Li Wenbin raised his eyes, stepped forward, pointed at Lu Chen's nose and cursed, "You bastard, you used dirty tricks to defraud 60 million from my son?"
Xia Zijin frowned slightly and stared at Li Wei coldly, "Li Wei, what do you mean?"
Hearing Xia Zijin's question, Li Wei blushed on the spot.
But he couldn't control that much now. He couldn't just watch 60 million fall into Lu Chen's pocket.
Now that no one else is present, Lu Chen must take advantage of this opportunity to obediently take out the 60 million he just swallowed.
He directly chose to ignore Xia Zijin, and then stared at Lu Chen coldly, "Boy, if you want to leave here safe and sound, you have only one choice, and that is to give me 60 million first, and then kowtow to me and apologize!
"
"As long as you follow my instructions, maybe I will be merciful and let you go!"
"But if you don't follow my instructions, then don't blame me..."
When he said this, Li Wei couldn't help but sneered a little.
Lu Chen glanced at the father and son and couldn't help but sneered, "Why, you can't afford to lose?"
"My son has lost like a dog, so you asked me to come out and wipe my butt so soon?"
"presumptuous!"
Li Wei was so angry that he roared at Lu Chen, "Believe it or not, I can have your dog mouth torn apart right now?"
"You guys are really capable."
An indifferent voice came from behind Lu Chen and clearly fell into the ears of Li Wenbin and Li Wei, father and son.
"That's natural. Why don't you go and inquire about it? My Li family is in Jinling..."
Li Wenbin raised his chin proudly, looking particularly arrogant, but his voice stopped abruptly the next second.
When he saw Shen Tianlong walking out from behind Lu Chen, his eyes were as big as copper bells and he had a look of extreme shock on his face.
this……
Isn't this the richest man in Jinling, Shen Tianlong?
Why is he here?
Li Wenbin's head was a little dazed, and he suddenly realized that this was Shen Tianlong's property, and it was not surprising that he would appear here.
Li Wei, who was on the side, did not realize that something was wrong at first, but still added with extra pride, "Even if you don't go and find out how powerful my Li family's status in Aurous Hill is now."
"Who doesn't know that our Li family has recently been fortunate enough to cooperate with the Shen Group, which is the property of Shen Tianlong, the richest man in Jinling. The Li family is now in a state of rapid growth, and there are more people who want to curry favor with you. You guys..."
Before Li Wei could finish his words, Li Wenbin immediately whispered to him, "Shut your mouth!"
"Mr. Shen is here!"
Hearing this, Li Wei was stunned.
Li Wenbin quickly passed Lu Chen with a sneer and came to Shen Tianlong.
"Mr. Shen, I didn't expect you to be here too. It's such an honor for me, Li Wenbin, to meet you!"
Li Wei quickly came to his senses and walked forward with a very respectful attitude, "Hello, Mr. Shen!"
Both father and son were complimenting Shen Tianlong.
Shen Tianlong looked cold and did not respond to them.
Li Wenbin realized something was wrong and asked with a smile, "Mr. Shen, you don't look very good. What's the matter?"
"That's a good question!"
Shen Tianlong had a gloomy face and a hint of sneer, raised his hand and slapped Li Wenwu on the face.
Although he came later, he also captured relevant information from what he just said.
This father and son really had the guts to do so, how dare they act so arrogantly in front of the young master?
It’s simply boring!
"Mr. Shen, what are you..."
Li Wenbin covered his red and swollen face in confusion and looked at Shen Tianlong in confusion.
Li Wei on the side was also dumbfounded.
He couldn't understand why Shen Tianlong suddenly hit his father, but he didn't dare to ask further.
He could only stand aside with his waist hunched over, not even daring to take a breath.
"You two bastards!"
Shen Tianlong cursed at Li Wenbin and his son, then looked at Lu Chen and asked for help, "Mr. Lu, these two dared to be disrespectful to you just now. I don't know how to deal with it?"
Li Wenbin and his son were completely stunned.
Their faces showed disbelief.
What's happening here?
How could Shen Tianlong be so respectful to the young boy in front of him?
and……
Do you still call him Mr. Lu?
Lu Chen glanced at Li Wenbin and Li Wei with a half-smile.
