Chapter 814
Losing his wife and losing his troops
Then, recalling Qu Feifan's scolding of the brothers, Xu Bo'an quickly realized that Qu Feifan was probably apologizing because he was worried that they would embarrass themselves in front of him and that their antics would make him feel disrespected.
Xu Bo'an said to Qu Feifan, "Young Master Qu, are you apologizing to me now because of what happened when the brothers were fighting over the yellow crab?"
Qu Feifan said, "Yes, Brother Xu, I'm really sorry, they won't dare to cause any more trouble!"
After hearing Qu Feifan's words, everyone felt that they had gone a bit too far just now. If they offended Xu Bo'an, and he stopped helping them make money, where would they find such a God of Wealth who was willing to help them make money?
Thinking of this, everyone felt a little embarrassed and said to Xu Bo'an in unison, "Brother Xu, we're sorry!"
Seeing everyone's tense expressions, Xu Bo'an laughed and said, "I wasn't angry about what happened earlier! I really don't know what kind of apology you're giving me!"
The group of rich kids, who were initially nervous, were completely bewildered after hearing Xu Bo'an's words. Even Qu Feifan was puzzled!
To confirm whether Xu Bo'an was telling the truth, Qu Feifan hurriedly asked with some doubt, "No, Brother Xu, are you really not angry with the brothers?"
Xu Bo'an said with a smile, "I'm really not angry. On the contrary, I think the young men are all very cute. It's good for everyone to relax when they're together. Look how boring it is to be so lifeless right now!"
Qu Feifan felt less nervous after hearing Xu Bo'an's words, but to confirm whether Xu Bo'an was telling the truth, Qu Feifan asked again, "Brother Xu, you didn't mind what the brothers did just now at all?"
Xu Bo'an smiled and said to Qu Feifan, "Young Master Qu, why do I feel like you're being a bit fussy today?"
Qu Feifan scratched his head and said to Xu Bo'an with a slightly embarrassed tone, "Brother Xu, I'm just afraid of offending you. Aren't you going to include me in your group?"
After listening to Qu Feifan's words, Xu Bo'an smiled and said to him, "You little rascal, you were just playing around and having fun. You didn't do anything heinous, and it didn't escalate to the point of offending me. Why would I get angry over such a small thing? Why wouldn't I play along with you? How could I?"
"Your brother Xu is a man of his word. Since I just said I'd share any money-making opportunities with everyone, I definitely won't go back on my word. From now on, when we're together, we should relax a bit. What's the point of being so tense?"
Qu Feifan was completely relieved after hearing Xu Bo'an's words and confirming that Xu Bo'an was not angry!
The other rich kids in the private room breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Xu Bo'an's words.
While the private room was quiet, the two men who had been fighting over the yellow crab suddenly said to Qu Feifan in unison, "Young Master Qu, since Brother Xu isn't angry anymore, didn't we just get scolded for nothing? Tell me, how are you going to make it up to us?"
Qu Feifan looked at everyone with a strange expression and said, "Hehe, compensation? Then let me tell you a secret, okay? What do you say?"
Upon hearing the word "secret," everyone's curiosity was instantly piqued, and they asked Qu Feifan, "What secret? Does it mean there's another way for us to make money?"
Qu Feifan, with a mysterious air, said to everyone, "Stop asking all these questions! Just tell me if you want to hear them or not!"
After hearing Qu Feifan's question, these rich kids became even more curious about the secret he was talking about, and they all looked at Qu Feifan and nodded vigorously in agreement.
Qu Feifan said, "Since you want to hear it, I'll really tell you!"
"Young Master Qu, stop being so coy and just say it! You're making us really curious!" the rich kids shouted.
After he finished speaking, the rich kids quickly perked up their ears, ready to listen carefully to the secret Qu Feifan was about to tell them.
Qu Feifan looked at everyone and said very seriously, "The secret is that the crabs you just grabbed weren't butter crabs!"
As soon as Qu Feifan finished speaking, those who had been scrambling for the crabs were momentarily stunned. If it really wasn't a butter crab, then all their efforts had been in vain.
