Hong Kong variety show: My Boss, Thirteen Sister

What comes into view is a dense cluster of houses, the ditch along the alleyway still stinks, garbage is thrown everywhere, and there are clothes racks strung with wire everywhere, covered with worn-out T-shirts and cheap clothes.

"My home is up there!" Zhu Wanfang said to Jiang Lai with a hint of inferiority after getting off the bus.

"I'll take you up!" Jiang Lai looked around at the surroundings, but didn't seem to mind too much, and said naturally.

Zhu Wanfang stared at Jiang Lai for a moment, then nodded shyly.

Chapter 54 Father Zhu

"You brat, where have you been again?" Jiang Lai and Zhu Wanfang arrived upstairs at her house and ran into her father, Zhu Wenxiong. Upon seeing Zhu Wanfang, Zhu Wenxiong immediately started cursing.

Jiang Lai frowned upon seeing this.

"I...!" Zhu Wanfang wanted to explain, but didn't know how to start.

"What... a girl like you, all you do is fool around outside and cause trouble everywhere!" Before Zhu Wanfang could finish speaking, Zhu Wenxiong angrily continued to curse.

"I...I didn't!" Zhu Wanfang felt extremely wronged after being scolded by Zhu Wenxiong, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Hmph!" Zhu Wenxiong snorted coldly, then saw Jiang Lai behind Zhu Wanfang.

"Who is this brat?" Zhu Wenxiong ignored Zhu Wanfang and instead looked at Jiang Lai behind Zhu Wanfang, pointing at Jiang Lai and asking with an unfriendly expression.

It's not Zhu Wenxiong's fault. Zhu Wanfang was originally a well-behaved girl who excelled in her studies and was very obedient and sensible. She never caused trouble at school.

Because his daughter is beautiful and pure, she caught the eye of both his dashing underling "Scarface" and his classmate "Mai Jie". As a result, the two had a conflict, which escalated the situation and made Zhu Wenxiong extremely angry!

"His...his name is Jiang Lai!" Zhu Wanfang glanced at Jiang Lai furtively, lowered her head, and spoke to Zhu Wenxiong with a hint of fear.

"Uncle!" Jiang Lai nodded slightly and greeted Zhu Wenxiong politely.

"Don't call me uncle, kid. I'm warning you, stay away from my daughter. You're not welcome in our house. Get out of here right now!" Zhu Wenxiong thought Jiang Lai was Zhu Wanfang's classmate, and like Mai Jie, he also wanted to provoke his daughter.

However, having learned his lesson from Scarface and Mai Jie, Zhu Wenxiong is now very sensitive, so he didn't give Jiang a friendly look.

Jiang Lai usually prefers to wear white suits, which makes him look more mature. However, unfortunately, today Jiang Lai was wearing a white T-shirt, casual pants, and sneakers. His sporty outfit made his already young face look even more youthful, which led Zhu Wenxiong to misunderstand.

"Dad, please don't do this..." Zhu Wanfang saw Zhu Wenxiong scolding Jiang Lai and wanted to speak up to stop him.

"Shut up!" Zhu Wenxiong roared at Zhu Wanfang, then turned to Jiang Lai and said, "Kid, you can leave now. Don't come back and don't go near Wanfang!"

After Zhu Wenxiong finished speaking, he waved to Jiang Lai with a slightly helpless expression, signaling him to leave quickly.

Jiang Lai wasn't angry at Zhu Wenxiong's actions. Putting himself in Zhu Wenxiong's shoes, he figured he would have done even worse if his own daughter had encountered the same situation.

"Uncle, I heard from Xiaofang that someone named Xiaosa has been causing her trouble lately?" Jiang Lai ignored Zhu Wenxiong's words and asked in return.

After hearing Jiang Lai's words, Zhu Wenxiong glanced at Zhu Wanfang, then turned back to Jiang Lai, his expression becoming slightly serious. He said to Jiang Lai in a solemn and cautious tone, "Kid, this is none of your business. Don't meddle. Our family affairs are none of your concern!"

