Chapter 1430: Chapter 1430: Encounter with Drunken Thugs

"Miss Jiang misunderstood, I was just curious, that’s all." Jin Hao sensed Jiang Xue’s scrutiny, and his heart skipped a beat, inwardly alert.

"Is that so?" Jiang Xue glanced at Jin Hao faintly, clearly not believing him.

However, she also noticeably sensed Jin Hao’s displeasure and did not bring up the matter again. Ah Li noticed the tense atmosphere and immediately tried to lighten it up.

As everyone ate, apart from praising Jiang Xue’s cooking skills, there was nothing else mentioned. Jin Hao also kept silent and quietly ate his food.

To be honest, he had visited many places and tasted many delicacies. Only Huaxia’s cuisine never bored him, no matter how often he ate it.

If not for this, he wouldn’t have helped Ah Li open this restaurant.

The group finished all the food on the table. In the end, they all ate too much, their protruding stomachs resembling pregnant women.

Having overeaten, none of them wanted to work. They all sat down to rest, leaving the table full of dishes and cutlery right there.

After resting for a while, Jiang Xue and Huo Cong proposed returning to the hotel. Ah Li also didn’t insist they stay, knowing Jiang Xue was exhausted today.

Jin Hao saw Jiang Xue and Huo Cong ready to leave and smiled as he offered, "Jiang Xue, how about I have a driver take you back?"

"Thank you, Mr. Jin, for your kindness, but there’s no need, we can walk back ourselves." Having eaten too much, even after resting a bit, her stomach was still uncomfortable - a walk would help with digestion.

Jin Hao saw Jiang Xue refuse, his eyes flashed, but he didn’t insist. However, after they left the restaurant, he quietly made a phone call.

And so, when Jiang Xue and the others were nearing the hotel, a group of drunks suddenly appeared. They blocked Jiang Xue and Huo Cong’s path, looking at Jiang Xue lewdly while reaching out to touch her face.

Yet, before they could get their hands close to Jiang Xue, Huo Cong moved. He lifted his hand slightly, seized the drunk’s hand, and twisted it.

A wretched scream came from the man, and he sobered up somewhat.

"Get lost!" Huo Cong spat out coldly, causing the group of drunks to instantly shrink away, then scurried off.

Jiang Xue watched them leave, squinting slightly. However, she didn’t say anything, just walked away. Before leaving, she glanced towards the rear left.

She knew there was a parked car there and knew whose car it was. If she hadn’t wanted to avoid complicating matters, she would’ve rushed over to drag the person from the car.

At this moment, the person inside the car was none other than Jin Hao. The drunken men were specifically hired by him to trouble Jiang Xue. He just hadn’t expected those drunks would chicken out so easily.

Huo Cong’s single move intimidated them.

Seeing Jiang Xue leave, Jin Hao looked bored, and he said to the driver coldly, "Let’s go!"

The car drove off, and not long after, a silhouette appeared on the street. Ah Li glanced in the direction of Jin Hao’s departing car, frowning.

Before, she thought Jiang Xue was overthinking it. Now it seemed Jiang Xue hadn’t thought too much; it was she who oversimplified matters.

It’s just that, like Jiang Xue, Ah Li couldn’t figure out what Jin Hao ultimately wanted to do. As she pondered, Ah Li’s figure faded into the darkness.

As for Jiang Xue, once she reached the hotel, she immediately collapsed onto the bed, unwilling to move. She was truly exhausted after a busy day.

Just as she was about to drift off to sleep, Little Fox’s voice echoed in her mind, saying, "Woman, woman, Little Reunion is hungry."
