The world begins with shameless people

2113 North Wallace Street.

After hearing what Veronica said, Kevin's eyes widened in shock.

Resign? Break up with Ding Xiu?

Are you kidding me?
Ding Xiu owns 49% of the Elibor Bar. Elibor can have the business it has today because of all the rich people brought by Ding Xiu!
Veronica can earn so much money thanks to Ding Xiu, otherwise, do you really think a waitress can earn that much?
In this way...

Stay away from Ding Xiu?

What else can they have after they move away?
How long can that little deposit last?
And then go back to the way we lived before?

"Wei, what are you talking about?" Kevin took a deep puff of his cigarette, looked at Veronica seriously, and said, "First of all, what you said was all said unilaterally by Fiona. We are not sure whether it is true or not."

"Secondly, even if it's true, so what? What does it have to do with us?"

Veronica was shocked. She didn't expect Kevin to say that. "Why is it none of our business? If it's true, then Ding Xiu is a criminal. How can we have anything to do with him? What if he is arrested and the police think we are accomplices? What if we provoke him one day and he hurts us?"

Kevin took two more puffs of his cigarette and said, "Wei, calm down and don't scream."

"Where do you get so many chances?"

"We have been with Ding Xiu for more than a year. He has taken good care of us and has never hurt us!"

"Even if what Fiona said is true... Ding Xiu is only targeting the Gallagher family!"

"I'm telling you the truth, how many people hate those Gallaghers? Those Gallaghers deserve to be punished!"

The words came out.

Veronica was completely shocked. She stood up suddenly and said, "Kevin, what the f**k?"

Kevin was still sitting there. He looked up at Veronica, then shook his head helplessly.

After being together for so many years, Kevin knew very well how timid Veronica was.

In the past, after compromising, there wasn’t much loss, so he just compromised. But this time… Kevin didn’t want to compromise.

"Wei, sit down, calm down, think carefully about what you are saying, and think carefully about how much Ding Xiu has done for us, and then we can talk," Kevin said in a deep voice.

Faced with Kevin's uncompromising attitude, Veronica was stunned for a moment, then sat down obediently.

That's how their relationship works.

When the two of them quarrel, Veronica habitually takes a strong stance, and most of the time, Kevin will compromise immediately and the problem will be solved.

But if Kevin doesn't compromise, Veronica will get nervous, and her so-called strong attitude will disappear in an instant.

After all, Veronica is essentially a coward, and the reason why she is so strong... to put it bluntly, is that she is a bully in her own right.

This point can be well reflected in the plot later in the original drama, when Veronica and Kevin exchanged roles and Veronica longed to be abused by Kevin.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Veronica obediently followed Kevin's instructions and started thinking.

Kevin lit another cigarette and smoked it silently.

Xiao Wu continued to stay quietly outside the window.

****************
2118 North Wallace Street.

Ding Xiu sat on the sofa on the first floor, feeling the feedback from Xiao Wu, smiled happily, then turned his head and looked at the Gallagher family again.

Of course, there was a wall between them and he couldn't see it.

But, not important.

Ha ha.

Fiona Gallagher, you are such an idiot.

I've made it so clear, yet you still dare to cause trouble.

You never learn your lesson.

Ding Xiu smiled and thought, since he had nothing to do anyway, he started thinking about how to creatively decorate Fiona's bus.

.......
Time passes gradually.

2113 North Wallace Street. Veronica was indeed much calmer. She looked at Kevin, hesitated for two seconds, and said, "I admit that Ding Xiu did help us a lot."

"It is indeed because of Ding Xiu that we can have the life we ​​have now."

“But this is a matter of principle.”

"Do we really want to continue being friends with criminals like Ding Xiu?"

"We are not that kind of people!"

There was a pause.

Veronica added, "Kevin, I still want to quit."

After hearing this, Kevin had a headache. He stared at Veronica without blinking for a few seconds before he said, "Resigned, and then what?"

Veronica wasn't very smart, and she didn't think about it at all. When asked, she replied subconsciously, "We have savings and two houses. Our life is already very good. We can live a normal life, no problem."

The words hit my ears.

Kevin was silent again.

Kevin was abandoned as a child and grew up in multiple foster homes. In fact, he has always been very self-abased. He wanted to be rich and respected. Over the past year or so, he has gradually gotten what he wanted...

now…….
Just because Ding Xiu bullied the Gallagher family, are we going to give up?

Why?
Kevin is different from Veronica. Even if Ding Xiu is a criminal, Kevin doesn't care.

After all, what's there to care about!
This is the fucking South District.

How many criminals are there?
How many criminals go to Ellebo to drink throughout the year?

Elibor's beverage supplier is a real criminal. Elibor's boss Stan is even more of a criminal...

Criminals are not completely bad guys.

"Wei," Kevin thought a lot for a while, lit a cigarette again, and said, "This is the South District. I don't think there is anything wrong with Ding Xiu."

"Did those rich people make so much money by being kind?"

"I've heard that many billionaires in Chicago have done a lot of bloody things in secret."

"I still have the same attitude. I don't sympathize with Frank or the Gallagher family."

Veronica shuddered.

Having said that, Kevin still said this...

Unable to stop, Veronica felt a chill all over her body, and she even felt that she didn't recognize Kevin anymore, "Kevin, what do you mean? You won't stay away from Ding Xiu?"

Kevin exhaled a long puff of smoke, looked at Veronica, hesitated again and again, and stood up, "I need to think about it, and I suggest you do the same."

"Think carefully about the consequences of resigning. If you still want to resign, then it's up to you."

After saying these two words, Kevin walked out.

"Where are you going?" Veronica asked anxiously.

"Elber," Kevin replied without turning around.

After going out the door, Kevin didn't stop, got into the car, started the engine, and drove towards Eliber.

Veronica sat on the sofa, angry and panicked. She was at a loss as to what to do.

On the road late at night.

Kevin was smoking a cigarette, driving fast, and thinking quickly.

It won't take a while.

Kevin returned to the Elibor Bar and saw Mickey. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he thought it was smart.

Fiona said that Ding Xiu hired someone to kidnap Lip and hired someone to chop off Frank's right arm...

This matter may be related to Mickey.

Kevin plans to talk to Mickey and try to test the waters in a tactful way. (End of this chapter)
