Hong Kong movies: Do you love your sister-in-law or gold?

Chapter 12: Unhappy? Hold it in! (Please read on)
After Liu Jianming and Yan Ting left Dongfeng Garden, Yan Ting invited him to walk to Qiming Building.

A high-end private restaurant is located on the 28th floor of the building. During dinner, the two of them can enjoy a bird's-eye view of Victoria Harbour.

To Yan Ting's surprise, Liu Jianming secretly paid the bill in the middle of dinner.

Yan Ting said angrily, "Didn't we agree that this meal was my way of thanking you for helping me recover the money and settle the renovations?"

"It's no fun if you rush to pay the bill!"

Liu Jianming shrugged and said, "I don't want the memory of my first dinner with Sister Ting to be a feast when your company was struggling."

"I think Sister Ting owes me a meal. It's quite interesting. Please invite her back next time!"

Liu Jianming just didn't want Yan Ting to repay the favor so early. With the excuse of "treating you to dinner next time", there could be countless next times.

After dinner, Liu Jianming and Yan Ting took the evening ferry back to Kowloon.

The night breeze was cool over the Hong Kong River. Liu Jianming took off his black jacket and draped it over Yan Ting's shoulders.

After the ferry arrived at the port, Liu Jianming did not mention it, and Yan Ting did not return the jacket. The two of them strolled and chatted back to the gate of Yan Ting's family's community.

From a distance, Liu Jianming noticed that the street lights at the entrance of the community stretched out three figures.

It was a middle-aged man and a young boy and girl.

The boy and girl were Yan Ting’s children, 19-year-old Zhong Liwen and 15-year-old Zhong Jiali.

The middle-aged man next to them was Yan Ting’s “ex-husband”, Zhong Zhihua, who ran away with the money and his mistress a few months ago.

Because Zhong Liwen will graduate from university preparatory course this year, Yan Ting wants to send him to study abroad at Imperial College.

Her younger sister, Zhong Jiali, was in her rebellious period in middle school, so Yan Ting was always worried about upsetting her children and did not tell them Zhong Zhihua's true identity.

As a result, siblings Zhong Liwen and Zhong Jiali always believed that their parents just "quarreled and separated", and they even tried all kinds of tricks to help their parents get back together.

Today is Zhong Liwen’s 19th birthday. He made an appointment with his mother to have dinner together to celebrate his birthday, and then secretly notified his father to come over.

I hope to use the warm family atmosphere to promote reconciliation between parents.

As a result, Yan Ting broke her promise for the entire evening, leaving the father and his two sons to finish the birthday party in awkwardness.

Now I actually saw a handsome young man in his twenties sending his mother home late at night.

Zhong Liwen has an impulsive and irritable personality, and among his peers, he has always built his confidence with his outstanding height and appearance.

But now he finds that he is far superior to Liu Jianming, who is the same age as him, in terms of height, appearance, temperament and charm.

Zhong Liwen immediately exploded, "Mom, today is my first birthday as an adult. What do you mean by breaking your promise to have dinner with this loser?"

Yan Ting was about to explain and comfort him, but Liu Jianming refused to indulge him: "You also said it was your adult birthday, but the way you treat your mother, I don't think you are an adult. You are a mama's boy!"

"What did you say?"

Enraged, Zhong Liwen raised his hands and was ready to fight.

Yan Ting had a deep memory of Liu Jianming's skills in beating up the decorator and torturing the pickpocket.

Although her son Zhong Liwen also likes to practice free fighting, she is sure that if the two of them fight, it will be her son who gets beaten up.

Yan Ting hurried forward and hugged Zhong Liwen's arm, explaining: "Liwen, from now on, Mommy will be able to spend every birthday with you."

"Today, Mommy was just withdrawing money from the bank when it was stolen. It was handsome Ming who helped me recover it. You know how important this money is to our home renovation project."

