Movie/TV series: Starting with Ode to Joy, I opened my own private kitchen.

Page 47

Lan Caiping glared at Xue Sumei, raising her voice eight octaves: "Xue Sumei, what do you mean? Don't you know about first come, first served? And why isn't our Weiwei as pretty as your Taozi?" Her expression was full of anger and dissatisfaction.

Xue Sumei snorted defiantly and retorted, "Hmph! Do you think this is grocery shopping? First come, first served. If you have a good son-in-law in mind, of course you have to act quickly. Besides, everyone knows that my Taozi is prettier than your Weiwei. Don't believe me? Ask this young man, isn't that right?" Her eyes gleamed with determination and confidence.

Su Chang stood awkwardly to the side. He had originally wanted to enjoy the gossip a little longer, but he hadn't expected the controversy to spread so quickly. He could only cough twice, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere, and said, "Ahem! Auntie, I've never seen her in person, so I don't know anything. What can you tell from a photo?" He secretly groaned, thinking to himself, "I can't take the blame for this, Peach Mom."

Hearing Su Chang's words, Lan Caiping became even more smug and said, "Did you hear that? Xue Sumei, our Weiwei is a yoga teacher. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a great figure and a great temperament." Her face was beaming with pride, as if she were showing off to Xue Sumei.

Seeing this, Xue Sumei became even more resentful. She frowned and said, "What's so great about being a yoga teacher? My Taozi is a hotel manager, much more capable than your Weiwei."

Su Chang watched the two middle-aged women arguing endlessly and felt helpless. What were they arguing about? Why didn't they just bring their daughters to me? But he didn't dare to say it directly.

That evening, Su Chang went to the hotel to rest. Recalling the argument between her old best friends Lan Caiping and Xue Sumei that morning, she couldn't help but chuckle. Lan Weiwei was probably even more formidable than her mother, Lan Caiping, while Yang Tao was an exception. Later, both of them gave her their daughters' contact information, and Xue Sumei even suggested she try to bump into them. Thinking of Yang Tao's ordeal in the story, Su Chang shook her head helplessly.

Just then, Su Chang's phone rang. Upon seeing the caller ID, he was filled with disbelief. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and after confirming he wasn't mistaken, a smile appeared on his lips as he answered the phone.

However, as soon as the call connected, I was stunned by the shouting on the other end.

Chen Nanxing: "Su Chang, you bastard!"

Xu Hongdou: "Su Chang, you bastard!"

Chen Nanxing: "Su Chang, you big scumbag!"

Xu Hongdou: "Su Chang, you big scumbag!"

······

Su Chang was speechless. He knew Chen Nanxing was teaching Xu Hongdou to curse him, and it was obvious the two of them had drunk quite a bit at some bar. He secretly prayed that he could tell which bar it was; it was dangerous for two women to drink so much at a bar! But after listening for a while, he still didn't hear the DJ announce the bar's name, so Su Chang had no choice but to interrupt them.

"Alright, Nanxing, Hongdou, which bar are you at?" Su Chang asked cautiously.

"What are you doing, Su Chang, you bastard? We're right here at the Workers' Stadium. If you dare come any closer, I'll castrate you," Chen Nanxing immediately threatened.

Then, the sound of Chen Nanxing and Xu Hongdou arguing came from the other side.

Xu Hongdou: "Nanxing, we agreed not to tell him."

Chen Nanxing: "Hongdou, what are you afraid of? I'm here. If that bastard dares to come, I'll castrate him."

Hearing Chen Nanxing's murderous words, Su Chang felt a chill run down his spine and shivered. He inwardly groaned, wondering what to do. However, he dared not hang up the phone. While listening to the curses of the two on the other end, he quickly went out, hailed a taxi, and rushed towards the Workers' Stadium.

Upon arriving at the Workers' Stadium bar street, Su Chang was immediately at a loss, as there were simply too many bars. Fortunately, the phone call hadn't ended, and he could still hear the DJ's voice on the other end. So, Su Chang went from bar to bar, finally finding the two women, who were quite drunk, at the seventh bar.

Su Chang originally wanted to go up and drag Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing away, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be good for Xu Hongdou to vent and get drunk. So he found a seat at the bar not far away, ordered a cocktail, and kept a close eye on the two women, afraid that something might happen to them. They drank like this until eleven o'clock.

The two women were clearly drunk. At this moment, a chubby middle-aged man wearing a thick gold chain walked up to their booth. Because the bar was too noisy, he said something, but it was probably to offer them a toast.

