Chapter 58: Provocation
Walked straight out of the restaurant door.
Cheng Yunxiao wanted to call Li Hao to pick her up, but when she went out, she found that Li Hao was already waiting outside.
Without a superfluous word, Cheng Yunxiao stepped into the car, glanced out the window, and found that Qi Jingming was chasing in her direction.
"By car. She coldly ordered.
Before the words fell, Li Hao kicked the accelerator, and the car rushed out like an arrow off the string.
"Did he follow?"
The car drove for about five minutes, and Cheng Yunxiao sat upright in the back seat and asked, her nerves had not yet recovered from the tension just now.
Li Hao looked in the rearview mirror and repeatedly confirmed that Qi Jingming's car did not follow, before replying, "No." ”
Cheng Yunxiao's whole person relaxed instantly, took off his high heels and threw them on the seat next to him, his head tilted back, and his limbs were weak and weak.
She seems to have messed up, obviously as long as she listens quietly all the time, she finally insists on refusing and it can be a happy end.
But she couldn't control her emotions.
Although she believes that she has the ability to make the Cheng family bigger and stronger in a few years, the current situation of internal and external troubles has made her a little anxious, and she has just directly collided with the Qi family, which is really a disaster.
Moreover, the incident that Qi Jingming said in his mouth that "the field was provoked by others" also made her very concerned, and she had to find a time to ask clearly.
Li Hao drove silently in the front seat, and from the mirror above his head, he saw that Cheng Yunxiao had a tired face, and he knew that the date with Qi Jingming was not going well, although he wanted to comfort her, but if Cheng Yunxiao didn't take the initiative to say what happened, he wouldn't ask.
Li Hao...... The Qi family wants to marry me. Cheng Yunxiao's tone was casual, her head leaned against the car window, looking at the scenery along the road, there were too many things in her head, and she had to pour out to make herself more comfortable.
Hearing the word "marriage", Li Hao's heart couldn't help but tremble, swallowed his saliva, opened his mouth but didn't make a sound, tried several times in a row, and finally asked in a calm voice,
"Do you agree?"
"Nope. Cheng Yunxiao laughed, compared to the previous smirk, the current smile has a little warmth, "I collapsed, scolded the entire Qi family, and then ran out." ”
On the one hand, she was worried about not knowing how to face the future, and on the other hand, when she thought of Qi Jingming's overwhelmed appearance in the end, she felt a little funny.
For some reason, although Li Hao knew that with the current situation, if they openly rebelled against the Qi family, they would probably get into trouble, but when he heard Cheng Yunxiao say that he did not agree to the marriage, he still felt relieved.
Cheng Yunxiao's tone gradually weakened, listening a little gentle, but with sentimentality, "I'm afraid the road ahead will be very difficult......"
Li Hao is not good at comforting others, he just listened silently, but he made up his mind that even if there was a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead, he would accompany Cheng Yunxiao to go down.
Li Hao...... You're the only one left with me......"
Cheng Yunxiao clasped her hands around her chest, and she never showed her vulnerable side in front of others, even in front of her family.
But Li Hao is an exception.
No matter what happened, as long as she snuggled up to Li Hao's arms, she could temporarily forget about those sorrows and pains and feel a solid support.
But this can only be temporary, from the past to the present and even the future.
The huge identity gap between the two is destined to make the pair of lovers unable to achieve positive results, in this era of free love has already begun, "the right match" is still a shackle imposed on the two, she can ignore the world's eyes, but she can't shirk the responsibility.
The car was very fast, and it took more than ten minutes to drive to the downstairs of Cheng Yunxiao's residence
Li Hao opened the car door for her, planning to park the car and leave, but her sleeve was pulled by Cheng Yunxiao, but she quickly reacted that such behavior was not appropriate, and if she was seen, she was afraid that there would be trouble, so she let go immediately.
"I'm bored, go out for a walk with me. Cheng Yunxiao looked at the brightly lit streets, and her whole heart seemed to be built in a high wall, which made her a little breathless.
Li Hao nodded, parked the car, and silently followed behind Cheng Yunxiao all the way.
The night in the first district is very lively, and the streets are full of young people who come out for fun after a long day of work, in groups of three or five, talking and laughing.
Cheng Yunxiao is incompatible with all this.
She strolled forward aimlessly, there was almost no look in her eyes, like a machine, and there were many people along the way who were attracted by her beautiful face and cold temperament, and wanted to look back twice, but they were all frightened by Li Hao's terrifying eyes and didn't dare to raise their heads.
She was still thinking about the scene, whether what Qi Jingming said was true or false, and if it was true, who would have done it? Why did she know nothing about this matter.
At that time, the entire Cheng family was whitewashed, and on the surface began to create a legitimate business, leaving only a few underground casinos and seemingly serious bars and casinos still in business.
However, the management of these places has changed dramatically, and the initial managers have accumulated a lot of wealth in the past ten years because they have a certain status in the organization, and almost all of them have followed Cheng Hongzhi into Cheng's family.
As for their old positions, most of them were entrusted to their sons or talented young men under them.
Most of the new managers are the same age as Cheng Yunxiao, and some even had a certain friendship with her when they were young, and according to common sense, they should be easier to control than those "old ministers".
But once it was confirmed that Qi Jingming's words were true, the matter became serious.
Dozens of subordinates, large and small, none of them reported to her when something happened, at best, they were brave and resourceful, and they settled the dispute by themselves, so they didn't report to her, but at worst, they may have been bought by others to betray.
