Chapter 25: Be Careful, Not Respectful

On this weekend, Bai Ruotong deliberately did not go to work in the company. After breakfast, she urged Li Jiangnan to set off and visit Li Jiangnan's mother.

Bai Ruotong was so moved by this attitude.

After three years of marriage, Bai Ruotong rarely takes this initiative, which shows that her attitude towards Li Jiangnan has gradually changed.

At around 9 o'clock in the morning, the BMW arrived at the Chengzhong Village in the old city of Jiangzhou City.

Li Jiangnan's mother usually rents a storefront house in an old alley.

With the layout of two bedrooms and one living room, Ye Qinglai used this small storefront to set up a tea stall.

Usually, she would sell some handmade lei tea, braised vegetables, tobacco, wine and betel nuts and other foods to earn a meager income and maintain her life.

In fact, Ye Qinglai was a lonely woman without a husband. Many years ago, she fell in love with Li Jiangnan's father and became pregnant. But at the critical moment of getting married, Li Jiangnan's father could not withstand the pressure of the family and eventually married other women.

From this perspective, Li Jiangnan is actually an illegitimate child.

Ye Qinglai raised Li Jiangnan alone under huge public pressure and worked hard to raise Li Jiangnan. Li Jiangnan's feelings for his mother were deeper than the sea.

The two of them came to this old alley with big bags. Before they could enter the house, they were noticed by several customers who were drinking tea in the small shop.

The main reason is that Bai Ruotong is too beautiful, has a good figure and good temperament, and wears very well. Just like a super female model on TV, there are rarely such beautiful girls in the old alley.

Li Jiangnan next to Bai Ruotong seemed too ordinary. When several customers looked at him, they were full of envy and curiosity. They didn't understand how such a beautiful beauty could get mixed with a beast.

"Mom, I'm here to see you..." Seeing that my mother was busy there, Li Jiangnan put down his big bags and hurried up to help.

He took the tea bowl from his mother's hand and helped his mother pour tea for customers.

Ye Qinglai smiled kindly and said, "I'm so busy. You sit down and rest. I'll pour you a cup of tea..."

"Mom, I'll come to see you too."

Bai Ruotong followed him in from outside, smiled and handed a box of gifts with both hands, "This is a gift for you to replenish your body."

Ye Qinglai was slightly surprised, "Ruotong, why are you here too?"

"This old alley is dirty and messy. You shouldn't come to me..."

As she said that, she quickly pulled a chair away, wiped it with a rag, and then asked Bai Ruotong to sit down with pain.

In Ye Qinglai's heart, a girl like Bai Ruotong is like a fairy in the sky, extremely noble. She actually felt wronged by having such a daughter-in-law at home.

"Mom, if you have time today, I will come with Jiangnan to see you."

Bai Ruotong stood up with a sweet smile, "It looks like business is good, mom, I'll help you."

Bai Ruotong put on a mask as she said that, and indeed stood at the counter and greeted the guests with a smile.

Ye Qing couldn't see it anymore, so he hurried over to greet her, "Ruotong, how can you do such a rough job? You'd better sit down and rest. It's enough with me..."

"Mom, I can do it. You are an elder, so you should go and rest..." After a while, Ye Qinglai was invited out of the counter by Bai Ruotong.

"Ruotong, you are such a good girl..."

Ye Qing said, and complained to Li Jiangnan again, "Why didn't you make it clear on the phone? If I had known Ruotong would have come too, I shouldn't have done business today, and I would have made food and waited for her to come."

"I don't know what you think if you bring Ruotong to such a place..."

Ye Qinglai was still as kind as ever.

Li Jiangnan smiled bitterly and said, "Mom, I came to see you today, it was Ruotong who proposed it."

Bai Ruotong smiled, "I am my daughter-in-law, of course I have to go home to see my mother-in-law often, mom, don't think about it anymore..."

After hearing this, Ye Qing was happy and restrained, and didn't know what to say.

Maybe it was because Bai Ruotong, the beautiful woman, was so attractive that more and more customers came here at this time.

