The Happy Farmer Wanderer-Chapter 291 Reunion with an Old Friend_1

"How can someone be like this, flirting around even with his girlfriend right by his side?"

After parting ways with Li Qing, Li Yongchang, and Chen Fei, Wu Xingxing began her frenzied tirade.

"Not even good-looking, doesn’t seem wealthy either, and still tries to have his cake and eat it too. People like him should just stay single for life. And that Miss Chen, despite being so pretty, insists on choosing such trash. I bet they won’t last long."

"That girl’s choice in men is utterly problematic. She could even fancy someone with the traits of Li Yongchang!"

Li Qing chuckled, just about to speak, when he suddenly saw Li Yongchang pulling Chen Fei, catching up from behind.

"Qingzi, wait for me, wait a sec!"

Li Qing came to a halt, stopping.

Panting, Li Yongchang caught up and said, "I almost forgot something, do you remember Liang Yu?"

Liang Yu?

Li Qing’s brows furrowed slightly.

He certainly did; the last time with Boss Gong at KTV, he had even picked Liang Yu’s table.

"What about her?" Li Qing asked, puzzled.

Li Yongchang took a few deep breaths to regulate his breathing and said, "She’s been asking about you a few times in front of me recently."

Li Qing’s brows instantly knitted, "Why is she asking about me? And how did she ask you? How do you even know her?"

One was a high school classmate and the other a middle school classmate; the connection seemed a bit far off.

Though everyone attended the same school, the middle school and high school sections hardly intersected, unless they were from the same village.

"What’s so strange about me knowing her? I knew her when we were in school," Li Yongchang said.

Only then did Li Qing remember—Liang Yu had repeated a year.

"She didn’t specify what it’s about; basically, she just wanted your phone number. It’s up to you whether to give it to her or not," Li Yongchang continued, "Oh, and I invited her to our gathering this time as well."

"Why did you invite her? The classmates won’t recognize her," Li Qing said discontentedly.

He wasn’t fond of having anything more to do with Liang Yu.

"Hey, don’t say it like that, Chen Fei knows her. The bunch of you from high school, most of you know each other, right?" Li Yongchang said nonchalantly, "So, the phone number, will you give it?"

"Forget it," Li Qing considered and then said.

"Man, you are merciless, after all, she is..." Li Yongchang glanced at Wu Xingxing and held back the rest of his words, "Then it’s your call. Anyway, I’ve delivered the message; I’m off."

Watching Li Yongchang leave with Chen Fei, Wu Xingxing turned and asked, "Qingzi, why do I feel like this Liang Yu has some kind of story with you?"

With Big Mouth Li Yongchang having said so much, Li Qing knew he couldn’t hide it and decided just to tell the truth.

"I do have some history with her—actually, you could say we have a grudge. It’s like this..."

After Li Qing finished sharing his story with Liang Yu, Wu Xingxing’s eyes widened in utter shock, "That woman is such a bully, stirring up such an awkward situation back then. Why would she still want to contact you?"

Li Qing guessed it was probably related to their last encounter at KTV.

But, of course, he couldn’t just tell the truth about that.

"I don’t know either, maybe she has some issues," Li Qing shook his head, "But regardless of her reasons, I don’t want to deal with it. It’s kind enough that I haven’t settled scores with her after autumn."

"You should settle scores after autumn; that’s too terrible!" Wu Xingxing exclaimed, waving her fist.

Li Qing didn’t want to linger on this topic, "Do you want to go to the gathering with me?"

Wu Xingxing immediately shook her head like a rattle, "No way, why would I go? I don’t know anyone there."

"But you know me!" Li Qing laughed.

"No, no," Wu Xingxing’s attitude was firm, "I don’t like that kind of environment either."

"Alright then, I’ll see how it goes," Li Qing said.

...

In the following days, Li Qing’s life gradually got back on track.

Although the price of Wenguan Leaves had dropped, Li Qing had also pushed down the purchase price by three yuan, still earning a nice profit. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

However, with autumn approaching, this business wouldn’t last much longer.

During this time, Li Yongchang called several times to talk about the gathering.

Li Qing originally had no intention of going.

But he couldn’t withstand Li Yongchang’s repeated calls and finally agreed to go.

However, based on his understanding of Li Yongchang, this guy’s enthusiasm was definitely not without self-serving motives.

Li Qing guessed that Li Yongchang was likely hoping he would share some of the gathering’s expenses.

Li Qing had decided to attend the gathering, but he had no intention of spending a dime.

If he ended up footing the bill, he’d be purely out of his mind!

The day of the scheduled gathering arrived, and Li Qing took care of his business before giving Han Mei a heads-up.

Then he rushed to the gathering place.

It was a KTV.

When Li Qing walked in, the large private room, capable of accommodating thirty or forty people, was already filled with many guests, sitting in groups and chatting.

Li Yongchang was squeezed in the midst of a bunch of girls, chatting animatedly, spitting while he spoke.

"Ah, our big boss has arrived! Hurry, hurry!" Li Yongchang saw Li Qing at the door, shouted loudly, enthusiastically pulling Li Qing to a seat.

"Don’t put a high hat on me, you’re the big boss, I’m just a farmer!" Li Qing corrected him.

"Alright, alright, you’re the big boss among farmers," Li Yongchang said casually, handing Li Qing an opened bottle of beer, "You’re late, self-punish with three bottles!"

"If you want my life just say so, three bottles!" Li Qing immediately protested.

Chugging three big bottles of beer meant he’d be out for the rest of the evening.

"Then one bottle is okay, right?" Li Yongchang said persistently.

From the side, suddenly a fair, delicate hand reached out, "I’ll drink for him."

"In ancient times, heroes saved beauties, but today our beautiful Liang Yu is going to save a hero, how heroic!" Li Yongchang exclaimed.

Li Qing turned his head to look, and there was Liang Yu, who had been inquiring about him recently.

Compared to the last time they met at KTV, she was dressed more conservatively today.

A long dress with a floral pattern, but the neckline was still very low, her full curves barely concealed.

"No need, I’ll do it myself," Li Qing said.

He was somewhat uncertain about Liang Yu’s intentions and didn’t want to guess.

It was better not to get too involved with her.

No sooner had Li Qing finished speaking than Liang Yu raised her neck and chugged down a bottle of beer.

The way she drank was undoubtedly that of an expert.

But then, this was her specialty after all.

"Bravo!" Li Yongchang shouted, "Beautiful Liang Yu, don’t protect him for the remaining two bottles, okay? I know about your relationship, but Qingzi is a man after all, let him handle the rest."

"Get out of here, one bottle is enough," Li Qing said irritably.

This little bastard, always stirring up trouble.
