Bai Ye continued to say: “Yeah, yeah, I felt the same way. I almost peed out of scare.”
Little Stammer looked up at Su Mo. Realizing that Su Mo was also staring at him with a smile, he felt scared and suddenly hid behind a strong man.
Su Mo threw a cold look at Bai Ye, and Bai Ye shut up immediately. He could talk for hours in front of everyone except for Lawyer Su – when he was around, Bai Ye lost his tongue even if he had opened his mouth.
“This is the head of the cabaret, and he’s a good fighter. I met him when I was in jail. He’s a man of righteousness, named Big Mouth.”
Xing Biao introduced a muscular man and pat his shoulder as if they were good friends.
The name fit the man exactly. His big mouth looked like the mouth of a catfish when he laughed.
Su Mo smiled at him.
“This is Nine Fingers, and he is fast on the handwork. Now he gives up the old business and works at the cabaret. He saved us when we were in jail. The prison was on fire, and if he hadn’t opened the door, we’d all be dead.”
A quick-witted boy was introduced, who was wearing a cap backwards, with a naive and lovely smile. He had a baby face and looked young, but he had only nine fingers. Probably that was how he got his nickname. It was not hard to guess what he did before – maybe a thief, as he was neat-handed.
“Lawyer Su wouldn’t despise us, would you? Nearly every one of us had been in jail, including me myself, Big Mouth, and Fourth Cripple. We have all developed a good relationship in the same cell.”
Fourth Cripple came along, limping, but looking honest.
“Fourth Cripple is a renowned hatchet man. His legs may not look good, but when he fights, simply one kick with his leg would break an enemy’s ribs.”
“Lawyer Su, you are not like us. We are a bit of boors, so sometimes we speak bluntly; I hope you wouldn’t mind.”
Su Mo still smiled.
“As the saying goes, heroes are not judged by their family background or past experience. Since we are now sitting together, then we are good friends. Compared with you all, I have known Xing Biao for only a short time. I believe that the best relationship in the world can be in any form – it doesn’t matter whether you are comrades, inmates, or classmates. No matter under what circumstances do you meet, such relationship is a symbol of recognition for each other. In the future, we will be a family, and families do not care if their members had been in jail or not, nor would they care if their members speak bluntly. Two heads are better than one. Xing Biao wouldn’t have made such accomplishments without help from brothers like you all. It’s natural that people make mistakes, especially when they are young. Now that you’ve got out of jail, you can start all over. There is no need to have a sense of inferiority, and stop saying things like ‘I am not like you.’ After Xing Biao and I get married, we are all brothers. Even if without his introduction, I’m glad to get acquainted with strong and honest men like you.”
Xing Biao said, “Darling, what you said is exactly my thoughts.”
Su Mo continued, “I’m a lawyer. You can call me if you have any legal issues.”
“Thank you, Lawyer Su.”
At first, these people thought Su Mo as cold-blooded, arrogant and not easy to get along with. However, they all felt as if they built a closer bond with Su Mo after this conversation. He was absolutely right about there was no need to have any feelings of inferiority. It didn’t matter what they did before, where they knew each other, or whether they were thieves, hatchet men or had committed economic crimes. What mattered was that they now had proper jobs.
Even Little Stammer agreed with it and straightened his back.
“We are now brothers. We are a family.” Xing Biao was so proud of Su Mo. He thought Su Mo talked briefly at any occasions, and he didn’t like to talk much, or even couldn’t talk properly. Yet today, he found out that his fiancée was quite good at talking and was very eloquent. What he said was more than comforting and soothing. Before this conversation, he merely admired Su Mo. At this moment, he felt like he had a more intimate connection with Su Mo. She made him feel so proud. Everyone was curious about Su Mo, now they all knew how excellent Su Mo was. When they praised Su Mo, Xing Biao felt honored as well.
With just a few words, Su Mo got these people’s support, stabilized his position, and impressed them most favorably.
A good wife always made a man feel proud.
Xing Biao thought to himself, “You are the good wife, honey, you are my treasure. Why did I swear to marry you? I would be a fool if I do not marry a person as brilliant as you.”
Bai Ye held up the beer glass and said, “Needless to say anything more. All is in the beer. Lawyer Su, this is the first time we met, but I already have the feeling that you are an honest and true friend. Let me propose a toast to you.” In Bai Ye’s mind, Su Mo was exactly what a big sister-in-law should be like. Just like the emperor receiving his ministers, in the beginning, Su Mo showed an arrogant attitude and dominated the group. Then he made a speech that excited and convinced people. Such great verbal trick! No wonder he worked as a lawyer. Without much efforts, he was acknowledged by all that she was the big sister-in-law, respectable, capable and kind.
