In the private room of the restaurant.
Even in the private room, Li Dong still did not take off his hat.
After the waiter left, Li Dong took off his hat and shook his head slightly. "The troubles of celebrities."
Yuan Xue added calmly, "The troubles of celebrities dating their lovers in private."
Li Dong choked for a moment. Feeling helpless, he smiled bitterly and said, "Do you have to be so direct?"
Yuan Xue's delicate cheeks showed a faint smile. "You always liked to provoke me with words. Now I'm just learning from you."
Li Dong laughed. After hearing Yuan Xue's words, he could not help but think of the past.
During high school, he seemed to like to use this method to provoke Yuan Xue.
It was because he could not stand her cold and arrogant expression, but it might be mixed with something else.
For a teenager who had just begun to develop hormones, it might be a good way to attract the attention of the opposite sex in other aspects.
Of course, the consequences of this were unpredictable. It might be noticed, but it was more likely to attract greater disgust.
The thinking of a young boy naturally could not consider the possible consequences.
The two chatted and laughed for a while. Li Dong ate while talking about the fund company.
…
Downstairs of the restaurant.
While Yuan Zhongqing and his wife were waiting anxiously, a van hurriedly stopped beside them.
Four men got out of the van one after another. They were not strong and looked ordinary.
As soon as they saw Yuan Zhongqing, the middle-aged leader quickly greeted, "Boss."
Yuan Zhongqing saw that they had arrived and breathed a sigh of relief. Then he immediately said, "I saw that there are only two people. They seem to be involved in MLM. Just go up and scare them."
He did not mention anything about beating them up. They were all workers and ordinary people. It was okay for the boss to let them have a good reputation. In this society of law, it was not enough to let these security guards fight with others unless they were selected in advance and prepared sufficient rewards.
Yuan Zhongqing did not want to make it big as long as the other party did not cheat his daughter.
Listening to the boss, the security guards were also a lot more relaxed.
Everyone was just trying to make a living. They did not have the guts to really fight with the underworld.
But there were two people in MLM, so there was no problem.
Moreover, they had more people on their side, so it was even easier.
They didn't ask again. Yuan Zhongqing was afraid that his daughter would be at a disadvantage, so he didn't delay and quickly led them into the restaurant.
…
As soon as Yuan Zhongqing brought his men upstairs, Tan Yong's headset, which was on the side of Li Dong's private room, reported something.
After listening to the report, Tan Yong suddenly felt a toothache.
In the car, Li Dong's words were still vivid in his mind.
The boss wanted to chat with his cheap father-in-law, and it seemed like his wish had come true.
At this moment, Tan Yong didn't know whether he should congratulate the boss for realizing his wish or sympathize with him.
For a moment, Tan Yong even thought that maybe he could see the boss's ability to change his expression later.
Of course, thinking was just thinking, and Tan Yong quickly discarded this thought.
Here comes trouble!
Miss Yuan's parents came over angrily. It was obvious that they were looking for trouble.
If it were someone else, the first thing Tan Yong would do at this moment would be to immediately summon the few fellows not far away. The boss's safety came first.
But now, this was also the first time Tan Yong had encountered such a situation. He knew that the other party was here to pick a fight, but he felt somewhat restrained.
There was no time to think too much. The restaurant was not big, and those people were probably coming soon.
Tan Yong hurriedly walked out of the private room and then knocked on the door of the private room next door.
…
In the private room.
Li Dong was talking to Yuan Xue about the specific things to do in Hong Kong. When he heard the knock on the door, he said casually, "Come in."
Tan Yong didn't enter the door. He coughed softly through the door and said, "General Manager Li, Miss Yuan's parents are coming over. They are just over the corridor … It's 20 meters away. I'll help you for a while …"
After saying this, Tan Yong's voice disappeared outside the door. Obviously, he had gone to help Li Dong block the bullets.
When Li Dong heard this, his chopsticks, which were about to pick up some food, stopped, and then his face turned a little green. He said, "What should we do?"
Yuan Xue was also at a loss, but she soon recovered and said with a chuckle, "Why don't you climb the window and hide?"
