"What's up?"

Seeing Chu Shiyao's puzzled look, Chu Ge just smiled at her, pulled out a few napkins from the tissue box on the table, and carefully wiped down the table and benches, giving her an answer through his actions.

Although choosing and cleaning the table were such small gestures, they truly warmed Chu Shiyao's heart. She hadn't expected Chu Ge to be so thoughtful.

Obviously, Chu Ge still remembered her love for cleanliness and chose this place to eat to accommodate the economic capabilities of the others.

After Chu Ge discarded the not-very-dirty napkins, Chu Shiyao sat down. She didn't say any words of thanks, just smiled at him and playfully stuck out her tongue, conveying everything without words.

With Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao seated, Wang Tiezhu and the others, after a quiet discussion, also reluctantly walked over.

"Brother Chu, actually... actually, you really don't need to take care of us like this. Thanks to you, we got a raise. Let us treat you to a good meal, okay?"

Wang Tiezhu didn't sit down; he spoke with utmost sincerity, while the other three security guards nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, we have money, really."

"Brother Chu, we know you care about us. Just give us a chance to repay you."

The words from the security guards were genuine, from the bottom of their hearts feeling moved. The more Chu Ge did this, the more indebted they felt to him.

"Enough, all of you sit down. If we dig into the previous incident, I actually owe you thanks. Let's stop going back and forth like this, or you're not treating me like a brother, which won't be fun."

Chu Ge smiled helplessly, pressing Wang Tiezhu's shoulder to make him sit on the other side, and before anyone could say anything further, he called out to the boss, who was staring straight at Chu Shiyao with a stupid grin, "Order!"

Hearing Chu Ge call out, the owner of the food stall immediately approached, and since Chu Ge had spoken up to this point, the other three security guards had no choice but to sit opposite him.

While Chu Ge and the others were ordering, at a nearby table, a couple in their twenties, dressed casually and looking like college students, started muttering to themselves.

"Damn, these people are amusing, talking as if they're so awesome. If they really had money, why eat at a place like this?"

The guy, sporting a buzz cut, looked at Chu Shiyao discreetly, muttering disdainfully, with an obvious tone of jealousy.

"Haha, these country bumpkins just like to brag like this. It makes them look classy, as if they've instantly shed their bumpkin status."

Across from the buzz-cut guy, a girl about the same age looked at Chu Shiyao with envious eyes, her tone even sourer than the guy's.

Even though the couple wasn't deliberately speaking quietly, their voices weren't loud, but every word reached Chu Ge's ears.

Although he heard them, Chu Ge didn't care. He ordered a bunch of skewers, including ribs, chicken necks, beef tendon, edamame, peanuts, and six large mugs of draft beer.

Once the orders were placed, the six of them clinked glasses and took big gulps, cooling off completely, and began chatting and laughing while munching on boiled edamame.

"If I'm not mistaken, you're Brother Dakui, right? You said you wanted to repay Brother Chu earlier? What exactly did you do to feel the need to repay? Can you tell me?"

Li Dakui chuckled sheepishly and shook his head decisively, "No can do, Brother Chu told us not to say. We promised. If you want to know, ask Brother Chu."

Chu Shiyao didn't expect her request to be turned down so flatly, so she looked over at Chu Ge, "Brother Chu? How about telling us?"

"Actually, it's nothing major. Just helped them catch a thief trying to steal from the company."

When it came to lying, Chu Ge was an expert, spinning tales effortlessly, and making them sound quite believable.

However, compared to him, the honesty of Li Dakui sitting across from him and Wang Tiezhu on the other side became evident. Hearing Chu Ge's explanation, their expressions turned a bit unnatural, especially Li Dakui, whose mouth twitched, nearly breaking into laughter.

Chu Shiyao had a keen eye, immediately noticing Li Dakui's odd expression, realizing that Chu Ge wasn't telling the truth.

Despite her curiosity, she knew asking now wouldn't help, planning to wait until they'd drunk sufficiently before trying to get the story out.

After they had eaten some edamame and finished the first round of beer, the items they had ordered started being served one after another.

It must be said that the food at this food stall was quite good, and the chilled draft beer was refreshingly tasty. If Wang Tiezhu and the other security guards were initially a bit restrained, they gradually loosened up during the eating and drinking.