Chen Nanxing frowned and said impatiently, "Go away, we don't want to drink with you!"

The middle-aged man persisted, saying, "Don't be so rude, beautiful, how about we have a drink together?"

Xu Hongdou rolled her eyes and said irritably, "I'm not interested. Go find someone else!"

The middle-aged man still hadn't left, continuing to talk. Suddenly, Chen Nanxing struggled to his feet, picked up the glass of wine in front of him, and splashed it at the middle-aged man with lightning speed and force. He shouted angrily, "Aren't you annoying me?!"

Upon seeing this, Su Chang was immediately startled and rushed over.

When Su Chang approached from behind the middle-aged man, the man raised his hand to slap Chen Nanxing. Su Chang, already seething with anger that morning, erupted in fury upon seeing the man about to attack. He kicked the man away, yelling, "I'll f*** yourself!"

Because Su Chang's kick was quite powerful, the middle-aged man flew directly onto the adjacent booth table, spilling a lot of drinks and causing a scream.

At that moment, the music in the bar stopped, and the lights came on.

Chen Nanxing snapped out of her daze and looked at Su Chang with a hint of surprise and gratitude in her eyes. She knew that if it weren't for Su Chang, that fat man would have slapped her across the face.

Xu Hongdou also noticed Su Chang in front of her. Although she didn't really want to see Su Chang, she felt a sense of security she had never felt before because Su Chang was there.

Both of their eyes welled up with tears. Xu Hongdou pouted, trying her best not to cry, and remained silent.

Su Chang looked at the two women with a pained expression on his face and asked gently, "Are you alright?"

Just then, the middle-aged fat man who had just been sent flying came back, and a number of people stood behind him, who were obviously his friends (lackeys).

The middle-aged fat man glared angrily at Su Chang, his facial muscles twitching slightly with rage, his eyes revealing ferocity and threat: "Kid, what do you mean? You dare to lay a hand on Brother Biao? You don't want to stay in Kyoto anymore, do you?"

Chapter Ninety-Three: Unexpected Situation

Su Chang didn't even glance at him, a slight smirk playing on his lips: "Get lost! Don't make me hit you again." His voice was cold and firm, as if declaring his disregard for the middle-aged fat man.

Seeing Su Chang's arrogance, the middle-aged fat man's anger grew even stronger. He couldn't stand being ignored by such a young man, so he waved his hand and shouted viciously, "Go get him! Just don't kill him. I'll take responsibility if anything happens." His eyes were full of violence and arrogance, as if he was showing off his awesomeness to Su Chang.

Su Chang couldn't stand anyone being more pretentious than him. A hint of provocation flashed in his eyes, and his smile became even more contemptuous. He directly confronted the group and engaged them in combat. His movements were agile and powerful, each punch and kick carrying a fierce momentum.

No way! With his indestructible body and master-level fighting skills, how could a few drunk punks compare? He took them down with just a few punches and kicks, leaving only the middle-aged fat man standing there dumbfounded.

Then, seeing Su Chang walking towards him, the middle-aged fat man's face instantly turned pale. His eyes were filled with fear as he kept backing away, shouting, "You brat, don't come any closer! I'm with Brother Fei at the Workers' Stadium. If you dare touch me, Brother Fei won't let you off the hook!"

"Is that so?" Su Chang sneered, his voice filled with sarcasm, as if mocking the middle-aged fat man's overestimation of his abilities. His eyes revealed a firmness and confidence; how could he possibly be threatened by a nobody?

Su Chang kicked the middle-aged fat man away again, then turned around and walked to Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing without even glancing back. His expression softened, and his eyes were full of concern: "Let's go, I'll take you back."

The two women nodded slightly, a strange emotion flickering in their eyes. They knew this wasn't the time for them to throw a tantrum.

But as soon as they stood up, they became unsteady. Su Chang had no choice but to help the two women and quickly walk towards the door. He was afraid that there would be more and more trouble later, and it would be bad if the two women got hurt again.

But things didn't go as planned. Just as Su Chang helped the two women to the door, a dozen men wielding sticks blocked their way like fierce demons, while the security guards stayed far away, not daring to approach.

Su Chang's heart tightened. He knew this group of people were not to be trifled with, so he had to stop and put Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing in an empty booth to avoid them being accidentally hurt later.

At that moment, a burly man with a fleshy face and a potbelly, who looked somewhat similar to the middle-aged fat man from before, picked his nose and swaggered out from behind the crowd. His arrogant demeanor made it seem as if the world was under his control.

