An Siyao's New Friends

Seeing Xia Yu nodding, the five youngsters all wore faces of disbelief, including Jiao Heyu, who had invited Xia Yu to go out.

All of them who could stay in the villa were acquainted with the An family and understood An Siyao's character. Jiao Heyu had invited her out for dinner to enjoy the pleasure of knocking on her bedroom door and talking to her.

He never thought he would succeed!

The five were stunned for a moment before pushing and shoving each other and heading downstairs with Xia Yu.

"How do we get there? Where to go?" One of the girls with a ponytail asked. Her name is Shen Xiaowen, who had also said that Xia Yu would not come.

"I borrowed a car from my uncle. Don't worry, I have a driver's license," a boy took out a key.

"I have a car too. It's perfect," Jiao Heyu also took out a key.

Everyone cheered and squeezed into the car.

This was their first time visiting Fangzhang City. They blindly found a street and parked.

"There's a restaurant over there. Do you want to see if there's any special dishes?" Jiao Heyu turned to Xia Yu, wanting to hear his opinion.

Seeing his expression, Shen Xiaowen snorted unhappily.

She looked around, and before Xia Yu could answer, she grabbed the hands of two other companions and dragged them to a nearby food stall.

"We've had enough of restaurants; let's eat at the food stall!" Shen Xiaowen shouted.

Seeing that their friends had gone to the food stall, Jiao Heyu had no choice but to follow.

As for Xia Yu, he felt a bit regretful. He had eaten at food stalls many times, but rarely at restaurants.

Nevermind, it's already good enough to have a free meal.

Sitting at an empty table, Xia Yu watched them order skewers, beer, and juice.

When the skewers arrived, Shen Xiaowen glanced at Xia Yu and revealed a smile.

A gentle and virtuous lady would definitely find it difficult to eat greasy skewers and not know how to bite them.

Moreover, the skewered meat wasn't that easy to chew.

In order to make Xia Yu look clumsy in front of Jiao Heyu, Shen Xiaowen handed Xia Yu a skewer.

"Thanks." Taking the skewer, Xia Yu skillfully used his teeth to scrape off the meat from the stick, putting it in his mouth.

He removed the juice from in front of him, opened a can of beer, gulped it down, and picked up another skewer.

In a short time, a pile of bamboo sticks accumulated in front of him.

Shen Xiaowen was so astonished that she froze, and the other four were also dumbfounded.

Jiao Heyu's heart, the beautiful imagination of An Siyao as a graceful and elegant girl, began to crack.

"What are you looking at me for? Eat." Following Xia Yu's words, the five of them started eating.

The skewers tasted very good, much better than those in Zi Lun City's food stalls. Xia Yu ate happily, and Jiao Heyu's group enjoyed themselves as well.

After ten plates of skewers, everyone's stomachs were full. They slowed down their eating and began to chat.

Xia Yu listened and helped them with brief summaries:

"My dad recently bought a Lancelot car."

"My mom recently bought a beauty store in District 11."

"My brother recently bought a submarine in District 4."

"My grandpa recently changed to a young and beautiful nanny."

The group was still of school age, bound by their parents, so they could only talk about their family's elders.

The conversation turned to Jiao Heyu, who glanced at Xia Yu and said, "My dad recently acquired a property in Zilang, about this much!"

He held up three fingers.

The five people, including Xia Yu, politely expressed their admiration, but they weren't particularly interested in the topic. They wanted to discuss the matter of changing their nanny.

However, a group of people at the neighboring table showed great interest in the topic.

"My dad recently acquired a property in Zilang, about this much!" A man with a bare arm mocked Jiao Heyu, imitating his voice and posture.

His companions burst into laughter, and their laughter could be heard across the street.

They didn't know Jiao Heyu was telling the truth and thought Xia Yu and the others were just boasting.

In Xia Yu's previous world, due to the rise of social media platforms like Weibo, people knew that the wealthy weren't much different from ordinary people. But in this world, people didn't have this understanding yet.

To the bare-armed man, how could rich people be eating such cheap food?

