The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

by Watermelonian, 西瓜星人

  Li Qiaoqiao hesitated for a short while, but still opened her handbag and searched through its contents. Her face changed, and she cried out, “How could it be?” She retrieved two boxes from the handbag.

  Zhang Tianhao looked like he was struck by lightning.

  “It’s impossible! Impossible! I had planted it in the backpack…”

  He abruptly stopped speaking.

  Zhang Tianhao’s face was a ghostly pallor.

  “So it’s really you after all! Young Master Zhang, you’re such a genius!” Tang Hao smirked.

  There was a sudden uproar in the crowd.

  It turned out that the victim had been the perpetrator after all.

  “Look, he’s so smartly dressed but he’s just a despicable and shameless crook!” The crowd commented as they looked at Zhang Tianhao with disgust.

  “How could it end up like this…”

  Zhang Tianhao was despondent. He did not understand how the box that he planted in Tang Hao’s backpack had ended up in Li Qiaoqiao’s handbag.

  ‘Unless… he knew right from the start?’

  He could not believe it.

  “Young Master Zhang, I could not believe that you wanted to frame me! You’re an animal in human clothing!” Tang Hao walked up to Zhang Tianhao’s face and glared coldly at him.

  He then abruptly leaned next to Zhang Tianhao’s ear and whispered coldly to him. “You persuaded your father to expel me, right? I’ve never forgotten about this grudge!”

  Then, he looked at Li Qiaoqiao. “Qiaoqiao, you’ve picked the wrong guy. He’s just a dishonorable crook after all!”

  Li Qiaoqiao stood there, stupefied. She even looked a little pale.

  “Stop farting from your mouth, Tang Hao! I, Zhang Tianhao, is more superior to you a hundred times, no, ten thousand times! Who are you, Tang Hao? You’re just a peasant laborer fated to toil for someone else forever. You lowlife!

  “Qiaoqiao is now my girlfriend. Who are you to talk to her like that? Remember. She is my girlfriend. Not yours. Do you think you are a match with Qiaoqiao?”

  Zhang Tianhao had lost control of his emotions and was yelling madly.

  He rushed over and hugged Li Qiaoqiao tightly. A demonstration of dominance.

  “I wonder which blind woman will fall in love with a poor kid like you. Qiaoqiao was right to ditch you and fall for me. What I can give Qiaoqiao, can you give too?”

  Tang Hao was expressionless. He did not look at Zhang Tianhao but rather fixed his gaze upon Li Qiaoqiao.

  Li Qiaoqiao remained silent, and her face became paler and paler.

  “What are you looking at! Stop using your dog eyes to look at my girlfriend.” Zhang Tianhao’s face was close to insanity.

  Tang Hao took one last glance at both of them, and his eyes displayed a hint of mockery. He crouched, picked up the backpack and its contents.

  Suddenly, he heard a flirtatious voice coming from beside him. “Honey, why are you here?”

  Tang Hao was shocked. He thought the voice sounded familiar.

  He looked toward the source of the voice. Amid the crowd, a curvaceous silhouette was walking toward him.

  She was wearing a black full-body dress adorned with crystals. She shone brilliantly under the light and all eyes were on her. Her body was voluptuous and seductive.

  That dimpled face was enchanting, and she exuded grace and charm.

  Her appearance had caused all the eyes in the mall to converge on her.

  The men’s eyes were bulging as they swallowed hard.

  “F*ck! Slender waist, long legs. This is a masterpiece!” Someone mumbled.

  He had spoken the feelings of every male in the mall.

  After that was a series of grunting and yelling in pain. It was the sound of men being pulled by the ears by their wives.

  Tang Hao stood there, stunned. ‘Isn’t that Sis Xiangyi? Why is she here? And who was the ‘Honey’ she was referring to?”

  He instinctively turned around to look at who she was calling.

  Qin Xiangyi had already walked close to him. She smiled and reached for Tang Hao’s arm with her delicate hands. She then leaned over and rested her head on Tang Hao’s shoulder. A scene of tenderness and love.

  “Honey, I’ve been waiting for you! Oh, who are these two?” Qin Xiangyi spoke with a flirtatious voice.

  Everyone around them was stunned. If you listened closely, you might even hear the sound of hearts shattering.