Feeling Lu Chen's cold gaze, they couldn't help feeling frightened in their hearts, and a chill surged into their hearts from the soles of their feet.
If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed that Shen Tianlong would be so respectful to Lu Chen.
Lu Chen said calmly, "I just heard them say that the Li family has reached a cooperation with your Shen Group, so let's cancel their cooperation."
"clear!"
Shen Tianlong nodded immediately.
Li Wenbin was stunned as if struck by lightning.
This time, the Li family spent a lot of effort to win the cooperation with the Shen Group, and now it is canceled because of Lu Chen's words?
This was a huge blow to him!
With Shen Tianlong's influence, I am afraid that this is no longer as simple as canceling the cooperation, and there is even a great possibility that he will be suppressed by the Shen Group.
If this situation continues, then the Li family will really be finished!
Thinking of this, Li Wenbin's legs became weak and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"No!"
"Mr. Lu, everything that happened just now was a misunderstanding. Please be merciful and let my Li family go this time!"
"Mr. Shen, since we are working so hard for the Shen Group, please put in a good word for us!"
Li Wenbin's voice was trembling, his face was pale, and he kept begging Lu Chen and Shen Tianlong for mercy.
Shen Tianlong had no sympathy, "You, the Li family, are doing your own thing."
"We know we were wrong. We are willing to admit defeat. We don't want anything more than 60 million. We just ask you to show your noble hand."
As Li Wenbin said this, he turned back and glanced at Li Wei who was in a daze. He suddenly felt a hatred for iron and steel, so he stood up and slapped Li Wei hard on the face.
"Evil son!"
"Why don't you kneel down quickly!"
"All this is thanks to you. Please apologize to Mr. Lu and the others immediately, otherwise I will pretend that I don't have you as my son."
Li Wei endured the burning pain on his face and knelt on the ground.
"sorry!"
He felt extremely humiliated, but now he was cornered and could only do what Li Wenbin said.
He knew very well that if he really failed to get Lu Chen's forgiveness this time and the Li family lost the opportunity to cooperate with the Shen Group, Li Wenbin would probably disown his son.
He did not dare to neglect, and at the same time he cast a look for help at Xia Zijin beside him.
"Zijin, since we were good classmates, can you say a nice word to me? I will never appear in front of you in the future."
Li Wei begged for mercy, "Now our classmates are in trouble, you can't just ignore them!"
Xia Zijin shrugged his shoulders, "Sorry, I really can't help you with this."
"You have provoked him now. Only you can save yourselves. Even if I open my eyes, it will be of no use."
She simply put aside the relationship.
For people like Li Wei, if Lu Chen and Shen Tianlong didn't know each other, I'm afraid he would have sent someone to embarrass her and Lu Chen by now.
The so-called friendship between classmates is really ridiculous.
Lu Chen glanced at them indifferently, "You seemed to have said you wanted to tear your mouth apart just now, right?"
"Don't say that I don't give you a chance. You are going to tear each other up now. As long as you tear your mouths apart, I can consider letting you go."
Li Wenbin and Li Wei's faces were ashen, their hearts were beating hard, and they collapsed weakly on the ground.
If they really want to do what Lu Chen said, they can't do it...
Compared with losing cooperation, they cannot bear torture and are more afraid of death.
Just when they were about to cry, Lu Chen had already left with Xia Zijin.
Watching their leaving figures, Li Wenbin and his son felt extremely regretful.
If he had known that this would be the result, he would rather break his own legs than run over to settle the score with Lu Chen.
On the way back to Xia Zijin's residence.
Chase Lu pondered, "As for the investment Duan Niqing mentioned, I advise you not to follow it."
"How to say?"
Xia Zijin turned his head, looked at Lu Chen and asked, "What do you think?"
Lu Chen said truthfully, "I think there is something wrong with Duan Niqing. The project she asked you to invest with me sounds like it has great benefits now, but there will definitely be problems in the end."
Xia Zijin thought for a moment and then slowly said, "Do you have evidence?"
"not yet."
"But we are already investigating."
Lu Chen emphasized again, "Anyway, just trust me. It's definitely not easy for Duan Niqing to appear next to us. Don't trust anyone casually."
