Overbearing Immortal Doctor
Chapter 45 - 45 45 Lavish Hospitality

45: Chapter 45 Lavish Hospitality 45: Chapter 45 Lavish Hospitality Thanks to Wu Xiaoyu’s help, Ma Xiaomin is now completely fine.

But the thirty thousand yuan that was promised earlier hasn’t been mentioned yet.

Although Wu Xiaoyu was anxious, he didn’t feel it was right to urge.

Approaching noon, Ma Shengming said he wanted to set a banquet at ‘Super Delicious’ to express gratitude, and Wu Xiaoyu naturally wouldn’t refuse, as he hadn’t received his money yet!

The five of them drove to Zhou Dong’s restaurant again, and before they even got out of the car, they saw Zhou Dong waiting at the door from a distance.

He had heard that Wu Xiaoyu had cured Ma Xiaomin, which made him more curious about his good brother Wu Xiaoyu.

The group entered a private room upstairs and had just taken their seats when the waiter started serving dishes, indicating that they had prepared in advance.

“Please don’t mind the modest spread, Mr.

Wu!” Ma Shengming said, while Ma Xiaomin beside him still looked at Wu Xiaoyu with an angry face.

Wu Xiaoyu made the customary polite remarks, and Zhou Dong hurriedly leaned over, whispering, “Why is Ma Xiaomin looking at you like that?

Did you…

hehe…”

Zhou Dong’s father, Zhou Shunyi, knowing his old friend had more to say, quickly knocked his head with a spoon and said, “Just eat your food quietly!”

Ma Shengming gave his wife a look, and she got up, took a purse, and walked over to Wu Xiaoyu, saying, “Mr.

Wu, here is the thirty thousand we promised.

Please count it.”

At this, the people at the table couldn’t help being surprised.

Ma Xiaomin quickly said, “Mom!

Why give him…”

Before she could finish, she felt her father kick her.

Turning her head, she saw her father sternly glaring at her, so she didn’t dare to speak further.

Wu Xiaoyu took the purse without counting it and set it aside.

This demeanor impressed Zhou Shunyi, as a young man in his twenties, receiving such a huge sum of money without even looking at it.

Zhou Dong, however, knew he was pretending.

He leaned over again and whispered, “Are you sure you don’t want to check?

They might have fooled you with stacks of newspaper.”

Wu Xiaoyu knew he was joking and ignored it.

What kind of position does Ma Shengming hold?

Would he do such a shady thing?

Ma Xiaomin’s mother, seeing his composure, appreciated it too.

She said, “I have a trading company in the county.

If Mr.

Wu needs anything, feel free to contact me anytime!”

After speaking, she pulled a business card from her bag and handed it to him.

Wu Xiaoyu accepted the card with both hands and noticed it read, ‘General Manager of Xingye Trading Co., Ltd, Zhang Fang’.

Xingye Trading is the leading enterprise in the entire county, ranking prominently in the entire city and even the province.

No wonder she viewed thirty thousand as nothing.

Ma Xiaomin noticed his astonishment and, adopting a superior attitude, glared at him.

Wu Xiaoyu wasn’t interested in someone as flat as her, not even glancing at her.

After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the atmosphere in the private room became lively.

Ma Shengming even revealed his position as a local bureau director to Wu Xiaoyu.

Although he could have learned this from Zhou Dong, hearing the same words from different people meant something completely different.

If Zhou Dong told him, he would only know that Ma Shengming was a bureau director.

But now, hearing it from Ma Shengming himself, it amounted to a promise.

As the banquet was in full swing, sudden loud disputes broke out from the neighboring private room, followed by the sound of bottles shattering against the wall.

Zhou Shunyi quickly stood up and said, “I’ll go and check.”

Even though Wu Xiaoyu was still talking with Ma Shengming and others, his thoughts had drifted to the neighboring room because he had heard a familiar voice amid the argument.

Seeing that Zhou Shunyi had been gone for a while, Wu Xiaoyu made an excuse to go to the bathroom and walked out.

Heading next door, he saw Zhou Shunyi mediating between an enraged man in a suit and a shouting Bai Yun.

Zhou Shunyi was well aware of these two’s identities but dared not offend either.

He was just trying to smooth things over and get them to leave soon.

After all, his small restaurant couldn’t handle two powerful figures clashing.

Seeing Wu Xiaoyu entering, he quickly whispered, “It’s a trivial matter!

It’ll be over soon!”

Bai Yun, noticing Wu Xiaoyu, immediately pulled him over and hugged his arm, tearfully saying, “Husband, I’m scared!”

Scared, my ass!

She was just yelling, and now she’s acting all demure?

Zhou Shunyi and the man in the suit looked dumbfounded.

What the hell was this?

The man in the suit gritted his teeth and said, “Bai Yun!

Are you playing me?

I’ve watched TV dramas, don’t try this trick on me!”

“Qian Benben, give it up!

I already have a boyfriend, and I have completely committed myself to him.

I will never agree to marrying you as Grandpa wants!” Bai Yun pinched Wu Xiaoyu’s waist, signaling for him to play along.

Completely committed to me?

Don’t spout nonsense!

I haven’t even held your hand!

Wu Xiaoyu, realizing the argument was about marriage, understood.

Hearing the man’s name, though, he knew the guy was rich.

What was the point of using a poor guy like him as a shield?

The man in the suit had long been eyeing Bai Yun’s looks, having set traps to seduce her several times without success.

This morning, hearing from his grandfather about an arranged marriage with the Bai Family and that he would marry Bai Yun, he was elated and promptly asked Bai Yun out.

But after few words, Bai Yun got furious, arguing with him, even smashing a bottle at him.

To top it off, she found some idiot to fool him.

Did she think he was that easy to deceive?

“Kid!

What are you doing here?

If you’re smart, you’ll leave!

Or else you’ll regret it!” the man in the suit threatened.

Wu Xiaoyu originally didn’t want to get involved but hated being threatened the most.

Hearing this bastard talk like that, he got angry, “I’m a butcher.

What now?

Want me to slaughter this pig too?”

Zhou Shunyi, hearing Wu Xiaoyu’s words, became worried.

Who is Qian Benben?

While his old friend might protect him for a while, could he protect him forever?

Just now, he seemed calm and composed, but now he was being reckless.

The man in the suit, hearing himself being insulted, grabbed a chair and was about to smash it, but Zhou Shunyi stopped him.

“Mr.

Qian, don’t lower yourself to his level!

Remember, Shengming and his wife are right next door.

If you disturb them, how could that benefit you?”

But this guy wouldn’t listen.

“Zhou Shunyi!

Don’t use Ma Shengming to scare me.

I know you’re old classmates!

But don’t forget, your restaurant’s expansion depends on our Qian family!”