Yan Ting's explanation made sense, but her eagerness to pull Zhong Liwen's arm still made Zhong Zhihua and his daughter feel something was wrong. In their impression, Zhong Liwen had always been a violent and aggressive person, but he was strong and ruthless and had never suffered any loss.

Liu Jianming on the opposite side was extremely handsome and gave people a very gentle feeling.

So in the eyes of Zhong Zhihua and his daughter, Yan Ting held Zhong Liwen because she cared about and wanted to protect Liu Jianming.

Zhong Zhihua originally owed a lot of high-interest loans to Dongxingba, and he also took his mistress to settle down in the mainland. He felt guilty in front of Yan Ting and was reluctant to interfere in her life.

But now seeing Yan Ting defending a handsome 20-year-old boy like this, Zhong Zhihua, although he knew that he was divorced, still felt that he was being cheated on.

So Zhong Zhihua walked over and rebuked him with the air of an elder: "Young man, Liwen and his mother have always had a good relationship. You need to put yourself in the right place!"

Liu Jianming is very "philanthropic" towards beautiful women, so if Zhong Zhihua just "falls in love with two women at the same time", he would not be very contemptuous.

However, Zhong Zhihua borrowed high-interest loans from a society, and then lived a carefree life with his mistress, leaving his wife and children to pay off the debt. He is such a scumbag.

Zhong Zhihua is not a social newbie. From the moment he borrowed high-interest loans from Ba Bi, he should have realized how miserable his wife and daughter would be if they could not repay the money.

Liu Jianming said bluntly: "Uncle, it's you who should put yourself in the right place, right? Don't think that just because you look a bit like Big Brother Cheng, you can speak so arrogantly!"

"You're just an ex-husband who ran away due to debts. Don't act like a big shot!"

"You!" Zhong Zhihua was furious, but unable to refute.

Although there are dozens of large gangs in Hong Kong Island, the counterfeit money group is still the top of the underworld business.

Back then, Brother Hao and Brother Mark of the counterfeit money group were much more powerful and impressive than the bosses of several major gangs today.

It’s just that two years ago, Brother Hao was arrested and imprisoned overseas, and I heard that Brother Mark is also disabled. Now the leader of the counterfeit money group is Brother Cheng.

Zhong Zhihua is tall, and he used to feel secretly happy when others praised him for looking like an older brother.

But today, the young man in front of him scolded him as worthless!
Zhong Zhihua was too embarrassed to refute, but Zhong Liwen completely went berserk.

"How dare you insult my dad? Challenge me!"

Liu Jianming pointed at Yan Ting's jacket and said with a smile, "Sister Ting and I are equals. You are my nephew."

"Wouldn't it be me bullying you to fight you one-on-one? But as a junior, you should know respect and hierarchy. Are you upset with me? Then hold it in!"

Seeing that Zhong Liwen was suppressed, Zhong Zhihua wanted to argue a few more words, but Liu Jianming pointed directly at his nose and said coldly:
"You don't really think you have Big Brother Cheng's respect, do you? Get out of my sight within one minute, or I'll call Dongxing Babi right now!"

"It's time for you to experience what it's like to be chased for debt by Babi!"

Thinking of the ferocious Ba Bi, Zhong Zhihua was immediately frightened. Without even saying hello to Zhong Liwen and his sister, he turned around and left.

Zhong Liwen angrily asked, "You can talk to Ba Bi? Did you approach my mom just to collect a debt from us?"

"I'll take responsibility for my mom's debt. Don't bother my mom and my sister anymore, or I won't let you go!"

Although Zhong Liwen has an impulsive and troublesome personality and is not likable, his love for his family and mother is indeed beyond reproach.

He sincerely defended his mother and sister, which made Liu Jianming dislike him less.

Liu Jianming shrugged and said, "I don't have any friendship with Ba Bi right now. I just applied to the police academy not long ago. From now on, my only friendship will be summoning him to the police station to greet him!"

Zhong Liwen's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have an idea to deal with Liu Jianming.
