Chapter 784: Chapter 783 Hesitation
Li Mengxue hesitated, then stopped herself from speaking.
"Mengxue, don’t hide it from me!" Tiger interrupted her, saying, "Your dad has already told me about your visit today, so I’m now prepared!"
Realizing she had been exposed, Li Mengxue’s face flushed with embarrassment.
She bit her cherry lips and whispered softly, "Tiger, my dad said you’re very rich!"
"Is that so?" Tiger replied with a slight smile.
"Yes!" Li Mengxue nodded firmly, "My dad said he wants you to leave this family!"
Tiger’s expression turned grim.
"Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, you won’t suffer!" Tiger said, trying to comfort her.
Seeing Li Mengxue’s demeanor, Lin Fan frowned at once.
"What on Earth are you talking about?" Lin Fan couldn’t help but demand, "Mengxue, who is he? Do you already know each other, what exactly is your relationship? Don’t forget, you’re my fiancée, everything about you belongs to me!"
Seeing Lin Fan’s angry expression, Li Hong snorted coldly and spoke displeasedly, "Lin Hui, I would advise you not to be needlessly jealous! I warn you, Mengxue has already broken off the engagement with you! From now on, stay away from her, otherwise, don’t blame me for not being civil!"
"Broken off the engagement?" Lin Fan was taken aback.
He couldn’t understand how the engagement with Li Mengxue that was about to be announced suddenly turned into a breakup.
Seeing his reaction, Li Hong’s expression softened, and he said, "Mengxue, regarding this matter, I will give you a satisfactory answer!"
"Really?" Li Mengxue asked excitedly.
"Of course!"
"Thank you so much, Uncle!"
Seeing how sensible and well-behaved Li Mengxue was, Li Hong’s face showed a trace of joy, then he turned to Tiger and said, "I’ve already had someone prepare the wedding, I hope you won’t disappoint me!"
Tiger nodded and said, "I know, Mengxue is my fiancée, I will definitely not let her down! I promise!"
"Good!" Li Hong nodded in satisfaction, then stood up, waved to the two behind him, and said, "Let’s go!"
"Alright!" The two elders nodded and then followed Li Hong as he left.
After watching Li Hong and his son leave, Tiger’s face turned vicious, and he said in a cold voice, "Liu Zheng, just you wait! I won’t let you off easily!"
As he watched the three figures disappear, Liu Zheng furrowed his brow.
"Could it be, they are the Li Family Head Li Hong that Li Mengxue mentioned?"
"The Li Family Head! Li Hong! What’s he doing in Jiangnan City? Could it be..."
The image of Li Hong and Li Mengxue entwined on a bed flooded Liu Zheng’s mind, igniting an uncontrollable rage within him.
"Mengxue, since it’s like this, then I’ll make you give up completely. I won’t give up on you!"
Liu Zheng clenched his fists, gritting his teeth.
Then, he turned to look at Li Mengxue beside him and said, "Mengxue, come with me!"
"Huh? Where to?" Li Mengxue asked, puzzled.
"To watch a play!" said Liu Zheng, the corner of his mouth lifting.
"What play?"
"You’ll know when we get there!"
After finishing, Liu Zheng started walking toward the outside of the villa.
Li Mengxue hesitated for a moment, then followed him.
"Who is your dad? Why do I get the feeling you’re very afraid of him?" Walking outside the villa, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but ask.
"He’s the Municipal Party Secretary of Jiangnan City, of course I’m scared!" Li Mengxue muttered, "With just one word, he can bankrupt us, mother and son. What can we do?"
Hearing Li Mengxue’s complaint, Liu Zheng couldn’t help but roll his eyes.
He didn’t say anything, just directly took Li Mengxue’s hand and ran towards a black sedan.
Seeing this, Li Mengxue did not resist.
Although she was very repulsed by Liu Zheng, she didn’t struggle, letting him quietly hold her hand.
Liu Zheng shoved Li Mengxue into the car, then sat down in the driver’s seat himself and started the car, leaving the villa.
...
"Li Mengxue, what do you think they are up to?"
In the car, Li Mengxue leaned against the passenger seat.
Liu Zheng turned to glance at her and asked.
Li Mengxue pondered upon hearing Liu Zheng’s question.
Eventually, she shook her head and said, "I’m not sure, they won’t tell me!"
"If they’re not telling you, it means they’re hiding something from you!"
"You don’t need to worry, I’ll find a way to help you solve it!"
Liu Zheng said indifferently.
