147: Take down Chen Li

The bet at the 4S Dealership when buying the car for Gu Qingcheng had caused Chen Shimei to lose face completely in front of everyone.

Could it be that because of this incident, he has held a grudge all this time and wants to use this Class Reunion as an opportunity for revenge?

He thought carefully: if Zhong Hao and Liu Zhao hadn't offended Chen Shimei recently in any other way, the problem must be centered on himself.

Zhong Hao took over the conversation: "I also find it strange. Not only did he issue the challenge, but he specifically made sure I knew about it.

It's clearly meant to provoke us. Where does he get such confidence? Is he preparing some dirty trick?"

Liu Zhao cautiously suggested, "How about... we just don't go to this reunion? Better to avoid trouble than seek it."

Liu Zhao's concern wasn't cowardice; he simply felt it was better to avoid unnecessary complications.

Since they couldn't figure out what trump card Chen Shimei had prepared, he didn't want his brothers to take that unknown risk.

If the other party brought in Social Elements from outside the school, the matter would be far more serious than a simple student fight.

Chen Li put down his teacup: "Go? Why wouldn't we go? If we don't even dare to show up at a Class Reunion because of something he said, what does that make us?"

Although, given his current perspective, these grievances from his student days were trivial, the inherent spirit of youth still remained.

Zhong Hao slapped his thigh, adrenaline surging: "You're right! Why should we be afraid of him? At worst, we fight. Who's scared?"

Seeing that both his brothers were so determined, Liu Zhao smiled too: "Alright, since you both insist, let's go meet him together and see what tricks he tries to pull."

Just then, He Min and Liu Nansheng walked over, carrying washed fruit, and happened to hear the last few sentences.

He Min immediately sternly said, "What are you discussing? You are absolutely not allowed to fight with anyone again."

Zhong Hao quickly chuckled dismissively: "How could we? We were just chatting casually."

He Min winked slyly: "Nansheng and I have agreed that we'll call up two other sisters,

and go eat at the place where you guys are having your gathering. And while we're there... we'll supervise you, so you don't stir up trouble."

"Can we go together?" Liu Nansheng looked at Chen Li, her eyes filled with anticipation.

She wasn't worried about fighting; with Chen Li's skills, protecting them would be more than enough.

Chen Li smiled and nodded: "Of course. If you want, after dinner, you can come with us to The Beach for a Barbecue.

Anyway, a lot of people in the class are bringing their partners, and everyone knows each other, so there won't be any issues."

"Then it's settled. Have some fruit first; these freshly washed Grapes are really sweet."

The group chatted over tea, and before they knew it, the afternoon had passed.

The sky outside the window gradually darkened with twilight. Liu Zhao checked the time: "Guys, it's getting late. Time to head out."

Chen Li tried to persuade them to stay: "Why don't you all stay for dinner? I'll have Nansheng cook a few extra dishes."

Liu Zhao waved his hand and stood up: "Next time. I have to eat at home today; my Mom specifically told me to."

"Alright then, see you tomorrow..." Chen Li didn't insist and saw his friends out the door.

Not long after they left, Liu Nansheng, who was tidying up, received a call on her cell phone. It was from the Police Station.

The Police Officer said her parents were at the station and expressed remorse, asking the Officer to inquire if a settlement was possible, and they were willing to compensate for the damaged furniture.

Liu Nansheng was silent for a moment: "Officer, regarding my parents, I can choose not to press charges.

But as for my younger brother, Liu Tianbao, I absolutely will not settle. He should be detained according to the regulations, and we don't need them to compensate for the damages."

She knew very well that this kind of family dispute usually wouldn't result in a criminal record, only detention for ten days to half a month at most.

This time, she was determined to teach Liu Tianbao a lesson.

Hanging up the phone, she looked at Chen Li.

Chen Li gently held her hand: "You did the right thing. It's appropriate to forgive your parents, but Liu Tianbao really needs to be taught a lesson."

Liu Nansheng nodded, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

Her younger brother had been spoiled by their parents since childhood, given everything he asked for, and had never experienced any setbacks.

Letting him experience the taste of the law this time might make him realize that not everyone in this world will indulge him like their parents do.

Thinking about it carefully, the biggest problem might actually lie with Mr. Liu.

He was clearly the Head of the Household, yet he listened to Mrs. Liu in everything.

Mrs. Liu was unreasonable, but he didn't try to dissuade her; he just indulged and accommodated her blindly.

Since his appearance until now, he hadn't said more than a few words; Mrs. Liu made all the decisions.

Liu Nansheng let out a wry sigh.

How could she not know the problems in her family? Her mother was dominant, her father was weak, and her brother was spoiled rotten.

She hoped that through this incident, they could properly reflect on things... "Lili, is there really no possibility for us anymore?"

These past few days, Chen Shimei had been calling and messaging his Ex-Girlfriend, Zhong Lili, as if possessed.

He really couldn't bear to let go—Zhong Lili's 'skills' in that area made him insatiable, and every time he thought back, he felt an unbearable itch.

Ever since Zhong Lili broke up with him outside the Rolls-Royce dealership last time, he had been in a state of extreme unwillingness.

Zhong Lili, on the other end of the phone, frowned impatiently: "Chen Shimei, haven't I made myself clear enough?

We are over. Please stop bothering me." With that, she hung up the phone without hesitation.

She let out a cold laugh and tossed her phone onto the sofa.

This time, Zhong Lili was determined to completely sever ties with Chen Shimei.

Ever since she witnessed Chen Li's true financial power last time, she secretly resolved to completely cut off her past with Chen Shimei.

She even deliberately underwent Reconstructive Surgery, physically erasing the traces of her time with Chen Shimei,

so that she could completely claim to Chen Li that she had never slept with Chen Shimei.

During this time, she had been recuperating, going to bed early, waking up early, meticulously taking care of her skin, and even hiring a Private Coach for body shaping, adjusting her physical condition to its peak.

All the preparations were aimed at securing Chen Li at the upcoming High School reunion.

She was extremely confident in her 'skills,' firmly believing that once Chen Li had a taste, he would be captivated and completely obsessed with her.

Thinking about how seriously Chen Li had pursued her in High School, she concluded that he must still harbor those feelings of affection.

Now that she was taking the initiative, she believed that with her methods, taking down Chen Li would be effortless.