Just as everyone else was stunned, the two people who had been fighting over the crabs stared wide-eyed at Qu Feifan and said, "What did you say? You actually said that the crabs we fought over for so long weren't butter crabs?"
Qu Feifan then said in a serious tone, "Yes, except for the crabs on my and Brother Xu's plates, which are butter crabs, the others are not!"
The two men said, "No wonder this expensive butter crab tastes almost the same as the crabs I usually eat. It's not a butter crab at all! Young Master Qu, were you just kidding us? You made us lose face in front of so many people. You're so mean! We'll scratch you to death!"
After they finished speaking, the two men stepped forward and surrounded Qu Feifan. The other rich kids felt that they had also been deceived by Qu Feifan, so they followed closely behind the two men and quickly walked to Qu Feifan's side.
Qu Feifan was surrounded by more than a dozen other rich second-generation kids, and then they reached out and scratched Qu Feifan's waist, armpits and other sensitive areas.
Qu Feifan was tickled by everyone, and his body twisted uncontrollably. He laughed so hard that he was doubled over, like a fish that had just been pulled ashore. His hearty laughter instantly filled the entire private room. Qu Feifan couldn't stop laughing, and even tears welled up in his eyes.
While being tickled, Qu Feifan pleaded with everyone in fits and starts, "Everyone...everyone, please...please spare me, I'm about to laugh myself to death!"
But the rich kids weren't about to let him off so easily. Instead of stopping, they went even further, scratching him with even more fervor.
Qu Feifan's laughter grew louder and louder. Before long, he was tickled by the second-generation disciples until he collapsed to the ground, repeatedly pleading with them, "Ancestors... Ancestors, I... I beg you, please stop... stop, I really can't take it anymore!"
Playing around is fine, but it shouldn't go too far. When everyone saw Qu Feifan slumped on the ground, they felt that the teasing had gone far enough. If they kept scratching him, they might hurt him. So, these rich kids stopped scratching Qu Feifan!
Qu Feifan, who had been slumped on the ground, took a while to stand up. He pointed at the group of rich kids and said, "You bunch of bastards are really ruthless! Just wait and see how I deal with you later!"
Upon hearing Qu Feifan's words, the rich kids reached out to him again, as if to scratch him. Seeing this, Qu Feifan quickly and sensibly said to them, "Brothers, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me!"
One of the rich kids smiled and looked at Qu Feifan, saying, "Young Master Qu, you lied to us earlier, making us look bad in front of Brother Xu. Now we're giving you a chance to redeem yourself. How are you going to compensate us? If you're not satisfied, we'll be scratching you again!" Qu Feifan looked at everyone and said, "Alright, alright, you're all in this together now, so you decide. What are your little schemes? Tell us!"
After hearing Qu Feifan speak, everyone pretended to look at him with sharp eyes and said, "What do you mean by 'we're all in the same boat'? That's a really harsh way to put it. We should call this a united front!"
Another person said, "Yes, we are on the same side!"
"We've finally managed to unite today, so we should take this opportunity to squeeze a lot of money out of you. Here's what we're asking for: you made the most money buying houses with Brother Xu, so give each of us 50,000 yuan so we can have some fun. Also, you should share your yellow oil crab with the rest of the brothers! How about that?" another man said to Qu Feifan.
After hearing what the man said, Qu Feifan said to him, "You bastard, are you trying to take advantage of the situation? There must be at least fourteen or fifteen of you here. If I give each of you fifty thousand, that's close to a million. Why don't you just rob a bank?"
The man chuckled and said, "We're law-abiding citizens; we wouldn't do something like robbing a bank!"
Qu Feifan rolled his eyes at the man and said, "Oh, then go ahead and try to take advantage of me!"
The man said, "Well, who told you to make so much money following Brother Xu? You have to share some with your brothers!"
Qu Feifan said, "Hehe, I did call you when Brother Xu bought the house. You were the one who was too careful not to buy it because you were afraid of wasting your money. That's why you didn't make any money. What does it have to do with me being stupid?"
