My friend's uncle took a fancy to me

Chapter 33 Eat walnuts! Nourish your brain

Lu Xiaoqiao drank the last glass of wine and picked up the money at the bottom and put it away.

The yellow-haired man sitting in the booth whistled, then turned to the man in the burgundy shirt sitting in the main seat and said, "Brother Liang, this girl is good!"

The man called Brother Liang stood up slowly with a cigarette in his mouth and stopped Lu Xiaoqiao from leaving: "Why are you in such a hurry to leave, little beauty?"

Lu Xiaoqiao dodged his outstretched hand and said, "What else do you want? I've already finished the wine as requested. You guys, a bunch of grown men, wouldn't want to renege on your debt, would you?"

I didn't expect that the girl, who looks young, can drink a lot and is so pretty. I wonder what she would look like lying on the bed after getting drunk. It makes me feel itchy just thinking about it.

"Die away? A beauty like you certainly wouldn't do that."

After saying this, regardless of Lu Xiaoqiao's resistance, he put his hand on her waist as he spoke: "But you can ask around. In Hangzhou, as long as I, Chen Liang, am around, no one dares to default on my debts even if I want to..."

"Oh!"

Before Chen Liang could finish his words, he was suddenly punched in the face and his whole body fell heavily on the table in front of the sofa.

At the same time, the wine bottles and cups on the table were thrown to the ground in a commotion, along with the snack platter.

"Who the hell is that?" Chen Liang covered his bleeding nose, staggered to his feet and looked at the person who hit him.

Seeing the man's tall figure and cold and resolute temperament, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person, and he did not dare to speak for a moment.

There was such a loud noise here that the bar manager hurried over. A lot of people gathered around. Zhou Qizhen didn't want Lu Xiaoqiao to be surrounded and stared at by people, so he pulled her out of the bar.

When Chen Liang saw that he wanted to leave, he was about to curse when Huangmao, who came with him, hurriedly stopped him.

When Chen Liang was in school, his parents sent him abroad because he caused trouble. His family's company grew bigger and bigger. With the current status of the Chen family, his family felt that what happened back then would not happen again, so they sent someone to bring him back. He just returned to China recently.

He really didn't know Zhou Qizhen, but the people around him knew him. Rich families, like ordinary families, like to compare their children, and Zhou Qizhen is the child of other people's families in the eyes of his parents.

Even those who were much younger than him would be driven crazy by the rhetoric of "Zhou Qizhen was so-and-so when he was your age." The brave ones would retort to their parents, "You haven't even competed with me before, so why should I?" As if memories were brought back, they were met with even more severe beatings, because their parents had also been scolded by their elders, saying, "Zhou Qizhen is younger than you, and look at him so-and-so..."

Huang Mao was the one who was beaten the worst. He moved to Chen Liang's side and whispered to him, "Brother Liang, he is Zhou Qizheng, we can't afford to offend him."

Zhou Qizhen pulled Lu Xiaoqiao out of the bar and they stopped by the street lamp.

Lu Xiaoqiao was still a little confused: "Boss Zhou, why are you here?"

Zhou Qizheng didn't answer. He lowered his head and stared at her, then asked, "Why did you come to the bar?"

"what?"

"Do you know how messy this place is? What are you doing here in the middle of the night, girl? And you're even imitating others drinking! Who allowed you to drink?"

Seeing that he seemed very angry, Lu Xiaoqiao unconsciously lowered her voice: "My colleague introduced Momo to work here."

"They work here, what are you doing here?"

"I was worried about my roommate. I couldn't get through on the phone, so I called my colleague. She told me something happened to Momo, so I came! Momo made my roommate drink because she got his girlfriend's bag dirty. She couldn't drink because she was sick, and she wouldn't let us leave if she didn't."

"You drink if he tells you to? He doesn't let you leave? He dares!" Zhou Qizhen raised his voice unconsciously.

Lu Xiaoqiao was startled by his sudden loud shout. He frowned, his face looked a little gloomy, and his tone of voice was chilling. Lu Xiaoqiao was a little scared by him.

The Zhou Qizhen she knew and heard was always gentle and polite even when he was angry, and he had never shouted at anyone like he did now. Lin Lin said that he scared her without her even saying a word, so she had never seen her uncle yell at anyone.

Lu Xiaoqiao's momentum was getting lower and lower because of his yelling: "There are so many of them, and if they say they don't want to drink, they want Momo to pay 30,000 yuan."

"Did I ever tell you that you could call me if anything happened? Why didn't you contact me? Also, in this situation, if he wants money, just give it to him. Do you know what happens when a girl gets drunk in a bar? If I hadn't been there just now, do you think you could have gotten away with drinking?"

Lu Xiaoqiao lowered her head and said nothing.

"Just because he's sick and can't drink, can she push you out to drink for him? If something happens while he's drunk, can she bear the responsibility? And your colleague, she introduced your friend to work here, so she must know the supervisor here. If something like this happens, why doesn't she ask the supervisor to mediate? What's her motive for letting you come here?"

"Don't you think there's something wrong with your colleague? If you work in a place like this, try to avoid associating with people like him in the future."

