Chapter 91 Not to be Provoked
Zhou Wenhao's robust physique strode into the private room, and at this moment, the entire Liu family was consumed by fear.
Especially the old Madam Liu, she had heard of Zhou Wenhao's reputation.
In Qingzhou City, the Zhou family was absolutely not to be trifled with. This wasn't because the Zhou family possessed immense power, but because they were notorious for their underhanded tactics, operating within both legitimate and illicit circles, and consistently disregarding the law.
Upon hearing that the person before her was Zhou Wenhao, the head of the Zhou family, Old Madam Liu's face instantly changed.
Zhou Wenhao entered with a sneer, looking at everyone and saying, "How dare you people! This restaurant is mine. Today, I am hosting Third Master Hong here, and I didn't expect to encounter a pack of stray dogs like yourselves. What is it, have you decided to latch onto me, Zhou Wenhao? Fine. Since you like this restaurant so much, and you like my Zhou family, why don't you stay? Especially those two young girls, they are quite lovely to look at. My heart is quite pleased seeing them."
Zhou Wenhao chuckled, his gaze fixed on Su Ya and Liu Ran.
Liu Ran's expression shifted, and she frowned, addressing Zhou Wenhao, "Boss Zhou, we are not trying to seize the private room. It's because your restaurant made a mistake first. Since this room was already booked and we had only half-eaten our meal, you are now forcibly trying to kick us out. What is the meaning of this?"
Zhou Wenhao burst into laughter, appraising Liu Ran from head to toe, his eyes betraying undisguised lust.
He declared triumphantly, "Little girl, in my restaurant, I make the rules. Since I want this room, you must leave without condition. Now, not only do I want this room, but I also want both of you young ladies. So today, all of you will stay here and offer me a proper apology."
Old Madam Liu quickly stood up and cupped her hands towards Zhou Wenhao, saying, "Mr. Zhou, it was all a misunderstanding. We will vacate this private room immediately. We implore you to let us go. I am the head of the Liu family, and I ask for your consideration."
Zhou Wenhao heard this and let out a booming laugh. He glanced at Old Madam Liu and sneered, "Give you consideration? Who do you think you are?"
Instead of getting angry, Old Madam Liu immediately put on a fawning smile. She quickly said to Zhou Wenhao, "Mr. Zhou, you are a magnanimous person, please don't hold this against us. I will have those two juniors apologize to you."
With that, Old Madam Liu immediately turned to Liu Ran and said, "Liu Ran, Chen Yang, you two are the ones who caused this trouble. You troublemakers, why aren't you quickly apologizing to Mr. Zhou?"
Liu Xin seized the opportunity to chime in, "You two good-for-nothings! You can't make money, you can't bring glory to the family, but you're the first when it comes to causing trouble. Hurry up and kneel to apologize to Mr. Zhou, beg him to forgive us."
Liu Xuhui also said indignantly, "This private room was originally booked by me. Since Mr. Zhou wants to use it, I am naturally willing to withdraw. But you, Chen Yang, you useless waste, are too ungrateful. Mr. Zhou's restaurant, and he wants to use it temporarily, it's our honor. We should just yield. Yet you insist on attacking someone. Today, you and Liu Ran must kowtow and apologize to Mr. Zhou. You are the main culprit!"
The numerous relatives from the Liu family began to criticize Chen Yang.
Su Ya, who was sitting next to Chen Yang, frowned deeply upon hearing these words.
Just now, it was Chen Yang who had intervened to help her, to rescue both herself and Liu Ran, and the other party was in the wrong first. Now, unexpectedly, the Liu family members were turning on them, criticizing Chen Yang, as if all the blame rested solely on Chen Yang and Liu Ran.
Su Ya said angrily, "Enough! Stop blaming Chen Yang and Liu Ran. They have done nothing wrong. Today, we will resist this to the end. I refuse to believe that we consumers have no rights at all."
Hearing Su Ya speak, Liu Xuhui quickly waved his hands, signaling her to stop talking nonsense.
Liu Xuhui said rapidly, "Miss Su Ya, you are not from Qingzhou City, so please don't get involved. This matter has nothing to do with you. Rest assured, I will protect you and ensure you leave safely."
Su Ya immediately shook her head. She did not want such a kind of safety.
She would rather stand with Chen Yang and Liu Ran, and fight this matter to the very end.
Zhou Wenhao let out a loud, booming laugh. He cracked the knuckles of his ten fingers with a series of pops.
Zhou Wenhao strode towards Su Ya and Liu Ran, a look of amusement in his eyes.
Zhou Wenhao nodded and said, "You two beautiful girls, I truly like your fiery tempers. Since the three of you have such backbone, then very well. Today, the three of you will stay. Let's see how I entertain you. The rest of you, get out immediately."
Old Madam Liu and Liu Xuhui and the others all stood up upon hearing this.
Liu Xuhui's expression changed. Then, he pleaded with Su Ya, "Miss Su, please don't be stubborn at this critical juncture. Listen to me and obediently apologize to Mr. Zhou, so that you can leave here."
Su Ya snorted and completely ignored Liu Xuhui. She simply held her phone, having already dialed the emergency number.
Zhou Wenhao paid no attention to her.
He didn't care about the ordinary police officers of Qingzhou City.
To Zhou Wenhao, on his territory, he was not afraid of being arrested for anything he did.
Old Madam Liu and the others immediately stood up, bowed respectfully to Zhou Wenhao, and then they all left the private room.
Old Madam Liu sighed, "Su Ya, this woman, in terms of looks, education, and family background, she is quite good. It's a pity her temper is too stubborn, making her unsuitable as a daughter-in-law for our Liu family."
"It is indeed a pity about Su Ya. Think about it, with whom could she not have associated, but she insisted on associating with trash like Chen Yang and Liu Ran? What kind of future can they have? It's likely that Miss Su's purity will be lost here today."
"What a shame, such a good woman. If she had married my brother, they would have been quite a match. But now she's surely going to be taken advantage of by Zhou Wenhao. Such a woman, our Liu family cannot accept her anymore either," Liu Xin said, shaking her head.
All the members of the Liu family felt it was a shame for Su Ya.
Liu Xuhui, however, had a grim expression and felt very depressed. He couldn't understand why Su Ya didn't appreciate him despite his kindness towards her.
Was this woman simple-minded, lacking in intelligence?
Now it was all good, she had been kept by Zhou Wenhao. What good end could she possibly have? She would surely be taken advantage of by Zhou Wenhao.
The thought of Su Ya no longer being a pure woman sent waves of pain through Liu Xuhui's heart.
However, he didn't do anything. He only felt resentment in his heart, wondering why Su Ya was so foolish, so tactless, so stupid.
Just as the Liu family members had exited the private room.
Suddenly, a startled cry from Su Ya echoed from within the private room, followed by Liu Ran's furious roar: "Get away!"
The Liu family members all shook their heads upon hearing these sounds. Liu Xin's eyes showed a hint of schadenfreude.
However, in the next moment, with a bang, the private room door was smashed open.
A robust figure flew out directly, knocking over the door panel, and landed in the corridor outside.