After saying that, Zhu Wenxiong glared at Zhu Wanfang.

Jiang Lai wasn't angry, but continued to ask, "Did you know that Xiao Sa asked Wan Fang to give him 100,000 yuan?"

One hundred thousand yuan? He really didn't know that.

"Xiao Fang?" Zhu Wenxiong looked at Zhu Wanfang with a questioning gaze.

Zhu Wanfang didn't know what to say, but her eyes were filled with tears, and she nodded slightly with her head bowed.

When Zhu Wenxiong saw his daughter nod, he clenched his fist and sighed deeply.

"Don't worry, I'll figure out the money!" Zhu Wenxiong was angry but suppressed it as he looked at his crying daughter and comforted Zhu Wanfang.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Wanfang pursed her lips, her mood becoming even heavier. She knew her family's situation; they simply didn't have that much money.

"You can leave now!" Zhu Wenxiong waved his hand, his spirits low, his straight back slightly bent, and said to Jiang Lai in a somewhat negative tone.

Upon hearing Zhu Xiong's words, Jiang Lai did not move, but continued to ask, "Even if you give them money this time, what can you do if they continue to harass your daughter in the future?"

"He dares?" Zhu Wenxiong's body trembled upon hearing Jiang Lai's words, and he roared angrily.

Although Jiang Lai's tone was calm, every word he spoke felt like a knife stabbing into Zhu Wenxiong's heart.

In truth, he was also very uneasy. After leaving the Chaozhou gang, he had been living an honest life and had not provoked anyone, but he never expected that his daughter would be in such a situation.

"Haven't you already seen it?" Jiang Lai asked again. To Jiang Lai, Zhu Wenxiong's words sounded more like impotent rage.

Previously, Zhu Wenxiong had also asked Sheng Ge, a big shot in the Chaozhou gang, to help him negotiate, but unexpectedly, Xiao Sa didn't give him any face, and the two sides even started fighting.

Zhu Wenxiong fell silent. Xiao Sa was extremely arrogant and had no bottom line in his actions, which was exactly what troubled him. Moreover, in his opinion, Xiao Sa now had "a lot" of power. Although he knew some people, Xiao Sa didn't respect them.

"Ugh!"

Zhu Wenxiong sighed, shook his head, and looked utterly helpless.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

"I promised Xiaofang that I would help her settle this matter!" Jiang Lai looked at Zhu Wenxiong and continued calmly.

"You?" Zhu Wenxiong was stunned for a moment after hearing Jiang Lai's words, then sneered and said, "Kid, you'd better go back to your studies!"

At this point, Zhu Wenxiong had no intention of paying any attention to Jiang Lai.

After seeing Jiang Lai's attire, he assumed that Jiang Lai's family must be well-off and that he was just trying to show off in front of his daughter. He had seen plenty of scoundrels like that before.

Remembering Xiao Sa's ruthlessness, Zhu Wenxiong didn't want Jiang Lai to get involved and make things more complicated.

If Jiang Lai continues to pester him, he plans to have Zhu Wanfang drive away this so-called "classmate".

Jiang Lai laughed after hearing Zhu Wenxiong's words; it turned out he mistook him for Zhu Wanfang.

"Studying is out of the question, but I think dealing with Xiaosa is no problem!" Jiang Lai smiled, shook his head slightly, and his words were full of disdain for Xiaosa.

Zhu Wenxiong wanted to say something more, but an arrogant voice came from the stairwell.

"Damn it, who the hell is so arrogant!"

Hearing the sound, Jiang Lai turned his head.

Three young men in white school uniforms swaggered up the stairs.

Upon hearing this voice, Zhu Wanfang's expression immediately turned rather unpleasant!

"You fucking said you wanted to take care of Handsome Bro?"

Chapter 55 The Handsome Guy

The speaker was Jack, Zhu Wanfang's classmate and also Xiao Sa's little brother. He often bullied Zhu Wanfang at school, which made Zhu Wanfang instinctively afraid of him.

Jack pointed at Jiang Lai with his finger, his expression extremely arrogant.

