Chapter 653 - 346 Another Him_2
Hua Xiaomai didn’t get a chance to answer before Chun Xi next to her came drifting in with a whisper.
"Xiaomai, your brother Yuhuai is really spoiling you. Where is it seen that whatever you say goes? You can’t be of help with a man’s business, so why run over there? If something happens, he has to protect you; aren’t you adding to his troubles?"
Hua Xiaomai knew she couldn’t explain herself clearly to her, so she didn’t bother to say much, just smiled and replied, "I won’t add to his troubles," and then turned to Qing You and said, "Don’t rush to the Provincial City just yet, wait until tomorrow after we’ve discussed everything, then it won’t be too late to go."
After speaking, she hurried out the door and onto the carriage with Li Yingchun.
...
Inside the Lianshun Escort Agency, the atmosphere was tense at the moment.
The fierce wind carried the torrential rain, howling violently, causing the tree branches to sway uncertainly; the water in the courtyard had overflowed the ankles.
Dong Deyou and Lv Bin braved the rain, standing in the middle of the courtyard, with four or five burly men behind them. As Li Yingchun had said, they were all towering and muscular, their arms bulging with tendons, giving off an intimidating presence that set one’s heart pounding just by looking at them.
Meng Yuhuai sat steadily under the eaves of the front hall, his gaze calm, his expression composed, unwaveringly watching the people in the courtyard. Han Hu and the others stood to the sides, each folding their arms and clenching their teeth so hard that veins popped on their foreheads, looking like tigers ready to pounce.
Hua Xiaomai, following Li Yingchun, slipped into the Escort Agency through the back door unnoticed and made her way to the front yard, ducking directly into a vacant room. She perched on the windowsill to take a look outside and was immediately startled by the scene.
Goodness, is this going to be a gang fight? It’s terrifying. Dong Deyou doesn’t have many people with him; he won’t be able to gain the upper hand, will he?
The rain was just too heavy, pounding on the roof with a persistent drumming noise, and the folks from Shenglong Escort Agency looked as though they had just been fished out of a pond, thoroughly drenched from head to toe, which unavoidably made them appear a bit disheveled. However, since their host had not spoken, they could not enter the room and had no choice but to tough it out in the rain.
