"Lu Yang, what do you mean by that? These are all Shi Min's relatives, they're here to see Shi Min, not you. What are you so proud of?"
Seeing Lu Yang get angry, Li Xiumei immediately brought up Tang Shimin. She knew that as long as Tang Shimin was mentioned, Lu Yang would soften up.
As expected, upon hearing Shi Min's name, Lu Yang paused for a moment. Then, without another word, he picked up the vegetables and meat and headed to the kitchen.
"Xiumei, why are you letting this good-for-nothing live in such a nice villa? You're inviting trouble!"
Seeing that Li Xiumei hadn't kicked Lu Yang out, Li Zhongquan immediately said.
"Dad, when this villa was bought, this good-for-nothing also contributed some money, so he has to live here!"
Li Xiumei lied to Li Zhongquan.
"Alright, then you must keep a close eye on this good-for-nothing, don't let him steal anything!"
Li Zhongquan continued.
"Dad, I will!"
Li Xiumei nodded.
"Xiumei, it's almost time for dinner, what are we eating?"
At this moment, an old woman walked over and asked Li Xiumei. This old woman was Li Xiumei's mother, and her personality was similar to Li Zhongquan's, always calculating and nitpicking.
She often shortchanged customers when selling vegetables at her doorstep. When discovered, she would cry, make a scene, and threaten to hang herself. Over time, both she and her husband became notorious for being troublesome in the village, and no one wanted to associate with them. Nearing seventy, they didn't even have a single friend.
"Sister will take everyone to a five-star hotel for dinner later. I know that five-star hotel, Sister took me there last time, and the food was delicious!"
Before Li Xiumei could speak, Li Xiumei's younger sister, standing beside her, said.
"Uh... yes, yes, we're going to a five-star hotel for dinner!"
The conversation had reached this point, so Li Xiumei had no choice but to agree reluctantly.
"Lu Yang, lend me your car. I'll take them out to eat!"
Li Xiumei walked into the kitchen and said coldly upon seeing Lu Yang cooking.
"Can't you take them there by taxi yourself?"
Lu Yang replied coldly.
"You can't get a taxi around here at all!"
"If you don't lend me the car, then I'll have to have dinner here with them!"
Seeing Lu Yang's indifferent expression, Li Xiumei immediately resorted to her usual unreasonable tactics.
"Here, take them away quickly. Eat wherever you want, and find a place for them to sleep tonight!"
"You should know that Cloud Top Villa is the territory of the Dark Night Underworld King. I'm just a steward. If the Dark Night Underworld King finds out you're bringing so many people here causing trouble, your fate will be even more regrettable than Qin Xiaoyun's!"
Lu Yang, thinking of Li Xiumei's behavior, brought up the Dark Night Underworld King again. After all, the Dark Night Underworld King was notorious, and no matter how capable Li Xiumei was, she wouldn't dare to offend him.
Indeed, upon hearing the name Dark Night Underworld King, Li Xiumei's face instantly changed. She quickly grabbed the keys and left Cloud Top Villa with her relatives.
Lu Yang didn't care where they went to eat. Soon, Lu Yang finished cooking and brought the food to Tang Shimin, feeding her bite by bite.
After dinner, Lu Yang carefully changed Tang Shimin's dressing.
"Lu Yang, my face feels itchy. Is it scabbing over?"
Tang Shimin asked Lu Yang in a low voice.
"Yes, but it will be fine soon. Once it scabs over, it will fall off quickly, and your face will be flawless again!"
Lu Yang said with a smile.
"I hope so!"
Tang Shimin lowered her head, lost in thought.
Lu Yang naturally guessed what Tang Shimin was thinking. She was probably worried about whether her face would be scarred. Lu Yang wasn't worried about this at all. The Tai Gu Yi Dao, created by ancient powerful beings, was incredibly miraculous. It could even save someone from the brink of death with just one breath left, let alone a small scar.
After changing her dressing, Lu Yang left Tang Shimin's room and returned to his own to get some sleep before going to the company.
