Chapter 1698 Money Is Not Everything
Restaurant private room.
Even in the private room, Li Dong's hat still did not take off.
It wasn't until the waiter left that Li Dong took off his hat, shook his head slightly and said, "The troubles of celebrities."
Yuan Xue added calmly: "The troubles of celebrities dating their lovers in private."
Li Dong was choked for a moment, feeling a little helpless, and said with a wry smile: "Does it need to be so straightforward?"
A faint smile appeared on Yuan Xue's delicate cheeks, "You used to like to stimulate me with words, but now I'm just learning from you."
Li Dong couldn't help but think of the past when Yuan Xue said that.
In high school, he seemed to really like to stimulate Yuan Xue in this way.
I can't understand her cold and arrogant expression, but maybe there are some other things mixed in.
For teenagers whose hormones have just sprouted, who cannot attract the attention of the opposite sex in other ways, perhaps a poisonous tongue is also a good way.
Of course, such consequences are unpredictable and may be noticed, but more likely to attract greater disgust.
Naturally, the little boy's thinking cannot consider the possible consequences.
The two talked and laughed softly for a while, and Li Dong talked about the fund company while eating.
...
The restaurant is downstairs.
While Yuan Zhongqing and his wife were waiting anxiously, a van hurriedly stopped beside them.
Four men came down one after another from the car, they were not strong, but ordinary.
As soon as he saw Yuan Zhongqing, the leading middle-aged man hurriedly greeted him, "Boss."
Yuan Zhongqing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the people arrived, and immediately said: "I took a look, and there are only two of them. They seem to be engaged in pyramid schemes. Just go up and scare them."
There is no mention of beating people, they are all workers, ordinary people, and the boss makes it okay to let these security guards fight with people. In this society ruled by law, unless people are selected in advance and adequate rewards are prepared, that is enough.
Yuan Zhongqing didn't want to make a fuss either,
As long as the other party doesn't come to lie to his daughter anymore.
Hearing what the boss said, the security guards felt a lot more relaxed.
Everyone is just making a living, and if they really want to fight against the gangsters, they may not have the guts.
But if there are two pyramid schemes, then there is no problem.
What's more, there are more people on their side, so it's easier.
The few people didn't ask any more questions. Yuan Zhongqing was afraid that his daughter would suffer, so he didn't delay, and quickly led them into the restaurant.
...
As soon as Yuan Zhongqing led the people upstairs, a report came from Tan Yong's headset on the side of Li Dong's private room.
After listening to the report, Tan Yong suddenly felt a toothache.
When we were in the car, what Li Dong said was vivid in his memory.
The boss wanted to chat with the cheap old man, and it seemed that his wish came true.
At this moment, Tan Yong didn't know whether to wish the boss his wish come true, or to sympathize.
For a moment, Tan Yong even thought that maybe he could see how the boss changed his face later.
Of course, thinking about it, Tan Yong quickly dropped the idea.
Trouble is coming!
Ms. Yuan's parents brought people to kill them angrily, obviously in the rhythm of finding fault.
If it was someone else, Tan Yong's first thing to do at this time was to let a few guys not far away show up immediately, and the boss's safety came first.
But now, it was also the first time Tan Yong had encountered such a thing. He knew that the other party was looking for trouble, but he was a little restrained.
There is no time to think about it, the restaurant is not big, those people are probably coming over soon.
Tan Yong hurried out of the private room, and then knocked on the door of the next private room.
...
In the private room.
Li Dong was talking to Yuan Xue about the specific things to do when he went to Xiangjiang, when he heard the knock on the door, he said casually, "Come in."
However, Tan Yong didn't enter the door. He coughed lightly through the door and said, "Mr. Li, Ms. Yuan's parents are here. They are just over the corridor... There are still 20 meters left. Let me block it for you for a while..."
After leaving these words, Tan Yong's voice was no longer outside the door, obviously he went to help Li Dong block the gun.
When Li Dong heard this, his chopsticks, which were about to pick up vegetables, paused for a moment, and then his face turned green and he said, "What should I do?"
