Chapter 181: Slap Someone

Chapter 181: Chapter 181: Slap Someone

They arrived at the shop where Xiao Li and Hu Meifeng worked. Xiao Li and Hu Meifeng were helping the customers when they arrived there.

Hu Meifeng was the one who noticed them. She was surprised to see Bai Xifeng with them.

After the customers left the shop, they approached Xiao Li and Hu Meifeng.

"Young Mi... Master." Xiao Li managed to change the word. "What are you doing here?"

"I met to see you. Hmm... You are doing well." Bai Xifeng grinned. She gave the tanghulu that she had been saved for them. "Here, this is for you two."

Both of them received the tanghulu. However, before they managed to eat it, they heard an angry voice call for Hu Meifeng.

"Hu Meifeng, why are you slacking off?" It was a woman who similar to Hu Meifeng’s age came over and screamed at Hu Meifeng.

"And now you are eating?" The woman looked at the tanghulu that was being held by Hu Meifeng. "How old are you to eat something like that?"

"Cao Jinghua, it has nothing to do with you." Hu Meifeng frowned.

"Nothing to do with me?" Cao Jinghua approached Hu Meifeng closer and grabbed the tanghulu before throwing it to the ground.

The sugar-coated on the fruit broke all over the floor.

"Cao Jinghua, what are you doing?" Hu Meifeng shouted.

"If you still want to eat it, you can collect it from the floor." Cao Jinghua smirked.

"You...." Hu Meifeng glared at Cao Jinghua.

"What? Why are you looking at me like this? You should remember your place. You are working at our shop. So, you are my slave. Now, clean up this mess and continue to work." Cao Jinghua lifted her chin arrogantly.

Bai Xifeng stepped forward in front of Cao Jinghua. Cao Jinghua just realized that there were customers in the shop.

Cao Jinghua checked out the customer’s look. She could say that this customer was very good-looking ones. But he was too young for her since he was already 21 years old.

"Yes, Sir. What can I help you with?" Cao Jinghua smiled.

"Yes, you can." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"Please tell me, Sir." Cao Jinghua started.

Bai Xifeng lifted her hand and slapped Cao Jinghua’s cheek. It was a loud and clear sound of the slap. Everyone was startled by Bai Xifeng’s action.

Cao Jinghua was stunned at the moment before snapping back to Bai Xifeng.

"You! What did you just do to me?" Cao Jinghua held the cheek that had been slapped by Bai Xifeng.

"You ask me? I am teaching a rude person to behave." Bai Xifeng said.

"How dare you slap me? Do you know who I am?" Cao Jinghua shouted.

The commotion outside made the owner of the shop, Cao Jingnan come out.

"What happened here? Why are you shouting loudly, Jinghua?" Cao Jingnan asked.

"Brother Jingnan, this brat slapped me in the face." Cao Jinghua complained about that while pointing her finger at Bai Xifeng.

Cao Jingnan looked at the Bai Xifeng. Looking at Bai Xifeng’s appearance, he could assume this young man was the son of a noble family.

However, he did not remember Bai Xifeng at all. Bai Xifeng was probably travelling here. Even though Bai Xifeng was not from here, he did not dare to offend Bai Xifeng.

"Young Master, why do you slap my sister?" Cao Jingnan asked.

"First, she is rude to my people. Second, she was wasting food in front of me." Bai Xifeng started the reason why she slapped Cao Jinghua.

"What? When did I do that?" Cao Jinghua asked back.

"Do you forget what you say to Meifeng? Is it your slave just because she works at your family shop? And that tanghulu, I bought and gave it to her. You dare snatch it and throw it on the ground." Bai Xifeng glanced at the tanghulu on the ground.

"What? Hu Meifeng is your people?" Cao Jinghua was surprised.

Cao Jingnan was surprised too. He turned to Hu Meifeng.

"Is it true?" Cao Jingnan asked.

