Xu Bai looked at the time on his watch and then looked up at Su Meng, who was standing in front of him in a white down jacket with a chubby face.

Just ten minutes ago, Su Meng suddenly called Xu Bai, who was flipping through the game mall at home, and said that she would reach the community entrance in ten minutes.

When Xu Bai received the call, he thought he had misread the time.

In the end..

'Half past eight?' “Didn't you say that it might not end until around ten-thirty at night?”

“That's right.”

“Then how…”

Xu Bai was a little curious. The most important thing was that he had asked Old Bull to reserve a spot at 10:30 pm. If he suddenly came so early, Old Bull's barbeque shop would probably not have any seats left.

'That's not right.'

There should still be time.

Xu Bai recalled that when he had just come down, he had glanced in the direction of Old Bull's barbecue shop from upstairs. There were not many people who had gone to eat barbecue. The tables outside the shop had not been set up yet.

Actually, he wasn't the only one who was curious about why it was brought forward so early.

Su Meng was also very curious about this.

“I don't know. In the past, when I celebrated my birthday, it never ended before

10:30.”

“What about this time?”

“My mother said it was different this time.”

However, when Su Meng asked, Su Ruyu did not say anything. Moreover, this was not the only thing that made Su Meng curious.

“Oh right, Master!”

Su Meng thought of the strange gift this year and said to Xu Bai as an interesting thing, “Master, you don't know, but the gifts they gave this year are also very strange.”

Xu Bai looked at Su Meng.

Su Meng then treated it as a joke and told Xu Bai about how those people not only gave her gifts, but also their parents, in-laws, and aunts.

This had never happened before.

After Su Meng finished speaking, she looked at Xu Bai. “Don't you think it's magical, Master? It's never been like this before.”

Xu Bai smiled and narrowed his eyes. “It's quite magical.”

There was no need to think about it.

This must have been caused by Old Fu and Old Huang again.

These two old fellows.

Xu Bai was a little speechless. He had already asked Wang Qiang to run over and warn the two of them, but the two of them were fine. The guests had been returned, but what was the difference between what they had done and what they had done before?

The previous method was to overshadow the host.

Giving gifts at the door was obviously even worse.

Xu Bai felt a headache coming on. He looked at Su Meng. “By the way, does your mother have any objections?” Su Meng shook her head. “No, why?”

As long as he had no objections.

Although Su Ruyu was not his mother-in-law, it was unlikely that she would become his mother-in-law.

However, Su Ruyu was his disciple's mother after all. Furthermore, she was the big boss of Feng City's business bank. In terms of pure interpersonal relationships, it was best not to offend her.

Xu Bai thought to himself.

“Let's go. I'll treat you to barbecue.”

“Yeah. ”

Su Meng's face was filled with joy and anticipation. She nodded heavily. Compared to the seafood feast that her family had prepared for her that was worth tens of thousands, she was more looking forward to the hundred-dollar barbecue that her Master had treated her to.

“Master.”

“Yes?”

“There shouldn't be too many people tonight.”

“Not much.”

Xu Bai shook his head and said, “When I came over just now, I took a look.

There weren't many people.”

Su Meng nodded and responded with an “oh”.

Soon.

Xu Bai led Su Meng to the entrance of Old Bull's barbecue shop.

The next second.

Xu Bai was dumbfounded.

Su Meng, who was beside him, couldn't help but open her mouth wide. She looked at Xu Bai. “Master, is this what you mean by there aren't many people?” Xu Bail s eyebrows twitched.

At this moment, Liao Wu and the others whom Xu Bai had just seen on the stairs were nowhere to be seen in the barbecue shop.

The first thing he saw was…

Old Bull's barbeque shop was not only filled with customers, but even the entrance of the shop was filled with people who had come to eat barbeque.

Looking around, there was almost no place to step.

'But…

There was something very strange about it.

At the center of the crowd at the entrance of the shop was an empty table.

Right in the middle.

The real main table.

It was a well-deserved C spot.

It was as if these people who came to eat barbecue were blind and did not see such a good center.

However, someone saw it.

“Master, look, there's still the last table.”

When Su Meng saw this, her eyes lit up. Afraid that she wouldn't even be able to get the last seat, she hurriedly pulled Xu Bai towards the empty table.

By the time Xu Bai reacted, Su Meng had already taken the lead and sat down. Xu Bai, who had sat down, could almost clearly feel the many gazes on Su Meng from all directions.

Su Meng did not seem to notice it at all. Instead, she waved her hand happily.

“Boss, come quickly and order!”

As soon as he finished speaking.

It was as if Old Bull had been waiting in the shop for a long time. His face was filled with smiles as he jogged all the way to their table.

Xu Bai did not speak. He only watched Old Bull's performance silently.

