Chapter 1018: Chapter 1004: Innocence

Thinking about these things, really keeps a person from acting too impulsively. At this moment, how could the boss dare to make a move? After all, he has a beautiful wife and a child. The child has just learned to call him ‘Dad.’ If he acted on impulse and killed someone, his child would have to start calling someone else ‘Dad,’ which would be the most painful thing.

“Brother, what is it you actually want to do?”

Right now, the boss was speechless, thinking to himself, damn, today’s just been ridiculous! Why is it all so incredibly frustrating? He thought he’d caught a big fish, only for the fish to not only escape, but break his fishing rod. It’s as though it’s dragged him into the water too. This really sucked.

“I’m not doing anything. I’m asking what you want to do. I’m telling you, brother. I’m a gentleman, and gentlemen use words, not fists. Things can be settled peacefully, so why resort to violence? Really, can’t you just tell by looking at me that I’m totally innocent and naive?”

Su Xuan looks harmless to humans and animals alike.

“…”

The boss really wanted to curse, thinking to himself, you call that innocent and naive? You’re worse than anyone. You’ve broken my brother to the point of disability and wrecked my shop. How could you have the nerve to say you’re innocent and naive?

And Li Qingxue was completely overwhelmed by this moment, thinking, oh my gosh, this guy is just a monster. His slick tongue could even talk the dead back to life! No wonder even a beggar would give him money. That’s not a skill everyone has.

From confrontation moments ago, now these two almost feel like having knives is more awkward than not having them. Especially seeing the big guy actually dropping his knife from fright, it was truly awkward.

“Fine, I’ll accept my bad luck, alright? You guys just go!”

The boss gritted his teeth. He had no choice. This guy was just evil meat, and he couldn’t seem to beat him. Trying knives might only cause unexpected trouble, and it was really driving him crazy.

And Li Qingxue, hearing the boss wanted to let them go, felt truly relieved, and quickly pulled Su Xuan to leave. But Su Xuan didn’t seem to intend on leaving, and instead kept standing, saying.

“That’s not acceptable. I’m a reasonable person. Yes, my wife did damage your things, but those weren’t broken by me, so they don’t concern me. Don’t blame me for that. And you let my golden rat run away and broke my golden egg. The price for them, I showed you already. It’s true I broke your brother’s leg, but I’m very reasonable about that. Give me three thousand yuan, that’s my bottom line. I’m a person with principles, less really isn’t acceptable, so either you stab me or I’ll not leave without those three thousand yuan!”

Su Xuan looks truly frustrated, and as soon as he finished speaking, the boss genuinely felt like charging in to give him a couple of stabs.

“You—you’re not a rich kid? How can you be short of those three thousand yuan!”

The boss was about to roar and felt like he might just cough up blood, wondering what kind of oddball he had run into today, someone who could spout nonsense to this extent! He couldn’t out-talk him, and more importantly, couldn’t out-fight him.

“What difference does being a rich kid make? I’m a rich kid, yes, but this is simply money you’re supposed to compensate me with. I’m a person with principles. I’m not making you pay extra. My golden rat really was worth twenty thousand yuan.”

Su Xuan looks like he put in much effort to acquire it.

“Ugh, you—you…” The boss genuinely would cough up blood, almost going insane from anger.

“I’m telling you, really, don’t provoke me anymore. If I genuinely lose my temper, even I’ll be scared!”

The boss shakes his head resembling a Golden-Haired Lion King, and Su Xuan pouts and says.

“Is that so? Then you better kill me, since my wife doesn’t even acknowledge me as her husband, won’t even hold hands with me in public. Is life really worth it? Come on!”

Su Xuan looks like he’s somewhat giving up on life, as if this situation just happens to fulfill his desires.

“Arghhh…”

The guy really collapsed at this moment, with such excitement he ended up cutting his own arm, then taking one thousand yuan out of his wallet and throwing it to Su Xuan, saying.

“That’s all I have, take it or leave it, or you kill me instead!”

The boss genuinely felt like he would go insane; it was so hurtful. Today’s fishing ended with the fish eating him up. After today’s events, he felt that he really shouldn’t go fishing anymore; it was just unlivable.

“Eh, but it’s not enough. How about this, the boss sees these bamboo chairs, they’re fifteen each right? Give me four bamboo chairs, and I’ll count it as two thousand. That’s already very high. You say I’m this nice. Sigh, I really worry my dad will say I’m a squanderer. You don’t know, my dad often says we may have money, but should still appreciate the hard-earned grains on our plate. Spending two thousand on four chairs seems really a little extravagant.”

“Brother, I call you brother, please stop torturing me, alright? I admit I was wrong; I swear I’ll never fish again, okay?”

The boss completely collapsed, sitting on the floor crying, really driven to despair by Su Xuan. Oh my, how could this guy be so shameless? Everyone knows that it was a rat worth not even one yuan, probably caught from a smelly ditch outside, yet somehow conned him for three thousand yuan. This guy is simply the master of the fishing world.

“Eh, fine then, seeing you this distressed, I’ll ask for five chairs, let’s say four hundred each. Sigh, little brother, you tell me, and actually, I mean well. Didn’t expect you to have such integrity. Well, then I’ll take it.”

Su Xuan casually grabbed a few chairs and tossed them out, then found a small cart with wheels, put the chairs on it, and gave two hundred to the boss, saying.

“This small cart maybe was bought for just a hundred. See, I am a good person too. I give you two hundred. Sigh, brother, you say I’m this wasteful, will my dad beat me if he finds out? Anyway, you should return one hundred and I give you fifty. Sigh, giving too much invites divine retribution.”

Su Xuan took back a hundred yuan, shoved a fifty note to the boss, then satisfactorily clapped his hands, tied up the five chairs with a rope, smiled and said.

“Boss, thank you. Oh, and may your business prosper.”

Su Xuan said with a mischievous smile.