"Kid, you're pretty arrogant! You even dared to hit my brother, Dafei's brother." The pot-bellied man pointed at Su Chang, his face full of arrogance.

Looking at the pot-bellied man, Su Chang couldn't help but find it somewhat laughable. He couldn't help but feel that the man was putting on an act, probably learning it from Hong Kong movies. But didn't he realize what kind of society this was? Did he think Kyoto was comparable to any small island?

Su Chang retorted irritably, "What are you pretending to be, some kind of gangster? This is a society governed by law. He dared to harass my woman, so it's only right that I teach him a lesson. A good dog doesn't block the way. If you know what's good for you, get out of my way!"

Dafei frowned slightly, looking at Su Chang with an unfriendly expression, thinking to himself: This kid doesn't seem like a good person, I have to be careful.

"Brother, stop with the formalities and just give me your name. Let's see if you have any face to be arrogant around here at the Workers' Stadium," Dafei said, trying to appear calm.

Su Chang curled her lip, feeling disdain for these people who wanted to get by in society, thinking they were just plain crazy.

"Alright, stop babbling on. You wouldn't know anyway. Just tell me what you want. I'm waiting to go home."

"Heh! See that? Pretty arrogant, huh?" Dafei laughed in anger upon hearing Su Chang's words. He turned around and winked at the dozen or so people behind him, and a blond-haired guy who thought he was pretty good rushed towards Su Chang like a hungry tiger.

"Kid, you dare mess with our Brother Fei? You'd better lie down now." The blond-haired man thought his attack was a sure kill and a smug smile appeared on his face.

However, in Su Chang's eyes, Huang Mao's movements were like a slow-motion performance. He shook his head helplessly, then kicked Huang Mao with lightning speed.

Huang Mao felt a tremendous force strike him, and his body was involuntarily sent flying, crashing heavily onto the bar counter before falling to the ground, unable to get up.

"All of you, get him!" Dafei's face darkened further after seeing Huang Mao being kicked away. He knew he'd met his match today and had to go all out.

Upon hearing Dafei's command, the crowd brandished their clubs and charged at Su Chang. Su Chang dodged the attacks skillfully, simultaneously striking and kicking his enemies, knocking them to the ground one by one.

His movements were fluid and graceful, each move brimming with power and skill. Throughout the fight, Su Chang's gaze remained firm and calm; his only thought was to quickly eliminate this group of scum so he could escort Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing home.

Dafei watched anxiously from the side, sweat beading on his forehead. He thought to himself, "That damned Biaozi, if he weren't my own brother, I would have beaten him to death. This time, I've really bitten off more than I can chew."

"Stop!" Dafei's voice trembled slightly; he dared not continue. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he inwardly groaned. Not only would he have to pay a lot of medical bills today, but if the beating continued, his face would probably be swollen like a pig's head. How could he ever show his face in the Workers' Stadium area again?

Upon hearing Dafei's shout, the few hesitant underlings felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly hid behind Dafei like rabbits.

Su Chang looked at their disheveled appearance, his lips twitching. He thought to himself: This group of people have such little guts, yet they try to emulate others and get out and about. I really don't know how Da Fei managed to get them to where they are today.

Dafei was also furious. He cursed inwardly: "You guys are always the fastest at eating and drinking, but when it comes to fighting, you guys run faster than rabbits. You even pushed me to the front. Do you think I can beat you? What a bunch of useless trash!" But now was not the time to teach them a lesson. He had to deal with Su Chang's matter first.

Dafei took out about ten thousand yuan from his wallet and handed it to Su Chang, bowing and scraping as he said, "Sir, I was blind today and didn't recognize your greatness. Please be lenient. This is just a small token of my appreciation. What do you think about this matter..." His face was full of fawning smiles, and his eyes revealed a hint of ingratiation.

Looking at Da Fei in front of him, Su Chang couldn't help but think more highly of him. He thought to himself: This guy is quite flexible. Right now, he just wants to get Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing home as soon as possible.

Su Chang didn't take Da Fei's money. Instead, he casually pushed Da Fei's hand away and said with a disdainful look, "Alright, that's enough. I'm leaving now. You can handle the rest yourself." After saying that, he turned and walked towards Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing.

Seeing that Su Chang really didn't intend to hold it against him, Da Fei felt relieved. He smiled broadly and said, "Thank you! Sir, you're so kind. I won't bother you today. Next time, next time we meet, I'll definitely treat you to a good meal." Da Fei knew that Su Chang was the kind of person who would never add him on the phone, so he didn't bother to make things difficult for her.

