"Who is bullying my brother-in-law, Zhou Dafu? Do you think my Zhou family doesn't exist?" A middle-aged man with a potbelly appeared before everyone with an angry roar. In this day and age, a man with such a physique could only be achieved by a wealthy family; his family must be quite well-off.
Mother Chen, who had been crying non-stop just now, seemed to have found her backbone. She immediately stopped crying and began to express her grievances: "Oh, Dafu, you're finally here! It's these damn people who bullied us. Not only that, they also sent your brother-in-law to prison. You must stand up for us, teach them a lesson, and rescue your brother-in-law."
On the other side, when Zhou Li saw Liu Yan, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "Haha, Liu Yanran, have you thought it through and finally decided to be my wife? I told you a long time ago that no one can refuse our Zhou family." As he spoke, he walked towards Liu Yanran, greed and desire flashing in his eyes.
Zhou Li reached out, trying to grab Liu Yanran, but she dodged his touch easily, like a nimble butterfly. Zhou Li was stunned for a moment, then, infuriated, he lunged at Liu Yanran again, wanting to hold her tightly.
At this moment, Liu Yanran showed her excellent skills and reaction ability. She dodged to the side lightly. Zhou Li missed her and lost his balance. He fell heavily to the ground. His mouth made direct contact with the ground and was covered with mud.
At the same time, Zhou Dafu also noticed Liu Yanran's presence. His eyes were instantly drawn to her, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He immediately remembered this beautiful woman because he had attended the Canton Fair and witnessed Liu Yanran's elegance with his own eyes. At that time, he was attracted by her beauty and temperament, and secretly admired her.
Zhou Dafu knew that Liu Yanran had a remarkable background. Not only was she exceptionally talented, but she was also a key candidate for training at Peking University, and her future was limitless. He had to befriend a woman like her, so that their factory could move to a higher level. Thinking of this, Zhou Dafu couldn't help but feel excited.
"Translator Liu, I didn't expect to see you here. It's such an honor!" Zhou Dafu's face was filled with a warm smile, and his eyes revealed his admiration and appreciation for Liu Yanran.
Liu Yanran smiled slightly and responded politely, "Hello, Mr. Zhou." Her voice was soft and elegant, which made people fall in love with her.
Zhou Dafu continued, "Translator Liu, what brings you to Shanghai this time? If you need any help or support, please feel free to let me know and I will do my best." His tone was sincere, showing his respect and concern for Liu Yanran.
However, Liu Yanran sneered and said, "No need, Mr. Zhou. I'm just passing by here and taking a look. Besides, I dare not marry into your Zhou family." Her words revealed a kind of indifference and disdain, which made Zhou Dafu feel confused.
Zhou Dafu was a little confused when he heard this, but he soon understood the reason. He turned to look at Zhou Li, a hint of anger flashing in his eyes.
"Li'er, come here!" Zhou Dafu shouted angrily. His face darkened, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were filled with majesty.
Zhou Li walked tremblingly to Zhou Dafu, lowering his head, not daring to look his father in the eye. He knew he had done something wrong and was afraid of being punished.
Zhou Dafu sternly questioned Zhou Li: "Did you make Liu the translator angry again? Didn't I tell you to treat people well?" There was a hint of blame and disappointment in his voice.
Zhou Li quickly explained: "Dad, I didn't make her angry. I just fell in love with her and wanted to marry her." His expression seemed very regretful, and he hoped to get his father's forgiveness.
Zhou Dafu raised his hand and patted Zhou Li on the back of his head, then turned to Liu Yanran: "Translator Liu, I'm sorry, my son is immature, I hope you don't mind. If he does anything offensive, I will definitely teach him a lesson." His tone was full of apology, trying to resolve the awkward situation.
Liu Yanran sneered and said, "Mr. Zhou should teach his son a lesson. Don't let the wealth accumulated by generations be destroyed because of an unfilial son."
Zhou Dafu naturally didn't dare to refute him, and turned his attention to Zhou Li. "How dare you disrespect Translator Liu, you bastard! Do you know who she is? She's a figure that even our Zhou family can't reach!" Zhou Dafu scolded.
Zhou Li's face was as pale as paper, he lowered his head, his lips trembled slightly, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
"Also, you actually want to marry her home? Who do you think you are? Do you think she would look down upon our Zhou family?" Zhou Dafu's tone became increasingly harsh, with undisguised anger and contempt, as if Zhou Li had committed an unforgivable crime.
Zhou Li's body trembled uncontrollably, his hands clenched into fists, trying to suppress the fear and regret in his heart. He stammered, "Dad, I... I know I was wrong..."
"Hmph, if I find you disrespecting translator Liu again, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!" Zhou Dafu's eyes were like knives, staring coldly at Zhou Li, and his warning words hit Zhou Li's heart like a heavy hammer.
Zhou Li nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of fear and obedience. He knew his father's temper very well, and he also understood that he had really gotten into big trouble this time.
Finally, Zhou Dafu turned to Liu Yanran, an apologetic smile on his face, and said softly: "Translator Liu, I'm really sorry. My son is ignorant and offended you. Please forgive me." As he said that, he glared at Zhou Li fiercely, signaling him to apologize quickly.
Zhou Li hurriedly walked up to Liu Yanran and bowed his head to admit his mistake: "Translator Liu, I'm sorry. I promise I will never be disrespectful to you again."
