Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

Seeing Geng Qi's expression, which looked like she had swallowed a raw egg, the atmosphere in the courtyard suddenly changed from heavy to somewhat comical.

They looked at each other and finally couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Second sister-in-law Tang Dan pointed at Geng Qi, laughing and shaking her head at the same time:

"Third sister-in-law, you're always all talk and no action. You're so boastful all the time, but when it comes to actually spending money, you're like this?"

Geng Qi was still in shock, her face was deathly pale, and her hand, which was supporting her against the pillar, was still trembling.

Seeing this, the second sister-in-law stopped smiling, waved her hand, and said:

"Alright, alright, we were just kidding. We wouldn't actually make your family pay millions, would we? That would be driving someone crazy!"

"Three and a half million is indeed not a small amount, and my brother and sister-in-law never expected you to pay it all."

At this point, the second sister-in-law changed the subject, her tone becoming more serious:

"But no matter what, you've caused such a huge mess this time, you have to pay a price to learn a lesson!"

"Tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, your family definitely can't escape it, and they have to take it!"

Geng Qi seemed to have just come back to her senses. She opened her mouth, but found her throat was too dry to speak.

Zhang Jianmin, who was standing next to him, reacted quite quickly.

He is an honest man, and this time he also felt that he really owed his elder brother's family too much.

He stepped forward, picked up the conversation, and said through gritted teeth:

"Second sister-in-law is right! We were in the wrong first and should be punished!"

"Two hundred thousand is too little; it's not enough to express our apology."

"I'll give you 300,000! Even if I have to sell everything I own, I'll definitely get that money for my brother!"

The second brother, Zhang Jianjun, nodded and patted his younger brother on the shoulder:

"Third brother, you're talking like a man. Okay, it's settled then."

Upon hearing that only 300,000 yuan was required, Geng Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and leaned against a pillar as if she had collapsed.

Although 300,000 yuan still stung, compared to the terrifying 3.5 million yuan from before, this was practically a lifesaver.

She nodded quickly, her voice still a little weak:

"Thank you everyone for your understanding, thank you second brother and second sister-in-law..."

Seeing this, Li Ze leaned close to Zhang Ruoran's ear and whispered with a smile:

"See? This is what they mean by 'if you want to open a window, you have to first advocate for tearing down the roof.'"

"If we had told her from the beginning that we would only ask her to pay 300,000, she would have made a fuss for a long time."

"But if I first tear down the roof and say I need millions, she definitely won't accept that."

"Later, my second sister-in-law told her to spend less, so she definitely paid the 300,000 yuan willingly."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoran lightly patted Li Ze's arm, scolding him playfully:

"You're so cunning! How come I never realized you were so good at scheming before?"

Li Ze chuckled and took Ruoran's hand in the process:

"Of course not. If I don't know so much, how can I be your husband? How can I protect our family?"

Zhang Ruoran blushed and tried to pull her hand back, but couldn't. She could only glare at him.

"Get lost, stop trying to take advantage of me. I haven't agreed to remarry you yet; we're still in the probationary period."

Li Ze wasn't annoyed. He looked at her gently, his tone firm:

"Don't worry, in my heart, you will always be my wife."

"It was true in the past, it is true now, and it will be true in the future. You can't escape it in this lifetime."

Zhang Ruoran felt a little embarrassed by his direct gaze, turned her head away, and muttered:

"Okay, okay, that's so cheesy. Aren't you ashamed to do that in front of the kids? It's giving me goosebumps."

Standing to the side, Li Mengli watched her parents flirting and teasing each other, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter, her mouth agape.

After settling things with Zixuan, it was getting late.

Li Ze checked the time, walked aside, and made a phone call to Lao Yi.

"Old Yi, drive the car to the intersection. I'm about to head to Pan-Ocean International."

After hanging up the phone, Li Ze returned to Zhang Ruoran's side and said:

"If that's the case, then I'll go first and meet the person who sent the text message."

Zhang Ruoran's smile faded slightly as she looked at Li Ze and earnestly instructed him:

"Go on your way, but don't forget what I just told you."

"If you dare to cause trouble over there, or if that's your old flame, you can forget about ever seeing me again."