Yuan Xue was also at a loss, but quickly regained her composure, and said with a light smile, "Why don't you climb the window to hide?"
Li Dong's face turned black, and he said depressedly: "Is this what I should do?"
After all, Li Dong still looked at the window subconsciously, but when he saw the street below, Li Dong gave up this thought in an instant.
He would rather be beaten up by Yuan Zhongqing and his wife than do such a shameful thing.
After exhaling, Li Dong got up and said: "What should be faced is still to be faced, and you can't hide for a lifetime.
It's just that I didn't prepare so fast, and the preparation was not enough. "
Yuan Xue was not too nervous, she nodded slightly when she heard the words, and said, "I didn't think I would let you see my parents right now, maybe it would be better to have a baby."
"Cough cough cough..."
Li Dong was choked, glanced at the woman, saw her seriousness, couldn't help but smiled wryly: "You think more than I do, tell me, your parents won't beat me up later, right?"
"No." Yuan Xue added, "My dad can't beat you, and you don't dare to beat him."
Li Dong laughed again, but his mood was much calmer.
He didn't go out to greet him. Although the restaurant is not big, there are people eating upstairs, so it's not convenient for him to go out.
...
Outside the private room.
When Yuan Zhongqing saw Tan Yong, he always felt familiar.
He was downstairs just now, separated by a distance, he didn't see Tan Yong and Li Dong's appearance clearly, not to mention Li Dong was still wearing a hat.
But he met Tan Yong, just by chance.
When the Yuan family was deceived, Li Dong brought Tan Yong and Zhou Haidong back to Dongping.
But after all, it's been a few years, and I've only met him once, so even though the face looks familiar, Yuan Zhongqing didn't recognize it for a while.
Tan Yong has been following Li Dong for the past few years. Although he is not a big shot himself, he has seen many big shots, and his temperament is completely different from before.
Coupled with the fact that the security team in charge of Li Dong was originally from the army, one stop forward gave a sense of oppression to the security guards brought by Yuan Zhongqing.
Several security guards stopped involuntarily, and Yuan Zhongqing also recognized that this was the person who got off the car just now.
Taking a close look at Tan Yong, he believed that the other party was Yuan Zhongqing, who was engaged in pyramid schemes, but now he was a little uncertain.
Human temperament is often indescribable.
But good or bad, Yuan Zhongqing has been doing business for so many years, so his eyesight is not bad.
When Tan Yong went to this stop, Yuan Zhongqing knew that he might have made a mistake.
The guy in front of him, even if he is really engaged in pyramid schemes, is still the leader among them, not just an ordinary little leader.
At this moment, Yuan Zhongqing didn't know what to say. He brought people over aggressively. Originally, according to his own idea, he found the private room, rushed in and dragged his daughter away. If the other party dared to stop him, he would let the security guard scare them.
This is his previous script arrangement.
But now, as soon as he went upstairs, the other party came over on his own initiative, disrupting his rhythm somewhat.
Just when Yuan Zhongqing was thinking about what to say, the cold and stern aura on Tan Yong's body suddenly subsided, and he immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Yuan, Ms. Li, hello."
Yuan Zhongqing was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "You know us?"
Tan Yong smiled and nodded, "Actually, I have met Mr. Yuan, but maybe you don't remember it.
Are you here to see Miss Yuan? "
Tan Yong is a rough man, but after years of hard work, he is not rude when he speaks.
Yuan Zhongqing didn't remember where he had met him for a while, but he nodded and said, "Are you A Xue's friend?
My girl is not familiar with her place of life in Suzhou, I think she left in a hurry and didn't even bring her wallet..."
After finding an excuse at random, Yuan Zhongqing's anger just now dissipated quite a bit.
Tan Yong didn't interrupt, and let him talk. After he finished speaking, he felt that the boss should be ready, so he smiled and said, "Mr. Yuan and Ms. Li come in with me, Ms. Yuan is inside."
Yuan Zhongqing let out a sigh of relief, always feeling a little awkward, I'm here to find fault, okay?
But now, this trend has been interrupted, so I am embarrassed to say anything more at this time.