Li Dong's face began to turn black, and he said gloomily, "Is this what I should do?"
Although he said that, Li Dong still looked at the window subconsciously, but when he saw the street below, Li Dong gave up the idea in an instant.
He would rather be beaten by Yuan Zhongqing and his wife than do such a shameful thing.
With a sigh, Li Dong stood up and said, "I still have to face what I have to face. I can't hide for a lifetime. It's just that I didn't prepare so soon, and I didn't prepare enough. "
Yuan Xue was not too nervous. She nodded slightly and said, "I don't want you to see my parents now. Maybe it will be better to have a child."
"Cough, cough, cough …"
Li Dong choked and glanced at the woman. Seeing that she was serious, he couldn't help but say with a wry smile, "You think more than me. Do you think your parents will beat me later?"
"No." Yuan Xue said and added, "My dad can't beat you, and you don't dare to beat him."
Li Dong laughed again, but his mood was much calmer.
He didn't go out to greet them. Although the restaurant was not big, there were people eating upstairs. It was not convenient for him to go out.
…
Outside the private room.
When Yuan Zhongqing saw Tan Yong, he felt that he was a little familiar.
Just now downstairs, he didn't see Tan Yong and Li Dong's appearance from a distance, not to mention that Li Dong was wearing a hat.
However, he had seen Tan Yong once.
When the Yuan family was cheated, Li Dong brought Tan Yong and Zhou Haidong back to Dongping.
However, after all, a few years had passed, and he had only seen him once. Although he felt that he was a little familiar, Yuan Zhongqing didn't recognize him immediately.
Tan Yong had been following Li Dong for the past few years. Although he was not a big shot, he had seen many big shots, and his temperament was completely different from before.
In addition, the security team in charge of Li Dong was originally from the military. When he stood forward, he gave the few security guards that Yuan Zhongqing brought with him a sense of oppression.
The few security guards couldn't help but stop. Yuan Zhongqing also recognized that this was the person who got out of the car just now.
Yuan Zhongqing took a closer look at Tan Yong. Previously, he firmly believed that Tan Yong was involved in MLM, but now he was a little uncertain.
A person's temperament was often indescribable.
However, Yuan Zhongqing had been doing business for so many years, and his judgment was not bad.
When Tan Yong stood here, Yuan Zhongqing knew that he might have been wrong.
Even if this guy in front of him was really involved in MLM, he should be the leader, and not an ordinary small leader.
Yuan Zhongqing didn't know what to say at this time. He brought people here aggressively. According to his original plan, when they found the private room, they would directly rush in and take his daughter away. If the other party dared to stop them, he would let the security guards scare them.
This was what he had planned for the script.
But now, as soon as he went upstairs, the other party took the initiative to come, and it somewhat disrupted his rhythm.
Just as Yuan Zhongqing was thinking about how to say it, Tan Yong's cold aura suddenly retracted, and then he said with a smile, "Mr. Yuan, Madam Li, hello."
Yuan Zhongqing was stunned for a moment, then he frowned and said, "You know us?"
Tan Yong smiled and nodded. "Actually, I've met Mr. Yuan before, but you might not remember. You're here to look for Miss Yuan, right? "
Tan Yong was a rough man, but after years of training, he didn't speak rudely.
Yuan Zhongqing really couldn't remember where he had seen him, but he still nodded and said, "Are you Ah Xue's friend? My girl is unfamiliar with Suzhou. I saw that she left in a hurry and didn't even bring her wallet … "
Yuan Zhongqing's anger dissipated a lot after he found an excuse.
Tan Yong didn't interrupt him and let him speak. When he was done, he felt that the boss should be almost ready, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan and Madam Li, come in with me. Miss Yuan is inside."
Yuan Zhongqing exhaled, feeling a little awkward. I'm here to pick a fight!
But now that this momentum had been interrupted, he was embarrassed to say anything.
Glancing at his wife, Yuan Zhongqing's mother also felt a little awkward, but she was a businesswoman after all. Yuan Zhongqing's mother said with a smile, "Then let's go in and give Ah Xue her wallet. This girl is so flustered that she won't even have money to take a taxi home later."
