Chapter 298 Proactive Resolution
"I don't know about that," Chen Guanglei dared not respond to that remark.
He did have some basic understanding of Li Zixuan's situation. Otherwise, how could he ingratiate himself with the other party?
So, he knew what Li Zixuan was like.
But he couldn't say it, otherwise if Li Zixuan found out, he wouldn't end up in a good place.
"Fine, I'll let him know what happens to people who hit my dad," Xu Yang said coldly.
"Xu Yang, look, this whole incident from beginning to end has nothing to do with me. Your dad being hit by Li Zixuan has even less to do with me. You're not going to go after me too, are you?" Chen Guanglei asked.
"Your matter can wait until I've dealt with Li Zixuan. Anyway, this all started because of you, and you're on the same side as Li Zixuan. You can't escape responsibility."
With that, Xu Yang hung up the phone.
Chen Guanglei gave a wry smile and put down his phone.
It was obvious that Xu Yang didn't intend to let him off the hook.
After a moment's thought, he dialed Li Zixuan's phone number.
Soon, the call was answered.
Chen Guanglei said, "Young Master Li, there's a bit of trouble."
Li Zixuan asked, "What trouble?"
Chen Guanglei said, "It's about Zhao Yulu."
Li Zixuan frowned and said, "Didn't you say there was no problem? Why are you now saying there's trouble - is that Xu Yang going to stand up for her?"
Chen Guanglei said, "Xu Yang isn't standing up for her. He's standing up for the person you hit."
"The person I hit?" Li Zixuan said, "You mean that old geezer? What does that old geezer have to do with Xu Yang?"
Chen Guanglei replied bitterly, "That's Xu Yang's father."
"What!" Li Zixuan exclaimed, "How could it be, wasn't it said that Zhao Yulu is his daughter-in-law? How could she be Xu Yang's father?"
Chen Guanglei explained, "Young Master Li, the situation is a bit complicated. Zhao Yulu and her sister are twin sisters. Zhao Yulu used to be Xu Yang's girlfriend. After they broke up, Xu Yang got together with Zhao Yulu's sister. Now Zhao Yulu is Xu Yang's aunt by marriage. Because the sisters look almost exactly alike, Xu Yang's father mistook Zhao Yulu for his own daughter-in-law."
"Fuck!" Li Zixuan was shocked again, "This Xu Yang, sleeping with the sister after the sister, and they are such stunning twin sisters, what kind of damn luck has he stumbled upon."
Since Zhao Yulu was so beautiful, her twin sister definitely had to be equally beautiful.
It made him feel a mix of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Thinking that he, too, was a wealthy heir with billions at his disposal, yet he had never had such luck.
What merit or ability did Xu Yang have to enjoy such blessings?
It's just fucking unfair.
"Young Master Li, now's not the time to sigh over this," Chen Guanglei said, somewhat speechless.
Was this the time to talk about Xu Yang's dumb luck?
It was time to think about how to face Xu Yang's fury.
"Right, right, this isn't the time to talk about that," Li Zixuan snapped back to reality. "So, what should we do now? I didn't mean to hit his father. If I had known it was his dad, I definitely wouldn't have hit him, and if I'd known Zhao Yulu was his ex and aunt by marriage, I wouldn't have messed with her. The responsibility for this lies with you—you need to come up with a solution to fix this."
He couldn't think of any solution, so he had to rely on Chen Guanglei to come up with one.
Chen Guanglei had expected this before making the call and had already thought of a solution, so he said, "Young Master Li, we didn't know before, so we couldn't do anything. But now that we do, we should take the initiative to solve it, not wait for Xu Yang to come to us and then try to explain."
Li Zixuan nodded and said, "You're right, so how do we take the initiative?"
Chen Guanglei said, "You can call Xu Yang, apologize, and indicate that you will provide compensation. As for what to compensate, that's up to you. If Xu Yang is not satisfied with the compensation you offer, you can ask him what he wants. I think, as long as it placates Xu Yang, it doesn't matter if the price is a bit steep.
Anyway, we can't let this issue escalate any further, otherwise his wrath might make you suffer a lot."
Li Zixuan nodded repeatedly, "Right, right, you're right. I'll call him right away and offer compensation in the hope that he won't pursue this matter."
Chen Guanglei said, "Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I'll send you Xu Yang's phone number, and you can call him."
"Alright." Li Zixuan put down his phone, not calling immediately, but first considering what kind of compensation to offer.
"What's wrong, Young Master Li?"
The two rich second-generation followers, Gu Xing and Cao Feng, were sitting beside Li Zixuan.
They only caught the gist of the conversation they overheard but hadn't listened carefully, so they asked him about it.
At this moment, they had just returned to the hotel.
"The old guy I hit today... he's Xu Yang's father…" Li Zixuan briefly explained the situation.
"Holy shit, it's Xu Yang's father!"
"So what do we do now?"
Gu Xing and Cao Feng's faces turned pale with shock.
They were also aware of Xu Yang's background.
Especially Xu Yang's unbridled way of conducting himself.
Take his conflict with Hua'an Film and Television, for example, it was just like that.
He exposed the dark secrets of Hua'an Film and Television's executives and artists, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
As for how Xu Yang got hold of those dark secrets, no one knew.
And because nobody knew, that's what made Xu Yang so fearsome.
If you crossed Xu Yang, who knew when your dirty laundry would be aired by him.
Their families' companies, or their own actions, had more or less some issues.
If those were exposed, nobody could save them.
This was also why Li Zixuan did not want to have a conflict with Xu Yang.
"Chen Guanglei said it's best to take the initiative to call and apologize, and to offer compensation proactively. What do you think would be the best way to compensate?" Li Zixuan asked.
"I think giving money directly shows the most sincerity."
"I agree, after all, you don't know if other forms of compensation will be to his liking."
Gu Xing and Cao Feng were unanimous in their opinion.
"Makes sense. But how much should we give?" Li Zixuan couldn't think of any other form of compensation and agreed with the idea of offering money, but how much to compensate was another question.
"This… it's up to you, Young Master Li. Whatever amount you think is appropriate, just compensate that amount."
"Exactly, you just kicked Xu Yang's father once, and the guy didn't suffer any severe injuries. Just consider and decide for yourself how much is appropriate to give for compensation. That's all you need to do."
With the compensation amount unclear, Gu Xing and Cao Feng could only let Li Zixuan make the decision.
"If the compensation amount you propose doesn't satisfy Xu Yang, you can ask him how much he actually wants. As long as you can afford it, you can agree to it," Gu Xing suggested further.
"Makes sense. Let's do that. I'll call him."
Li Zixuan nodded, took out his phone, and dialed Xu Yang's number.
Chen Guanglei had already sent him Xu Yang's phone number.