Li Ze raised three fingers:

"Of course, I would never do that, I know what I'm doing."

A short while later, Lao Yi sent a message saying that the car had arrived.

Li Ze greeted Zhang Ruoran and the rest of the family, then turned to leave.

Just at this time.

Li Mengli suddenly jumped out from behind and grabbed Li Ze's arm:

"Dad! Wait a minute!"

Li Ze stopped and looked at his daughter with a puzzled expression:

"What's wrong? Is there something else?"

Li Mengli blinked and said with a matter-of-fact expression:

"I want to go too!"

"What are you going to do?" Li Ze was stunned.

"We were going to do business, not to have fun, and we didn't even know who the other party was."

Li Mengli raised her chin and said confidently:

"I'm going...I'm going to keep an eye on you!"

"Mom just said she's worried about you. I'm her closest confidante, so I have to keep an eye on you to prevent you from being bewitched by some vixen!"

Li Ze was both amused and exasperated, but he put on a serious face and said:

"Stop joking, it's dangerous there. You heard it yourself, they were able to find my satellite phone, they're definitely not ordinary people."

Li Mengli wasn't afraid at all; instead, she hugged him even tighter.

"I'm not afraid at all! I believe Dad is the best, he can definitely protect me!"

After saying that, she turned to Zhang Ruoran and called out:

"Mom! Look! Dad doesn't want me to go with him. He's definitely up to something! Is he afraid I'll ruin his plans?"

Li Ze laughed angrily:

"Hey! What's wrong with you, kid? You're talking nonsense to your mother! Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Li Mengli made a face at him:

"Hehe, then take me there and I'll believe you!"

Zhang Ruoran originally didn't want her daughter to take any risks.

But then I thought about it again. Li Ze had just boasted about his current strength, saying he was the world's richest man and had a security team.

Moreover, having her daughter keep an eye on things does give her more peace of mind.

So, Zhang Ruoran looked at Li Ze and asked seriously:

"Can you guarantee Mengli's safety?"

Li Ze thought for a while.

Although Bai Qianyue is somewhat mysterious, she has an entire organized army of cyborgs under her command.

Moreover, this is China, a country ruled by law. No matter how powerful the other side is, can they really turn the world upside down?

Thinking of this, Li Ze nodded and said confidently:

"Yes. As long as I'm here, no one can harm a single hair on her head."

Zhang Ruoran nodded:

"That's settled then, let her go, it'll be good for her to broaden her horizons."

Seeing that his wife had spoken, Li Ze could only nod helplessly.

Li Mengli jumped up with joy.

The father and daughter bid farewell to everyone and walked out of the courtyard.

Upon reaching the intersection, a black sedan was quietly parked under a streetlamp.

That was driven here by the old man.

The second brother, Zhang Jianjun, was just about to come out for a smoke when he heard the noise and curiously followed him out to take a look.

All I could see was Li Ze and Li Mengli get into the car and drive away, and then all I could see was the rear of the car.

But by the light of the street lamp, he could clearly see the car logo.

That eye-catching double-R logo, and that design.

The second brother almost dropped the cigarette in his hand, his eyes wide with surprise.

"Good heavens! Isn't that a Rolls-Royce?!"

"Look at that height and rear end... and it's the most expensive Cullinan?!"

The second brother's mind was in complete chaos.

no……

The night before last, when we were having dinner, didn't this guy confidently say that he had only earned five million overseas?

How could someone with a net worth of five million possibly afford a luxury car worth seven or eight million?!

Even renting this car for a day would cost tens of thousands, right?

The second brother stood in the wind, watching the taillights of the departing car, and fell into deep self-doubt.

……

In the car.

Li Ze sat in the back seat, and Li Mengli excitedly touched and looked at everything next to him.

He gazed at the fleeting night scenery outside the window, his tone turning cold and menacing as he gave the order to the driver in the driver's seat:

"Oldest one."

"Notify the Shenlong Brigade to activate the highest level of security plan."

"Since we're bringing Mengli along, we can't afford to have any mishaps."

"Whether they're human or ghost, if they dare to have any evil intentions, take them down immediately."

The older man gripped the steering wheel and answered in a deep voice:

"Understood, boss."
