"Jack, don't be so arrogant. It's not enough to get V's approval. You still have to get past me!"
Bai Rui was completely clueless about alcohol.
This is understandable. After all, she thinks that her mouth has been dedicated to carbonated happy water and she is not very fond of alcohol.
Alcohol would deteriorate her sense of taste, so how could she fully appreciate the beauty of V, ah, no, little Cocoa.
However, her lack of knowledge does not affect her ability to brag.
"Um....."
Bai Rui pretended to sniff the wine in the glass and frowned.
“A bit of organ smell.”
After smacking his lips, Bai Rui took the sip and tried it.
After taking a sip of the red wine, Bai Rui immediately frowned.
"Hey, this, this, there's no braised shrimp oil here, you have this."
Bai Rui put down his glass and spoke nonsense in a serious manner.
"Is this drinkable? I'm not paying you for it if I tell you later."
"Come on, Bai Rui, just forget it if you don't understand. Don't just pretend to be stubborn."
Looking at Bai Rui who was pretending, Jack folded his hands speechlessly.
"Hey, you saw it."
Bai Rui, who knew nothing, chuckled and put down the cup.
I was just joking.
She couldn't taste anything. It was just a little less spicy, and she didn't find anything surprising.
But V, who was standing aside, couldn't help laughing when he saw Bai Rui, who was still so clever.
The saintly Bai Ruike in the morning had shocked her for a while. Now she felt relieved to see that her girlfriend was still acting like a troublemaker.
She still couldn't accept this sudden change.
But that's not bad.
Thinking of the tenderness and love in Bai Rui's eyes in the morning, V felt relaxed and happy, and his heart was itchy.
"......Hey, you two have been chatting and drinking, can you please talk about something serious?"
The three chatted for a while and drank all the wine in the glasses. Then Jack winked at them and said, "Be as careful as a thief."
"Well, business, what business?"
Hearing what Jack said, Bai Rui raised his head, his eyes shining with doubt.
"Aren't we here just to have a free lunch?"
Bai Rui finally told everyone about his plan to get a free meal.
"Hey, good for you Bai Rui!"
Seeing Bai Rui's shameless look, Jack pointed for a long time and was speechless.
"V, you're just going to stand there and watch, and you're not going to talk about your little girlfriend?"
Seeing Bai Rui's unreasonable and arrogant look, Jack helplessly turned his gaze to V who was silent at the side, hoping that V, as the leader, could say something.
As for why V is determined to be the dominant party, we can still use our eyes to see. For example, even if Bai Rui's eyes were split into four parts, we could not regard her as P.
"Well, what did you say?"
After drinking a glass, V, who was a little tipsy with a flushed face, was leaning on the bar, with his head tilted, quietly admiring the stunning beauty of his girlfriend.
It looked so beautiful and comfortable that V seemed to be so dizzy with Bai Rui that he didn't notice Jack calling him for a moment.
"Okay, I admit it."
Jack wiped his face with his hands, saying that he really couldn't bear to watch it.
These two guys are beyond help.
However, now was the time to ask for help, and Jack could not afford to be picky, so he patiently stated his request.
"I said, since we have carried guns and fought together, I will lend a hand to you, brother."
Jack put his hands on the counter and told the story.
"My mom wasn't very happy with our performance last time. You saw the result. She asked me to work at the counter, but this doesn't fit in with my plan."
When talking about the plan, Jack's eyes gradually became warm, and he stared at the sky as if there was some beautiful picture.
"My dream is to become a legend in Night City. The streets of Night City still need me. How can I be a bartender or a bar owner here? This doesn't fit my dream."
"Think about Johnny Silverhand and Morgan Blackhand. Damn, what great things they have done. In my opinion, anyone with ambitions should be like them, attracting everyone's attention with every move they make. That's what a man should be like."
"So, lend a hand, brother, and help me persuade my mom. Although it was a little dangerous last time, I didn't lose my life. Besides, dying on the road to pursuing my dream is very romantic, isn't it?"
Jack said, looking at the two men eagerly.
"Alright alright."
Seeing Jack so serious, Bai Rui couldn't joke anymore.
"Don't worry, Jack. V and I will do Mrs. Wells's job. We will make sure you come back and be a mercenary with us."
Bai Rui knew what Jack was pursuing.
This guy is completely devoted to his mercenary career.
In fact, Mrs. Wells did not object to his dream, otherwise she would not have allowed him to join a gang and become a mercenary. Well, of course, with Jack's stubborn temper, he would have done it even if Mrs. Wells did not allow it.
"Yeah, Jack, your skills are more suitable for being a street bar owner. It's not too late to do it after you retire."
V also echoed from the side.
"Umm, Gracias (thanks a lot)!"
Jack nodded excitedly.
