120 Turning Point

“You still want to run? Let’s see where you can run today!”

In a small alley, a few thugs surrounded a middle-aged man who looked disheveled.

The middle-aged man originally wanted to escape, but how could he, who had a big belly, be a match for a few young burly men? Not long after, he was blocked at a dead end.

The middle-aged man curled up and hugged his head tightly as he was kicked and punched repeatedly.

“Please let me go… I really don’t have money… I can’t pay it back…”

“Why wouldn’t I repay my debt?”

“I didn’t borrow it. You’ve got the wrong person…”

“We found the wrong person? Your handprint is on it! Do you think we’re blind?”

Another round of punches and kicks ensued.

When Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou passed by the alley, they reflexively looked in.

Su Ergou exclaimed, “Sister, that person’s voice sounds a little familiar… Could it be Physician Fu?”

The middle-aged man was familiar. The first person he thought of was Physician Fu.

When one of the thugs saw the siblings, he reprimanded them loudly, “What are you looking at? If you continue looking, I’ll beat you up too!”

“Damn you!” Little Bully Su was angered. Coincidentally, he finished the last bite of the pancake, crumpled the bamboo leaf, and threw it at that person without any hesitation!

The man’s face was hit.

It didn’t hurt, but it was a slap in the face!

The two sides started fighting.

The Su family had never been afraid of fighting.

These three were just small fries in the casino. Su Xiaoxiao didn’t even do anything. Su Ergou soloed and took care of the entire scene.

The three of them ran away cursing!

Su Ergou felt that something was wrong. When he helped the person up, he finally realized what was wrong.

He curled his lips in disdain. “Eh, why is it you?”

Manager Sun also widened his mouth in shock. “Little… Little Brother Su? Miss Su?”

He never expected that the people who saved him were his former opponents—Su Xiaoxiao and Su Ergou.

Back then, he was so glorious that he did not even look at the siblings. But now, he was hiding from debts everywhere and his past glory was gone. How tragic was that?

Su Ergou asked, “Sun, how did you end up like this?”

Manager Sun leaned against the wall and sat down. He sighed. “Sigh, don’t mention it.”

Su Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and looked down at him. “Just mention it. After all, we saved you. Let us laugh at you.”

Manager Sun wanted to ask the siblings if it felt really good to stab him in the back like this. However, after hiding for many days, he did have a stomach full of words to say.

He leaned against the cold wall behind him and looked up at the gray sky. “Did you notice that the shopkeeper of Jin Ji has changed?”

Su Ergou said, “Yes, that new guy is even more shameless than you!”

For some reason, Manager Sun felt that he was being insulted,

Manager Sun composed himself and continued, “All these years, for Jin Ji, I’ve been doing all I can in the wind and rain. Every day, I worked hard. If Jin Ji can become big, I, Sun Quan, dare to say that I deserve credit!”

“Pfft!” Su Xiaoxiao laughed.

Was this guy actually called Sun Quan? She could imagine Liu Bei warping to the scene to beat him to death!

Manager Sun looked at Su Xiaoxiao with hurt. “You’re still laughing?”

Su Xiaoxiao said righteously, “Of course, I’ll laugh.”

Manager Sun wondered what kind of siblings they were.

To summarize Manager Sun’s experience, he had dedicated half his life to Jin Ji and treated Jin Ji as his child. Who would have thought that he would be destroyed by Jin Ji in the end?

“That He guy is a relative of the boss,” he said.

Su Xiaoxiao came to a realization. “No wonder he’s so arrogant.”

Manager Sun had revealed his background. His sad fate was completely exposed to the siblings.

Anyway, there was no dignity left. So be it.

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “What about you being chased for a debt?”

It was fine if he didn’t mention this, but once he did, Manager Sun’s expression turned even uglier.

This was the real moment that made men lose face.

Su Xiaoxiao looked at his pained expression and guessed blindly, “Could it be that your concubine ran away with someone else, took away your savings, and left you a lot of debt?”

Su Ergou placed his hands on his hips and laughed. “Haha! Sister! How can there be such a stupid and unlucky man in the world?”

Manager Sun fell silent.

Su Ergou stopped laughing. “Ah, there really is…”

Su Xiaoxiao patted Manager Sun’s shoulder sympathetically.

In the next second, the siblings burst out laughing.

…

After the siblings finished laughing, Manager Sun was numb.

But what could he say?

Wasn’t it all his doing?

Su Xiaoxiao touched her stomach. “Phew, I’ve probably lost two pounds here.”

This was the legendary concept of training abs through laughter!

Manager Sun said, “Your business is getting bigger and bigger. When I passed by Jin Ji that day, I saw more people queuing up in front of your stall than at the entrance of Jin Ji.”

Su Xiaoxiao said proudly, “Yes, are you envious?”

Manager Sun sighed. “I underestimated you. Girl, you’re not an ordinary person.”

Su Xiaoxiao said shamelessly, “There are many people who look down on me. You’re not the only one. I don’t care about a few loose words.”

This was the first time Manager Sun had seen someone so thick-skinned.

“Are you still supplying Jin Ji?” he asked.

“No.” Su Xiaoxiao said, “That He guy is inhumane. He wanted to chase us away and even sent people to ambush us on the way.”

Su Ergou showed off his small biceps. “In the end, we beat him up!”

“You girl, you’re stubborn.” Manager Sun thought of something and suddenly smiled happily. “Then Jin Ji is finished.”

Su Xiaoxiao sighed. “What’s done? It’s just an egg yolk pastry. It’s still good if they don’t sell it.”

Manager Sun smiled and said, “You don’t know, right? Tomorrow is Minister Qi’s birthday banquet. Back then, I spent a lot of effort and connections to send the snacks to the Qi family. After Old Madam Qi tried them, she took a fancy to the wife cake and egg yolk pastry, especially the egg yolk pastry. Old Madam Qi said that this snack can’t be missing at the banquet. Now that you’re not supplying Jin Ji, they can’t make their egg yolk pastry. If they mess up the Qi family’s birthday banquet, they will suffer a huge setback!”

Hearing this, not only did Su Xiaoxiao not gloat, she fell silent.

“How many egg yolk pastries does the Qi family want for their birthday banquet?” she asked.

Manager Sun said, “A hundred.”

Su Xiaoxiao frowned. “It’s her!”

“What’s wrong?” Manager Sun was stunned by Su Xiaoxiao’s sudden reaction.

Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s been too calm these two days. Jin Ji didn’t find trouble with us but a woman came to buy a hundred salted duck eggs.”

These few sentences seemed to be unrelated, but how smart was Manager Sun?

He immediately understood what was going on!

His expression changed drastically. “He sent her! He bought your ingredients!”

“Ah? That woman didn’t buy it for her son? Was she running an errand for He?” Su Ergou was furious! He was too detestable!

Su Xiaoxiao frowned, but soon, her brows relaxed.

Her lips curved into a smile. “You sealed the deal before the New Year, right?”
