Siheyuan: A Very Happy Era

Chapter 621 Do you know who I am?
"What kind of mess is this?" Lou Xiao'e stood at the door of the room, watching Sha Zhu's retreating figure, and couldn't help but feel extremely irritated.

She had planned everything perfectly. If Sha Zhu agreed to go to Hong Kong with her, she would be able to find Sha Zhu again and enjoy his care.

Unexpectedly, her efforts to please Li Guoqiang in order to secure a cooperation between the Lou family and the Qiangsheng Group have caused her so much trouble.

However, it's too late to regret it now, and the Lou family's increasingly successful business doesn't allow her to have any regrets.

Now, all she can do is try to persuade Sha Zhu and find her ex-husband Pang He Tai to send him back to Hong Kong.

While she was busy making phone calls to inquire about Pang Hetai's situation, Pang Hetai had already met with Lou Tanshi at a restaurant.

"He Tai, is there something you need to ask me to come here?" Lou Tanshi asked Pang He Tai, her former son-in-law, with a somewhat indifferent tone.

"Mom, the reason I asked you to come out this time is to ask you to help persuade Xiao'e to remarry me." Pang Hetai raised an eyebrow and then said with a sincere expression.

"I can't help you with this. If you want to remarry her, then you should go and discuss it with her yourself." Lou Tanshi refused without even thinking.

Now that she has learned that the Lou family has successfully connected with the Qiangsheng Group and that the cooperation is going very smoothly, what she, as the Lou family's concubine, wants to do most is to ensure that Lou Xiao'e continues to maintain a good relationship with Li Guoqiang.

Therefore, let alone Pang Hetai, that good-for-nothing son-in-law, even if it were Sha Zhu, that honest and trustworthy benefactor, she would not agree to Lou Xiao'e being with them.

"Mom, you can't ignore this! No matter what, our Pang family and your Lou family are old friends, and Xiao'e and I have two children. If we can remarry, it will be a good thing for both our Pang family and your Lou family, won't it?" Pang Hetai said anxiously and earnestly.

At this moment, he still thought that Lou Tanshi wanted Lou Xiao'e to be with Sha Zhu, completely unaware that there was a super big shot named Li Guoqiang involved.

At this moment, Lou Tanshi could not explain to Pang Hetai, so she could only say with a cold face: "I have already made it very clear to you, I cannot and do not want to interfere in your affairs."

If you have nothing else to do, I'll head back now.

After saying that, she stood up and left, leaving Pang Hetai sitting there with a puzzled look on his face.

In his opinion, although he was a bit of a womanizer and not very capable, given that the Pang family's business was much better than the Lou family's, Lou Tanshi should not have refused his request!
What is going on here?

Soon, Lou Tan returned to the state-run hotel in Beijing and immediately called Lou Xiao'e out of her room.

"Mom, where did you go before?" Lou Xiao'e asked with some doubt when she saw Lou Tanshi return.

"I went to see He Tai." Upon hearing this, Lou Tanshi made no attempt to hide anything and told him directly.

"What? You went to meet him? What did he say to you?" Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened, and she asked anxiously.

"He asked me to help persuade you to get back together with him, but I refused!" Lou Tanshi looked at Lou Xiao'e's face, which was much less attractive than before, and answered in a deep voice.

"Mom, you did the right thing. Even if you beat me to death, I would never agree to remarry that irresponsible scumbag." Lou Xiao'e felt relieved, but then spoke with some resentment.

Back then, Pang Hetai not only brought other women home in front of her, but he also used her money to support those sluts.

Moreover, if that were all, she might be able to tolerate it for the sake of the Lou and Pang families' reputations.

But when Pang Hetai saw that the Lou family's business was getting worse and worse, he actually asked her for a divorce, which almost made her die of anger.

This also made her miss the kindness that Sha Zhu had shown her back then.

Therefore, after stabilizing the Lou family's business, she took He Xiao and Lou Tanshi back to Beijing, intending to rekindle her relationship with Sha Zhu.

