174: Family gathering, away from home
While Jiang Chuan and the two women were enjoying the food, the private room's door was suddenly kicked open.
The sudden commotion immediately startled Jiang Huaixue and Mu Qingcheng.
Jiang Chuan's expression instantly turned grim, and he frowned.
"Who are you people?"
Jiang Huaixue looked coldly at the people standing at the doorway and questioned them frostily.
"Huaixue, why are you eating with another man."
As Jiang Huaixue's voice fell, an angry voice reached the ears of the three of them, and soon a young man strode directly into the room.
Li Hongtao was dressed in casual clothes, looking like a dissolute playboy.
He glared angrily at Jiang Huaixue before finally fixing his gaze on Jiang Chuan.
"Big Sister, do you know him?"
Jiang Chuan glanced indifferently at Li Hongtao and spoke to Jiang Huaixue.
"Big Sister?"
Hearing Jiang Chuan's address for Jiang Huaixue, Li Hongtao couldn't help but be stunned.
He had learned that Jiang Huaixue was out eating with a man, and he immediately sent people to find out where she was, intending to teach the man a good lesson.
Who knew that upon arriving, he would hear that address?
Instantly, Li Hongtao realized he had misunderstood Jiang Huaixue.
"I don't know him."
Jiang Huaixue also gave Li Hongtao a cold look and said calmly.
"Get out by yourself."
Hearing that Jiang Huaixue did not know the person, Jiang Chuan instantly realized that the fellow in front of him must be one of Jiang Huaixue's brainless suitors.
He spoke those words without reservation.
"Brother-in-law, I apologize, I misunderstood."
Li Hongtao knew he had made a mistake and immediately looked at Jiang Chuan with an apologetic expression.
"Do I know you? You are not qualified to address me like that."
Hearing Li Hongtao's address for him, Jiang Chuan looked at the other party with a cold expression and spoke those chilling words.
"Hmm?"
Li Hongtao frowned slightly upon hearing Jiang Chuan showing him such disrespect, and then he gave the man beside him a subtle look.
Jiang Chuan naturally noticed this, wanting to see what the other party intended to do.
"Kid, what is your attitude towards our Young Master Li? Do you know who our Young Master Li is? He is the Third Young Master of the Li Family, one of the Four Great Families on Hong Kong Island.
How dare you speak to him like that? Believe me when I say I can make sure you never leave this place!"
"Threatening me?"
Jiang Chuan couldn't help but laugh when he heard these words, and then he looked at the man who spoke.
The man who spoke felt an involuntary fear rise within him when Jiang Chuan stared at him, but with so many people present, he suppressed his internal terror and met Jiang Chuan's gaze directly.
"Big Sister, do you need me to deal with these guys?"
Jiang Chuan ignored Li Hongtao and the man, instead looking at Jiang Huaixue and asking.
Knowing Jiang Chuan's capabilities, Jiang Huaixue simply smiled.
"Do as you please."
Jiang Huaixue could actually resolve this matter herself with a phone call, but she did not like relying on her influence to bully others.
Li Hongtao had never done anything substantial to her, which was why she usually treated him as if he didn't exist.
This time, however, Li Hongtao had violently interrupted her family meal, so she was naturally angry and let Jiang Chuan handle it however he wished.
"Give me the Patriarch of the Li Family's phone number."
Jiang Chuan glanced coldly at the other party and immediately called Liu Yong.
"Understood, President Jiang."
Liu Yong answered Jiang Chuan's call respectfully and immediately gave the Patriarch of the Li Family's private number to Jiang Chuan.
"Hello, who is this?"
The Patriarch of the Li Family answered Jiang Chuan's call immediately and asked.
"My surname is Jiang, Patriarch Li. Your third son is causing trouble in front of me.
Will you come over personally to discipline him, or should I do it for you?"
Jiang Chuan stated his surname directly, then spoke with a cold laugh.
"Jiang?"
"President Jiang, may I ask for your location? I will come over right away."
It was already common knowledge that the boss behind the Tianxia Group had the surname Jiang, and the Patriarch of the Li Family instantly reacted, speaking to Jiang Chuan.
"Fine."
Jiang Chuan agreed with a smile.
"Kid, you're putting on quite an act! If you're qualified to call my dad, I'll eat shit."
Li Hongtao immediately sneered as he watched Jiang Chuan call his father.
Hearing Li Hongtao's words, Jiang Chuan simply chose to ignore him.
Seeing Jiang Chuan ignore him, the rage in Li Hongtao's heart intensified.
"Kid, don't think that just because you're Huaixue's younger brother, I won't dare to touch you."
Li Hongtao looked at Jiang Chuan, shaking with anger.
"Big Sister, Qingcheng, you two eat here. I'm going outside to handle this."
Hearing Li Hongtao making a ruckus here, completely disrupting their family meal, Jiang Chuan said this to the two women.
"Don't hit him too hard."
"A simple lesson will suffice."
Mu Qingcheng and Jiang Huaixue said this to Jiang Chuan after hearing his words.
"Understood, I know my limits."
Jiang Chuan agreed with a smile and directly pushed Li Hongtao and his companions out of the private room.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jiang Chuan was unwilling to waste words with Li Hongtao and his group, and he decisively took action.
Li Hongtao was merely a weak young master, and Jiang Chuan sent him sprawling to the ground with a single slap.
As for the men Li Hongtao brought with him, they were no match for Jiang Chuan and were easily beaten down.
The restaurant patrons saw Jiang Chuan attacking people and were so frightened that they immediately called the police.
The Patriarch of the Li Family also rushed to the restaurant immediately.
By the time the Patriarch of the Li Family arrived, the police had also reached the location.
"Patriarch Li, I'll leave this matter for you to handle."
Seeing the shrewd and capable Patriarch Li arrive, Jiang Chuan said with a smile.
"Understood, President Jiang."
With a single phone call from Patriarch Li, the arriving police officers immediately left the restaurant.
"Patriarch Li, my Big Sister doesn't like him.
Don't let him bother her again in the future, or else I won't be reasoning with you next time."
Jiang Chuan said this to Patriarch Li with a smile.
"May I ask, President Jiang, who your Big Sister is?"
"Jiang Family, Jiang Huaixue!"
Jiang Chuan did not conceal his Big Sister's name.
"You damn idiot! I told you not to bother Miss Jiang, why do you constantly disobey me?"
"Starting tomorrow, you get the hell off Hong Kong Island and go to the United States to learn how to manage a business."
When the Patriarch of the Li Family heard the name Jiang Huaixue, he instantly knew who she was.
After all, Jiang Huaixue's identity was no secret among their circle of patriarchs; it was just that Jiang Huaixue was low-key, and they would not expose her identity.
"President Jiang, I will immediately send this wastrel abroad."
"Good."
Hearing the Patriarch of the Li Family's words, Jiang Chuan understood that the Patriarch of the Li Family must know his Big Sister's identity, and he agreed with a smile.
"President Jiang, please let me know when you have time, and I will treat you all to a meal to apologize."
"Patriarch Li, you don't need to apologize. Just make sure you discipline your son properly from now on."
Jiang Chuan knew that the Patriarch of the Li Family was a patriotic businessman, so he did not intend to pursue the matter further.
After they finished talking, the Patriarch of the Li Family took Li Hongtao and left the restaurant, returning home to give him a severe lecture.
Li Hongtao was sent away by the Patriarch of the Li Family that very day to the United States to learn how to manage a business.