The couple chatted and followed Tan Yong to the private room.
A few security guards subconsciously followed, and in the end, a few men with similar temperaments to Tan Yong walked out from the corridor.
Tan Yong, who was walking in front, said apologetically, "Mr. Yuan, Madam Li, the private room is a little small. Why don't you guys stay here? I see that everyone came in a hurry and probably didn't eat. I'll treat you guys to a meal. "
Yuan Zhongqing frowned slightly. At this time, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that something was wrong.
Just now, there were only two people. Now that so many people suddenly appeared, it was definitely not normal.
But after all, in public, this restaurant was on the side of a bustling street, so Yuan Zhongqing wasn't afraid.
Looking back at the few security guards who were a little uneasy, Yuan Zhongqing said, "Old Zhang, you guys go eat first. We'll leave together later."
He got the security guards to stay outside. If there was really any trouble, they could still call the police.
Just now, many thoughts flashed through Yuan Zhongqing's mind. Would the other party want to kidnap him?
But this thought was quickly cast aside. There were many rich people in Suzhou. Who did he think he was?
Adding up all his assets, could he even have five million?
Moreover, most of them were fixed assets. The money he earned in the past few years had been used to buy a house. Only a fool would kidnap him in a restaurant.
Without thinking further, Yuan Zhongqing waited for the security guards and the few people who suddenly appeared to leave. Only then did he look at Tan Yong and said, "You're from Jiangbei?"
Tan Yong nodded but didn't say anything else. He knocked on the door of the private room again.
When Li Dong's voice came from inside, Tan Yong opened the door but didn't enter. He turned to look at Yuan Zhongqing and his wife and said with a smile, "Please come in."
Yuan Zhongqing felt a little awkward as he entered with his wife.
He felt that something was wrong, but everything happened too fast and didn't give him much time to think.
…
In the private room, the moment Yuan Zhongqing and his wife entered, Tan Yong closed the door behind them.
At this moment, Yuan Xue also called out, "Dad, Mom."
Yuan Zhongqing first glanced at his daughter. Seeing that she was as calm as usual, he felt a lot more at ease. Then, he looked at the only stranger in the private room.
Before he said anything, Li Dong said with a smile, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."
This voice sounded familiar to Yuan Zhongqing.
He had only met Tan Yong once, so he wasn't familiar with him. However, he had chatted with Li Dong for a long time, so he had some impression of him.
As soon as Li Dong spoke, Yuan Zhongqing looked at him. When he saw the other person's face clearly, he was a little stunned.
He was stunned, but his wife wasn't. She said with some uncertainty, "Li … Li Dong?"
"Li Dong!"
This name instantly flashed in Yuan Zhongqing's mind.
He knew Li Dong!
Not only in the newspapers, but also on television. He had also met and chatted with Li Dong.
Back then, when Li Dong first came to his house, Far Away wasn't that famous. Of course, he had some fame in Jiangbei.
It was also Li Dong who helped him solve the Yuan family's biggest problem.
Back then, even though Yuan Zhongqing later found out about Li Dong's identity, he didn't think too much about it. In his opinion, Li Dong should be his daughter's suitor.
However, as Li Dong's fame grew, his daughter didn't mention him anymore. Sometimes, Yuan Zhongqing thought about the young man who came to his house back then. He was now the richest man in the world, a person who had almost become his son-in-law.
His friends and business partners would often look at Li Dong with admiration and envy when they mentioned him.
Yuan Zhongqing didn't feel this way much, but he couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that young man to be so powerful.
The richest man in the world. Every time he thought of this term, he felt that his meeting Li Dong back then was like a dream.
Later, he also found out that Li Dong was indeed his daughter's classmate. They were even classmates. This made him sigh even more.
Many times, when Yuan Zhongqing sighed, he also felt proud.
Li Dong was from Dongping. He was his daughter's classmate. He even had a meal with Li Dong …
Because of this, he had bragged about it many times during gatherings with his friends.
