”Let’s eat…” Liu Tiannan hummed, then sat down in the main seat with an air of authority.

　　I thought that as the leader of the Nanlong Gang, hosting a banquet for his daughter’s boyfriend would be quite lavish.

　　When three bowls of hot dry noodles, a plate of shredded cucumber, and a plate of bamboo shoots were served, and no other dishes were brought out, Ye Fan was quite surprised.

　　”Is it done?” Ye Fan looked at the hot dry noodles in front of him and said with a mix of amusement and exasperation.

　　Liu Tiannan picked up his chopsticks to eat, but upon hearing Ye Fan speak, he said calmly, “It’s over.”

　　”That’s all?” Ye Fan looked at Liu Qin and found that she also looked calm, but he still caught the meaningful smile in her eyes.

　　”Then what else do you want?” Liu Tiannan asked Ye Fan.

　　”A thief broke into the house?” Ye Fan asked cautiously. This thief is incredibly audacious, daring to break into even a gang leader’s house?

　　”How dare you speak like that?” Liu Tiannan said coldly, his face darkening.

　　”Was it robbed? Or was it extorted by the police?” Ye Fan was still a little confused.

　　Liu Tiannan’s lips twitched, and he looked at Ye Fan with a helpless expression, gritting his teeth as he asked, “What exactly are you trying to say? You’re cursing me just because we’re having a meal?”

　　I wanted to ask: Are you out of money?

　　Ye Fan picked up a shredded cucumber with his chopsticks, popped it into his mouth, chewed it a couple of times, and then said with a resentful look, “Sigh, I thought I was going to have a nice meal. Instead, I treated them to hot dry noodles. How did you become such a lowly gang leader? You’ve fallen this low. Sigh, I think you should just quit being a gangster…”

　　Ye Fan’s voice grew softer and softer as he noticed Liu Tiannan’s expression becoming increasingly grim.

　　If I were to continue speaking, he would probably flip the table on the spot.

　　After all, he was a gang leader, and when he got angry, he was quite frightening.

　　”Wow, this noodle dish is delicious.”

　　Seeing that Liu Tiannan was on the verge of losing control, Ye Fan immediately picked up the hot dry noodles and ate the whole bowl in a few bites.

　　Then, still savoring the taste, he licked his lips and said, “Wow, I’ve never had such delicious hot dry noodles before. Grandpa, is there any more?”

　　”Pfft…” Liu Qin, who was originally dumbfounded, couldn’t help but burst out laughing when she saw Ye Fan’s current appearance.

　　”Show them out,” Liu Tiannan said coldly, slamming his hand on the table angrily.

　　”Did I do something wrong?” Ye Fan scratched his head in confusion and said, “Eating a bowl of hot dry noodles won’t bankrupt you, there’s no need to kick out a customer, is there?”

　　At this moment, Uncle Qi walked over and stood respectfully beside Liu Tiannan, but his eyes were curiously looking at Ye Fan.

　　In his memory, when had the gang leader ever treated a young man so politely?

　　If someone spoke like that normally, he would have already flipped the table or asked Lin Long to take action.

　　”Please, young man,” Uncle Qi gestured to Ye Fan.

　　”But I’m not full yet.”

　　Ye Fan refused to stand up. Seeing that Liu Qin hadn’t touched her chopsticks yet, he quickly grabbed the bowl of hot dry noodles in front of her and, to the astonishment of the three men, devoured it in no time. Then, he wiped his mouth, patted his stomach, and even burped, saying, “Wow, that was delicious. Grandpa, remember to call me next time you eat hot dry noodles!”

　　After saying that, he stared at the bowl of hot dry noodles in front of Liu Tiannan, his eyes rolling around.

　　Liu Tiannan’s eyes twitched incessantly. This kid, was he planning to steal his noodles too? He subtly picked up the bowl and said calmly, “Show him out.”

　　Seeing Uncle Qi take a step forward, Ye Fan licked his lips, reluctantly stood up, and muttered, “I didn’t expect the boss of the Southern Dragon Gang to be so stingy. But since this bowl of noodles tastes pretty good, I’ll just have to put up with it.”

　　Although he spoke very softly, Liu Tiannan and Liu Qin still heard him.

　　Liu Tiannan’s expression changed slightly, but he didn’t react. He just looked at Ye Fan with great curiosity.

　　Liu Qin stared at him with a resentful look, thinking to herself: Would it kill you to say one less word?

　　My father rarely invites people to dinner.

　　If it weren’t for me, would you have been able to eat this bowl of hot dry noodles?

　　”Qinqin, aren’t you going to see me off?” Ye Fan asked, staring at Liu Qin.

　　Upon hearing the name “Qinqin,” Liu Qin’s legs went weak, and she almost collapsed to the ground. Wasn’t she supposed to be called Qin’er? How come there’s another name, Qinqin?

　　Liu Tiannan snorted and said, “Qin’er and I have something to discuss. You can take a taxi home by yourself.”

　　”Oh.” Ye Fan scratched his head and turned to walk outside. But after taking only two steps, he seemed to remember something. He patted his pocket, then turned back around a little embarrassed.

　　What’s this kid up to now? When Ye Fan turned around, Liu Tiannan sensed something was wrong. This kid had too many tricks up his sleeve, even he was finding it hard to keep up.

　　Ye Fan smiled sheepishly and said, “Um… Grandpa, could you lend me 30 yuan? Oh, I know you’re short on money lately, 20 yuan would be fine too.”

　　Liu Tiannan suddenly had a very absurd feeling. What was wrong with him today? He was the leader of the Southern Dragon Gang, yet he couldn’t get angry in front of this kid and was even playing along with his antics.

　　”You want to borrow 20 yuan?” Liu Tiannan’s expression was a little unpleasant.

　　”I only have my card with me, no cash. How can I take a taxi?”

　　Ye Fan spoke the truth.

　　At this moment, he was truly penniless, with only a gold card given to him by his aunt, the amount of which he didn’t know how much money was deposited in it.

　　Liu Tiannan gestured angrily towards Uncle Qi, who then took out a hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Ye Fan.

　　”Twenty yuan is enough, and I don’t have any change to give you,” Ye Fan said firmly.

　　Liu Tiannan was a little annoyed and said coldly, “You can have it.”

　　”Then I’ll write an IOU,” Ye Fan said earnestly.

　　”Let’s go…” Liu Tiannan’s face turned green, on the verge of collapse and going berserk.

　　I think this kid is way too deserving of a beating.

　　He felt that spending even a minute more with this kid could drive him crazy.

　　Looking back at her daughter, she noticed that Liu Qin was also rolling her eyes, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something.

　　”Grandpa, I’m leaving now. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely repay the money I borrowed. I, Ye Fan, am a very principled person, so you don’t need to worry about it. Qinqin, I’m leaving, I’ll miss you…” Ye Fan put the hundred yuan that Uncle Qi gave him into his pocket, then snapped his fingers and said as he walked away.

　　Liu Tiannan’s face turned ashen. He coughed several times in anger, and his throat felt hot, almost causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

　　”Dad…” Liu Qin said cautiously. Ye Fan’s behavior today not only angered her father to the point of almost spitting blood, but also opened her eyes to a whole new world.

　　Liu Tiannan turned back and gave Liu Qin a deep look, then said calmly, “Come with me.” After saying that, he walked straight towards the study.
