Chapter 93 Come to Apologize
After a simple breakfast, Su Xiaobai returned to the army.
The club was smashed and there were a lot of things that needed to be redecorated and purchased, so it couldn't open normally. Chen Liuhe and Huang Baiwan were also given two days off.
It was the weekend. Zhao Rulong didn't leave after having breakfast with Chen Liuhe, as if he didn't want to leave. He followed Chen Liuhe and asked him a lot of questions about how true what Su Xiaobai had said after getting drunk last night was.
Annoyed by his question, Chen Liuhe kicked him right in the face. "No matter how wonderful other people's life is, it's just others'. It has nothing to do with you."
"Chen Liuhe, you don't understand. The more you know about others' wonderful life, the better. You will have stories to brag to others in the future, won't you?" Zhao Rulong didn't mind what Chen Liuhe said and got up from the ground. He got used to calling Chen Liuhe by his name, ignoring his father's feelings.
"That's others' story. Not yours." The two of them, Chen Liuhe and Huang Baiwan, squatted on the ground, smoking. Suddenly, the two of them seemed to have nothing to do when they didn't go to work.
With an apologetic smile on his face, Zhao Rulong squatted down beside them and winked at Chen Liuhe. "Chen Liuhe, reward me with one?" He pointed at the cigarette in Chen Liuhe's hand.
"You can smoke?" Chen Liuhe asked with a smile.
"Why do you always look down upon me? I've told you that I'm proficient in all things. Do you think I'm lying?" Zhao Rulong pouted.
Shen Qingwu, who didn't work on the weekend, sat aside and read a book quietly. She raised her pretty face and glanced at them.
Zhao Rulong shivered and waved his hand awkwardly. In a serious tone, he said, "Chen Liuhe, Huang Baiwan, you're not young anymore. Why don't you take care of yourself? Smoking is harmful to your health. You are killing yourselves."
"What I smoked is not the cigarette, but loneliness," Chen Liuhe said with a smile.
The three of them squatted down and chatted. Shen Qingwu was reading quietly not far away and was not affected at all. She seemed to be in another space.
It was almost noon. Chen Liuhe glanced at Zhao Rulong and said, "Are you going to stay? No lunch for you."
Zhao Rulong rolled her eyes and said in disdain, "Look at you. You're so mean. Am I the kind of person who asks for free food?" Then he took out a hundred yuan from his pocket.
Chen Liuhe's eyes lit up and he winked at Huang Baiwan hypocritically. Huang Baiwan took the money without shame and said as he showed his yellowish big teeth, "You will get a rich lunch."
As the three of them were chatting, two figures appeared outside the house, one big and one small. They looked inside outside the door and saw Chen Liuhe and the others from a distance, but they hesitated and seemed not to dare to come in.
Huang Baiwan saw them but just smiled without saying anything.
Chen Liuhe also saw them and ignored them playfully.
Shen Qingwu also raised her eyes but remained unmoved after a slight glance.
Zhao Rulong ran out of the room and asked, "Peng, Mr. Zeng, why are you two here? It was not until Zhao Rulong saw the gifts in Zeng Xinhua's hands that Zhao Rulong realized what had happened.
The two of them were Zeng Xinhua and Zeng Zhipeng, one of the playboys last night.
"Rulong, you are here, too? That's great. Please help me to tell Mr. Chen that we did something wrong last night, and today we especially come to apologize."
Zeng Xinhua was worn out last night. After returning home last night, he didn't sleep all night. He offended Chen Liuhe, a mysterious and powerful man, which made her feel scared.
Early this morning, he called Zhao Jianglan and asked Zhao Jianglan to help him. He didn't dare to think that he could make friends with Chen Liuhe. He just hoped that Chen Liuhe wouldn't hate him.
But the answer was that Zhao Jianglan could do nothing to help him. He couldn't even enter the residence of Chen Liuhe. How could he intercede for Zeng Xinhua? The only suggestion was that Zeng Xinhua should come to Chen Liuhe's house and apologize.
After hesitating for a long time, Zeng Xinhua finally gritted his teeth and bought a lot of valuable gifts.
So he came.
He was well prepared. If he could make Chen Liuhe forgive him, he could beat his son to death today.
Zhao Rulong looked at Zeng Xinhua and then looked at his buddy Zeng Zhipeng, who had a sad face. He said, "Peng, what are you afraid of? I will protect you." Zhao Rulong was really good at putting on airs.
After saying that, Zhao Rulong shouted at the door, "Chen Liuhe, say something. If you don't speak, no one else dares to enter.".
Chen Liuhe ignored them and chatted with Huang Baiwan without looking at them.
