Zhou Ying's face turned ugly, and he thought to himself: This woman can actually control such a big scene, she is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Just then, Qi Juechen came out.
He walked confidently to Li Peiyu's side and said with a smile, "The pretty girl is here. Why didn't you call me when you arrived?"
Li Peiyu smiled slightly and replied, "I'm here to talk to a friend about something."
Qi Juechen glanced at Zhou Ying and the dozen or so people he had brought, a shrewd glint in his eyes, and he roughly understood the situation.
"Let's talk business in a private room." Qi Juechen's words seemed polite, but they actually sounded very impolite.
Zhou Ying didn't dare to move. "I'll take the money and leave."
At this moment, Yang Kai, accompanied by a group of security guards in black, surrounded Zhou Ying and his group.
"Please," Qi Juechen said.
Zhou Ying had no choice but to lead his men into the private room. Yang Kai took out his phone, found a video, and showed it to Zhou Ying.
The video contains footage of a real event in Country T.
Yang Kai said, "Dude, you can't go here. The women are... you know... and the men are... you know... it's hell on earth."
Yang Kai continued arrogantly, "But, if any of you are gay, raise your hand. I'll give you a heads-up and treat you as a woman, no beatings."
"Dude, you've really hit the nail on the head this time. Do you know who that girl is?" Yang Kai whispered in Zhou Ying's ear.
"The entire underworld has to give her some leeway. Why did you provoke her?"
"To tell you the truth, last time, I was blind and offended her. My uncle, the one with the silver hair, is the boss here and a well-known figure in the underworld. Guess what, my uncle actually knelt down before her."
"Sigh, brother, who's going to protect you today?" Yang Kai said helplessly, feeling sorry for Zhou Ying.
Yang Kai suddenly raised his voice, "What are you standing there for? I'm calling on you, can't you tell? Are those two bell-shaped caps that precious?"
Zhou Ying's eyes widened, his gaze sweeping across the scene before him in terror, then down to the men dressed in black with cold, stern faces. His body began to tremble uncontrollably as he realized he had absolutely no ability to resist. Slowly, his legs gave way, and his knees slammed heavily to the ground.
When Zhou Ying's brothers saw that he had knelt down in such a sorry state, they were all terrified, their faces pale and their bodies trembling, as if they had lost the strength to even stand up.
"Is kneeling all you need to do? What's the point of having a long beak?" Qi Juechen's cold and oppressive voice rang out.
Zhou Ying's lips trembled with nervousness as he managed to say with difficulty, "I don't want the money anymore."
Li Peiyu snorted coldly and said, "How can you not want it? Isn't that what you deserve?"
"Tian Yuan, I was wrong." Zhou Ying looked at Tian Yuan next to Li Peiyu, his voice trembling uncontrollably. "Our family has supported you for so many years. Please, remember our past kindness and let me go. I am the only son in my family. I can't die."
Tian Yuan gripped Li Peiyu's arm tightly and said to Zhou Ying, "I did spend your family's money, 100,000, that's enough to pay you back. You take what you deserve, and we're even."
Without hesitation, Tian Yuan transferred 100,000 yuan to Zhou Ying.
Li Peiyu's eyes were sharp as he said in a stern voice, "Zhou Ying, don't harass Tian Yuan after you take the money, or I'll come to your house and kill you."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ying hurriedly stood up and tried to escape, but Qi Juechen blocked his way.
"You've come to my place, aren't you going to have some fun? Are you looking down on me?" Before the words were even finished, several burly men in black roughly dragged Zhou Ying and his dozen or so buddies out without saying a word.
This group of people were forced to drink, and in no time, they had spent all 100,000 yuan and even had to pay an additional 100,000 yuan.
Qi Juechen smiled gently and said to Li Peiyu, "Pretty sister, if there's nothing else here, I'll be leaving."
Li Peiyu looked sincerely at Qi Juechen and said softly, "Thank you."
"No need to thank me, it's my honor to be able to help you," Qi Juechen replied cheerfully, then turned and strode away.
Yang Kai followed closely behind Qi Juechen and went out as well. After a while, Yang Kai hurriedly returned alone.
He was carrying a heavy bag, neatly filled with 100,000 yuan in cash, and handed it to Tian Yuan with a smile.
Tian Yuan stared at the bag full of cash, hesitant and incredulous, waving her hands repeatedly, not daring to take it.
"Here you go. He spent 200,000 here. 100,000 goes to the store, and the remaining 100,000 is yours."
"I should give it back to him. I don't want to owe him anything." Tian Yuan lowered her head, her voice weak but firm.
Yang Kai said with a serious expression, "You can't be soft on this kind of scoundrel. If you don't teach him a lesson, he might bite you when he gets back."
Guo Jiahe chimed in, "Yang Kai is right. Besides, you've been bullied by him for so many years, are you just going to let him bully you for nothing?"
After listening to the two men's conversation, Tian Yuan hesitated for a long time before finally taking the money and handing it to Li Peiyu, saying, "Yours."
"Don't give it to me, I'm giving it to you." Li Peiyu waved her hand.
Realizing she genuinely needed the money, Tian Yuan stopped refusing and said earnestly, "I'll pay you back double later."
“Three times.” Li Peiyu winked slyly.
"Okay," Tian Yuan gritted her teeth and agreed.
"Five times that," Li Peiyu pressed his advantage.
"You're asking for the moon!" Tian Yuan couldn't help but raise her voice, a hint of anger on her face.
Seeing Tian Yuan's annoyed expression, Li Peiyu couldn't help but smile and said, "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. Just remember my kindness when you try to climb the social ladder in the future. Consider this my early gift."
Tian Yuan's eyes widened in disbelief, and she raised her voice, saying, "Me, trying to climb the social ladder?"
“Well, I can read faces.” Li Peiyu said seriously, raising an eyebrow. “I can tell you’re destined to be an official’s wife.”
"Stop teasing me. How could I possibly be that lucky?" Tian Yuan's face flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, her voice carrying a hint of shyness and helplessness.
"Have some confidence in yourself. I believe in you." Li Peiyu gently patted Tian Yuan's shoulder.
Afterwards, the four sisters returned to Li Peiyu's small apartment together. They bought a pitcher of beer to celebrate this rare moment of reunion.
"The problem is solved, that feels so good. I wish myself great success in the future." Tian Yuan happily raised her wine bottle and clinked it with her sisters.
Guo Jiahe said with a smile, "My acting career has begun. I hope everything goes smoothly from now on and I can make a name for myself in the entertainment industry."
Li Peiyu also said with great anticipation, "I hope my company will go public as soon as possible and achieve great success."
Lin Wanwan blinked and said, "I don't have any special wishes. I just want to graduate smoothly and live a peaceful life."
After saying that, the four of them happily toasted each other, the beer foam overflowing from the bottle opening, creating a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere.
Tian Yuan said with emotion, "So many things happened during the summer vacation. Jiahe even went to act in movies."