Upon hearing Qu Feifan's words, the man stammered, "I... I didn't buy those old houses with Brother Xu back then because I didn't know Brother Xu's capabilities! How about I ask everyone if they agree with my suggestion?"
After saying that, he smiled and called out to everyone, "Are you all satisfied with my suggestion?"
Everyone shouted in unison, "Satisfied! Extremely satisfied!"
After expressing their satisfaction, some people continued, "The more the better..."
Qu Feifan looked at everyone and shook his head helplessly, saying, "You guys are really a bunch of vampires, actually asking me for such an exorbitant amount. You're all ungrateful bastards!"
The group looked at Qu Feifan with a smug expression and laughed, saying, "Just tell us if you're going to give it to us or not. If you don't, we're going to start tickling you again!"
Upon hearing this man's words, Qu Feifan immediately backed down and said to everyone in a conciliatory tone, "I can give you the money, but I don't have 50,000. Each person can only give 20,000. Of course, I'll let everyone have my butter crab too!"
After hearing Qu Feifan's words, the man said, "Twenty thousand isn't even enough to fill a tooth gap for us, but let's just leave it at that. Giving us something is better than nothing. Okay, transfer the money to us!"
Qu Feifan rolled his eyes at the rich kids, then took out his phone and transferred 20,000 yuan to each of them.
Soon after, everyone's phones started vibrating, and when they opened them, they saw a message from Qu Feifan that he had transferred 20,000 yuan.
Qu Feifan said to the second-generation scions in the private room, "Is this alright now?"
Those people laughed and said, "Okay! But don't forget to share your butter crab with everyone else!"
Qu Feifan rolled his eyes at them and handed them the butter crab from his plate on the table!
The dozen or so brothers immediately started joking around the delicious butter crab again, making the private room lively and bustling.
Qu Feifan looked at them and shook his head helplessly.
Qu Feifan told them about it after confirming that Xu Bo'an wasn't angry about the brothers' playful fight and after learning that Xu Bo'an liked lively atmospheres.
The purpose was actually to liven up the atmosphere in the private room, and those rich kids weren't stupid; of course they knew that Qu Feifan had such an intention.
After Qu Feifan revealed the truth, these foodies were indeed somewhat dissatisfied with Qu Feifan, but in reality, they were mostly just trying to cooperate with Qu Feifan to please Xu Bo'an.
Seeing these young people playing around, Xu Bo'an instantly felt younger himself, and he really enjoyed the relaxed and joyful atmosphere.
He couldn't help but smile as he looked at the rich kids who were fooling around.
Qu Feifan, who was standing to the side, had been observing Xu Bo'an's expression changes. Seeing Xu Bo'an happy made him very happy as well, and he felt that his efforts had not been in vain.
Before long, those guys had devoured the entire large yellow crab, then stopped fighting and returned to their seats.
At this moment, those guys actually seemed to be enjoying themselves even more, saying to Qu Feifan, "Young Master Qu, your butter crab is absolutely delicious! If it weren't for Brother Xu coming, we wouldn't have had the chance to taste it! We should really thank Brother Xu!"
After he finished speaking, one of the rich kids took the lead and said, "Brother Xu, Young Master Qu is usually very stingy with us brothers. Look, with your visit, we not only got to eat rare yellow butter crab, but we also each received 20,000 silver dollars from him. Remember to come to Jiangzhou Province to visit us often in the future. We brothers warmly welcome you with both hands and feet!"
Qu Feifan said, "You heartless bunch! If I had known you would cheat me like this, I would have used the 20,000 yuan I gave you to buy you butter crabs. Now I've lost everything! I didn't get a single butter crab; you ungrateful wretches ate them all!"
Qu Feifan had just finished peeling the yellow crab for Xu Bo'an and then peeled it for himself when these guys took it all. He didn't get to eat a single bite!
A group of privileged young men said to Qu Feifan, "You have the nerve to say that? Who told you to plan to eat that butter crab all by yourself?" (End of Chapter)
