676: Chapter 665: Unyielding till Death 676: Chapter 665: Unyielding till Death Su Xuan had left the Dingsheng Bar holding Li Yuanyuan, reluctant to put her down as he inhaled her delicate fragrance.
At that mont, Li Yuanyuan was already overco with mixed emotions, too shy to speak up.
As the streets gradually beca busier, Su Xuan finally set her down.
“I’ll take you ho,” he said.
Li Yuanyuan was so stunningly beautiful that any man would find it hard not to stare at her a second ti, and on top of that, it was night.
Su Xuan felt even more uneasy about letting her go ho alone.
Su Xuan had driven his own car there because the car he normally used to pick up Tang Tiantian was still in the shop, and since Liu Feilong had plenty of cars, he had managed to get ahold of a BMW 5 Series.
Driving that would not be embarrassing, considering Li Yuanyuan was still living with her parents.
Li Yuanyuan gave a slight nod and delicately opened the car door to get in.
Maybe it was the alcohol from the bar that was affecting her, but now her face was flushed with a rosy glow, making her pale, tender skin appear even more translucent.
The faint aroma of her perfu mixed with the scent of alcohol, along with her straight, shapely legs hidden beneath her skirt, only further ignited a man’s deepest desires.
Li Yuanyuan’s ho was in an apartnt in the city center.
After Su Xuan dropped her off below her apartnt building, she didn’t invite him upstairs, which left Su Xuan feeling sowhat disappointed.
However, he imdiately understood considering she was living with her parents.
“Goodbye, take it slow on the road,” she said.
It was Li Yuanyuan’s first ti drinking tonight.
Though her steps were a bit unsteady, she still managed to give Su Xuan a warm, hearty smile.
“Yeah, you too,” Su Xuan replied, still fixated on her charming, seductive face.
Suddenly, perhaps due to the effects of the alcohol, Li Yuanyuan leaned in and kissed Su Xuan on the face, catching him completely off guard.
This was totally unexpected, as their relationship hadn’t progressed to that stage yet.
“Thank you, I had a really great ti tonight,” she said.
After that, she ran off without looking back.
Indeed, Li Yuanyuan, who was usually very reserved, experienced the wild side of life tonight that she never dared to before—dancing in bars, drinking, watching Su Xuan fight because of her, and having a one-on-one date with a man.
Such things were unimaginable to her before.
Touching the spot on his face where she had kissed him, Su Xuan stood dumbfounded for a while before driving away.
Since Li Yuanyuan had just moved back ho a few days ago, her parents wouldn’t go to bed until she returned.
Seeing that she was ho, they finally went off to sleep.
“Oh, Yuanyuan, have you been drinking?” her father inquired, catching a whiff of alcohol.
Normally, their daughter didn’t touch a drop of alcohol.
“Yuanyuan, how co you drank tonight?
You usually don’t,” her mother chipped in, tone carrying a hint of complaint.
Since Li Yuanyuan graduated from university and started teaching at the Experintal Middle School in Qiutian City, everything had settled down except for her finding a boyfriend.
But Li Yuanyuan didn’t seem to care in the least about this.
Now her mother was busy trying to find out if anyone had a suitable son, clearly more concerned about it than she was.
“I was just having a good ti with so friends and ended up drinking a bit,” Li Yuanyuan evaded their questions.
It was her first ti drinking, and she still felt a bit floaty and ungrounded.
“What can I say?
You know how dangerous it is for a girl like you to drink outside?
And you don’t even have a boyfriend.
Speaking of which, did you find anyone you like at the party?” her mother asked.
She was incredibly anxious about her daughter’s marriage prospects, but her daughter seed nonchalant and slow to take action, while her parents were eagerly awaiting grandchildren.
Listening to her parents arguing in the next room, Li Yuanyuan was utterly vexed, feeling as if they were worried she would never get married.
The next morning, Li Yuanyuan was woken up early by her parents as if sothing significant had happened.
“Mom, what’s the matter?
Can’t you let sleep a bit longer?
I still have to go to work later,” Li Yuanyuan said, yawning as she left her bedroom, bewildered.
“Oh Yuanyuan, I was wrong to bla you before,” her mother began, which only confused Li Yuanyuan more.
Her father also seed very happy, almost as if he had beco several years younger.
“Yuanyuan, you already have a boyfriend and you’ve been keeping him a secret from us?”
“What are you talking about, that’s nonsense,” Li Yuanyuan instantly blushed, her mind racing.
Could soone have seen her with Su Xuan last night?
“Last night, Aunt Li from next door saw everything.
A young, handso man brought you ho.
He was even driving a BMW,” her mother continued, growing more excited.
Their interest in the BMW was because the family had been going through a rough patch in recent years.
Although both parents were retired teachers with pensions, Li Yuanyuan’s brother, Li Chengcheng, had squandered their money on gambling and stocks, leaving their parents nearly penniless, and it seed Li Chengcheng had debts outside of this as well.
If Li Yuanyuan could find a wealthy boyfriend, it would significantly alleviate the family’s financial strain.
“He’s just a friend, not my boyfriend,” Li Yuanyuan defended, yet she couldn’t help feeling thrilled inside.
She genuinely wanted to be with Su Xuan.
“Nonsense, would just a ‘friend’ kiss you like that when you parted ways last night?
