Chapter 17: A Dog will Always be a Dog
Three guys were drinking at a small restaurant near their homes, chatting about fun times from the past and catching up on their current situations.
Li Gang had opened a small store with his family, while Wang Xiaoqiang was working for someone else, and both were getting by so-so.
Song Xiaodong had joined the army right after high school graduation. These two guys didn’t go to college and had been messing around in society for a while without making a name for themselves, so they settled down and started earning money honestly.
As they were happily drinking, Wang Xiaoqiang’s expression suddenly turned ugly. Li Gang glanced towards the door, snorted, and said, "Scum!"
"What happened?" Song Xiaodong turned his head, just in time to see six or seven people walking past the entrance of the restaurant.
Li Gang said angrily, "Xiaoqiang was dating a girl, but a few days ago, that bastard Su Peng stole her away."
Song Xiaodong said, "Su Peng? The guy who used to follow us around all the time?"
Li Gang curled his lip and said, "Yeah, him. He’s acting all high and mighty now, recognized an Eldest Brother, and now he’s strutting around with six or seven underlings. He struts around our area, untouchable by anyone. Damn, he used to hang out with us like a dog, and now he’s acting all big, completely disregarding us."
Wang Xiaoqiang promptly tipped his head back and drained the glass, saying, "Let’s not talk about it anymore, Dongzi is back, we came out to have fun, why bring up such unpleasant things?"
"You want to have fun, but it looks like that won’t be possible now," muttered Li Gang, annoyed. The same group that had passed by earlier had turned around and entered the small restaurant.
