"Eating and drinking the best food?"
Meng Wan's smile bewitched Li Qingshan. His female companion shook his arm, trying to get his attention back, but he pushed her away without hesitation. The companion glared at Meng Wan fiercely, but was helpless and could only watch the scene unfold.
"Of course! I'm good-looking and rich. You'd be better off with me than with an old man. It's just that marrying you is out of the question, but being my mistress isn't out of the question."
Li Qingshan's voice wasn't quiet, and since the restaurant was empty, his words seemed to amplify in every corner of the restaurant.
Meng Wan chuckled, "Rich and good-looking?"
She openly scrutinized Li Qingshan, but he seemed oblivious to her unspoken meaning, flicking the few sparse, greasy strands of hair on his head with a proud expression.
"Waiter!" Li Qingshan suddenly called out.
No one moved, and just as his expression was about to change, Meng Wan clapped her hands.
"gentlemen."
"Bring me a bottle of the best wine, the most expensive and finest kind."
Ignoring Li Qingshan's clamor, the waiter looked at Meng Wan, who nodded slightly. The gesture was subtle, and only the waiter received Meng Wan's signal.
Having received a reply, the waiter didn't dare to be negligent. He worked quickly, and soon brought over a bottle of 1945 Romanée-Conti, worth 3.43 million yuan. Meng Wan expressed her satisfaction with the waiter's discerning eye.
The waiter opened the bottle, decanted the wine, and finally poured it into a stemmed glass. However, Li Qingshan drank the wine directly from the glass and slammed the bottle down in front of Meng Wan.
"Drink this bottle, and I'll be magnanimous and not hold your past transgressions against you. If you say a few nice things, I might give you some money to help you out."
Li Qingshan sat in Tang Qi's seat, his legs propped up on the table. Meng Wan frowned; a whole table of food was being wasted.
"How about it? Is 100,000 yuan enough? If not... 200,000?"
Li Qingshan was completely unaware of the impending danger. He rummaged around for a while before finally throwing his wallet on the table, displaying an arrogant and overbearing attitude.
"Li Qingshan." Meng Wan crossed her arms. "You know I'm not an adult yet, right?"
"So what? It's better this way, your brother is teaching you what it's like to be an adult ahead of time."
The words were too blunt, and the face was repulsive; even Meng Wan felt nauseous.
However, before she could speak, a figure appeared from behind Li Qingshan.
Without any hesitation, he grabbed Li Qingshan's already sparse hair and pulled it back.
Li Qingshan's short legs couldn't support him as he dangled off the table. His hands instinctively tried to pull away the hand that was grabbing his hair, but Tang Qi didn't give him a chance to resist. He grabbed Li Qingshan's head and slammed it onto the table.
With a 'bang', accompanied by the female companion's scream and the crisp sound of a plate falling to the ground, the wine bottle also rolled down, staining the white tablecloth red.
"Ah!" Li Qingshan roared, his fat face contorted in pain, his features scrunched up, blood and wine stains on his face making him look even more nauseating.
"Who is it! Who dares to hit me! I'll kill you, you're finished! I'll call my dad to put you in jail!"
Tang Qi looked disgusted, but didn't let go of his hand. "Then you'd better watch out, or you won't even be able to find your way home when you're seeking revenge."
In stark contrast to his mad behavior, his tone was incredibly calm, with even a smile playing on his lips, and a hint of madness in his eyes.
"Tang...Tang Qi, it's you?"
"Who do you think you are? How dare you let her drink! Huh?" Tang Qi raised an eyebrow, pressed his hand against the back of the man's head, and slammed it against the table again.
The female companion screamed, and Tang Qi gave her a single glance. The woman immediately collapsed to the ground, covering her mouth and not daring to make a sound.
"Brother? Do you deserve to be called that? Do you think I'm dead?" Each sentence was softer than the last, the last one almost whispered in Li Qingshan's ear, yet it sent a chill down Li Qingshan's spine.
"Accompany you? I wouldn't mind sending you on a day trip to hell."
Again and again, as if he were pulling at a lifeless doll.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, Tang Qi. I didn't know she came with you. I didn't do anything to her. Please forgive me, please forgive me."
I thought that Meng Wan must have found a rich man to come here to eat after being abandoned by the patriarchal Tang family. Who knew that she was accompanied by Tang Qi!
They are known in the industry as the most discordant siblings. They would never even appear in public together for necessary occasions. Who would have thought that Meng Wan would be having dinner with Tang Qi? If he had known, he wouldn't have dared to enter this restaurant even if he had eight hundred lives!
He kept begging for mercy, and if Tang Qi let go of him, Li Qingshan would even kneel down and kowtow to Tang Qi several times.
"Wanwan! Are you alright?" Just as the stalemate was at hand, Meng Zhiyuan appeared with his manager.
"Miss Meng!" The manager turned pale upon seeing this scene and almost fainted.
"You should pack your things. Remember to put this bottle of wine on Mr. Li's tab; he ordered it." Meng Wan remained calm and composed throughout, not moving an inch. Even when she saw Tang Qi hitting someone, she watched calmly without showing the slightest fear.
"Yes, yes!" The manager wiped the sweat from his brow and immediately told Meng Zhiyuan, who was standing beside him, to go and call for help. Meng Zhiyuan saw that Meng Wan was unharmed before leaving.
"Alright, call the police." The words were naturally directed at Tang Qi.
Tang Qi flung his hand away, and Li Qingshan collapsed to the ground like a lump of dead flesh. His female companion rushed forward, calling his name, looking flustered and helpless.
By the time the test results came out and the statement was taken, it was already incredibly dark. Li Qingshan had a mild concussion. When his father arrived, he was threatening to take the man to jail, but when he saw Tang Qi, he didn't dare say a word.
Finally, Meng Wan sued Li Qingshan on the grounds of sexual harassment of a minor.
Tang Qi and Meng Wan walked out of the police station, where Meng Zhiyuan was standing under a streetlamp. He was still wearing his restaurant uniform, indicating that he had rushed over.
"How long do you plan to keep playing this game for ordinary people?"
"It's quite interesting, isn't it?" Meng Wan glanced at Meng Zhiyuan, who was not far away.
"I'm leaving." She waved to Tang Qi and walked towards Meng Zhiyuan without looking back.
Tang Qi blended into the night, his deep pupils like a black panther stalking its prey in the darkness, staring intently at the pair of siblings acting intimately under the streetlights until they left before getting into his car.
"Big brother, have you been waiting long?"
Seeing Meng Wan in front of him, Meng Zhiyuan felt a mix of emotions. If it were Tang Zhiyi, she would be crying and screaming in fear by now, but Meng Wan seemed completely unaffected.
Meng Zhiyuan couldn't help but think of the look in Meng Wan's eyes when she saw Tang Qi hitting Li Qingshan.
Calm, as calm as a stagnant pool.
Meng Zhiyuan had reason to believe that even if Tang Qi killed Li Qingshan in front of him, Meng Wan's resolve would not waver.