"You bitch, I've been looking for you for two days, and you actually went off to hook up with rich guys?" Jack and his two companions walked towards Jiang Lai and the others, pointing at Jiang Lai while cursing at Zhu Wanfang.

Jiang Lai frowned slightly.

"You fucking..." Jack strode towards Jiang Lai, about to grab Jiang Lai's collar.

Jiang Lai grabbed Jack's wrist. Jack tried to struggle, but Jiang Lai's hand was like an iron clamp, making him unable to move.

"Damn it, get him!" Jack yelled at the two men beside him when he saw that he couldn't break free from Jiang Lai.

Upon hearing Jack's roar, the two immediately charged aggressively towards Jiang Lai.

"what!"

Jiang Lai's eyes turned cold, and he kicked Jack in the chest, sending him tumbling to the ground. Jack screamed in pain, his face showing anger and fear.

Two other henchmen rushed up.

Jiang Lai swung his elbow at one of them, and the henchman immediately curled up, clutching his chest and howling in pain. As for the other one, Jiang Lai slapped him across the face, knocking him to the ground, blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and half of his face quickly swelling up.

All three were knocked to the ground. Jiang Lai took a step forward, and Jack was so frightened that he braced himself with his hands on the ground, moved his body back, and glared at Jiang Lai, saying, "You...you just wait!"

After uttering those harsh words, Jack and his two companions quickly got up and ran downstairs.

Jiang Lai didn't stop Jack and his two companions; he knew Jack had definitely gone to find Xiao Sa.

He turned to Zhu Wanfang and said, "It's alright, let's go back now!"

Zhu Wenxiong was dumbfounded when he saw Jiang Lai so easily defeat Jack and his two companions.

“But, they…” Zhu Wanfang pointed to Jack and his two companions who had escaped, and looked at Jiang Lai with some concern, as if she wanted to say something.

"Don't worry!" Jiang Lai didn't say much, but smiled slightly and nodded.

Seeing Jiang Lai's expression, which seemed to disregard Jack's threat, Zhu Wanfang felt much more at ease.

A look of gratitude appeared on her face, and she nodded.

“Um…” Zhu Wenxiong looked at Jiang Lai, suddenly unable to recall his name.

"My name is Jiang Lai!" Jiang Lai said with a smile.

"Oh, Jiang Lai!" Zhu Wenxiong raised his hand somewhat awkwardly, then said, "Are you alright? Why don't you come in and sit down?"

Jiang Lai glanced at Zhu Wanfang, then at the backs of Jack and his two companions downstairs, and said with a smile, "Next time, I won't go in today!"

"Ah, oh, well... okay then!" Zhu Wenxiong seemed to want to say something, but he swallowed his words back.

"Go back and get some rest, don't worry!" Jiang Lai said gently to Zhu Wanfang.

Zhu Wanfang nodded gently, then raised her head and asked with concern, "Then... what about you?"

"He told me to wait, so I'll go downstairs and wait for him!" Jiang Lai said with a slight smile and a relaxed expression.

"Huh?" Zhu Wanfang's eyes widened as she looked at Jiang Lai in disbelief.

Ha ha!

Jiang Lai smiled slightly, said nothing more, and turned to walk downstairs.

Watching Jiang Lai's retreating figure as he went downstairs, Zhu Wenxiong and Zhu Wanfang exchanged a glance, neither of them reacting yet.

Jack and his two companions quickly left the area, ran to a phone booth, and dialed a number. His voice trembled as he said, "Brother, I've been beaten up. I don't know him. Yes. At that bitch's house."

A cold voice came from the other end of the phone, "Wait there, I'm coming right away!"

Jiang Lai stretched downstairs, thought for a moment, and then took out his phone: "Abu, bring two hundred brothers over!"

Jiang then gave the address to Abu.

Jiang called for reinforcements not because he was worried he couldn't beat Xiao Sa and his group, but because he said he wanted to settle things, which meant it wasn't as simple as just beating Xiao Sa up.

Zhu Wanfang stood at the window, looking down at Jiang Lai with a heart full of worry.