  “That’s Qin the Femme Fatale! Who could this kid be? How could she be interested in him?”

  “There’s no justice in this world! Qin the Femme Fatale likes young boys!”

  Wailing sounds were heard all around.

  Zhang Tianhao and Li Qiaoqiao stood frozen in their place and stared at this woman who had abruptly arrived at the scene.

  She was so charming and eye-catching, as well as sexy and seductive.

  Zhang Tianhao’s mind was blank. His face was ashen.

  ‘This can’t be… this can’t be… how can this lowly person find such a beautiful woman to love him?’

  Li Qiaoqiao, standing next to him, was nothing when compared to this woman.

  It did not matter whether the comparison was of her appearance, or body, or upbringing. Li Qiaoqiao was utterly defeated.

  Meanwhile, Li Qiaoqiao felt bitter in her heart.

  She felt inferior when she was compared to this woman.

  She looked at the boy whom she had once fallen in love and subsequently ditched, and now he had found someone ten times, no, one hundred times better than her. This was the feeling of being overwhelmingly crushed.

  Tang Hao stood there stiffly.

  “What are you doing, Sis Xiangyi?” Tang Hao whispered.

  “I’m helping you! These two people are horrid. I saw everything earlier, so now I’m helping you to get back at them!”

  Qin Xiangyi pressed her face against Tang Hao’s cheek and whispered into his ear.

  Her red lips were slightly open and a fragrant breath was exhaled from her mouth. It tickled when she blew on Tang Hao’s face.

  Her red phoenix eyes narrowed as she looked at Tang Hao’s side profile, then joked. “Oh, Lil Tang, I didn’t expect you to be so handsome after changing clothes. Even a big sister like me might fall for you.”

  Tang Hao’s face became even redder.

  He coughed lightly, then spoke, “These two… used to be my classmates.”

  “Oh! Ex-classmates! But they don’t sound very kind to you! I heard him say that no woman in this world will fall for you! I think he’s blind! My honey is so outstanding, why wouldn’t any woman fall for him?

  “As for this girl… she’s just so-so! Hm! Too thin, and the breasts are so small. A-cup, I guess? Well, B-cup at most. And her ass is so small too.”

  Li Qiaoqiao was trembling and her face became even paler. She looked for a hole to jump in as she stood in front of such a formidable opponent.

  Zhang Tianhao’s expression had turned ghastly.

  “Honey, enough dealing with these people. They’re not worth our time! Let’s go!”

  After that, she clung to Tang Hao’s arm and they walked outside.

  Hand in hand, the two people left Sky City Plaza. Everyone stopped to stare at them as they passed by.

  “The f*ck? Are my eyes playing tricks on me? Isn’t that Qin the Femme Fatale?”

  “Daaaamn, who’s that pretty boy?”

  Everyone’s jaw dropped.

  There were fewer people on the street outside the mall. Tang Hao exhaled a sigh of relief. He was on tenterhooks while walking in the mall. The people around looked at him with killing intent, as if they were going to flay him with their eyes.

  Qin Xiangyi chuckled and joked, “How’s that, Lil Tang? Feeling pressured?”

  “I’m… fine! I’m fine! Sis Xiangyi, you have such charm,” Tang Hao smiled, “Right, S
is Xiangyi, won’t this affect your reputation?”

  “What reputation? I don’t have a boyfriend, so what’s there to be worried about? How about… you be my boyfriend!” Qin Xiangyi laughed slyly.

  She sounded like she was joking, but also sounded serious. There was something different in the way she was looking at Tang Hao.

  Thump! Thump!

  Tang Hao’s heart was beating hard.

  Qin Xiangyi laughed. “I was just joking! I’m not in the market for a boyfriend yet, but whenever I do, I’ll put you in consideration.”

  “You’re torturing me, Sis Xiangyi!” Tang Hao laughed drily.

  “Why, think you’re not on my level?” Qin Xiangyi said, “You lack confidence, Lil Tang. Look at you now, so handsome! Many girls will fall for you if you know how to sweet-talk.”

  Tang Hao blushed.

  Qin Xiangyi released Tang Hao’s hand, then tidied his clothes.

  She did not stop chuckling, looking at how embarrassed Tang Hao was.