The three of them could no longer chat. Bai Ruotong greeted the guests, Li Jiangnan did things, and Ye Qing came to collect the money. The three of them worked together and each got busy with each other.

With the help of the beautiful Bai Ruotong, today there are several times more customers than usual, almost endless.

Seeing this scene, Li Jiangnan felt warm in his heart. This was the life he wanted and a life worthy of his life to protect.

It’s just a pity that he has not yet entered Bai Ruotong’s heart.

"Look, Brother Ermao is here to collect protection fees."

At this moment, a shout suddenly rang out outside, and the voice was filled with tension.

Hearing this sound, the whole old alley seemed to be quiet, and some shops and merchants even secretly bought stalls and wanted to close the door.

Li Jiangnan looked at the other end of the old alley, and several young men who were careless came over.

He is domineering and has nostrils facing the sky.

The leader Ermao brother held a cigarette in his mouth and swaggered, leading several people along the way.

Every time I pass by a shop, there is a betel nut chewing follower who arrogantly asks the boss for money.

Li Jiangnan recognized it at a glance. The follower who asked for money was named Qi Yang, who was a classmate from high school.

Li Jiangnan would not be surprised. Qi Yang used to be a scumbag, specializing in fighting and causing trouble. He even beat teachers and bullied Li Jiangnan a lot.

When the shop owners saw Ermao and the others coming to ask for money, most of them were very scared and obediently paid the money.

If the business is bad, if the business is good, if the business is good, it will even give more.

These gangsters don’t have to do anything. Just take a walk around this old alley and you can easily get tens of thousands of dollars.

Of course, there are also people who don’t want to give it to you. Next to Li Jiangnan, a boss selling daily necessities argued with Ermao for a few words, but was beaten down by Qi Yang and the others, and the store was smashed in a mess.

It was only when the boss’s wife said all the good things to send the money, they were willing to give up.

"Dare you dare to challenge our Leishan community and know how to write the word "death"?"

Qi Yang yelled fiercely, and pinched the beautiful boss's body.

Arrogant and domineering, the bystanders dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

Bai Ruotong frowned slightly and said, "It's too much, it's lawless."

Li Jiangnan said coldly: "A bunch of scumbags."

Brother Ermao, who was leading the way, seemed to hear Li Jiangnan's voice. When he saw Li Jiangnan's cold eyes, he felt that his authority had been challenged, so he took people over.

He pointed to the tip of Li Jiangnan's nose and stared at him, "What did you mutter just now? Is there a way to say it again?"

"Believe it or not, I cut your tongue!"

Ye Qinglai was afraid of causing trouble, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said kind words: "Don't get me wrong, he didn't say anything just now. I, I'll pay the money right away."

"Hmph, I'm immortal, you're aware of it."

Ermao said arrogantly: "Just because of this guy just now, I'm upset. This month's price increase will be charged 1,000 for you."

Several gangsters pointed at Ye Qing and scolded: "I'm old, pay the money quickly, don't be quarrel!"

Qi Yang laughed and walked up, "Brother Ermao, I met an acquaintance."

"This kid was my high school classmate just now."

Qi Yang looked at Li Jiangnan jokingly and said, "He is a waste. I used to be pressed to the ground and rubbed."

"It's better to give me some face and charge two thousand."

A sarcastic face, sneering and contempt.

"Haha, it's your classmate? Then I'll give you face and take two thousand in his family!" Ermao and a group of gangsters all laughed and were proud and arrogant.

Bai Ruotong was angry and stared at them coldly.

Ye Qinglai didn't want to cause trouble, he wanted to say good things.

"I'll pay for this money." Li Jiangnan blocked his mother first, took out a check, and handed it to Ermao: "A little bit of heart is not respectful."

"Hehe, this kid is quite sensible!"

"Not only can you speak, but you can pay for it, but you can pay it back. I'm very fashionable. I've got a check!"

"Haha, Qi Yang, your old classmate is more filial than a turtle grandson..."

Ermao took the check and looked at it, laughing and suddenly became dull.