"Yes." Hu Meifeng nodded. "I tell you before that we are just working here temporarily. We are waiting for our master to come."

"And you are saying he is your master?" Cao Jingnan asked again.

"Yes." Hu Meifeng stated.

"What?" Cao Jinghua was shocked to hear it.

She thought Hu Meifeng came and started working here just to be with her brother. She just came to the shop 3 days ago after hearing some women worked for her brother.

"My people had suffered by working at your shop. I will take them back." Bai Xifeng said.

"But..." Cao Jingnan wanted to protest.

Hu Meifeng and Xiao Li were great helpers for the shop. He did not want to lose the workers.

"Thank you for taking care of my people." Bai Xifeng said. She turned to her subordinates. "Let’s go and leave."

"Wait. You can not leave after slapping me." Cao Jinghua shouted.

Bai Xifeng turned around and looked at the siblings. Cao Jingnan and Cao Jinghua immediately kneeled down after feeling the heavy oppression.

Cao Jingnan and Cao Jinghua were very very shocked by this young man’s oppression. He was already this strong at a young age.

"Do you still want me to stay here?" Bai Xifeng asked.

"No... sir... Have... Mercy..." Cao Jingnan let the words out of his mouth.

"Good. I am going to leave with my people." Bai Xifeng stated.

They left the shop. When Bai Xifeng left, the heavy oppression disappeared. Cao Jingnan and Cao Jinghua felt very relieved.

Cao Jingnan turned Cao Jinghua and slapped her face.

Cao Jinghua looked at her brother in shock. She had been slapped by that young man on her right cheek earlier. And now she had been slapped by her own brother on her left cheek.

"You stupid sister!!!" Cao Jingnan shouted.

He was feeling angry. Because of his stupid sister, their family offended powerful figures.

As he expected, that young man was from a noble family. Not many people could have that strength at such a young age.

His sister also offended a woman that he was interested in. It was a disaster.

"You should go home. I will find someone for you to marry later." Cao Jingnan made a decision.

"What? Brother Jingnan, you can not do that to me." Cao Jinghua cried.

"I should let you get married earlier. It is my fault. Otherwise, you would not cause trouble like this." Cao Jingnan said

"No... No... No... Brother Jingnan, you can not do this to me. I don’t want to get married to someone that I don’t know." Cao Jinghua shook her head.

"It is not up to you." Cao Jingnan would not change his decision.

He would explain to their mother about this. He felt that their mother would understand about that.

"How can you work at a place like that?" Yu Xiaoqing asked.

"Well, the place is fine until the sister comes three days ago." Xiao Li said.

"I don’t think that the sister is a lunatic." Hu Meifeng sighed. "Even if Young Master did not come today, I am planning to quit my job there."

"That’s a good decision." Yu Xiaoqing nodded.

"By the way, how are you, Young Master? Are you fine?" Xiao Li looked at Bai Xifeng.

Bai Xifeng laughed. "Of course, I am fine."

"How is your life at the military camp? Do you meet your father and brother?" Xiao Li asked.

"Hmm... I did." Bai Xifeng nodded.

"That’s great." Xiao Li said.

"By the way, I am going to bring you guys to the military camp too." Bai Xifeng stated.

"Is it okay?" Xiao Li was surprised.

"Hmmm... Father and big brother want me to." Bai Xifeng nodded.

The sky already turned its color. The night would be arriving soon.

"Let’s return to the inn first. We are going to the military camp tomorrow morning." Bai Xifeng looked at the sky.

"Yes, Young master." They answered.

"Hmm.... We are going to have dinner first." Bai Xifeng said.

They laughed. Bai Xifeng was still the same.

....

Bai Xiang looked at his son, Bai Tingfeng.

"Where is Xixi? Is she not returned yet?" Bai Xiang asked.

"Not yet. It is probably some delay on her side." Bai Tingfeng said.

"Is she going to be okay?" Bai Xiang asked again.

"I am sure she will be fine." Bai Tingfeng assured his worried father.