"You don't have any evidence, you're just basing it on your feelings. It doesn't mean anything."
Xia Zijin did not agree with Lu Chen's statement, "Sister Qing has supported me many times before. If she really had any purpose, she should have mentioned it when she first came forward. There is no need to wait. Now."
"Although I haven't spent much time with her, every time I'm with her, she and I can always talk about common topics. We're quite in tune with each other, and there's no weird feeling like you mentioned. .”
"So, is it possible that you are overthinking?"
Lu Chen shook his head, "You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts. No matter what, it's better for you to be cautious."
Xia Zijin nodded disapprovingly, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion and can distinguish right from wrong."
"I hope so."
Lu Chen smiled slightly, knowing very well that this was just Xia Zijin's perfunctory response.
But since Xia Zijin said so, no matter how much he tried to persuade her, it would be of no avail.
Now I just hope that Xia Zijin really listens to everything he said.
Seeing that the two people had different ideas, Xia Zijin didn't want to continue talking about this matter with Lu Chen, so he changed the topic directly, "It's almost dinner time."
Lu Chen looked at the time and said, "Do you have an appointment?"
"No."
Xia Zijin shook his head, "If I had a date, would I still sit in your car now?"
Lu Chen smiled, "Since we don't have an appointment, I'll treat you to a meal. It just so happens that we haven't had a meal together for a long time."
Xia Zijin thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to invite me."
"Okay, don't use it if you don't need it."
Lu Chen spread his hands. It was rare for him to ask Xia Zijin to have dinner with him, but if the other party didn't appreciate it, forget it. There was no need to be warm and cold.
Xia Zijin glanced at Lu Chen from the corner of her eye and could clearly see that he was a little disappointed, which actually made her happy.
She stared at Chase Chase and teased, "Why, I didn't agree to your invitation. Are you unhappy?"
"What can this mean?"
Lu Chen chuckled lightly, "It's not like I can't eat alone. Besides, I feel more comfortable eating alone than two people."
"..."
Xia Zijin was speechless.
This Lu Chen is really a straight man, he is hopeless.
Didn't he understand what she just said?
Just when she was thinking about this, Lu Chen stepped on the brakes and the car slowly stopped.
He said, "We're here."
Xia Zijin came back to his senses and coughed lightly, "Please accompany me to another place again."
"Where to go?"
"Of course I'm going to buy groceries."
Xia Zijin rolled his eyes at Lu Chen, "You don't need to invite me tonight, I will cook for you myself."
Lu Chen suddenly realized it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, and Xia Zijin happened to see the smile that he couldn't hide.
Lu Chen stepped on the accelerator and continued to drive away, heading straight to the vegetable market.
Xia Zijin was amused.
This guy who usually looks cold and cold can actually be so stupid sometimes.
Not to mention, this guy is a little straighter, but he's pretty cute.
If Lu Chen knew at this time that Xia Zijin used cute to describe him, his whole body would probably burst into tears.
A tall, seven-foot-tall man is called cute. This... is really unimaginable.
About thirty minutes later, Lu Chen and Xia Zijin both returned to their residence carrying the groceries they had just bought.
After this grocery shopping experience, Lu Chen saw a side of Xia Zijin that few people knew.
When we were at the vegetable market, all these dishes were selected by Xia Zijin, and the prices were very affordable.
This surprised Lu Chen.
Logically speaking, Xia Zijin is a young lady from a wealthy family, and now she is the chairman of two major companies, so she does not have any financial pressure.
But under such circumstances, Xia Zijin not only did not have a lot of money, but also behaved like a housekeeper.
This is rare.
Lu Chen originally wanted to work with Xia Zijin, but Xia Zijin wanted to finish the dinner with his own hands, so he asked Lu Chen to leave the kitchen.
In this way, Lu Chen was very free. He didn't have to do anything, he just sat on the sofa and waited.
He looked at the busy Xia Zijin and couldn't help but feel a little lost.
He had never thought about this scene. At this moment, Xia Zijin put aside his previous aloofness and showed all his virtuousness and gentleness...
All this is like a dream.
At this time, Xia Zijin was also cooking very carefully, and looked towards Lu Chen from the corner of his eye from time to time.
