Chapter 191: Whoever Treats Me Badly, I Repay Double

Jiang Muye stepped back and returned to the sofa.

Li Ba breathed a quiet breath of relief. Hoo, does this mean we're reconciling?

But Li Ba realized he'd been too naive.

"Young Master Jiang, everything you asked us to buy has been bought!" Two bodyguards in black walked in.

Jiang Muye sat with his legs crossed, the corners of his mouth raised, looking down at Li Ba lazily and arrogantly. A bad premonition rose in Li Ba's heart.

"Then let him enjoy it properly. He has to finish every last bite."

Li Ba panicked.

The whole table was laid out with delicacies, but every single one of them was loaded with carbs!

Pan-fried soup dumplings, red bean buns, old Beijing fried sauce noodles, roujiamo, mutton paomo, malatang, sorghum steamed buns…

There was no escape.

As he scrambled and stumbled, trying to run away, the mighty black-clad bodyguards subdued him on the spot.

The bodyguards pinned Li Ba's arms and hoisted him into the air. No matter how he struggled, it was useless. He was pressed straight down onto the sofa across from Jiang Muye.

"Where do you think you're running off to?" Jiang Muye rested his hand on his chin and said meaningfully, "A dinner I went to such trouble to arrange—how could I let you stand me up?"

Li Ba shuddered.

He seemed to see a demon descending.

"Are you going to eat it yourself, mm, or shall I feed you?" Jiang Muye picked up a piping-hot pan-fried bun and held it to Li Ba's lips.

Li Ba could already feel the searing steam coming at him. A moment later, the bun was stuffed into Li Ba's mouth in one bite.

It was hot, so hot!

Especially when the soup inside burst as he bit down, it ran straight down his throat.

Li Ba felt like his throat couldn't take the scalding.

He spurted meat juice, coughing violently, and threw up the chewed remains. Eyes red, he clawed at his throat, retching.

Jiang Muye watched Li Ba with indifferent eyes.

"I told you, I can throw a pebble and crush you to death. From the moment you provoked me, you should've been ready to burn together with me."

Li Ba wept and wailed. He dropped to his knees and began kowtowing to Jiang Muye. "I was wrong, boohoo, please let me off this once, I won't do this kind of thing again."

"Again?" Jiang Muye's brows furrowed.

"No no no, there won't be a next time, I've already been made to suffer miserably, just give me a way out!" Li Ba regretted it desperately.

But Jiang Muye sneered mockingly. "You brought it on yourself."

He snapped his fingers. "I'll repay anyone who treats me well double, and of course, anyone who treats me badly gets it back double too."

A moment later, the bodyguards started dragging Li Ba up and barked, "Eat!"

Li Ba was now a mess of snot and tears. Terrified into submission, he could only stuff things frantically into his mouth.

Originally, all these things had been delicacies to him, but now they were tribulations. After eating a mountain of food, Li Ba's belly was stretched to the limit. Nauseous, he covered his mouth and threw up.

Hearing the retching from the bathroom, Jiang Muye wrinkled his brow in disgust.

He hadn't really intended to make Li Ba finish everything—he just wanted Li Ba to suffer a little.

Now that Li Ba had learned his lesson, he had no interest in wasting any more time on him.

This time, he had to turn the crisis at Jiang's Snacks around.

Inside the supermarket, the staff were taking all the Jiang's Snacks down from the shelves.

Then the supermarket manager saw it.

Without another word, the manager stopped the employee. "Don't take them down, put them all back right now, and the Jiang's Snacks display area is way too small!!! It'll sell out in no time!"

The employee was dumbfounded. "What? Didn't Jiang's Snacks get boycotted over that scandal?"

"Haven't you seen the news! Jiang's Snacks has already cleared things up. They even posted the whole factory production and packaging process and put up product test reports!"

The manager's words left the employee stunned. He pulled out his phone and took a look, and found that apart from the topic of Li Ba's tax evasion, the hot search was all about Jiang's Snacks' clarification.

Jiang's Snacks had even turned disaster into blessing—with the product test reports out, the food safety rating was extremely high, and there weren't excessive additives, which made everyone feel safer eating them.

After the employee put all the snacks back on the shelves, as soon as the supermarket opened, customers swarmed in and threw all the Jiang's Snacks into their shopping carts. It was utter madness—some even wanted to buy them by the box.

Sure enough, they sold out quickly.

By the time Jiang Muye finished everything and returned to the dorm, he found that all the beast roommates were gone.

Good grief, where did every last one of them go?

Dates?

Jiang Muye was baffled. Just as he was about to lower his head and make a phone call, he suddenly heard rustling footsteps outside.

"Ugh, I'm exhausted!"

After hearing Little White Dove's groan, Jiang Muye saw Little White Dove, Kai, and Old He come in carrying big and small bags. Judging by the packaging, they looked like they were from the supermarket.

"You guys went to the supermarket? Why'd you buy so much stuff, is the supermarket having a sale?" Jiang Muye asked curiously.

After all, the three of them normally wouldn't shop this crazily. What had happened?

In the end, Little White Dove said matter-of-factly, "We went to support you!" As he spoke, he started pulling open the supermarket plastic bags to show Jiang Muye. "Look, it's all your family's snacks."

Jiang Muye took a look—sure enough, every big and small bag was full of Jiang's snacks.

Kai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Jiang's Snacks is way too popular. I thought nobody would be buying, but a whole crowd came and fought over them."

Old He nodded vigorously. "They really are selling like crazy."

"What did you buy all this for?" Jiang Muye said carelessly. "I could've just given them to you."

The male lead is a bit darkened in this chapter—it's a character type I quite like. It's the kind where if you treat me well, I'll treat you doubly well, but if you treat me badly, I'll pay you back double. Clear on love and hate. Next chapter we return to the sweet dog food~