Looking at his wife next to her, Mother Yuan also felt a little embarrassed at this time, but she was still a businessman, Mother Yuan smiled and said: "Then let's go in and give the wallet to Axue and leave. This girl is in a panic, and she will come back later. There is no money for a taxi at home.”
The couple were talking and followed Tan Yong to the private room.
Several security guards followed subconsciously, and as a result, several men with temperament similar to Tan Yong walked out of the corridor.
Tan Yong, who was walking in front, said with a little apology: "Mr. Yuan, Ms. Li, the private room is a bit small, why don't these brothers stay here?
I saw that everyone came in a hurry and probably didn't have a meal, so I invited a few brothers to have a meal. "
Yuan Zhongqing frowned slightly, no matter how stupid he was at this moment, he knew something was wrong.
It was definitely not normal to see only two people on the other side before, but now there are so many people popping up all of a sudden.
But after all, it was in public and this restaurant was on the side of a bustling street, so Yuan Zhongqing didn't have any fear.
Looking back at a few security guards who were a bit cramped, Yuan Zhongqing said: "Old Zhang, you go to eat first, and we will go together later."
Let a few security guards stay outside, if there is any trouble, the police can still be done.
A lot of thoughts flashed through Yuan Zhongqing's mind just now. Could the other party want to kidnap him?
But this idea was quickly put aside by him. There are many rich people in Suzhou, so he is the oldest.
With all the belongings added up, can there be five million?
And most of them are fixed assets, and the money earned in the past few years has also been used to buy a house, and people are stupid to kidnap themselves in restaurants.
Without thinking about it, Yuan Zhongqing looked at Tan Yong and said, "Are you from Jiangbei?"
Tan Yong nodded, but didn't say any more, and knocked on the private room door again.
When Li Dong's voice came from inside, Tan Yong pushed the door open, but he didn't go in, turned his head to look at Yuan Zhongqing and his wife and said with a smile: "You two, please come in."
Yuan Zhongqing entered the door together with his wife with some awkwardness.
He always felt that something was wrong, but everything happened too fast, and he didn't give him much time to think.
...
In the private room, as soon as Yuan Zhongqing and his wife entered, Tan Yong closed the door behind him.
Yuan Xue also called out at this time: "Dad, Mom."
Yuan Zhongqing first glanced at his daughter, seeing that her daughter was as calm as usual, he was relieved a lot, then he looked at the only stranger in the private room.
Before he could make a sound, Li Dong said with a smile on his face, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie."
This voice was somewhat familiar to Yuan Zhongqing.
He had only met Tan Yong once, so he was not familiar with him, but he and Li Dong had chatted for a long time, so they still had a little impression.
As soon as Li Dong opened his mouth, Yuan Zhongqing looked at him, and when he saw the other person's appearance clearly, he suddenly became a little dazed.
He was in a daze, but the wife next to him was not in a daze, but asked a little uncertainly, "Li... Li Dong?"
"Li Dong!"
This name flashed into Yuan Zhongqing's mind instantly.
He knows Li Dong!
Not only in newspapers, but also on TV, he also met and chatted with Li Dong.
Back then, when Li Dong came to his house for the first time, Yuanfang was not very famous at that time. Of course, he was also well-known in Jiangbei.
It was also Li Dong who helped him solve the Yuan family's biggest trouble.
Yuan Zhongqing at that time, even after knowing Li Dong's identity, did not think too much. In his opinion, Li Dong should be his daughter's suitor.
But as Li Dong became more and more famous, his daughter didn't seem to mention this person anymore. Yuan Zhongqing sometimes thought about it. The young man who came to his home back then, who is now the richest man in the world, almost became his son-in-law people.
Friends and partners around me often have expressions of admiration and envy when Li Dong is mentioned.
Yuan Zhongqing felt a little less like this, but he couldn't help but sigh, and he didn't expect that young man back then to be so powerful.
The world's richest man, every time he thinks of this word, he feels that meeting Li Dong back then was like a dream.
Later, he also found out that Li Dong and his daughter were indeed classmates, or classmates, which was even more embarrassing.
