Land of the Rising Sun resented Cheng Xiaofan’s abilities and tried every means to get rid of him, which showed how formidable he was.
Li Weiguo gave a wry smile and said to Cheng Xiaofan, “It’s all my fault. I’ve been tied up with this hotel, oblivious to the outside world, and had no idea such a major event occurred in Yamaguchi Prefecture!”
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, “It’s not your fault at all. After I wiped out the Blood Demon Sect last time, I also cautioned Kinko to keep this matter quiet.”
“If she hadn’t transferred all of the Blood Demon Sect’s assets to my name, no one would have known about it, except for a few who might have suspected me.”
He then turned to Matsushita Kinko and said, “Kinko, it’s best if you stop calling me ‘master’. Call me ‘Brother Xiaofan’ directly. I really can’t accept that title!”
“Master, I’ve gotten used to it, I really can’t change it!”
Matsushita Kinko said, “Besides, Master lets me sit at the same table to eat, as equals. Master doesn’t treat me like a subordinate at all, so what’s the big deal!”
“…” Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan was truly speechless.
He had asked her to change her address more than once, but she just couldn’t.
Alas!
Alas!
Seeing Cheng Xiaofan’s troubled expression, Li Weiguo couldn’t help but laugh and say, “Old classmate, it’s my fault. I didn’t know the inside story. Since Kinko insists on calling you master, then don’t dwell on it!”
“Yes, don’t make it difficult for Kinko!” Bai Yiling chimed in to support Matsushita Kinko.
Cheng Xiaofan shrugged his shoulders and said, “Alright, let Kinko call me whatever she likes. As long as I hear it, it’s fine. However, in important occasions, it’s best to avoid it to prevent misunderstandings and maintain my upright persona!”
He’s bragging again!
However, these words could easily lead to misinterpretations.
What did he mean by letting Kinko call him whatever she liked?
How exactly should she call him?
As they ate and chatted, time slipped by, and it was getting late.
Li Weiguo said to Cheng Xiaofan, “Old classmate, I have accommodation in my hotel. You and Goddess Bai can stay here tonight!”
“Okay, Goddess Bai and I will stay here tonight!” He was too lazy to go back to Matsuki Chiyo’s inn.
Matsushita Kinko rose to take her leave, saying to Cheng Xiaofan and Bai Yiling, “Master, Goddess Bai, my aunt and I are going back. Tomorrow morning, I will drive over to pick you up and take you to the group company headquarters!”
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, “Alright, you can go back then!”
After Matsushita Kinko and her aunt left, Waseda was also about to leave.
“Waseda, I have something to say to you!” Cheng Xiaofan quickly called out to him.
Waseda respectfully asked, “Mr. Cheng, what advice do you have? I will listen attentively!”
Cheng Xiaofan gently patted him on the shoulder and smiled, saying, “You don’t need to be so formal with me. I want to tell you that you are different from Hiyama and the others. Tomorrow, come and help my old classmate with some miscellaneous matters here!”
Hearing this, Waseda said happily, “Great! I’m wasting my time anyway. Having something to do here will make me feel much more fulfilled!”
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, “Today you’ve also tasted the vegetables I cultivated and the wine I developed. Once these dishes and wine are launched at the Tang Dynasty Hotel, they are bound to be a huge hit.”
“Work hard with my old classmate, and you will have a bright future!”
Waseda said excitedly, “Mr. Cheng, I can see that anyone who gets close to you will have good luck in the future!”
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, “It’s not that exaggerated. Good luck comes from one’s own efforts!”
“Also, I must warn you, in the future, you must never associate with people like Hiyama and those around him again!”
Waseda said, “Mr. Cheng, I will definitely keep your words in mind!”
“Old classmate, I have a suggestion!” Li Weiguo said at this moment.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, “Go ahead!”
Li Weiguo said, “Why don’t we let Waseda give the medicine you gave them to Hiyama and the others? I don’t want to see them anymore, and I don’t want them to appear in my hotel.”
“I’m worried that their presence in the hotel will affect the guests’ appetites!”
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, “I just felt that Hiyama and the others were too arrogant, and I wanted to take this opportunity to punish them properly.”
“Since you’ve said so, then let Waseda give them the medicine. I hope they can learn their lesson and not be so presumptuous!”
Waseda smiled and said, “Mr. Cheng, with you backing Mr. Li, they wouldn’t dare to come here and cause trouble even if they were beaten to death!”
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, “That’s right, I don’t think they have the guts to do so!”
“Oh, right, Waseda, it’s getting late. You should go back and rest early!”
Waseda stood up and said, “Okay, then I’ll be going back now!”
As he was leaving, he hesitated for a moment, turned around, glanced at the remaining food on the table, and pleaded with Li Weiguo, “Boss Li, can I take some of the leftover food back for my grandfather to eat?”
Hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan’s brow immediately furrowed. “Waseda, from the aura I sense from you, you seem to be an orphan. Where do you have a grandfather?”
