Chapter 105 Huo Shaoting
Chapter 105 Huo Shaoting
The man was about twenty-two years old, the youngest in the room, dressed in a suit and white shirt, exuding a lazy and casual air.
With delicate features, fair skin, and slightly upturned eyes—typical fox eyes—he smiled broadly upon seeing Qin Yingxue and Bai Haijian, revealing a set of strikingly white and even teeth. His voice was warm and gentle like a spring breeze: "You two bought so much stuff? Lao Hei, send someone to take you two back."
"Yes." A burly man appeared out of nowhere, his face full of respect.
“Brother Hei…” Bai Haijian clearly recognized Lao Hei and was startled. He quickly said, “No need to trouble yourself…we…”
"Kid," Old Hei stepped forward and put his arm around Bai Haijian's shoulder, "You guys have been so supportive of our business, it's only right that you see us off."
Bai Haijian was so frightened that he dared not move, and his face turned pale instantly.
"Let go." Qin Yingxue noticed Bai Haijian's fear and stepped forward to block Lao Hei.
Anger flashed across Old Hei's fleshy face, and he was about to reprimand him when a gentle voice came from behind him: "Old Hei, don't scare the guests."
The old man, who had been looking ferocious, instantly became docile. He released Bai Haijian and patted him on the shoulder instead, laughing and saying, "Young man, don't be so timid! I was just trying to help you get home."
The way he said those words from his fleshy face was terrifying no matter how you looked at it.
Bai Haijian trembled in fright, his legs went weak and he almost knelt on the ground.
I used to work at the docks, and I heard that many people who ran out of tickets spent money here to buy the supplies they needed.
They weren't harassed or intimidated, so why were they so unlucky to run into this evil star?
Aunt...
Bai Haijian was most worried about Qin Yingxue. His aunt was gentle and kind, and these people must have had bad intentions because they saw how beautiful she was.
Thinking of this, Bai Haijian felt a surge of regret and wished he could slap himself a few times.
If something happens to his aunt, he won't live either...
"Who asked you to deliver it!" Qin Yingxue stepped forward and snatched Bai Haijian from Lao Hei's hands.
Old Hei, having been humiliated, immediately darkened his face and began to curse: "Don't push your luck..."
Qin Yingxue sneered, about to make a move, when she heard a cold, stern voice beside her: "Old Hei, slap him."
The voice was neither loud nor soft, but it no longer had the gentleness it once had.
The atmosphere in the room froze instantly. Qin Yingxue saw that everyone else had their heads down and didn't dare to move. Lao Hei's face was a mixture of red and green. Finally, he gritted his teeth and swung his large hand like a fan at his own face.
Qin Yingxue tensed up and couldn't help but look at the man not far away.
If she had only glanced at him before and thought his aura was different and he was better looking than others, now that even someone as fierce as Lao Hei is afraid of him, this person is definitely not simple.
“I didn’t discipline you properly, and I’ve frightened you two.” The man took a few steps forward and walked up to Qin Yingxue and Bai Haijian.
Seeing that Bai Haijian looked unwell, she said gently, "To apologize to you both, I'll waive the money you bought today. Would you be willing?"
Bai Haijian looked at the man's warm smile, and almost agreed. He quickly looked at Qin Yingxue.
Qin Yingxue looked at the man, her face beaming with a smile: "This is no small sum of money."
"For me, a simple apology isn't enough to comfort you two. If you trust me, I'll personally drive you home, how about that?"
Huo Shaoting looked sincerely at Qin Yingxue and Bai Haijian.
Undoubtedly, this was the point that most touched Qin Yingxue.
She didn't want to ride in a bumpy truck that could shake her insides out again, and more importantly, she wanted to see how expressive the man surnamed Huo's face would be after he delivered them to the military camp.
Qin Yingxue was never a soft-hearted person, and she was certain that even if she rejected the man's kindness, he would definitely send someone to investigate their identities.
We'll find out sooner or later, so why not take advantage of it?
“Okay, but there are still five of us, and one car can’t fit everyone.” Qin Yingxue said to Huo Shaoting bluntly.
Huo Shaoting smiled, his tone still gentle; "Okay, I'll send two cars."
Qin Yingxue nodded in satisfaction and patted Bai Haijian on the shoulder: "Haijian, take your things, let's go home."
"..."
Bai Haijian was so frightened that his mind went blank, and he could only subconsciously follow Qin Yingxue.
Soon, two black sedans stopped at the street corner.
Huo Shaoting said something inside, and when they came out, everyone who saw Qin Yingxue forced a fawning smile, stiff and ridiculous, which was quite an eyesore.
Qin Yingxue pretended not to know anything, and with Huo Shaoting being polite and composed, she led Bai Haijian to sit in the back seat of the first car.
Bai Haijian followed Qin Yingxue closely the entire time, his whole body tense. If he sensed anything amiss, he was ready to immediately stand in front of his aunt and prevent her from suffering any harm.
Zhu Huiwen and her children were hiding in the shade to cool off when they saw Qin Yingxue get out of the car and a very handsome man greet them politely. Zhu Huiwen was stunned.
The first car could only fit one more person, so Qin Yingxue called Xiao Haifeng up.
Zhu Huiwen, Wen's siblings, and Yang Weijun got into the second car.
Two cars were slowly driving along the bumpy road when Huo Shaoting broke the silence inside the car.
"I haven't yet asked your name, young lady. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Huo Shaoting." Huo Shaoting looked at Qin Yingxue in the rearview mirror with a smile on his face.
"Qin Yingxue." Qin Yingxue seemed oblivious to Huo Shaoting's scrutinizing gaze and said gracefully, "They are two brothers, the elder named Bai Haijian and the younger named Bai Haifeng. They are both fishermen from Baisha Village. They lost their parents at a young age, and their only relative passed away last year. Now, only the two brothers are left to depend on each other."
Huo Shaoting showed a slight surprise on his face, then said frankly, "Brother Bai, if you come to support our business in the future, I'll have them give you a 20% discount."
Bai Haijian was completely bewildered, not knowing how the two of them had gotten onto the topic of him.
"Haijian, why don't you thank this big brother?" Qin Yingxue patted Bai Haijian on the shoulder.
Bai Haijian then came to his senses and thanked Qin Yingxue, saying, "Thank you, big brother."
The driver twitched his lips and gave Bai Haijian a look that said, "You have the courage."
This was the first time Pei Xiang had ever encountered someone who dared to call Master Huo "Big Brother."
"Thank you, big brother," Little Sea Breeze said immediately after hearing his older brother's words.
The childish voice echoed in the carriage, and even Qin Yingxue couldn't help but smile.
Her smiling eyes looked forward, which were caught by Huo Shaoting's captivating gaze.
