Chapter 296: Chapter 296 Things Have Gotten Out of Hand
"Your daughter-in-law?" Li Zixuan frowned, then said in a cold voice, "What do you mean your daughter-in-law? She's my girlfriend. What nonsense are you spouting? Move aside immediately, or don't blame me for being rude."
"She is my daughter-in-law, and this is kidnapping. Let her go right now, or I'm calling the police!" Xu Deming stood his ground, clearly determined not to let Li Zixuan take the girl away.
"You old fool, I see you won't take a toast but will be forced to drink a forfeit. Out of my way!" Li Zixuan's face turned fierce, and he kicked Xu Deming to the ground.
"Old Xu, are you okay? How can you hit people? Help, someone! These people are kidnapping and beating someone. Someone, help!" Jiang Qiuping quickly went to help Xu Deming up while calling for help.
"You aren't going to take her away. In broad daylight, you are lawless!"
Liu Kaile and Song Li stood in front of the group, blocking their way.
"Help, I really don't know them, they're trying to kidnap me!" Zhao Yulu also shouted for help.
Now was not the time for explanations; the first priority was to get away.
This once again drew the attention of the customers.
"It really does seem like a kidnapping!"
"To commit a kidnapping in broad daylight, this is just lawlessness."
Chapter Stay:
"We absolutely cannot let them take the person away!"
"Call the police right now!"
Some customers immediately moved to intervene, and security personnel also approached.
"Young Master Li, we should go. In this situation, there's no way we can take her," Chen Guanglei said anxiously.
With the situation having escalated like this, it was certain they couldn't take her away anymore.
"You old bastard, how dare you ruin my plans. Don't let me see you again," Li Zixuan glared fiercely at Xu Deming, dropped a harsh word, and left with his people.
Everyone could see that Li Zixuan was no ordinary person, so they didn't stop them from leaving.
Seeing that the situation was resolved, the customers returned to their seats to eat.
"Uncle, are you all right?" Zhao Yulu came up to Xu Deming and asked with concern.
Uncle?
Xu Deming, Jiang Qiuping, Liu Kaile, and Song Li were all stunned.
Seeing their reactions, Zhao Yulu took the initiative to explain, "You must be Xu Yang's father, right? Zhao Yuxin is my younger sister."
Upon hearing this, Xu Deming and Jiang Qiuping suddenly realized.
So, she wasn't their daughter-in-law but their son's ex-girlfriend, now their big sister-in-law.
They were familiar with Zhao Yulu's circumstances.
They never imagined that they would meet Zhao Yulu under such circumstances, in such a manner.
If Zhao Yulu hadn't broken up with their son, she would now be their daughter-in-law.
Liu Kaile and Song Li were also beginning to understand. The girl in front of them must be the twin sister of Xu Deming's daughter-in-law; otherwise, she couldn't look so similar that even Xu Deming and Jiang Qiuping couldn't recognize her.
"Yu Lu, it's you. I thought you were Yu Xin. I'm fine. By the way, what was the deal with those people just now?" Xu Deming asked.
"They're just some scumbag rich kids. One of them I knew. Luckily you were here; otherwise, I might have really been taken away by them. I didn't expect them to dare to be so lawless," Zhao Yulu said, still shaken by the experience.
Luckily, she encountered Xu Deming and Jiang Qiuping; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"It's good you're safe. In the future, if you encounter such a situation, you need to yell out loud so that other people are aware of your situation. There will be people who will stand up for you," Xu Deming said.
"I was a bit frightened just now and completely forgot about that," Zhao Yulu said.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Yulu thanked them again and left.
Xu Deming and the others were also finished eating, so they paid the bill and left.
Meanwhile.
Chen Guanglei and his group got into the car and left.
Li Zixuan grumbled unhappily, "Damn it, what bad luck. It's not every day you see a beauty you like, and then some old geezer ruins it."
Chen Guanglei hesitated before saying, "Young Master Li, this matter might get a bit troublesome."
