Seeing Luo Chao and another person approaching, the woman's eyes showed a clear trace of panic.

"Big brother, I'm just running a small business, there's really nothing worth taking..."

"We're here to eat, Auntie, what's the matter? We'll pay you." Luo Chao was stunned. What was happening? Had he become someone others were so afraid of?

The woman felt a wave of embarrassment; there were few good students coming out these days. She originally thought they intended to threaten her, but didn't expect them to be so polite.

"Auntie thought you guys were the school bullies, it's okay now. Auntie will cook for you, you didn't get a chance to have breakfast before school, right?"

Luo Chao nodded, he had eaten a little. But he came here because he was craving some more.

"Bring some beer, Auntie." Li Dacheng quickly said, as if afraid his beer might get taken away.

The woman glanced at Luo Chao, as if asking whether he wanted some.

"Just give him a can; I don't need any. It wouldn't be good if something happened at school later." Luo Chao wasn't afraid of drinking, but he was still a student and needed to act like one.

The woman nodded, said nothing more, and started grilling the food. The aroma was ordinary, but still refreshing.

"How is it, boss? It's not bad here, right?"

Luo Chao nodded. It was indeed not bad. Not excellent, but not bad either. He was quite satisfied, though he thought a bit of creativity might improve business.

"These five skewers are on the house. Finish and head to school, don't make your teachers worry." Luo Chao was a good student, the woman couldn't help but remind him.

"Mom, let me help you." A girl's voice came from outside, sounding very familiar, like he'd heard it somewhere before.

"Zhong Liu." Li Dawei looked at her in surprise.

She also noticed them, seemingly unable to believe her eyes as she looked at Luo Chao.

"Why are you here for a meal?"

Zhong Liu directly questioned him.

"How can you say that? I'm just here for a meal. After school? Come and help quickly." The woman had an apologetic smile, pulling her daughter to work.

Luo Chao felt awkward, not expecting such a coincidence, recalling the time he helped Jiang Yuanyuan with an explanation and feeling embarrassed.

"How can you treat a guest like that? Who is he anyway, that he irritates you so much?" The woman curiously asked her daughter.

For someone to irritate her daughter so much, he couldn't be a good person, but this person seemed quite polite. Could there be a misunderstanding?

Zhong Liu blushed.

"Mom, what are you saying? Your daughter isn't good enough for him! He's the one I've told you about who saved us several times."

The woman thought Luo Chao had wronged her daughter, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be her daughter's life saver.

"Why are you standing there? Since he's your savior, treat him well. You're such a silly girl..."

Her daughter's behavior left her feeling very angry; didn't she know what to do in such a situation?

"Does it not matter with Dad?" Zhong Liu curiously asked. If her mother returned to her father, everything would be fine, why make such efforts?

"No need, I want to live with you. Besides, what is he? Is being rich so great? I can support myself; I don't need him."

Zhong Liu stared blankly at her mother, not knowing what to say. But this was right, her mother could support herself.

"I also want to be as strong as my mother in the future." Zhong Liu silently vowed, while starting to cook barbeque for Luo Chao and the others.

"Thank you for saving my daughter so many times, this meal is on the house; there's more to come, take your time."

Luo Chao was stunned, so this woman was Zhong Liu's mother?

"Auntie, please don't be so polite, how could we accept this? You're just running a small business." Zhou Nan directly refused; if he accepted, could he still call himself a man?

"Auntie can still afford this, eat up, no need to be polite."

The woman hadn't finished speaking when a fearful voice came from behind her, followed by her daughter's frightened screams.

"Shall we take action, boss?" A man asked the one behind him.

The man appeared very angry, but his eyes were on Luo Chao, as if he wanted to carve Luo Chao into his memory. If his daughter liked such a man, then he would see if this man could protect his daughter.

"Auntie, you're so generous, treating someone to barbecue. Don't you know what happens when you haven't paid us the protection fee?"

The man nudged his chin, implying that if she didn't hand over the money today, her daughter would be taken.

"How can you do this? It's illegal." Zhong Liu said angrily, how could anyone treat people like this?

"Call the police? What a joke, do you think the police will help you? Really, if so, just let me enjoy myself now."

Zhong Liu had a great figure, all the right curves in all the right places. Especially the charm between her gestures made the man unable to resist.

Such a beauty not being his was a real pity. The woman wanted to rush up but was held back by several men, obviously not planning to let her pass.

"You can't do this, my daughter is still a child, don't do this, eat whatever you want but please spare my daughter."

The woman was stunned by the scene. Originally, she thought she could support herself. But now she realized she couldn't even protect her daughter.

Unable to protect her own daughter, was it true that without him, nothing could be done? Or were these matters arranged by him?

Jiang Yuanyuan couldn't believe how troublesome it had become?