However, before Lu Yang could even wake up, Li Xiumei and her relatives returned, reeking of alcohol.
"Everyone, please make yourselves at home. Don't be shy!"
Li Xiumei shouted loudly to everyone as she lay on the sofa.
"Sister Xiumei, my son just graduated from vocational college this year. Can you arrange a job for him?"
A middle-aged woman asked Li Xiumei very respectfully.
"It's a small matter. I'll have Shi Min arrange it tomorrow!"
Li Xiumei, clearly drunk, gasped for breath on the sofa, agreeing to every request.
"Thank you, Sister Xiumei!"
The middle-aged woman was immediately excited.
"Xiumei, the third child's family has been staying at home for several years. Can you find him a decent job? After all, he's part of our family bloodline!"
Li Zhongquan also came over and said to Li Xiumei.
"No problem. As long as they are part of the Li family, I will arrange everything!"
Li Xiumei's eyes were closed, but she agreed to everything.
"Good, I'll start compiling a list now and count all the Li family members. Xiumei, you can arrange them as you see fit. Our Li family must develop into a prestigious clan!"
Li Zhongquan said excitedly.
At this moment, Feng Tenglong let out a "wow" and vomited directly onto the carpet in the living room, instantly spreading a foul odor throughout the entire villa.
"Sister, Tenglong threw up, what should we do?"
Li Xiulan asked Li Xiumei upon seeing this.
However, Li Xiumei was already drunk and fast asleep, like a dead pig, completely unresponsive.
Li Xiulan's eyes darted around, and she had an idea. She arranged for everyone to find rooms to stay in, while she quietly took her family of three and left Cloud Top Villa.
Hearing the commotion, Lu Yang's expression instantly turned cold, and he walked out of his room.
At this moment, the living room of Cloud Top Villa was in a complete mess. Besides Feng Tenglong's messy vomit, several other people had also vomited. The stench filled with the smell of alcohol permeated the entire Cloud Top Villa, along with countless pieces of garbage thrown haphazardly.
Li Xiumei and her relatives were sprawled in various states on the sofas, carpets, and tables in the living room, completely unrestrained.
Seeing this, Lu Yang's face turned extremely cold.
He hadn't expected Li Xiumei to completely disregard his words and treat Cloud Top Villa like a junkyard. Just the stained carpet alone would cost a hundred thousand, and the sofas and tables were also chipped. Replacing them would cost over a million.
Furthermore, the BJ100 he lent Li Xiumei had a large dent, and its left headlight was broken. The repair would cost around three hundred thousand.
All of this added up to 1.5 million. This was the damage caused by Li Xiumei bringing her relatives to Cloud Top Villa just once. If this continued, they would eventually tear down Cloud Top Villa.
Lu Yang walked up to Li Xiumei and slapped her.
During his three years as a live-in son-in-law, Li Xiumei had slapped Lu Yang countless times. But now, Lu Yang was no longer the same Lu Yang. He returned the slap.
Although Lu Yang had controlled his strength, the slap still sent Li Xiumei reeling, instantly bringing her back to her senses.
"You good-for-nothing, how dare you hit me? Are you tired of living?"
Li Xiumei roared at Lu Yang and raised her hand to scratch his face.
But before Li Xiumei's hand could reach his face, Lu Yang slapped her again, stunning her completely.
"Li Xiumei, what did I tell you before? I told you to take them out. Look at this now, what have you done to the entire Cloud Top Villa?"
"Do you think the Dark Night Underworld King would directly kill you on the spot if he saw this scene?"
Lu Yang said coldly.
Hearing Lu Yang's words, Li Xiumei instantly stood up. When she saw the chaotic state of the living room in Cloud Top Villa, she was filled with extreme fear. If the Dark Night Underworld King returned at that moment and saw the scene, he would probably kill her.
"That... I'll deal with it now. Lu Yang, you must not tell the Dark Night Underworld King. I promise, I'll restore Cloud Top Villa to its previous state!"
After speaking, Li Xiumei immediately woke up all her relatives and kicked them out.