"Hmm? V? Bai Rui? Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
At this time, a strong female voice came from behind.
Upon hearing the voice, Jack, who was still excited, coughed twice, quickly suppressed his emotions, and began to wipe the glass seriously.
"Hi, Mrs. Wells!"
The person who came was none other than Jack's mother, the current owner of the Wild Wolf Bar, Mrs. Wells.
Her serious face was covered with wrinkles and her golden hair was a little dull, but even so, her former beauty could still be vaguely seen.
Coupled with the black sweater and leather jacket she was wearing, one could tell at first glance that she was a strong woman on the street.
In the Highwood district, the Wild Wolf Bar and Mrs. Wells have a special reputation.
Just based on the gang in this place, the Valentino Gang with strict rules.
Jack had joined this gang before, and the Valentino Gang was famous for its strict hierarchy. Once joined, one could not leave unless they died. But once after Jack was seriously injured, Mrs. Wells used her prestige to help Jack leave the gang and regain his freedom.
And this was done without breaking up with the gang, which shows how powerful Mrs. Wells is in this place.
Of course, these are all rumors on the street. In the eyes of V and Bai Rui, Mrs. Wells is an elder who is strict but still cares about them.
"Mrs. Wells, we missed you so much!"
Seeing Mrs. Wells coming, Bai Rui and V immediately stood up and greeted her warmly.
"Oh, if you missed me, you would have come back so late."
But in response to Bai Rui's cute attack, Mrs. Wells folded her hands and laughed at herself.
Obviously, Bai Rui's cunning moves did not work as usual.
"Hey, isn't this usually busy?"
Bai Rui scratched his head, looking embarrassed.
"Oh, forget it, you two."
But in the end, looking at these two energetic girls, Mrs. Wells sighed and smiled with relief.
Forget it, she is our own daughter, why bother about so much?
Mrs. Wells was much more tolerant towards Barry and V than towards Jack.
Chapter 115: V is being urged to get married???
"...Mrs. Wells, this is our gift for you. V and I carefully selected it. It is absolutely excellent."
Bai Rui handed the bag of clothes to Mrs. Wells.
"Well, thank you."
Mrs. Wells accepted the gift readily, but she frowned when she saw the Jinguji logo on the handbag.
"Although I am happy to have a gift, you don't have to spend so much money."
Mrs. Wells frowned and looked at Bai Rui and V with concern in her eyes.
She knew that the two girls made a living by working hard, and she also knew that money was hard to earn in this industry, so when she saw the gift in her hand, she didn't know what to say for a moment.
It’s not a good idea to scold them, if I feel happy, but more of it is concern for the two of them.
After all, as a resident of Night City for such a long time, she knew what this city was like.
"It's okay. We still have enough money now."
In response to Mrs. Wells' concern, Bai Rui patted his chest and said that it was no problem.
Now that she is engaged in the underground industry, her wealth is not small, after all, she does not have to pay taxes.
Mrs. Wells said nothing, but nodded.
"Since you're here, stay here for a while. I'll prepare lunch for you. Look at you guys. You've lost weight by eating fast food every day."
Mrs. Wells looked at Bai Rui's small arms and legs with concern in her eyes.
Although Bai Rui has always been so timid, she still firmly believed that these two guys did not eat well.
"No problem, we can stay here all day today."
V also nodded and said.
"..."
Jack was wiping the cups nearby, listening to what they were saying intentionally or unintentionally, but Mrs. Wells's gaze was on Jack.
"Jack, go count the beer in the warehouse and check the accounts. It's time for you to learn more about the store's operations. Don't just sit there and do nothing every day."
Mrs. Wells handed the bill to Jack. She had been planning to do this, but now that Bai Rui and the other man were here, things were different.
"Yes, Boss... er, Mom."
At Mrs. Wells's raised eyebrow, Jack wisely changed his tone.
"Come on, Bai Rui, V, sit down and let's talk."
Seeing Mrs. Wells like that, Jack couldn't help but understand what was going on.
You just think that your big self is getting in the way by leaning on something, so just walk away.
Jack threw his hands up in vain, shook his head and walked away.
But never mind, as long as he can slack off, Jack has already figured out where to smoke a few cigarettes before going back to the warehouse.
The three of them sat and chatted for a while, but most of the time it was Mrs. Wells who asked the questions, and Bai Rui and V who answered them.
To be honest, people with serious faces like Mrs. Wells are quite lethal. Bai Rui couldn't help but pay attention and sat there solemnly as if he was dealing with an elder, not daring to be presumptuous.
"…By the way, Mrs. Wells, we want to talk to you about Jack."
In the silence after the greetings, V took the opportunity to bring up Jack's matter. Now was the right time.
"Jack, haha, that kid asked you to convince me, right? I was wondering why you were so obedient today."