Many times, when Yuan Zhongqing sighed, he was also a little proud.
Li Dong is from Dongping, a classmate of his daughter, and he had dinner with Li Dong...
For this matter, when he and his friends got together, he even bragged about it many times.
Of course, others believe it or not.
But the person who usually talked about bragging with his friends suddenly appeared, and Yuan Zhongqing didn't know what he should do for a while.
Plus, he always felt like he was forgetting something.
Forgot what?
right!
Yuan Zhongqing remembered that when he got in the car, this guy put his daughter's shoulders on his shoulders!
When he got out of the car, he also seemed to see the other party holding his daughter's hand!
Li Dong and his daughter... But isn't Li Dong married? I heard that my father-in-law is still a big shot!
This time, Yuan Zhongqing woke up from his trance.
After waking up, Yuan Zhongqing's complexion changed involuntarily. He glanced at his daughter standing next to Li Dong, and said with a slightly ugly expression, "Axue, you..."
Yuan Xue didn't say a word, Li Dong took the words and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, let's sit down and eat something together.
We haven't seen each other for several years. I remember that Uncle Yuan was very good at drinking.
When I came to Suzhou this time, I thought about visiting my uncles and aunts after a while, but I didn’t expect to meet them here now.
I'll drink with Uncle Yuan later..."
While Li Dong was speaking, he helped to open two chairs.
The world's richest man entertained him graciously, and Yuan Zhongqing's expression changed again and again.
Yuan's mother on the side also noticed something at this time, couldn't help but glanced at her daughter, then at Li Dong, and finally sat down without saying a word.
Yuan Zhongqing didn't speak any more, and sat down next to his wife.
The two remained silent, Yuan Xue remained silent, and Li Dong was slightly embarrassed.
Just when Li Dong didn't know what to say, Yuan Xue said, "Dad, Mom, why are you here?"
Yuan Zhongqing's cheeks twitched, but he didn't answer his daughter's words.
Mother Yuan coughed lightly, and said after a while, "You...you lost your wallet..."
Yuan Zhongqing interrupted at this time: "Your mother and I were afraid that you would be deceived, so we came here to take a look. I didn't expect to meet Li... Boss Li here..."
"Uncle Yuan, don't call me that, just call me by my name." Li Dong answered quickly, then picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Yuan Zhongqing with a smile: "I didn't know uncle and aunt came over just now, so I ordered a bottle of red wine , I have a white one in the car, I'll ask someone to get it..."
"No."
Yuan Zhongqing took a deep breath, glanced at Li Dong, thought it over before saying: "Li...then I'll call you Li Dong."
"You and Axue..."
"Dad, I like Li Dong." Yuan Xue took the words and said calmly, "I know what you want to ask, but I'm not going to keep it a secret.
It's true that Li Dong is married, but I don't care so much..."
"Uncle, aunt..." Li Dong interrupted Yuan Xue, and apologized: "I know that I have caused you a lot of trouble, and I'm sorry for A Xue.
I can't say anything else.
But I promise, I will be good to Axue for the rest of my life.
It is right for you two elders to beat and scold, everything is caused by me..."
"enough!"
Yuan Zhongqing's cheeks twitched again, and he breathed heavily and said, "Li Dong, I know you have money, you can kill me with money!
But there is only one daughter in our family. Although she is not considered very rich, we have never lacked anything about Axue since she was a child.
When something happened to our family, it was you who helped me. I will always remember this kindness.
I'm just a small businessman, and I can't help you.
If you like my daughter, to tell the truth, I'm too late to be happy.
But...but you let my daughter be your mistress..."
Yuan Zhongqing's face was ugly, Yuan's mother also kept a straight face and said nothing, Yuan Xue frowned slightly, Li Dong was apologetic, said nothing else, bowed his head and said: "I am sorry for your elder brother, I am sorry for Axue."
"call……"
Yuan Zhongqing let out a breath, stared at him and said, "Our family can't climb up to you."
Then he ignored Li Dong, but looked at Yuan Xue and said, "A Xue, come home with me."
Yuan Xue remained silent, Yuan Zhongqing's voice became sharper, and he shouted, "Follow me home!"