"Alright, Mom knows what you're thinking, I won't force you!" Lou Tanshi gently patted Lou Xiao'e's hand and softly comforted her.

After saying that, she hesitated for a moment, then asked, "By the way, what are your plans with Li Guoqiang now?"

"Plans? What plans could he and I possibly have?" Lou Xiao'e was slightly taken aback, then asked somewhat awkwardly.

"No, my silly daughter, why would you turn down such a good man? Do you really want to be with Sha Zhu?" Lou Tanshi said anxiously.

"Look at what you're saying! Do you think just because I'm willing, others will be willing too?" Lou Xiao'e rolled her eyes and said somewhat irritably.

Upon hearing this, Lou Tanshi was momentarily speechless.

After all, Lou Xiao'e is almost 50 years old. Getting a chance to cooperate is already incredibly lucky. How could she possibly expect a big shot like Li Guoqiang to take her on?

Moreover, Lou Xiao'e is now responsible for managing the Lou family business and has an inseparable relationship with two men.

If it were her, she wouldn't want such a troublesome woman either.

"Mom, if you ask me, you don't need to worry so much. I'll handle my own affairs." Lou Xiao'e reached out and took Lou Tan's arm, then said with a firm expression.

"Alright! But you have to be careful and attentive, and don't offend anyone!" Lou Tan nodded with some concern.

Because she didn't know what kind of person Li Guoqiang was, she couldn't completely put her mind at ease.

If Lou Xiao'e were to do something wrong that causes Li Guoqiang to cancel the Lou family's cooperation with Qiangsheng Group, or even spread rumors that he would deal with the Lou family, then all they would have to do is wait for bankruptcy.

Lou Xiao'e was well aware of this.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have agreed to Li Guoqiang's request so easily in the first place.

She just didn't expect that Li Guoqiang would have the ability to make people younger and more beautiful, catching her completely off guard.

Soon, it was the morning of the second day.

Lou Xiao'e got up early in the morning, dressed herself up carefully, and then carried some expensive gifts to No. 95 Courtyard. She planned to visit Li Guoqiang first to express her gratitude and then see how Li Guoqiang viewed their relationship.

When she entered Li Guoqiang's courtyard, she didn't notice that a tail was following her.

"She's dressed so beautifully, isn't she here to see He Yuzhu?" Pang Hetai stood in front of the gate, watching Lou Xiao'e walk into Li Guoqiang's house, feeling quite puzzled. Then, after a slight hesitation, thinking of his identity as a foreign businessman and the bumpkins in this courtyard, he immediately put his doubts aside, walked straight into the courtyard, and kicked open the door with all his might.

The next moment, he saw Lou Xiao'e squatting on the ground with a humble and ingratiating expression, gently massaging the thigh of a super handsome man sitting on the sofa.

This made his eyes widen instantly, and then he shouted incredulously, "Lou Xiao'e, how could you be so shameless?"

"Pang Hetai? What are you doing here?" Lou Xiao'e was startled, and then asked in a flustered manner.

"Hmph! If I hadn't come along, I wouldn't have discovered that you're such a despicable person!" Pang Hetai snorted coldly, then cursed with a face full of disgust.

"You're talking nonsense! We're already divorced. Whatever I do is none of your business, and you have no right to criticize me!" Lou Xiao'e glared at him, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, and cursed.

"Luckily I divorced you before, otherwise, a shameless woman like you might have done something disgusting!" Pang Hetai said sarcastically, not wanting to be outdone.

"You're shameless!" Lou Xiao'e was furious upon hearing this.

Back then, what Pang Hetai did was far more outrageous than what she did.

How dare you blame her now?

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm telling you, that's enough. Don't forget this is my home. If you want to make a scene, you can go outside."

At this moment, Li Guoqiang suddenly interrupted Lou Xiao'e and Pang Hetai with some impatience.

He was originally in a good mood to experience Lou Xiao'e's attentive service, but now that mood has been completely ruined.

"No, Qiangzi, listen to me, I really didn't expect him to follow us." Lou Xiao'e was startled when she saw Li Guoqiang get angry, and then hurriedly explained.