I don’t believe it,” her mother retorted.
“Mom, what nonsense are you talking about!”
Li Yuanyuan stamped her foot in anger, her little fists beating on her mom’s back, telling her not to talk nonsense.
“Mom, how dare you spy on ?
I won’t pay attention to you guys anymore.”
“When did I ever spy on you?
It was just Aunt Li next door who happened to see when she was taking out the trash.
Since you have a boyfriend, bring him ho for your mom to see.
After all, I’ve been teaching for decades and I’m pretty good at reading people.”
“Mom, I’m going to school for lunch, I’m leaving now!”
Li Yuanyuan didn’t want to speak with her mother anymore; the main topic they had now was about her marriage.
“Yuanyuan, bring your boyfriend over for dinner soday.”
Watching her daughter’s departing figure, Yuanyuan’s mom called out from behind.
On the road, Li Yuanyuan still felt warmth in her heart.
She hadn’t expected her parents to feel so good about Su Xuan without even eting him.
She thought that when he eventually ca over for dinner, they would definitely get along well.
While Li Yuanyuan was contently thinking about this, disaster struck Su Xuan.
That morning when he woke up, he received a call from Tang Sisi, saying that Datang Restaurant had been set on fire the previous night!
Fortunately, the firefighters arrived in ti, but still, the damage was nearly half; the restaurant was burned beyond recognition and suffered heavy losses.
Su Xuan drove imdiately to find Tang Sisi.
When he arrived, Tang Fengyun was sitting beside, continuously wiping away tears.
The police had been notified and an investigation was underway.
Since the restaurant’s fire safety settings were all properly in place, combustion was easily ruled out, indicating that arson was the likely cause.
Tang Sisi intentionally brought Su Xuan there, feeling that there was a significant connection to Supre Treasure Restaurant on the sa street.
Su Xuan had just resolved an issue with the owner of Supre Treasure Restaurant regarding harassnt, and now, an arson occurred; clearly, there were connections.
“Su Xuan, this might have been done by soone hired by the owner of Supre Treasure Restaurant.
We got our compensation from there, definitely because we angered them with the issue.”
Tang Sisi said to Su Xuan.
Su Xuan listened, nodding his head.
Su Xuan felt sowhat guilty; if it was his recklessness that led to such devastation at Datang Restaurant, he must intervene!
“I will get justice for you.”
Su Xuan said fiercely, looking at Tang Sisi who was completely stressed out over Datang Restaurant, feeling even worse inside.
“Su Xuan, don’t be reckless.
The owner of Supre Treasure Restaurant is said to have a powerful background.
You can’t beat him.
Datang Restaurant was burned but we can renovate.
Can’t we just keep our heads down and be less conspicuous in the future?”
Even a strong woman like Tang Sisi was bowing her head, which showed what kind of person Zhou Tianhao, the owner of Supre Treasure Restaurant, was—oppressing the good people and committing many evils.
Su Xuan decided to discipline such a person.
The burning of Datang Restaurant was ninety-nine percent sure to have been his doing.
“Fine then, play dirty with ; wait and see!”
Su Xuan snorted and then left Datang Restaurant.
…
Around noon, the owner of Supre Treasure Restaurant had many businesses in Qiutian City, including real estate, catering, service, and entertainnt sectors.
Zhou Tianhao drove his Rolls-Royce to his villa.
The price of land alone in this area of Qiutian City was astronomical—ordinary people couldn’t even afford a restroom here.
Yet, security was better, equipped with various anti-theft systems, many of which were advanced imports.
So much so, that even if you threw a wallet at your doorstep, probably no one would dare to pick it up.
The security caras at the door weren’t just for show.
If a stranger wanted to enter the community, they had to provide detailed registration, making this place more regulated than a prison.
Zhou Tianhao’s daily job was to ensure his various businesses were running normally, so he actually had quite a bit of free ti.
At noon, craving Australian abalone, he specially called his personal chef to prepare it, and he ca back right at lunchti.
After pressing the fingerprint lock and iris recognition, the door opened automatically.
Zhou Tianhao humd a tune, changed his shoes, and leisurely sat on the sofa, watching the noon news.
He wasn’t actually interested in the news but in the female news anchor specifically.
“Wonder what that babe tastes like?”
Zhou Tianhao sat on the sofa, fantasizing.
A few days ago, he had slept with a female celebrity, but afterward felt it was nothing special—all won were the sa, after all.
“Lucy, is my Australian abalone ready?”
Zhou Tianhao, seeing the news turn to ads, got bored and walked away.
Why was there no sound from the kitchen?
Had they forgotten?
“Big Boss is really cultured, huh?
And the taste of that Australian abalone, you wouldn’t believe, it’s really not bad.”
Su Xuan, holding a plate and eating, walked out smiling.
Seeing him, Zhou Tianhao was stunned.
Wasn’t this the guy who had caused trouble at his restaurant the other day, apparently on behalf of Datang Restaurant?
How could he be here?
Were all the security caras and guards just for show?
“How are you here?”
Zhou Tianhao beca sowhat panicky, backing away, trying to escape, but Su Xuan pulled him back.
“Boss Zhou, we might as well be acquaintances.
Why do you want to run at the sight of ?
You’re really not straightforward.”
