Tang Tiantian was somewhat surprised; she had not expected to encounter Li Xiaoyao here.Suddenly, she saw Zhang Meng, who was seated next to Li Xiaoyao.
Zhang Meng was wearing a form-fitting long dress, her enticing long legs and her ample bosom were enough to make anyone's heart race, but most importantly, this woman was sitting right next to Li Xiaoyao.
Clearly, Tang Tiantian saw Zhang Meng occasionally glance up at Li Xiaoyao, her large eyes filled with a hint of adoration.
Tang Tiantian's expression dimmed slightly; this woman seemed very intimate with Li Xiaoyao. What exactly was their relationship? Were they a couple?
"Tiantian, what exactly happened last night? Tell me all about it. What happened to Zhang Biao in the end?" Lili's curious voice rose beside her ear.
...
In a restaurant, a table was filled with people—about twelve of them. Each one looked fierce and brutish with dragons and tigers tattooed on their bodies, thick gold chains around their necks, holding a cup of alcohol in the left hand and a cigarette in the right.
One of them was Li Yong, and the others had been invited by him for the evening.
Li Yong had been beaten by Li Xiaoyao that day, and he was determined to get his revenge. He invited these friends from the underworld for dinner precisely for that reason.
Li Yong poured everyone a drink, then lifted his cup saying, "Brothers, let's take a shot."
After a few drinks, someone asked, "Hey, Yongzi, what happened to your face?"
Li Yong touched his face, a cold gleam in his eyes. He grabbed the cup and downed it in one go, saying, "Actually, I invited the brothers over today because of this injury on my face."
Right then, Li Yong exaggerated the story of Li Xiaoyao beating him. After he finished talking, the thugs were visibly enraged.
"Damn, he beat you up? Motherfucker, who is this kid? He's got some nerve!"
Li Yong said, "Just a pretty boy, probably has connections with some leaders."
The thugs beside him heard this and stood up, slamming the table, "A pretty boy, damn, I fucking despise those. Yongzi, do you know where that kid is right now? Let's go fuck him up!"
That was the reaction Li Yong was looking for. He took out his phone and said, "Hold on, let me make a call to ask."
Li Yong called Gouzi: "Hey, Gouzi, do you know where that son of a bitch Li Xiaoyao is?"
Gouzi was on night shift at the company, smoking when he received Li Yong's call. Upon hearing his question, his eyes lit up and he asked, "Yongge, are you looking for trouble with that kid?"
Li Yong replied, "I'm planning to teach him a lesson tonight."
Gouzi, picturing the scene of Li Xiaoyao being stomped on the ground by Li Yong's underworld friends, felt a thrill and said, "He went to Western Bridge for barbecue; he should still be there now."
After hanging up, Gouzi suddenly remembered, Li Xiaoyao didn't go for barbecue alone; he was with the entire security department, over forty people.
Gouzi thought about calling Li Yong back to warn him, but then he considered that, although the security department had many people, those security guards were extremely timid. Facing Li Yong and the thugs of the underworld, they would probably be scared out of their wits.
The scene shifts to Li Yong.
After hanging up, Li Yong said, "At Western Bridge!"
The thugs responded, "Let's go, to Western Bridge, fuck him up!"
Li Xiaoyao, who was enjoying his barbecue, was oblivious that Li Yong was on his way there.
Zhang Meng had already downed two bottles of beer, but showed no sign of intoxication. Li Xiaoyao remarked in surprise, "I didn't see it coming; you hold your liquor pretty well."
Zhang Meng's eyes grew brighter as she drank, looking at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Ever since I was a child, my dad dipped chopsticks in white liquor for me to drink. My tolerance was built up from a young age."
Li Xiaoyao's gaze moved from her chest to her stomach, saying, "Aren't you afraid of getting a beer belly?"
Zhang Meng lifted her chin, saying, "I work out every day, I have a great figure, I even have abs."
Li Xiaoyao smiled, without speaking.
Zhang Meng stared at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Don't you believe me? I really do have abs."
As she spoke, Zhang Meng stood up to show off her abs.
Li Xiaoyao took the opportunity to grab her hand, patting her on the head, "Look at you, claiming you can hold your liquor, but you're already tipsy after just two bottles of beer."
Although Li Xiaoyao was flirtatious, he was never sleazy, taking advantage of a drunk woman was something he could not do.
Zhang Meng giggled, looking somewhat drunk indeed.
With one hand propping up her chin, Zhang Meng tilted her head to look at Li Xiaoyao and asked, "Boss Li, would it be okay if I call you 'Big Brother Li' from now on?"
"You can call me whatever you like," Li Xiaoyao thought to himself, but he knew he would probably have to personally take this girl home tonight, because the way she was, she could be taken away by any man if she went back alone.
"Big Brother Li, Xiaoyao brother, ah, which one should I choose? Hmm, let's go with Xiaoyao brother," Zhang Meng seriously considered before asking, "Xiaoyao brother, when you were in college in Yun Country, you must have had lots of girls chasing after you, right?"
Li Xiaoyao and Zhang Meng chatted back and forth, the intoxicated Zhang Meng was exceptionally talkative, but Li Xiaoyao was not annoyed at all.
From a seat by the window in the upstairs restaurant, Tang Tiantian was keeping an eye on Li Xiaoyao.
After hearing Tang Tiantian's story, Lili became certain that Tang Tiantian was extremely lucky yesterday to have run into the man she was sharing an apartment with, which saved her from being taken away by Zhang Biao.
But this was of little concern to Lili; her relationship with Zhang Biao was purely financial. She had helped Zhang Biao ask Tang Tiantian out yesterday, and Zhang Biao had given her ten thousand yuan. Whether it was successful or not, it didn't really matter to Lili.
What Lili was truly preoccupied with now was the handsome guy she met at the bar last night; after frequenting the bar so many times, he was the highest-quality guy she had seen.
Tang Tiantian, looking down at Li Xiaoyao and Zhang Meng, suddenly heard the sound of a screeching brake at the entrance to the alley. Tiantian looked over and was terrified. Although she was on the second floor, witnessing such an event firsthand still paled her face.
Outside the BBQ stall, Li Xiaoyao also noticed the situation. He glanced over and suddenly recognized Li Yong among the group of men.
Li Xiaoyao immediately guessed that these people must have been brought by Li Yong to cause him trouble. Searᴄh the NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Not only did Li Xiaoyao notice, but the security guards who were eating barbecue also did, and they immediately stood up, grabbing beer bottles from the table, and all stood beside Li Xiaoyao.
Forty or so tall and sturdy security guards stood next to Li Xiaoyao, forming an impregnable wall.
When Li Yong saw Li Xiaoyao, he pointed loudly at him and shouted, "Over there!"
The thugs turned their heads and saw, to their astonishment, that there were over forty brawny men standing beside Li Xiaoyao, and they were momentarily stunned.
Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked around at the faces of the security guards, asking, "Are you afraid?"
Under normal circumstances, the group of security guards would be scared, but not now.
For one, they had drunk quite a bit, emboldened by the alcohol, and secondly, Li Xiaoyao had treated them well, they felt that if they just watched Li Xiaoyao get beaten up by thugs, they would truly be inhuman.
"Not afraid!" the security guards yelled with a thundering voice.
Zhang Meng had drunk a bit too much and was currently lying on the table asleep, oblivious to the scene.
Upstairs, Tang Tiantian, seeing that the thugs had actually come for Li Xiaoyao, immediately tensed and clenched her hands nervously.
