Spiritual Recovery: Gamification of Reality

Chapter 104: The Neighbors Who Worried About Xu Bai

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Old Fu arrived very quickly.

He had run here.

After all, after Old Fu retired, he had been living in the old factory community. In his words, after moving out, he might have to raise a bunch of bodyguards or something.

Xu Bai looked at Old Fu, whose hair had turned white. When he ran over, he was still panting. He felt a little apologetic.

When the neighbors saw that the main character had arrived, they were instantly shocked.

“F*ck!

“Old Fu, you have to give us an explanation today!”

“Right!”

“My son is in the East District’s fire department!” “My daughter’s in UNEP.”

“My son-in-law is from the Bureau of Commerce.”

“If you don’t give us a satisfactory explanation today, we’ll give you an explanation in the afternoon!”

The neighbors were agitated and felt indignant for Xu Bai, who had an inexplicable expression.

In everyone’s words.

Old Factory Street would never let Xu Bai down.

After Old Fu arrived, he looked at the angry neighbors around him and felt apprehensive. He did not even dare to take a sip of water. He was afraid that the neighbors would call him and come to the five departments for a joint inspection in the afternoon. He hurriedly swore to the heavens to prove it. After a sincere explanation, the anger of the neighbors representing Old Factory Street to break off ties with him was finally appeased.

After receiving Old Fu’s assurance and Xu Bai’s repeated explanations, the neighbors reluctantly believed that this matter was very likely a mistake and gradually dissipated.

After a while.

Xu Bai looked at the neighbors who had stood up for him and left. He could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He looked at Old Fu, who had taken the yellow towel and was wiping the sweat off his forehead and apologized.

“I’m sorry, Fu.”

“It’s okay.”

Old Fu, who had resolved the “repossession crisis”, “in-law breakup crisis”, and

“joint inspection crisis of the five departments”, waved his hand and said to Xu Bai with a smile, “It’s your female disciple’s birthday tonight. Oh right, what’s her name again?”

Xu Bai was about to speak.

Old Huang, who was at the side, had already spoken first. “Su Meng, I heard from Old Bull that she’s a pretty good girl. Su Banking Group’s Su. Her mother is the current CEO of Su Banking Group.”

Xu Bai decided to shut up.

When they were waiting for Old Fu to come over, the neighbors had already spoken one after another. Not to mention that they already knew that Xu Bai was celebrating his disciple’s birthday tonight, they even pieced together Su Meng’s identity in their left and right sentences.

In fact…

There were some things that Xu Bai did not know yet.

For example, Su Meng’s mother was Su Ruyu, the current CEO of the Su Banking Group.

As for Su Meng’s father, although he did not know his name, his surname was definitely not Su.

As for why Su Meng’s surname was Su, the answer was obvious.

Also, Xu Bai knew that Su Meng needed the Essence Replenishing Pill because her innate foundation was damaged, but he did not know why Su Meng’s innate foundation was damaged.

However, Xu Bai had just found out.

A neighbor who was a Homeland agent before she retired said that Su Ruyu had been kidnapped once when she was pregnant. Although the kidnapping case was solved in less than an hour, the rescued Su Ruyu was shocked. By the time she was sent to the hospital, her amniotic fluid had already broken, causing Su Meng to go into premature labor.

Very few people knew about this. Homeland Security even ordered that this case be kept a secret.

The reason…

To put it this way.

On the second day after Su Ruyu gave birth to Su Meng, no, on the first night, the people from the city hall came to the door and canceled Su Meng’s parents’ marriage.

Xu Bai was also a little surprised.

Previously, he did not know much about Su Meng’s family background. After all, this was a private matter. Even if Su Meng did not say it, he was not a gossip king like Chen Shan.

However, after thinking about it, Xu Bai felt that it seemed to be true. According to Su Meng, Old Master Su appeared the most, followed by her uncle, Su Bancheng.

In Su Meng’s usual chat, her mother, Su Ruyu, had only appeared a handful of times, let alone her biological father whose name had been erased.

so…

The mastermind behind Su Ruyu’s kidnapping case was Su Meng’s father?

Hiss.

As expected of the noble circle.

What a mess.

When Xu Bai thought of this, he could not help but take a deep breath. At the same time, he was even more certain that he had not agreed to Su Meng’s birthday celebration. Instead, he had decided to celebrate her birthday alone after she was done.

Xu Bai knew that he could not go to that circle. Moreover, he did not want to squeeze in.

He did not want to be slapped in the face, nor did he want to be slapped in the face.

Old Fu listened to Old Huang’s words and nodded. “Su Yin…”

There was a pause.

Old Fu was slightly stunned. He blinked and looked up at Xu Bai. “Wait a minute, Su Banking Group, Su Meng? Tonight, Su Banking Group is holding a birthday party at Chaoyin Hotel in the central area?”

Xu Bai nodded.

“Right.”

“Hiss, then tonight you…”

“I promised Su Meng that I would celebrate her birthday alone tonight.”

