Li Chonglou understood Jiang Yuxin's meaning, but he didn't take it to heart. He said softly, "It's fine, if he really contacts you tomorrow, I'll accompany you. After all, I've helped you before!"
Jiang Yuxin nodded. In fact, she had only considered it a minor incident, thinking it might have been Liu Sanxing's politeness.
The two quickly forgot about Liu Sanxing and continued their unfinished romantic journey. However, after playing all day, Jiang Yuxin felt a bit tired, and they returned to the Jiang family without walking much further.
On the other side, Liu Sanxing didn't go far after leaving. He stared at the couple with a gloomy expression until Li Chonglou and Jiang Yuxin walked away hand in hand, then he snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Back at the hotel, Liu Sanxing suddenly remembered a friend he knew who had worked for the Jiang family. He immediately took out his phone and sent him a message, inquiring about Jiang Yuxin's relationship status.
Before long, Liu Sanxing received a reply. The message first stated that he had left the Jiang family a long time ago, but he knew a little about Li Chonglou's situation.
"So he's a gigolo!"
Liu Sanxing's face immediately showed disdain after reading it. He had thought Li Chonglou was a young master from a wealthy family, seeing his handsome appearance and noble demeanor, but he turned out to be just a good-for-nothing son-in-law!
In an instant, countless thoughts flooded his mind.
After a long time, Liu Sanxing suddenly muttered to himself with a sneer, "Let's see how I'll deal with you tomorrow!"
Then, he did not know that the Jiang family had gone bankrupt and Li Chonglou was no longer a good-for-nothing son-in-law.
The next day, just after finishing lunch, Jiang Yuxin received a message invitation from Liu Sanxing.
Jiang Yuxin handed her phone to Li Chonglou to see, and Li Chonglou smiled and said, "Then I'll accompany you this afternoon."
Although Li Chonglou had already sensed that Liu Sanxing had ill intentions, he also wanted to test the specifics. If there was truly a threat, it was best to deal with it as soon as possible.
Li Chonglou absolutely would not allow hidden dangers that were unsafe for Jiang Yuxin to exist.
Time quickly passed until the afternoon. Li Chonglou, as usual, wore casual clothes and drove Jiang Yuxin to the upscale restaurant where Liu Sanxing had arranged to meet.
Ruyi Baotang was considered a top venue in the area, with a minimum consumption of no less than ten thousand yuan. It was clear that Liu Sanxing was doing quite well for himself now.
However, what Li Chonglou did not expect was that he encountered trouble as soon as he arrived at the entrance.
"I'm sorry, sir, you cannot enter without proper attire."
Li Chonglou was stunned, and Jiang Yuxin frowned, about to speak, but Li Chonglou stopped her.
"It's fine, he's just doing his job. I'll go back and change."
Jiang Yuxin was a little upset. She grabbed Li Chonglou and questioned the waiter who blocked their way, "This is considered improper attire? Then what is considered proper attire?"
The waiter glanced up and down at Li Chonglou, a smile that was hard to describe appearing at the corner of his mouth. He said, "At least wear a tie."
The implication was already very clear. Li Chonglou sensed something was not right, and Jiang Yuxin was about to get angry when Liu Sanxing's voice sounded.
"Nonsense! Mr. Li is my guest, how could he be improperly dressed?"
The two looked past the waiter and saw Liu Sanxing walking over quickly with a stern face.
As soon as Liu Sanxing approached, the waiter's attitude changed 180 degrees. He bowed obsequiously to Liu Sanxing and said, "So you're Mr. Liu's friend. My apologies, I was rude. Mr. Li, I didn't know you were Mr. Liu's friend."
Li Chonglou looked at the two with a half-smile, instantly understanding what was going on. Seeing that Jiang Yuxin still wanted to say something, Li Chonglou stopped her again and said, "It's fine, can we go in now?"
"You are Mr. Liu's friend, of course you can enter."
The waiter emphasized the words "Mr. Liu" with particular weight. Liu Sanxing's face flashed with satisfaction, but he continued to scold the waiter with a stern face before leading the two into the hotel.
Jiang Yuxin was not foolish and realized something was wrong. She wanted to leave due to the poor service attitude of the hotel, but Liu Sanxing spoke up to stop her. "Yuxin, we haven't seen each other for so long, shouldn't we have dinner before you leave?"
Jiang Yuxin looked at Li Chonglou. Li Chonglou said indifferently, "It's fine, you can just consider it a gathering. I have no problem."
The main show was clearly yet to come, and Li Chonglou was not about to leave at this moment.
Seeing that Li Chonglou had said so, Jiang Yuxin reluctantly agreed. Then, the two were led by Liu Sanxing to a luxurious private room.
The environment and dishes were, needless to say, top-notch, and there was even a professional band performing, as if to take the concept of high-end to the extreme.
However, Liu Sanxing soon revealed his true colors. During their conversation, he frequently mentioned his various "brilliant" achievements and then inquired about Li Chonglou's situation.
His words and tone were all aimed at belittling Li Chonglou's status. Jiang Yuxin initially thought Liu Sanxing was just being tactless out of consideration for their classmate relationship, but the more she listened, the more she realized this was not a lack of emotional intelligence, but Liu Sanxing's deliberate doing.
Finally, when Liu Sanxing once again subtly belittled Li Chonglou, Jiang Yuxin couldn't help but interrupt and say coldly, "Liu Sanxing, if what you're saying is meant to be catching up, then I'm very sorry, but I think I have something to attend to and must leave."
After speaking, Jiang Yuxin pulled Li Chonglou to leave. Seeing this, Liu Sanxing no longer maintained his fake smile and said in a deep voice, "Yuxin, I really don't understand why you would choose such a loser!"
Jiang Yuxin said coldly, "Liu Sanxing, watch your mouth! This is my husband."
Liu Sanxing chuckled, stood up, pointed at the dishes on the table, and said to Li Chonglou, "Do you know how much these dishes cost?"
Liu Sanxing gestured around the room, "Do you know how much this private room costs?"
Liu Sanxing looked at Li Chonglou with disdain, "If you weren't relying on a woman, I think you wouldn't be able to afford to come here even if you worked your whole life! Do you understand!"
Li Chonglou smiled and did not respond. Instead, Jiang Yuxin was angered and was about to speak, but Liu Sanxing interrupted first, "Yuxin, don't rush. I will show you the true face of certain people."
After speaking, Liu Sanxing took out a check from his pocket, then took out a pen, scribbled a few strokes on it, and handed the check to Li Chonglou, saying, "Here is thirty million. As long as you don't pester Yuxin anymore, this money is yours."
"Liu Sanxing!"
Jiang Yuxin's eyes completely turned cold, while Li Chonglou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
So, he was just a brainless fool. There was nothing to worry about then.
However, at this moment, the hotel owner suddenly pushed open the door and entered.
"Brother Li, why didn't you say anything in advance when you came? I could have prepared something."
Li Chonglou was also stunned to see the enthusiastic person. He didn't know him.
Why was he greeting him so warmly?