So they laughed heartily.

Jiao Heyu, who was laughed at, immediately looked sullen.

These children of the wealthy had always been pampered, even when they encountered grievances, it was from wealthier families. Now, these laborers had the qualification to laugh at him?

"What are you laughing at?" Jiao Heyu stood up and shouted at the neighboring table.

The laughter at the neighboring table intensified, and the man with the bare arm stood up and replied, "What, are you allowed to boast, but we're not allowed to laugh?"

Knowing that the situation couldn't be explained easily, Xia Yu tugged at Jiao Heyu's clothes, trying to get him to sit down. However, Jiao Heyu ignored her.

"I wasn't boasting!" Jiao Heyu slammed the table.

The bare-armed man mimicked his gesture, slapping the table as well, "I wasn't boasting! My dad is Wang Yun!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha!"

This time the surrounding customers laughed too, filling the eatery with a joyous atmosphere.

Jiao Heyu had never faced such humiliation before, and his face turned red from anger. He began yelling at the bare-armed man.

This time, it was as if he had stirred a hornet's nest; the group at the neighboring table stood up angrily.

At this point, the group opposite Jiao Heyu only wanted to intimidate him. If he backed down, the situation could still be controlled.

However, Jiao Heyu didn't know how to back down, and the other four people stood up as well when they saw the group opposite them stand up.

Xia Yu reached out to stop them but thought better of it, realizing that intervening could lead to them misunderstanding her intentions.

Not wanting to waste her efforts, Xia Yu decided not to meddle.

These young men needed to learn a lesson the hard way.

Without standing up, Xia Yu continued to eat her skewers.

Jiao Heyu, who was busy arguing with the bare-armed man, didn't notice Xia Yu's actions, but Shen Xiaowen saw everything. She thought that Xia Yu was too scared to stand up.

Just as she was about to mock Xia Yu, a new development occurred in Jiao Heyu's confrontation.

After another exchange of insults about each other's families, the bare-armed man pushed Jiao Heyu down and picked up a wine bottle. His group of brothers also surrounded Xia Yu and her companions.

At this point, Jiao Heyu and the others finally understood fear. In a panic, Jiao Heyu fumbled with his phone, trying to call the police, but his hands trembled and his phone fell under the table.

At this moment, the shirtless man had already raised the bottle in his hand.

A thud sounded.

However, the sound wasn't made by Jiao He and Yu, but the shirtless man instead.

The shirtless man fell to the ground.

Both Jiao He and Yu's group and the people on the opposite side were stunned by this scene, as they looked at Xia Yu who was standing beside the shirtless man.

Xia Yu threw the small stool in his hand onto the ground.

The sound of the stool aroused the group on the opposite side, and they immediately wanted to retaliate, surround him and take revenge. At this moment, Xia Yu pulled Shen Xiaowen to one side and reached into her pocket.

With Shen Xiaowen's face flushed, Xia Yu took out her wallet, and scattered all the money inside on the ground.

"Here's your medical expenses," Xia Yu said.

The money in Shen Xiaowen's wallet, totalling ten thousand yuan, scattered all over the ground, creating a huge visual and psychological impact.

The sight of the money on the ground immediately caused the group's eyes to redden. They could hardly earn a few bucks in a month, working themselves to exhaustion. Now that an opportunity to pick up money was right in front of them, how could they not be tempted?

They weighed their options for two seconds, squatted down, and all started picking up the money from the ground.

Strike while the iron is hot, then give way, then exhaust.

Xia Yu first used intimidation and the sudden attack on the shirtless man to dampen their spirits, and then employed a money strategy to crush their fighting spirit.

By this time, even if Xia Yu and his group were still standing there, the other party wouldn't dare to attack them again.

However, to be safe, Xia Yu pulled Shen Xiaowen and asked them to leave quickly.

To prevent any accidents, he also took out Jiao He and Yu's wallets and scattered the money inside.

After crossing the road, the group relaxed.

Shen Xiaowen patted her chest and hugged Xia Yu's arm: "Yao Yao, you're so amazing!"
