As soon as Li Xiumei finished speaking, a Porsche stopped in front of everyone. The person who got out of the car was Hu Biao, the one who had made Lu Yang compensate him thirty thousand yuan that day.
"What are you doing here?"
Seeing Hu Biao and the two familiar Porsches beside him, Li Xiumei instinctively flinched back.
But Hu Biao didn't pay attention to Li Xiumei. Instead, he carried a bag and walked up to Lu Yang.
"Mr. Lu, I'm sorry. I was blind and offended you. Here is your money, returned to you. Please be magnanimous and let me go like a fart!"
Hu Biao's attitude towards Lu Yang was extremely respectful, as if he were meeting his grandfather.
His face was bruised and swollen, clearly beaten by someone!
What was going on?
Li Xiumei was instantly dumbfounded. She couldn't understand why this man with a brutish face was suddenly so respectful to Lu Yang and had so much money. It was she who had scratched his car with her electric scooter, and then pushed Lu Yang out to take the blame. Did Lu Yang really pay thirty thousand yuan?
"What is this?"
Lu Yang was also a little confused, not knowing why Hu Biao was bringing the money and apologizing to him repeatedly.
"Mr. Lu, I don't know your identity and have offended you greatly. I beg you to spare me!"
Hu Biao quickly continued.
After he took Lu Yang's money, two people with phantom-like movements found him that night and beat him black and blue, nearly killing him. Everything he was doing now was at their request: to apologize and not expose Lu Yang's true identity.
"Forget it, you can go."
Lu Yang waved his hand and let them leave.
"Yes, yes!"
Hu Biao heard this as if he had been granted a general pardon and immediately drove away.
A few seconds later, Li Xiumei looked at Lu Yang suspiciously and asked, "Lu Yang, what exactly is going on? Why would Hu Biao bring you money?"
"You still haven't explained last time!"
"Actually… Hu Biao extorted thirty thousand yuan from me last time. Perhaps the relevant departments found out and made him return the money to me!"
Lu Yang told a fabricated story full of loopholes.
"Really?"
"Then what about this money? You're a good-for-nothing, where did you get so much money?"
Li Xiumei pointed at the thirty thousand yuan on the ground and asked coldly.
"This is the money from selling my ancestral home. It was originally for my grandmother's treatment. Unexpectedly, a distant relative took my grandmother away for treatment, so this money has been in my card!"
Lu Yang continued.
"You good-for-nothing, you have money but don't give it to me, and you want to pocket it?"
"From now on, this money is mine!"
Li Xiumei cursed and then picked up the money bag, putting in great effort to throw the thirty thousand yuan into the trunk.
"I didn't expect this good-for-nothing to be completely useless. With this thirty thousand yuan, I can be glamorous again!"
After getting the money, Li Xiumei's face was radiant, and she said to Lu Yang, "Given your good performance today, you can come with us to eat. However, there's no room in the car, so you ride your electric scooter. The place is the Guoxing Hotel!"
Li Xiumei said and got into the driver's seat.
The three people sitting in the car, Liu Xiulan, were almost drooling at the sight of the thirty thousand yuan. Li Xiulan already had a plan in mind and was determined to trick them out of the thirty thousand yuan, or they wouldn't leave Li Xiumei's house.
"Shimin, get in the car quickly!"
Li Xiumei started the Audi and shouted at Tang Shimin.
"I want to ride Lu Yang's electric scooter!"
Tang Shimin pouted and said!
"Forget it, go however you want. I'm leaving first!"
Li Xiumei said, started the car, and drove towards Guoxing Hotel with Li Xiulan's family of three. Lu Yang, on the other hand, rode his electric scooter with Tang Shimin, following them unhurriedly.
Seeing this scene, countless passers-by couldn't help but look sideways, with only one thought in their minds: a fresh flower stuck in the dung, a toad eating swan meat!
Half an hour later, Lu Yang and Tang Shimin had arrived at Guoxing Hotel.
In an ordinary private room, Li Xiumei handed the menu to Li Xiulan's family and said enthusiastically, "Treat this as your own home, order whatever you want!"
Li Xiulan's family naturally did not refuse. They ordered the most expensive items: abalone, lobster, bird's nest, and shark fin, not missing any. Hearing their order, Li Xiumei felt a pang of pain but still put on a nonchalant appearance.
After ordering, Li Xiulan asked for a bottle of red wine, but this time the red wine was not expensive, only five thousand yuan.
When the dishes were served, Li Xiulan poured red wine for Li Xiumei, and then their family of three took turns toasting Li Xiumei. Only Lu Yang and Tang Shimin were treated as air by them.
Li Xiumei had a low alcohol tolerance, but she couldn't resist the flattery from Li Xiulan's family, which made her feel very comfortable. As a result, she drank cup after cup. Li Xiumei drank more than half of the 750ml bottle of red wine alone and was naturally dizzy and drunk.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Li Xiulan went straight to the point.
"Sister, to be honest, we came here to ask you for a favor!"
"Look at your eldest nephew, he's not young anymore, and he still doesn't have a girlfriend. A while ago, someone introduced him to a girl. Her conditions are good in all aspects, and Zhiyuan likes her very much. However, the other party wants a bride price of 200,000 yuan!"
"As you know, our family has not been doing well these past few years, so we can't afford the 200,000 yuan. That's why we've come to rely on you, sister. You are the most successful in the Li family now. 200,000 yuan is nothing to you!"
"I hope you can lend your eldest nephew 200,000 yuan for the sake of your eldest nephew, so that Zhiyuan can get married. We will definitely return it as soon as we have money!"
Li Xiulan praised Li Xiumei profusely.
"Xiulan, what are you talking about?"
"Zhiyuan is my eldest nephew, he's closer to me than my own son. Not to mention 200,000, even 300,000, if I have it, I'll definitely give it to my eldest nephew!"
Li Xiumei said with a wave of her hand, proudly.
"Haha, I knew that Zhiyuan's maternal aunt loves her eldest nephew the most. Zhiyuan, why don't you thank your aunt quickly!"
Li Xiulan quickly said to Zhiyuan.
"Thank you, Aunt!"
Feng Zhiyuan immediately got up and thanked Li Xiumei upon hearing Li Xiulan's words.
"We are all relatives, so it's too polite to say thank you!"
"Lu Yang, what are you standing there for? Take my car keys, go to the trunk of my car, take out 200,000 yuan, and give it to my eldest nephew!"
Li Xiumei ordered Lu Yang.
