"Uncle Li, I don't want to go home. Could you drop me off in the car so I can have some fun in Beijing?"
"Young Master, I'm sorry, there's nothing I can do."
"Uncle Li, can't I, as the younger brother, even meet my future brother-in-law?" Su Xiaochen began to play the emotional card.
"Young Master, please don't make things difficult for Uncle Li. Miss's intention is to send you back to Jianye."
“You must listen to the young lady, and you must listen to the young master even more! Uncle Li, please let me out of the car. If my sister asks about it later, just say that I knocked you unconscious and that I ran away. I will never implicate you.”
Seeing that the bodyguard was still unmoved, Su Xiaochen took out a stack of Chinese yuan from her bag and said, "Uncle Li, please, put me down."
The bodyguard was tempted, but still wouldn't budge. Su Xiaochen, having lost patience with the bodyguard, opened the car door and jumped out. The bodyguard's expression changed drastically upon seeing this. He pulled over and chased after Su Xiaochen to check if he was injured.
"Uncle Li, don't you understand my determination?" Su Xiaochen said helplessly as the bodyguard caught up with her again.
"Young Master, are you hurt anywhere?"
"Jumping into the green belt won't cause any harm, Uncle Li. Even if you take me back now, I'll still jump out of the car."
"Young Master, let's go to the hospital for a check-up first. After the check-up, you can stay in the capital. I won't tell your sister."
"Uncle Li, that's right. Let's go to the hospital."
After the master and servant had a check-up at the hospital and confirmed that there was nothing seriously wrong, the bodyguard took advantage of Su Xiaochen going to the restroom to call Su Yue.
"Miss, the young master insisted on not going home and just jumped out of the car on the way."
"You jumped out of the car? Is Xiaochen injured?" Su Yue asked anxiously.
"I've had a thorough check-up at the hospital, and it's just a minor superficial injury. I'm sorry, miss."
“Uncle Li, you don’t need to blame yourself. Here’s what we’ll do: since this kid doesn’t want to go home, you should stay with him and protect his safety,” Su Yue said helplessly.
"Yes, Miss." After finishing the call, Su Xiaochen came out of the restroom. As promised, the bodyguard let Su Xiaochen leave and followed him in his car after seeing him get into a taxi.
Thinking he was free from his sister's surveillance, Su Xiaochen was overjoyed. After checking into the hotel, he bought a game console and a computer, planning to play for a month before going home, completely ignoring the college entrance examination just over a month away.
"Zhao Weisheng, Zhao Weisheng, what should I do?" Looking at the room full of snacks and the newly bought game console, Su Xiaochen didn't forget his real purpose in coming to Beijing: to meet the man who was about to become his brother-in-law. "I can't go to the Zhao family, otherwise my sister will find out. What should I do?" He racked his brains but still couldn't come up with a good solution. Coincidentally, the two Zhao brothers had invited Xu Chen for drinks, and they chose the hotel downstairs from Su Xiaochen's place.
"Brother Chen, please help me, I really don't want to..."
"Weisheng, look, who's that?" Weimin interrupted Zhao Weisheng's complaint, pointed in a direction, and beckoned his younger brother to look. Zhao Weisheng glanced at him and didn't recognize the boy who had ordered the food.
"Oh, I forgot, you were abroad when he came to our house. He is Su Yue's younger brother, Su Xiaochen."
Upon hearing this, Xu Chen turned his head and glanced at the boy by the service counter.
Zhao Weimin greeted Su Xiaochen, "Xiaochen, come here quickly."
When Su Xiaochen heard someone calling him, he exclaimed, "Brother Weimin? What a coincidence!" He called over the waiter, explained that he would pay for Xu Chen's table, and then sat down with Xu Chen and the others.
"Xiaochen, this is your future brother-in-law, and this is our brother."
Su Xiaochen then sized up Zhao Weisheng. He was weak and frail, a typical scholar. Wearing glasses, he exuded a slightly sleazy air. Su Xiaochen wasn't very satisfied with this brother-in-law. Little did he know, this brother-in-law also didn't want to marry his sister.
"Hello, Brother Sheng." He extended his hand to Zhao Weisheng, and the two shook hands.
"Hello, Xiaochen, did you have a good time in Beijing?" Zhao Weisheng asked with a smile.
"Not bad, Brother Sheng."
"Xiaochen, this is our brother, Xu Chen." Zhao Weimin introduced him again, but Su Xiaochen seemed not to see Xu Chen and continued to chat with Zhao Weimin.
"Brother Sheng, I only have one child..."
"Xiaochen, this is Brother Chen." Seeing that Su Xiaochen ignored Xu Chen, Zhao Weisheng introduced them again. Su Xiaochen smiled at Xu Chen, still eager to have a heart-to-heart talk with her "brother-in-law".
Xu Chen was helpless. Having lived for hundreds of years, he was still good at reading people. Just now, this little brat had looked him up and down, and then looked at him with disdain and contempt. So he simply kept quiet.
"Brother Sheng, you and my sister..."
"Xiaochen, how can you be so rude? I told you, this is Brother Chen, quickly greet Brother Chen!"
Su Xiaochen was interrupted repeatedly, and the young man's anger surged. This Xu Chen was dressed poorly, and besides, he probably couldn't afford the meal, so he only ordered a drink and sat there without saying much. He seemed to be very timid and was probably just a classmate or poor friend of Zhao Weimin or Zhao Weisheng. He really had no interest in chatting with this kind of person.
"Hello, Xu Chen." Suppressing his anger, he greeted Xu Chen, but Xu Chen only nodded slightly, which fueled Su Xiaochen's rage. He could no longer hold back and angrily rebuked Xu Chen, venting his anger on him.
"I said hello, didn't you hear me?!"
The Zhao brothers' expressions changed instantly.
"Xiaochen, what are you trying to do? Apologize to Brother Chen right now!" Zhao Weisheng had heard of Xu Chen from time to time while abroad, and upon returning to China, he heard that Xu Chen had founded the Haitian Gang, which had connections in both the legal and illegal worlds. Afraid of angering Xu Chen, he immediately stopped Su Xiaochen's impulsive act.
Seeing Xu Chen smiling but remaining silent, seemingly ignoring his anger and emotions, Su Xiaochen disregarded the Zhao brothers' attitude and grabbed a stool, smashing it at Xu Chen. Xu Chen blocked the attack, shattering the stool, and Su Xiaochen was also forced back by the impact.
"You dare push me? Fine, I'll beat you to death today." Su Xiaochen tried to pick up the stool and smash it at Xu Chen again.
"Are you crazy, Xiaochen? Stop it right now! Weisheng, pull him away!" Seeing that Su Xiaochen was about to pick up another stool to hit Xu Chen after smashing it, the Zhao brothers broke out in a cold sweat and quickly stopped her.
"Brother Min, Brother Sheng, don't stop me, I'm going to teach him a lesson today."
"Weisheng, quickly pull him out!" In his desperation, Zhao Weimin could only let his younger brother pull Su Xiaochen out of the restaurant first. Xu Chen smiled and poured wine for Zhao Weimin and himself.
"Brother Wei, don't be so nervous. I won't hold a grudge against a little kid."
"I apologize for what happened today, Wei-ge. It's my fault; I'm the one who invited this little lunatic over for drinks."