Lu Xiaoqiao fell silent when he mentioned thirty thousand yuan. Thirty thousand yuan might be just the cost of a meal for him, but for ordinary people, even a dime could make a hero fall.

At first, she thought his scolding was well-intentioned and she could still tolerate it, but as his words became more and more harsh, every sentence was full of thorns and merciless, and the sharp words made her heart ache.

How could he say that about her friends? In his eyes, they were just like those rich second-generations, looking down on people like them who had no background at all.

Unable to hold back any longer, he raised his head, his eyes glaring at the person in front of him who was still talking about his friend. He always thought that he was different from other capitalists, that he was special. Although not very kind, he also understood the sufferings of the world.

But when he used the coldest words to judge his friend, Lu Xiaoqiao had already forgotten who the man in front of him was: "That's enough!"

"What are you yelling about? What's wrong with me coming to the bar? If you can come, why can't I? What's wrong with this kind of place? Do you understand what's going on? That's what you're saying."

Then he added with a sneer, "My colleague is bad? Do you think your colleague is good? If you have this time, you might as well go back and investigate your own employees. How filthy are they, relying on their power?"

Zhou Qizheng's expression darkened. "What do you mean by that?"

"What does that mean literally? You're allowed to call me your friend, but I'm not allowed to call you your employee? Even capitalists have to be reasonable, right?"

Zhou Qizheng's body trembled with anger at her last word. "Capitalist"? Ha! In her eyes, this word must be a derogatory term! His constant flattery and concern were rewarded with such a name.

The few people standing at the door of the bar in the distance couldn't hear what the two were saying, but from their tone and the atmosphere between them, it seemed that the conversation was not optimistic and they were even arguing.

Li Yuxuan just greeted the hotel manager and hurried out to check out some gossip, thinking that a hero was going to save a beautiful girl and give himself to her.

When he came out, he saw his friend scolding the little girl as if she were his own daughter. But what surprised him even more was that Lu Xiaoqiao didn't cry out of fear, but actually retorted to Zhou Qizhen.

At this moment, Li Yuxuan had a feeling that Lao Zhou would die miserably.

Looking from a distance, the man seemed so angry that he couldn't speak!

No one dared to step forward, fearing that the two would quarrel again. Li Yuxuan hesitated for a moment and then walked over with big strides.

"Why are you two still arguing? Xiao Qiao, don't be angry. Lao Zhou is worried about you. Look, he's been taking the hazelnuts you gave him everywhere. He even forgot to take them when he saw you were in danger."

Afraid that Lu Xiaoqiao would misunderstand Zhou Qizhen as being too fierce and affecting her image of him, he hurried to help explain, even though that person was indeed fierce.

"Oh! Yeah! He's even more controlling than my dad, and his eyesight is even worse than my dad's! Don't eat hazelnuts, eat walnuts! They're good for your brain."

After saying that, she reached out and snatched the hazelnuts from Li Yuxuan's hand, then turned and walked towards her friends who were waiting for her.

Zhou Qizhen watched in disbelief as Lu Xiaoqiao snatched Hazelnut away and left without a word.

After the few people left, Li Yuxuan looked back at Zhou Qizhen. He was so angry that he couldn't even stand up straight and had to stand by holding on to the street lamp next to him!

This Lu Xiaoqiao is so amazing!

Taking in Zhou Qizheng's expression, he patted his shoulder soothingly: "Old Zhou, are you okay? Don't worry! This misunderstanding can be explained. Next time, speak more gently to a little girl."

Zhou Qizheng looked up at the dark sky, which reflected his current state of mind. He took a deep breath and smiled bitterly, "Oh! In her heart, I probably don't mean as much as any of her colleagues or friends! She can even take back what she gave away."

Li Yuxuan didn't dare to respond. After all, the thing that Zhou Qizhen had been showing off for less than half an hour was taken back from him, no, it was snatched back.

However, out of kindness, I still comforted her: "How can I say this? After all, your current relationship is not what you imagined. If you two get along well in the future and get together, you will mean more to her."

Zhou Qizheng glanced at him unhappily: "You might as well be mute."

Li Yuxuan: "..."

Just when I thought Zhou Qizhen would say something else, I saw him turn around and go back to the bar. Guessing he wanted to drown his sorrows in alcohol, I quickly followed him.

As a result, after entering, he did not go to the bar, but went straight to the booth where the incident had just happened.

Chen Liang felt very angry that he was punched for no reason, and he lost face in front of his friends right after returning to China. However, he really couldn't afford to offend the other party's status and position, so he could only swallow his anger. Fortunately, after the group of people left, the bar manager comforted him with a few words and said that he would have free drinks today, which helped him save some face.

But before he could be happy for a while, he saw Zhou Qizheng, who had just beaten him, coming back again. Could it be that he came to apologize to him? After all, no matter how powerful the Zhou family was, they didn't want to make enemies with their Chen family just because of a woman.

"The right arm, right?" Zhou Qizhen's face showed no emotion, and it was hard to tell what he meant.

"what?"

Zhou Qizheng's eyes turned a little cold: "I just put my right hand around her waist!"
