Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 439 Should we bring He Yuzhu along?
Although Ximen Lang had long anticipated that he would be present at the meal regardless of who was missing, the way he was invited was still quite unexpected, leaving him with a mix of emotions.

It's impossible not to feel moved!

After all, the person who said these words was Jia Zhangshi, the one in the group who truly knew how to make trouble even when she was unreasonable, who would throw tantrums and curse people's ancestral graves until they were smoking, so much so that Ximen Lang was still somewhat afraid of her from the bottom of his heart!

But now she's become like this.
What does it look like?

Even someone as strict as Ximen Lang, with such a large psychological shadow, born with prejudice and judging others by his own standards, had to admit that this Jia Zhangshi in front of him was really quite good.

But it is.
"I didn't even bring a piece of fruit. How can I possibly ask you to come here empty-handed for a meal?"

"Who? You? How can someone as shameless as you be embarrassed?"

"Look at what you're saying! Everyone in the neighborhood knows I'm the most shy person. If a girl on the street just glances at me, I'll blush for ages! Look, I even blush over this, yet I come empty-handed and expect such a nice meal. How can I possibly accept this?"

After rambling on and on, not only were Jia Zhangshi and the others bewildered, but even Bai Ling was completely confused by Ximen Lang's nonsensical and rambling talk.

I wish I could grab a knife right now and hack this shameless guy to pieces, so he could keep embarrassing me every day!
Just as Bai Ling was hesitating about whether to kill this bastard or at least keep her distance from him to avoid being implicated, Jia Zhangshi made her move.

"Fine, so you're shy, huh? You blush just looking at a young lady? Alright, Ling'er, come with me, let's go eat. Let's see how long he can keep up this nonsense!"

And then, sure enough.

Just as Madam Jia Zhang pulled Bai Ling, who was thinking the same thing, away, Ximen Lang immediately started speaking human language.

"Of course, the situations I mentioned above are all for complete strangers. For neighbors like us who are as close as we can be, there's no need for such formalities! There's no need to invite anyone or anything! We're all neighbors, so why bother with all that stuff? That would be too formal."

Having said that, almost immediately.

She was afraid that Ximen Lang's words might fall to the ground, and that he would feel awkward if there was an awkward silence.

Seriously! Yi Zhonghai, who wished he could worship Ximen Lang like an ancestor, immediately started to build ladders and offer him ways out.

"Brother Lang is right. It's always better to keep a distance from outsiders. But since everyone here is family, there's no need for such formalities."

Good heavens, he practically treated Ximen Lang's words as gospel, repeating them verbatim in a sycophantic manner that Bai Ling and Jia Zhangshi found unbearable to watch.

However, considering Yi Zhonghai's well-known demand...
Fine, let him fawn over Ximen Lang if he wants to.

I sighed silently to myself.

"Whatever, let him be."

Thinking this, Bai Ling and Jia Zhangshi, no longer wanting to deal with those two, turned around and went back into the house.

Ximen Lang and Yi Zhonghai followed closely behind, deferring to each other, and entered the house together.

Then, before Ximen Lang could even properly explore the Jia Zhang family's house and satisfy his curiosity, he was still too busy to do so.

Upon seeing Ximen Lang, a rising star, Yi Zhonghai's wife, Wang Guifang, couldn't hold back her tears.

Before she came, Yi Zhonghai specifically told her to control her emotions. Even if she ran into Ximen Lang, she shouldn't get too excited, or it would seem like she was morally blackmailing him and make him uncomfortable.

But she just couldn't help it.

The thought that their lifelong dream was finally about to be fulfilled by Ximen Lang made them realize their dream of having a child of their own.

I couldn't control it at all; my tear ducts just burst open, and tears streamed down my face.

Overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude, he even instinctively bent his knees, tears streaming down his face, and was about to kneel before Ximen Lang. Good heavens, what a mess this has become.

Startled, Ximen Lang quickly stopped her, managing to prevent her from actually kneeling down.

Then, this was the first time they had managed to grab him.

Infected by his wife, Yi Zhonghai's eyes also turned red.

She was explaining while crying.

This made Ximen Lang very upset.

However, since the two were genuinely emotional, this state could not possibly be faked or acted.

In addition, Yi Zhonghai kept explaining himself to himself, and he couldn't help it, he really couldn't help it.

So, there was some awkwardness, but to say that I was extremely disgusted by it wouldn't be that bad.

Fortunately, everyone who was supposed to be here today is here.

Since there's no time like the present, Ximen Lang decided to directly explain things to Yi Zhonghai and Wang Guifang.

That is.
"Thanks are unnecessary. Although I put in a lot of effort, I didn't do this just for you. The point is, I wasn't the one treating you, and I don't know anything about medicine."

"So, there's really no need. If you really want to express your gratitude, just send them a banner after the new hospital is completed and the doctors have cured you."

After saying that, seeing that Yi Zhonghai and his wife still wanted to express their gratitude and were still hesitating about the matter, she realized that they were still struggling with the issue.

He decisively dropped a sentence.

"I'm going to get angry if you keep doing this."

She decisively stopped Yi Zhonghai and his wife from having any unnecessary enthusiasm, and dared not continue to pester Ximen Lang with those useless things, or even try to tarnish his noble character by talking about material things, which Ximen Lang despised the most.

The matter was dismissed in just a few words.

Then, Ximen Lang, who said it was just a three-minute fad and it really was just a three-minute fad, decisively threw the whole jar of sugar pills to Yi Zhonghai.

After explaining all the precautions to Yi Zhonghai, Ximen Lang immediately became the hands-off manager he always preferred.

Then, they ate and drank non-stop.

After half a month, Ximen Lang finally got to taste He Yuzhu's cooking again and immediately gave He Yuzhu's culinary skills high praise.

"Zhu Zi, it's been a few days, and your cooking skills have improved! You've gotten even better at controlling the heat of the twice-cooked pork. Not bad, really not bad!"

And immediately received a reply from He Yuzhu that made him practically beckon to the sky.

"Of course! I haven't done anything else lately but have been honing my skills. There have been banquets every day. With so many dishes to cook, my skills have naturally improved. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do justice to all these customers who come specifically to invite me!"

Goodness, just to show off, he's even blurting out things like taking on freelance work.

Everyone was speechless.

Then, seeing how good He Yuzhu's skills were, Ximen Lang immediately had an idea.