  “Right, why did you suddenly buy clothes?” Qin Xiangyi asked.

  “Oh! Bro Biao asked me to. He said he had a few friends who wanted to meet me tomorrow, and I had better get myself some decent clothes,” Tang Hao replied.

  “That’s very good advice from Jin Biao. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even be buying new clothes!” Qin Xiangyi said. She paused for a while, then continued, “I’ll come along tomorrow then. I know the friends that Jin Biao is talking about. Don’t worry, I’ll let Jin Biao know myself.”

  “Oh!” Tang Hao replied.

  “Why didn’t I notice that you’re so amazing before, Lil Tang? That beauty enhancement cream was wonderful. And I heard that you have weight loss and aphrodisiac potions too.” her face was blushing slightly when she mentioned the aphrodisiac potion.

  “You already know?” Tang hao felt awkward.

  “Why wouldn’t I? That fella Jin Biao is praising you to the high heavens. He says that you’re an otherworldly genius .”

  Tang Hao rubbed the back of his head and replied awkwardly, “I’m no genius!”

  Qin Xiangyi burst out laughing. “Even if you’re not, I guess your ancestors are! They left such amazing recipes for you.”

  Tang Hao smiled and did not reply.

  Both of them chatted as they walked. Soon, they arrived at a red sports car. It was Qin Xiangyi’s Ferrari. Tang Hao heard that it cost more than five million yuan.

  “Want a ride?” Qin Xiangyi asked.

  “I’m fine. I have a motorcycle.”

  Qin Xiangyi was taken aback, then laughed out loud. “You’re keeping such a low profile! You must’ve earned quite a bit of money by now, you should go get a driving license and a nice car. Men need nice cars.”

  “No rush!” Tang Hao replied.

  “That’s true. See you tomorrow then! Right, can I ask for more boxes of beauty enhancement cream tomorrow? I have a few good friends asking for it. Do you have more?”

  “I have a few.”

  “That’ll do! See you!” After that, Qin Xiangyi opened the door to her car and scuttled in. She waved to Tang Hao as she ignited the car engine. In a short while, the sports car disappeared out of sight.

  Tang Hao saw that she was gone before hopping onto his three-wheeled motorcycle and drove back to Tang Village.

  The next morning, he delivered five boxes of beauty enhancement cream to Sis Xiangyi.

  In the evening, he returned to Azure Sky Gardens. He was dressed in his new business suit, and he even made sure that his hair was neat.

  President Biao was shocked when he saw him. “Oh my, you’re Lil Tang!?”

  He dashed in front of him and scrutinized him from top to bottom. “Lil Tang, you look amazing. I’ll have to admit that you’re just a teeny bit more handsome than I was when I was your age,” he exclaimed.

  He had just finished speaking when Wu Yanyan came over and pulled his ear. “Nonsense, you! You only know how to brag, and you still want to compare yourself with Lil Tang?”

  “Ow, ow! Darling, please let go!” President Biao cried agonizingly.

  Wu Yanyan harrumphed and tossed President Biao aside. She smiled as she took a closer look at Tang Hao.

  “Oh my, Lil Tang, you really don’t want Sis Wu to introduce a girlfriend to you? I can’t bear to see you fall into other hands!”

  “No need! No need!” Tang Hao replied hastily.

  Sis Wu had been trying to introduce him to a girlfriend every time they met. He was a little intimidated by that.

  Just then, a red sports car drove by. The car door opened after the car was parked, and out came someone beautiful.

  She was in a black one-piece dress, though the style was very different from yesterday’s dress. It was more delicate and grand, which added to her aura of nobility and exquisiteness.

  “Oh! Qin the Femme Fatale is here!” President Biao shouted.

  “Sis Yan! President Biao! Lil Tang!” Qin Xiangyi greeted each of them.

  “Lil Tang, do you want to sit in my car or Qin’s car?” President Biao asked.

  Tang Hao pondered for a moment, then replied, “I’ll sit with Sis Xiangyi then!”

  “Wow, look at this kid! Hoes before bros!” President Biao grumbled, “Alright, you’ll sit in her car then! We’d better make a move, it’s not early!”

  After that, he hopped into his Land Rover, while Tang Hao rode on the same car as Sis Xiangyi.

