Chapter 1359 - 1358: Where Did the Peach Come From?
"You’re in trouble."
In the small courtyard of the Wax Hutong, only adorned with red lanterns but no signboard, there now wafts a delightful mix of aromas—meat, herbs, along with the faint scent of rouge from a young woman cooking—lending the whole yard an agreeable and natural charm.
At this very moment, Yusuf Zuck and Thunderbolt Beads are inside this courtyard. It’s a tidy private residence, not open to the public. As for the relationship between Thunderbolt Beads and the young woman, Yusuf cannot fathom, because she has a husband, a simple and honest man. Since Thunderbolt Beads arrived, the couple did not seem at all uneasy, treating him simply as a guest.
"I know." Yusuf took a sip of tea, smiled, and said, "The Arellano Family and the Berger Family are probably both keeping an eye on me. The moment you leave, they’ll come looking for me immediately!"
"Then why do you still dare to defy Everett Berger? You dare to not go back with him? I can’t protect you forever!" Thunderbolt Beads said teasingly.
"No need to protect me for a lifetime, just a month and a half will do. Within this month and a half, I will follow you wherever you go. Wherever you head, I head!"
"A month and a half?" Thunderbolt Beads was momentarily stunned, then he calculated with his fingers and said, "In a month and a half, it’s the Star Festival. The treasure appraisal gathering will also begin. What’s going on with you?" Thunderbolt Beads was puzzled. Would Yusuf Zuck no longer fear the Arellano and Berger Families after a month and a half?
"Let’s not talk about that." Yusuf shook his head, paused for a moment, and then said, "Senior, there’s something I want to ask you."
"What is it, tell me. But you might as well call me ’Big Brother’. You keep switching between ’Senior’ and ’Big Brother’, it’s confusing. Just stick to ’Big Brother’!" Thunderbolt Beads laughed heartily.
"Alright, Big Brother, about the Appraisal Pavilion’s auction—is there any mistake?"
"What do you mean?" Thunderbolt Beads asked, puzzled.