He almost forgot what happened last night. There shouldn't be any intersection between Chen Liuhe and the two people outside, but why did the two people have to get involved?
There were cigarettes and wine. Zhao Rulong thought that Chen Liuhe would be stupid if he didn't want anything that was carried to his door. "Chen Liuhe, are you a fool?" Zhao Rulong shouted, "Say something. Just consider it as doing me a favor." Zhao Rulong put on airs.
Chen Liuhe laughed. "I didn't kick you out. How could you talk to me like that?" Chen Liuhe didn't mean to let the two people come in.
When he saw that, Zeng Xinhua's heart trembled. He thought that Chen Liuhe was still angry. With a serious look on his face, he shouted at his son beside him, "Kneel at the door. It's all your fault. Don't get up before Mr. Chen forgive you."
Zeng Zhipeng knelt and his eyes turned red again. There were passers-by outside the yard, pointing and commenting.
Chen Liuhe rolled her eyes at them. They wanted to get his forgiveness by hurting themselves.
Shen Qingwu frowned and didn't say anything, but was caught by Chen Liuhe. He knew that she didn't like this.
Heaving a sigh, Chen Liuhe stood up and said, "Don't make a fool of yourself standing at the door. Others might think that I want you to do that. The door is not closed. Why don't you come in yourself?"
Hearing this, Zeng Xinhua was overjoyed and hurried in with his son.
Zhao Rulong also smiled happily and said, "Chen Liuhe, I know you are a wise man."
"Get out of here." Chen Liuhe laughed and cursed. Then he said to Zeng Xinhua, "I know what you are doing here. Put down your things and leave. Let's forget what happened yesterday."
Zeng Xinhua didn't expect that the problem would be solved so easily. He looked at Chen Liuhe for a long time and felt relieved when he found that Chen Liuhe really meant it.
Before he left, Gu Tingfeng and his son Gu Jie, Liu Yong, and his son Liu Qinqin came to the yard one after another. They stood there hesitating, but when they saw Zeng Xinhua, they were all happy. As Zeng Xinhua succeeded, they naturally had fewer worries.
Chen Liuhe laughed and waved his hand to let them in. He repeated, "Put down gifts and leave."
Coincidentally, even Liu Shaolin, who should have been lying in the hospital for recuperation, rushed here with the help of someone, and his son, Liu Xiaoji, was accompanied by Zhao Jianglan to come.
Obviously, these people had a bad time last night. They were frightened. None of them were stupid as they reached where they were now.
The more they thought about what had happened last night, the more scared they became. So they didn't want to delay. They had to beg for the forgiveness of Chen Liuhe. Otherwise, let alone their reputation would be ruined, their family might be killed.
Among the four of them, the one who was most frightened was Liu Shaolin. He was not only shot but also suspended because of the farce last night.
Therefore, he invited Zhao Jianglan here in order to get a chance to win forgiveness.
"Well, have you agreed to come here at the same time? Why are you all here? Do you want me to cook your lunch?" Chen Liuhe chuckled.
There was no deep hatred between the two sides, so Chen Liuhe didn't hate them.
"If you really want to do that, we don't mind." Zhao Jianglan joked, and they all smiled apologetically.
Chen Liuhe replied, "No way. Go back and I can keep all the gifts. I won't let any of you stay but only the gifts."
"Mr. Chen, don't you think it's too straightforward?" Zhao Jianglan teased.
Glancing at him, Chen Liuhe asked, "What are you doing here?"
Before Zhao Jianglan could say anything, Liu Shaolin said, "Mr. Chen, it's all my fault that I didn't recognize you last night. It's all my fault that I offended you. I deserve the shot on my leg. It's fair. Please don't get mad at us. Leave me a way out."
"What's going on?" Chen Liuhe glanced at Zhao Jianglan.
Zhao Jianglan sighed. "Last night, the news that Mr. Liu used armed force without permission was spread out. I'm afraid he's going to lose his position and will be suspended for investigation."
Chen Liuhe laughed and said, "That makes sense. What does it have to do with me?
"Chen Liuhe, in fact, it was not easy for Mr. Liu, who was born in the countryside, to reach his current position. He had gone through a lot of hardships. He was a good man, but he was too short-tempered and didn't know how to beat around the bush. Last night, he was also very protective of his son. It was understandable. You can give him a chance. Forgive him."
Zhao Jianglan pleaded.
"I don't work in the government. I can't affect his career. It doesn't make any sense to say that to me, does it? In fact, I didn't put any pressure on him," Chen Liuhe said indifferently.
Zhao Jianglan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Chen, I don't believe that you don't know officialdom. You don't need to do anything to make him lose his job. He's in big trouble just because he challenged Su Xiaobai in public."