Of course, whether others believed it or not was another matter.
However, the person who usually bragged to his friends had suddenly appeared. Yuan Zhongqing didn't know what to do for a moment.
Also, he felt that he had forgotten something.
Forgotten something?
Right!
Yuan Zhongqing recalled that when he got on the car just now, this guy had his hand on his daughter's shoulder!
When he got off the car, he seemed to have seen him holding his daughter's hand!
Li Dong and his daughter … But wasn't Li Dong married? He heard that his father-in-law was a big shot!
Then, Yuan Zhongqing woke up from his daze.
Once he woke up, Yuan Zhongqing's expression changed. He looked at his daughter who was standing beside Li Dong and said with a slightly ugly expression, "Ah Xue, you guys …"
Yuan Xue didn't say a word. Li Dong said with a smile, "Uncle and Auntie, let's sit down and have some food. We haven't seen each other for a few years. I remember that Uncle Yuan was quite a drinker. This time, I came to Suzhou thinking of visiting Uncle and Auntie. I didn't expect to meet you here. I'll drink with Uncle Yuan later … "
As Li Dong spoke, he helped to pull out two chairs.
The richest man in the world was treating him so attentively. Yuan Zhongqing's expression changed again and again.
Yuan Zhongqing's mother also sensed something at this moment. She couldn't help but look at her daughter and then at Li Dong. Finally, she sat down without a word.
Yuan Zhongqing didn't say another word and sat down next to his wife.
The two of them didn't say a word. Yuan Xue didn't say a word. Li Dong also felt a little awkward.
Just as Li Dong didn't know what to say, Yuan Xue said, "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Yuan Zhongqing's cheeks twitched. He didn't answer his daughter's question.
Yuan Zhongqing's mother coughed lightly. After a while, she said, "You … you lost your wallet at home …"
Yuan Zhongqing interrupted, "Your mother and I were afraid that you were cheated, so we specially came to take a look. We didn't expect to meet Boss … Boss Li here …"
"Uncle Yuan, don't call me that. Just call me by my name." Li Dong hurriedly replied. Then, he smiled as he picked up a bottle of wine and poured it for Yuan Zhongqing. "I didn't know that Uncle and Auntie would come, so I ordered a bottle of red wine. I have white wine in my car. I'll get someone to get it …"
"There's no need."
Yuan Zhongqing took a deep breath and glanced at Li Dong. He deliberated for a while before saying, "Li … Then I'll call you Li Dong."
"You and Ah Xue …"
"Dad, I like Li Dong." Yuan Xue continued and said calmly, "I know what you want to ask. Actually, I didn't intend to keep it a secret. It's true that Li Dong is married, but I don't care that much … "
"Uncle, Auntie …" Li Dong interrupted Yuan Xue and said apologetically, "I know that I've caused you a lot of trouble, and I've let Ah Xue down. I can't say anything else. But I promise, I'll treat Ah Xue well for the rest of her life. Both of you deserve to scold or hit me. Everything was caused by me … "
"Enough!"
Yuan Zhongqing's cheeks twitched again. His breathing was heavy. "Li Dong, I know you're rich. You can kill me with money!
But we only have one daughter in our family. Although we're not rich, we've never lacked for anything from Ah Xue since she was young.
When our family was in trouble, it was you who helped. I've always remembered this favor.
I'm just a small businessman. I can't help you much.
If you like my daughter, I'll be more than happy to tell you the truth.
But … but you asked my daughter to be your mistress … "
Yuan Zhongqing's expression was ugly. Yuan Zhongqing's mother kept a straight face and did not say anything. Yuan Xue frowned slightly. Li Dong looked apologetic. He did not say anything else. He lowered his head and said, "I've let you two down. I've let Ah Xue down."
"Phew …"
Yuan Zhongqing exhaled and stared at him. "Our family can't get close to you."
Then he ignored Li Dong. He looked at Yuan Xue and said, "Ah Xue, come home with me."
Yuan Xue still did not say anything. Yuan Zhongqing's voice became a little sharp. He shouted, "Come home with me!"