Su Chang simply waved his hand, then helped the two women toward the door. However, just as he turned around, Da Fei suddenly shouted from behind, "Biaozi, stop!"

It turned out that the middle-aged fat man from before had somehow gotten into hiding in the crowd behind Su Chang. Seeing his brother arrive, he had originally planned to wait until they beat Su Chang to a pulp before showing off, but he hadn't expected Su Chang to be so fierce. His brother hadn't even managed to subdue Su Chang and was still flattering him. Enraged, he pulled out a dagger and, taking advantage of Su Chang turning around, stabbed Fang.

Upon hearing the sound, Su Chang was startled. He instinctively activated his indestructible body and tightly protected Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing in his arms.

When the dagger touched Su Chang's lower back, there was no sound of the dagger entering flesh, but instead a "clink" sound. The dagger broke. This made Biaozi and everyone else at the scene gasp involuntarily. Was Su Chang even human?

At this moment, Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing also realized what had happened. They stared at (Li Qianhao) Su Chang with tense expressions, wondering where he was injured and how serious it was. Their eyes were red and tears were streaming down their faces.

Su Chang simply patted their heads and smiled gently, "Don't worry, I'm fine." After saying that, he turned his head away, his face immediately darkening. He hadn't expected this fat man to be so despicable.

"You have some nerve! You actually dared to use a knife!" Su Chang roared, his body reacting swiftly as he kicked the fat man in the stomach. The fat man screamed, spitting out blood like a small fountain, and collapsed to the ground.

Su Chang's face turned as cold as ice, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He knew he had to teach this fat man a lesson today, otherwise who knew how many more people would be harmed by this bastard.

Seeing this, Dafei inwardly groaned; he hadn't expected things to escalate to this point. He rushed over, trying to stop Su Chang.

"Brother, don't be impulsive, let's talk this out..." Dafei's voice carried a hint of pleading.

However, Su Chang ignored him completely. He shook off Da Fei and continued walking towards the fat man. The fat man, seeing Su Chang's gaze, was filled with terror. He disregarded his own bleeding and tried to get up and run away, but Su Chang was too fast. Before he could even stand, Su Chang stomped on him.

Chapter Ninety-Four: Compromise

"Today I'll show you what happens when you lay a knife on someone!" Su Chang's voice was icy cold. He raised his foot and stomped hard on the fat man's hand. Just then, Da Fei pounced on the fat man, grabbed Su Chang's foot, and pleaded, "Sir, please have mercy. If you have any problems, take them out on me! He's my only younger brother."

Su Chang looked at Da Fei with some surprise. He hadn't expected Da Fei to go to such lengths for his younger brother. He looked at Da Fei coldly and said, "Da Fei, I believe you saw what happened to your brother today. Do you think you can resolve this with just a few words?"

"Sir, just tell me what you want me to do?" Dafei didn't explain much at this point and simply let Su Chang decide his fate.

"What do you want me to do?" Su Chang sneered twice, a sly glint in his eyes. "Don't worry, I won't tell you what to do or what to do to him. I'm a law-abiding citizen. Can I call the police?" His lips curled up slightly, revealing a sense of confidence and disdain.

Dafei was about to stop him, but then seemed to remember something, a hint of hesitation crossed his face, and he stopped. Su Chang, on the other hand, immediately took out his phone and quickly dialed the police.

Afterwards, he called Li Na again, his voice tinged with anxiety: "Li Na, come to Kyoto, something's happened here."

He briefly told Li Na what had happened. Li Na told him on the phone not to act impulsively, to wait for the police to arrive, and not to say anything yet. She told him to save the surveillance footage first, and that she would take the fastest flight to Kyoto to handle the situation.

Su Chang hung up the phone and ignored Da Fei and Biao Zi on the ground, believing they wouldn't dare run away. Turning around, he walked towards Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing, a concerned expression on his face.

"Are you all alright?" Su Chang's voice was full of worry.

Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing shook their heads repeatedly: "Su Chang, are you alright?" The two women spoke at the same time, and checked Su Chang's body at the same time to see if he was injured, their eyes full of concern.

No matter how Su Chang explained, it was no use. After the two checked, they found that Su Chang only had a hole in the back of his clothes and a white mark on his skin. Xu Hongdou and Chen Nanxing then relaxed, and Su Chang could only give a helpless bitter smile.

Just as Su Chang relaxed, the two women started asking him again if he had practiced some amazing kung fu. Su Chang smiled helplessly and could only tell the two women that he had indeed practiced kung fu, but it was just ordinary hard qigong, and that Biaozi's strength was too weak, which was why he was not injured.