Xu Bai immediately explained, “Therefore, I plan to reserve a seat at Old Bull’s place. After all, by the time she rushes over, it will probably be almost midnight. Your restaurant has already gotten off work.”

Old Fu shook his head. “It’s fine. I can get them to work overtime.”

Xu Bai quickly waved his hand. “There’s no need for that. Fu Manlou is already busy during the weekend. I’ll just go to Old Bull’s place and ask for a seat.” He looked at the time on his watch. “Alright, I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll go to

Old Bull’s place and ask him to leave some ingredients for me tonight. Don’t let

Old Bull lose evervthing when 1 20 over.”

With that,

Xu Bai reminded Old Huang not to forget his cake one last time. Then, he turned around and left the shop, walking toward Old Bull’s barbecue shop.

During the weekend, Old Bull’s barbecue shop was almost bursting at night. Similar to how some people would specialize in Laifu Manlou’s main shop, there were also people who would specially come here from other states just to eat Old Bull’s barbecue.

Soon.

Xu Bai disappeared from Old Fu and Old Huang’s sight.

Old Huang retracted his gaze and looked at Old Fu curiously. He began to gather information like a qualified community spy. “Old Fu, Chao Yin Hotel?”

Old Fu glanced at Old Huang and knew what he wanted to ask. He did not hide anything and said directly, “The Su Banking Group sent an invitation a few days ago. It’s Su Meng’s birthday banquet. Yesterday, someone from the Su

Banking Group gave me an invitation.”

Although he was in the food and beverage industry.

But…

Fu Manlou and the Su Banking Group had a big client cooperation agreement. When Fu Manlou was expanding in various cities in the various states of the Federation, funds and so on came in and out from the Su Banking Group.

Even when Fu Manlou entered Manzhou, the Su Banking Group relied on the excuse of providing funds for Fu Manlou to successfully open the first branch of the Su Banking Group in Manzhou.

He had no choice.

In the Federation, Manzhou was known to be xenophobic. It was impossible for outsiders to do business in Manzhou.

Fu Manlou was not an outsider to Manzhou.

After all, the initial name of Fu Manlou was precisely called “Fu Manlou”.

Fu was Old Fu’s blessing.

Barbarian… was his wife’s Barbarian.

After Old Fu finished speaking, his eyes flashed with gossip. “Old Huang, do you think Lil Bai and his female disciple…”

As he spoke.

Old Fu winked at Old Huang.

As the well-deserved and popular leader of the new era of the old factory community, Xu Bai had watched Old Fu and Old Huang grow up.

One could say that.

The reason why the old factory community had its current cohesion was because of Xu Bai, who had been anxious for justice since they were young and were willing to help others.

As the young people in the old factory community began to enter their marriage, Xu Bai, who had not made a move for a long time, although no one said anything, it was obvious that everyone saw it.

After all, although the legal age of marriage in the Federation was 18 years old, in the capital of Feng City, the legal age of marriage was 16 years old.

She was already 22 years old this year. After the next month, the 23-year-old Xu Bai would be considered a representative of a late marriage if he still did not get married.

What?

The nickname of Xu Bai in Feng City was Mr. In Demand?

Impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

Their Lil Bai had been anxious about justice since he was young. He was willing to help others and fight against injustice. He was a naturally good child. Such rumors must be because outsiders could not stand their Lil Bai. That was why they maliciously spread rumors and hurt him.

Old Yellow shook its head. “I don’t know, but this is Lil Bai’s first birthday celebration for a girl.’

Old Fu sighed. “Lil Bai is still doing this because of his sister. Back then, I secretly went to pay the medical fees. In the end, Lil Bai found out and returned it.”

Old Yellow pursed its lips. “Lil Bai is a good child…”

Before he could finish his sentence. A furious roar came from outside the door.

“F*cking Fu!”

Old Bull from the barbecue shop, who was holding a bunch of bamboo sticks in his hand, rushed into the kitchen of the cake shop aggressively. He accurately found Old Fu, who was gossiping. “Lil Bai finally celebrated the birthday of a girl. Are you just going to watch him bring the girl paper to my barbecue shop for a meal?”

Old Bull was very angry, but not at Xu Bai.

After all…

Xu Bai was celebrating the girl’s birthday, so Old Bull was very happy that he thought of his barbecue shop.

However, after Xu Bai left, Old Bull heard from the neighbors who had come to book seats that Xu Bai did not go to Old Fu’s place because he did not have money. He was instantly furious with Old Fu and ran over aggressively to settle the score with him.

Old Bull looked at Old Fu with heart-wrenching pain. “Old Fu, you can’t forget your roots even if your business grows big. If Lil Bai hadn’t discovered that your house was on fire back then, you guys… Just wait. The neighbors are already on their way.”

Old Fu was instantly dumbfounded.

The next second.

Only then did Old Fu suddenly realize that the number of neighbors who had gathered at the entrance of the cake shop to denounce him and ask him to give an explanation was only one-tenth of the number of neighbors in the old factory community. In other words..

“F*ck!”

“Come out!”

“Come out!”

Old Fu quivered and could not help but smile bitterly.
