If she really called him ‘Uncle,’ wouldn’t he be messing up the seniority? Then Sir Xia would probably stop contacting him any more.
Ye Jian pocketed the name card with a smile and said politely: “Brother Zi, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”
“Don’t worry about it, and this is only because our hotel’s services were lacking.” 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 must’ve 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!
There’s a saying on the streets: you’d instead get on the bad side of the cops then get on Hou Zi’s bad side!
“So you’re Third Master Hou, my apologies, my apologies.” Old Granny Ye started laughing. Once a smile surfaced on her bold face, she immediately looked amiable, “I’m truly sorry, I hadn’t known this was Third Master Hou’s territory, this unfilial granddaughter of mine…”
Hou Zi raised his hand and spoke with an unconvincing tone: “I’ve quit being a master for so long, I’ve already stopped my evil ways and am being good since so long ago, why are there people who still don’t know that? You’re already old; if you lose your hearing or your vision, it’s 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 doesn’t like to meddle will have to step in.”
One word from him was enough to instantly make different emotions surface on Old Granny Ye’s well-maintained face, genuinely fascinating, and an apology floated out of her mouth, “So that’s how it is, no wonder I haven’t heard much about Boss Hou during the past few years.”
“This girl beside Boss Hou is my granddaughter, and she has some misunderstandings with this Old Granny, she doesn’t want to go home, so she’s 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 wouldn’t disturb Boss Hou.
Her straightforward and smooth-flowing apology made it seem like she doesn’t find it weird for someone of her age to apologize to this person who wasn’t even over 40 yet.
The motto of the streets is ‘might makes right,’ the current Sun clan was weak when compared to Hou Zi, it’s like comparing a stink bug to an eagle, they were so unappetizing that even Hou Zi was uninterested in ‘devouring’ them.
Ye Zhixiang started giggling, “Boss Hou, we really didn’t know that this was your hotel, we’re truly sorry.”
On the other side, Hou Zi glanced at her then turned towards Ye Jian: “Young lady, you better not giggle like a young girl when you’re forty, it’ll make you seem like a goblin, any guy would definitely get scared shitless from that.”
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, “Thanks brother Zi for your reminder, I’ll keep that in mind.”
“I’ve never thought Boss Hou was good at making jokes.” Ye Zhixiang, who wore a stiff expression had to force out a smile, “I also have to pay attention to that when I’m going to turn 40 soon, I can’t scare away my bedmate.”
Old Granny Ye realized that this Third Master Hou wasn’t going to budge, and had already decided to come forward in Ye Jian’s stead. That’s when she decided not to press the issue and said: “Boss Hou, we’ll be taking our leave tonight. It’s already getting late, these old bones of mine are used to sleeping early, we’ll be leaving now.”
“Goodbye, I won’t see you out.” Hou Zi was coming forward in Ye Jian’s stead, but he can’t meddle in Ye Jian’s family affairs. Besides, he was only here because of Xia Jinyuan’s older sister, The First Secretary of Yunnan Province, Xia Yiwei’s face, since the old bones were leaving, then his mission here was already complete.
