Wu Youcai's eyes scanned Li Changle from head to toe before turning to Liu Yong with a smirk. "Lele, is this your boyfriend?" he asked with a hint of mockery.
Li Changle ignored him. Her expression was cold and aloof. Liu Yong, on the other hand, stood his ground, blocking Wu Youcai's path and fixing him with a stern gaze.
Wu Youcai's initial irritation quickly turned into anger, and he spat out a derogatory remark.
"Go away, good dog out of the way," he sneered.
Li Changle stifled a laugh, covering her mouth with a delicate hand. Despite her disdain for Wu Youcai, she couldn't help but feel amused at her boyfriend's unwavering composure.
Liu Yong didn't back down, though. "I'm not interested in you, and I don't want to know who you are. Please don't pester my girlfriend again in the future, or I won't be polite," he warned.
Wu Youcai chuckled in response, his eyes glinting with arrogance. "Lele will only suffer when being with you," he said, turning to Li Changle. "Can you afford a house in Huahai City, can you afford a car, and how much is your monthly salary?"
Li Changle rolled her eyes, unimpressed by Wu Youcai's materialistic boasting. "Wu Youcai, you're embarrassing yourself," she said with a sigh.
But Wu Youcai wasn't deterred. "Lele, it will be different if you are with me. You see, this is my Mercedes," he boasted, gesturing to the nearby car. "I have also bought a new house with more than 130 square meters."
Liu Yong couldn't help but snicker at Wu Youcai's ridiculousness. "Get out!" he shouted, losing his patience.
Wu Youcai remained rooted in place, a smug expression on his face. "You don't know who I am, so I'll tell you right now, I'm the vice president of Risheng Ocean Shipping Group Huahai Branch, with an annual salary of two million," he said, puffing out his chest.
Liu Yong's eyes narrowed in recognition. He had met Luo Maoyuan, the boss of Risheng Group, a few days ago and had a bad encounter with his bodyguards. From then on, he had no love for the Risheng Group or anyone affiliated.
"Risheng Group is a fart, so get the **** out of here," Liu Yong spat, his voice laced with contempt.
Wu Youcai continued to assert his position as the vice president of the Risheng Group Huahai Branch, refusing to move aside.
However, Liu Yong had no intention of indulging him further and decided to take matters into his own hands. Without hesitation, Liu Yong grabbed Wu Youcai and forcefully threw him aside.
A crowd had gathered to witness the spectacle, and many of them were on the side of Liu Yong and Li Changle.
They regarded Wu Youcai as a conceited and arrogant individual who was not worthy of their respect.
In their eyes, he was nothing more than a toad trying to win a swan's affection.
The sound of laughter filled the air as people watched Liu Yong easily toss Wu Youcai several meters away. They applauded Liu Yong's display of power and complimented him on his good looks.
"Wow, that was such an impressive move," one person exclaimed. "Li Changle's boyfriend is so handsome," said another.
Many onlookers commented on how well-matched the couple seemed to be. However, only some were pleased with the commotion caused by Wu Youcai's behavior.
"That guy with the flowers is such a joke," someone sneered. "And that car he parked at the school gate - it's just a broken Mercedes-Benz C. "
"It blocked so many people, and I want to overturn it," another person said.
As Liu Yong tossed aside Wu Youcai, Liu took Li Changle's hand and walked away while the crowd eagerly cleared a path.
Not far from where they stood, Liu's Cullinan was parked by the roadside, waiting for them. The sight of Liu leading Li Changle to the luxurious vehicle stunned many onlookers.
"That's not his car," exclaimed one of them in disbelief.
"It's a Cullinan, worth at least six or seven million," added another.
"This guy is seriously rich," said a third, in awe.
People around them watched as Liu opened the car door, invited Li Changle to sit in the passenger seat, and then got into the driver's seat himself.
The Cullinan gradually drove away, leaving the astonished crowd behind.
The scene erupted in a frenzy when Liu opened the car door. Applause broke out, and Wu Youcai, who had been flaunting his new 130-square-meter house and Mercedes-Benz C, was left feeling foolish.
He couldn't believe he had just been showing off in front of someone who owned a Cullinan. Embarrassed, his face turned hot, and he felt like disappearing into the ground.
Noticing the sneering looks of the people around him, Wu Youcai decided to leave immediately.
He got into his car and drove away, hoping to escape the awkward situation. The school gate was filled with joyful laughter, mocking Wu Youcai for fleeing in embarrassment.
This incident was sure to be the topic of conversation among the students and teachers of the school.
Meanwhile, Liu Yong drove Li Changle towards his villa, leaving the commotion behind.
Li Chang appeared apologetic as she tried to explain herself to Liu Yong,
"Brother Yong, I truly have no idea who that person is. All I know is his name is Wu Youcai, and I'm not even sure what he does."
Liu Yong was very understanding, replying generously, "It's alright, Lele. I'm not bothered by it."
Feeling relieved, Li Chang leaned in to give Liu Yong a quick kiss, her gratitude overflowing.
Liu Yong laughed happily, teasing her mischievously, "That doesn't count. You have to kiss me properly."
He turned his head to pout, expecting a kiss on the lips from Li Chang.
Li Chang acted coyly, gently pushing Liu Yong away, reminding him, "You're driving right now. Pay attention to the road."
Liu Yong chuckled, "Alright, alright. If I weren't driving, would you kiss me again?"
Li Chang playfully threatened, "You're dead. I'll ignore you."
Liu Yong adored Li Chang's playful and shy demeanor, laughing joyfully again.
As they drove home, Liu Lan had already returned from school, taking the subway to the gate.
"Sister-in-law, brother, what would you like for dinner tonight? Miss Ben will cook for you," Liu Lan offered.
Li Chang corrected her in a low voice, "Liu Lan, remember not to call me sister-in-law anymore. Just call me Lele or sister Le."
Liu Lan replied, "It's all the same to me. You're still my sister-in-law in my heart."
Li Chang gave Liu Lan an exasperated look.
Although Liu Yong rarely cooked at home, his fridge was well-stocked with ingredients, and Liu Lan and Li Chang quickly got to work in the kitchen.
Liu Yong tried to help by folding dishes and reminded them, "There are only three of us, so don't cook too much. We won't be able to finish it, and it would be a waste."
Liu Lan gently nudged him, "We know you can go watch TV in the living room. Don't get in our way here."
Li Chang added, "You should go watch TV too. Don't interfere with our cooking."
Liu Yong smiled wryly, sat down on the sofa, and scrolled through his phone.
Soon enough, the kitchen was filled with the fragrant aroma of cooking.