Cheng Yunxiao didn't want to watch such a thing happen, after all, the "family" is moral and loyal, and becoming a traitor is a very serious matter.
Although she has been taking care of family affairs with her father for five years and has watched many people die in front of her, she will still be a little hesitant if she really orders to erase the existence of a person.
But if it really happens, she will not be merciful, after all, whether it is for other managers or those old things in the Cheng family, this will be a good opportunity to stand up.
Thinking about these things, her heart felt a little more comfortable, and she took out the cigarette case from her bag, intending to further ease her mood.
But there was only one cigarette left in the cigarette case.
Cheng Yunxiao looked left and right, and there happened to be a tobacco and alcohol supermarket nearby that was still open.
"Li Hao, help me buy a box of cigarettes. After speaking, he didn't look at the amount, took out five or six banknotes from his wallet, and stuffed them into Li Hao's hand.
Seeing Li Hao take the banknote and walk into the store, Cheng Yunxiao ignored the expensive skirt, leaned directly on the wall outside the store, and put the cigarette in his mouth.
I took out the lighter, pressed it a few times, and found that it couldn't be lit at all, and it seemed to be broken.
She cursed in her heart, "It's really unlucky." He put away the lighter, pinched the cigarette in his hand, and prepared to wait for Li Hao to come out.
But at this moment, two casually dressed young men walked on the right hand side, looking like gangsters, walking slightly swaying, exuding a smell of alcohol on their bodies, as if they were drunk, seeing Cheng Yunxiao's eyes shining, they walked straight up to talk.
"Yo ~ beauty, a person ~ " said one of the little gangsters who dyed his hair in a piercing yellow, his face was slightly red, and his demeanor was frivolous, and he could feel from that blurred look that he had really drunk a lot.
"It's better to ...... Accompany us brothers...... Play for money...... Let's go out!" the other had slurred his speech, and had a thick "gold" chain around his neck, which he knew at a glance was fake.
"I beg you not to mess with me. Cheng Yunxiao clasped her hands, she didn't want to deal with the two drunks, but it was estimated that the warning was useless, after all, the two of them were already unconscious, and they couldn't listen to it at all, so they could only wait for Li Hao to educate them to be people.
"Beauty, your chain is very valuable, right?" The yellow-haired gangster suddenly saw Cheng Yunxiao's ruby pendant, and reached out directly towards her neck.
The so-called drinking pleasure hurts the body, these two gangsters may never have imagined that this "injury" will be physical.
Just a second before the yellow-haired gangster's hand was about to touch Cheng Yunxiao, his wrist was suddenly choked in the air.
“XX!” He scolded, and there was originally a second half of the sentence, "Who XX doesn't have long eyes." But before he could say anything, he felt a sharp pain in his wrist, and all his words turned into a wail.
There were curious glances from the people around, but they all quickly left with their heads down, so as not to get into trouble.
Li Hao punched directly at the door of Huang Maomian, making him lie directly on the ground, covering his face and twisting from side to side, looking very funny.
The other with a gold chain saw that something was wrong and wanted to escape, but before he could take half a step, he was caught by Li Hao with one hand and couldn't move.
In order not to cause trouble to the people on the street, Li Hao restrained one person with one hand, and picked up the yellow hair on the ground with the other hand and threw it into the alley not far away.
Stimulated by the huge pain, Huang Maojiu woke up halfway, he was not stupid, he saw that the two people in front of him were not easy to mess with, the woman's calmness was a little too much, and there was a kind of arrogance that ordinary people couldn't pretend to be at all.
And the man who followed her was extraordinary, and he and the gold chain could not be opponents at all.
Now that he can't escape this situation, he can only try for a while to rely on his "sincere" attitude of admitting his mistakes and strive to be less injured.
Li Hao didn't intend to let the two of them go like this, he couldn't tolerate someone making such a frivolous move towards Cheng Yunxiao, and his fists clenched.
"It's Li Hao, it's just two drunks. Cheng Yunxiao stopped Li Hao in time, it was enough to teach these two people a lesson, and if she continued to think about it, she would feel that she had lost her value, and walked out of the alley after speaking.
Hearing Cheng Yunxiao's order, Li Hao turned around and glared at the two fiercely, turned around and followed.
Huang Mao was shocked, and even had a feeling of the aftermath of his life, and he was even more sure that these two people were definitely not ordinary.
But the gold chain, the drunkenness has not subsided, and he stood up from the ground scolding, and saw that Cheng Yunxiao and Li Hao were about to leave, and out of nowhere came an inexplicable confidence, pointing at them and shouting:
"You don't dare to move the master! hurry up and go home honestly and hide, don't think that if you run away today, the master will spare you!"
This move frightened Huang Mao's face pale, and he finally sent the fairy away, and the gold chain was afraid that he would be recruited back again, so he hurriedly covered his mouth.
Cheng Yunxiao just didn't hear it, such a blatant provocation was not lethal to her.
Who knows, after the gold chain was stopped by the yellow hair, he didn't mean to stop talking at all, and continued.
"Let me tell you, my eldest brother is a man on the road! You beat us today, and tomorrow you won't be able to eat and walk around!"
"Wait. Cheng Yunxiao suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back, "What did you say?"
Seeing Cheng Yunxiao walking back, Huang Mao didn't dare to let the gold chain speak, so he hurriedly explained.
He ...... He didn't say any drunken nonsense. ”
"Shut your mouth!" Cheng Yunxiao stopped the yellow hair, stared at the gold chain, and said to him in a very threatening tone,
"What did you just say?"