  They headed north after leaving Azure Sky Gardens. About twenty minutes later, they arrived at Beyond Heaven Restaurant, one of the top-end restaurants in the district.

  “Let’s go. Private room number 503.”

  President Biao led the way upstairs.

  The private room already had many people in it. Judging from their dress, they were very rich people.

  “Oh! President Biao is here! Hm? Why is Qin the Femme Fatale here too?”

  All these people stood up when they saw the party enter the room. They were surprised when they saw Qin Xiangyi come in.

  “President Biao, is this the Brother Tang you were talking about?”

  “That right, that’s him!”

  Jin Biao stood aside and pointed at Tang Hao while introducing him. “This person here is Tang Hao, Brother Tang! What do you think?”

  “Oh wow, Brother Tang looks talented and handsome! What a coincidence, my surname is Tang too! And my name is Changfeng.” A man walked over and enthusiastically grabbed Tang Hao’s hand, then shook it forcefully.

  COMMENT

  This man looked to be about fifty years old. His appearance was plain and was slightly plump.

  “Brother Tang, I might look like this now, but a few days ago, I was a lot fatter. All thanks to your weight loss tea that I’ve lost about forty or fifty pounds in a few days. That was a miracle!”

  He did not let go of Tang Hao’s hand as he continued speaking, “I say, Brother Tang, do you have… any more of that weight-loss tea? Give me a few more bottles.”

  “Ah, Ol’ Tang, what are you saying? You’re going out of order!”

  A fat man rushed over and shoved Tang Changfeng aside. He grasped Tang Hao’s hands and smiles piled on his face, then he said cordially, “Brother Tang! Don’t worry about him, give it to me first! He’s already so slim, what’s the rush?

  “Oh, right! My name is Liu Dajun. If you don’t mind, you can call me Big Bro Liu.”

  Tang Hao retracted his hand and addressed each of them. “Big Bro Liu, Big Bro Tang!”

  He then hastily added, “Please don’t worry. When I make more in the coming days, you’ll be the first ones I’ll contact.”

  “That’s a deal! Remember to give it to me first!” Liu Dajun exclaimed.

  The other three people came over to introduce themselves one by one.

  President Biao pointed at Tang Changfeng and Liu Dajun and introduced them to Tang Hao.

  “Lil Tang, this Ol’ Tang, he’s in the construction business. As for Ol’ Liu, he’s in the property business and is super
rich. Don’t hold back when naming a price for his potions.”

  Then, he pointed at the other three people.

  “This Ol’ Li owns a shoe factory. Ol’ Huang here runs a furniture business, and Ol’ Ma is an antique dealer. His nickname is Ninth Elder Ma, and he is one of the most prominent people in the antique business.

  Tang Hao greeted each of them.

  President Li and President Huang looked rather plain, both were about fifty years old. As for Ninth Elder Ma, he looked distinguished from the other people. He was dressed in a scholarly Chinese suit and stood straight. He was already more than sixty years old but still looked energetic.

  “Come, let’s sit down!”

  President Biao ushered everyone to their seats.

  “Let’s sit here, Lil Tang!’ Qin Xiangyi pulled Tang Hao’s shirt sleeve and dragged him aside.

  Liu Dajun and the other people laughed when they saw this. “Hey, Qin the Femme Fatale! You’re being so intimate to our Brother Tang. Don’t tell me you’ve fallen for him?” They joked.

  Qin Xiangyi’s composure did not falter. “Why, who’s gonna stop me? Also, when did Lil Tang become ‘your’ Brother Tang?” She joked.

  “Lil Tang addressed me as Big Bro earlier. So we’re a family now!” Liu Dajun smiled.

  The atmosphere became merry as the party attendees took a dig at each other.

  Two more people joined the party a while later. After a round of greetings led by President Biao, dinner was soon served.

  Beyond Heaven Restaurant was one of the best restaurants in the district. The dishes served there could not be found elsewhere. Tang Hao had never seen such delicacies before and wasted no time in eating everything he could.

  A few dishes into the meal, Liu Dajun said, “Hey, Lil Tang! Your potions are wondrous! Frankly, your Big Bro Liu has never seen such miraculous potions in all fifty-odd years of his life.
