45: Chapter 45 Oh dear, what a stroke of luck in love!

Just as the two were on the verge of fighting, Zhang Shan kicked that Xiaoliu away.

"How dare you cause trouble on someone else's turf? Who gave you the nerve?"

"Who are you supposed to be? Stop sticking your nose in other people's business and get lost!" Victor Anfei said arrogantly.

"Who I am doesn't matter. What matters is that this is someone else's territory, so it's unreasonable for you to be causing a scene here." Zhang Shan flexed his wrists.

"What, you want to fight? Xiaoliu, go beat him up." Victor Anfei ordered Xiaoliu.

Slap, slap, slap—the two exchanged a few blows. Xiaoliu was completely at a disadvantage. Within just a few moves, Xiaoliu had already been knocked to the ground.

"You, do you know who I am?"

"Of course I know who you are, Mr. Victor, right? How is your wife? How is her injury?" Zhang Shan said nonchalantly.

"You, how do you know my wife was beaten? Could it be that you are that Robinson? If so, then talk about finding something without even looking for it! I've been looking for you!" After speaking, Victor Anfei wanted to make a move.

"I'm flattered. I didn't expect the illustrious Victor Anfei to know the name of a nobody like me. It's truly my honor! But that is no reason for you to cause trouble at Skaff's doorstep. If you can't control your hands, don't blame me for not holding back."

"You, you're courting death." Victor Anfei was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Oh, what are you all doing at the door? May I join?" A woman with a graceful figure interrupted them. When she saw Zhang Shan, her eyes lit up slightly. Hmm, he's my type.

"Miss Xia, why are you here? It would be our honor if you wanted to join us."

Seeing Xia Wei arrive, Skaff was very surprised. He never expected that Miss Xia Wei, who was usually high above and someone he had to look up to, would actually help him out of a tight spot at this moment. What was going on? Did she want to collaborate with him?

When Victor Anfei saw Xia Wei, he instantly deflated. It was clear that this great beauty, Miss Xia, absolutely held a pivotal position in Zhili Country.

"Haha! Why would Miss Xia Wei come here?" Victor immediately started buttering her up.

"What, is this place Victor Anfei's territory? Your name isn't written here, is it? Do I need to report to you every time I come here?" Xia Wei frowned slightly.

"No, no, of course not. Big Sister Xia Wei can go wherever she wants. I'm just curious why Miss Xia Wei suddenly appeared here?"

"I'm here for the banquet! I heard Skaff was holding a banquet, and I was curious, so I came to take a look. Then I didn't expect to run into you all at the door. So I wanted to know what you were talking about that was more attractive than the food."

Skaff knew that Xia Wei was giving him a way out.

"Quick, quick, let's go inside. If we're any later, the food will get cold!" Skaff enthusiastically invited them into the private room.

Ever since Xia Wei appeared, Victor Anfei had become somewhat uneasy. The hand holding his chopsticks was even trembling.

That's right, he was afraid—afraid of the seemingly harmless Xia Wei.

"Skaff, I've been sitting here for a long time. Apart from Victor Anfei, Moriarty, and you, I don't know anyone else present. As the host, shouldn't you introduce them to me?"

"Hahaha, Miss Xia Wei is joking. Actually, I haven't had the chance to find out who these two young brothers brought by Moriarty are yet."

Moriarty, who was suddenly named, was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately spoke up.

"Haha, look at my brain. I actually forgot to introduce my new friends to everyone. This is Mr. Robinson. The one next to him is his brother, Mr. Otter."

Moriarty introduced them.

Xia Wei and Skaff understood clearly. Some things don't need to be stated too clearly. Since they could become friends with Moriarty, it showed that this person's strength should not be underestimated.

"Oh my, Skaff, you really are very extravagant. These dishes are truly a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate!" Xia Wei suddenly teased Skaff.

Skaff, having been called out, scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Heh, heh, heh, Skaff, um, thanks for the meal today." Victor Anfei suddenly said.

Skaff was stunned. He didn't expect Victor Anfei to pull this move suddenly.

"Haha, no need to thank me, this is what I should do. After all, I organized this, right? I definitely have to make sure you eat and drink well. Besides, it's a blessing I've cultivated for several lifetimes that Miss Xia could grace us with her presence."

Skaff said flawlessly.

"Then I'll head back first, I won't disturb you anymore." Victor waved his hand, and his subordinates left.

"Mr. Robinson, you are so handsome!" Xia Wei suddenly complimented Robinson.

When Zhang Shan heard this, he was actually a bit dumbfounded. After all, who starts complimenting someone for being handsome while eating? It didn't seem logical. But women, their thought processes are just like that—unpredictable.

"Thank you for the compliment, Miss Xia. I have self-awareness regarding my looks. I am unworthy of your praise." Zhang Shan replied seriously.

"You, you really don't understand romance at all. Do you know what I mean by saying this? It means I appreciate you. You, you fit my criteria for a partner." Xia Wei continued.

"Miss Xia, what virtue or ability do I have to catch your eye? But I'm a bit of a stubborn guy. I don't really understand romance, so saying these things to me is useless."

Xia Wei frowned tightly. She had already spoken to this extent, yet this man still wouldn't take the hint. Was he dense or just unwilling? She felt very unhappy.

Gu Nan was on the side, watching the drama unfold happily. Oh my! Shan Zi has encountered a romantic opportunity!

Skaff stood to the side, feeling slightly nervous. Because he could see that Xia Wei was already a bit unhappy from being rejected. He was afraid that this young lady would flip out in the next second.

Xia Wei pursed her lips.

"Robinson, the more you are like this, the more interested I am in you!" Although Xia Wei was smiling now, they all knew that if Zhang Shan rejected her again, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Then, Miss Xia, what do you want?" Zhang Shan was truly speechless. He came to eat a meal and encountered so many things.

"It's very simple, I just want to be friends with you!"

Xia Wei looked at Skaff and then at Gu Nan, signaling them with her eyes to leave first.

Receiving the eye signal, Skaff felt a wave of helplessness. It seemed this young lady wasn't planning to let Robinson off the hook.

Gu Nan was the type of person who loved to watch the drama unfold. Naturally, he understood Xia Wei's eye signal.

The two of them silently walked out.
