Chapter 776: I Won’t Let You Call Me Brother Zi In Vain
Hou Zi squinted his eyes, glimpses of sword light flashed in the depths of his eyes. He let loose a pressure wave, the whole room felt quite overpowering, “Is that so? Why does it feel like, young lady, you seem to know me? In that case, I’m overthinking things.”
“Sir, you’re overthinking things, I’m only a student, and I haven’t had much contact with the outside world, there’s no way I would know who you are. While Xia Jinyuan2 had never mentioned you to me before.”
Not only did his aura make the whole room feel oppressed, but it also felt chilly inside. The current Hou Zi was completely different from when he had just entered the room, and it wasn’t the Hou Zi who was speaking lazily and who was acting very leisurely anymore; instead, this was Third Master Hou of the streets.
In front of Third Master Hou, Ye Jian1 remained calm and replied without concern, neither her expression nor her eyes contained any hints of fear.
Hou Zi started laughing out loud, “The Xia family’s sixth master has some good eyes, not bad, the young lady isn’t bad at all. I haven’t seen such an interesting young lady like you in ages, and there’s no need to use honorifics like ‘sir’ anymore, you can follow after Xia family’s sixth master’s lead and call me older brother Zi.”
Though she still had her suspicions, since he had mentioned the sixth master of the Xia family, then he’s telling her right now that he doesn’t have any ulterior motives and wants her to feel at ease.
Intelligent, good at reading the room, and has a very rare trait of having her own determined nature, and doesn’t merely claim connections with others.
If she really knew Hou Zi, then she wouldn’t have been this calm. Either she’ll be scared, or she’ll try her best to connect with him, but she did neither, even if he had some questions in his heart, they weren’t worth mentioning anymore.
Ye Jian, whose heartfelt relieved, looked at him and politely said: “Okay then Brother Zi if there’s anything else later, I’ll have to trouble Brother Zi further.”
“All good, since Xia’s sixth master brought you over to my place, then he must’ve already considered this, if there’s anything you need, you can contact me at any time, you can also change a room if you want.” A woman being so straightforward makes people feel much better than when a guy is frank. When the young lady that Xia family’s sixth master has his eyes on was acting so straightforward, he finds her quite pleasant to the eyes.
There aren’t many people who can look pleasant in the eyes of someone who was as lonesome as he was, at his age, his insight about others is only getting keener and much more picky, that’s why fate is a significant factor if someone wants to get on his right side.
Eyeing this little girl today, he already found her pleasant to the eye, so it’s also okay if he treats her like a younger sister.
Because of his words, Ye Jian’s eye light seemed to shimmer; Captain Xia purposely brought her to stay here. It must be because he was worried Ye Zifan would rack up trouble for her.
His consideration of her was so attentive. If Old Granny Ye hadn’t stirred up trouble today, she wouldn’t have known that Captain Xia had considered so much even for a hotel stay.
“I’ve troubled you so much, for that I’m truly grateful. If I really need anything, I think I won’t be courteous, and I would come and bother you.” Ye Jian had no idea how to treat people who live off the streets, but her instincts were telling her that she should be more straightforward, nobody likes someone who keeps their real intentions to themselves.
After all, she was the one who phoned the front desk and asked the hotel to send someone over to resolve her situation.
Hearing that, Hou Zi, whose face was even prettier than a woman’s, started smiling even more. Though the 37-year-old man already had crow’s feet, he was even more charismatic compared to his younger days.
He oozed out an air of superiority and also the elegance of a long-reigning lord. Hou Zi, who was currently in his golden years, was probably the dream husband of many women.
“There’s also no reason for a young lady like you to be courteous to me. In the future, if there’s anything that you need help within Yunnan province, you can go to Kaiser’s Hotel and look for my men or call me. You’ll only have to tell me what you need, and big brother Zi here will help you take care of it. There’s no way I can let you call me ‘Brother Zi’ in vain.”
