Beverage shop.
“Brother Jinfeng, should it be higher?” Li Qing asked, moving the plaque.
Xiao Jinfeng looked at it and said, “It’s almost done, just about this height. You can come down.”
Li Qing was originally a member of the mercenary team, but his cultivation was broken by a demonic beast. His cultivation fell from the third level of Qi Practice to the second level. After Li Qing returned home, he was ostracized by his brothers at home, and his life was very difficult. Since Xiao Jinfeng recruited Li Qing as an employee who did deliveries, Li Qing’s life had become much more stable.
Tong Li had not been able to find work since his leg was bitten off and fitted with a prosthetic leg. Now he was helping in the shop.
“Deputy Leader.”
Xiao Jinfeng frowned. When Li Qing and Tong Li first arrived, they often used to call him Deputy Leader, and it took him a while to correct it.
Xiao Jinfeng turned around and saw it was Zhang Meng, but he didn’t look well. When Xiao Jinfeng was in the mercenary team, he had a good relationship with Zhang Meng and Zhou Fang. At that time, when he was expelled from the mercenary team, Zhang Meng also tried to speak up for him. However, Hua Yufeng had already held all power at that time, so if Zhang Meng and the others still wanted to stay in the mercenary team, they naturally could not offend Hua Yufeng too much. In the end, they just watched as he was expelled.
Xiao Jinfeng could understand Zhang Meng’s and Zhou Fang’s choice to protect themselves, but it didn’t mean he could accept it.
“Don’t call me Deputy Leader. I am the person who was expelled by the mercenary team so I am no longer the Deputy Leader,” Xiao Jinfeng said coldly.
Hearing Xiao Jinfeng’s words, Zhang Meng and Zhou Fang were embarrassed.
“What can I do for you?” Xiao Jinfeng asked.
“Brother Jinfeng, the mercenary group disbanded,” Zhang Meng said.
“Oh.” Xiao Jinfeng replied faintly.
This guy, Hua Yufeng, had finally broke up the mercenary regiment. Xiao Jinfeng originally thought he would feel like gloating, but found that although it cheered him a little, but his heart was completely empty.
Thinking of the bad things that happened in the mercenary group, Xiao Jinfeng really didn’t want to talk about it, so he turned around and left, “I still have things to do, so excuse me.”
“Brother Jinfeng, I’m sorry.” Zhang Meng said.
Xiao Jinfeng sighed and walked into the shop.
Li Qing looked at Zhang Meng and didn’t know what to say.
“How did the mercenary team disband?” Li Qing asked.
Zhang Meng was stunned for a moment before he replied, “The mercenary team took on several high-risk missions in a row, losing more and more personnel, then it was disbanded.”
“Oh, I see.” Li Qing sighed and didn’t know what to say.
“Jinfeng is doing well now,” Zhang Meng said.
Li Qing nodded and said, “That’s right.”
The business of the beverage shop was getting better every day and there were even some merchants who bought drinks in large quantities from them for reselling. When Xiao Jinfeng was out now, everyone had to shout “Boss Xiao”, so his life was much more comfortable than when he was in the mercenary team.
“How is Hua Yufeng?” Li Qing asked.
“Seriously injured. It seems that even if he is healed, he will be at most at the second level of Qi Practice. That’s why the mercenary group was disbanded,” Zhang Meng said.
Li Qing didn’t know what to say, knowing that the mercenary group had expelled Xiao Jinfeng, Li Qing was very angry. Li Qing knew that Hua Yufeng and Xiao Jinfeng didn’t get along well. However, he didn’t expect that Hua Yufeng would take it so far, and the mercenary group would fall so much that they would poison Xiao Jinfeng for benefits promised by the Zhou family.
At this moment, hearing that Hua Yufeng was seriously injured, Li Qing felt that Hua Yufeng had brought this upon himself.
“In the cycle of heavenly justice, retribution will always be unpleasant.” Li Qing shook his head.
“How are you doing here?” Zhang Meng asked.
“Pretty good.” Li Qing said.
Although Xiao Jinfeng was nice to the few mercenaries he worked with before, he was not as friendly as before. Although they had already left the mercenary team when the incident happened, they were after all once considered mercenaries. So it was already good that Xiao Jinfeng was willing to put aside his prejudices and appoint them.
Li Qing and Zhang Meng talked for a while and then left.
Zhang Meng looked at the direction of the shop with a sigh and turned around to leave.
……
After returning to Xiao family house, Sun Miaomiao began to start smashing things.
“Miss, calm down, this is the Xiao family. If you do this, your husband will not be happy.” The maid said in a panic.
Sun Miaomiao’s eyes turned red and she gritted her teeth as she said, “If he is not happy, let him be.”
Sun Miaomiao’s heart was full of grievances. When she married Xiao Muhong, she hoped he would stand out. But as a result, their house was under control everywhere, and the servants of the family were also swayed. Many people secretly said that her abandoning Xiao Jingting and choosing Xiao Muhong was like picking sesame seeds over watermelon.
When Xiao Linfeng first returned, Sun Miaomiao still felt like she had made the right choice. Xiao Muhong had potential, but that Xiao Jingting was nothing but born in a rich family, who was just relying on his parents’ influence to get favors.
However, now her life was getting worse and worse, while Xiao Jingting was living a good life, which made Sun Miaomiao feel a little shaken.
Wang Lu hated her very much, and sneered at her now and then. Xiao Muhong was afraid of Wang Lu, so he didn’t dare to defend her.
When she was still in the Sun family, she was a young lady, so she had never been treated lightly like this.
Sun Miaomiao used to think that Xiao Muhong was a good person, but now she thought he was nothing more than a wimp.
What kind of thing was Xu Muan! He was born in a humble family and was also a Ger. She didn’t know what kind of wrong medicine Xiao Jingting had eaten to care about such a person and even spend ten thousand taels of silver for a storage bracelet for Xu Muan. He was not worth it when even she was still using a storage bag.
Sun Miaomiao clenched her fist. She said those words on impulse today, but Xiao Jingting, that guy, dared to refute her on her face.
Earlier, when she pointed to the East, Xiao Jingting would not say West, and when she said South, Xiao Jingting would not say North.
Sun Miaomiao blushed, her heart full of grievances.