Li Zixuan frowned at Chen Guanglei, "What trouble could there be?"
Chen Guanglei said, "Zhao Yulu's background is quite special."
"What's so special about it?" Li Zixuan said. "Didn't you say she doesn't have any backing and comes from an ordinary family?"
Chen Guanglei braved himself and said, "His family is ordinary, but a bit special, she is Xu Yang's aunt by marriage."
Li Zixuan frowned again, "Who is Xu Yang, why do I feel like I've heard this name before?"
Chen Guanglei explained, "The boss of River Salvage."
"What!" Li Zixuan's face changed, "Damn it, Chen Guanglei, you said he had no background, now you are saying she is Xu Yang's aunt by marriage, what the hell is that supposed to mean?"
Of course, he had heard of Xu Yang's big name.
In just a year, Xu Yang had become a billionaire.
Every investment he made yielded astonishing returns, astonishing many tycoons.
Not only that, Xu Yang's own network of connections was ridiculously strong, rubbing shoulders with top second-generation rich like Wang Xiaocong and Jiang Yuheng.
There had even been reports of Xu Yang chatting and laughing with tycoons like the wealthy Zhang Yimin.
If he had known Zhao Yulu was Xu Yang's aunt by marriage, he definitely would not have dared to mess with her.
Although his own dad was also a billionaire, his network of connections could not compare to Xu Yang's.
A relationship like that with the wealthy Zhang Yimin is not something just anyone can climb up to.
Chen Guanglei said with a wry smile, "Young Master Li, the situation with Zhao Yulu is a bit complicated, I wanted to explain earlier, but you didn't give me a chance to do so."
Li Zixuan looked upset, "Are you saying it's my fault?"
Chen Guanglei quickly said, "I wouldn't dare."
Though he said he wouldn't dare, in his heart, he truly felt that way.
He did bear some resentment towards Li Zixuan.
After all, if Zhao Yuxin, Zhao Yulu's sister, found out about this, and asked Xu Yang to stand up for Zhao Yulu, then he might get implicated.
However, he did not dare to show his resentment towards Li Zixuan.
Li Zixuan asked, "So what do we do now?"
He knew things could be pretty serious.
Xu Yang's wrath was not something he could handle.
It really was because Xu Yang's network was too strong.
Chen Guanglei said, "Young Master Li, don't panic, Zhao Yulu and her sister don't get along very well, so she probably won't tell her sister about it, and that means Xu Yang won't find out, and there won't be any trouble."
Li Zixuan asked, "Are you sure?"
Chen Guanglei nodded, "Sure!"
Given the relationship between Zhao Yulu, Zhao Yuxin, and Xu Yang, Zhao Yulu probably wouldn't tell Zhao Yuxin, and even less likely tell Xu Yang.
After all, things hadn't reached an irreparable stage.
If Zhao Yulu really had been taken to the hotel and played by Li Zixuan, then it might be a different story.
Chen Guanglei was quite relieved that someone had stepped in to prevent it.
But what puzzled him was that the two people claimed Zhao Yulu was their daughter-in-law.
Could it be that Zhao Yulu had really gotten married?
With Zhao Yulu's personality, she shouldn't have gotten married so quickly.
Even if she found a rich second-generation boyfriend, she wouldn't marry so fast.
Besides, those middle-aged men and women didn't look wealthy at all, they were obviously just an ordinary family.
Zhao Yulu wouldn't have married a man from an ordinary family, would she?
"That's a relief," Li Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief.
If it wasn't absolutely necessary, he really didn't want to have a conflict with Xu Yang.
After all, his family's assets were only about the same as Xu Yang's.
But when it came to top-tier connections, he was far behind.
Even if Xu Yang couldn't really harm him, it was still better to avoid conflict.
Otherwise, even if Xu Yang couldn't do much to him, causing trouble with such a person would also mean trouble with his own father, and at the very least, he'd be in for a scolding.
