Chapter 493: The Reincarnated Hua Tuo Kick!
(TL note: Hua Tuo was one of the most famous doctors in Chinese history)
Auntie Lan never thought that one day she would be given an opportunity to be accepted into the Ye Family as Old Commander Ye’s goddaughter!
It was a huge blessing, and all of this was given to her by Xu Cheng. At this moment, Auntie Lan felt incredibly excited and satisfied; she really wouldn’t dare to expect or ask for anything more. Even if she wouldn’t be living in the Ye Mansion from now on, this identity was already more than enough!
Ye Ting!
Elder Ye’s goddaughter!
And Minister Ye’s wife called her “Sister Lan!”
That was already enough!
After she had gone through the formalities, Xu Cheng smiled at Auntie Lan and said, “Auntie, now you are formally my aunt.”
Auntie Lan didn’t know how she should thank Xu Cheng.
“Young Master…”
Xu Cheng stood up, grabbed Ye Xiu, and said, “Alright, you guys chat, I’m going out with Little Xiu first.”
The two of them walked out of the courtyard, and outside, the third-gen eldest sons of the Zhou, Nie, Guo, and Xing families were in their supercars and had been waiting outside for god knows how long.
Seeing Xu Cheng and Ye Xiu coming out, Zhou Xiaoming let out a big breath. “Heyo, we finally waited until you came out, Big Brother Cheng!”
Seeing those four, Xu Cheng smiled. “Not convinced and still want to fight me?”
Guo Rong waved his hand and admitted defeat. “Not at all. After you landed that kick on Elder Ye and KO’ed him in one move, I doubt anyone in Yanjing would dare to fight you. You are the first one to kick the tiger’s azz!”
Nie Wenbo nodded. “Yeah, I don’t want to be your opponent and am just here to make friends. Big Brother Cheng, please forgive us for how we behaved before and give us a chance. We will take you out for food at any place in Yanjing, you can just pick one.”
Xu Cheng knew that these four were probably doing this under the instruction of their parents, so he should at least respect their parents when considering to take or reject their offer.
Xu Cheng obviously knew what those second-gen members of those four families were planning. They naturally wanted their elders to live for as long as possible. Even if the elders don’t say anything, the kids and grandkids would obviously try to get this chance for their grandparents.
Besides, these four families all raised kids with strict moral standards, so Xu Cheng didn’t feel that getting to know these guys would be a bad thing.
Xu Cheng looked at Ye Xiu and said, “What do you think I should do?”
“Since they’ve been waiting here ever since you saved my grandpa, let’s just go,” Ye Xiu said.
Xu Cheng nodded, and then he said to Zhou Xiaoming and the others, “You guys can pick a place then, I want the best and most expensive place.”
Zhou Xiaoming and the others all smiled and patted their wallets. “Don’t worry, we are already prepared to empty our bank account for this meal.”
The six of them went to the restaurant in five cars.
Xu Cheng sat in Ye Xiu’s Land Rover, and the other four guys all had their supercars or luxury sedans.
– Yanjing Restaurant –
For a restaurant that could use the city in its name, it naturally had its unique confidence and heritage.
There were eight floors in total, and each floor symbolized a class in society
The first two floors were open for general citizens. The prices weren’t too high, the average cost per person per meal was about five to six hundred yuan (about $100), as long as you didn’t order the super expensive dishes
For each floor going up, the bottom limit for spending per person also went up, and Zhou Xiaoming and the others took Xu Cheng directly to the highest floor – the eighth floor.
The food here was all carefully picked delicate and luxurious dishes, and those that chose to dine on the eighth floor were mainly in the top 1% of society, or government officials welcoming high-level guests. Of course, mostly, it was the rich people that came here often, and each meal could easily go up to a couple dozen thousand yuan (a couple of thousand dollars), and that didn’t include those expensive drinks.
The waiter saw the car keys and the way the five young masters were dressed and knew right away that they probably came from big backgrounds. Thus, they were very friendly and professional.
