C15 All of You Shut Up!
Taking a few deep breaths to calm himself down, Ye Hong then walke towards the entrance of the Midnight Snack bar.
"Excuse me, could you please let me in?"
The few burly men immediately widened their vicious eyes and muttered, "The shop has been reserved by us today. A little brat like you should just go play somewhere else."
"I'm the son of the owner of this shop."
"Huh?"
The men froze for a moment. Unable to think of any reason for the boy to lie to them, they waved their hands impatiently and said, "Hurry and go in!"
Ye Hong passed through the suffocating crowd and entered the store.
However, the situation inside the shop seemed to be different from what he had orginally imagined.
The initial scene he was worried about did not actually take place.
Within the rather small restaurant, a bald man was knocking on the table impatiently as he said, "I'm talking about what happened to you guys. Today, I brought my brothers here to support you, yet you're telling me that you can't serve us the beef noodles?"
Ye Hong recognized the burly man and remembered that he was the one who ordered several bowls of beef noodles to take away yesterday.
Opposite him, his parents, Ye Xiao and Ann Xiaoying bowed their heads with a smile as they said, "Dear customer... that bowl of noodles was, in fact, invented by our son. He's the only one who knows how to make the exact dish you're looking for..."
"Bullshit!" The burly man slammed the table with all his might, causing a tremor to erupt throughout the store. "Do you two think I'm an idiot?
"Based on my years of experience in eating noodles, I can guarantee that only an experienced chef who has been immersed in the culinary arts for decades would be able to cook such delicious beef noodles!"
Standing back up on his two feet, he stated menacingly to the pale-faced Ye Xiao and Ann Xiaoying, "We refuse to leave the store until you serve us those beef noodles today!"
"Yeah! We're not leaving!"
The few burly men outside chimed in, scaring Ye Xiao and Ann Xiaoying out of their wits.
At that moment, they suddenly noticed Ye Hong, who stood at the entrance of the store, and immediately rushed over as if welcoming their lord and savior.
"Son! You're finally back!"
"Dear customer, my son has finally returned. I'll get him to make the beef noodles for you immediately!"
After saying that, his parents kept making signs to Ye Hong, hinting that he could not afford to offend these people, before hurrying back into the kitchen to prepare the beef noodles.
As for the burly men, their gazes — full of suspicions and doubts — immediately fell upon Ye Hong.
"Did you really make those delicious beef noodles last night?" The bald man asked with an expression of disbelief.
After understanding the sequence of events, Ye Hong could not help but sigh a breath of relief.
Instead of seeking revenge, the group of intimidating men were simply rushing over to get their hands on the beef noodles that he himself created.
So it was all just a false alarm.
Having his culinary skills recognized to such a degree, he could not help but feel a great sense of pride.
However, the scene of his parents trembling before this group of people caused him to fume in rage.
His face turned cold as he said lightly, "So what if I am?"
When Ye Xiao and Ann Xiaoying saw Ye Hong's attitude, their souls almost floated out of their bodies as they were just about to rush forward to cover up Ye Hong's mouth.
How could my very own son have such an attitude towards these men? One could tell with a single glance who these people are, yet he still dares to talk back to them?
When the group of men saw Ye Hong's fearless attitude, they immediately clenched their fists and shouted, "Stinking brat, what kind of attitude is this!"
"These few brothers come here to support your store, yet you still aren't grateful for our kindness. How dare you disrespect us in such a manner? Are you looking to stay in the hospital for the next few days?"
The group of men fell into a frenzy of ridicule and even began cursing.
Ye Xiao and Ann Xiaoying wore expressions of anxiety and panic, not expecting the situation to escalate to this point.
"All of you, shut the hell up!"
The bald man — clearly the leader of these burly men — silenced the entire shop with a single roar.
Then, he smiled at Ye Hong and said in a surprisingly polite manner, "Little brother, don't lower yourself to the same level as them. Since we've been waiting here for quite a while now, they must have gotten rather impatient. Please show some empathy and forgive them. Why don't you go back into the kitchen to cook us some noodles?"
