Faced with Ma Weidong's words, Ma Yulian's eyes flickered, as if she was making a decision in her heart: whether to put righteousness above family ties or something else!
After thinking it over, Ma Yulian decided to stick to her story, since she had already said it and it wouldn't be good to change it.
"I'm just stating the facts. Li Junsheng has never borrowed money from you. It's just that you lend him a little today and a little more tomorrow, and you never pay him back!"
Ma Weidong felt like crying.
Seeing this, the police took Li Junsheng, Ma Weidong and his group to the station to make statements.
As the victim, Li Junsheng is definitely not in any major trouble; he can go home after giving his statement.
Outside the police station, Tang Liang and Li Xiaoyu waited for him to come out so they could take him back to the hotel.
"Dad, are you alright? Shall we go home?"
"It's alright, the restaurant can operate normally as long as it's in business. It's all thanks to the pilot business license you obtained in advance."
Li Junsheng felt relieved after dealing with Ma Weidong. That man was incredibly arrogant, daring to have someone pretend to be a public official!
Standing next to Li Junsheng, Tang Liang couldn't help but ask with admiration, "Dad, how did you know those people were imposters? You must have a keen eye!"
Li Junsheng scoffed, "They're just monkeys in human clothes! They wear the uniforms of public officials, but they're just thugs at heart!"
Tang Liang nodded repeatedly, still believing that the people Ma Weidong brought were indeed public officials.
On the way back to the store, Ma Yulian was waiting for Li Junsheng. When she saw him coming, she ran up to greet him.
"You're back? Are you alright? Dongzi's confused, don't take it to heart."
Li Junsheng glanced at her coldly, finding the concern on her face utterly hypocritical.
Li Junsheng ignored her and walked straight ahead.
Seeing that she was being ignored, Ma Yulian ran up to Li Junsheng and blocked his way.
"Old Li, I have something I want to tell you!"
Li Junsheng was a little impatient, but he still let Li Xiaoyu and Tang Liang go first, and he would follow later.
Li Xiaoyu didn't want Li Junsheng to talk to Ma Yulian, fearing that she would deceive her honest father.
Li Xiaoyu knew without guessing that Ma Yulian regretted it now and wanted to abandon Chen Dazhu and come back!
With her back, will there ever be peace at the family restaurant again?
"dad……"
"Don't worry, Xiaoyu, you guys go first."
Li Junsheng gave her a reassuring look. Li Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, but still chose to trust her father before leaving with Tang Liang.
After dismissing his daughter and son-in-law, Li Junsheng coldly said, "Speak quickly if you have something to say, I don't have time to listen to your long-winded talk."
"It's just... I know I was wrong. I divorced you, and now I don't even have a basic income. Chen Dazhu has become disabled, and his temper has become strange. He curses at me all the time and throws things."
"They won't even let me leave the hospital. I don't even have money for food myself, and I have to give him money to eat. For the sake of our past relationship, can you please let me work in the shop?"
"I promise I can do anything. As long as you're willing, I'll break up with Chen Dazhu right away and take the eldest daughter back to my parents' house. What do you think..."
Ma Yulian looked at Li Junsheng with sorrow, her words filled with regret, and tears streaming down her face.
Li Junsheng watched her performance quietly, completely unmoved by her act!
She says she knows she was wrong, but really she just knows who will make her happier.
Now that there's someone better than her, she's still the same old person!
Therefore, Li Junsheng coldly rejected Ma Yulian's remorse and pleas.
"The shop doesn't need your help. You should just continue to watch over Chen Dazhu. Isn't that what you wanted?"
"I...I was also deceived by Chen Dazhu. He kept telling me that if I didn't marry him first, he would marry me."
Ma Yulian didn't hesitate to smear Chen Dazhu. Anyway, he couldn't even get out of bed now, so Ma Yulian wasn't afraid of him proving that she was lying!
Thinking this, Ma Yulian continued to plead, "Old Li, I really know I was wrong, can't you give me another chance?"
She gripped Li Junsheng's arm, as if she wouldn't let him leave unless he let go.
This is utter nonsense!
"No way. Stop arguing with me. You should use this time to figure out how to bail your brother out! After all, extortion and having someone impersonate a public official are serious crimes."
After saying that, Li Junsheng forcefully pried open Ma Yulian's fingers and walked away back to the hotel.
Seeing that Li Junsheng was determined, Ma Yulian stopped her fake tears and stared at Li Junsheng's departing figure with resentment!
"You, Li Junsheng, I've gone to such lengths, and you're still unmoved."
Ma Yulian gritted her teeth in hatred. She never expected that even her act of sacrificing her own family for the greater good and her desperate pledge of loyalty would not give Li Junsheng a single chance!
Ma Yulian was puzzled.
I've been with Li Junsheng for so many years, and he wasn't such a difficult person to talk to before!
Why are you so cold now? Have you really broken my heart?
After hastily wiping her face, Ma Yulian secretly vowed to make Li Junsheng regret his decision today!
If he's not allowed to work at the restaurant, then he can forget about doing well at the restaurant and living a good life.
Thinking this, Ma Yulian stormed off!
When Li Junsheng returned to the hotel, it was already evening.
The shop was packed with customers, and his children were too busy to talk to him!
Among the guests, Li Junsheng spotted a familiar face.
"Director Zheng? What brings you to my restaurant? You're a rare guest!"
Li Junsheng walked over to greet Zheng Rong, who was waiting for him!
He had been there for quite a while, and when he asked the people in the shop, they said that Li Junsheng wasn't there, so he found a corner to sit and wait for Li Junsheng.
"Brother Li, I've finally waited for you. I came here today specifically to see you."
When Zheng Rong saw Li Junsheng, he stood up excitedly and grabbed Li Junsheng's hand, looking very excited!
"Director Zheng, please have a seat. What's the matter that's so urgent?"
Li Junsheng and Zheng Rong sat down. Zheng Rong didn't rush to say what he had come for, but instead praised Li Junsheng, saying, "Brother, you're really amazing. You actually opened a restaurant here."
"And business is actually pretty good. They really are good at whatever they do!"
When Zheng Rong first stepped into the restaurant, he was somewhat skeptical. Was this really a restaurant run by an old worker from a machine factory?
The range is too large.
Brother Li really has a keen eye. Not only did he give the machinery factory some pointers before, but now he's opened a very elegant restaurant.
It's better than a regular restaurant, and it has a different feel compared to state-run hotels.
The environment is warm and inviting, making you feel right at home.
"Director Zheng, you flatter me. Now that you're here, please allow me to show you the hospitality of a local and invite you to try our restaurant's specialties!"