Ye Xiu passed the menu to Xu Cheng since he was the main character today.
Xu Cheng hadn’t really had anything expensive to eat in a long time. Even after he got filthy rich, he didn’t really have the time to enjoy the food that the wealthiest 1% enjoyed. Since he was here today, he definitely wouldn’t be holding back. He ordered eight of the signature dishes here for the six of them.
Zhou Xiaoming ordered two bottles of Lafite that were worth tens of thousands of yuan.
“Oh sh-t, I forgot to bring over the alcohol the old man had at home. Those are the real deals,” Xu Cheng said a bit regrettably. Rather than red wine, he preferred hard liquor more.
“I brought it,” Nie Wenbo laughed and said. Then, he took out a bottle of special-supply Maotai Baijiu (TL notes: ones that were only made for high-level government officials), and he grinned towards Xu Cheng, “You see my sincerity now? Is this enough?”
Xu Cheng smiled. “Yeah, enough.”
“Holy crap, Old Nie, your old man back at home is helping you out to this degree?” Zhou Xiaoming couldn’t help but exclaim.
At this time, the waiter interrupted them, “My apologies, Sir, here we don’t allow outside drinks.”
Nie Wenbo put the bottle onto the table and said, annoyed, “Do you have this liquor here? If you do, give me three bottles and I will put this away. If you don’t then just stop bothering us, we only enjoy hard liquor like this.”
“Then I will go and check for you, Sir,” the waiter said and actually turned around and went to ask the manager.
“Idiot,” Nie Wenbo murmured.
Not long after, seeing that they opened the drink, the manager and waiter walked over, and the manager said, “I’m sorry, gentlemen, we really can’t allow outside drinks in here… We also have hard liquor here, how about I recommend some to yo-”
But before he could finish, he saw the special supply label on the baijiu and his face slightly changed. Then, putting on a grin, he said, “No worries, never mind. Enjoy your meal, let us know if you need anything else!”
Then, he dragged the waiter away and left.
Nie Wenbo first filled Xu Cheng’s cup, and then everyone else. Then, they all raised their cup and solemnly toasted to Xu Cheng, “About the previous incident that troubled you, Big Brother Cheng, please forgive us. We are all the same big family now, so in the future, we will all look after each other. Here in Yanjing, Big Brother Cheng, just say the word if you ever need anything, and we will all do everything we can. You are also our grandpa’s grandson now; then following the rules, you are older than us, we will all call you Big Brother Cheng from now on.”
Zhou Xiaoming nodded and said, “Just like you said last time, Big Brother Cheng, we will drink this cup and leave the old conflicts in the past, what do you say?”
Xu Cheng smacked his lips and didn’t refuse it or act like a big shot. “Alright, cheers.”
The other four were delighted to see how quick Xu Cheng agreed to bury the hatchet, so they all laughed. “Cheers!”
The six of them clicked their glasses in the middle and then drank it all in one go.
Wiping his mouth, Ye Xiu grinned and said, “This time you guys aren’t going to separate from the club, right?”
The other four shook their heads. “We are 100% convinced by Big Brother Cheng’s capabilities. Last time, we just couldn’t swallow our pride, that’s all. But up until two days ago, that kick from Big Brother Cheng, that made us 200% convinced and shoved our pride right down our throat.”
Guo Rong nodded and echoed. “Yeah, Big Brother Cheng, that kick of yours immediately kicked the sanity back into Elder Ye. You don’t even know, now everyone that witnessed that fight had been calling it the Mighty Kick of the Reincarnated Hua Tuo!”
(TL note: Hua Tuo was one of the most famous doctors in Chinese history)
Zhou Xiaoming: “Yeah, you also don’t know man, there were so many single ladies at the scene that day that fell for you because of that handsome kick. My two little sisters both told me to ask you if you have time to have a meal with them.”
Pshh
Xu Cheng didn’t fully swallow that baijiu yet and now completely spouted it out.