Yuan Xue said softly: "Dad, I know what I'm doing, I'm not a child anymore."
"You know what you're doing?"
Yuan Zhongqing stood up in an instant, glared at his daughter and said, "You know what!
Is Lao Tzu missing what you spend or what you use?
He's married, don't you know?
It's embarrassing to be someone else's mistress..."
"Old Yuan!"
Yuan's mother pushed him, and her face was a little ugly. It was a bit too ugly for her husband to say this in front of her daughter.
Yuan Zhongqing said angrily: "What are you doing! I can't say it yet?
Ma De, it's amazing to be rich!
I have no money to raise her like this! "
Yuan Zhongqing yelled at his wife, then looked at Yuan Xue and said, "Are you going back?"
"Uncle Yuan..."
"you shut up!"
Yuan Zhongqing glared at Li Dong who interrupted, and cursed: "You are rich, and you can't find any woman, but my daughter!
Fortunately, we are still fellow villagers. If this spreads to Dongping, where will I put my face? Do you have the face?
Your wife's family has a background, our family can't compare, and I dare not compare.
You want to harm whoever you want, just don't harm my daughter! "
"Uncle Yuan, I know you are angry now, but the relationship between me and A Xue really has nothing to do with money.
Axue is your daughter, don't you understand?
Is she the kind of person who just...doesn't care about anything for money? "
Li Dongzheng was talking, Yuan Xue shook her head at him, it was useless to say these things now, she knew her father well.
Seeing her father's face flushed, Yuan Xue remained calm and said slowly: "Dad, it's useless for you to be angry, the matter has reached this point.
And I have been pregnant for several months, and this time I went to Xiangjiang to give birth.
I can go back with you, but I am an adult, you can control me now, and lock me up for the rest of my life?
Li Dong didn't limit me. If I wanted to, I could find someone to marry tomorrow.
If I don't want to go back with you now, the result will be the same. "
Yuan Zhongqing was stunned, and Yuan's mother was also stunned.
Li Dong couldn't help but take a look at Yuan Xue, true or false, is this trick useful to fool your parents?
Yuan Xue didn't look at him, she got up and said, "Now you are angry, I will go home with you."
Yuan Zhongqing hummed, but he didn't know what to say, what to ask.
With Li Dong here, the more he looked at it, the more irritable he became, and he turned around and left the private room.
As soon as he left, Mother Yuan looked at her daughter and left with her husband without saying anything.
Yuan Xue followed closely, seeing that Li Dong was about to follow, she turned her head and said, "Now you are angry, don't follow, everyone who is making trouble knows it and it's embarrassing."
"Then..." Li Donggang wanted to continue asking about what happened just now, but Yuan Xue didn't give him a chance and stepped out of the private room.
After they were all gone, Tan Yong entered the door cautiously.
As soon as he entered, Li Dong said angrily: "The old couple followed, and you didn't notice at all?"
Tan Yong shrank his neck, knowing that he would be angered.
There is no way to justify this matter, and it is not a spy. It is right to protect Li Dong, but there are so many cars behind, and there is only one road, who would care about every car.
Tan Yong said in a low voice, "President Li, what should we do now?"
"what to do?"
Li Dong let out a sigh of relief and said helplessly: "What else can I do, go back to the hotel first.
I knew it was the result, wait a minute, Lao Yuan could really tear me apart now.
When his anger subsides a little, he adapts to his own circumstances, and sooner or later he will have to go through this experience. "
Tan Yong couldn't do anything about this kind of thing. Seeing that Li Dong didn't even wear a hat, he hurriedly reminded him, and then followed Li Dong out of the restaurant.
As for Li Dong, when he left the restaurant, he couldn't help saying with emotion: 'Money really isn't everything. '
Feelings are emotions, I have to say that although it is not a panacea, at least it is useful, at least the name is here, otherwise, if you change someone, with the posture of Lao Yuan, you can really call the security guards to come up and beat him up.
Li Dong thought wildly for a while, and finally couldn't help but think of Yuan Xue's words, is the pregnancy real or fake?
