Li Guohua nodded to himself, then said to Li Junsheng:
“Okay, then I’ll do as Dad says. I’ll go wash off the dirt and change my clothes before I come back.”
Li Junsheng walked to the side and calmly nodded to Li Guohua, giving him some instructions.
"Don't rush here, go and apply some medicine to the injured area first."
Li Guohua responded and then left the restaurant.
"Dad, what are you secretly discussing with my second brother?"
Li Xiaoyu asked curiously, and Li Junsheng smiled but didn't say much to his two daughters.
"We didn't discuss anything. What about Tang Liang? We told him to make a new set of the meals that were delivered to the film crew today, and deliver them again just before their lunch break ended. They've already paid the deposit."
"I'll go tell him right away; this morning is going to be incredibly busy again."
Li Xiaoyu muttered something to herself, then quickly went into the kitchen to deliver a message to Tang Liang!
During this time, Xingxing and Xiaoming caused all sorts of trouble in the restaurant, and no matter how the waiters tried to coax them, it was no use!
Li Junsheng saw all of this and immediately had Li Chunya call Li Guojun over.
"Dad, you were looking for me."
Li Guojun looked at Li Junsheng with unease, sensing that his summons was not for anything good!
As expected, Li Junsheng said indifferently to Li Guojun, "Pack your things and leave the restaurant. I won't take you in. With your limp, you're not suitable to deliver food here."
"Of course, I'm not that heartless to watch you wander the streets. I'll lend you a few dozen yuan at most. Use that money to settle your daughter and son, and then find another job!"
Li Junsheng still didn't want Li Guojun to stay at the hotel. Xingxing and Xiaoming were causing too much trouble, and Li Guojun didn't care.
When Li Guojun saw that Li Junsheng wanted to drive him away, he immediately started playing the victim to Li Junsheng.
"Dad, you're my own father, how can you kick me out? If you won't take me in, where else can I go? In my current state, no company wants to hire me. Why can't I go home?"
Li Junsheng showed no mercy to Li Guojun's pitiful act of feigning grief.
And he said to Li Guojun in a serious tone, "You were the one who left home with your family, abandoning this family. Who can you blame now? Don't be ungrateful. I'm lending you a few dozen yuan. If you're careful, it should last you at least two months. Two months isn't enough for you to recover from your injury and find another job?"
To put it bluntly, the boss just wants to stay at the restaurant for now and then gradually take over the entire restaurant.
Li Junsheng knew him too well, and sometimes he really didn't bother to hide his intentions.
What they want to do is almost written all over their faces!
Unfortunately, I was blind and mindless in my previous life, and I was completely manipulated by him and someone like Ma Yulian.
“Xingxing, Xiaoming, your grandpa wants to kick us out. Come quickly and beg him to tell him that Dad knows he was wrong and will definitely change in the future.”
Seeing that Li Junsheng was unmoved by his attempts to play the victim, Li Guojun quickly called Xingxing and Xiaoming over to beg Li Junsheng.
Xingxing's tears were truly worthless; she cried whenever she wanted, pitifully begging Li Junsheng!
"Grandpa, please don't send us away. We promise we'll behave and we can help you..."
No matter how much Xingxing pleaded, Li Junsheng remained indifferent and unmoved.
Very good. At such a young age, Xingxing already shows the beginnings of what she'll be like when she grows up—one face in public, another in private.
Li Chunya couldn't bear to see the two children pleading so pitifully, so she tried to persuade Li Junsheng.
"Dad, are you sure you don't want to give my older brother another chance? Maybe he really does realize his mistake?"
"You don't need to say anything more, my mind is made up!"
Li Junsheng didn't want to bring up the matter of his eldest son anymore. He didn't blame his third daughter for always being so soft-hearted and easily taken advantage of.
She is a mother of three, and her maternal instincts made her unable to bear seeing Xingxing and Xiaoming looking so pitiful. That's why she spoke up for Li Guojun, which is understandable.
If this maternal instinct is exploited, then the person who exploits their daughter is utterly despicable.
Looking at the gleam in Li Guojun's eyes, Li Junsheng knew that this kid would betray him sooner or later.
He lies easily, he can make things up as soon as he opens his mouth. It's not necessarily true that Wang Xiuhua didn't care about the children and went back to her parents' home!
Li Junsheng could have easily started with Wang Xiuhua, gone to the eldest brother to lie to him, and used the evidence of the third sister's maternal instincts, but for now, he should deal with the immediate matter first.
Li Junsheng rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to personally prepare another set of the dishes that the crew had specifically requested, along with Tang Liang.
He personally packed it up and secured it to Li Guohua's bicycle.
Li Guohua changed his clothes and came over, having also applied medicine to the bruises on his face.
"Alright, Dad, I'm going to deliver the food now."
Li Junsheng nodded and watched Li Guohua ride away on his old bicycle.
Halfway there, a group of masked men saw Li Guohua appear, exchanged glances, and blocked his path.
The leader pointed at Li Guohua and swore, "You little bastard, didn't you learn your lesson after getting beaten up? You still dare to deliver food to people!"
Li Guohua squeezed the brakes and looked at the person who was leading the shouting with a sense of smugness.
"How dare you speak to your grandpa like that? You won by numbers just now, which was an unfair victory. This time, grandpa came prepared. Look behind you!"
Behind the masked thugs, Li Junsheng had a cigarette dangling from his mouth, accompanied by Tang Liang and several male waiters from the restaurant.
He slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and gestured to the person next to him.
Tang Liang and his group understood and immediately surrounded the masked robbers. The leader, seeing that Li Junsheng had brought many people, knew they had fallen into a trap and immediately tried to break free and escape.
Tang Liang was quick-witted and agile; he took a few steps, then kicked the runner to the ground.
He chased after him, grabbed the leader's arm behind his back, and pressed his face to the ground with his other hand.
The remaining masked robbers were also captured one by one with the help of the male waiters.
Tang Liang directly ripped off the cloths covering the faces of these people, so that Li Junsheng could see clearly who had kidnapped his second brother-in-law.
The people in front of him were completely unfamiliar to Li Junsheng; he had never seen them before.
The group of men had tattoos on the backs of their hands and necks, and they had a roguish air about them, looking like gangsters.
After thinking for a moment, Li Junsheng stepped forward, blew a puff of smoke into the face of the young man in the lead, stared at his defiant face, and deliberately said, "Where did these little punks come from? How dare you rob our Li Family Grand Hotel? Don't you know we're partners with Boss He from Hong Kong? Aren't you afraid he'll mess with you?"
Boss He was notorious outside, and Li Junsheng thought that these people would be afraid when they heard his name.
Unexpectedly, the other party was not afraid at all.