Li Mengxue was taken aback by Liu Zheng’s words.
For some reason, a strange flutter arose in her heart.
However, Li Mengxue soon discarded this anomaly from her mind and stopped letting her thoughts run wild.
After about fifteen minutes of driving, the car arrived at the front gate of a high-end villa.
This villa occupied a vast tract of land, taking up an entire, open grassy expanse.
It was surrounded by green trees and blooming flowers.
In front of the villa, many men in black stood respectfully; upon seeing Liu Zheng’s car approaching, they bowed in greeting.
Li Mengxue couldn’t help but gasp at the sight of the villa’s interior.
She had never seen such a spectacular and luxurious villa.
Once Liu Zheng had parked the car, he walked straight inside.
"Sir, do you have an appointment?" A man in a black suit guarding the entrance stopped Liu Zheng and asked.
Liu Zheng gave the man a glance and said coldly, "No, tell your young master to come and receive me!"
Upon hearing Liu Zheng’s words, the man in the black suit was taken aback.
His tone seemed almost like an order.
"Sir, please forgive us, but you cannot enter!" the man in the black suit said firmly.
"Scram!" Liu Zheng uttered in a low shout, as the True Yuan inside his body surged instantaneously, and he struck with a palm.
"Thud!"
A muffled sound.
The man guarding the door in the black suit was sent flying immediately, crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Zheng didn’t even bother to glance at the guard as he continued with Li Mengxue towards the villa.
"Young Master, Liu Zheng has brought Li Mengxue inside!" a man in black hurried to the front of the villa and urgently reported.
"Hmph! I knew he would find us sooner or later!" Li Hong sneered, a cold glint appearing in his eyes, "But for him to dare come to the Li Family, he’s really asking for trouble! Bring someone to capture him!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Several black-clad bodyguards responded and charged forward.
"What are you doing? I’m your young lady’s friend! If you dare hurt me, my mommy won’t let you off!" Li Mengxue said in alarm, quickly speaking out.
Regrettably, Li Mengxue’s words were utterly useless and had no effect whatsoever.
"Snap! Snap! Snap..."
"Snap! Snap! Snap..."
Soon, a series of crisp sounds could be heard as the black-clad bodyguards were beaten and bloodied, covered in injuries.
Seeing this, Liu Zheng slightly furrowed his brow.
"All of you, get lost!"
Watching the people lying on the ground and wailing, Li Hong waved his hand, signaling his bodyguards to quickly leave.
This time, he did not intend to reveal his identity, so he had no choice but to rely on these bodyguards.
Relieved by Li Hong’s command, the bodyguards quickly got up and fled.
"You are no match for me, you’d better get lost right now!" Liu Zheng said with a cold snort.
"Hmph! I’m telling you, our young master will not let you off, he will take care of you himself!" Li Hong retorted with a sneer, "I warn you, stop bothering Mengxue, or don’t blame me, Li Hong, for being impolite!"
"I’m saying, better have Li Hao come out to meet me!"
"If he doesn’t come out, don’t blame Liu Zheng for being ruthless and slaughtering you!"
Liu Zheng narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Li Hong, issuing his threat.
Hearing Liu Zheng’s words, Li Hong scoffed, "Such audacity, to even dare insult our young master, you’re really tired of living!"
Sarcasm filled Li Hong’s face.
"Li Hao? Hmph! Nothing but a dog!" Liu Zheng replied dismissively, "What do you think makes your Li Hao so much better than me? He’s just a dog that fools like you believe to be loyal!"
"What did you say? You dare insult our young master?" Li Hong exploded with rage at Liu Zheng’s words.
"Hmph! Did I say something wrong?" Liu Zheng said with a disdainful smile.
"Boy, don’t push your luck, or you’ll be sorry. Just wait, and I’ll show you how powerful our young master really is!"
After saying that, Li Hong prepared to make a phone call.
But suddenly, Liu Zheng reached out, grabbed Li Hong’s wrist, and snatched away his phone.
"You bastard! You dare steal my phone!" Li Hong’s eyes widened.
"Hmph! What if I do? I have other means. Here, have your phone back!"
Liu Zheng snorted and tossed the phone into a nearby trash bin.
"Ah!"
"Damn it! You... you..."
Seeing his phone thrown into the trash can, Li Hong became frantic.
"Hmph! Now, I’m going to count to three, and you’d better disappear from my sight immediately!"
Liu Zheng glanced coldly at Li Hong and his two men, speaking with icy authority.