Yuan Xue said softly, "Dad, I know what I'm doing. I'm not a child anymore."
"You know what you're doing?"
Yuan Zhongqing stood up instantly and glared at his daughter. "What the hell do you know! Do I lack what you spend or what you use? Don't you know that he's married? You're shameless to be someone's mistress … "
"Old Yuan!"
Yuan Zhongqing's mother pushed him. Her expression was a little ugly. Her husband said this in front of her daughter.
Yuan Zhongqing said angrily, "What are you doing! Can't I say it? Motherf * cker, so what if you're rich? Even if I don't have money, I still raised her to this extent! "
Yuan Zhongqing shouted at his wife. He then looked at Yuan Xue and said, "Are you going back?"
"Uncle Yuan …"
"Shut up!"
Yuan Zhongqing glared at Li Dong who interrupted and scolded, "You're rich. Of all the women you could find, you just had to find my daughter! We're from the same hometown. If news of this spread to Dongping, where would I hide my face? Do you have any face? Your wife's family is influential. Our family can't compare, and we don't dare to compare. You can hurt whoever you want, just don't hurt my daughter! "
"Uncle Yuan, I know you're angry now. But between me and Ah Xue, it really has nothing to do with money. Ah Xue is your daughter. Don't you understand? Is she the kind of person who would … disregard everything for money? "
As Li Dong said this, Yuan Xue shook her head at him. It was useless to say these things now. She knew her father.
Seeing her father's face turn red, Yuan Xue remained calm and said slowly, "Dad, it's useless to be angry. Things have already come to this. And I've been pregnant for a few months. This time, I'm going to Xiangjiang to give birth. I can go back with you, but I'm an adult. You can control me now, but can you lock me up for the rest of my life? Li Dong didn't restrict me. If I want to, I can find someone to marry tomorrow. If I don't want to, I can go back with you now. The result will be the same. "
Yuan Zhongqing was stunned. Yuan Zhongqing's mother was also stunned.
Li Dong couldn't help but look at Yuan Xue. Is this for real? Is it useful to fool your parents?
Yuan Xue didn't look at him. She stood up and said, "Now that you're angry, I'll go home with you."
Yuan Zhongqing was huffing and puffing, but he didn't know what to say or ask.
In addition, Li Dong was here. The more he looked, the more annoyed he became. He turned around and left the private room.
As soon as he left, Yuan Zhongqing's mother looked at her daughter. She didn't say anything and left with her husband.
Yuan Xue followed closely. Seeing that Li Dong was about to follow, she turned around and said, "I'm angry now. Don't follow me. Everyone will know and it'll be embarrassing."
"Then …" Li Dong wanted to continue asking about what just happened, but Yuan Xue didn't give him a chance and stepped out of the private room.
When they were all gone, Tan Yong entered the room carefully.
As soon as he entered, Li Dong said angrily, "Didn't you notice that the old couple was following us?"
Tan Yong shrank his neck. He knew he was going to be blamed.
He couldn't explain this matter. He wasn't a secret agent. It was right to protect Li Dong, but there were so many cars following them. There was only one road. Who would pay attention to every car?
Tan Yong said in a low voice, "General Manager Li, what should we do now?"
"What should we do?"
Li Dong sighed and said helplessly, "What else can we do? Let's go back to the hotel first. I knew it would be like this. Let's wait. If I go now, Old Yuan will really tear me apart. When his anger subsides a little, we'll act according to the situation. This will happen sooner or later. "
Tan Yong couldn't do anything about this. Seeing that Li Dong didn't even wear his cap, he quickly reminded him and followed Li Dong out of the restaurant.
As for Li Dong, he couldn't help but sigh when he left the restaurant. "Money really isn't everything."
Although he sighed, he had to admit that although money wasn't everything, it was still useful. At least he had a reputation. If it was someone else, with Old Yuan's attitude, he would really call the security guards to beat him up.
Li Dong let his imagination run wild for a while. In the end, he couldn't help but think of Yuan Xue's words. Was the pregnancy real or fake?