"Tch, so what if you're a little good-looking? In the end, you're still just a country bumpkin. You should feel honored that I'm allowed into your shabby house. If you can make me happy, I might even give you a hundred or so yuan!" Pang Hetai pointed at Li Guoqiang and mocked him with a face full of disdain.

Upon hearing this, Lou Xiao'e's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "It's all over."

Then, before she could say anything, there was a loud slap.

The next moment, Pang Hetai was slapped to the ground by Li Guoqiang.

"Are you crazy? Do you know who I am? Let me tell you, you're finished. I'll make you kneel down and beg me!" Pang Hetai covered his face with his hands and shouted in disbelief.

"Oh? Is that so? Then let's wait and see who kneels down?" Li Guoqiang raised an eyebrow and then chuckled as he replied.

Immediately afterward, before Pang Hetai could say anything, he turned around and sat back down on the sofa, reaching into his briefcase to take out a satellite phone.

Pang Hetai was about to curse when he suddenly saw the satellite phone in Li Guoqiang's hand that looked like a mobile phone. He swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue, and a look of surprise and uncertainty appeared on his face.

It's important to understand that even in Hong Kong, not just anyone can own a mobile phone; one must have a certain status and position to be worthy of it.

In addition, he had also wondered if this mobile phone was given to Li Guoqiang by Lou Xiao'e.

However, even so, this mobile phone cannot be used in China!

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, a cold yet respectful male voice suddenly came from the satellite phone in Li Guoqiang's hand.

"boss!"

"Ah Jiu, tell Big Fool to uproot the Pang family in Hong Kong within half an hour," Li Guoqiang calmly instructed into the satellite phone.

"Yes! I guarantee I will complete the mission!" Upon hearing the order, Li Chongjiu immediately agreed without uttering a single unnecessary word.

Immediately afterward, Li Guoqiang hung up the phone and said to Pang Hetai with a kind expression, "Mr. Pang, I suggest you find a phone booth now and call home. Otherwise, you might have to fly back yourself and end up homeless with them."

"Don't think that just because you have a cell phone and are acting all high and mighty, I'll be afraid of you. Do you know how powerful the Pang family is in Hong Kong? You even said you could wipe out the Pang family in half an hour. Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

Pang Hetai swallowed hard, then shouted in a somewhat blustering but cowardly manner.

However, when his gaze swept over the exquisitely crafted satellite phone that didn't look like a toy at all, his body couldn't help but tremble.

This is his fear of the unknown and the serious consequences that Li Guoqiang mentioned.

If what Li Guoqiang said is true, then his life is completely over.

"Qiangzi, listen to me. I really didn't know he would secretly follow me here. Besides, we've been divorced for a long time. Whatever he does has nothing to do with me."

When Lou Xiao'e saw that Pang Hetai was still shouting recklessly, she hurriedly sat down next to Li Guoqiang and explained in a panic.

She was afraid that Li Guoqiang would take his anger out on her and then uproot the Lou family as well.

"Alright, Aunt Lou, I'm not an unreasonable person, you don't need to worry so much." Li Guoqiang was slightly amused when he saw Lou Xiao'e like this, then reached out and patted Lou Xiao'e's back, gently comforting her.

"Yes, Qiangzi, thank you, thank you for believing in me!" Lou Xiao'e burst into tears of joy upon hearing this.

"Lou Xiao'e, don't pretend with me. I don't believe that a country bumpkin like him could possibly go against the Pang family." Pang Hetai panicked when he saw Lou Xiao'e's behavior and shouted angrily at her.

It's as if the louder he shouts, the less likely his fears will come true.

"Pang Hetai, do you know who he is? He's the head of the domestic region for Qiangsheng Group. I advise you to hurry up and find a phone booth to call home. Don't let your family end up on the streets without even knowing it's your fault!"

When Lou Xiao'e saw that Pang Hetai wouldn't shed a tear until he saw the coffin, she couldn't help but stand up and reveal Li Guoqiang's identity.

Upon hearing Li Guoqiang's identity, Pang Hetai was instantly terrified.
