When Zhang Chengyang and He Yongze returned to the first floor, they witnessed a surprising scene.
Li Qiuyu was standing in the lobby on the first floor, with a man and a woman in front of her, and two men, an older man and a younger man, opposite them. The two sides were arguing and seemed ready to start a fight at any moment.
Half an hour ago, Li Qiubo and his son went to Wangshanhe Sales Department, where Li Qiuyu works. After contacting Wangshanhe Sales Department at the property management front desk, they were informed that Li Qiuyu was on leave today and was not at work.
Instead, the father and son went to Li Qiuyu's rented apartment and knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response. Finally, Li Qiuyu's roommate told them that she was not at home, and that she hadn't been there the previous night either.
"Dad, I knew my sister must have money. She must have gone out to play last night," Li Qiubo said with a displeased look, as if Li Qiuyu had taken his money to spend.
Mr. Li said angrily, "This little brat is really disregarding me more and more. Let's go find her. I refuse to believe we can't find her."
Then the father and son drove around the area, but instead of finding Li Qiuyu, they saw Uncle Li and Aunt Li driving a villager's car into the city.
After discussing it, the father and son guessed that the two men were probably looking for Li Qiuyu, so they secretly followed them.
As soon as Uncle Li and Aunt Li entered the mAx bar, they met Li Qiuyu, who had come down to pick them up.
"Uncle, Aunt." As soon as Li Qiuyu saw the two of them, she threw herself into her second aunt's arms and began to cry softly.
Aunt Li hugged Li Qiuyu and cried with heartache, comforting her between sobs: "Good child, don't cry. Auntie is here. No one can hurt you anymore. Auntie will protect you."
Uncle Li asked with concern, "Qiuyu, are you alright?"
Li Qiuyu lifted her head from her aunt's arms, shook her head at her uncle, and said, "Uncle, I'm fine."
"You silly girl, I was so worried about your second trial." Uncle Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Li Qiuyu was alright.
Before the three could exchange more than a few words, Li Qiubo and his son barged in.
Upon seeing Li Qiuyu, Li Qiubo said with a pained expression, "Well, sis, you've been spending the night in a bar and you still say you have no money? You've used the money I saved to buy a house to play around. You're a liar."
"Li Qiubo, that's enough!" Li Qiuyu couldn't help but explode on the spot: "I come to the bar with my own money, what does it have to do with you? Have you ever worked a single day in your life? You keep talking about taking the postgraduate entrance exam, have you passed it in four years? You don't earn a single penny and you take your girlfriend traveling everywhere, whose money are you spending? How dare you come here and criticize me?"
Li Qiubo felt a little embarrassed by Li Qiuyu's words, but he couldn't show it in front of his second uncle and aunt, so he could only look at his father and say, "Dad, look at my sister, she spends money recklessly and then complains that I'm talking to her."
At this moment, Li's father looked at Li Qiuyu with a gloomy expression and said in an icy tone, "Qiuyu, come home with me."
Seeing her father's expression, Li Qiuyu seemed to realize something and said in a terrified voice, "No, I can't go back with you."
At this moment, Uncle Li stepped forward and said, "Boss, are you ever going to stop? Don't you really care about your daughter at all? Qiu Yu has been working hard all these years, and you don't even let her come home to see you on holidays. What do you take Qiu Yu for? A tool to make money?"
Li's father pointed at Li's second uncle and cursed, "You shut the hell up to me! You didn't listen to my advice back then and married a good-looking but useless woman. She hasn't been able to give birth to a boy in twenty years. You'll be too ashamed to face your ancestors when you die."
"Li Hexiang, who are you talking about?" Upon hearing this, Aunt Li immediately stepped forward, pointed at Li's father's nose, and scolded, "Your family is good! You gave birth to a son who doesn't earn a penny every day, just lies at home like a dead man, eating and sponging off his parents. If all sons were like this, I really wouldn't want to have one; it would be superfluous. Everyone in the whole Li family village is laughing at your Qiubo, but you treat him like a treasure, holding him in your hands for fear of losing him, and keeping him in your mouth for fear of him melting. This kind of thing wouldn't even be wanted if you threw him on the street."
Aunt Li was a woman from Sichuan, and she was known in Li Village for her fiery temper. She was never one to back down when she started arguing, and Li's father was left speechless and at a loss for words when she confronted him.
So he could only vent his anger on Uncle Li: "Second brother, take your crazy wife away right now, or I'll beat her up too if you piss me off."
Uncle Li pulled Li Qiuyu behind him and stood side by side with Aunt Li to protect her: "Try touching my wife and Qiuyu with a single finger today, and see if I dare to fight you to the death."
Uncle Li was a troublemaker in Li Family Village since childhood, notoriously unruly. It was only after marrying Aunt Li, a woman from Sichuan, that his temper mellowed considerably. But this couldn't hide his fierce nature.
Seeing his enraged Uncle Li, Li's father couldn't retaliate for a moment. So he could only turn his anger towards Li Qiuyu: "Qiuyu, so now you've learned to team up with outsiders to deal with your old man, haven't you?"
Uncle Li immediately retorted, "Boss, stop talking nonsense. Qiu Yu has eaten more food at my house than she has drunk water at yours."
Li's father ignored Li's second uncle. He knew that he was no match for his younger brother, whether in a fight or a verbal argument. So he continued to look at the terrified Li Qiuyu and said, "You little beast, it seems you're deliberately trying to mess with me today. I won't waste my breath on you. You'd better give me one million today, and I won't bother you anymore. I'll pretend I never had a daughter like you."
Li Qiuyu cried out with tears streaming down her face, "Dad, I really have no money left. Why do you always think I have money? I only have that little salary a month. I don't even dare to buy food and drinks outside. I only have three sets of clothes to change into all four seasons. I don't even dare to buy two sets of work clothes. Can you please understand me?"
Mr. Li's face hardened, and he said, "Don't call me Dad. I don't have a daughter like you. Your mother, your brother, and I are eating meager meals at home, while you're out enjoying yourself at a bar. I don't care if you have money or not. You can borrow, steal, or rob to give me 500,000 yuan today. Or you can give me a million yuan, and I'll sever all ties with you and never ask you for a single penny again."
Seeing this, Zhang Chengyang wanted to go over and comfort Li Qiuyu, but seeing her current state of collapse, and remembering how she kept calling Shen Lang's name while drunk last night, he didn't want to interfere.
After all, Shen Lang had told him that he liked Li Qiuyu very much. From any perspective, he should wait for Shen Lang to arrive and resolve the issue.
At this point, He Yongze, a man from Northeast China who had been watching from the sidelines, could no longer stand it. He Yongze walked directly up to Li's father and said, "I am the owner here. You are not welcome here. Please leave now."
He Yongze is over 1.9 meters tall and has a burly build, with muscles all over his body, giving Li's father a strong sense of pressure.
