Chapter 159. To Collect Debt
Luo Qianqian glared at Su Liancheng like a mama bear who was trying to protect her baby bear, “But my Murong Yun works hard for his money! I need to broaden sources of income and reduce expenditure for him!”
Su Liancheng pouted slightly, ‘Why didn’t you say anything about my money and got all defensive when I mentioned the possibility of spending my Brother Ninth’s money! Surely you know how to protect you and your future husband’s property!’
“Get out of my way, no one can stop me from entering a room!”
“Young Master, I’m so sorry, but this private room is taken, there are other rooms available on this level, please have a look.” a busboy tried to smooth things over.
“No way I’m going to change my mind. Do you know who I am?” an overbearing voice came.
“Young Master, this auction will go on smoothly on the condition that all the guests play the game. Please let me show you the way to the available rooms.” the busboy smiled obsequiously while he rolled his eyes in his heart, ‘I don’t care who you are, I’m sure you are no match for the guests in the room right now!’
“Try me!”
Luo Qianqian found this overbearing voice familiar, she was fairly sure she knew who that was.
“Murong Yun?” Luo Qianqian rubbed her hands and clenched her fists with excitement, she was so ready to fight.
“Don’t kick up a row.” Murong Yun pulled her sleeve.
Luo Qianqian pouted, “I’m made huge progress already, plus I just want to uphold justice. I’m a decent fighter now, ordinary people can’t hurt me.”
Murong Yun was so honeylipped while he still kept a straight face, “My princess, leave things like this to me.”
Luo Qianqian narrowed her eyes and shot a glimpse at Su Liancheng, ‘Is it you who has taught him this?’
Su Liancheng shook his head in denial! ‘Not me! Brother Ninth is self-taught!’
“Young Master, please allow me to show you other… …” with that the busboy slumped down and burst the door open by a kick from that ‘Young Master’.
Seeing the uninvited guests, Su Liancheng broke the silence, “Hah, I was just thinking which jerk is this poor busboy receiving, it’s the Liangs!”
It was Liang Fengqi, Liang Ao and Liang Yu. Their old friends from the Monster Forest.
Liang Fengqi stood in the middle, it was him who just kicked the poor busboy. Liang Yu was standing on Liang Fengqi’s right, she was in a green robe today and looked all dolled up, quite pleasing to the eye.
Liang Ao stood on Liang Fengqi’s left, he looked at the busboy apologetically. Liang Ao raised his head as the door opened, his eyes sparkled when he saw Luo Qianqian.
“Miss, what a nice surprise, I can’t believe I’m meeting you here.” Liang Ao was so grateful for Luo Qianqian and Murong Yun, he considered it fair when Luo Qianqian charged them a large amount of money in the forest, especially after what his brother had done to them.
“Oh, it’s you.” Luo Qianqian didn’t look as near excited as Liang Ao.
Liang Fengqi was so embarrassed that he wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it, he blamed himself for not listening to the busboy. He knew Murong Yun’s capabilities, he didn’t stand a chance of winning.
Liang Fengqi didn’t hear anything back from Luo Qianqian, he hoped Luo Qianqian and her friends had lost their lives in the forest so that he didn’t have to pay his debt. Little did he expect he would run into them in this tavern.
And as a matter of fact, it was himself who insisted on intruding on their room! He had got no one to blame but himself.
Luo Qianqian withdrew the passing token from her sleeve and flashed it at Liang Fengqi, “Where is my money?”
Liang Fengqi frowned and replied, “I’m so… I’m so sorry, I haven’t…”
Hardly had Liang Fengqi’s voice faded away when Liang Ao withdrew a pile of bank notes from his sleeve and counted what they owed Luo Qianqian.
“Miss, here is your money, please have a look. And thank you so much for saving our lives.” Liang Ao handed a pile of bank notes as thick as two inches to Luo Qianqian.
Liang Fengqi and Liang Yu exchanged a look, they both regretted for taking Liang Ao with them and asking him to be in charge of money.
Luo Qianqian signaled to Feng Qing, Feng Qing stepped forward and took the money for Luo Qianqian.
“No need to thank me, I did you a favor and you paid me money, that’s fair exchange. What brings you here today?” Luo Qianqian asked a question that she knew the answer, of course they were here for the auction.
Liang Fengqi came to the auction full of fighting spirit, but now he wished to be somewhere else.
“Not really, Miss.” Liang Fengqi permitted himself a wry smile.
“All right then, you may excuse yourself now.” Luo Qianqian said that with a smile on her face.
Liang Yu’s eyes kept travelling back and forth from Luo Qianqian to Murong Yun, how she wished it was her who was sitting next to Murong Yun.
“Sure, sure, we are leaving right now… …”
Liang Fengqi’s voice came as he shut the door, “Ao, you are such a blockhead. How could you give her such a large amount of money from our inadequate fund?”
“But a deal is a deal, how can we go back on our own word?” Liang Ao sounded so confused.
“The elders are already unhappy about our failure in Monster Forest, we will face more controversy if we lose bid at the auction!”
“Brother, everything will be okay, right?”
Liang Yu chimed in, “Ao, you are too young and inexperienced. With more money in hand, we can have more confidence and more options, you shouldn’t have given her that money… …”
Liang Yu gnashed her teeth when she thought about the betrothal presents Liang Fengqi prepared for her were worth about ten hundred thousand taels, just one third of what Luo Qianqian got from them!
Luo Qianqian didn’t care what they talked behind her back, the only thing mattered now was she had collected the debt and she could make a few bids at the auction!
Liang Fengqi dared not to stop Liang Ao from giving Luo Qianqian the money in the room, because he knew Murong Yun would make he regret about his life choice if he made a move!
