145: Uncle Xu

Even though Lu Yang spoke nicely, Yi Yi hadn't experienced something like this before, but she wasn't foolish.

Hearing his words, she instead hid behind Xu Zimo.

She didn't know why, but she just felt that Xu Zimo was trustworthy, and being by his side gave her a sense of comfort.

Was this... a sense of security?

This was a feeling she had never experienced with anyone else.

It was clear that the halo was at work.

Originally, it was only 200,000 yuan, and Xu Zimo didn't want to cause trouble, planning to transfer the money directly, but looking at the two people in front of him, he suddenly put his phone away again.

Then he said to the salesperson beside him, "Your bar should have surveillance, right? Go check it. If it really was our fault, feel free to sue. Whatever the judgment, we'll pay."

Annoying people, who can't?

He didn't want trouble, but he wasn't afraid of it either.

Even though he hadn't seen the scene, in this situation, the probability of Yi Yi being entirely at fault was not high.

"Kid, are you looking for trouble?"

Lu Yang stared at Xu Zimo with an unfriendly expression.

At the time, he hadn't seen her, which was why he bumped into Yi Yi.

He knew this in his heart, which was why he was trying to use his influence.

However, Xu Zimo didn't want to pay attention to him at all.

This was no longer an era where disputes could be resolved by fighting. Of course, if the other party wanted to get physical, with his 60 points of physique, beating these rich young masters whose bodies had been hollowed out by alcohol and women would certainly be effortless.

When Lu Yang saw the salesperson actually go to check the surveillance, he immediately became anxious and stepped forward, barking, "Don't be ungrateful! Don't you know who Brother Gu is?"

"Brother Gu is the young master of Dongye Group! I advise you not to look for trouble!"

Although bringing up one's identity was a bit childish, as a large group that could rank in the top ten in the province, Dongye Group had a wide reach, so who wouldn't show respect?

Of course, this could only deter people of a certain status.

If it were an ordinary person, who would know which were the top ten private enterprises in their province?

Yi Yi was a university student and naturally didn't understand the weight of Dongye Group, but Huang Yuqing, being a Socialite, knew clearly, and her expression immediately changed.

The Socialites observing from the booth were also startled.

Guan Yanchu was the same.

Although she knew Xu Zimo was rich, it was impossible for him to go head-to-head with Dongye Group, right?

"Zimo, it was my fault for not taking care of Yi Yi. I'll pay for this."

Huang Yuqing gritted her teeth, deciding to take responsibility.

Xu Zimo had transferred a lot of money to her; 200,000 yuan was actually the limit of what she could afford.

"No need."

Xu Zimo was originally planning to have his assistant call a lawyer to handle it.

It was the year 5202; who still got into fights?

Any problem that could be solved with money should, of course, be solved with money.

But when Xu Zimo heard "Dongye Group," his gaze fell on the young master called Brother Gu.

He actually bore some resemblance to Gu Zheng.

After Lu Yang revealed his identity, Gu Yunshu's brow clearly furrowed.

What era was this, still doing things like this?

What if it got posted online? Thinking of the old man's strict methods at home, he felt a shiver down his spine.

Damn it, why did this scoundrel have to mention his name at such an inopportune moment?

But... it should be fine, right?

Gu Yunshu was about to see if anyone was recording when he saw Xu Zimo smile at him.

Then, he took out his phone, seemingly making a call to someone.

Calling for backup?

How childish.

He wasn't afraid of that.

He quickly filtered through his mind, confirming that the person in front of him was not on his list of people he couldn't afford to offend.

He wanted to see who this person could call.

Then, he saw Xu Zimo wave at him.

Hmph!

You want me to come over, so I'll come over?

Gu Yunshu dismissed him with disdain.

"You're really not going to answer?"

Xu Zimo's lips held a playful smile, but he was completely ignored.

What class was he, to even dare to ask him to answer the phone?

"Brother Gu, he won't answer the phone."

Because it was too noisy, Gu Yunshu didn't hear very clearly, but he did hear the phrase "Brother Gu."

The person this guy called also had the surname Gu?

He had a bad premonition, but he was certain he didn't know the person in front of him, and seeing Xu Zimo hang up the phone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

However... before he could fully relax, his own phone vibrated.

Upon seeing who the caller ID was, Gu Yunshu's expression immediately changed.

Why was the old man calling him at this time?

Although the family rules were strict, today was with the permission of his mother, so he still answered the phone. As a result... in just a few seconds, the young master of Dongye Group's expression changed several times.

The call didn't last very long.

But his own old man's scolding still echoed in his ears.

Gu Yunshu's expression was exceptionally colorful.

Just now, he had thought Xu Zimo's behavior was too childish; now... he had become the idiot.

He was just here to relax and enjoy himself, and he didn't even start the trouble, but now, if he didn't handle it well, he didn't know how badly he would be lectured when he went back.

"Brother Gu..."

"Get lost!"

As Lu Yang approached him, Gu Yunshu cursed in a low voice.

This idiot! If it weren't for this guy revealing his identity, would he have been lectured by the old man?!

Clearly, Xu Zimo didn't know him either.

Gu Yunshu naturally wouldn't give Lu Yang a good look.

Although extremely unwilling, he still leaned towards Xu Zimo's side, opened his mouth several times, and finally called out, "Uncle... Uncle Xu."

Those further away might not have heard clearly, but Huang Yuqing and Yi Yi, who were beside Xu Zimo, heard it perfectly.

Yi Yi's feelings weren't as deep.

But Huang Yuqing was full of disbelief.

No, was she hallucinating?!

What did the young master of Dongye Group just call Xu Zimo?

Uncle Xu?!

Huang Yuqing was naturally the person who knew Xu Zimo best here, and she also knew his rags-to-riches story. She had thought that Xu Zimo's current net worth was probably already over a hundred million.

But she never dared to imagine that the young master of a multi-billion-dollar group would bow to him.

And Lu Yang, who was still a bit dazed from being scolded, heard Gu Yunshu's address to Xu Zimo, and his expression immediately changed rapidly, eventually becoming somewhat pale.

It's over!

His family had originally told him to come and get closer to Gu Yunshu, but... it seemed he had accidentally provoked someone he shouldn't have.

Lu Yang knew how deep the Gu family's foundation was. If he could make Gu Yunshu willingly call him Uncle, how could Xu Zimo's identity be simple?

"Heh heh."

Xu Zimo looked at him with a half-smile, certainly not intending to humiliate him, but simply said, "Since we're all family, I'll pay you whatever is owed."

Gu Yunshu had thought the other party would use his status to pressure him, but he didn't expect him to be so easy to talk to. He paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Uncle Gu, what are you saying? It's just a few bottles of wine, nothing serious."
