Chapter 351: Brother-in-law!

"He just followed us here for some reason, it's really annoying."

"Honey, why don't we just ignore him."

Jin Lu furrowed her beautiful brows and whispered to Zheng Qian.

"It doesn't matter. Actually, I'm quite curious to see who his so-called lackey is. We know basically everyone in Yebai; I've been thinking about it for a while now, and I can't figure out who would ever accept someone like him as their boss."

"Besides, if I don't let him properly witness your husband's strength and make him completely give up, he'll probably keep pestering you in the future."

Zheng Qian said, flicking Jin Lu's nose.

Teased by Zheng Qian like this, Jin Lu's mood wasn't so bad anymore.

On the contrary, Li Zijian, watching the two of them cuddling from time to time, was so incensed that he was fuming.

He had originally thought that once Jin Lu entered society, she would understand what the power of capital really was. As long as he crooked his finger, wouldn't she obediently follow him?

He never expected that she would actually have found a fiancé.

But this didn't discourage Li Zijian. In his view, what kind of young master could possibly come out of a small place like Yebai?

He was making a huge splash in Shanghu; how could a rustic fellow like him compare?

[Creak — creak —]

At this moment, a dilapidated commercial vehicle came wobbling over.

It stopped at the entrance of the hotel.

Li Zijian frowned, thinking about how there were broken-down cars everywhere in Yebai, and walked to one side. Just as he was about to pick up his phone to urge the other party, the car door opened, and a security guard stumbled out, stretching his neck and shouting:

"Which one is Young Master Li? The Young Master Li from Shanghu?"

His finger stopped in mid-air, and he froze.

This... this is the car he found for me?

Zheng Qian and Jin Lu were also stunned, their faces turning bright red as they nearly burst out laughing.

"Which one is Young Master Li? The Young Master Li from Shanghu..."

"Alright, alright, stop shouting, that's me." Li Zijian walked over resentfully. He glanced at the car door that looked like it might fall off at any moment and said with disdain, "You were sent by Xiaoyu? And this is the piece of junk car?"

The security guard nodded with a sheepish smile.

"Sigh, several of our cars have already been used to pay off debts, this is all that's left. You see... the boss gave instructions, if you don't like it, should I call a ride-hailing service for you?"

Li Zijian's forehead was covered in black lines.

"Just this one will do!"

He said resentfully, then smiled awkwardly at Jin Lu, "Their company's cars happen to be undergoing maintenance. I came in a rush, so he didn't have time to prepare. Let's go; it's only a few kilometers, just a quick drive."

"Let's go, honey."

Jin Lu held Zheng Qian's hand with a smile.

"Young Master Li really knows his cars. The push-back sensation must be intense; it probably offers more driving pleasure than a Mercedes-Benz."

Zheng Qian also nodded with a smile and sat down, causing the car to creak and groan.

"Sigh, this car... it won't suddenly fall apart, will it?" Zheng Qian said with concern.

"No, no, I drove it for a long time even when it didn't have a car door. See, hearing that Young Master Li was coming today, the boss specifically arranged for me to go and weld a new door back on. It drives even more steadily now!"

The security guard took a deep drag of his cigarette, but after turning the key for a long time, he realized the car wouldn't start.

This made Li Zijian feel even more agitated.

He couldn't help but roar, "Put out that cigarette! Damn it, don't you know there's a lady in the car?"

The security guard sheepishly put out the cigarette, and as luck would have it, the car started right up.

The car actually drove quite fast.

It didn't take long before it stopped at a familiar place.

Seattle Club?

Zheng Qian was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood everything. So, this Young Master Li's lackey was actually Tang Xingyu? But when did he return to Yebai, and how did he have the face to come back?

Returning to the Seattle Club again, it felt like a completely different experience.

There were no throngs of beauties greeting guests at the door; it was a desolate scene, extremely forlorn.

There were still a few people in the nightclub, but most were just playing cards in the booths, and there were few girls dancing to energetic music. A DJ was listlessly playing some tunes, his eyes never leaving his phone screen.

In fact, Jin Lu was somewhat aware of the current situation at Seattle.

After her father, Knife-Wielding Jin, took over Red Rose, he had long begun to surround and suppress this place in cooperation with the Cui Family.

At first, they could still cope, but for some reason, since last month, without financial support, the Seattle Club could hold on less and less. Not only could they not stock many drinks, but they couldn't even settle the accounts with suppliers.

Every day, many people came to collect debts, and they were barely holding on.

"Tang..."

Li Zijian saw Tang Xingyu from a distance.

Just as he was about to call out to him, he noticed the latter was excitedly saying something to someone.

"Cui Jinghui, is it necessary to push me this hard? How did I treat you back in the day?"

"Times change, Tang Xingyu... out of consideration for the past, I've already given you plenty of time."

"But you can't do this today, right? Didn't I say I was going to arrange for someone today?"

"If not today, then when? I never see you on normal days!"

The few people walked closer and saw.

It turned out that the person talking to Tang Xingyu was none other than Cui Jinghui.

He was seen sitting with his legs crossed, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, looking at Tang Xingyu with an impatient expression. There were many people in the booth, clearly called over by him to back him up.

In contrast, Tang Xingyu no longer had that arrogant and overbearing look from before.

"Ah... ah! Young Master Li, Young Master Li, why did you arrive so quickly..." Tang Xingyu sensed the anomaly around him, and when he looked up, he saw Li Zijian with a face full of black lines.

He immediately stood up and said with a sheepish smile, "Young Master Li, you go sit over there first, I'll have someone bring you drinks in a moment..."

"Bro... Brother-in-law!?"

Cui Jinghui also saw clearly who had arrived. He didn't know Li Zijian, but he recognized Zheng Qian.

He immediately stubbed out his cigarette, stood straight, and said excitedly.

Although he wasn't sure if Zheng Qian had slept with Cui Ziqing, he knew how much profit Zheng Qian had brought to the Cui Family. Not to mention consolidating Yebai, even the upstream and downstream resources of many bars in Yezhou had allowed Cui Ziqing to gain a firm foothold in Subei.

Letting her serve as the general manager of LIN MIX had caused her net worth to instantly inflate by more than hundreds of millions.

These days, what are grudges and grievances?

There are only eternal interests!

He had finally figured it out; Zheng Qian was no longer someone he could deal with.

Following him to make money, let alone calling him brother-in-law, he'd even call him daddy if needed.

"Ahem... ahem..."

Zheng Qian's face immediately darkened, and he signaled frantically with his eyes. Damn it, don't you see who is next to me?

"Oh... oh... Young Master Zheng, Young Master Zheng, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." Fortunately, Cui Jinghui reacted quickly; he hurriedly ran over with a sheepish smile to light a cigarette, "What wind blew you here today?"
