54: A palm, symmetrical on both sides
Three commercial vans successfully arrived at Sinan Mansions.
Manager Yang showed the reservation confirmation.
Over a dozen people successfully arrived at their dining location.
"Everyone must eat and drink to their heart's content today, or we won't get our money's worth."
Zhang Hao looked at the club members, joking with a smile.
"Boss Zhang, don't worry, I will absolutely eat enough to get my money's worth today."
The plump Azure Dragon patted his chest and said proudly.
"Boss Zhang, I haven't eaten my fill for three days just waiting for today; I'm definitely going to get my money's worth."
The robust White Tiger, the shy Vermillion Bird, and the honest Black Tortoise also said, smiling happily.
"Little sister, what do you want to eat? Should I get it for you, or do you want to go get it yourself?"
Jiang Chuan looked at the somewhat reserved Lin Xiaoxiao and asked softly.
"Second Brother, I'll go get it myself."
It was Lin Xiaoxiao's first time in such a high-end restaurant, and she inevitably felt a little nervous, but she didn't want Jiang Chuan's help. She planned to go personally to look at the various dishes, choose what she liked, and avoid wasting food.
"Alright then, let's go together."
Jiang Chuan smiled and followed Lin Xiaoxiao to the buffet area, where the two of them selected the food they liked.
Xu Jia was a master of waste, taking piles and piles of his favorite food, looking as if he were a savage who hadn't eaten in ages.
It took over ten minutes for everyone to select their dishes.
The entire table was immediately covered with all sorts of food, leaving the surrounding diners dumbfounded.
"Did a bunch of cavemen just come to the city?"
"These people are eating too much; I feel like I could eat all that food for a month."
"What the hell do you know? Being able to eat this much at a buffet is a blessing."
The surrounding people conversed softly.
"Dig in."
The dozen or so people, including Jiang Chuan, started immediately without hesitation, devouring their food like wolves, causing the nearby guests to feel their scalps tingle, scaring them away.
Jiang Chuan and the others naturally noticed the strange looks from the people around them, but not a single person cared.
They had paid, so they could eat however they wanted. More importantly, they were genuinely hungry. Could other people's stares be eaten as food? Since they couldn't, they focused on frantically wiping out the food in front of them.
"Second Brother, what else do you want to eat? I'll go get it for you."
Lin Xiaoxiao watched as the food on the table rapidly diminished, being eaten by everyone. Since the food in front of Jiang Chuan was mostly gone, Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and asked him.
"Anything is fine, little sister. You choose what to get."
Jiang Chuan smiled. He didn't have many demands regarding food; as long as he could fill his stomach, though delicious food was certainly better.
"Are you blind? Do you know this dress costs tens of thousands of yuan? Can you afford to pay for it?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was carrying food and hurrying back to the table when she suddenly slipped, bumping into a young, fashionable girl. The food stained the girl's dress, and the enraged young, fashionable girl immediately slapped Lin Xiaoxiao across the face and scolded her furiously.
"You damned bitch, you're courting death."
Xu Jia had finished eating and was sitting in his seat picking his teeth when he saw Lin Xiaoxiao get slapped by the young, fashionable girl. He immediately slammed the table and rushed furiously to Lin Xiaoxiao's side.
"You dare hit my little sister? You're courting death."
When Xu Jia rushed over, he saw Lin Xiaoxiao sobbing and apologizing, which made his heart ache. He immediately slapped the young, fashionable girl across the face in anger, and then comforted Lin Xiaoxiao.
Xu Jia's actions naturally caught Jiang Chuan's attention. Jiang Chuan also saw that Lin Xiaoxiao was being bullied, and his expression instantly turned dark as he quickly approached Xu Jia and Lin Xiaoxiao.
This cold aura caused the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees.
"How dare you hit me? Do you know who I am?"
The fashionable girl covered her face and roared angrily at Xu Jia.
"Slap."
Jiang Chuan had already arrived. Looking at the furious fashionable girl, he slapped her directly across the other side of her face, then looked at her coldly and said, "Now it's symmetrical."
"You guys just wait."
The fashionable girl was slapped again by Jiang Chuan, and tears streamed uncontrollably from her eyes. She glared furiously at Jiang Chuan and Xu Jia, then left in anger.
"Xiao Xiao, are you alright?"
Jiang Chuan asked Lin Xiaoxiao with concern.
"Second Brother, I'm fine. I accidentally bumped into that older sister; please don't make trouble for her."
Lin Xiaoxiao raised her head pitifully. The right side of her face, which had been slapped, was slightly swollen. She sobbed softly and spoke apologetically.
"It was wrong of her to hit you. Don't worry, I will handle this matter."
Jiang Chuan looked at Lin Xiaoxiao's slightly swollen face, his eyes growing colder, and he spoke these words frigidly.
Jiang Chuan was a person who valued kinship over logic.
If someone offended his family or friends, not even the King of Heaven could save them.
"Boss Jiang, is Xiao Xiao alright?"
"Old Jiang, I know some people here in the Magic City too. Should I give them a call?"
Zhang Hao and Manager Yang also walked over and asked with concern.
"We're fine. You guys go back to eating and drinking; don't let others spoil the mood. I'll take care of this."
Jiang Chuan heard their words, gave a slight laugh, and said dismissively.
"Alright then."
Zhang Hao knew Jiang Chuan's capabilities, and although he wasn't sure if they extended to the Magic City, since Jiang Chuan said so, everything should be fine.
"Honey, they were the ones who hit me. You must stand up for me."
The fashionable young girl returned at this moment, accompanied by several young men. These men were dressed in designer brands, clearly indicating they were not ordinary.
"Kid, did you guys hit my woman?"
The leading young man looked arrogant and unrestrained, challenging Jiang Chuan aggressively.
"Sir, Madam, I am the manager here. May I ask if there is anything I can do to resolve this for you?"
The commotion attracted the attention of the Sinan Mansions staff. Soon, a young manager in a suit quickly rushed over and respectfully asked Jiang Chuan and the other party.
"Get lost. You can't solve the problem here."
The arrogant young man glared fiercely at the manager and said with disdain.
The manager heard the arrogant young man's words, saw his impressive attire, realized he probably couldn't afford to offend them, and could only retreat subserviently before quietly calling the police.
"Kids, you two hit my woman. I won't make things too difficult for you. As long as you kneel and kowtow in apology to my woman, I'll let you off today."
The arrogant young man looked coldly at Jiang Chuan and Xu Jia, stating the conditions for letting them go.