He seriously suspected that someone had tipped him off when he went downstairs to pick up Su Meng. Hence, while he was picking up Su Meng, these neighbors who were watching the commotion came here to take a seat.

There was no other reason.

Xu Bai glanced around with his peripheral vision. Among the people present, every one of them was at least 50 years old. They were all old neighbors who lived in the old factory.

Moreover, he was already confident that he knew who the ghost who leaked the information was.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes. His gaze swept past Old Bull's shoulder, which was flickering with expressions and avoiding his gaze, and landed on a certain someone who was sitting at a corner table with his head lowered, trying his best to reduce his presence.

Wang Qiang lowered his head and fiddled with his mouth silently.

“Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me.”

” …Master.”

“Yeah. ”

Xu Bai jotted down Wang Qiang in his notebook and came back to his senses. He looked at Su Meng, who had spoken, and smiled. “What's wrong?”

Su Meng handed the menu in her hand to Xu Bai. “Master, is there still charcoal-roasted king crab here?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.

Charcoal barbecued..

King Crab?

Since when did Old Bull, who specialized in barbecuing at a affordable price, get to eat such high-end ingredients?

When Xu Bai heard Su Meng's words, he took the menu and looked at it. Then, he looked at the five bright words on it and looked at Old Bull in confusion.

“Barbecue king crab?”

Old Bull's expression was serious. “Yes, we just replenished stock.”

As he spoke.

Old Bull coughed.

Xu Bai laughed.

At this moment.

On a table at the side, Old Wang, who was 52 years old and dressed very fashionably, said, “Old Bull, didn't you say that you would give a king crab to whoever celebrates their birthday? Where's my king crab?”

Birthday? Gift?

Su Meng caught the keyword and her eyes lit up.

Xu Bail s mouth twitched.

He knew what Old Bull was doing.

When Old Bull heard Old Wang's words, he quickly turned his head and shouted at Old Wang, “Shut up. Your birthday has long passed. Do you think I don't know?”

Su Meng raised her hand. “Um, Boss, it's my birthday today. Do I get a present?”

Old Bull turned his head back and looked at Su Meng suspiciously.

“Is it your birthday today?”

“Uh-huh.”

“Are you serious? Is there any proof? If it's really your birthday, I'll give it to you. Don't worry, I, Old Bull, am a man of my word.”

“Yeah, I brought my ID.”

Xu Bai did not speak. He crossed his arms and looked at Old Bull expressionlessly.

“Come, I'll watch your performance.”

Su Meng hurriedly said. Then, she found the small bag she had placed behind her. After opening her backpack, she found her identity and handed it to Old “Boss, look, this is my ID. Look, it's my birthday today.”

“It really is.”

Old Bull took the identity card doubtfully and looked at Su Meng's date of birth. “It's November 21st, year 3064 of the Federation Calendar. Today is really your birthday. ”

Su Meng had a sincere expression as she took the identity card from Old Bull. “Boss, I didn't lie to you, right? Today is really my birthday.”

Old Bull patted his chest. “No problem. I'll give you king crabs for your birthday. That's for sure. Don't worry, I'll add it for you!”

Su Meng's face was filled with joy. “That's great. Thank you, Boss.”

Old Bull smiled and turned to walk into the shop.

Su Meng looked over and turned to look at Xu Bai behind her. She blinked. “Master?”

Xu Bail s gaze landed on the table behind him. A famous witch from Old Factory

Street had landed on it. Just now, after Old Bull loudly mentioned the date of Su Meng's birth, he saw the witch from Old Factory take out a pen and paper and draw circles on it from time to time.

The five aunties sitting at the table with the old factory witch were all famous matchmakers on Old Factory Street.

With these five matchmakers, not to mention the entire Feng City, just Old Factory Street alone had a glorious history of more than a thousand pairs.

A witch.

Five matchmakers.

Hiss!

Xu Bai sucked in a breath of cold air.

What were they doing?

Just as Xu Bai was about to get up and run over to take a look, he heard Su Meng's voice. He turned around and saw Su Meng's gaze. He smiled and said, “What's wrong?”

Su Meng looked around at the crowd and said in a low voice, “Master, there are so many people.”

Xu Bai hesitated for a moment and said with a smile, “Old Bull's barbecue shop has always been doing very well.”

'Never mind.'

Family scandals should not be aired in public.

Xu Bai thought about it and decided not to tell them. These people could not say 90%. It could be said that 100% of the people present were here. Other than their table, which was really here to eat barbecue, the rest of them were not here to eat barbecue at all. They were here to watch the show.

Furthermore…

They were watching the show.

Just you wait.

He would deal with them later.

Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and smiled as he chatted with Su Meng. Then, he began to fantasize about how he would repay these people's attention tomorrow.