The two looked right at each other.
Lu Chen smiled slightly.
Xia Zijin's pretty face turned red, so she had no choice but to avoid Lu Chen's eyes and focus on cooking again.
Xia Zijin was quite agile in cooking. Soon, she had prepared several dishes and placed them on the dining table herself. She also brought a bottle of red wine.
Lu Chen, on the other hand, just sat back and enjoyed the success, standing by to help Xia Zijin untie his apron, and at the same time, he opened the chair very gentlemanly and let Xia Zijin sit down.
"How does it taste?"
Xia Zijin looked at Lu Chen expectantly.
"good."
Lu Chen nodded and began to taste each dish.
I have to say that Xia Zijin’s cooking skills are very good, and every dish is just right.
"good!"
Lu Chen praised, "Whoever can marry you as his wife in the future will be very lucky."
"Not only are you successful in your career, but you can also work in the kitchen, which is great."
Xia Zijin smiled playfully, "How about I give you an advantage?"
When Lu Chen heard this, he immediately choked on his food.
He raised his head and stared at Xia Zijin.
Unexpectedly, these words actually came out of Xia Zijin's mouth.
He didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a joke. He just smiled lightly and didn't respond.
Seeing that Lu Chen didn't talk to him, Xia Zijin felt bored.
She poured two glasses of wine and signaled to Lu Chen, "Have a drink."
Lu Chen nodded, picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Xia Zijin.
"Done."
Xia Zijin finished speaking and drank all the wine in one gulp.
Lu Chen originally wanted to persuade Xia Zijin to drink less and just have fun.
But before he could speak, Xia Zijin had already finished the entire glass of wine.
"Why don't you drink?"
Xia Zijin urged, "It's rare for me to cook today, so don't let it disappoint you."
It has indeed been a long time since the two of them had a meal alone. It was a rare opportunity to be together, and Xia Zijin was cooking the food himself, so they really wanted to have a good time.
"Okay, drink!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen drank it all in one gulp.
In the following time, the two chatted and drank wine happily.
One cup after another.
In less than half an hour, the two of them drank the entire bottle of red wine.
The red wine had a strong stamina, and Xia Zijin's pretty face turned crimson and her head felt a little dizzy.
Lu Chen also drank freely. Although he had a large capacity for alcohol, he was too excited after drinking this time and was a little drunk.
"Come again."
Xia Zijin took out another bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, smiled at Lu Chen, "I won't go home until I'm drunk today."
Seeing this, Chase Lu stretched out his hand to stop him, "Okay, it's almost done, don't drink any more."
"You have already started to get drunk. If you keep drinking like this, you will really fall down."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xia Zijin smiled and said, "I am very sober, I can still drink."
Lu Chen did not let go, "Stop drinking."
Xia Zijin stared at Lu Chen closely, "Why do you care so much every time? Who am I?"
"I……"
Lu Chen was about to speak but stopped.
Xia Zijin chuckled, "Why, is this problem so difficult?"
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, "Aren't we just friends?"
"Coward!"
Upon hearing Lu Chen's answer, Xia Zijin shook off Lu Chen's hand on the spot.
She stared straight at Lu Chen, "Lu Chen, are you still a man?"
"Don't you even dare to tell the truth?"
"I didn't expect you to be such a timid man!"
"If this keeps up, I might as well just go on a blind date."
"It's so boring!"
Xia Zijin dropped these words, then slowly stood up and came to lie down on the sofa.
Drunkness came over me and my head felt dizzy.
From Lu Chen's perspective, Xia Zijin's graceful body was clearly visible, his face was rosy and slightly drunk, and he exuded an alluring aura, as charming as a fairy.
Even Lu Chen, who was very determined, couldn't help but feel a little thirsty when he saw Xia Zijin's appearance.
Just when Xia Zijin was about to squint, Lu Chen stood beside her.
"The sofa here is too narrow, let's go to the bed."
Lu Chen directly picked up Xia Zijin from the sofa.
Xia Zijin was stunned for a moment, and his whole body froze.
She didn't expect Lu Chen to be so bold suddenly, but she didn't resist and allowed Lu Chen to carry her towards the bedroom.