With Chu Shiyao's frequent toasts, calling them brothers and sisters, unknowingly, Chu Ge and the four security guards finished three large mugs of draft beer, and the atmosphere became increasingly lively.

However, just as a few people were beaming, talking happily, the voices of the couple could be heard again from the table not far away.

"Wifey, what do you think that woman does? She looks pretty innocent, so why is she hanging out with this group of drifters?"

"How would I know? But just looking at her, she doesn't seem to be anything good, she might just be out here selling herself, maybe planning for a gang bang tonight, what? Feeling itchy, want to join in?"

Whether the girl thought the words were too harsh or just wanted to show off, she didn't say it in Chinese but chose to say it in English.

Because of Chu Ge's exceptionally keen hearing, he had heard this couple's voices seven or eight times, and this time, the girl's words were really too harsh, he finally grew a bit annoyed, slightly furrowing his eyebrows.

And this time, the couple's voices were obviously louder than before, not only did Chu Ge hear it, but also Wang Tiezhu and the other four security guards, as well as Chu Shiyao.

Although that guy didn't name names, Wang Tiezhu and the others had been given the Byakugan countlessly already, every time they heard similar words, it would touch their sensitive nerves.

Subconsciously, the four security guards and Chu Shiyao all turned back to look at that table.

When the guy met the gaze of the four security guards, he immediately pretended like nothing happened and started eating, while the girl acted provocatively, crossing her legs, holding a skewer of lamb, looking indifferent.

After glancing at the couple a few times, the security guards, although not feeling great, didn't say anything and turned back around.

The four security guards' English level basically extended to barely recognizing the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet, they couldn't understand what the girl just said, but judging from her tone at the time, it surely wasn't anything good.

"Sister Chu, what did that girl just say?"

Hesitating for a moment, Wang Tiezhu still felt somewhat uncomfortable, directing his gaze towards Chu Shiyao, who looked more like an intellectual than Chu Ge.

"I don't know either, but it probably has nothing to do with us, just ignore her, let's eat our own food, come on, Little Brother Tiezhu, have a drink with Sister."

Chu Shiyao really didn't understand, she had passed her CET-4 by buying the answers, her current vocabulary was pitifully low, and coupled with the girl's fast speed, she couldn't catch a single meaning of a word.

Here, Chu Shiyao and Wang Tiezhu took another sip of their drink, while over there, the couple started muttering again.

"Wifey, quiet down a bit, even though they're just some drifters, if you really piss them off and it gets physical, I can't take on all five of them?"

The guy, chewing on his food, whispered, sneaking glances over at Chu Ge's table.

"Look at you, all cowardly, what are you afraid of, did you even understand what I said just now?"

The guy chuckled awkwardly, shaking his head, "No, you know my English level, right?"

"So there you have it, you didn't understand, do you think those drifters can understand? I could stand right in front of them, greeting their ancestors with a smile, and they might even think I'm praising them and thank me."

"Hahaha, wifey, how did you get so clever! Brilliant, absolutely brilliant!"

Hearing his girlfriend say that, the guy's worried expression faded, replaced by a smug grin.

When the couple's laughter reached Chu Ge's table, it made Wang Tiezhu and the others feel awkward, and their good mood was heavily impacted.

Although they tried to act unconcerned, their expressions became somewhat unnatural, and they felt quite upset.

Seeing the faces of the security guards turn a bit ugly, the couple's smug look grew stronger, and the girl continued to mutter in English.

This time, she didn't even bother controlling the volume, clearly aiming to bully the table into not understanding.

When she noticed that many people nearby shifted their attention from Chu Shiyao to her, she was filled with a sense of superiority.

Screw it, so what if she's pretty? She's still associating with a bunch of drifters for drinks and meals? Today, I'll show you what it means that knowledge is power.

Hearing the girl next door escalate her volume and become increasingly unbridled, Wang Tiezhu and the others found it hard to continue eating, and even Chu Shiyao's face showed a hint of anger.

Indeed, they couldn't understand the string of English, but that didn't mean they couldn't tell it wasn't anything good, and it was obviously directed at them.

This is just ridiculous, treating them like they are deaf and mute, bullying them for not understanding, and enjoying it!
